Western Presidents Consider Form ing: a 2Vew Freljcht Association Earn! nee of Indiana Roads. Freight officials of Western connections of the Lake Shore were much surprised yesterday on receiving a circular from C, J. Grammar announcing that the Lake Shore road, of which he Is general traffic manager, would not participate In the rate on corn, basis of fifteen cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New Tork, the effect of which will probably be to divert ship ments of corn largely to Baltimore, Phila delphia and Newport News. It is stated that when the fifteen-cent rate on corn w-as before In effect but little went forward over tb.9 Lake Shore. So far as the Big our Is concerned, the White line can use the Nickel-plate from Cleveland to Buffalo, and the Lake Erie & Western has for warded most of its corn - East via the Nickel-plate. Still, the circular causes much speculation,' as the order to make the fif teen-cent rate on corn emanated from the board of managers of the Joint Traffic -As sociation.

Southwestern Pool May Re Duplicated The presidents of several of the more important roads running west from Chi cago have this week held two secret con ferences, but enough has leaked out to show that they were in conference as re gards forming an association similar to the Southwestern pool. One of the meetings was held in the office of President Hughitt, of the Chicago &. Northwestern, the other in the office of President Miller, of the Chi cago, Milwukee & St. Paul. It is stated that the feeling against reconstructing the Western Freight Association was unani mous, it having outlived its usefulness. One of the obstacles to forming any pooling as sociation is in the fact that the smaller roads favor a good faith agreement, with out fines or pooling features. One or two of the larger roads favored duplicating the hide-bound Joint Traffic Association of Eastern roads, but the majority were op posed to any such a trust, for the reason that several of the smaller systems in the West would not go into such a deal unless they were bought into it. which would be too expensive an undertaking. The presi dents of the Santa Fe and the Rock Island roads, the lines responsible for the disso lution -of the Western Freight Association. advocated the formation of an organization on the lines of the Southwestern Traffic Association. This combine is managed by a board of control, composed of represent atives from each of the lines members of the pool- This board has complete and ar bitrary supervision over the rate-making and all other details. A committee was ap pointed to draw up some plan for a strong organization, to incluue passenger as well as fre.ght; a'so some scheme fo:- a sejara.e freight association.

He was recently at tacked with appendicitis, his condition be came rapidly worse and an operation was decided on and was performed by a New York surgeon on Sunday. A good deal of anxiety Is expressed as to his recovery, as he had but recently recovered from serious nervous prostration. The appointment of a new general man ager of the Vanderbilt fast freight lines Is still In abeyance. It is, however, a subject or much interest among freight men, ana. if rumors are to be credited, more than one individual believes he has a good chance of being preferred for the position. It seems to be conceded that G. J. -Grammar, traffic manager of the Lake Shore, will have con siderable Influence In settling the question. There are practical railroad men who as sert that on the St. Louis division of the I.ig Four, on the divisions between Indi anapolis and Cincinnati, on the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines and on the Monon and the Cincinnati, Hamilton 6c Dayton, a higher speed is daily attained than on any Eastern road, size of train considered, the New York Central not ex cepted. The presidents of the Western railroads. who were in session at Chicago Tuesday endeavoring to plan out a successor to the Western Freight Association, turned over the job to the freight traffic managers yesterday. The latter officials were no more successful than their superiors, and nothing came of the meeting. The traffic men, however, declared themselves in fa vor of an association constructed on the plan of the Southwestern Traffic Associa tion. The Illinois Central has come to the re lief of the Belleville & Southern Illinois and has enabled the company to avoid a receivership. Arrangements have been made to extend the tme of payment of the first mortgage bonds until October, 1S97, with interest at 4l, per cent., payable semi annually in gold coin.

General Superintendent Turner, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, and I. L. Orbison. superintendent of telegraph, were in the city yesterday on official busi ness. Mr. Turner stated that the change by which A. Galloway is removed to Cin cinnati would only .temporarily affect the Indianapolis division. It is well understood that as soon as certain litigation concern ing the sale of the Indiana. Decatur & Western is settled a superintendent for that road and the Indianapolis division of the Cincinnati. Hamilton Dayton will be appointed, with headquarters at Indian apolis.

Peck, a plumber, complained to the Board of Works yesterday that the In diana Paving Company refused to grant him permission to cut into the pavement of West Second street in order to repair a burst water pipe.

In the Federal Court yesterday two judg ments were rendered against the city of Evansville for interest on bonds which was allowed to be defaulted. In 1SS8 the city Jj ed 300 bonds In the sum of $1,000 each tw a subscription to the Evansville, Men derfon & Nashville railroad. These bonds were to run for thirty years, and on them interest was to be paid semi-annually. Wil liam S, Dennett, of Portland, Me., owns forty of these bonds, on which the last semi-annual installment of interest, amounting to $1,400, has not been paid. though It has been due since May 1. Dennett also owns twoof the three hun dred $1,000 bonds issued as a subscription to the Evansville, Carmi & Padueah railroad in 1870, and due De 1, 1S95. The last pay ment of interest, .amounting to $210, was not paid at maturity.

