TAIIKINGTON Mnnngrr. CONTROLLED: WITH AIR EXPERI3IEXT ON THE Ll E. & W. WITH Tit A IX OF FIFTY CARS. Boston & Albany Stockholders Objectlxtsr to tbe Vanderbllt Lease i of the Old Road, The Indianapolis and Michigan City dlvlelon of the Lake Erie & Western Railroad made a successful experiment Thursday sight In hauling fifty freight cars under control of air from the engine. The road is having 1,000 thirty-six-foot box cars constructed In Michigan City, and Thursday night fifty of these new earn, making a train over 2.000 feet long, "were connected up with air from end to end and run from Michigan City to Tipton to" be distributed over the Peoria division of the main line. Assistant Superintendent Blckell was on the train. Tbe engine had an eight-Inch pump and the train moved with all the ease of a passenger train. The road has numerous hills, which was a further trial, but In every Tespect the experiment was a success. The Boston, and Albaxijr Lease. The stockholders In the Boston & Albany Railroad who object to the proposed lease of the road to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company have recently been met by the argument in favor of the lease that the natural connection Of the Boston & Albany road makes it dependent upon the New York Central for a large amount of its business, and that, In case the lease does not go through the Vantierbllts might purchase the Fitchburg Railroad and make the Central's eastern connection over that line, thus shutting off tha tAlbany. t A Boston special of Thursday says: T. Jefferson Coolidge said to-day: "The lease fcas made without any consultation, so far is I can learn, with any of the large stockholders of the Albany road. The line has been earning 12 per cent, for the last five years, and is now leased at 8. with a bonus, eald to be one-hali of 1 per cent, more, taken out of the rroperty of the Albany. With regard to the connection between the 'Albany and the New York Central, it should be borne in mind that the Albany controls business of a large volume to and from local points on its line, which it row gives to the New York Central, and this business would be lost to the Central should the friendly relations be broken. The whole matter is one of give and take, and I cannot conceive that the New York Central should find it to its Interest to antagonize the Albany and run the risk of losing a good portion of the New England traffic, while the Albany Is ready and willing to make a fair exchange of business." George U. Crocker said: "I do not think that the rental reserved In the proposed lease is adequate. I believe that the Boston & Albany has earned considerably more than 8 per cent, on Its capital, and can continue to do so. Those in favor of the lease, who say that the New York Central can Injure the Boston & Albany by withdrawing business from It, seem to me to be trying to maintain a very foolish proposition. The New York Central has given the Boston & Albany such business, and only such busjness as It found to its advantage to give Unman Railroad Gnlde. 'Marcus Rubenstein, of Matthews, Ind., is perhaps the best-posted young man on railroads in the United States, although he has never worked a day for a railway company in his life. He knows the time of departure and arrival of every fast train from each station in the United States, the distance In miles between stations, when every local passenger train leaves each union station in the United States, at what stations they fltop and what time they make, the fare between all stations, every summer resort on each railway, the number of miles of road each company owns, every train that carries dining cars, every train that carries Sleepers, the price of meals and berths and every railway connection. There Is nothing about the railway systems of the United ' States he does not know. Mr. Rubenstein has a wonderful memory and can- recite a dozen pages after once reading it. He is a lover of railroads and has made it a study, although he never applied for a position. - Northwestern Earnings. Thefortleth annual report of the Chicago ifi; Northwestern Railroad Company, issued yesterday, showed that the net Income for the year was $3,635,325, a net increase of 1,31(.407 over the preceding year. Gross earnings amounted to I3S.015.31X an increase of Jl,l)5.752. Passenger earnings for the year were P3.067.625. freight receipts amounted to S2S.155.675. and the revenue from express, mail and miscellaneous business Xcoted up T1,T93,010. Monon Case In V. 9.

New York bankers, announce they have bought the W,jO.0u) of new Chicago & Alton 3-per cent subscription bonds "when issued." The price paid has not been made public. George W. Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, yesterday emphatically denied the report that he was to leave the service of the l'ennsylvanla to manage the transportation service of the Southern. The committee to arbitrate the differential Question, which Is to meet socn, expects to tret through with is work In about two month. Every rotd interested is to be given c hearing. arl the discussions are exnected to brjn out many interesting facts and op.u- 1

