“My first appearance in tights,” says Jes
sie Bartlett Davis, “was a great deal more
serious for my mother than for me. It was
several years ago with the Mapleson Opera
Company in ‘Faust.’ I was the Slebel to
Adelina Patti’s Marguerite. My mother,
who usually accompanied me, stayed at the
hotel that night, and when I reached there
after the- performance 1 saw at once that
she had been crying. Indeed, there was a
sob in her voice as she greeted me with the
query: ‘Well, dear, how did it seem?’
•What?' I asked. ‘Why, to appear before
all those people in tights, of course,’ she
replied. ‘Well, I declare, 1 forgot I had
them on,’ 1 said. And that was really the
fact.”
Funeral of Mrs. John Drew.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. s.—Funeral serv
ices over the body of Mrs. John Drew were
held to-day in St. Stephen’s Episcopal
Church, and the aged and well-beloved
actress was interred in the family lot in
Gienwood Cemetery alongside the grave of
her husband, John Drew. The services at
the church were conducted by the Rev.
James Mi.ier, assistant rector, and con
sisted solely of the burial service. There
were no pallbearers, and at the grave the
reading of the committal service was the
only ceremony. At both services there
were large crowds in attendance. Promi

George Werner, the demented clerk of
Bartholomew county, who was taken to the
City Hospital Saturday night, left that in
stitution early yesterday morning, saying
he wanted to go out for a walk. The hos
pital people did not think it wise to restrain
him, and notified the police to watch for
him. During the morning some time lie
was taken to the jail and locked up. In
the opinion of the hospital physicians the
unfortunate man is suffering from paresis.
His friends will probably have him confined
in a private sanatorium.

SHOWS A BIG INCREASE
BUSINESS OF THE INDIANAPOLIS
PACKING HOUSES IS BOOMING.
How the Horse Market linn Grown—
Flour Output for Augaat—ln-
Mpeetion of Grain.
The business of the local packing houses
last month was without question the largest
of any August in the many years that In
dianapolis has been so important a packing
center. The local packing houses have av
eraged through the month of August about
4,000 hogs per day and 200 head of cattle.
This statement includes the business of the
Abattoir Company, the Gardner Packing
Company and Kingan & Cos. The latter is
shipping an average of thirty-live carloads
of hog products and dressed meats per day,
doing the heaviest summer business in the
establishment’s history. Since March 1, the
beginning of the summer packing season,
Indianapolis packers have killed 456,000 hogs,
against 385,000 during the corresponding live
months of 1896, The increase this year is
71,000 hogs. At the eighteen points which
report their packing there have been killed
since March 1 9,095,000 hogs, against 7,495,000
during the corresponding period of 1896, an
increase this year of 1,600,000 hogs. Another
important feature is that the average price
of hogs in Western markets in the month
of August was 11.15 per hundred pounds
higher than in August of last year, and
that good prices are to be maintained
through the fall months is very evident, as
export shipments of hog products are very
large, those of last week being 25,009,000
pounds, in round numbers, against 23,914,000
pounds# in the last week of August, 1896.
The Indinnupoliw Horse Market.
The horse market last month was much
of a surprise to the managers of the weekly
auction sales. Mr. Blair, of the firm of
Blair & Baker, says they had looked for
rather a quiet business and lower prices
last month, expecting the improvement to
commence in September, but as in other
lines of business, the improvement com
menced the first week of August and each
week showed an increased traffic over the
preceding one. At the two sale stables an
average of 520 horses was sold each week.
The stock yards report, which in some
measure voices the sale of the month,
shows that 1,952 horses were handled at the
yards, against 1,062 in August, 1896. Then
it should be borne in mind that a large
number of horses from the surrounding
country are driven in or led in in small
droves. But the improvement in prices for
horses was quite noticeable, a good horse
bringing 25 per cent, better price than a
•month ago, and for line steppers and good
carriage horses very nearly good-times
prices were paid. There is quite a demand
for heavy draft horses for the Eastern
markets. Last month there were numerous
buyers from the Eastern States and buyers
of horses for export, and the last two
weeks a number of Southern buyers have
been on the Indianapolis market, which is
giving a firmer tone to prices of the more
common horses, even affecting the price of
scrub horses favorably. There are a num
ber of export buyers now here, Blume &
Cos. and Levy Brothers buying for France,
Vervcake for England, and Watson & Cos.
for Scotland. On Tuesday and Wednesday
of each week these sales occur, and if one
wishes to see what a semi-weekly horse
sale is he will be well paid to visit the
sales stables. The sales usually call to
gether 300 to 400 people, including buyers
from all parts of the country and some
from foreign countries. Although it is but
three years since these semi-weekly v sales
were established, Indianapolis has become
one of the most noted horse and mule mar
kets in this country.
