SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION

I'OIt i:i)ICATIü RAILROAD MLX I. lim: of tiii:ih wohk. The I.nke Erle t Wen tern Comlntr to the I'ront-Tlic Reincsts f Ticket Acent to lie Con aide red. A Western Idea In railroading looking toward greater safety for passengers and more efficient service la attracting general attention In the railroad world. It has rxen briefly alluded to heretofore in the Journal. It consists of a school of Instruction for 1 employes, made up of classes among men engaged In the same kind ot work. The train dispatchers and telegraph operators est together at one time, the men in the interlocking tower signal service at another, and the switchmen at still another. At each session each clas3 discusses questions arising In their line of work. The system, which was first introduced on Western roads, has been such a decided success that it la gradually being introduced in the East. W. A. Oarett, formerly on the Chicago division of the Wabash, now superintendent of the New York division of the Philadelphia & Heading, has Inaugurated the system among emploj-es on that division. The plan is to call the different employes together and discuss the details of the work in their branch of the service, talk over methods of work, defects and their remedle?, and listen to suggestions as to improved methods to increase the efficiency of the service and the safety of the property and persons and of the patrons of the road. Mr. Garett has been but a few months in his present position. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has a system of instruc tion similar to that which Mr. Garrett has placed in operation on the Philadelphia & Reading, and the Pennsylvania Company has the men in the different departments meet In much th? same manner and for similar purpose ,'ery three months, at Pittsburg or Columbus. The Hig Four has monthly meetings of the heads of the departments, but does not go into the matter as thoroughly as do the lines first named. IllK Four Insurance Association. The delegates and members of the Cleveand, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Rail way Mutual Insurance Association last evening held their thirty-first annual meetng. Members from Cleveland, Gallon, Columbus, Springfield, Cincinnati, St. Louis and a number of other points were In at tendance. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four lines and president of the association, being In Bos ton to attend a time card meeting of the trunk line and Central Traffic Association lines, sent a letter to the secretary to be read before the association, setting out what he would have said if present. After expressing regrets that he could not be present he said: "I regard these meetings of great im portance from year to year, as the association Is getting older and there are a number of members whom we cannot reasonably expect to have with us much longer, and the association should be kept strong ior their protection, as they have been loyal to the cause and deserve our best efforts. I am very sorry indeed to be forced to report to you from year to year that the association is not receiving the support and encouragement it deserves. The average employe has been fully employed for the last two or three years, but the association has enjoyed no benefit from the general prosperous condition. In my last an nual address I called your attention to the decrease in membership and urged you to make an Individual effort to secure new members. It is evident you did not respond to my appeal, as there has been a decreaso of thirty-four members during the year Just closed, notwithstanding 1 have made repeated efforts by special agents to secure new members. Since our last meeting the association has paid In benefits 2,0; since its organization fö42.5ttM3. If the average employe could be made to understand the great good the association has done, that it is not operated for prollt. and that the railway company has nothing to do with It except to encourage it by a donation every year that practically pays all the expenses I believe they would be come members, and I hope every member will give the association th assistance it deserves in the future. I thank you for your confidence and assistance.' In the absence of J. Q. Van Winkle. W. II. Fisher, vice president, acted as chairman of the meeting, which was the largest attended of any annual meeting in some years. Alter the reading or the reports of the secretary and treasurer considerable time was occupied in considering the ques tion as to what can be done to Increase the interest and membership of the asso ciation. The vice president announced that M. E. Ingalis, president of the Big Four, had contributed the usual S750 in aid of the organization. It was decided that there could be no Improvement In the official roster of the association, consequently J. Q. Van Winkle was elected president, W. H. Fisher vlc president. T. J. lllgKins treasurer and M. C. Horton general secretary. In the different committees some slight changes were made. Among those present were a number or men who had been In the service of the Ilig Four and Its imme diate predecessors since the fifties. Personal, Local anil General Xotes. This week ten new coaches of the most modern design were sent to Western lines irom the Allegheny shops of the Pennsylvania. A. M. Schoyer, of the Tittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, Is attending a meeting or the American Railway Association at IJoston. Mass. On Nov. 1 IT. K. Bixby, who represents the Vandalla at Dallas, Tex., will go to Cleveland, and Mr. Kllore, who represents the company there, will succeed Mr. Bixby at Dallas. The Baltimore & Ohio Is claiming its differential privileges on the low rates to the Chicago horfe show next week, and it