HARRIS'S LOVE OF POKER.
Wouldn’t Quit the Gnme to Insure Hi*
Return to the United States Senute.
St. Louis Republic.
“The best poker player Tennessee ever
developed Is dead,’’ suitl Maj. A. 1.. Tread
way, of Memphis. “I refer to Senator
lshuin Green Harris, w ho died at Washing
ton Thursday. I knew the old statesman
intimately for more than forty years, and
I never heard of his getting up from a
poker game a cent loser, lie loved the
great American game as much as he loved
politics. Few evenings slipped by during
the last forty years when he didn’t indulge
his fondness for the sport if it was at all
possible to make up a game, lie never
played for high stakes; 25 rents was usually
the limit of his games, and he was never
known to go over 50 cents. He used to de
clare that poker was essentially a gentle
man's‘game, but that when it was played
for high stakes too severe a strain was put
on gentility for the good of both the play
ers and the gnme.
"Senator Harris, you know, looked more
like a Chinese mandarin than a Caucasian,
and he seemed to lie proud of it. It was
probably his wonderfully immobile face
that made him such a successful poker
player. 1 have watched him by the hour
while playing, and i never once saw the
least change of expression on his face.
When he was last elected to the Senate in
January. 1895, the opposition made a big
demonstration to frighten him. He hurried
from Washington to Nashville and assumed
personal direction of his forces. The papers
said so much about the tight being made
on him that I became frightened, quit my
business and went up to Nashville to help
him out. When I arrived there 1 hurried to
his room in the Maxwell House and found
him playing poker. I tried to get him to
quit the game long enough to tell me what
tne situation was so 1 could proceed intelli
gently and with some system. He dismissed
me rather curtly with the assurance that
he would see me in two hours. When the
two hours were up 1 went back to his room
and he was opening jackets with the same
interest he displayed at tirst. I sat behind
him and told him of what appeared to me
to be some dangerous inroads the opposi
tion were making on him and urged him
with all the force at my command to get
to work and checkmate his enemies.
“Finally he turned on me impatiently and
said: 'Treadway, these fellows are the best
poker players I have run up against since
the wiir, and 1 would not quit this game
while 1 am loser to be sent back to the
United States Senate,’ ‘How much are you
loser?’ I inquired. The senator counted his
chips carefully, and then said: T am 35
cents behind now and was only 20 cents
behind when you came back. You have
bothered me so much with your talk that I
haven't been able to keep up with the
game as 1 ought to. The sooner you get
out of here the sooner I’ll get even. Then
I’ll see what my enemies are doing.’
“The game went on all that night with
out interruption, and It was nearly break
fast time before the senator got even. He
showed up in the dining room looking as
fresh and vigorous as if he had had a good
night’s rest, and devoted the entire day to
Biraightening out the senatorial tangle. At
night he got the same party in his room
again, and they resumed their game with
the eagerness of gamblers playing for high
stakes. I learned afterward that during
the entire series of games not as much as
$5 changed hands.
Didn’t Look in tlx- Right I’lace.
New York Evening Sun.
It was her tirst appearance in a bicycle
suit, and as she stepped off the piazza
whom should she meet but one of her men
friends. “Why. Miss Blank 1 should hard
ly know you,” he cried. ’’Shouldn't you?"
she said. "Maybe you might if you were to
look at my face.’’

AN INCREASED TONNAGE
A HANDSOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE
MOVEMENT OF LOADED CARS.
Increase In I’nnliiinillr Earnings—'The
Different Factions of the 11. & O.
Reach an Understanding.
The train records show? that in the week
ending July 17 there were received and
forwarded at Indianapolis a total of 25,640
cars, 17,201 being loaded. While the luaded
car movement was not at its maximum,
there were handled at this point last week
3,095 more loaded cars than in the week end
ing July 10, 1.577 more than in the corre
sponding week of 1896 and 555 more than
in the corresponding week of 1895, which
indicates that there has been a marked im
provement in business with the Indianapolis
lines in the last few days. The movement
of empty cars was the largest ever known
in arty one week. The principal Increase
was with the Cincinnati division of the Big
Four, which, during the week, gathered up
on its lines 2.335 empty cars to turn over
to the Chesapeake & Ohio to be loaded with
coal. As the w r eek advanced there was
quite a call for cars to load with the new
wheat crop, which has begun to move to
Toledo and seaboard in considerable quan
tities. The cooler weather permitted the
moving of live stock, and never before In
a summer month has the live stock move
ment been as large as at present. Ship
ments of hard wood, veneering, hides and
produce were much heavier eastward than
in the pecedlng week. West-bound tonnage
was hardly as heavy as In the week ending
July 10, especially in sugars, the market
having become more quiet. North-and
south roads last week did a good business.
