THE M0N0N ATTACHED APPIJCATION YESTERDAY IN LOUISVILLE FOR A RECEIVER. Proceedings Similar to Those in This City Recently The Consolidated Railroad Schemes. Bernard Ilollman, the holder of ten of the Richmond, Nlcholasvllle. Irvine & BeattyviUe Railroad Company's bonds, payment of which was guaranteed by the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company, Ud milt vesterdav at Louisville aeainst the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad Company and the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company, the pl&lntlff taking an attachment against the properties cf the defendants and asking that a receiver be appointed to take charge of certain property specifically described In tho petition. The proceedings are Intended to cover property of the company located In Kentucky and are In line with a similar suit recently brougnt at Indianapolis. Making It Pay. The United States Investor devotes a long article to a general review of the situation as affected by recently effected and pending consolidations and alliances, showing the difference between the operations and the results In this connection at the present day and those which prevailed a decade ago. Whereas, only recently the organi zations effected had for their object the lightening of the burdens of the stockhold er, without regard to consequences, those of the present day are more drastic, and look first to increasing the efficiency and earning capacity of the road, at whatever Initial or temporary cost. Not only are railroad men of the widest experience and soundest business Judgment secured as ex ecutive officers, but the interests of those who have put their money into the roads are watched with the keenest scrutiny by the shrewdest business men of the country such successful bankers as J. I. Morgan & Co.. Brown Brothers. Kuhn, Loeb Ac Co., Epeyer & Co., Maltland. Coppell & Co., and rrany otners no less aistinguisnea in xne field of finance. "When a road is reorganized nowadays the principal object sought la to Increase its earning capacity and place It in the best physical condition. And when consolidations take place, It Is known that destructive rivalries between the lines con cerned have ceased, and that the shipping public may henceforth have something to depend upon in the way of stable rates. The point aimed at Is definite net results. and in order to feel the ground sure and safe beneath then the managers find it necessary to take the shippo- into their confidence and to treat him norably giving no special favors to anyone. This has been the policy that .has prevailed since the panic of '93, and good results are every where apparent, especially on the stock ex change, where, in many cases, stocks have. since, reorganization, advanced from SO to 60 per cent. not temporarily, but perma nentlygiving mem value as investment securities. By consolidations It has been found possible to dispense with the services of scores of well-paid officials, and under efficient and watchful management wasteful and extravagant expenditure has been tut down to reasonable limits. In view of the results obtained it seems strange that there is not a further effort at consolidations which would put an end to disastrous rival ries. Fast Run on the Wabash. The fastest time ever made on the fifth district of the Wabash, which extends from Peru to Montpelier, O., has Just been accomplished with a run of the west-bound Continental limited, from New York to St. Louis, and It Is at the same time a credita ble run for any part of the road or for any road, all thine tak The Continental limited was pulled by EnKiiieer aieooia. wun iso. &z, a eeventeen- , Inch engine, having sixty-elght-lnch drive wheels. The distance from Montpelier to Peru is ninety-nine miles, and it was covered In eighty-eight minutes actual running time, or an hour and fifty-two minutes with ten StOOS and alor-dnwn rnnnfi1 In Tha fa3t run was merely the result of trying to mane up a nine lost time, ana there was no special preparation for the run. There were jour neavy cars in xne train. A Singular Order. A general order from the superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was placed in conspicuous places about the hops at Garret yesterday which is causing considerable comment among the men of that city who are holding offices of honor and public trust.

The reports of railroad earnings made from week to week by the different lines Indicate that the aggregate earnings for July will exceed the phenomenal returns for, June. In that month there were nine lines showing gains of $200,000 and more, the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul showln tr a. grain at lK.VHmik th larr -j h Missouri Pacific $203,000, the smallest in the list.

Harry Crawford, owner, manager and at. torney of the Chicago & Southeastern Railroaa, was in Anderson yesterday in con sultation with his chief assistant. Mr. A. Stephens.

