With Feb. 28 ended the -winter packing eeason and since Nov. 1, Its beginning:, In dianapolis packing houses have killed 412, 000 hogs, against 412,000 for the correspond ing period ending .with Feb. 2S, 1S39. One of the older of the packers says that through the entire season the hogs killed have been of a better grade than usual as to weight and condition. At the twenty four points which report tha number of bogs killed there were killed 8,673,000 hogs, against 9,720.000 for the corresponding period of last year's packing season. At several reporting points the falling off in number, of hogs killed was proportionately greater than at Indianapolis. Business at the Stockyards. In the month of February there were re ceived at the Union stockyards 81,054 hogs, 7,909 head of cattle, 1,206 head of sheep and 3,267 horses. There were shipped 28,613 hogs, 1.S37 head of cattle, 1,013 sheep and 2.S37 horses. East month there were sold at the three auction sale stables 3.543 horses, LOSS more than In February, 1S09. ' t , ' ' ESCAPED THE SN0W Train Iloirever, Are Delayed to Some Extent Coming: from the East. Indianapolis, although Its Inhabitants have been put to a little trouble In walking during the last few days, has been fortu nate in escaping the great snowstorm which has swept over the Central States. From reports received. early yesterday the enow was about forty lnchs on a level in some places. Trains were tied up, and those which arrived late In the day bore evidence of having como through a moun tain of snow. The blizzard which struck the eastern part of the country played havoc with the telegraph wires, and the receipt of news from that section was very difficult. Chief Wappenhans is of opinion that the "backbone" of winter has been brokn and that there will not be any very cold weath er from this on. Object to Uniforms. The question of uniforms for the Mer chant policemen does not seem to be ap proved by many of the members of that body. Yesterday afternoon a meeting was held In their rooms on South Delaware street, where about two-thirds of the Mer chant policemen were present and ex pressed their reasons why uniforms should pot be worn by them. At the close of the meeting a petition was drawn up. signed by about forty names, which will be pre sented to Mayor Taggart, asking him to rescind the action of the Hoard of Safety- requesting- uniforms. There are fifty-seven members of the Merchant police force, and It Is thought nearly all will sign the petl tlon, which will in all probability be pre sented to the mayor next week.

OLD STORY TOLD AGAIN AW THE OXLV TIIEVO THAT WILL CURE RATE DEMORALIZATION. The Wabash Makes Gratifying; Earn ing Exhibit The Pennsylvania Will Have a Unffalo Line. The freight traffic manager of one of the Indianapolis roads, in discussing the rate demoralization nw prevailing, said the manner in which the freight business was conducted was a disgrace and eimply a robbery of the stockholders. There was moro business than could be carried, and It would move at a full tariff rates if sub ordinate officials did not disregard all agreements of presidents and conduct bus iness on unbusiness like methods, the only persona benefited being a few big ship pers, the small shippers being deprived of cars and of the lower rates. While this demoralization prevailed largely on ex port business the manipulation extended to other lines of frelghL He, in the past, had rather opposed pooling agreements, but was now confirmed in the opinion that Congress should pass the pooling bill al lowing the roads to pool the business sub ject to certain conditions, the Interstate- ccramerco Commission to have power to set aside any pool that was unjust to any class of shippers. At Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis, the big shippers In a large meas ure fixed the rates at which property should be carried, and he thought that with the pooling agreement the stockhold ers, the roads and shippers generally would be benefited, as rates would be steaiy and firm and all shippers treated alike. The present rate manipulation, he said, works an injustice to roads that are required to strictly adhere to rates. This was aptly Illustrated in the case of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road, and of the Van- dalla, which are in the hands of receivers, and which the courts have ordered should strictly maintain rates. While competi tors of the Clover-leaf are showing large gains in earnings the latter show decreas es, not being able to get business at the rates at which such business is now car ried. Fortunately for the Vandalla, its local business has been heavy beyond pre cedent, and has more than offset its decrease- In earnings from through grain traffic. Tbc Pennsylvania' Buffalo Line. Wall Street Journal. We can give the following authoritative In formation regarding the Pennsylvania's new line to Buffalo. Colonel Joseph A. Crawford, assistant to Vice President Pea, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, will put engineers' In the field at once to locate Its new Buffalo line which it Is now thought will run from the Philadel phia & Erie railroad at Kane or Wilcox, thence due north - to Buffalo, there con necting with terminal property now being acquired. This new line would, in con- Junction with the Philadelphia & Erie Rail road and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, serve for both east and west bound traffic and would Involve the least new construc tion and the maintaining of but one con necting line. It is a little longer from eastern points that the first line projected from near emporium to ML Jewett and thence to Buffalo with a branch over to Kane, but it utilizes the Philadelphia & Erle Ranroad from Emporium to Wilcox and will make a satisfactory connection of Its own for the Pennsylvania system. Wabash Earnings. President Ashley, of . the Wabash, re ports the following earnings for January and for seven months. January 1833-1900 1898-99 Increase Earnings $1.314,5S3 $1,138,4S8 $176,9.0 Expenses SC7.193 895,433 71,740 Net ..$3l7,3S3 $243,029 $104,354 From July 1.