The Louisville division of the Pennsylvania
lines did the largest business in months,
and the Mohon make® an unusually favor
ablo exhibit, as also does the Chicago di
vision of the Big Four. With all lines
there was a healthy’ volume of business
handled, and the week now entered prom
ises even better results. The Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton had quite a little spurt
In business in the shipment of grain to
Toledo, and so far as local lines are con
cerned the shipments of grain the present
week are likely to keep the roads busy. For
some time past the distribution of cars
has been going on. At the way stations of
the Indianapolis lines there is now a good
supply of cars, and should the weather be
favorable this week large shipments of
wheat are looked for, and an increase In
the shipments of corn from the cribs is .an
ticipated. Taken as a whole the outlook lor
Indianapolis lines is good for several
months to come. Below is given the car
movement for the week ending July 17, and
for the corresponding periods of 1896 and
1895:

Rig Grain Shipments Expected.
Long trains of empty freight cars have
rolled out of Kansas City for two weeks
and dropped off in twos, threes and fives on
sidetracks along the lines of the railroads
in Missouri, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma. These empty freight cars, of
which there are thousands, will be filled
with new 1897 wheat inside of four or five
weeks. A tremendous grain rush is ex
pected, and the best of management by
railroad officials will be needed to prevent
a huge grain blockade or a grain-car fam
ine Conservative estimates of crop statis
ticians place th’e yield of wheat for this
year in Kansas alone at 69,000,090 bushels.

The Needs of the Negro.
W. E. Du Bois, in the Atlantic.
The power of the ballot we need in sheer
self-defense, and as a guarantee of good
faith. We may misuse it, but we can scarce
do worse in this respect than our whilom
masters. Freedom, too, the long-sought, we
still seek—the freedom of life and limb, the
freedom to work and think. Work, culture
and liberty—all these we need, not singly
but together; for to-day these ideals among
the negro people are gradually coalescing,
and finding a higher meaning in the unify
ing ideal of race—the ideal of fostering the
trait and talents of the negro, not in oppo
sition to, but in conformity with, the great
er ideals of the American republic, in order
that some day, on America', soil, two world
races may give each to each those charac
teristics which both so sadly lack. Already
we come not altogether empty-handed;
there is to-day no true American music but
the sweet wild melodies of the negro slave;
the American fairy tales are Indian and
African; we are the sole oasis of simple
faith and reverence in a dusty desert of
dollars and smartness. Will America be
poorer if she replace her brutal, dyspeptic
blundering with the light-hearted but de
termined negro humility: or her coarse,
cruel wit with loving, jovial good humor,
or her Annie Rooney with Steal Away?
Simply a stern concrete test of the under
lying principles of the great republic is the
negro problem, and the spiritual striving
of the freedmen’s sons is the travail of souls
whose burden is almost beyond the measure
of their strength, but who bear it in the
name of an historic race, in the name of
this the. land of their fathers’ fathers, and
in the name of human opportunity.
The l*arty of Safety.
New York Sun.
The Republican party is the only party
upon \* hich any serious reliance can be
placed for overthrowing the Bryanized De
mocracy. The national banner of honest
money, domestic peace and order and in
dustrial safety has passed into Republican
keeping. It should be lowered nowhere
while the Chicago platform is unrepudiated,
for the sake of any organization whose aim
is to diminish the Republican vote or to
suppress the Republican name.
FRUIT GROWING CENTER
FIFTY FARMS WITHIN A FIVE-MILE
RADIUS OF INDIANAPOLIS.
About 150.000 Gallon* of Strawber
ries Ruined In This Territory This*
Season—Shipping to the North.
*
But few people are aware of the great
increase of fruit growing in this section.
