HEAVY' TONNAGE MOVING

LOADED CAR MOVE3IEXT HEAVY DEYOMD IICCOHD IX FLDRIARY, Panhandle Will Hare a Detroit Lln Why Truesdnle Selected AVestern 31en for the Lackawanna. The train records show that there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis In the week ended Feb. 17 a total of 27.137 cars, 21.523 being loaded. This is an increase over the corresponding week of of 3,735 loaded cars, over 1S93 of 337, over LS97 of 1.5, over 1S36 of 5.6.S3, over 18SJ of 3,006, and over 1S3I an Increase of 4Ä The loaded car movement Is now at lis maximum In a winter month, and has seldom been exceeded In tho fall months, when traffic is supposed to be at its greatest volume. The increase In the loaded car movement does not represent the increase in tonnage through using larger cars and exercising better methods in loading, which makes it no exaggeration to state that the Indianapolis lines combined are handling the largest tonnage of freight in their history, north-and-south roads, as well as east-and-west lines, sharing in tho gratifying exhibits. At present there is no surplus of cars or of power, every piece of rolling stock fit for freight service being fully employed, and the best feature of the situation is that the business is being carried at better paying rates than at any timo since 1832, freight men seemingly vying with each other to get business at full tariff rates. Shippers are discovering that the new 'classification. 13 not so unjust to the shipper as they had been led to believe by the allegations of some of the larger shippers. Already several of the most objectionable features of the new classification have been so modified as to be fair to both the shippers and the roads. The grain ; movement to tidewater is heavier than in January, and shipments of dressed meats, live etock and produce are heavy for February. The movement of provisions and flour for export is still lfght. In higher class freights, heavy groceries arid the like, shipments westward are unusually heavy for February, as heavy as usually in March, when such Improvement is looked for. Local traffic continues a surprise to local freight men. All platforms are loaded down from day to day, and the bulk trucks are much useu. Not only manufacturers, but merchants in nearly all lines are busy, and. notwithstanding the increased freight depot room and on the bulk tracks, the Big. Four, and Pennsylvania lines are greatly in need of more room in the way of depots and loading and unloading tracks and are now planning in that direction. The table below shows the number of loaded cars handled at this point for the week ending Feb. 17 and for the corresponding weeks of 1S03 and 1S3S: Name of Road. 1900. 1S20. 1S9S.

It is said that at the meeting of the traffic managers of tho various lines in the C. F. A. territory at Chicago last week it was decided to restore tariffs absolutely and to retire all unauthorized rates. This, It Is claimed, will put the business back on the same basis that existed prior to tho disturbance which broke out earlier in the week. A well-informed freight official was askel to explain how It is that after the presidents came out so strongly in' favor of district maintenance of rates the representatives of the lines at Chicago, Teoria, St. Louis and Kansas City did not carry out the agreement and in some manner satisfy the smaller shippers of grain and other commodities that there was no foundation for the allegations of rates being demoralized. He . said: "The loss of business sustained by .. the small shippers is not chargeable in any way to a discrimination in freight rates against them. They are being crowded out by the producers and big . shippers combined, who control the market, not by any action of the railroads, which would be able to carry their business at favorable rate. A marked change has taken place in the transporatlon system In tho last ten years which the small shippers seem unable to appreciate. They have not kept pace with the changed methods of doing business and they wrongfully place the blame on the railroads. Ten or fifteen years ago the great majority of grain producers In tho West sent their grain and produce to the big grain centers to be sold on commission at the highest price obtainable. Because of storehouses and storing it for sale to the best advantage, with Increased capital and elevators, the big firms all over the West have secured a monopoly of the business and the railroads deal with them because they have the traffic, and the small shippers must hustle to do any business at all." Tribute to Western Men. The first annual meeting of the directors of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western since William 11. Truesdale was elected president of the roa will occur to-morrow, when President Truesdale will present his vnnual report. In an interview he says: "During the past year- I have appointed many Western railroad men to positions of responsibility on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. I am a Western man, and It is natural that in selecting my staff 1 should prefer Westerners, for 1 understand their abilities and limitations and they understand me, so that complete harmony among us has been established. Western