THIRTY THREE YEARS SERVICE "JACK" SNAVELEY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN PANHANDLE SERVICE. - liOW III CLAIM DEPARTMENT Began Had Work as Switchman Has a Varied Career Joined Army When a Boy. "Jack" Snaveley, the well known Claim Agent of the Pennsylvania Railway in this city, today celebrates the 33rd anniversary of his service with the Pennsylvania Railroad, the greater part of the time being with the police and elaim departments. Mr. Snaveley is known from one end of the line to the other lie had a . widely. varied line of work since he left his home in Pennsylvania, when he was a boy. The tale is an interesting one. At seventeen years "Jack" was so anxious to join the Union army, that the captain would not turn him down on account of his age and size, but gave him a rifle and a uniform, and told him to come along. This was in 1861. He served two enlistments, and being mustered out in 1806, commenced to work for the Pennsylvania. He worked with the road in Pittsburg for five years and then quit for a. few months. Later, he went back. to the road and worked for two years in Pittsburg, then came west to Indianapolis, and on the, 14th day of February, 1S73, commenced as switchman in the Indianapolis -yards. Eayly in his service he suffered the loss of an arm, and was then transferred to the police department of Indianapolis, and was connected there for twelve years, during the time when the railroads were having the greatest trouble with freight thieves. He also did some work for the law department of the division while in the police department. Since 1SR5, Mr. Snaveley has been with the claim department altogether, for the first nine years with the Indianapolis division as claim agent and since 1804 he has been with the claim department of the road, with supervision over this vicinity. A $36. rate to prominent Western points will become effective the 15th and continue until April 7. This is to encqurage travel of home-seekers. U do

RAILROAD NOTES Employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad are taking measures to help in the matter of relief during sickness. They have asserted that for some time payments made during illness or injury have not been adequate and as the management has been unable to increase the amount of the relief fund it will form auxiliary organizations among themselves and thus care for those disabled by sickness or accident. James A. Keegan, master mechanic of the Grand Rapids & Indiana road, is en route to California, where he expects to stay six weeks. Several days ago Mr. Keegan sustained an injury to one of his knees, which makes him lame and he is unable to attend to the active duties of his office, hence he takes this trip. Warren Hoi ton, traveling passenger agent of the Union Pacific Railway, was here yesterday on business. MAY FINISH DOUBLE TRACK BETWEEN INDIANAPOLIS AND COLUMBUS NEXT SUMMER. Panhandle Contemplates Needed ImprovementNo Work to be Done in Richmond. It is reported that the Pennsylvania will complete the 'double track between Columbus arid Indianapolis next summer. The road is double tracked between Columbus and New York City, and almost all of the way from Columbus to Greenville, Ohio. long the Indianapolis division there are many long passing sidings which will help greatly in the work. There will be no need of any gangs of laborers in this city for that purpose, as there is double track between the New Paris Junction and the end of the "Z" tower siding, west of Richmond, this track having been put down several years ago.

RICHMOND MAY ' GET BASEBALL
CLARENCE JESSUP WILL TRY TO GET BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED. 111 K FIT lib P A FAST TEAM Richmond Can Get in a Minor LeagueA New Park is Wanted Near City. There is a bare possibility Richmond will be represented that this coming season in a strong minor baseball league. Clarence Jessup has been approached by promoters of a league composed of, northern Indiana and southern Michigan cities and he told them that he would like to secure a franchise for this city but that it was extremely doubtful if Sunday ball would be permitted. There is an agitation now on foot to secure the interest of prominent business men and the street car company in the project, and if the at tempt proves successful, a stock company will be formed to take over the franchise and a strong team will be at once secured, that will give the many fans of this city the fastest article of the national game ever seen in Richmond. There are two objects that stand "in the way of the successful culmina tion of this scheme. The first and most important is the question of Sunday baseball. There is a state law against Sunday baseball but the only city in the state that is represented in a league where; Sunday baseball is not permitted is Indianapolis. Prosecuting Attorney Wilfred Jessup was asked, veslerdav what stand he would -' take on Sunday baseball, and he stated that if there was an attempt made to that ei'feet this season he would take n action unless affidavits were filed and in that case he would prosecute any violations of the Sunday baseball law. The second question that confronts the promoters of the proposed Richmond baseball team is a site for a ball park. The Driving Park where the games were formerly played is now being dismantled and it will be necessary to secure, a new site. Even if the Driving -Park was available, it is doubtful-vif's-ttwould be selected, as the . menl behind the scheme are of the opinion that? it is too far from the center of the city. . If the scheme does go through the park will be located just on the outskirts of the city about a five minutes ride from Eighth and Main streets on the street cars and about a ten minutes walk. It has been suggested that the Athletic Park would be a suitable place. Clarence Jessup yesterday said that he had signed a contract to play with New London n the Connecticut League but if there was a chance of Richmond getting into a good minor league he would remain here to play. "I realize that there might be some opposition to Sunday baseball in Richmond" said Jessup "but I am almost tempted to make the attempt of interesting local .business men who are devotees of the game of placing a team in Richmond. There would be j week day games, as well as . Sunday games, and I am. sum that: this city is large enough ..to support a good team, if the park is not located too far from the business center tof town. I intend to give the .matter consideration, and to find out whether I can interest capital in Jjie jscheme before I take any steps in the matter." Jessup stated that there would be no difficulty in securing a fast team. CITY STATISTICS. Births. Charles H. Johanning and 431 South Thirteenth street, third child. wife, Joseph B.

WIFE, FARM AND CASH GONE MICHIGAN MAN'S TROUBLES ATTRIBUTED TO HYPNOTISM. Better Half May Return Writes Letter from Ireland Explaining Magnetic Sway on Train. Charlotte, Mich., Feb. 13. His farm and money gone and his wife in the power of a hypnotist are the chief factors in George Blowei-s' story of business trials and domestic tribulation. 1 Last fall, Blowers, with several others in this vicinity, caught the Oklahoma fever, and started for the southwest. Blowers sold his farming equipment, but before the sale of the farm had been consummated, he accompanied by his wife, left for Guymon. Shortly after their arrival local real estate dealers who had charge of the property, notified Blowers that the sale had been made, and upon execution of the proper transfers, the money, which was on deposit in a local; bank, could be paid him. Blowers' share amounted to about $1,700. Mrs. Blowers returned here with authority to close the deal and receive the $1,700, which was paid her in cash. In the early part of November Mrs. Blowers started back to Oklah oma. She left the train at Kansas City and has not been seen since. Blowers waited several days, and finally became suspicious. About a month ago he received a letter from lier postmarked Cork, Ireland, in which she says she is under the power of a man , who hypnotized her while riding on .a train through Missouri. ',?The.. woman writes that she tried to evade the man, who occupied a section opposite her, but she could not resist him! In closing she tells Blower she. still loves him and asks for money to buy a ticket home. STATE. MEETING t i " i f-fL&dA e r t G. G. Logan .of Jlolly. Mich., the Kev. E;,B.