Fifteen years ago there was not what could
be called a fruit-producing farm in the cen
tral part of the State. Now within a
radious of five miles there are fifty fruit
growers who raise fruit of all kinds on a
large scale and most of them have gone
into the business in the last five years.
The home and some of the adjacent mar
kets at certain times in the year are sup
plied by fruits raised near Indianapolis. On
these fruit farms are raised strawberries,
cherries, pears, currants, red and black
raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries,
grapes, plums and cantelopes on a large
scale,
George Blue probably has the largest
fruit-growing farm in this section, sixty
acres of ground being covered with trees
and vines and there is no fruit grower in
the State who raises as many pears and of
as fine varieties as his. The Blue Brothers
have one hundred acres, most of the land
being set oat with fruit trees and vines.
Schideler & Edwards have sixty acres of
ground in use for the same purpose. Then
north of the city are the fruit farms of
Messrs. Dye, Mustard, Tibbetts and Wal
ton, who are not quite so extensive fruit
growers as those named above, but all
raise large quantities of fruits. Then south
of the city are the fruit-growing farms of
M. Morgan, D. H. Merrill, A. Dunn, B. F.
Lyon, A. Dillingham, ti. M. Hendricks, W.
H. Walcott, J. Hendricks, W. A. Staples,
W. A. Holler, I. W. Swartz and S. Butler.
These fruit growers have from live to thir
ty acres of ground covered with various
kinds of fruit trees and vines and each
sells large quantities of fruits. One of the
larger of the fruit growers on Saturday
estimated, and he said his estimate was
certainly low, that 150,000 gallons of straw
berries were grown within a radius of five
miles of Indianapolis this season and fully
as large a quantity of red and black rasp
berries. The blackberry crop this season
from this section will reach 75,000 gallons.
One of the fruit growers says that usually
the raising of fruits pays a very good profit
but this year, so far as the small fruits
are concerned, so abundant were the crops
that the profits, if any, will be small. It
is too early to say how it will be with the
later fruits, apples and pears and plums.
This year some of the strawberries raised
near Indianapolis were shipped to northern
markets, anew move for Indianapolis fruit
handlers. For years Indianapolis depended
largely on Tennessee, Kentucky and Michi
gan for fruits and fpr the early and the
later supplies is now somewhat dependent
on these States, but with each year the
home fruit growers supply the market
earlier and later than the preceding year.
It is stated that no finer fruits are now
grown than those gathered in this section,
both in size and quality.
Industrial Notes.
The tomato canning establishments will
increase their forces this week, the home
crop just beginning to come on to the mar
ket.
The local packing houses are running to
their full capacity for summer months.
Kingan & Cos. last week averaged 4,2t0 hogs
a day.
One of the results of a good wheat crop
is its creating a great demand for grain
bags. Last week Murphy, Hibben & Cos.
sold over 100,000 gram bags, being the larg
est sales of any week in several years.
The Malleable iron works, which have
been shut down for a couple of weeks,
owing to the hot weather and to repair ma
chinery, will resume operations this morn
ing and the prospects are good for a brisk
fall business which will keep the men stead
ily employed.
In 1892 G. K. Shover, of this city, built
several wagons foi- hauling logs down the
mountains in South America. These wag
ons we*e built strong enough to bear up a
locomotive. Last week he received an order
for two more of these wagons to go to
South America.
Never in the history of the Indianapolis
stock yards have the yards in a summer
month handled as much live stock as in the
week ending July 17. Wednesday was the
banner day, when 165 carloads of stock were
handled at the yards, and on Thursday 132
carloads and Friday 140 carloads. The re
ceipts of hogs on Wednesday reached 13,000
head.
New wheat begins to come in in consid
erable quantities and this morning all the
local mills will be running about to their
full capacity. The Acme Milling Company
has started up both its mills and is turn
ing out 2,400 barrels of flour every twenty
four hours, and at the Hoosier and the Ar
cade mills the millers are pushing their pro
duction.
Many of the flouring mills erected by the
J. B. Allfree Company during the last few
years on their new gravity system are be
ing enlarged in capacity, as the superior
hour produced by this method is in greuter
demand than the mills can supply. This
company is also installing two seventy-five
horse power automatic engines in the Terre
Haute House.