The Joint Traffic Association was formal ly dissolved yesterday. The new classification is in the printer's hands and will take effect March 19. J. J. Turner, general manager of the Vandalla, passed through the city yester day en route from Pittsburg to St. Louis. C. F. Kennedy has been appointed assist ant superintendent of the Worcester divi sion of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four lines, who has been in Cleveland several days, returned last even ing to his headquarters. Thomas E. Watt, Western division passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, who has been confined to his home in Shadyside for a few days by illness, is recovering. Dr. J. L. Shepard, division medical direc tor of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, has accepted an appointment in the regular army and will leave for Manila on April 1. The Santa Fe has abolished the position of master mechanic at Topeka, to take ef fect March 1. George H. Hancock, holding that position at present, will go to San Francisco. The newly-Incorporated Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis Railroad Company has taken possession of the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis, and the St. Louis, Chicago & SL Paul (Bluff line) Railroad. J. Albert Barnard, general manager of the Peoria & Eastern, is able to be up, but yesterday thought he would not attempt to go to his office before Monday. He is look ing after his correspondence at his room. The project to build another road between St. Louis and Kansas City Is now so well backed that Its construction is assured. The line was projected some years ago and the promoters went so far as to secure a charter. In the month of February there were handled at the city freight depots of the Pennsylvania lines 25.630.234 poundä of freight, representing 2.S33 cars, being 57,000 pounds more freight and oiie more car than in February, 1SS9. The official report of Henry Fräser, gen eral agent of the Big Four at this point, shows that in February there were handled at the Big Four city freight depots 6.411 carloads of freight, eighty-two more than in February, 1S99. R. C. J. Pendleton, formerly representing the Canadian Southern in Indianapolis ter ritory. Is qulto ill at the home of his son. Albert D. Pendleton, commercial agent of the Vandalla, who went to Chicago and brought his father home. II. K. Rea has been appointed general livestock agent for the Cotton Belt at Fort Worth, vice W. E. Weeks. who resigned to become general Southwestern agent for the Kansas City Stockyards Company at Fort Worth. It is generally conceded that John M. Egan, first vice president and one of the best railroad men in the South, will be ap pointed president of the Central Railroad of Georgia. E. II. Hlnton, traffic man ager of the road, is also mentioned. Feb. 23 was a record-breaking day In ton nape of outbound business of the Pennsyl vania lines at Indianapolis, there being loaded for shipment that day at the city freight depots 1.008,272 pounds of freight. This does not include business done on the bulk tracks. D. E. Neereamer. who has" for fourteen years been In the office of L. S. Gray, gen eral agent of the Pennsylvania lines, west, as his private secretary, yesterday left for New York to take a more important posi tion in the office of O. J. Greer, general agent of the Pennsylvania. A circular announces the appointment of J. B. Bartholomew as assistant general freight agent of the International & Great Northern, with headquarters at Palestine. Tex., and N. S. Pawkeet as commercial freight and passenger agent of the same line, with headquarters at Cincinnati. At a rpeclal meeting at the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. department at Pittsburg, to be held in March, prominent '.lcal officials have arranged to deliver addresses, and among these are J. B. Yohe, general super intendent of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie; A. M. Sehoyer, superintendent of the east ern division of the Fort Wayne; J. P. Orr, general freight agent of the Pennsylvania, and W. S.. Campbell, commercial agerrt of the Chicago ft Alton. The Lake Erie on Thursday began to run a through car of freight dally from In dianapolis to Peru and Laporte and thence over the Lake Shore to Chicago. A through car will also go from Chicago by the same route to Indianapolis dally. ' Last evening the Big Four got Its tem porary bridge over the Wabash river at Terre J laute so far completed that trains could pass over it. Several freight locomo tives have been transferred to the St. Louis d. vision to rush forward the freights de layed on account of the bridge going down. R. T. McKeever, who yesterday became general manager of the Copper Range Railroad, Is a nephew of Dr. H. Seward Webb, and his selection lends support to the persistent rumors that the Chicago & Northwestern will build a connection and enter the district over Copper Range tracks. The Pullman Company has announced Its intention of refitting the parlor car service of the Erie Railroad with entirely new equipment. It is expected that as soon as possible all of the cars on the system will be taken off and new ones put in their place, or those which are now in use will be entirely overhauled. It Is reported that Charles M. Hays, who is said to