Handsome Increase in Business Over Indian
apolis Lines.

The fourteen indianapolis roads are again in
good shape and business has begun to move
quite briskly and further Improvement in pros
pect as the season advances. Eastward there is
quite heavy movement of grain to in
terror points. Export traffic, however,
continues light Most of the shipments come
from points west of indianapolis, Comparative
ly speaking, nothing is going forward from Indi-
annapolis proper. The westbound tonnage was
never heavier at this season of the year than at
the present time, and through March a brisk
movement is looked for. North and south roads
are doing little more, and the prospects are
fattering for decided improvement in the near
future. Local traffic continues rather spasmod-
ical in character, yet, take the week through,
averages up well with the tonnage Of former
years.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
An Address by President Brown, of the Ma
tionaI Humane Society.

Edwin Lee Brown, of Chicago, president of
the National Humane Society, delivered lecture
at the First Presbyterian Church last night, on
the subject of Cruelty to Animals" he spoke
particularly of the cruel treatment to which
animals are subjected while being shipped to the
markets, when two or three days often pass
without their being fed or given
water and in this connection he
said that none than one-haf the

and Boston opposite to the train which leaves
Boston at 3TP. NJ daily, reaches Indianapolis at
1885 P. NJ second night, st. Louis at 1870 A. N.
the second morning, Which is conceded by all
railroad men and the travelling public as we'll to
be the fastest train run for so long distance
in America. This advance movement on the
part of the management Of this road IS looked
upon with much favor So far as equipments
are concerned the Decline now has as fine
coaches and fast-running locomotives as any of
its competitors, and with little sharp work
it will receive its full share of traffic both east
and wostbound.
The Quicker the Change Is Made the Better.
The committee appointed to prepare plans for
the establishment of the trunk-line pool clear
ing house are said to be at work in earnest on
the scheme and Commissioner Fink is urging
them on. There is said to be very little objec-
ton on the part of any of the roads interested to
testing the clearing house, as the trunk
line pool has seemingly become non-efective as
a rate maintainer. The Boston Journal says of
the new move: ut is pretty we'll understood that
| the present tonnage pool is on the ragged edge
of oblivion, and that in a few months it will be
abandoned as a failure and the clearing house
system substituted. Mr.. Fink is well known to
be extremely DESTROYS to effect the change as
quickly as possible. and to this end
! has already appointed committee OF
experienced gentlemen to draft the
necessary plans and rules and report at the next
meeting of the joint committee. The new com
mittee is composed as follows: icepresident
| George Il. Blanchard, of the Erie; President
John Newell, of the Lake Shore; Trafic-manager
L. J. Sergeant, of the Grand Trunk General
| Traffic manager H J. Hayden, of the New York
Central; Vice president Frank Thompson, of the
Pennsylvania Company; Vicespresident Samuel
Spencer, of the Baltimore & Ohio; President H.
taHvv and nt tNO Iffratr FoNfa and
eral Traffic manager George Olds of the Wa
| bash. Mr.. Fink expects that the clearing house
! system will put an end to the rate cutting for
the reason that should it be adopted, all traffic
accounts, to the most minute details will have
to pass under the investigation Of the clearing.
house officials. In this way a direct record of
the money earnings of the roads will be kept, and
an equitable division of the profits made much
easier than under the tonnage pool. Another
effect of the adoption of the clearing house sys-
! TEN will be to reduce in number, if not abolish
the fast-freight lines, at whose door the bulk of
| the pool trouble has been laid"

Some Warm Competition in Prospect.
The quiet visit to the city of E. B. Thomas,
general manager of the Decline system, on
Wednesday last, and the official visit of A, ].
Smith, general passenger agent of the same road,
on Friday last, convinced both officials that it
was time for them to assume the aggressive at
this point if they wish to hold even their present
business. 1t has been a surprise to railroad
men that for months past this company has
looked on while their competitors at this point
have established attractive outside offices at
prominent points in the city, put their
best passenger men here and two
or three of their most active solicit
ors- Some have been selling tickets at
their Offices while protesting to be only infor-
their tickets at the Union railway Offices paying
rebates, it is stated, to the purchasers of the
tickets, who waited at these practically ticket
scaiping Offices until the messenger bow returned
from the Union ticket office, while the Bee
line and the indianapolis q st. Louis have re-
mained quiet and let their passenger traffic slip
away from them. And now comes in the differ
ental rate question, and to protect them
selves the Decline people must assume
the aggressive. To this end they have leased
the prominently located room in the Bates House
corner, and propose to put some alert pas
senger men here to look after their interests,
and there is good authority for saying that
unless ylthin,the next few days there is a brae-
ing up of passenger rates at this point both east
ana west bound, and theAsale of tickets at out

The Dixie Gopher Game This After
nOOn-The PensacOIaites Ready for
the Game.
The Gopher Base Ball Club of Pensa-
cola arrived in the city last night from
Jacksonville, and is stopping at the
Pavilion Hotel. They are an active
and athletic looking body of men, and
from their appearance know how to play
ball. The record the club made last year
with the Bre mans, in the famous l to 0
game, is an evidence of what they can do.
The nine is made up as follows: j..
Wells, C. and Captain; l.. GuinOt, p: VIM.

SpotswOod, 30; J. 0ConnOr DR.. Tan

&C. The manager, 'Happy Dan" Ber-
gen, is the pilot of the club, and takes the
boys around like father.
The DiXies will put their strongest nine
in the field, and will give them hard
game to get away with. Fitzgerald, who
was telegraphed on Thursday, left At
lanta last night, and will reach Savannah
this morning and take his position behind
the plate. The game will be called at
o'clock.
The AIerts defeated the Juniors by a
score of IA to >. The Alerts played with
only errors.
An interesting and very exciting game
was PLAYED on the premises of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway by
employees of the transportation de-
partment and the Savannah freight de-
partment. resulting in favor of the latter
by a score of q to 4. This was the first
game played by either club. The Savan-
nah Freight Agents club intend to cross
bats with the YaldOsta club in the near
future. The TranspOrtatiOns will have to
do much better next time or they will be
done up worse than yesterday.
The Rainbows and Amateurs played an
interesting game, resulting in a victory
for the Rainbows by a score of II to 5.
This is the second game out of the three
played that the RainbOws have won oyer
the Amateurs, and they are ready to meet
any junior club in the State that may
come to the front.
