State Rou rtl Will Proceed to Make Up
the List To-Day.
E. P. Bieknell, secretary of the State
Board of Charities, returned home yester
day from Toronto, where he had been in
attendance upon the international congress
of charities and correction. “Year by
y'ear,’’ said he, “the work of this congress
develops and grows more Instructive and
the meetings are more largely attended.
The care of the dependent and criminal
classes is a science that is in its infancy,
though it has developed with w'onderful ra
pidity' during the past few y'ears. In fact,
we are just beginning to learn how to care
for those who have already become depend
ent or stand in need of correction and the
study of how to prevent them from becom
ing paupers or criminals is almost purely
speculative as yet, but interested in the
work are many of the best minds in the
country, men who, after making a success
in life by their brain force, are turning
their attention to philanthropy, as well as
those who devote their lives to this kind
of work ns a profession. Every one of
these gathering is productive of an ex
change of thought and experience that
helps greatly in the work of prison reform,
of scientific charity and of the care of
those who, through natural infirmities, are
dependent upon the state.”
Superintendent Geeting has been anxiously
awaiting the return of Mr. Bieknell in or
der that they might get together as the
State Truancy Board and make out the
list of truant officers for the State. This
work wiil be taken up to-day. They have
recommendations from all the city and
county superintendents of the State and the
necessary data to proceed rapidly with the
work. There will be about 275 appoint
ments made. The truant officers will draw
$2 per day.

It was learned yesterday that the four
small boys who were found drunk Sunday
evening were guilty of housebreaking and
petty larceny. The boys at first claimed
that a man had given them w hisky out of a

by the relatives of the boys and if the
man who supplied them with whisky had
been found he w : ould have been handled
roughly.
Yesterday tho boys were rearrested and
charged with stealing the whisky which
made them drunk. One of tho boys told
the story. He said they pried open a win