The Flour Output for Ausnut.
In the month of August the local mills
turned out 66,601 barrels of flour, against
55,586 in August, 1896. The capacity of the
mills is 95,000 barrels of flour per month.
From this it will be seen that the mills
turned out a little over two-thirds their ca
pacity. In the early part of the month
the millers found it quite troublesome to
get wheat of the grades required to keexi
their mills running and at no time during
the month did they have sufficient w heat to
run up to their fullest capacity. Then the
low price which flour commands and the
unsettled and excitable market for wheat
for several days caused local millers to
move with more than ordinary caution, as
most of the Indianapolis grain men are
bears on the wheat market.
Stock Yards Traffic.
In the month of August there were re
ceived at the Indianapolis stock yards 81,001
hogs, 18,903 head of cattle, 24,981 head of
sheep and 1,952 horses and mules. In the
three months ending Aug. 31 there were
handled at the yards 788,173 hogs, 90,794 head
of cattle, 63,694 sheep and 19,734 horses and
mules. During the month there arrived at
the yards 1,824 carloads of live stock, and
there were forwarded from the yards 850
carloads of live stock. For the three
months there were 26,485 fewer hogs han
dled this year than in 1896 and 17,106 fewer
head of sheep, while there was an increase
of 1,718 in the number of cattle handled
and 5,874 in number of horses and mules.
AngoNt Inspection*.
In the month the inspectors of the Board
of Trade inspected 500 carloads of wheat,
against 240 carloads in August, 1896, an in
crease this year of 260 cars. They inspected
1,006 cars of corn, against 936 cars in August,
1896, an increase this year of seventy cars;
oats, 128 carloads, against 229 last year, a
decrease the present year of 101 cars. Had
the inspections the first half of the month
been as heavy as the last fifteen days, the
increase would have been much more
marked in the number of cars of corn in
spected.
RESCUED HIS SISTER.
Young Girl from Cumberland Found
in an Evil IteNort.
A young man with a troubled counte
nance came to the police station last night
about 8 o'clock and said his sister, a young
girl aged about seventeen, was in the city
surrounded by immoral Influences. He led
the police to the house of Lizzie Howe, at
23 North East street, and there the girl
was found. She told the police she lived at
Cumberland and had come to the city on
the information of a girl friend, who prom
ised her she could get employment in a
restaurant. When she arrived here she
was taken to the house of the Howe
woman. She declared she had done no
w rong, and seemed glad to get away. The
proprietress, with another girl of tender
age, was brought to tne jail. The three
women were slated, but it was the inten
tion to place the Cumberland girl in charge
of the police matron.

RECORD-BREAKING WEEK
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT EX
CEEDED ALL PREVIOUS FIGURES.
The Vandalia and Bee-Line in the
Lead—Business of Local Lines in
August Heaviest in Years.
The train records show that the fifteen lines
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the
■week ending Sept. 4 a total of 26,528 cars, 21,186
being loaded, which was 92 more loaded cars than
have been bandied in any week of the twenty
five years these weekly exhibits have been pub
lished. and but three times in the period named
has the loaded car movement reached 21,000 cars.
It will be noticed that there were 1,309 more
loaded cars handled at this point tl an in the
last week of August, 3,023 more than in the cor
responding week last year, 3,827 more than in
1696, and going back to 1894 there were 4,393 more
loaded cars handled at Indianapolis than in the
corresponding week. Heavy traffic seems to have
fallen to ail the lines. The fact that the Van
dalia and Indianapolis & Vincennes make so fa
vorable exhibits when hauling no coal on account
of the miners' strike makes the heavy business
they are doing the more remarkable. It would
be difficult to designate in which direction traffic
is the heaviest. The Panhandle, for instance,
brought in 953 and forwarded 1,042 loaded cars.