railroad men are naturally more economical operators than !a sterners. because t'iey are tralncM in a different school. Problems in management that Eastern men would solve with a check Western men nre oblged to solve by making economies. Western operators are adepts at pruning expenses and at getting the most possible out of the most meager facilities and they are Just the men to take hold of the various departments of a road like the Lackawanna. The results of the past year, I think, confirm the correctness of my Judgment." Klkhart It. It. Y. M. C. A. Samuel Clark, who has been Fecretary of the Grand Trunk Y. M. C. A. Interests at Toronto, Can., arrived at Elkhart Saturday, to assume the secretaryship of the Elkhart Railroad Y. M. C. A. He leaves a better-paying position in order to engage in the work in that city, and hopes to build up the local organization and make it one of the principal ones along the Lake Shore and New York Central lines. - The board proposes to extend all the aid in its power, and a ilourinshing revival of Interest In the organization Is anticipated. The Elkhart association is generously assisted by the Lake Shore company, and tho late Cornelius Vanderbllt annually supplemented the company's donation with a generous privat .contribution. Three New Line to Richmond. Richmond feels pretty certain of getting three railroads within another year or so. One that It is claimed is to bo, built without fall Is the Chicago. Indiana & Eastern, which is ready to begin an extension from Matthews to Mun'cle and thence to Richmond Just as soon as the weather will permit. Another U the South

ern Indiana, now being built into Terre Haute. President Walsh, of Chicago, has laid the groundwork for an extension by perfecting titles to property the company his in Richmond and getting everything of that kind In shape. It Is reported that he Intends to go on to Dayton, O. The third line Is an electric one from Dayton. O.. to Richmond. This project Is backed by Frederick Wesson, the New York millionaire, who has been Identified with railroad building in China and Porto Rico. Eaton has granted the company a franchise, and the petition for one is now pending at Richmond. Wesson says the road will be financed as soon as the preliminaries are completed. It is taken as a good indication that the company means business that they have put up a certified check for $15,000 at Eaton as a guarantee of good faith. Belt Road Traffic. In the week ended Feb. 17 there were transferred over the Belt road 18,333 cars; Belt road engines handled at the stockyards 9S7 carloads of live stock and for private switches on its line S24 cars. Personal Local and General Notes The Fort Wayne & Jackson has declared a 2i per cent, semi-annual dividend, payable March 1. Jacob Sachs, a veteran engineer on the Vandalia, on Saturday returned from a two months' rest spent in California. The Barney-Smith Car Company has declared a quarterly dividend of 2 per cent, on its preferred stock, payable March 1. "SI" Burhans on Saturday was appointed chief train dispatcher of the Lake Shore road, succeeding D. T. Murray, promoted. The Vandalia last week handled at Indianapolis 2,365 loaded cars, an Increase over the corresponding week of 1893 of 460. William H. Peters, for twenty years general agent of the Lackawanna lines at Elnora, died on Saturday of Brlghfs disease. The four Pennsylvania lines handled at this city last week 4.331 loaded cars. 530 more than in the corresponding week of im Since July 1 tho Big Four lines proper have earned J10.2S6.S77, an increase over the corresponding period of the preceding year of $1.216,113. The Hocking Valley road, in the second week in February, earned $81,976.19, an increase over the corresponding week of 1S99 of $32,073.13. . Charles McCurdy, for fifteen years a passenger conductor on tho Chicago & Eastern Illinois, has been relieved. The reason was not given. Charles E. Pugh, first vice-president of the Pennsylvania road, it Is stated, is to represent that company in the Chesapeake & Ohio directorate. Train 13, on the Panhandle, is now run between Columbus and Indianapolis via Piqua, and is very fast; one stretch of 68 miles is covered In S5 minutes. Three Class R engines on the Pittsburg division of the Panhandle have been rebuilt and will this week be placed in serv

ice on tho Indianapolis & Vincennes. Ail are freight engines. The Erie Railway Company is encouraging the building of grain elevators at way stations In Ohio and Indiana, and contracts are being made for two or three, one being at Blppus, Ind. The Vauclaln compound engines of the Baldwin type which the Baltimore & Ohio will soon receive will be splendid machines. There will be sixty of them and ten will be for passenger service. On Feb. 22 the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers within a radlu9 of two hundred miles of Kansas City will meet In Kansas City. Chief Arthur and other men of prominence in the order will be present. C. II. Haggerty, district passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines at Louisville, has been elected chairman of the Louisville passenger committee, succeeding R. S. Brown, of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. Frank J. Reed, general passenger agent of the Monon lines, on Feb. 14 visited Lafayette and appropriately observed his twenty-third anniversary as a Pythian Knight, he having been initiated at Lafayette Feb. 11. 