whisky. They drank one of them and hid
the other under a culvert on South Ala

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1897.
FAST FREIGHT SERVICE
. ♦
TRAIN'S NOW RUN ON FORMER PAS
SENGER TRAIN SCHEDULES.
—
Criticism of Railway Inspection
Methods—Ruling u* to Shipments
of Perishable Freights.
“But few business men,” said a represent
ative of one' of the fast freight lines, “real
ize what the fast freight service now fur
nishes for them in the matter of receiving
goods with dispatch. When I entered this
service passenger trains were not run faster
than are our fast freight trains now. When
I commenced eighty-four to ninety-two
hours were considered good time. Now the
Union line, the Merchants' Dispatch and
some of the other lines deliver goods in
Indianapolis in forty-five hours, and one
of the Union line trains has been changed
recently to make the run from New Y'ork
to Indianapolis in forty-four hours and fif
teen minutes. Equally good time is made
by the north-and-south lines. It is but a
few years that the time of passenger trains
between Nashville and Chicago was thirty
six hours, the time the fast freight trains
are now scheduled, and for years the sched
ule time of passenger trains between In
dianapolis and Chicago was ten hours, the
scheduled time of the freight trains by
either of the three lines, and to St. Louis
twelve hours was for many years the
schedule of passenger trains, and either line
with its fast freight service now' covers the
distance in. twelve hours, and often in less
time. It is but two years since the faster
freight service began, and the time under
the faster schedules has been made as read
ily as under the slower, and, if anything,
there has been a greater exemption from
accident than with other freights, one rea
son being that for these fast runs the better
class of cars are selected, and as much
of the train as safety requires is equipped
with air brakes, so that there is less time
required to stop a train. The question now
is, alas the highest rate of speed for freight
trains been attained? The tendency is now
for heavier and faster locomotives, and for
that reason I shall not be surprised if the
time of freight is cut down to thirty-six
hours, New York to Indianapolis.”
“One tiling,” said J. o. Hicks, general
yardmaster of the Big Four at this point,
“that has greatly expedited the movement
of Heights is the dispatch with which the
trains are handled at divisional or terminal
points. At such a point as Indianapolis
formerly a freight train from the East was
from three to four hours getting through
the city, while now the train arrives at
Brightwood, the engine is detached and an
other engine of the St. Louts division is at
tached, and, if the train is properly made
up, there is no more delay than there is
in handling the through passenger trains
at the Union Station.”
Inspections of Railways.
While it may be all right for the officials
of a railroad to inspect two hundred or
three hundred miles of track in one day,
and they may be able to form some idea of
its condition, one of the great absurdities
is for the railroad commissioners appoint
ed by the State to inspect railroad proper
ties of such States to thing that thety can
inspect roads in the same manner and he
of any service to the State or be able to
discover the needs of the road. The Boston
Herald says:
"The w'riter remembers making a run
with the commissioner over a division of
the Fitchburg in 1890, when the indicator
ot the special car placed at the service of
the board showed a speed of tifty-four miies
an hour over the greater part of the route.
Ilieve had been no rain tor several days
and the dust and the smoke from the en
gine swirled into the vacuum at the rear
of the train, where the commissioners were
stationed, in such a cloud us to limit the
range of vision to a few feet beyond the
platform. Y'et this trip constituted the legal
inspection of the road and gave the com
mission the only data it had of the physical
condition of the line. It may be that the
commission s sensitive nerves are capable
of detecting imperfections in the roadbed
while going at this rate of speed, thereby
making it unnecessary to examine the rails
tiie the ties, the fishplates, the frogs and the
spiking in detail. However, the commis
sion does the best it can, the fault being
with the law.”
When the railway commissions w'ere first
appointed in the old States the present rapid
development had not been looked for, but
with the great increase in railway mileage
the position has become a more important
one. and now' to steam railroads must be
added the rapidly increasing electric lines,
and the powers of railway commissions w’ili
doubtless be extended to cover them. It
is evident that in the future experts in in
specting tracks will be necessary, and more
time must be devoted to this special work.
Rate t utting the Fashion.
There is trouble again among the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines and again It is the ac
tion of the Soo line that has caused it. Up
to this time the Soo line has refrained from
making any effort to secure any of the Chi
cago-St. Paul business, but now the time
has come when it has arrived at the con
clusion that the business is a good thing
to have and it has made rates which it
thinks will bring it the traffic. The regu
lar one-way rate between Chicago and St
laul and Minneapolis is $11.50, and the Soo
has made a round-trip rate of sl4. The
rate of the Soo is applicable to Mackinac
and Dike Michigan to Chicago over a
route that is nearly double the length of
the all-rail routes. The Great Western has
announced that it will meet the Soo rate
over its all-rail line, and the other roads
will be compelled to follow suit. It is not
expected that the Soo line will secure any
considerable portion of the business, but
its action makes tow' rates certain between
Chicago and Minneapolis and St. Paul and
has aroused no end of resentment among
the all-rail lines.
The Wabash has announced that it will
make low rates for several military en
campments in the East, the low fares to
apply from the Eastern committee territory
of the Western Passenger Association. The
other roads will make the same rates. Two
cents a mile will be the rate.
Duties of Receivers.
The Mercentile Trust Company, of Balti
more, as trustee under the mortgage of 1887
on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, yesterday filed objections at
Baltimore to the Issuance of the $2,345,550
in receivers’ certificates recently asked for
by the receivers for the purpose of pur
chasing new' rolling stock for the svstem.
The main points in the objection are that
the receivers have no right to improve the
line, their duty being merely to maintain it
as they found it; that the new equipment
is not needed on the main line and that
it is not equitable to pay for it out of
the revenues from that portion of the sys
tem, thereby endangering the payment of
interest on the mortgage for which the ob
jector is trustee. ______
East-Bound Shipments.
East-bound shipments from Chicago
last week were 51.921 tons against
54.969 for the preceding week and
52,740 for the corresponding week of
last year. The roads carried tonnage as

4,463; Lake Shore. 4,797; Fort Wayne, 6,800;
Panhandle. 6.724: Baltimore & Ohio, 2.541;
Grand Trunk, 7.710; Nickel-plate, 10,029;
Erie, 5.099; Big Four. 1.691. Shipments were
made up of the following articles: Flour
and millstuffs, 2.931: grain. 17,939; cured
meats, etc., 13.101; dressed beef, 9,571; mis
cellaneous, 8.470.