Ions. It is supposed the matter of the payment of commissions will also be taken up. as the two questions are largely interdependent. C. S. Mcllen. president of the Northern Pacific Railroad, in an Interview yesterday admitted that the Union Pacific had been offered a half interest in the Northern Pacific from Portland to Tacoma and terminals In Tacoma on advantageous terms. In addition to the through sleepers on the Knickerbocker, the Big Four has placed In service a first-class day coach, running through to Buffalo, leaving Indianapolis at 6:25 p. m. and arriving at Buffalo at 6:1$ a. m. Returning leaves Buffalo at 10:50 p. m., arriving at Indianapolis at 11:30 a. m. The Pennsylvania officials are making arrangements for running a through train from the river division of the Cleveland & Iittsburg to connect with the Wheeling flyers of the Panhandle at Steubenvllle. This will give the patrons of the road residing cn the west side of the Ohio a shorter route to Pittsburg by twenty-nine miles. J. B. Hutchinson, general manager of the Pennsylvania, publishes a card denying that there Is any truth in the recent report that a large number of cars loaded with merchandise and perishable freight wer? sidetracked on the Pennsylvania line between Philadelphia and New York. He says there Is not a car sidetracked between the points named. There is a bitter fight on between the Michigan Central and the Detroit & Toledo Shore-line. Last night a gang of track men of the latter road was arrested near Monroe, Mich., on the charge of trespass. The Shore-line was extending its track over property claimed by the Michigan Central. The place is now guarded by men from the latter road. Local railroad officials who read the announcement of the formation of the St. LouLs. Springfield & .Vlncennes Railroad Company, with a view to paralleling the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, are skeptical. They cannot see that there Is any business hi sight or prospective to support such a line, and do not think it would be possible for the projectors to unload their road upon the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, the day for such schemes having passed. A railroad line is projected beteew Fremont. O., and Milwaukee. The projectors are T. W. Boynton and Frank P. McGraw, of Grand Rapids, and W. J. Brewer, of London, England. Mr. Boynton says they propose to build a railroad to be known as the Central Michigan, to be about 50 miles long and to extend from Grand Haven.

Mich., to Freemont. O., passing through urand Rapids. Battle Creek. Coidwater. Camden, Pioneer, West Unity, Napoleon, Bowling Green and other Michigan and Ohio cities. The Bralntree-Cohasset branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad has begun running nil its. tc-su'ar trains by the third rail-system. The portion of the road from Bralntree to Nantasket Junction has been running trains by this method for several years. Col. N. H. Heft, supervisor of the electrical department of the road, says: "We regard the opening of this system as one of the most important ventures lnrallroad circles in many years. We Intend to draw regular passenger trains on the Cohasset-Braintreo branch, hauling as many as eight to ten cars." Col. Boone, of Zanejvi!e, O., tacked by English capitalists, is organizing a system of lines to connect Knoxvills. Tenn., with Port Royal. S. O. In preparation for this the North Georgia Railroad, Incorporated in 1SSK. is to be reorganized as the Ohio. Knoxville & Port Royal, and as its charter permits the operation of steamers it is thought the new company will establish a line of boats to connect Port Royal with Augusta. Savannah and other Important points. The Georgia Legislature has been asked to remove the limit on amount of stock to be'issued and to extend the life of the charter to eighty yeara General Manager Barnard, of the Peoria & Eastern, has purchased three first-clasa parlor cars for service on the western division. These cars will run on the train leaving Peoria at 11:40 a. m. and on that leaving Indianapolis for the west at the same hour. One of the three cars will be put into the shops and converted Into a combination parlor and dining car. As soon as ready for service It will take its place on the road and a second car will be similarly converted, as will the third in due time. The dining" service at the stations on the road is not at all satisfactory, which Is the reason assigned for putting in these new cars. Several months ago George Skellcy. an engineer on the Pennsylvania, was indefinitelysuspended on account of a wreck in which he was involved. Recently the man agement concluded to reinstate him, but upon inquiry nothing could be learned of hl3 whereabouts. The brotherhood took the matter up and endeavored to trace him but in vain. A few day ago. he was found in quarantine on the farm of his father-In-law. near Lorette. While working on the farm a stranger nut in. his appearance suffering with smallpox and the place was quarantined, so that Skelley could neither communicate with the outside world nor receive news from it. The Improvements on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern between Parkers burg and East St. Louis are being pushed rapidly. Seventeen thousand tons of eighty-flve-fiound steel rails have already been placed n the track, and there are still 25.000 tons to be received, but delivery of which has been delayed by reason of the Inability of the mills to fill their orders. The company has spread 125 miles of gravel ballast, and expects to lay soo miles more during the season. By the time winter sets in it is hoped the roadbed will equal that of any road In the West. Many grade reductions and ftralghtenlngs of line are being made between St. Louis and Cincinnati, the object being to secure a uniform 14 per cent. gTade. At one point by these Improvements the line will be shortened a mile and a half, 360 degrees of curvature eliminated and seven bridges abandoned. VITAL STATISTICS-JULY 28. Deaths.