have resigned as general mana ger of the Grand Trunk, is to go to the Canadian Pacific in a more Important posi tion than the one he held on the Grand Trunk. If this be true, a prominent rail way official predicts that Joseph Ramsey, general manager of the Wabash, will suc ceed Mr. Hays on the Grand Trunk. One of the largest single orders for en gines ever booked by a locomotive firm in this country is that Just received by the Baldwin works from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The order calls for 100 compound consolidated freight engines, and Is supple mentary to one for sixty-five engines of a similar character placed by the company with this firm some months ago. At a meeting of the directors of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, yes terday, the resignation of George Crocker as director and second vice president was received and accepted, and H. E. Hunting ton was elected to the office of second vice president. John W. Mackay was elected a member of the board of directors, to suc ceed Mr. Crocker, and Charles H. Tweed, counsel for the road, and William E. Dodge were also elected directors of the com pany. The resignation of Mr. Crocker is believed to mean that the Crocker holdings of Southern Pacific stock have been trans ferred to the Speyers. The map of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad in the Official Guide for several months has shown the Cleveland division extending as far south as Zanesville, but in the time tables the train stops short at Coshocton, "thirty miles away." In this instance the map obviously has em bodied a prophecy. This prophecy now is about to be realized. Zanesville la an im portant center, and the extension will give Wheeling & Lake Erie a better hold upon certain lines of trade. For one thing, ac cess to the West Virginia coal fields, by way of Zanesville, as well as by way of Martin's Ferry, is anticipated. The Chicago & Rock Island officials have entered into arrangements with an Eastern correspondence school, whereby that insti tution will fit out cars for educational pur poses and place them at the disposal of the employes of the railroad. The cars will be equipped with such appliances as are essential to thorough railroad experiments, together with books' and other reading matter touching upon the various phases of railroad operation. The correspondence school will provide instructors, and em ployes who will be able to avail them selves of the educational opportunities without neglecting their regular labors need only pay small tuition fees.

William Inglis, a reporter, described the second sceno in the first acL He identified as correct the photographs hhown him of the scene, one being that of Fannie being carried upstairs by Jean. Mr. Jnglis said that as Sapho was being car ried up stairs she was uttering inarticulate sounds which seemed to denote intense sat isfaction.

YOUTHS PLAYED POOL CAUSE OF ARREST OF TWO MORE BILLIARD HALL PROPRIETORS. Pfau and Hatfield the Latest Case of John W. Enterich In the Cir cuit Court. John G. Pfau and Barton T. Hatfield. proprietors of a cigar and billiard estab lishment at No. 109 North Pennsylvania street, were arrested yesterday afternoon on grand jury warrants charging them with allowing minors to play pool. They each gave a bond of $100 for their appear ance in court. There are four Indictments against each of these men. This arrest, like ' that of Anderegg, , proprietor of the Denlson House billiard parlor, grew out of an Investigation made by the Jury Into the habits of some youths of tender age who were arrested for stealing overcoats from the High School building. The jury found that these young men were ofa "sporty" turn of mind and spent a good deal of time in billiard parlors. The information fur nished by them resulted in the arrest of Anderegg. Pfau and Hatfield. On Wednesday Anderegg pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs In four different cases against him. Fred Bane, Herbert Fergason, Luther Drlsbeck and Henry Hlggins, youthful of fenders, were arraigned in the Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. Only the cases against Higglns and Fergason were disposed of. In both cases sentence was suspended. HE IS A MORMON CONVERT. Incidents Connected with John W. Emerlch's Appearance In Court. On Wednesday Judge Allen, of the Cir cuit Court, issued a writ of attachment fort John W. Emerich, who, it was supposed. had failed to appear that morning as a witness in a suit for support brought by his wife Nellie Emerich. Yesterday when Emerich came into the court he explained that he was on hand promptly at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning and Waited until 1L No one spoke to him or Informed that he was wanted and he went away. Under the circumstances Judge Allen declined to punish him. The court asked Emerich about his al leged desertion of his wife and children, and he explained that he and his wife differed in their religious views. He said his wife was a Catholic, and when she asked him for $200 to give a Catholic priest, he refused. This, he explained, had a good deal to do with his leaving his family. Emerich, it appears, has become a Mormon convert. He had his Bible with him in court and while waiting to be called as a witness frequently referred to the book. Judge