1877. The Big Four lines proper handled at Indianapolis in tho week ending Feb. 17, 10,329 loaded cars, 1.7S0 more than In the corresponding week of 1839. The Peoria & Eastern handled at this point last week 2,133 loaded cars, 639 more than last year. The passenger department of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul has made a departure from the ordinary methods of advertising. It has just had printed and Issued for free distribution a book of trav els in Europe entitled "Glimpses Across the Sea." From the advices which come from Chi cago it appears that the agreement not to sell tickets at reduced rates for the New Orleans Mardi Gras by way of Cincinnati and Louisville has gone to pieces. The Queen & Crescent is said to be responsible for the trouble. On the new schedule the Wabash flyerNo. 9 will leave St. Louis at 2:15 p. m. and arrive at Kansas City at 9:30 p. m., covering the 277 miles in seven hours and fif teen minutes, which is very close to forty miles an hour for the entire distance, with out allowing for stops. M. K. Northam has resigned as general manager of the Dairy Dealers' Dispatch, a fast-freight line running from Chicago. The reason for the resignation is not told. The office will be abolished and the duties of it will be taken care of by E. R. Hutchlngs, the president of the line. ' Albert White, who was at one time gen eral freight agent of the Big Four, but later traffic manager of the American To bacco Company at New York, has been ap pointed traffic manager for the American Steel Hoop Company, of Pittsburg, to suc ceed T. A. Palmer, resigned. All the details for reorganizing the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City after its foreclosure sale, April 2, have been ar ranged. As the property will doubtless be bid In by the reorganization committee. apparently all litigation has been defeated that can Interfere with Its sale. The work on the double track system of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago is progressing rapidly, and before long is ex pected to be completed. There remains only about one hundred miles of track to be laid, which will give a double track road from Pittsburg to Chicago. In regard to tho rumor that the Missouri Pacific has private arrangements for pay Ing commissions. Colonel II. C. Townsend. -general passenger agent, says "tne agree ment entered Into by the executive officers at New York city will be observed by the Missouri Pacific to the fullest extent, both In spirit as well as the letter. To shorten the connections with Boston und New York the Grand Trunk has ac quired the East Richelieu Valley road, twenty-three miles long and running between Iberville and Noyen, south of Montreal. Tho value of the acquisition of this property will be better understood when it is stated that its operation by the Grand Trunk will shorten the Grand Trunk connections with Boston and New Yorkmaking it the shortest route to Boston by twenty-lx miles and the shortest to New York by sixteen miles. The double tracking that has been under way on the Erie near Gallon and Kent Is about completed, and trains will soon be running over it. This, as is well known. Is the first step toward the general improvement that Is now under way on the Erie. The intention is to either eventually cut down the grades or go around tho hills so as to avoid the high grades on the division between Kent and Gallon. The double tracking of the road and the grades for the first few miles near each of the two cities was the first step. The roads interested in the interterritorial agreement concerning passenger tickets have made a few alterations In the orig inal ruling. It was the original decision that all free tickets with parties of -ten or more should be cut out, no one being al lowed the privilege. The new rules regarding interterritorial business have Just been isüued. They show that the rules of one association which originates the bus! ness shall prevail in the territory to which the passenger is traveling. Aside from this there has been a rule made that with all parties of ten or more, to which this legis lation especially refers, one free ticket may be given. CITY NEWS NOTES. Mr. J. H.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

A LARGE: CLASS IS INITIATED INTO TUB ORGANIZATION. Two Secret Session Are Held with" a Banquet Between Address by Father McCabe. Indianapolis Council, No. 437, Knights of Columbus, initiated a large class yesterday morning and evening in two secret sessions which were attended by about 300 visitors from Terre Haute,' Lafayette, Fort Wayne, Louisville, New York, Toledo. Detroit, Evansvile, Cincinnati and Logansport. The first two degrees were worked by P. L. McArdle, assisted by the Chicago councils, during the morning, while in the afternoon John W. Ward, of New York, assisted by Francis T. Ross, conferred the third de gree. Between the two sessions a banquet was served in the main dining room of the Denison, and at the conclusion of the evening's work a smoker was given to the visitors and new