VANDERBILT INTENTIONS

III MORS AFFi:CTI(i LAKE EHIF. WESTEIIX AND HOCKING VALLEV. rarlfic Const Lines Will Shorten Schedule Trolley Linea Not Serious!) Felt by Steam Roads. Interesting rumors are again afloat regarding the Lake Erie & Western and the Big Four, both Vanderbllt Interest, and the unusual activity and strength shown in these stocks Is regarded as indicating pending changes. The. Lake Erie & Western is just now the center of much Interest. Since the Vanderbilts bought this property and turned t over to the Lako Shore there have been reports that an important readjustment of its securities Is to be made. As now current, the report is that the preferred stock of the Lake Erie & Western Is to be exchanged for 4 per cent, bonds either of that company or of the Lake Shore; such an arrangement, it Is asserted, would enhance the value of the common stock of the Lake Erie & Western. Under present conditions the preferred stock of this company is entitled to 6 per cent, dividend out of the earnings before the common stock gets anything. Another rumor Is that the Big Four Is about to acquire control of the Hocking Valley, notwithstanding the fact that President Ingalls. who was in New York last week, positively denied that there were any Big Four deals pending. Wallstreet rumors, however. Insist that the Vanderbilts are going to get control of the Hocking valley as a matter of selfprotection, and on taking control of it will make It part of the Big Four system. FIg-htlnja; the Scalpers. Wall-street Journal. If the abandonment of deals with ticket brokers and a vigorous prosecution of all persons who forge railway transportation will help to increase passenger earnings of the railroads of this country, then receipts during the next year ought to be largely In excess of those for the past year. At the convention of the General Passenger end Ticket Agents' Association of America, at Buffalo, it was agreed that a more vigorous campaign against all manipulators of railroad transportation should be Instituted as Quickly as possible. To this end It was agreed that the chairmen of the seven passenger associations of the United States New England, Trunk Line, Southeastern, Central, Western and Transcontinental should compose a committee to form a plan for establishing a protective bureau, the object of which will be to disseminate information regarding forgeries of tickets and a securing of evidence for legal prosecution of the guilty ones. The passenger men are more in earnest than they ever have been. Since they abolished the payment of commissions for the sale of tickets they have been independent of brokers and are now In a position to right them without fear or favor. Hereafter the General Passenger Agents' Association will be out for work and not for play. At this session it was agreed to enlarge the scope of the organization materially and a committee was appointed to carry on the work of the Association between conventions. Personal, Local and General Xotea. It Is stated that the plan of reorganization of the Chicago & Alton will be issued on Thursday. The Haskell-Barker car works, of Michigan City, is now building cars for the Norfolk & Western on an order for several hundred. The Big Four Mutual Benefit Association will hold Its annual meeting in this city to-morrow evening in the Board of Trade Hall. Otto IL Kuhn, of Kuhn. Loch & Co., has been elected a votins trustee of the Baltimore &. Ohio, to succeed the late Abraham Wolff. George Gould says he knows nothing about the reported traffic alliance between the Missouri Pacific, the Kansas City Southern and the Chicago & Alton. The Roachdale express, on the Indiana. Decatur & Western, yesterday made th run from Roachdale to the Union Station, thirty-eight miles, in forty minutes. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has closed a negotiation for the purchase of tho Milwaukee & Superior Railroad, running from Granville to North Lake. Victor Cooper, who has had charge of the yards of the Lackawanna road in New York, has been appointed superintendent ol terminals of the company at Buffalo. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four, J. Layng. rirst vice president, and General Manager Schaff will, on Wednesday, meet in Cleveland to begirt an Inspection of the lines. Col. William Shaw, district passenger cgent ot the Chicago. Burlington & Quincv. was In the city yesterday, after having teen confined to the house three weeks, the result of a fall. The Panhandle is now delivering forty miles of new eighty-ilve-pound steel rails between Columbus and Cincinnati. With these in the track the whole division will be laid with new rails. S. M. Stevenson has been appointed assistant to the general Kastern agent of the Cumberland Gap Dispatch, the Norfolk & Western Dispatch, and the Virginia. Tennessee & Georgia Air-line. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four lines, left last evening; for Boston to attend the American Railway Association time card meeting, to bu held in that city on Wednesday and Thursday. Report has it that a contract has been made between the St. Louis & Southwestern and the St. Ixuis, Iron Mountain & Southern by which the former is to stcure entrance Into St. Louis over the Iron Mountain track. Third Vico President Barr, of the Santa Fe. was at Topeka on Saturday and had a meeting with the grievance committee cf the liremcn, discussing at some length some differences that the tiremen wanted adjusted, which will doubtless be granted. Tho Panhandle is now using the double track between Columbus and Hayden, giving sixteen miles of double track on the Indianapolis division west from Columbus, and long sidings and passing tracks put in this year practically give considerable additional double track. It is stated that the Baltimore & Ohio will double-track the entire Pittsburg & Western, which came under its control last week. The old light locomotlws are to be repaired and sold and powerful locomotives placed in service as soon as track conditions will admit of the heavier equipment. Freight officials of the trunk lines are looking for a large Increase in shipments of corn after Nov. 1, when the higher rates take effect, and shippers feel that tho question of rates is settled until the opening of lake navigation next spring. The grain market on new corn, is already adJusting itself to the advance In rates in prospect. In well-settled parts of the country investigation shows that the introduction of the trolley roads has not as seriously disturbed the business of steam roads as was predicted. Analysis of official reports shows that while a trolley relieves the steam roads of some local travel, it adds to the growth of cities and towns and largely increases the freight traffic. F. M. Whlfaker. traffic manager of the Chesapeake & Ohio. A. G. Troup, general Eastern agent at New York city, and Thornton Lewis, general manager of th Kanawa Dispatch, were In the city yesterday en route to Chicago. The Chesapeake &. Ohio is lnow handling the largest coal traffic in its history, it reaching 1.200 to 1,3 carloads- per day to tidewater and westward. The roads centering In Buffalo will appoint a Joint agent with Jurisdiction over cullvery of shipments of freight at thy Pan-American grounds. The duties of the Joint agent will be the receiving, delivery, receipting, etc., of all articles brousht there lor exhibition. It Is further announced that shipments to the Pan-American oxivosltlon will be carried for one-half rat, providing the goods are returned within a certain limit. An official of the Vanderbllt lines, who was in the city yesterday, stated that the coal strikes had not affected freight traffic on their lines, and at the present time their tonnage is simply enormous and is fast making up for the dullness which prevailed in the summer months. The road 1 handling considerable grain as well us live stock, fruit and vegetables, and in

the way of general merchandls moving in all directions the tonnage Is almost beyond precedent. A change of rules has been adopted by the Southwestern Passenger Bureau, which is expected to contribute largely to securing a strict maintenance of rates throughout that territory. A committee has been appointed whose duty will be to inquire into all charges of rate-cutting made against any of the members, and this committee has been given power to assess fines up to 51,0j0 against any member found guilty of having any deal, direct or Indirect, with ticket brokers. Within the last few days six passenger conductors on the Big Four have been notified by the auditor of the lines that their services were no longer needed. One was dropped on the Bee-line division, one on the Chicago division, one on the St. Louis division, one on the Sandusky division, one on the Cairo division and a sixth on the Peoria & Eastern, operated by the Big Four. Three of the number were among the oldest of passenger conductors in time of service on the Big Four lines. On Sunday next, on several of the roads west cf the, Missouri river, time schedules are to be shortened. Changes are expected to take place on the Chicago, Burlington Sc. Qulncy, the Chicago & Rock Island, and the Union Pacinc. it Is said that because cf. the new cut-offs on the Union Pacific in the West, reductions of grades, and htralghtenlng of curves, that road can cut off two hours between Omaha and Ogden without increasing its running time in Nebraska. All three of the roads named have spent large sums of money during the past year in Improving the condition of their main lines west of tho river. The i f suit is that cither can arrange a schedule of forty miles an hour and maintain it with a heavy train easier than they could a few years ago thirty miles an hour with a light train. George H. Heafford, who will, on Nov. 15, retire as general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, has issued a circular to his railroad friends, in which he remarks among other things: "With yourself and others I have been a laborer In the railway field many years. Whatever fame and fortune has come to me as general passenger agent has not fully satisfied my ambition or bulged my purse. Perhaps if I had not always belonged to an ornamental branch of the railway service I might have become a general manager or president, with a consequential income. However, I envy no man his good luck." Then, dropping metaphor, as he says, and "getting down to bear'H tracks," he informs them that ho has formed a partnership with his son-in-law in the fire insurance business.