On'Saturday the Indianapolis Stove Com
pany let the contract for its new foundry
which is to be erected in connection with
the buildings formerly occupied by the In
dianapolis cabinet works. One of the new
buildings, which is to be used as the foun
dry, will be 315 feet long by seventy-five
fee*t wide; another building will be sixty feet
long by thirty wide, and another building
seventy feet long by fifty wide. All are to
be constructed of brick. These three build
ings will be used for foundry, cuiola and
machine shops. The old buildings of the
Indianapolis cabinet works will be used for
erecting, plating, storage and display.

The Sugar Men I,one.
WASHINGTON. July 17.-The tariff bill
as agreed on to-day will, when made
public, present an entirely new sugar
schedule, at leiist in the main item of duty
on raw and refined sugar—the fourth pre
sented since the bill emerged from the re
cesses of the ways and means committee.
When the announcement of an agreement
was first made to-day the indications were
that the Senate hud surrendered every
thing in the sugar schedule to the House.
No one not in possession of all the facts
could see how it could be otherwise when
it was known that the House differential of
one eighth of a cent had been accepted and
the Senate provision for throwing off one
tenth of u cent on low grade sugars re
ceded from.
"You will discover,” said Senator Aldrich,
in discussing the matter among his col
leagues, "that the Senate saves something
after all, and that it is not a complete sur
render on our part.”
The wording of the paragraph which fol
lows shows that he was right:
"Sugars not above No. 16 Dutch standard
in colors, tank bottoms, syrifps of cane
juice, melada. concentrated melada, con
crete and concentrated molasses testing by
the poiariscope not above 75 degrees, 95-MO
of 1 cent per pound, and for every addi
tional degree shown by the polariseopic test
SVi-100 of 1 cent per pound additional, and
fractions of a degree in proportion, and on
sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard in
color, and on all Sugar which has gone
through a process of refining, 125-1000 of 1
cent per pound additional."
It will be observed that the modification
of the sugar schedule still leaves the rate
on pure sugar testing 100 degrees at 1.95
cents per pound, which w’as the Senate rate.
The differential on refined sugar is, how
ever, one-eighth of a cent per pound, while
the Senate differential was one-fifth. The
House also secured the elimination of the
one-tenth of a cent reduction allowed on
jaggary and other low grade sugars test
ing below 87 degrees by the poiariscope.
It is claimed that the increase on the higher
grades of sugar which will result from the
increase of the poiariscope gradation al
lowance will add materially to the protec
tion to the beet sugar mdustry. The re
finers necessarily receive incidental benefit.
It is estimated that the changes in the
sugar schedule will raise about $2,000,000 ad
ditional revenue. Following are among the
more important changes made in other
schedules:
Hides—ls per cent, ad valorem, in place
of the 20 per cent, fixed by the Senate. The
House representatives made a strong fight
to have hides restored to the free list, but
they wei*e compelled to submit to the un
yielding demand of the Senate.
Wool (as heretofore sent out)—First class,
11 cents per pound; second class, 12 cents
per pound; third class, 4 cents on that be
low 12 cents per pound in value and 8 cents
on that above 12 cents in value. These
rates on third-class wool were the result
of an agreement between the wool growers
and the carpet manufacturers.
Ore— iy 2 cents per pound; pig lead,
2Vi c4lts, the Senate rates.
Iron Ore—Same as fixed by the Senate.
Coal—Bituminous, 67 cents per ton.
Tobacco—sl.7s per pound on imported
wrappers. This is the Senate rate. It is
also understood that the action of the Sen
ate in striking out the internal revenue pro
visions on tobacco, leaving the existing law
in force, was accepted by the House con
ferees.
Cyanide of Potassium— per cent. This
is the Senate rate, the House rate being 25
per cent. The reduction was demanded by
the gold miners of the West, cyanide being
largely used in the reduction of auriferous
ores.
Boracic Acid—s cents per pound, the Sen
ate rate. The Senate rate on borax was
also sustained, as was that on soda ash, the
rate being % of a cent per pound.