members by the Indianapolis Council. It had been intended to have three toasts during the banquet, but owing to the lack of time only one was responded to. It was "The American Catholic," by Rev. Denis McCafce, pastor of Holy Cross Church, of this city. He said in part: "The Catholic American. I never wrote a dictionary and I know little about the use of synonyms, but I wish to say that Catholic citizenship and American citizenship are one and the same thing. There is no distinction between them. They are united, never to be divided. Before this gathering of the flower of many cities I do not want to be misunderstood, but take away from American history the names of those Catholic Americans who now shine on the pages of the Nation's story and what remains? Upon tho American citizenship depends the destinies of the whole world. "American soldiers are patriots, and it is upon their achievements that the destinies of the whole world depend. We may be expansionists or antl-lmperlallsts, but we should never forget that we are American citizens. There was a grandeur in the remark made by St. -Paul when he said, I am a Roman citizen.' but if St. Paul were here to-night he would say with more majesty than on that occasion, I am an American citizen. There is no p ouder title outside that of 'child of God' than that of American citizen.' Our doctrine is that the heart that does not love Its country is too cold to dwell with God. Our church and our country are entwined together in our heart. They are married and there is no distinction between the love we owe one and the other. I speak not to the gallery gods. I address myself to your Intelligence. Upon the Catholic of to-day depends the future of the Nation. "We are here by ourselves, and what Is to be gained by mincing matters? After all, what Is It that appeals to the conScience? It is the church and Its Influences. A politician once said the church was the thing that enabled those in control of the government to keep the laws unbroken and maintain. the respect due to the Nation. J make no reference to the Irish Cathollfc, the German Catholic nor any other Catholic ecept the real American Catholic who Is willing to do anything to further the interests of his country and his church." Speeches which were to have been made by W. T; Mooney, of Cleveland, O., on "Our Country" and Edward J. McDermott, of Louisville, on "Higher Education" were delivered at the smoker in the hall last night. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The Second Anniversary of Frances ... . ' AVillard's Death Is Commemorated. Services In commemoration of the second anniversary of Frances Willard's death were held at Broadway M. E. Church last night by the Marion county W. C. T. U. Mrs. M. L. Gipe was In charge of the exercises, which were opened by scriptural reading and prayer .by Mrs. E. G. Cornelius". Among the musical selections given was the hymn "Gently Lord, Oh, Gently Lead Us," the words of which Miss Willard always loved, it was announced. Mrs. Glpe said that Miss Wlllard died two years ago Saturday. "We are celebrating her heavenly birthday," she said. Mrs. Mary E. Balch spoke of Miss Willard's success as an organizer. The speaker said she was a . woman of strong convictions. One of her convictions was that the government was guilty of complicity in the rum business. She understood that the laws protected the saloon, and she wanted the homes protected. Mrs. Balch declared that alcohol is king in the politics of the Nation. She said it was these strong convictions of Frances Willard that made her the organizer that she was. Rev. V. W. Tevls, pastor of Broadway M. E. Church, talked of Miss Willard's public life, referring to her earlier education and her subsequent work for the cause of temperance. She began this work in Chicago with the crusade movement. The pastor told of her work In organizing the W. C. T. U. in the United States and of her going to Europe, where, with Lady Somerset and others, she organized the W. C. T. U. of the World. Mr. Tevls said that Miss Wlllard knew how to handle women She quieted conflicting elements among them. Her death was serene and peaceful. The pastor recalled that the last words that fell Irom Miss Willard's lips were. "How beautiful to be with God." Following Mr. Tevis's remarks Mrs. Charles Ford sang a solo. "If I Were a Voice." Sirs. Olpe said she had been asked to talk of the home life of Frances Wlllard. It was a devout home that Miss Willard was born in. It was an Ideal home, Mrs. Glpe said, and Frances Willard had an Ideal mother. Iii referring to the Influence of a mother on her children the speaker asserted: "If there is anything this Nation needs it Is a high and holy standard of motherhood." Mrs. Olpe declared that wherever duty called Frances Wlllard and her mother they never stopped to Question their own personal sacrifices. Miss Willard, the speaker said, had the faculty from childhood of being selfconfident without having elf-conceit. This was one of the causes of her great success In her life's work. Mrs. Dr. Curryer read a poem which was written by Mrs. Catherine Lent Stevenson and dedicated to the memory of Frances Willard. . . ... THE COURT RECORD, SUPERIOR COURT. Room 1 John L. McMaster.