NO LIGHT FOR PUBLIC REPORTERS XOT ADMITTED TO THE COXFEIIEXCE. Councilman Moriarity ."Among the MisMinK' The II00L Nut Examined. In spite of the fact that Chairman Keller, of the special committee of the Council now examining the Consumers' Gas Trust books, invited newspaper representatives to be present at the meeting of the committee and directors of tho gas company, last night, the newspaper men were not even allowed in the building, let alone in the office where the conference was held. Members of the committee have claimed the business of the gas company would be probed to the bottom, and the public should be given all the facts, but on the first night the gas company directors saw lit to exclude reporters. The committee met at the city clerk's office, and then went to the gas company's o3icc. Councilman Moriarity, who introduced the resolution, had other business to attend to, and was not present. When the committee entered the. gas company office, the reporters, present were asked to withdraw. Later an attempt was made to eek information, and Secretary Lyman, of the company, said it was the desire of those present that the men "be left alone." Members of the councilmanlc committees said, after the meeting, that they had made no such request, but as they were Invited there by the directors, they could not ask the reporters to be present. One of the members of the committee said, after the meeting, that the directors wanted to know just what the committee desired. The communication se-t to the directors several days ago, seating out the request of the committee, was gone over again, and. it is said, the directors agreed to allow the committee to examine the books of the company, but no books were shown last night, the directors saying they could not unWk the eafe. A statement was made to the committee, which was not for publication. Members of the committee said they would not give it to the papers, and Secretary Lyman refused to make known Its contents. One of the members of the committee said the statement was a "rough" estimate of the company's financial condition. When asked if 'he statement showed that the company was able to liquidate all Its stock, the committeemen said the company would use the money it had to buy new leases instead , of paying the stockholders. It Is said the committee is planning a trip to the gas field. Supplie Xccdei! at Once. Chairman Munro. of the special Council committee that inspected the City Hospital last week, received a list of supplies needed from Superintendent Spencer, of the hospital, yesterday. Dr. Spencer estimates the cost of the articles needed at once at $1.131.45, and the committee may ask the city controller to recommend an ordinance appropriating the money to purchase the. supplies. The list Includes the following estimates; Thirty bolts of sheeting. $27lt; four bolts of pillow rasing. S20: ten bolts of toweling, i0; six bolts of muslin, P); forty-eight pairs of blankets. J20: forty mattresses, Ü60; eleven dozen bed spreads, $140; four dozen dimity bedspreads. 512; fortyeight yards of rubber sheeting. 6: eighteen bed springs. S27. The estimates also include minor supplies. HOARD OF WORKS ROI TIXE. ASSESSMENT ROLL APPROVED. For a local sewer in the first alley north of thirteenth street, from Brooks street to West street.

Governor Moont Set Apart rt liny In n Proclamation. Governor Mount yesterday issued the following proclamation with reference to Arbor and Bird day In the State of Indiana: "In accordance with a custom which represents elements practical as well as useful. I hereby designate and set apart Friday. Oct. 26, as Arbor and Bird day. 'It is earnestly recommended that the trustees of the various state institutions, faculties and students of colleges, superintendents and teachers of the public schools, as well as the people of the State generally, take immediate action for the proper observance of the day by the planting of trees, shrubs and vines and the study of the best methods for the protection of birds. The planting of trees in public school grounds Is especially recommended, and homes should receive the same consideration. The result will bo to add to the beauty of surroundings and confer a blessing upon succeeding generations. "The protection, of birds should likewise receive earnest consideration and teachers are requested to impress upon pupils the importance of preserving our native songsters. "If these recommendations are generally carried out in the proper spirit, much will have been accomplished to the pleasure and profit of the people."

