any more about it. Boys you had bet
ter act the gentleman after this and
leave out young ladies. Z. S.-Dan

else CT the company please return the
goose.
We noticed our friend Dan with the
little gray and buggy gong east in the
direction their clevises went last
spring. Guess he did not find them as
he soon came back as far as the corner
with one of our fair sex with him. but
retraced his steps again in a hurry.
Must be his girl over west was coming
to church. It's quite bother to have
so many girls Dan.

STEALING GRAIN DOORS.

Elevator Men Getting in Bad Repute-Re-
form in Order.
Yesterday an elevator firm sent in an outrage
Hns Dill to one of the Indianapolis roads for
grain doors furnished in the month of October.
Investigation showed that charge was made,
an several cases. for furnishing grain doors for
cars which have patent grain-dOOrs in perfect
working order. This led a railroad official to re-
mark IN the presence of the railroad reporter of
fhe Journal. that stealing grain
doors, breaking them up that the
Elevator companies might furnish
new ones has become a seemingly legitimate
business with some elevator people. He had
gone so far several times as to order every grain
door for cars sent into certain Indianapolis ele-
vatOrs inspected and put in perfect order, and
IN spite OF this precaution the elevator COM
PaBy would at the end of the month, present a
Dill for grain doors furnished for these identical
cars. This practice of stealing grain doors had
become so common, the official remarked, that
Bhe railroad companies would be compelled to
rake steps to protect themselves against the
Hhieves as he characterized them.

In regard to the negotiations pending between
the Plttsburg u Western railway officials ana
the Erie MANAGEMENT, it is said that MIR. Jewetts
signature would be attached IL not that he
is bedrldden at Atlantic City. and ncapacitated
for business. 1t is said that the stumbling block
in the way of finaiity in the transaction has been
the floating Indebtedness of the P. & w. Railway
Company, amounting to something like 81 O0O,-
900 or more. The Erie company is willing to
guarantee 81 per cent. of the earnings of the
Pittsburg & Western, but refuses to shoulder
the floating debt.
Central railroad has an air of romance about 1t.
Some capitalists, indeed, consider 1t impractical
Die. Engineers acquainted with the route pro
posed say that the Sierra Nevada chain must he
crossed at an elevation of not less than 10000
feet; that eighty miles of snOw-sheds will he

mountains and that the 700 miles TO be traversed
from Yosemite to Salt Lake City is through a
most sterile region. The opposition to new rail

A misplaced switch on the Belt road Yesterday
morning threw |. & st. L. mOgul engine
and seven cars into the ditch. The obstruction

President Garrett, of the Baltimorn & Ohio

would be valuable feeder, more especially a

former employe at the Indianapolis rolling
mill has invented machine for passing the
blooms up to the roller and receiving the rails
after rolled, which promises to revoluuOnize
this branch OF the service. 1t is very simple
devic'; has the same motion in handling the
blooms and rails which a gang of men with
hooks have, and it is said that the machine can
lie hullt for 81 500, or 81 900 at the outside cost.
In the Indianapolis steel-rail mill there is a
set of machinery that performs this work ad-
mrahlv, but one objection to it is it's great cost.
The first machine cost nearly 100000. Proba
bly, another one could be constructed at 20 to
% per cent. less. Should the device be a
success it would certainly prove a big advantage