The Erie Railway Company is building at
its shops one hundred produce cars of new
design, constructed to handle this class of
business with greater dispatch and at less
expense.
A. W. Van Frank, formerly an engineer
of maintenance of w r ay on the Erie lines,
with headquarters at Dunkirk, has ac
cepted a position with the Columbus, San
dusky Tv Hocking Valley.
On Sunday the Chesapeake & Ohio turned

ficials, which includes all the Indianapol
itans, will hold its annual meeting at De
troit to-day. A number of local railroad
men left last night to attend the meeting,
which will last two days or more.
The Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City
earned in the first half of the month of
July $77,628.01, against $79,761.77 in the cor
responding w'eek of 1896, a decrease this
year of $2,133.76. Comparisons are now made
with weeks after the business of the road
began to improve last year.
The Wagner Palace Car Company, which
gives employment to 850 men, announces
that it is so pressed with work that it will
not, as usual, close the w'orks for a month
during the hot weather. The management
say this is the best season the company has
had for years. Its monthly pay roll is now
$45,000.
A veteran in the service on the Vandalia
said last night that he had never known
the business on that road to be handled
with its present dispatch and with as little
friction as at present. He said the present
management is energetic, shows a disposi
tion to be fair, and there were no favorites
in any branch of the service.
Monon Engine 112, just received from the
Brooks locomotive works, was placed in
service yesterday, hauling the fast express
trains between Indianapolis and Chicago,
and attracted a good deal of attention. Ex
pert mechanics who examined it spoke of it
as being one of the best locomotives w'hich
has been run into Indianapolis.
D. B. Martin, passenger traffic manager
of the Baltimore & Ohio; John Chesbor
ough, general passenger agent of the Balti
more & Ohio Southwestern; and D. G. Ed
wards, passenger traffic manager of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, are ob
servers of th’e Sabath as far as possible.
Neither of them, nor their clerks, are al
lowed to be in the offices on Sunday.
The Carnegie Steel Company has closed
a contract with the Pittsburg, Bessemer &
Lake Erie to carry a minimum yearly ton
nage of 1.000,000 tons of ore at a net rate
of 53 cents per ton for the haul from the
lakes to the Carnegie works. The contract
is for twenty-live years, and is to be in
creased w r hen possible, but never to go low'-
er than the minimum. General Manager
Odell says one locomotive will haul forty
cars to each train without trouble.
Without any bluster the management of
the Peoria & Eastern has been relaying
its system of tracks at the MoorefieM
yards and putting in additional tracks until
the yard trackage is 14 8-10 miles, and so
systematically arranged that the yard men
say it is one of the best yards in the coun
try. The improvements have been made
largely at the suggestion of J. A. Barnard,
general manager of the road. If business
improves as expected Manager Barnard
says he will build anew roundhouse on the
west side this fall or in the early spring.
As usual at this time of the year, the
board of managers of the Joint Traffic As
sociation has made a complete readjust
ment of class schedules on freights from
Southern points to Eastern shippers, which,
although important to shippers, does not
affect rates. It has. been decided that no
stopping in transit, under storage, of but
ter, eggs and dressed poultry is permissible
under through rates. Such consignments
must be charged local rates, and a rule has
Been established that the expenses or stop
ping to reice perishable freights from the
West must be specified.
The achievements of the new flyer of the
Atlantic City Railroad, which now ’enjoys
the distinction of being the fastest train in
the world, goes to show the possibilities of
modern engineering. The • locomotive is
know'n as No. 1027, and is one of the two
engin’es turned out March, 1896. It is a
Vauclain compound, with four driving
wheels, two pilot and two trailing w'heeis.
The driving wheels are eighty-four inches
in diameter. The w’eight of the locomotive
without th’e tender is 141,000 pounds. The
grate area is seventy-six square feet and
the heating surface 1,835 square feet.
Holders of certificates of Atlantic & Pa
cific Railroad 4 per cent, guaranteed gold
trust bonds met at New \ T ork yesterday
and authorized the reorganization commit
tee to enter into an agreement for the sale
of the $2,794,000 central division first mort
gage 6 per cent, bonds of the Atlantic
& Pacific Company now' in possession of
the committee. The terms of the sale are
$300,000 cash and $1,500,000 of the St. Louis
& San Francisco Railroad 5 per cent, bonds
secured by a mortgage on the division. The
stock represented at the meeting of certifi
cate holders amounted to $16,341,000 and the
vote was unanimous.
The big railroad scandal in connection
with the Fitchburg road, published in the
Journal of yesterday, excited more than
ordinary interest from the fact that a num
ber of the officials of that road are Western
men. W. D. Ewing, the general superin
tendent. was with the Mackey lines a num
ber of years, and Clarencfe Anthony, whose
death occurred last Thursday—he being
auditor of that road—was formerly auditor
of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville; A.
S. Crane, general freight agent of the
Fitchburg road, was general freight agent
of the Chicago & Atlantic when V. T. Ma
lott was its receiver. It is not probable
that Mr. Ewing has any connection with
the scandal, and, in speaking of Mr. Crane
last evening, Air. Malott said he could not
believe that he would take part in any
crooked transaction.