BY ADVERSE POSSESSION

PLEAS 91 AD 12 BY THE 'nEFEXUAXTS IX TWO COURT CASES. The Title to Property Involved In the Suits Damage Suits) Filed Other Court Cases. There were two suits in the Superior courts yesterday, one for possession of property and the other to quiet title, in each of which the defendant's plea for right to hold the property involved was that of adverse possession. One case was in Judge Carter's court and the other in Judge McMaster s court. Both cases could have been adjusted without the mediation of the courts and bear out the maxim that "Great oaks from little acorns grow." The suit in Judge Carter's court was brought by Emil C. Rassmann against John Cook and others, for possession of property on North street, just west of Blake street. The defendants are the heirs of Cynthia Ann Johnson, who. they assert, gained a title to the property through adverse possession, she having liv?d there for thirty-two years, while the limit of the law Is but twenty years to give a title. Rassmann Is administrator of the estate of William Johnson. He asserts that William Johnson was the owner of the property, and that he let Cynthia Ann Johnson, his sister-in-law, live in the house without paying rent. She died several years ago, and the heirs continued to hold possession. Rassmann secured the title to the property some time ago, but the defendants have refused to give It up, hence the present suit. He says they entered no claim against the property until after he had secured the title. In defining the status of this case Robert Scott, clerk in Judge Carter's court, has termed it "possession of property under adverse circumstances." This construction has been generally accepted by the attorneys. The suit in Judge McMaster's court is that of Mamie Madden against Andrew and Augusta Souers to quiet title. Tho fruit is the result of complications that frequently arise oVer a comparison of oil and new surveys. The property is on Louisiana street, between Virginia avenue and East street. Mamie Madden alleges that Souers's house Is built several inches over her property line. Part of the defense H that the bottom of the foundation has been in its present position since 1S52 and the defendants have a right to the infringement, if there be any, because the house has stood on the alleged encroachment lor more than twenty years. According to the old survey, it is said the property is not out of line, but upon a recent survey it has been found to lap over th. Madden property, as alleged in the complaint. This is also another case that has developed the fact that there is a lapping over of property all along the line, and the property on Louisiana street, in this vicinity, is said to be similarly affected. TWO DAMAGE SUITS. Minnie Allen and Raymond C. Harris Sue the Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company was made defendant in two damage suits yesterday. Minnie Allen brought suit against the company for $10,000 damages. She alleges that she and her husband, George B. Allen on Oct. 11 purchased tickets to SwiU City. She says she had been in this city to take treatment for ill health and was returning home, still In a feeble condition. After boarding the train, she says, her husband went into the smoking car with a friend. When the conductor came to collec; tickets, it Is alleged. Allen gave him the ticket for his own passage' and also that for his wife, describing her to the conductor and telling him where hu was. sitting In the rear coach. Mrs. Allen avers that when the conductor came to her he demanded her ticket, and when she said her husband had given him the ticket he denied it. At West Newton, she says, the train was stopped and she was put off, althougn she asked the conductor to look for her husband and offered to pay him the fare when she reached home and couid see friends, who would be at the station. Notwithstanding this, she says, she was ejected, the conductor denying that he had any tickets for Switz City, and as a result she suffered an attack of nervous prostration. The other tuit was that of Raymond C. Harris, who demands $3,000. and It was similar to that of Mrs. Allen's. He avers; that on Aug. 27 he bought a round-trip ticket to Kokomo. At Kokomo, the night after he had purchased the ticket, he says, he boarded a train at 2 a. m. to come home, and the conductor refused to accept the return check for his passage. He says the train was stopped and the conductor forcibly ejected him, although he said he was willing to pay cash fare rather than be put off. After he was put off. he says, the conductor allowed him to get on again upon the payment of a cash fare to Indianapolis. He further alleges that the conductor made Insulting remarks when the Journey was continued, and that, he was greatly humiliated. OXE DAY IX POLICE COURT. Conflicting Störtest Abont a Saloon Fight-Other Ca neu. In Police Court yesterday Jordan Walker, colored, who assaulted . his wifo with ;i hatchet, was fined $20 and sent to the workhouse for ninety days.. Lon Good, for insulting persons on tho Ktreet and resisting arrest, was sent to the workhouse on fines and costs amounting to $03, with thirty days Imprisonment added. James Chandler, charged with grand larceny, waived examination and was held io the grand jury. Fratik Small was fined $10 and costs fof keeping a gambling house at 212 North Pennsylvania street. Five of the boys arrested at the time for participation in the games were each fined S3 and costs. Adjournment of court was not takeiv until nearly 6 o'clock last evening. The completion of the trials of Jack Gullen, Jack Cuddy, Charles Haynes. Fred Metzhelzer nnd others for engaging in a free-for-all fight In the Star saloon at 131 West Market street. Saturday night, was carried over until this morning. Metzhelzer appeared In the court with his head well bandaged. There was much difficulty In learning the facts as to the tight, every witness encitavorlng to tell as little as possible in order to shield himself and those to whom ho was friendly. So contradictory were tho statements that Judge Daly was undecided as to whether any of the witnesses had told the truth. TRACK E LEV ATI OX SUIT. Judge Carter Announces thnt There W ill Re an Early Hearing. Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, announced yesterday that he expects lo set an early date for hearing argument in the track elevation suit. Since the serious accident at Thirteenth street Friday night there has been much inquiry abou the status of the suit. The time for the elevation of tracks to begin expired the first of last April, and after a long delay City Attorney Kern brought suit to enforce the ordinance. An alternative writ of mandate was issued by Judge Carter, and a demurrer was immediately filed. Sineu then nothing has been done in the case, as the city has shown no disposition to push the matter and the railroads are seeking delay. - A X T I-D I VO R C E C It USAD E. Jndge Leathern Will Also Try to Curb the Habit. Judge Leathers, of Superior Court, Room 2, said yesterday that he would also adopt the rule of not having a record of divorce suits made out for publication. He said the judges of the Superior Court are trying to discourage divorce suits, and he believes that less publicity will have a tendency to abate the rush of men and women, with domestic troubles. Into the courts. The judge is now considering the adoption of a rule which he thinks will go a long vay toward diminishing the number of suits. In cases of default he will have a subpoena Issued for tho defendant. With both parties in court, Judge Leathers says all tho facts in the case can be brought

cut and he will be better able to decide when a divorce is really necessary. It is a common custom for the defendant lo agree to not appear against the plaintiff, and frequently compromise is effected between the parties as to the payment of costs, in order that the divorce may bo granted with expedition. The rule Judge Leathers thinks of adopting will abolish this practice. LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The Suit to Dissolve It Is Xovr Dein? Heard. The suit of Prosecuting Attorney Pugh against the Indianapolis Live Stock Exchange to dissolve the association, began in Judge Allen's Court yesterday. The case promises to be a long-drawn-out battle between the attorneys and the sparring yesterday, in which objections to evidence was entered upon every possible pretext, indicates a hot fight. It Is alleged that the real purpose of the association Is to prevent competition and to maintain a monopoly in selling live stock on commission and to hold up the rates. It is alleged that some men not in the association were driven out of business by the methods of the exchange. The nor Londly Screamed. The screams of Leo De Lisle, ten years old, as he was being taken from the Criminal Court room yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff Charles Koerner, brought most of the clerks and others in the building to the corridors to see what was the matter. The boy had just been sentenced to the Reform School by Judge Alford because he was Incorrigible. The boy was pleading lor one more trial, and following the two, came the boy's mother, also pleading for another audience with the judge In an effort to save her son from the Reform School, and also trying to quiet him. Koerner had led the boy downstairs, and was In the hallway. When the boy's mother came closer, he turned and. pushing her back, gruffiy told her to let him alone. The spectators were very indignant at this and strong remarks condemning Koerner's action were made by many who saw it. The Willi Vajen Estate. Anna Claypool Vajen was yesterday appointed administratrix of the estate of Willis Vajen, and gave a bond of $25,000. The estate Is worth between $40,000 and $50.000 as nearly as can now be determined. Mrs. Vajen was also appointed guardian of Edward Claypool Vajen and gave a bond of $20,000. Cnssnnda Johnson Salt. s Cassanda Johnson brought suit against the street car company yesterday for $3,000 damages. She alleges that she was thrown to the pavement by a car starting too soon when she was alighting and suffered injuries from which she has not recovered. THE COURT RECORD. SUPERIOR COURT.

Parker was run over by a mall wagen Saturday, L. A. Nagelrisen. a member of the firm which has the contract for transferring the mails between the postoffice and the Union Station, said last night that he felt that the accounts in the newspapers did him an injustice. He said: "On the occasion when Mr. Parker was Injured the wagon was loaded with more than 3,000 pounds of mail, and I know from personal observation that the horse was going but little faster than a walk. Mr. Parker saw the wagon coming and waved to the driver to stop. He endeavored to do so. but th wagon was so heavy that it pushed the load right up on to the horse and the horse could not hold It back." Mr. Nageleisen also declared that the statement of the postofiice officials made to the Journal that more time had been allowed to reach the trains on that particular trip was untrue, as the driver had even less time than usual. The Talking: Bird. A rumor came out of the busy West A wonderful tumor, with long account. Of a talking bird with a silver crest. And a curious Infant called "Paramount." This talking-bird stood on his sharpened claws, And over the land took a long survey; "I think now, lie burbled, 'tis best for my eausf That I should get up and skedaddle to-day." He tilted his toes, and slanted his head. Shut up his bill with a venomous snap; F.xrandftd his wings with Imperial spreadWas off. as if shot from the devil's own trap. Straight was hla flight towards a Tammany camp: The paramount infant lay under his wing. Though trolleyed along by a Populist tramp, He thought of that other hook fast to his string. A hook to catch gudgeons a part of the game With bait all alluring a "sixteen to one;" And bringing disgrace on an old party's name, Was nothing but fun. to this son of a gun! Then up went the fireworks, sparkling with liesBright verbal rockets sped swift from his tongue. "You see," they all warbled, 'tis clever and wis To have a dictator, both shifty and young." Lonr had h coveted places and spoils. Sounding a tocsin of worry and woe; In the arms of a three-headed monster he coils To feast in November on cannibal crow. Hurrah! for the three-cornered party and plank; Rah for the dad of the paramount brat! And here's to the blrdllng. half parrot half bleats through a, bole in the candidate's hatl T. W.
