A Stranger Killed by Cars.

Last evening shortly after dark stranger was
found dead, in badly mutilated condition, two
squares from Shelby street, alongside the Belt
railroad track. He had evidently been struck
and run over by a train, and had been dead fully
an hour or more when found. His head was
crushed, his arms and legs were almost cut off,
and his body badly mutilated. Nothing could
be found upon his person by which he could be
identified He is apparently about forty-ive
years old, and was poorly dressed. He was evi-
IDENTIFY laboring man. tits supposed that he
was struck by train or locomotive that was
backing around the Belt tracks. His body is at

Something in the Rumor.

The current rumor that the Wabash and Cana
dian Pacific are to enter into traffic arrange
ment arises from the fact that the president Of
the Wabash went to Montreal over the Canadian
Pacific railway and made the trip from Toronto
in company with Mr.. Van Horne. His business
was expressly with the Canadian Pacific. This
road is now taking steps TO extend the Credit
Valley road from st. Thomas to Detroit 1t is
not improbable that this visit had some connec-
ton with the discussion of an alliance between
the Wabash and Canadian Pacific. The Erie
road which has, up to this time, been the East
ern ally of the Wabash, is now in the hands of
a manager not friendly to the interest that gov
erns the Wabash and it would be to that roads
advantage to get through Eastern connections
such as the Canadian Pacific offers. On the
other hand. the Wabash would supply the
Canadian Pacific with a direct Southwestern
connection

A Catholic Priest Suing for Libel.

AS one of the results of the old trouble in the
Catholic Church at Brownsburg, Hendricks
county, of which repeated accounts have been
published, Rev Denis ODouovan, the cx-rastor
there. has brought suit against Father Herman
Aerding, of this city, for $4,000, for libel
ODonovan was removed from the charge there
by the Bishop. and subsequently, Father AL
erding pablished a history Of the Catholic Church
of the diocese of Vncennes, in which occurred
the following paragraph regarding the Browns
burg church: "Rev. Denis O'Donovan came
next, and remained, in spite of the Bishop, to
the great scandal of the Catholics" This state
ment is the basis for the present suit.

New Publications.

Merrill, Meigs G. Co. have in the market new
Sunday school record, prepared by c. D. Meigs,
which is not only very handily arranged for the
use OF the secretary, but conforms to the stats-
tics adopted by the State Sunday-school conven-
tion. The record is a valuable one and if used
in the schools of the State would secure not
only uniformity but completeness in Sunday
school statistics.
The same firm has also on sale the official re-
port of the Tenth International Sunday school
Convention, held in Louisville, on the llth, 18th
and 18th of June.

CHRISTMAS In THE CITY.
The Various Church Celebrations Last Night
-Generaf Christmas Notes.

The stores and shops down town were crowded
all day and until late last night, by eoodnatured
people, buying Christmas gifts for their families
and friends At the leading retail houses the
crowd was so great, during the greater part of
the day, that many Of the customers had to wait
for nearly an hour before they could be waited
upon, and it was found impossible to deliver ali
the goods sold. In consequence, hundreds OF
people hurried along the sidewalks, and rushed
into the streetcars, with their arms and pockets
so laden with packages that they looked like
amateur Kris Kringles. Times may be hard and
money very scarce in indianapolis, but it did not
look like it yesterday.
Last night was given up almost entirely to
social observances and church entertainments.
But few people were down town, except those
who had business there, and the demonstrative
Toung men who were celebrating" Christmas
entertainments, with the usua! accompaniments
of trees presents songs and recitations, were
held at the following churches: South street
Baptist Third Christian, Mayhower, FIRST Sec
ond Fourth and Seventh Presbyterian Grace,
Meridian-street, Fletcher-placs and Roberts
Park. The weather was exceedingly cold, but
that did not prevent the little people and
HoHy u Suo duuiIS 4fOm auIehuluS' DcN
eral of the entertainments were unique and
unusually attractive At Roberts Park Church
it was the best that school has ever known, and
gave the greatest enjoyment to the large
audience. The entertainment consisted of the
cantata of st Nichoas's Visit to the Sunday
school, and in addition to the excellent music,
vocal and instrumental, introduced the genial
old Saint in a most attractive way and much to
the edifcation of the little ones. At the close
of the cantata the audience was formally dis
missed, though something seemed to be lacking
to make the evening comple-s. As the first
small murmur of disappointment arose. how
ever, the saint promptly stepped to the front and
announced that there was hardly any limit to
the supply of candy provided and the annual
flied out.
Tonight there will be Christmas celebrations at
St Paus First English Lutheran, and Christian
Chapel churches, and tomorrow night at First
Baptist and Christ churches

AnnIvinr the Hatchet.

T. A. Lewis, manager of the Erie fastfreight
lines commenced yesterday in earnest the drop
ping out of agents at any Western point where
their business would not suffer b. such action.
Some sixteen have been dropped thus far, and
the salaries of those continued in service reduced
to % per cent, as the Importance of the posi-
ton would admit Of There are no agencies left
in Iowa The fact is, while it is unpleasant to
contemplate, the pruning in fastfreght circles
has but just commenced. Managers of the
trunk lines, who practically dictate as to line ex
penses, take the ground that, throughout the
West, Northwest and Southwest, the trunk
lines will depend upon the roads to bring freight
to pool points and that there is no necessity for
competing agents at the thousand and one points,
when the property reaches pool point the
per cents are established

Possible Trouble with Engineers.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2L-The grievance committee
Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who have been in secret session here for several
days, have waited on Colonel Hoxe, third vice
president of the Gould system to know the in
tentlons of the road in regard to reducing wages.
1t is understood the Gould system wishes pass
enger train engineers to lay off certain trips and
permit freight engineers to take their places. so
the latter, whose pay has fallen of considerably
under the depression of business may earn
better wages. This suggestion has caused the
trouble. Chief Engineer Arthur will arrive here
tonight from Cleveland. his presence being nee
essary to solve the difficulty. The railroad au
thorities say there will be strike, but the en-
ginecTs say one is very probable, as they claim
their wages are to be reduced Jan. L
LATER. II. Fitzgerald, chairman of the
grievance committee, stated to night that the
alleged wish of the railroad company that pas
sengertrain engineers should lay off part ofthe
time for benefit of freight engineers, is not one
of their grievances. and that he knows nothing
of such a proposition. Vice president HoXie
denies, most emphatically that the railroad
company contemplates reducing wages 10 per
cent or that u reduction of any kind has been
thought of. Chief Engineer Arthur did not
arrive to night, but is expected here tomorrow,
when, perhaps, the real cause of the trouble will
be made known. At present. neither Colonel
Hoxie nor Chairman Fitzgerald will give out any
information to the public beyond the above
statement regarding reduction of wages.