Memory.
When I remember something which I had,
But which is gone and I must do without,
1 sometimes wonder how 1 can be glad,
Keen in cowslip time when hedges sprout;
It makes me sigh to think on it—but yet
My days will not be better days, should I forget.
When I remember something promised me.
But which 1 never had, nor can have now.
Because the promiser we no more see
In countries that accord with mortal vow;
When I remember this, I mourn—but yet
My i appier days are not the days when I forget.
—Jean Ingelow.
LAND MONEY CANNOT BUY.
Trinity Corporation anil Some of the
Property It Holds.
New' York Herald.
The Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of Trin
ity parish, New York city, tells the Church
Economist that many offers had been made
to the Trinity corporation to purchase the
old St. Paul’s churchyard on Broadway,
between Fulton and Vesey streets, for bus
iness purposes. Several years ago the Stock
Exchange tried to buy it, and more recent
ly a great railroad corporation made ad
vances for the property. “But it will not
be sold,” said Dr. Dix. “at least not while
the persons now in control of Trinity's af
fairs are alive. No valuation in dollars and
cents has ever been placed on this property.
It is prized and guarded from a sentiment
of reverence and love.”
This remark of the distinguished rector
of Trinity, says the Church Investor, is
significant, in view of the suggestion ad
vanced at a recent assembling of clergy
men in this city that “if Trinity would
dispose of some of its valuable unpro
ductive property it would be enabled to en
large its held of usefulness,” especially in
the matter of helping other churches.
More than sixty Protestant Episcopal
churches in this country received
financial aid from Trinity corporation, and
it has come to be regarded as quite the
proper thing that whenever a church of
that denomination runs into debt it shall
turn to Trinity for help. Trinity’s income is
believed to be $500,000 a year, and a large
portion of that amount goes in annuities
to other churches and to educational insti
tutions.
It has always been the custom of Trinity
to extend a helping hand to struggling
churches by carrying a mortgage on the
property without interest. For illustration,
a small Episcopalian congregation buys or
builds a church worth $50,000. The mem
bers are able to pay perhaps two-thirds
that amount down. Trinity comes to their
relief by advancing tin- necessary SIO,OOO and
taking a mortgage, on which, howiver, the
rich corporation never exacts interest. The
lien is only recorded in order to preserve
Trinity's equity in the. property in case
its use for church purposes ceases.
The fact that there are so many poor
churches in need of financial aid is prob
ably responsible for the renewal of the
suggestion that Trinity might greatly in
crease its revenues by putting the historic
and valuable block occupied by St. Paui's
to some commercial use. The city as
sessors, in placing a pro forma valuation
upon that particular piece of property,
made an estimate of $1,750,000. It would
probably bring much more than that at
an open sale. Trinity Church and church
yard, opposite the head of Wail street, on
Broadway, is valued by the city officials at
$4,000,000. That makes nearly $6,000,0u0 of
unproductive prop* rty in the financial cen
ter of the metropolis,