Hamilton & Dayton Rail road. General Notes. President Harriman. of the Chicago & Al ton, now in Alaska, Is expected home in about two weeks. The emnlcves of the Chlcatro division of the Big Four will picnic at the Crawfordsvllle fair grounds to-day. Assistant General Passenger Agent Hughes, of the Grand Trunk, denies the report that he had resigned his position. It is thoucht the absorption of the Texas Pacific by the Missouri Pacific will soon give the former a dividend-earning capacity. General Passenger Aeent Morton, of the Burlington. Cedar RaDlds & Northern. Is en route to Europe on a sixty days' leave of absence granted him by the company on account of failing health. II. R. Moore, general freight agent of the Cleveland, Canton & Southern Railroad, has resigned to accept the position of traf fic manager of the Republic Iron and Steel Company, with headquarters at Chicago. The Rock Island has announced that it would put In the same basing rate from Missouri river points on Alaska business a? is in effect from St: Paul, and make the rate from Seattle to Chicago, via the Missouri river, $47.50, Instead of $32.50. Oklahoma has probably the youngest loco motive engineer. In the person of Phil D. curry, or the Tecumseh Railway, son of the superintendent and master mechanic. He is now only seventeen years old and has been running a locomotive lor three years. The Illinois Central road has completed arrangements with the Pullman Company for tne equipment of the Chicago-rsew Or leans. St. Louis-New Orleans and Cincin nati-New Orleans trains with new twelvesection drawing-room cars having all modern improvements. On the 30th of June. 1897. as shown br the interstate-commerce commission figures re cently published, there were 128 railways In the hands of receivers, with a total mileage of 1S.M52. During the year ending June 20, 1SDS, these figures were reduced to nlnetyiour ana iz,74o, respectively. The total number of visitors to the city on account of the recent EDworth League gathering, as shown by the statistics of the Central fassenfier Association was 15.395. of wnicn 4,rj were deposited for extension. Of tne latter it may be taken for granted that per cent, were deposited by persons who took advantage of the cheap rates to visit otner points than Indianapolis. There is more work beins: done In the con structlon of new lines and the perfecting of tne condition or old ones than for many years. Especially is a great amount of labor neing expended in putting roadbeds In the best condition, the operative departments realizing. that to do business satisfactorily ana at a pront there must be a perfect track unaer tne best rolling stock. The new Saratoga limited of the New xork Central covers the distance between New York city and Saratoga In three hours and forty-five minutes. General Passenger Agent Ianlels is very proud of the Sara toga limited, made up as it is of Wagner palace coaches, costing in the aggregate over J200.0UO, and furnished with every mod ern device ior tne comiort of the passengers. The Santa Fe has obtained a charter to build three lines of road to cover all of eastern Oklahoma. Under this privilege a company has been chartered to build a road from Guthrie, south of the Cimarron, east to the coal fields of the Creek Nation, and connecting with the Kansas. Okla homa Central and Southwestern, now under construction southward from Canev. Kan. The construction of the other lines will be unaertaKen soon. Announcement is made of the death of General Freight Agent Allen T. Wells, of xne Denver & itlo Grande. He was born at Memphis. Tenn.. In 1854. and entered the railway service in 1876 as cleTk in the audi tor's office of the Denver & Pacific. In Oc tober, lsSl, he entered the general freight office of the Denver & Rio Grande. In 1SS7 he was made general agent of the freight department, and in 1S90 he was appointed assistant general freight agent, with head quarters at Denver, subsequently he was maae general ireignt agent. There appears to be some trouble between the managers of the Western railroads and the quartermaster s department over the transportation of soldiers from the East for Manila. The roads had entered Into an agreement not to compete lor the business by cutting rates, and the quartermaster general seems to be directing his efforts in a quiet way toward breaking that agree ment. It is now stated the quartermaster general will send an troops to north Pa cific coast ports by the roads running west from St. Paul which are not parties to the agreement. Prof. Mosso. of Italy, has been making experiments for clearing tunnels of smoke. rear Genoa is a tunnel through which 300 ii a? vacs-aa j f itiiit) aw w iiu dauvac that the air is poisoned with the gases, and It is difficult to keep up the fire under the engine's boilers. Prof. Mosso tried two methods. First, he carried on the tender cylinders containing compressed air at a pressure of fifty atmospheres, which was allowed to escape slowly while passing through the tunnel. The second experiment was with compressed pure oxygen, which was allowed to escape into the fire under the boiler, causing complete combustion and preventing the elimination of . poisonous gases. As a result of the two experiments the company will use the compressed air method, as it is much cheaper and almost us cuwute. .i VITAL STATISTICS JULY 25. Marriage Licenses.