has created some opposition on the part of competitors. John Brunton. chaplain of the Denver & Rio Grande, who was in the city yesterday to ottend tne Big Four Mutual Insurance Association meeting, will go to Bellefontalne to spend Sunday. John P. Miller, general superintendent of the Panhandle Southwestern system. Is in Pittsburg attending a meeting of the advisory board of the relief department of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. It Is stated officially that the Pennsylvania and the Vandalla lines will, during the fall and winter, continue to run the present number of through trains between St. Louis and Xew York, including the fast mail, five trains er.ch way dally. lTrident Burt, of the Toledo & Ann Arbor, states that the net revenue of the year ending June 3 would have been greater by $1..000 if the management had been nbie to buy supplies and employ labor at the same rates of previous years. The passenger car department and the machine shops of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago at Fort Wayne began on Monday working on a twelve-hour schedule, and In all departments the men are working sixty hours per week. The annual dinner of the American Railway Guild wns given at Boston on Tuesday evening. Prominent railroad officials from all parts of the country were assembled, C tl. Waldo, general manager of the C, II & D., being one of the number. Tho Pennsylvania will build three large Ia?sentrer steamers for its Anchor line of boats and will compete for the lake-carry-trade from Erie. If the experiment is a success other boats will be added and h shlpyeard on Lake Erie will be established. The report that the Chicago & Rock Island would extend its southwestern division and absorb a line that will give its own track into El Pa.eo, Tex., to a connection with the Mexican National and the Southern Pacific, is confirmed by a high official of the road. From the operation of its dining-car service, the Big Four, in the month of SeptimKr. realized a handsome surplus for the first time since the service was Introduced on the lines. There are now nine dining cars of the most approved pattern in service on the BU Four system. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy offers a reward of Jl.On) for the frustration of a train robbery, or for the capture or killing of the train robter. As a conequence the trainmen ca that road go fully armed. It

Is suggested that the offer Should be extended to cover train wreckers. It is stated that every ptominent line lu the country has received notices from its ticket agents at principal points that they will be forced to resign unle?3 relief is granted them in the way of Increased pay. and there is now a prospect that there will be a 5pcedy readjustment between those interested. The Chicago & Rock Island directory has

l.'sued an order that hereafter all the road's freight equipments shall bo built at the company's shops at Horton. Kan. This not only includes all new freight equipment, but the repair nnd overhauling of all old freight cars. The past year 1,000 freight cars were built at these shops. General Superintendent Masree. of the Wabash, yesterday issued orders that no mechanics or holler makers shall be given leave of absence unless in case of sickness. He says there is a scarcity of men and higher wages do not command the men needed. At the Forf Wayne shops men are working overtime, and at all shops sixty hours a week. M. H. Ingalis. president, J. D. Layng. vice president, and other officials now on an inspection of the property, yesterday went over the line between Cleveland and Anderson, and will this morning run over the Michigan division to Wabash, returning to Anderson, thence coming to Indianapolis and passing, in the afternoon, over the St. Louis division. Oscar Antz. who has been general foreman of the car department of the Lake Shore at Buffalo for twenty-seven years. was la.t week transferred to the position of general foreman of the locomotive department of the Lake Shore at Elkhart, Ind., nnd before leaving Buffalo he was patented with a handsome clock of Oriental design by his associate employes. The Illinois Central, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the Texas & Pacific and tie tueen & Crescent have formed a new through passenger service between Texas pclnts and the East which will reduce the time from seven to twelve hours. This new service will be inaugurated on Sunday, and it is one of the most important passenger deals consummated in the South for some months. General Passenger Agent E. P. Turner, of the Texas & Pacific, has notified Chairman Pratt, of the Southwestern Passenger Bureau, that the Texas & Pacific will reenter the bureau upon the adoption of certain changes in the agreement. The most Important change is that dealing with ticket brokers or facilitating a ticket broker's businesa in any manner is to bo prohibited. The fact that I. A. Swelgard, who, cn Oct. 1, resigned as general superintendent of the Philadelphia & Reading, still retains his private office and has since his resignation been re-elected a director in various Reading corporations. Is creating considerable speculation as to his future course. There are many who believe in the near future he will re-enter tho service of the Reading. A new device for the consumption of smoke given off by locomotives has been Invented which is said to give entire satisfaction. It 13 claimed to be almost perfect, irrespective of the moving or standing position of tho locomotive. The cost of equipping a locomotive with this device is about $23, and when a large engine is worked to Its utmost capacity it is claimed a saving of 28,000 pounds of coal per month is effected. Alex. B. Plough, for ten years vice president and general manager