Friday's New York stock market was strong early and traders generally ranged themselves on the long side. The shorts took alarm from Thrusday's rise and the continued upward tendency Friday morning and covered rather extensive lines. London marked up prices before the opening and bought considerable amounts In the New York market. The sentimental effect of this buying was even more pronounced than the direct demand for stocks. Th recovery In French rates In Paris had a stimulating effect, and part of London's buying of Americans was reported to be for continental account. Taken all in all, there was enough demand for stocks to run the forencon business up to within a few thousand shares of Thursday's total transactions and considerably over the total for some days of this week. Business fell off, however, very notably in the afternoon. The public showed itself chary about coming forward, and bull operators, in consequence, proceeded to take their profits on the advance. The stocks which advanced Thursday and the day before were especially affected, and In a number of cases were carried below Thursday night's level. St. Louis Southwestern, Kansab & Texas preferred. Lake Erie & Western and the trunk lines were examples. There was, nevertheless, an appreciable Increase in commission house business. This was conspicuous in the grangers, Burlington leading on account of the benefit to tne crops from rain. The coalers were notably strong on the approaching operation of a higher scale ot prices, and Lackawanna, which, in addition, enjoyed the benefit of a reported combination with New York. Chicago & St. Louis, rose an extreme four points.. Louisville was the leader of the market, considered as to the strength and activity. It closed at the top price at a net gain of 2 over Thursday. Since the dividend of 2 per cent, was taken off Thursday morning the stock has risen 3 points. Sugar was In active demand and the price went higher. Brooklyn Transit rose an extreme 14. There was a belated upward movement in some of the Southwestern stocks not heretofore affected. Denver & Rio Grande preferred, Southern Pacifist St. Louis & San Francisco second preferred and the St. Joseph & Grand Island stocks gained from one to five points. The late realizing movement carried prices down from the best and the market closed dull and easy. To-day's bank statement is expected to show another loss in cash, owing to operations with the subtreasury, though there has been a net gain on the interior movement. Sterling exchange was weak and lower on account of London buying stocks here and Increased supply of commercial bills. Bonds did not respond fully to the strength in stocks, but prices are generally higher. Total sales, J2.128.000. United States fives, registered, advanced ' in the bid price.

A Very Quiet Day In All Departments of Trade. There was not much doing yesterday on the wholesale streets. Dealers were taking matters quietly, not worrying over slack trade, but rather congratulating themselves that It was not necessary to put forth undue exertion in such sultry weather. They have enjoyed an unusually good run of business thus far through the heated term and are looking confidently toward a brisk trade when the fall season sets In. There are a few advances In staple dry goods, and prices in all lines are very firm. The grain market is dull. Receipts of wheat are at a very low figure, and there are no bids for track stuff. There were more liberal receipts of corn, but prices are unchanged. Oats are lower.

The Board of Trade markets closed strong to-day after an early spell of weakness. September wheat gained lac. corn and oats gained a shade, while provisions rose 10Q15c.

The ' Boston Commercial Bulletin will say to-morrow cf the wool market: The wool market it less active than during ths last three weeks, and. if anything, much stronger than before. The business done- Is larger than tbe average, covering; every grade of wool. Wool dealers are already under contract for all ths staple wool they can sort out for some time to come. The sales would be much larger were It not that most dealers are so busy on deliveries that they will not sell more wocl except at aa advance. The weakest point of the market Is strictly medium wooL This Is du,e to ths fact that English wools are at ths lowest point known. English and Irish wool has been selling; at 7 and 74 pence, and during the last few weeks heavy purchases have been made of Irish and Shropshire wools for the American market at a scoured cost laid down of 26 cents for the Irish, and 43 cents for Shropshire. These wools compete with native quarter and three-eighths blood) combings. All wools of finer grade are fully sustained by European markets, where the tendency is towards even higher prices. The sales of ths week are 6.180,000 pounds domestic and 437.000 pounds foreign: a total ot 6.637.000 pounds, against 10,165,000 pounds last week, and 2,825.000 pounds for the same week last year. The sales to date show an Increase of 77.524.100 pounds domestic and 14.792.400 pounds foreign from the sales to ths same date in 1898. The receipts to date show an increase of 200,842 bales domestic and 43.949 bales foreign. ST. LOUIS. July 28. Wool firm but quiet at previous quotations. Datter, Efftrs and Cheese.