The Vandalia brought in 1,174 and forwarded west
1,190 loaded cars, and the exhibits of the other
east-and-west lines are in much the same pro
portions. The Jeffersonville, Madison & Indian
apolis brought in 500 and forwarded 496 loaded
curs. The Chicago division of the Pennsylvania
lines brought in 319 and forwarded north 278 load
ed cars. There has been a marked increase of
late with the Pennsylvania and Eastern lines. As
for some weeks past, the shipments of grain to
tne Atlantic seaboard have been heavy, until
quite recently a large proportion ot grain for
export going via Newport .News and Baltimore,
but within the last ten days the shipments via
Cleveland and Butfalo have largely increased.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton Ac Dayton and the Lake
Krie Ac Western are still taking a good deal of
grain from this section for the Toledo and De
troit markets. Local business has reached a very
gratifying volume. Local Agents Fraser, Perry,
Evans, Rodney, Maxwell anu McNeely all report
business up about to that of the early nineties.
The platforms of city freight deiwts are crowded
and on the bulk tracks more cars are being load
ed and unloaded than at this time in some years.
The same remark will apply to private switches.
Below is given the car movement for the week
ending Sept. 4 and for the corresponding tieriods
of 1896 and 1895:

Big Consolidation Proposed.
The Cincinnati Enquirer announces that two
experts from New York are examining the records
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton Ac Dayton Railway
Ccmpany in the interest of the Thomas-Brice
syndicate. It is believed that the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton system, which includes the
Indianapolis & Toledo divisions, the Indiana, De
catur Ac Western, the Cleveland, Lorain &
Wheeling, and the Dayton & lronton Railways,
is to be consolidated with the Monon, the Lake
Erie Ac Western, the Cincinnati Northern, the
Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw and the Cleve
land. Akron & Columbus roads, which the
Thumas-Brice syndicate now owns. The Thomus-
Brice syndicate has already investigated the
physical condition of the road and it is believed
there will be an important deal announced after
the experts report on their return U> New York.
Pergonal, Loeal and General Note*.
M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four, has
returned to Hot Springs, W. Va., for a few days'
stay.
Joseph Ramsey, vice president and general man
ager of the Wabash, is taking a rest at Nan
tucket.
The Great Nor-hern is still hiring engineers off
of Eastern roads to go to work on its main line,
where the business is now enormous.
The Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg in the
last few days have been hiring a considerable
number ot additional firemen and brakemen.
in one railroad yard at Pittsburg on Saturday
morning there were standing on bulk sidetracks
over two hundred cars loaded with fruits and
vegetables.
It is stated that M. B. Cutter, late with the
Baltimore Ac Ohio, has been ottered a good posi
tion on the Pittsburg, Bessemer & Lake Erie,
under J. T. Odell.
Henry C. Hastings, who was buried at Mena
ville on Saturday, had been agent of the E:ie
road at that point for over forty years, commenc
ing when a very young man.
Business with the Eastern roads is beginning
to increase, i'he Lehigh Valley last week put in
service eighteen freight engines which had been
standing idle tor several months.
The amazing increase in traffic over the Balti
more and Ohio since Oscar Murray became prac
tically its head shows that the road has great
business cap Achy :f bandied ptoperly.
The Vandalia last week sold two of its freight
engines to the Nashville Ac Knoxville, and the,
old pay car engine No. 162 was sold to a New*
Orleans road. No. 8 is being put in order to sell.
The Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic bus ap
pointed T. Murdoch as its passenger official at
Baltimore, and J. S. Wilson as its freight official.
T. A. Joynes has been appointed purenasing
agent.
James McCrea, first vice president of the Penn
sylvania Company, who has been East resting tor
three weeks, will return to Pittsburg on S&turd&v.
J. T. Brooks, second vice president, has returned
from his vacation.
The Pennsylvania will this week commence the
building of some freight cars ol' 160,000 pounds ca
pacity. The result will be watched with interest
by mechanical engineers, who think 80,060 pounds
should be the limit.
In the month of August there were received and
forwarded at Indianapolis 112,866 cars, 87,504 being
loaded. In August, 1896, there were handled at
this point 79.426 loaded cars; in 1895, 80,723; in
1894, 84.285; in 1893, 69,395.
The Big Four is credited with having the fast
est scheduled trains west of the mountains, and
the patronage these fast trains receive is a dem
onstration of. the fact that the American people
are opposed to slow service.