Allen did not appear to greatly appreciate the man's devotion and said to him that he did not think it was a very strong religion that would cause a man to desert his family. Emerich has a piece of property in the city and Judge Allen ordered that this property be used la the best way to benefit Emerich's children. Koepke Suit Dismissed. . In the suit of Louisa Koepke against the street-railway company, to recover dam ages on account of the death of her hus band, Frederick Koepke, Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, yesterday announced he would instruct the jury to find for the defendant. Frederick Koepke was injured by a street car In June, 1S97, and committed suicide about one year later. It was claimed that the injuries received In the street car accident unseated his reason and caused him to take his own life. George W. Galvin. one of the attorneys for Mrs. Koepke, came into the case at a late day and apparently was not familiar with the manner in which Frederick Koepke took his. life. The attorney stood before the Jury in his opening statement and pressed an Imaginary revolver to his head in explaining how Mr. Koepke had killed himself. Later, however, when a physician was placed on the witness stand, he testified that Koepke had taken his life by the use of poison. When the court an nounced he would instruct for the defend ant Attorney Galvin said that he would dismiss the case. Suit to Set Aside a Will. A suit to set aside the will of Leonard B. Hinkle, who died on Feb. 3 last, was filed yesterday in the Circuit Court. The suit is brought by Edith Coan against Cora Hinkle, widow of the testator, and Truman B. Hinkle, his son. The plaintiff is a daughter of the decedent. She avers that she and her brother and mother are the only heirs of Leonard Hinkle. She charges that the execution of the will of Leonard B. Hinkle was unduly procured by his wife and on and she claims he . was not of sound mind at the time he made the will. Didn't Have Enough Sand. George A. Rubush yesterday began an action for damages against the White River Sand and Gravel Company. He claims he made an agreement with the company by which it was to furnish him all the sand and gravel he could haul away. He charges that the company failed to keep its contract and he was unable to fill his wagons as often as desired. He was to have the gravel at 27 cents a load, he avers. He demands damages In the sum of $900. Will of Karl Mall. The will of Karl Mall was probated yes terdey. The plaintiff gave his property to his wife, Christina M. L. Mall, to have as long as she remains his widow, and at her death to be divided share and share alike among his three children. The "will pro vides, however, that should Mrs. Mall re marry she is to have only such part of the estate as the law allows her. THE COURT RECORD. CIRCUIT COURT. Room 1 John L. McMaster, Judge.

James Johnston In Jail to Answer a Charge of Forgery. James Johnston, at one time justice of the peace here, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant sworn out in Jus tice Smock's court, charging that on or about March C, 1S99, he forged the signa ture of his neice, Jennie Johnston, to a re lease of a mortgage for $600. In default of bond he was sent to jail awaiting a hearing. The forgery is said to have been uttered in Dearborn county where the niece resides. It is also charged that the jurat, signed by, O. F. Roberts, notary public, was also forged. Johnston lives at 1211 Union street. A short time ago he was 'before the Com missioner's Court charged with Improperly administering a guardianship, at which time, it was claimed, 'he was short about $1,200 in his account with his ward. The matter was adjusted and his guardianship removed. . Stone Masona' Wage Scale. The question of wage scale which has arisen between the contractors and union stone masons promises to have some in teresting features before it is settled. Yes terday was the day for the new scale to take effect and on account of tho bad weather few men were at work. At a meeting Monday night the "bosses" an nounced their willingness to continue the present scale of 40 and 43 cents an hour according to the proficiency of the work man. . This agreement does not suit the union men, as they say it discriminates against part of the union, and that in the future they will be required to pay the flat scale of 45 cents. AMUSEMENTS.

The cruelty of such treatment is illustrated in the alarming number of deaths which re sult from it. The disease is in the blood, and hence can not be cut out. Nine times out of ten the surgeon's knife only hastens death. My son bad a most malignant Cancer, for which the doctors said an operation was the only hope. The oper ation was a severe one, as It was neces sary to cut down to the jawbone and fccrape it. Before a great while the Can cer returned, and be gan to grow rapidly. We gave him many remedies without re lief, and final It, npon the advice of a friend, decided to try S. S. S. (Swift's bpecinc), and with the second bottle he began to improve. After twenty bottles had been taken, the Cancer disappeared entirely, and he was cured. The cure was a permanent one. for he Is now seventeen years old, and has never had a sign of the dreadful disease to re turn. J. N. Murdoch, 279 Snodgrass St., Dallas, Texas.