The Senate rates on all fruits are re
tained, including 1 cent per pound on or
anges, lemons, limes, etc. On walnuts the
House rhte of 3 cents per pound was re
stored, tfhe Senate having lowered this rate
to 2 y 2 cents.
White pine lumber was restored to the
House classification and the House rate of
$2 per thousand feet, instead of the Senate
rate of sl.
The reciprocity clause has been trans
formed into a modification of both the Sen
ate and House schedules—that is, the num
ber of articles which can be used as bases
for reciprocity agreements has been in
creased, but the President’s discretion as to
rates and the ratification of treaties by the
Senate, which was the main feature of the
Senate provision, has been rejected.
One of the biggest victories won by the
House was in the restoration to the dutia
ble list of burlaps, jute and jute bagging,
cotton bagging, gunny sacks, floor matting
and cotton ties, which the Senate placed on
the free list. While restored to the dura
bles list, however, the rates are lower than
they have ever been on this class of arti
cles.
Another victory of the House was in the
elimination of the Senate stamp tax on
bonds and stocks. It was decided that the
machinery of collection was too cumber
some.
Raw cotton is restored to the free list,
as originally fixed by the House. The Sen
ate, with the aid of some of the Demo
cratic senators, made cotton dutiable at 20
per cent.
Representative Dingley expresses the
opinion that the bill will be law and that
Congress will have adjourned a week from
to-day. The conferees are generally con
gratulating themselves on the result of
their work and the expedition with which
it has been accomplished. The McKinley
bill was in conference two weeks and after
a six weeks' struggle in conference the
conferees on the Wilson bill were compelled
to abandon all efforts at adjustment. Mr.
Dinglev. who was one of the conferees on
the McKinley bill, said that the problems
which the present conferees had to solve
were both more numerous and more impor
tant than those which confronted the con
ferees in 1890. Yet the present conferees,
by working night and day, sometimes as
high as fourteen hours a day, had com
pleted their task in less time than the con
ferees on the McKinley bill required. Mr.
Dingley appeared pleased with the result,
and spoke in high terms of the spirit the in
dividual conferees had displayed in their
deliberations. While there may have been
occasional flashes of irritation, he said,
there had been no manifestation of acri
mony.
The Democratic conferees are by no
means pleased with the transfer of such
items as cotton bagging, burlaps, floor
matting, etc., from the free to the dutiable
list, and express the hope to-night that
they may be able to reverse the conference
committee on these articles. They claim
to have the pledges of the Republicans who
assisted in making these articles free and
in reducing white pine that they will as
sist in forcing their restoration to the free
list, even to the extent of opposing the re
port. The Republicans, however, profess
to feel easy over the fate of the report,
and say that the worst they fear is delay
occasioned by long debate.
Col. F. Crocker Dend.
SAN MATEO, Cal., July 17.—Colonel
Crocker, vice president of the Southern Pa
cific Railway Company, died at his home
here to-night.
Charles F. Crocker, the California rail
road magnate, was a son of the late Charles
Crocker, whose connection with the grand
triumph of American enterprise and con
structive skill, the Central Pacific Railroad,
made his name famous the world over.
Charles F. Crocker was born in Sacramen
to, Cal., on Dec. 26, 1854. His ancestors
were of old New England stock, Daniel
Crocker having resided in Boston as early
as 1660, and others of the name were found
in several parts of Massachusetts. In 1668
Josiah Crocker married a daughter of Gov
ernor Hinekly. He was a soldier in the
Narragansett war in Rhode Island and died
in 1698. Some of his descendants went to
Albany, N. Y., about the middle of the last
century and eventually settled near Troy,
In that State. There Charles Crocker, the
father of Charles F., was born and spent
his early youth, but subsequently removed
to Marshall county, Indiana. In the spring
of 1850 he made the long and tedious journey
across the plains to California, arriving in
Sacramento in August of that year having
made tho trip from the Missouri river in
one hundred days. Nineteen years after
wards he made the same journey in one of
his own palace cars in as many hours. In
1852 he married Miss Mary A. Doming, a
Sacramento lady, who became distinguished
for her many noble and generous benefac
tions.
Their eldest son, Chailes F. Crocker, was
trained in his father’s school of industry
and accustomed from youth to active busi
ness habits. He received his early educa
tion in the excellent public schools of his
native city and was subsequently sent to
the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, N.