A TALK ON WASHINGTON REV. II. B. LONG LECTURES AT THE PEOPLE'S CONGREGATIONAL. Some Characteristics of the Great Man Are Described A High Tribute to the First President. Rev. H. B. Long, of the People's Congregational Church, at Blackford and Michigan streets, delivered a lecture last night on "Washington." He said in part: "Washington was great because he stood for so much to mankind and to his country. Too frequently biographers have sculptured him in the marble of Pentellcus grave, impressive, without blemish or flaw. Their Washington does not laugh or play. Placed oh a high pedestal as an object of reverence, like Milton's Abdiel, he shows us how awful goodness is. While we cannot know too much of the hero, we may know too little of the roan." Mr. Long gave a portrait of Washington as a man his purely human passions, emotions and remarkable individualities. He spoke of the spirit of Washington and of his trusting the great truth of human freedom. "In the mighty task to which he had been chosen," said he, "he revealed the power to do by thought what else can be done by brawn. He incarnated the theory that the glory of God and the glory of man are eternally one. He was himself all he wished to make the Republic The map of America was graven on his soul, and there were no sections nothing but the Nation made of sovereign people. He made the colonies a divine harp, whose head was Massachusetts, whoso base was Georgia. and whose circle was the States between, and. tuning all the chords of Immortal men Hamilton and Franklin, Jefferson and Adams Washington, the master musician, touched them all into harmonious music of the Union, and to that sacred strain every loyal American has and ever will keep step. The victory of the revolution was grand because it was the victory of what was noblest In human nature. "Washington's many and high virtues made him like the lyre of the son of Archlmbratus; its sweet sound kindled the sacred flame of freedom in the. osom of our fathers, cheered their sages . and led their brave soldiers to glory on the field. He, with Abraham Lincoln, glorified common duties. If men would see the fruits of their deeds In the world of civic duties they should saturate themselves through and through with tho spirit of Washington, and no less to accept his example of cour-' age, pressing toward some lofty and worthy goal." He said Washington's character was an unusual one, because in it the soldier could find his ideal general, tho citizen could find his ideal of broad patriotism, and the statesman his ideal legislator and the founder of the new system of civic rule. Continuing he ald: "Sixty years ago. Feb. 22, 1840, Abraham Lincoln, in Springfield, 111., delivered an anniversary address. He is recorded as saying: 'To-day eulogy Is expected of Washington. No words of mine can adequately eulogize. To add brightness to the sun or glory to his name are aliKe Impossible. Let none attempt it. Let all in solemn awe pronounce that name, and in its deathless splendor leave it shining on. " IRON HALL FAILURE. District Attorney A. W. Wlshard Expresses His Opinion of It. "If the true facts in the Iron Hall failure ever become public." said District Attorney A. W. Wishard at the Denison last night, "It will prove that the whole affair was one of the greatest Judicial farces the country has ever known. I am convinced that there was absolute honesty In the conduct of Its affairs by Mr, Somerby, and were it to be reorganized to-morrow I would put money into It. "It was one of the greatest orders the country ever knew and had it been allowed to go ahead as any other concern would have been, it would be nlive to-day, stronger than ever. Mr. Somerby never received credit for half the good he did. He staved off a panic in the banks of this city in the eighties by transferring a million dollars from Philadelphia to the banks of Indianapolis. I know something of the conditions of the founding and failure of the order and I am sure none of the officers received a dollar to which he was not entitled. Other causes brought about Its ruin and it is probable that &00.000 of its funds were lost through tho charges of the receivership, lSastern litigation, court costs at home, attorneys fees and the discount on securities which had to ba turned intocash at. short notice. The popular Irapression that the officers were dishonest and that the order intended to fleece the public was not borne out by an investigation that I know something of." . PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. William E. English will not observe her usual day at home to-day. Mrs. F. M. Ingler left Saturday to spend a week with her friends in Bloomlngton, lnd. Mr. and Mrs. Dayton Brown, of 1128 Woodlawn avenue, observed their twentieth wedding anniversary yesterday, from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. From thirty-five to forty friends were present. Numerous gifts were presented. Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
