Naval Oncer Arrested for Contu:
macy.
6 Commander ]. F. McClenzy, chief OF the
equipment department of the Gosport, Pa,
navy yard, has been arrested. This news
has caused decided sensation. The reason
assigned is his refusal to obey orders re.
ceived from Commandant Mayo. just pre-.
vious to the May election McClenzy was re-
quested by Mayo to employ two negroes,
one of whom was an active Malone politi-
clan. The chief declined to act unless the
request was reduced to writing. This was
done, and the two read]ustefs were given
employment. After tho election Mayo
wanted his written request rettirned. Nc
CleDzy refused to comply with the demand.
Mayo then went in person to his recalci-
trant aubordinate and desired the return of
the paper. McClenxy firmly refused. and

The Pennsylvania Company Possibly Ask
Ing Too Much of New Albany.
The statementin the Journal that the city
council of New Albany had been treating the
Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis, or the
Pennsylvania company, which operates the road,
rather shabbily as regards right of way matters
at that point may have been put little too
strong If the New Albany Ledger properly pre-
sents the facts In the case, and
still further demonstrates the fact
that the Pennsylvania company has a
method of doing business in which it grasps
everything within reach which present or pros
peeuvey gives u competitor any advantage
When this company once gets hold none are
more arbitrary, the position they take as a
member OF the indianapolis Union Railway Com
pany being an apt illustration. 1t Is but inst
however, to say that Manager McCrea, since he
OF matters generally, SO far as INDIANAPOLIS
Is concerned. and doubtless will in the end ACT

says; "If the switches and double track asked

Tho Facts Regarding the t., C. & ST. L..
Narrow-Gauge Road.
The appointment of receiver for the To-
Iedo. Cincinnati & st. Louis narrow gauge rail-
way is step in the history of this grand
confidence scheme that the Journal has
long predicted No other result was possible.
The road was never properly built. though the
proceeds of its issues of bonds, if they had been
properly applied, would have built it we'll. Ths
whole enterprise, from the beginning, seems to
have been a stupendous enterprise to float
broad-gauge bonds on narrow-gauge road.
COrse and Ballou and their contracting assoei-
ates are said to have appropriated large
amount of the securities through the means of
construction companies. The present road is
composed OF vast number of independent mar
rOw-gauge roads, which have been bonded for
large sums. Contracts for construction have
been made, large amounts of bonds have been
issued therefor, and the newly-oonstructed road
has been turned over to the railroad company
ready for operation, whereas, as rule, 1t was not
mt TO run a train over, and the meager earnings
of the road were totally insufficient to prosecute
the work Of construction.
The capital stock of the company is SIS, 000,-
600 funded debt, S17. $780, 900; equipment trust
bonds. $3.50, CSC, 900. To this must he added the
more recent issue of 100000 of equipment
bonds and the $500 900 recently thrown in as q
''perk" by friends of the property in Boston.
This stupendous debt rests on 1856 miles of mar
row-gauge rpad, which can to-day be paralleled
and equipped for less money than the first mort
gage bonds call for. However, we're any syndi-
cate TO purchase the property. among the first
moves would be to straighten the line and then
make 1t standard gauge road. Boston capital

Sketch of Dwights Railroad Life-H. r.
Dering Makes Good Beginning.
Gaylord Beach, chief engineer OF the Bee-line
system, is in the city on official business.
Colonel o. P. Anderson, July 1, retired from
the position of travelling passenger agent of the
Lake Erie e. Western road.
E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the c.,
St. L. & P. lines, passed through Indianapolis
yesterday en- route for Colorado. His family
accompanied him.
r. Ward, telegraph operator of the Bee-ne at
Ansonia, yesterday refused to answer calls of
the Western Union Telegraph Company, and
asked Superintendent Evan to send an operator
TO take his place.
Colonel Joseph Hill, superintendent, and II W.
Hibbard, general freight agent of the Vandala
system. who have been i'll the city for day or
two, will this morning go west, stopping at sta-
tions along the llnet TO taik with agents as re-
CARDS business matters and needed improve
ments.
The Impression in railroad circles is that
George W. Stevens, superintendent Of over one
thousand miles of road, has shOudered more
than he can carry, and that with his iron cOnsti-
tuition he will break down. Mr. Stevens is at his
office among the hTsbin the morning, and seldom
until midnight does he leave his desk.
II. R Dering, assistant general passenger
agent of the lines controlled by the Pennsyl-
vsnia company, yesterday removed his head
quar- tiers from Louisville TO Indianapolis. Mr..
Dering states that he will spend most of his
time here He yesterday called his assistants
he expected OF Them Among other things, he
gave them to understand that the use of intoxi
eating liquor as beverage, or hanging
around saloons would be sufficient grounds for
their discharge. Mr.. Dering starts in with the
expectation of largely increasing the business OF
the e., st. l.. & p. and the Vandala, if close
tenJion to business will accomplish such re-
suit

United states Court, receiver OF the Toledo

that now going forward, it is stated, goes to
lake ports The Indiana. Bloomington & West

this grain has gone through to New York by lake

water routes have offered. The canals of New
York this year have carried an unprecedentedy
large quantity of grain. During the present
season the canals of New York have carried
lS4O4l tons of wheat, equivalent to 6,134,700
bushels; also the equivalent of 1,23S,214 bush

legislative resolve relative to women and chill

class of passengers at very low rates feel that 1t
is unjust to place the burden upon them OF haui-
ing an extra coach for the accommodation OF 80
few and in answer to demand so hight. The
board cannot recommend any legislation for
bidding in all events and under all clrcunl-
stances the conveyance of women and children

railroads TO give orders that no women or chill
dren shall be carried against their VIII, unless
from their condition it would be wrong 10

the women and children be looked after first.