Y., where he applied himself so closely to
study, however, that his eyesight failed
and he was compelled to return home to
California in 1876. At the beginning of 1877
he entered the office of the division superin
tendent of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company as a clerk. In order to gain a
thorough practical knowledge of all the de
tails of railroad business he employed him
self in tho general freight office and other
departments untii. upon the death of Gen.
Colton he was called to the executive office
of the Central Pacific, where he assumed
the management of the Occidental and
Oriental Steamship Company’s affairs. In
October, 1878, he was elected third vice
president of the Southern Pacific Company,
being subsequently promoted to the second
vice presidency, and finally to the position
of first vice president under C. P. Hunting
ton.
Tho eider Crocker died in 1888, leaving an
estate valued at $25,000j0u0 or more. Half
of this went to his widow, who was made
executrix, and Jln,ono,L"X) to Mrs. R. V. Alex
ander, of New York, his favorite child, the
balance of the estate being divided between
Charles F. Crocker and William H. Crock
er. two of the sons, while George Crocker,
tne other son, %vus given simply the ad
vances made to him by his father during
his lifetime. Mrs. Crocker died In Octo
ber. 18*9. whereupon Chari** F. Crocker
came in for one-fourth of her estate, which
was then valued ut about $11,000,000. The

property, however, had been kept intact
after the death of the elder Crocker, and
the same policy was pursued by the heirs
after Mrs. Crocker’s death, all the interests
of the estate being formed into a peculiar
personal corporation under the name of the
Crocker Estate Company, the purposes of
which was stated to be to engage in con
struction. manufacturing, mining, mercan
tile, mechanical, banking and commercial
business in all their branches. The capital
stock was placed at $7,000,000, divided into
70,000 shares, of which Charles F. and Wm.
H. Crocker received 19,999 each and George
Crocker and Harriet V. Alexander 10,000
each, the remaining shares being allotted to
persons outside tho family to qualify them
for acting as directors of the company.
Charles F. Crocker’s interest in the faini.y
fortune, however, has been rapidly increas
ing under good management, and at the
time ol his death he was probably worth
quite as much as was his father at the time
of the latter’s death nine years ago.
Even before the death of the elder Crock
er his eldest son had been called practically
to the active management of the bout hern
Pacific Company by the absence of his
father in New York city and of Lt land
Stanford in Washington. The young man
displayed from the beginning of his active
railroad career executive and administra
tive ability of the highest order. He also
took an active interest in National Guard
affairs, and acquired the title of colon.-! by
service on the staff of Governor Perkins
with that rank. .. .
It is a singular coincidence that Air.
Crocker’s father and son alike met their
death through accident. The elder Crocker,
in April, 1886, was thrown from his car
riage while driving in New \ork city, sev
eral of his ribs being broken, in addition to
which he sustained a concussion of the
brain and other internal injuries. From
this accident he never fully recovered, and
his death in Monterey. Cal., in August, 1888,
was directly traceable to it. In October,
1890 the only son of Charles F. Crocker was
instantly killed by failing over the banister
in his father’s house in San Francisco. Tills
lad. who was under ten years of age at the
time of his death, would in time have in
herited the bulk of his father’s great for
tune.
Sheet Soule Signed.
PITTSBURG, July 17.—The sheet scale
was settled to-night at a conference be
tween the wage cominittw of the manu
facturers and the Amalgamated Associa
tion. Tho settlement was effected on the
basis of last year’s scale, and tho new one
is practically the same as before, only a
lew minor details being changed. Eight or
ten firms had signed before the conference
to-day and have had their mills at work
right along. Tin- effect ol' the settlement
to-night will put between 20,000 and. 25,000
men to work on Monday next.
There are twenty-nine sheet plants scat
tered throughout the Union, and all will
start next week as union mills. The man
ufacturers had a schedule for a reduction
of about 8 per cent., and the settlement on
last year’s basis is considered a victory
for the workers.
The only remaining Amalgamated scales
to be settled are the bar and puddling
scales. As the tin plate and sheet scales
have been agreed to on the workers’ terms,
the other two are expected to follow
shortly. The only reduction probable is 25
cents on the puddling scale.