of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, and previously with tha Iowa Central, is at the point of death at his home in St. Paul, as the result of an accident two years ago on the Burlington road in Illinois. He was thrown through a car window when the train left the track, and it is now believed by his physician that pieces of glass, which were not removed, have penetrated far enough to cut important blood vessels. Vice President J. T. Harrahan, of the Illinois Central, has Just returned from a three months' trip abroad, where he made a study of European railroads. In an interview he says that "Europe has not the facilities for handling traffic of a character and volume of the American railways, neither is their business handled on the most economical basis. Their rates are higher and they pay a higher interest on their bonded indebtedness than the American roads, and their equipment is inferior to ours." The sharp advance In stock of the Lake Erie & Western is attracting considerable attention in financial circles. Not only are the earnings Improving, but the prospects of the road becoming a more integral part of the Vanderbllt system have improved. The earnings on the common stock are statad by authorities to be large, but will be put back into the property for at least another year. The preferred stock pays only 4 per cent, dividend per annum, but can get 6 per cent, before the common gets anything. Charles H. Tweed, vice president of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, who is closely identified with the interests of the estate of the late Collis 1. Huntington, was asked at New York yesterday regarding a report that E. H. Harriman had succeeded in securing a controlling Interest in the Pacific Mail Company. Mr. Tweed said: "I know nothing of it other than what I have read in the papers. Of course I do not know what Mr. Harriman may have in his strong box, but I know of no transactions which would tend to corroborate the report." II. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four lines, will today celebrate his sixty-fourth birthday. Since quite a young man ho has been in railroad service, entering the service May 21, 1S53, on what is now the Sandusky division of the Big Four lines. Most of his railroad career he has been with some part of what constitutes the Big Four system At the time the Big Four absorbed the Indiana, Bloomlngton & Western, now the Peoria & Eastern, he was Its general ticket and passenger agent, v.id his record as a passenger official has been highly credi table. NEBRASKA HOUSES. Eleven Carloads Sold tit Auction nt the Stockyards. Yesterday the Vandalla delivered at the Union stockyards eleven carloads of horses raised and shipped from Nebraska, which had been eight days on the road, time for rests deducted. This is the first time horses from that täte have been shipped to the Indianapolis market, and it is said to be but the beginning of such shipments. The horses were all of good breed, ranging In age from two to four years, all desirable colors and well built, but not broken even to the halter. They were sold" In the after noon at auction In bunches, buyers being here from Ohio, Kentucky and this State They sold at so much per head and were bought at prices ranxmg rrom 510.50 to xa, The four-year-olds averaged in weight 1,000 pounds each. A Hnllnd of Football. Tom Tackle was a football man Who never thought of fear. A quarter back came rushing by And tore from him an ear. A full bark stopped hlrn In a spurt. Before he could dodKe by. And ere they separated there. Poor Tom had lost an eye. And after one more ?rrlnt ho was Of his left arm bereft. But cheerfully he murmured: "Now, My rood right arm is left." A center rush approached him with: "Your pardon, sir. I be-." And In the tussle for the bail He pulled off Tom's right les;. Twae then his sweetheart said to him. "With sorrow do I scan The remnants of your handsome self You are but half a man. "And thotifth I pity you. indeed," The charmin crenturo said. '1 fear that we must say farewell. For we can never wed." Now Tackle was a wise your.jr man. "Though I hae lost an ear." II said, " 'twill have a double charm When your sweet voice 1 htar. "And though my left eye's rone to rest.

A BABY'S SMALL ESTATE

JKALPII 3IILES THE PROUD POSSESSOR OF EIGHTEEN DOLLARS. 3Ir. Wllmer Christian Appointed His Guard Inii-llHKlns Investigation Court Cases. Ralph Miles, five months old, now at the Eleanor Hospital, has undergone the process" of having a guardian appointed for him. The short history of this little gentiemaJi has been eventful and the estate he inherits is the wealth of a feebleminded mother. Mrs. Dr. Wilmer Christian consented to act as guardian of the baby, and -will look after his financial interests until he becomes twenty-one years of age. The estate amounts to J!3 in cash, which Mrs. Christian has deposited with Campbell, Wild & Co. for Investment. The brokers will pay Z per cent, on the money when it cannot be invested to net a larger per cent. Emma Miles is the mother of the baby, and she has been living with him at the Door of Hope for several months. Before the baby was born she worked for a family In this city, and the money was given her when she was taken to the charitable home The amount represents savings procured in a very peculiar manner. The mother possessed eccentric characteristics, and these were taken advantage of by her employer. It was learned that when she became obstreperous she could be hired to do certain things when all other means would fall. The discipline was then comparatively easy. A quarter or a half dollar would appease her when she threatened to create a disturbance, and the sight of money would do more to quiet her excited temper than all the persuasion of the entire household. These small bribes were never