A. J. Ratcliffe, who formerly represented the
Union Pacific at Indianapolis, but who, a, few
months ago, was transferred to Salt Lake City,
will this week come to St. Louis to look alter the
interest of the Union Pacific.
It is stated that at the prominent railroad
points in New York the scalping offices are not
attempting to do any business, but are spending
their time visiting and holding whispered con
versations, and all are very shy ot the newspaper
reporters.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Steamship Company,
which operates in the interests of tne Chesapeake
Ac Ohio lines, will add several steamers to its
ileet. The Rapidan, first ot the new purchases,
will arrive at Newport News in December and
will at once go into service.
The Chicago & Rock Island, which has been
using the tracks ot the Missouri, Kansas Ac Texus
to get into Galveston, has had trouble with the
Missouri, Kansas Ac Texas management, and will
hereafter turn its Galveston business over to the
Texas x. Pacific and the Houston Ac Texas Cen
tral.
The Bee-line division of the Big Four handled
at Indianapolis last week the largest business
in its history, receiving and forwarding 2,852 load
ed and 686 empty cars. For the four divisions 792
more loaded cars were handled at Indianapolis
than in the preceding week, an 1 1,885 more than
In the corresponding week of D96.
It is stated that the Illinois Central will have
a line of its own into Nashville, Tenn., within a
year. To reach that point the company will have
to build but seventy-eight miles, leaving ttieir
present line at Hopkinsville. Representatives of
the Illinois Central have been purchasing property
in Nashville to gain an entrance to that city.
The Vandalia in the week ending Sept. 4 han
dled the largest number of loaded cars at ln
diana)>olis In Its history, eclipsing the weekly
records when its coal traffic was at Its height,
demonstrating that in other classes of traffic the
business of the road lias so improved as to more
than offset its local coal traffic prior to the intro
duction ot gas at Indianajxjlis for fuel.
A few years ago the Pennsylvania Company,
which controls the Pittsburg, Fort Wavne A;
Chicago, began the work of laying a number of
sidings along this line, for a considerable dis
tance practically m iking it adt üble track Now
it is proposed to connect these sidings, ami from
this comes the report that the Fart Wayne is to
be double-tracked, which can now be accom
plished at a minimum cost.
In the month of August the receipts of the Rig
Four at Indianapolis from the sale of tickets
were 84.277 in excess of those in August, 1896, and
this has been accomplished at much less ex
pense, as the lower office was in operation in
August, 1896. The passenger receipts of the Big
Four at this point ate now exceeding 850,000 per
month, it is officially stated. Never In Its his
tory Ims the road done as heavy passenger busi
ness at this point as this year since June 1.
The big newspaper* of New York City are about
making arrangements with the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Pennsylvania lines for a fast
newspaper train, by means of which thev expect
to get their pallet's as far west as Columbus and
Crestline, > on the day of publication. D. L.
Robinson has been advertising th< train and savs

ONE-HALF OF FRIDAY’S LOSS RE

Wheat, hut Provisions Were
Dull All Day.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—Wheat recovered ex
actly half of yesterday’s l%c decline to
day. The tone of the foreign markets,
which caused the decline yesterday, was
also responsible in. a great degree for to
day’s advance. Corn and oats followed
wheat and advanced each. Pro
visions, however, were heavy, and wound
up the day with slight declines. Trading
in wheat was narrow, with prices confined
to a narrow range. The market started
strong at 94rq94%e for December, an ad
vance of 1%@1%C over yesterday’s closing
prices. Liverpool showed substantially no
ch i' ge, notwithstanding 1%0 decline here
yesterday. New York reported a large busi
ness done for export the day before, the
quantity being placed as high as 620,000
bushels, 416,000 bushels of it from New York
direct and 304,000 bushels from outports.
Tho week’s clearances of wheat and flour
from botli coasts, as reported by Brad
street, was 6,268,247 bushels. These were
the most prominent features of the early
news and were presumably the reasons
for the strong opening. There was enough
realizing at the opening advance to send
tho price down to 93%c, when a gradual ie
covery took place, the market reaching
93%e by 11:30 o’clock. The Missouri state
crop report was a bullish statement, giving
the yield at 9,400,000 bushels, compared with
12.710,000 bushels the year before. The news
from the Northwest was also suggestive cf
even a pcorer crop of spring wheat than
has hitherto been believed in, especially as
regards the quality of the new wheat. The
American consul at Odessa is reported as
stating the Russian yield of wheat in some
places to be only four bushels to the acre.
