There was a. great exemption from accidents In Central Traffic Association territory, and reports of trains show that, so far as Indianapolis is concerned, in no former fall and winter have trains arrived and departed so nearly on their schedule time. The only trains arriving late were from the East, the trouble not being with the local roadi?, but in the. delivery of trains by the Nev York Central to the Lake Shore and in turn to the Bis Four, and of the Pennsylvania lines to the Panhandle. Uast-bound and north and .south trains made remarkably good records, Avith one or two exceptions onß the Panhandle from Chicago, due at Irdianar.oH.s at Z::Z a. ni. AVeather conditions were 0 favorable that trains have been handled at let. cost than In any winter in the- hMory cf Indianapolis lines, number of trains handled and weight of such trains considt-red, for it should be borne in mind that trains, both freight and passenger, are 5) to b) per cent, heavier than ten or even live years ago. Xew York Plan of the l'enim j 1 vnnln. The New York Mail and Express yesterday had the following: "The plans of the Pennsylvania Railroad with reference to the city, particularly in connection with the Long Island Railroad, are far reaching, and the Mall and Express Is In a position te give the principal details. First, they involve the building of extensive wharves at Greenville, on the west side of New York harbor, the establishment of a freight ferry which will carry whole trains to Hay Ridge, tho rapid hauling of traffic around Urooklyn to IJushwick and thence over a new railroad to Hell Gate bridge, to a connection with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Hailroad. In co-operation with the New Haven road immense quantities of through traflic from the West to northeast points Is to be moved by this new route, thereby saving a large part of the operating expenses and delay Incident to floating cars up the Kast river to the Harlem river, which is greatly Impeded at certain seasons by ice and shipping. The New Haven officials have decided to enter into this traffic arrangement, particularly as the freight receipts of that company have suffered considerably of late by diversion of business over the Vanderbilt lines by Avay of Albany. It can now be said authoritatively that the new Hell Gate bridge will be owned by the Pennsylvania Itallrnad or its subsidiary line, the Long Island Railroad. The New York Central will have no interest in it. It is definitely settled that the Pennsylvania Railroad will not build a tunnel from Greenville or any other part of New Jersey to Long island for the purpose of connecting its tAvo systems." Places Shippers oil Kqual KootliiR. President George Gould, of the Missouri Pacific system, accompanied by his wife and two children, spent part of yesterday at Memphis, inspecting the terminal facilities of the Iron Mountain road. Mr. Gould was asked: "Do you think the tendency to consolidate railway interests has spent Its force, and what is your opinion will be the ultimate effect of the community of great railway interests?" He replied: "To the first question I will answer no. The consolidating tendency will be alive for some time yet. I predict other and greater mergers than has yet taken place. As to the effect of such concentration of interests, 1 believe the public will be benefited thereby. I am satisfied tnat no detriment to the groat shipping interests will or can result. The community of interests among railroads is desirable, primarily for the reason that a uniform and equal rate basis can be maintained. All shippers will then be. on an equal footing." Personal, Local and General Xotes. The Chicago, Indiana & Eastern has become a member ci' the Central Passenger Association.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Under the heading "Dr. AVilliams's Charges," in to-day's Journal you speak of me as "formerly a surgeon In the United States army." I was never in the medical department of the army. The charge as to illegal payments to clerk was founded on report of the board to the Governor. If th Rule S is such a' good thing why was it not put Into the Wood bill': Because, if. they hail it would have been a confession of the illegality' of their rule anil action had under it in the past. Their confession of receiving a fee tor temporary permits proves my charge that such fees were collected without war rant of law. The present and the proposed law both contain the same provision mak Ing the prosecuting attorney of the Cir cuit Court the attorney to prosecute all causes brought by the board, and requires no action by the attorney general "in the local court.'i outside of Marion county." If assistance to prosecute casts in courts outside Marion county was needed, ar.d the board had advico from the attorney gen oral to that effect, why did the board em ploy attorneys of this city, instead of the county where suits were brought? AVere there no competent attorneys In such counties to bo employed? W. N. AV1LLIAMS, M. D Indianapcli?, March 5. i 1 II II )M HaA'o your furnac looked a(tr and re paired. THOMAS E.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: To correct a misunderstanding prevalent among old soldter3 In regard to their special privileges to obtain land in the Commanche country, kindly allow spaco for the following short letter of explanation. The special privileges granted them, are the following: They are permitted to appoint on agent and have him select and file for them, Avithout their being present at the opening in person. The general opinion, however, that soldiers can have agents select and file for them before the country is opened for others is erroneous The moment the country is opened filing can be made, and if prior to settlement of any other person on the same tract, will hold it subject to entry for six months. The advantage of filing through an agent Is that tho soldier need not come until hia claim i3 secured, or not until six monlhs thereafter if he wishes, but If he comes to file in person he comes Avith the uncertainty of getting a c'alm. On the other hand, the objection to the law on this subject Is that it gives opportunity for soldiers to lie defrauded by unprincipled agents. These agents who pretend to be officially connected with the opening or to be surveying the country are misleading the old soldier, as they have no connection with the covernment officials. An agent who expects to treat his clients right will represent to him the true conditions. The time served in the army will be deducted from the five years' residence required of the regular homesteader, but hemust reside on the land at least one year. Tho nece-sary requisites for old soldiers to be entitled to these privileges are. the following: Service in the United Statt.-: army for at least ninety days during the ,ar of the rebellion anil an honorable discharge, subject to exceptions that he murt not have made a prior homestead entry or filed a declaratory statement, and must noc be the owner of more than 160 acres of land.

He is reported as saying "Hell everywhere means a boycott of God." It is hard to believe that tho preacher expected his hearers to believe the world as bad as that. Is not such an expression an unpardonable extravagance? But he Intensifies It; he Fays: "l can take him one day's round among men and he will exclaim. lf 1 saw too much of this dark side of life 1 would reel in my mind.' "It is well known that there has always been in all ages crime with and without ignorance; there hns been drinking to drown remorse for the love of it and for convlvlalty; the glutton existed In hI ng.-s, he is here yet and will probably remain. But that he is more numerous, denseness of population considered, has yet to be proven. The probable fact Is tiiat there is less of crime to-day the world over than ever before In its history. If not then the preacher had better "get out of business as a failure, as he is more numerous than ever before and colleges are turning them out by thousands. At least there ban been an improvement since religious intolerance found it a convenience to burn witches in Massachusetts. This county, small as it it. has probably 2ti miles of fine gravel roads, with an occasional mud hoU-. The Rev. Smith sees a den of iniquity in Indianapolis or In Hartford City and says the whole- .State is "hell." If he desires to add practical men to membership of the church his sermon Sunday will lull of Its purpose. There is not a sensible man In Indiana who will entertain the idea for a minute that hell und Indiana are In any way related. E. D. MOFFETT. Indianapolis, March 5. Elmer Johiimnna Released.