spent, and the savings represent the estate now turned over to the guardian for the benefit of her sou. An effort is now being made to place tho mother, who is but twenty-one years old, in the County Infirmary, where she can be given care. The baby has been given a berth at Eleanor Hospital and will remain there until ho can secure a more permanent residence at the home of the Board of Children's Guardians. It was thought best by Judge Walker, of the probate department, to have a guardiaji appointed to take care of the money, instead of depositing it in a bank or trust company, leaving no one in particular to tee that it is invested. Mrs. Christian consented to act as the guardian, and her long watch over her ward began Tuesday, when the money was left with Campbell, Wild & Co. There is much guessing by the probate clerks and Judge Walker as to how valuable the estate will be when it is turned over to Ralph Miles when he becomes of age. Judge Walker is arranging so that there will be no costs in the case, and it is now. left with the brokers to see how profitable they can make this little gentleman's inheritance. A DIVORCE DENIED. Jatlce Leathers Applies Ills evr Rnlc to the Case. Yesterday, Judge Leathers had an opportunity to test the new rule he has adopted in divorce cases, that of having the defendant subpoenaed and brought into court for examination, and he Is highly pleased with the outcome. The." case was that of Frank L. Melton against his wife, N. Belle Melton, and came directly under the jurisdiction of the new rule, ilelton alleged that his wife had been cruel to him and that she came to his place of business on Kentucky avenue, caused' his customers to leave by her talk, and destroyed his property. He asserted she gave as the reason for these actions that she did not JIke him. The case was going by default, and before it was culled the judge had a subpoena issued and served on Mrs. Melton. The' woman was found at home with five little children, and when the deputy read the summons, he says she at once broke down and began to cry. On the witness stand, yesterday, she cried most of the umo, and refused to answer the Judge's questions. He learned enough, however, to decide that the complaint was unwarranted. On account of her physical condition, he said the husband should not have attempted any such proceedings, and no matter what she has done, it was his duty to guard her instead of applying for a divorce to turn her out. The Judge did not mince words in scoring Melton when he denied him a divorce, and he told him it would be more manly to take his wife home and care for her than to appear in court against her. I THE PRORATE COURT. The Will of Itunnin V. Wnles Appointments Made. The will of Ruama W. Wales, probated yesterday, leaves $25 to each of her nephews, George Rex and Dwight Newcomb Wales, and niece, Agnes Wales. The remainder of the estate and personal property is left to her sister. Amy E. Wales, who Is also named as executor of the will. Miss Wales taught in the city schools for many years, und was one of the bestknown teachers In the city. She wrote the will herself. The estate is worth about J15.000. Charles Aneshaensel was appointed administrator of the estate of Emma Aneshaensel, and gave a bond of $000. Charles A. Dryer was appointed guardian of Aldlne Sloan, giving a bond of $50. Charles L. Ilutchins was appointed guardian of Pearl A., Fred E., Jennie II. and Jessie R. Looney, and gave a bond of $lu0. John G. Price was appointed executor of the will of Laura Agan. and gave a bond of G.000. This is the will probated some weeks ago. which explicitly told how the decedent was to be cremated. SPECIAL GRAND JURY SESSION. The Acts of Councilman HIkkIus to lie InTestlguted. Upon the petition of Prosecutor Pugh Judge Alford, of the Crlmnal Court, yesterday issued a call for a special session of me grand jury to-morrow morning, to take up the investigation of Councilman Higgln3 and any alleged illegal acts that Illggins has laid at the door of other councilmen. Judge Alford said the investigation will not be confined entirely to Higgins, if evidence of wrong-doing In official capacity on the part of other counciimen develops. Higgms is treating the special session of the grand jury as a Joke and says he does not fear an Investigation. It is understood that Councilman Bernauer will also be brought before the grand Jury, as Presecutor Pugh was yesterday making some investigations. 1 Rulings fn Damage Cases. In dealing with damage suits yesterday the Appellate Court held that the owner of a factory was not responsible for damages when his property is leased. Newton D. Baker recovered a Judgment for $2,212 against the Ault Woodenware Company, of Martinsville, for injuries received In the p'ant. The factory had been leased to II. C Davis, who agreed to pay the owners all the profits above $2,100 each year. In reversing the decision the court held that the company released all claim upon the factory when It was leased to Davis, and had nothing to do with employing cr discharging the workmen. The judgment for damages against Charles H. Brownell. of Peru, in the suit of Mary A. Irwin and Emma Miller was reversed by the Appellate Court on the ground that they had no right to maintain a Joint action for damages they had severally sustained. Divorce nnd Unninge Suits. Ivah Hulsiaer yesterday . brought suit against htr husband. Llmer U. Hulslzer, for divorce, and also a suit against Alice Baker for the alleged alienation of her husband's affections and asking for $10,-

000 damages. The Hulslzers lived at Clermont, this county, and the co-respondent in this city.' Mr. Smith Released. Mrs. George Smith, who was held in Police Court for perjury, was yesterday released by Judge Daly that she might go to the bedside of her dying babe.