Three months ago the Goldstein and Sol omon families, of ; Massachusetts avenue, aired their differences in several of the jus tices' courts, It began over the arrest of the eight-year-old son of Joseph Goldstein at the instigation of David Solomon. The latter is a shoemaker at 141 Massachusetts avenue. The case came up in the court of Justice Hay, where it was shown that the Goldstein boy had, On numerous occasions, provoked Solomon and his wife by calling them names and interfering with them in their work. On one occasion Solomon caught the boy and gave him a shaking and the boy then secured a baseball bat and struck Mrs. Solomon with it several times. For this he was arrested and fined $1 and costs. The father of the boy stayed the fine, which, with costs, amounted to about $20. for ninety days, and the boy was allowed to go home. Monday the time for paying tlif fine expired, and a constable was sent to the home of Goldstein to collect it, but was unable to do so. The boy was then taken from school and to the county jail, where he was kept until Tuesday, and again re leased. " The Imprisonment of the boy, and es pecially the act :of the constable in taking him from school, has caused more or less cemment and some adrerse criticism. One citizen, in a communication to the Journal, denounced the action 'of Justice Hay as an outrage and one. of flagrant heartlessnesh. He said the parents of the boy were tor poor to pay the fine. Justice Hay wa asked yesterday about the case. He said the boy was about as mean as the mean est, and that as the quarrel involved botl his parents and the Solomons, he felt tha; a fine which the. boy" tv parents would hav to nay would -be just.--. vS hc-n the fine wa.s stayed, he said, it was the agreement that Goldstein should pay $5 a week until it wa? settled, but he had not paid anything, and the boy was sent to jail to force the par ents to settle. "In the first place, said Justice Hay "when the complaint was made against tin boy I declined to. issue the warrant, anC. sent the constable to his parents, but thes did not seem to care what the boy did. and made no effort to stop him. Solomon came again and again, and finally the boy was arrested. It .was the only thing that could be done. The evidence was con clusive, and there was nothing to be dont but to impose a fine. "Since then the ooicistems nave naa boi- omon arrested, end he has been fined ir several justices' courts for his part in the case. The boy's parents ought to be mad to pay the fine assessed against the boy h this court. They are simply taking ad- vantags of the fact that, on account of hb extreme youth, he will not be compelled t serve it out. The case was really as mucl against them as the boy, but as he was th defendant, the nne was imposeu upon nm He was sent to jail Monday, but as th parents did not seem to care enough for hi release to pay the fine, I released him myself." MR. FELLER'S HUMILIATION. Unusual Circumstance for Which H Demands .$ 5,000. John Feller wants., the Citi2ens' Street Railroad Company to -pay him $3,000 as i compensation for his humiliation. He al leges that on Saturday he boarded a trailer car at Meridian and Washington streets to go to the fair grounds. The car proceeded only two squares when some accident dis abled the trailer, and the passengers on it were told it would liay'e to go to the barn, and they should board the motor car. Mr. Feller had already paid fare for himse and wite and two children. He left the trailer, but found there was not stand ing room on the motor car. He then re turned to the trailer and asked that the conductor give him transfer tickets or other evidence of having naid his fare so he could take another car to the fair grounds. The conductor refused to do this, and Feller and his family remained on the trailer. Some time after another motor car came up behind the trailer and pushed it to the Collegs-aven'ie barn.