The vorld’s shipments of wheat and flour
lr> Europe this week are estimated by BCer
bohm at 8,000,000 bushels. Chicago receipts
were 315 cars, only 29 of them contract and
22 of these No. 2 spring. Minneapolis and
Duluth received orjly 450 cars, against 1,117
the corresponding day of 1896. Trio eon
tn ental markets did not show much
change. Paris reported a decline or 15 cen
times and Antwerp an advance of x-is
centimes. Clearances to-day were reported
at 610,000 bushels. The local shipping Ue
mano was at a standstill, which tact some
what militated against the bails. Decem
ber was selling at 93%c at the close.
Corn was slow, but steady, helped by the
hot, dry weather and by the fact that Ar
gentine corn shipmtmts were nothing,
whereas last yeah l,s2i,CiOQ bushels were
shipped. There was some apprehension
over expected enormous receipts by Tues
day and a disposition to "even up’’ over
Monday’s holiday was shown, wmch re
sulted in a partial loss of the opening ad
vance. Cables were unchanged. Seaboard
clearances were 500,000 bushels. Local re
ceipts were posted at ’.,645 cars. December
opened t / i (a%c higher at 02%@32%c, sold be
tween 32%c and closed at 3S>A®32-ic.
Oats were quiet and practically feature
less, the market attracting even iess at
tention than usual. The feeling was steady
in sympathy with com and prices were
slightly higher throughout. Country offer
ings were light, but shipping demand poor.
Receipts were 414 cars. December sold be
tween 20 closing at the latter figure,
an advance of , ,
Provisions were dull and a shade lower.
The opening was steady with corn. Pack
ers sold sparingly, but light as the offer
ings were, they were greater than the de
mand and a slight decline resulted. At the
close December pork was 5c lower at $8.92%.
December lard about 5e lower at $4.8214, and
December ribs nominally 6e lower at $5.05.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
450 cars; corn, 2,100 cars; oats, 425 cars;
hogs, 45.000 head.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—There was the usual Sat
ruday market in cattle. On account of the small
receipts quotations wese largely nominal, yester
day's prices prevailing in the majority of cases.
Receipts of native cattle have fallen off this week
and tiie proportion of choice matured beeves has
decreased, ttiere being a great many thin stockers
and half fat cattle, many of which are forced
on the market by drought in different sections.
Business in hogs was fairly active, but yes
terday's top prices could net be obtained and light
weights were decidedly lower. Sales were at $3.80
®4 for heavy packing iota up to $4.35 for choice
butchers and mixed lots, with choice assorted
light at *4.35®4.45. The bulk of the hogs sold for
$4.15® 4.30.
The market for sheep and lambs was steady,
a good share of the receipts being consigned to
city slaughterers. Sheep sold at an extreme range
of $2®4.25 for culls to prime natives. Western
rangers comprising the bulk of the offerings and
selling at $3.35®8.85. Lambs sold at $4.50®;>.15 for
Westerns and at $5.20®*5.8*j for good to extra na

LOCAL GRAD AMI PRODUCE.
A Week of Satisfactory Trade, with
Strong I’rices Prevailing;.
The week closing with Sept. 4 gave evidence
that the merchants of this country are to have a
very satisfactory autumn trade. Traveling sales
men who came in Friday and Saturday report
everything favorable for good business the next
few months. Stocks are low, money more plenti
ful than for some years and more crops to sell.
Everything the farmer handles brings nu*re money
than it did last year and as a result they have
paid their hills and the retail merchants are ex
periencing much easier times. I’rlces in all lines
are hardening with each week, although not many
sharp advances have been made. During the
week there were advances in dry goods, drugs,
groceries and eggs. Poultry declined V*c. The
provision market is in stronger position and hay
ai.d flour markets unsettled. On Commission row
business on Friday and Saturday showed some
improvement, but in the vegetable line the market
is now largely supplied by home producers. Seed
merchants report some improvement, with firm
prices.
Tiie week in the local grain market was not as
active as the preceding. Iteceipts of wheat in
creased slightly, but receipts of corn and oats