We go along swinging and singing; Baddies are strong and cinches tight. And hoofs on the prairie ringing-. They say that the sheen of the grass Is old. That the soul Is a crop of the pralrle'inold. That the law Is stronger than love and cold Who, then. Is the God of God? We will worship th God of their legal God, Of the meadow-lark wheeling and reeling. Of the wanton wind and the wayward brush. And the lawless wolf a-stealing. We're the lawleM sons of the Lord of law. We quit the trail and cross the draw: And we'll build a town where the sun goes oown To the Lord of the Sabbath day. We will build a town on a table-land. With wind-mills whirling and swirllnr. And wells that are deep as the fountains of sleep, And breeze-swert grays a-rurllne. We'll build us a town where the sods are tough. A-smngie.i wnn mua ana sapung-stufr; And establish a court and cathedral there To the God of the open air. The cities of fate are hid behind In the dut of the golden plain; We leave the lands of the harnessed hands, And the dismal lands of rain. We're a-westerlns; out to a world of news, P.lithe mutineers that rick and choone: We mock at the mills and the rested-brick kilns And the gods of things as they are. We mount with the sun in the springing light. We riJe along swinging and tinging; Saddles are rtrong and cinches tight. And the prairie-hens a-winging. We fling in the teeth of the wind a whim And thout to the bulging horizon-rim. The song of the rnhicle-God of might The God that does as lis likes. Charles Ferguson, in the August Critic

Sliver certificates, 60G61c; bar silver, GOc; Mexican dollars, 4Sc. At London bar silver closed steady at 27id an ounce. The New York stock market continued well nigh lifeless yesterday, only a few stocks showing any movement of price worthy of note. The movement was so narrow and sluggish that it was difficult at times to distinguish the tendency of prices. Rock Island showed an opening gain of Vt. while St. Paul opened down St. Paul was not Influenced at all by the statement of earnings In the third week, which again broke all previous records.- The stock was heavy all day and was the only ono of the granger group which hung below Monday night's level for most of the day. Late in the day there was an Increased demand for Rock Island, which lifted Its price about a point above Monday night's level. The Southwestern rose at the same time over a point each. Iowa Central also continued to advance. There was a period of midday strength In the Pressed Steel stocks,- which rose Zi and 22, respectively. A simultaneous movement, apparently sympathetic, affected National Steel, Federal Steel, Tennessee Coal and Tin-plate, and later the American Hoop stock rose 24 and 1U. re spectively. None of these gains was fully held, and on the other hand American Smelting and Colorado Fuel showed sharp declines. General Electric was advanced to 124U, but reacted a point. Consolidated Gas, the Linseed Oil stocks, International Paper and National Biscuit showed symp toms of weakness and an early gain was lost. The money market continued steady. The weekly statement of the Imperial Bank or Germany reflected the process of retrench ment Kolng on In foreign financial circles. The bank's cash has been increased over J3.80O.O0O. while its loans were contracted nearly $5,000,000 and Its note circulation re duced over $9,000,000 during the week. New York exchange at Interior points in this country reflected an Increased demand on this center for funds. The serious aspect at Cleveland of the street-car strike had rather a depressing effect on the market. The day s business was close to the low est levels of the year. The railroad bond market was dull and Irregular, except for a large absorption of St. Louis & Southwestern seconds. Total sales, par value, $1,710,000.
