east and west bound. was directed to request
all roads represented on the joint executive com
mittee, and all roads working in connection with
them to strictly maintain tariffs. The presi-
dents have pledged themselves to be personally
responsible for carrying out this agreement"
A resolution was adopted embodying the new
agreement which was signed by all the man
ayers present, This agreement does not differ
essentially from previous ones which have been
adopted for the same purpose, namely: to main
tain rates. Commissioner Fink states, however,
that in the present instance the roads are thor
oughly in earnest and are resolved to unite firm
ly upon a sound basis. The new agreement pro
vides for a monthly settlement of balances,
and eontemplates the establishment of kind
Of clearing house for the railroads in the asso-
citation, by which an adjustment of balances may
be facilitated. The agreement also provides for
the formation of interior pools to be established
within the ensuing two months wherever they
may be thought necessary, in order to equitaby
distribute the business among the various lines
No penalties were imposed for past Irregularities
and it is understood the trouble with the Peoria
roads has been satisfactorily adjusted. Mr.
Fink is authorized to use all means to carry out
the terms of the agreement.

There is a better feeling springing up in the
iron and steel trade, and the management of the
indianapolis Steel-rail mill are hoping that be-
fore many weeks the price of blooms and of
steel rails will be adjusted that they can start
the new mill up and make a small margin on
rails manufactured Reports from other points
show that steel rails are firmly held, the Edgar
Thomson works refusing orders at less than
$36 so per ton, and $35 being now the inside
1901 900 tons are expected to be placed before
spring opens, and the mills already have con
tracts on hand which will keep them steadily
employed for several months.

Disreputable Business.

EARLY in January the auditors of the several
Indianapolis roads came to the city for the pur-
pose of checking up D. Donough, general ticket
agent of the Union Railway Company, but did
not proceed with the work, giving as a reason
that the premature announcement in
the journal of their coming de-
feated their plans On Wednesday they
quietly slipped into the city and bounced down
on the Union ticket Office in manner which
would lead one to believe that they expected to
find some crookedness in the Office. Mr.. Don
ough is considered in business circles one of the
most correct and honest men in the city. This
uncalled for Further, Mr.. Donough is under a
500. coo bond to keep matters straight and he
certainly does not deserve to thus have suspicion
cast uDOn him

Tho fire in the new part took place eleven years
ago The roof burned Off and injured the walls,
1t was afterwards repaired by the architect, Mr.,
Edwin May. The times at which the different
repairs were made: The first thing done was to
take off the flagstaff and tower, or cupola of the
Michigan street front The hall was strength
ened by putting in long timbers and anchoring
them, to keep the walls from spreading. The
High-school hall was used after that for perhaps
three years. and was considered safe for assem-
bly, purposes. Repairs to some extent have been
going on each vacation, but no large sum was
expended until last vacation, when about 81, 200
was expended under the supervision of archi-
tects. After these repairs the North Pennsyl-
vania street front is considered safe.
D. A. Bohlen, architect; Mr.. Daggett Mr.,
Schewer, and myself examined the High school
building and submitted our report. We said
that, with certain repairs made, the building
would be reasonably safe. A number of the
members of the school board are not satisfied
with that word reasonably but do not know
that have any other report to make. There is
no more to be said. The school board made a
great blunder when they bought the building.
They ought not to have bought the old trap

Judge Dyer Gives His Final Decision in the
Straight-Line Suits.

Judge Dyer Gives His Final Decision IN the
Straight-Line Suits.
Judge Dyer, of the Superior Court of Wander
burg county, on Wednesday gave his final de-
cision in the case involving the claims against
the old Straight -line-the indianapolis & Evans
vile Railroad Company. As to the claims of
mechanics for building bridges, his opinion was
that the mortgage under which the trustees held
the property was superior to the mechanics
claims. He held that each citizen of Indiana to
whom the railroad was indebted had a lien to
the amount of $100 on the personal property of
the company superior to the mortgage; that this
lien in this case covered the rails, together with
the other personal property, and they should be
sold to discharge this lien He held that the
weight of the evidence was that the floating
debt creditors were entitled to debentures. He
would in the final decree, therefore, order that
each citizen proving his claim shall receive 800
thereon out of the proceeds of the personal prop
erty and the balance in debentures. He would
after further consideration, fix in the final de-
cree who should issue the debentures, and the
time during which they should be valid claim
against the railroad company, or the purchasers
thereof.
He held that the plaintiffs were entitled to the
foreclosure and order of sale prayed for under
the conditions and limitations above stated.

tho gentleman who thinks an honest man in
railroad circles is seldom found. He says the
workings of American railroads. with rare but
brilliant exceptions, has ended in disappointment
and disaster, while it is indsputable that the
country has in it all the elements Of railroad
success beyond comparison with any other. 1t
Is unaccountabe, on honest business principles,
that the tonnage of the railroads is so small

at risk, are so infinitesimal He states

franchises and to whom, after their proprietors,
their first duties are due, reaches the treasury,
and unhesitatingly charge from my personal
knowledge, that not one-half of the amounts
really paid to the railroads reach the treasures
OF many important companies. The proprietors
are deceived and the people are defrauded
through the machinery of rings, pools and re-
bates, under the administration of autocratic
presidents. These rings generally act with CAPT
hal supplied by the railroads, and as generally
consist of railroad managers and their friends"

understand the wisdom of devoting attention

rapidly increased in the southern states most

employing other lines aid many steamers to
transport her fruit and vegetable products TO

i. vast increase Of tho orchard products OF the
South, especially in Alabama, Florida, Missis-

more than doubled during the last census de-
tade, but the increase of the production OF other
fruits and of vegetables has been almost as re-
markable. The shore OF the far south IN