Thereafter A was ad judged insane and his guardian obtained a judgment against B and C for the pur chase money, which was declared a ven dor's lien on the property, subject . to the mortgages executed by B and C; and the guardian purchased the land at the sale on the decree and during the year for re demDtion A died, whereupon the sheriff conveyed the land to the heirs of A. which included B and C and others. Afterwards the mortgages executed by B and C were foreclosed and the property purchased by the mortgagees, but an administrator of the estate of A having been appointed he redeemed the land with the money of the estate from the last mentioned sale, but neither of the sums was paid to the estate; subsequently a partition was had among the heirs of A, which resulted in part of the south half being set off to a part' of said heirs as tenants in common, subse quently a partition was had by the heirs of the property set off to them and anerwaras by an exchange of property i a certain amount became vested in C and his wife and B conveyed his interest to E, F, G and H, but before the first partition G and H mortgaged their undivided interest to an other person.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE. Bryan. Managers Unhappy and Don't Know What to Do. New York Special In Chicago Post. The Democratic managers were called to gether to-day to meet the most serious crisis of the campaign. The reports that were brought to candidate Bryan could not have been gloomier. Thev reflected a con dition of almost utter demoralization in the Popocratic party in all the close Spates and a total extinction of hope in Uhe East. This unhappy condition of affairs was plain ly discussed at the meeting of managers, and the facts were stated to Mr. Bryan by Chairman Jones at an early morning ses sion without embellishment or without any attempt at sugar coating the truth. When Bryan met some of the leaders at Washing ton ten davs ago he had no time to listen to any statement of campaign details, but the managers decided that he would have to take time now, and so they came on to New York in force and held him up In or dep to pump some facts into him that It was necessary for him to know. Then after they were through with Mr. Bryan the managers got together in the Fifth avenue Hotel and tried to figure out how they could raise some money. The commit tee are behind about $100,(KK) and are with out credit to do further business. The free silverites of the mountain States are not coming forward with their contributions alleging that the Democrats have not acted in good faith in fusion deals, and that they vrill not put up any more cash when it ap pears to them to be a foregone conclusion that they are to be unfairly treated, taking what has been done and Is being done as an indication of future performance. The Bryan managers had expected to receive large amounts from the silver miners, but the bolting free-silver Republicans, Dubois Cannon, Mantel and others, have side tracked the silver flow and diverted a part of it into Idaho and into sections of the country where they are directly and per sonally interested. Mr. Sewall was expected to do great things for the cash end of the campaign and he .was raked over the coals - to-day for failing to "ccme down with the stuff !' bewail has been subjected to very frigid treatment by Chairman Jones and "his col leagues rn the committees, and his posi tion made as uncomfortable as possible Mr. Sewall has given Mr. Lryan assurance that he will withdraw even at this late day if he (Bryan) deems it best. During Mr. Bryan's visit to Maine Mr. Sewall gave him virtual power of attorney to withdraw him if he saw fit. After his several grand stand declarations of Jovaltv to Mr Sew all the "Boy Orator" hesitated to take ad vantage of his running mate's seif-sacritic-ing generosity. It has not been- settled however, that Mr. Sewall will not with draw, and it is among the possibilities that , action to that effect wi'l result from tc-day's conference. No public an nouncement to that effect has been made but there Is no doubt about the matter having been discussed in all Its bearings It is being urged that Sewal'.'s retention -on the ticket cannot do any possible good and that his withdrawal might be the sal vation of Bryan. Trim" Watson's persistence in harping on the bad faith of the Democrats and their treacherous disregard of the terms of the St. Louis bargain, which he insists involved the complete fusion on a Demo crat for President and a Popuiist for VI e President. Is worrying the Bryan mana gers bevond measure. His frequent and noisy ebullitions of protest egainxt bein sold out. and his determination that the PopuMstlc world and all the rest of the world shall know that the Populists are getting outrageously "left" by the' Kharp tradmg Democrats has aroysed n enin. hot revolt an-ong the Ponulistic ' voting inrt.t- wuiwi win nui De stuied or drowned out.

Penn St. Tel. 018. both Sewall and Watson withdraw, and seme one satisfactory to both and to the jangling factions be named as a com promise vice presidential candidate. This suggestion was well thought of. but it was explained that overtures to that end had already been made to Watson and rejected by him. Watson's position is that he is the product of a bargain entered into at St. Louis and ratified on the one side by the full Populist convention and by Chair man Jones on the other, whereby he was to receive the support of all parties, and he insists on the performance of the terms of the contract. Nothing short of Sewall's withdrawal will placate him. and he an nounces that a settlement of the aiatter must be made, if at all, upon terms that do not involve his own sacrifice. Watson does not care what happens, so long as it does not happen to him, and he has made his stand fairly plain by this time. Mr. Sewall has no appetite for sMf-sne-rifice. either, and so indicated to-day. He complained that he was a much misunder stood party and that he was under no pledge to give extravagant sums to the national committee. If the Chicago con vention had wanted him for that purpose it was an error of the convention's judg ment for which he should not be held re sponsible. This sort of argument affords Sewall self-justification for constricting his purse strings, but it did not noticeably raise the temperature about the conference room. The vice presidential candidate wears his fur-lined overcoat closely but toned under his chin on this visit to New York, although straw hats have not all been called in. being still seasonable on the East Side. Besides a bankrupt treasury, a credit stretched beyond the cracking pointi 25 ;er cent, of the two million Populists in open revolt and a campaign organization that is going to pieces like a huge raft on the rn st of an angry freshet, the Bryan manne rs wore brought face to face with the further unpleasant fact that the workingmm who seemed to be pointing toward the free-silver camp have turned about face and ;sre making for the sound-money tents in countless numbers. Mr. Bryan persists that the workingmen are with him. but those in charge of the practical details know better. They know of the heavy campaigning and effective work that has been done among the wage earners v,v took the liberty of communicating the truth to the candMate. , The Bryan managers rrtni fViit ihrv met here to-day to arrange the rest of the il 3, lunerary, but that Is the least of their troubles and the least nf h.ir con cerns.
