Methodist Ministers and Bishop Simpson

Methodist Ministers and Bishop Simpson.
The members Of the indianapolis Methodist
preachers meeting deem it especially appropri-
ate that they officially take note of the death of
Bishop Simpson, who for thirteen years. while
president of Asbury University and editor of
the Western Christian Advocate, was a member
of the Indiana Conference 1t is hardly
necessary for us to reassert, what all recognize
to be true, that the Bishop was leader among
men not My in the Methodist Episcopal Church,
but also in the entire civilized world. As a
Christian minister, an orator, and an educator
he was unexceled. AS q bishop for more than
thirty-two years mis- administration was emf
nently fraternal ana acceptable His memory
will eyer be cherishedin Indiana where hundreds
bear his name and many thousands do honor to
his sanity character and noble work

win the BondhoIders BE Frozen oute

A railroad man of large observation and who
has watched closely the financial maneuvers of
the Jay Gould stock and bond manpulato1s yes
terday remarked, every move made indicates
chat it is the purpose of Jay Gould and his
right bowers to force, if possible the courts into
allowing the receiver to issue receivers certifi-
Gates to the amount of millions to pay first the
floating debt then to practically rebuild and
re-equip the 5000 or more miles known as the
Wabash proper, as no one is for moment fool
1sh enough to believe that the Jay Gould PEG
pie are to hold on to the leased lines, most of
which have been shorn of all property that is
movable or the road-bed and equipment
Is practically worn out as is the
case with the Cairo & Vincennes and other di-
visions nearer home We might name. With the
Wabash renewal the next move, he said, of the
manipulators would doubtless be to ask the
courts to sell the road at foreclosure sale they
buying it in at the debts made by the receivers
an clearing the road of debts which must be paid
and in rebuilding the road for them. The re
ceiver's certificates would precede all bonded
debts. In carrying out their programme they
have already made both preferred and common
stock worthless, and with the sale of the road it
would become extinct Now, the programme is
to freeze out third, second and first mortgage
bondholders if they can, and he believed the
only protection either class of bondholders had
was through the courts refusing to aid them in
carrying out their schemes and battle Jay Gould
and bis supporters by giving them to understand
that from the earning of the road must the
floating debt be paid and from the same source
must money for improvements be drawn. The
short way, however, to settle the matter was to
sell the bankrupt concern to the highest bidder.

The Newell Case.

The Supreme Court has reversed the decision
in the case of Lyme Newell, who got judgment
for So, 900 against the Bee-line Railroad Com
pany, for injuries sustained in an accident in
December, 1876. The case has been to the
higher court once before, and decision was
then given in favor of Newell. The present
reversal was because Of an error in the judges
instructions, and the court did not give any rul-
ing as to the merits of the suit as was stated in
the Evening News yesterday.

The New wrinlzIe Live Poultry Car.

VIM. P. Jenkins, of the Lake Erie & Western
road, jointly with ]. L. Streeter, of Muncie,
has applied for letters patent on a car in which
to ship live poultry. The car is not unlike a
stock-car in general appearance having four or
five decks or floors, far enough apart to accom-
modate standing poultry Each deck may be
separated by portable partitions into compart-
ments, or the length of the car may be thrown
together.
Each compartment is provided with main
door, which locks as hereafter described, and
each door has sliding door, which locks indie
pendently, for use in transfer A simple con
trivance of rods and staples locks with a lever
crank every door at once, and a storm curtain
protects the fowls in bad weather. A feed and
water trough, which holds food and water for a
trip to the seaboard, and will not allow the latter
to splash out, tops off the completeness of the
invention

A Heavy Penalty for Cutting Rates.

Dating from to-day, cutting rates by any road
in the trunk line pool will be expensive business
as a penalty agreement has been entered into
whereby any road convicted of cutting the
rates will be fined 81, 900 for every violation the
officer making or authorizing the cut to be i'm
mediately discharged. 1t may safely be
pected, therefore, that hereafter all cutting if
any. will be authorized directly by the pres-
dent, to save official changes.

The Pittsburg, Fort wayne & Chicago.

1t is not surprising that the Pennsylvania
people should desire to secure absolute control
of the Pittsburg Fort Wayne & Chicago road,
and really it is right that they should have it, as
it is more valuable to them as owners than as
lessees For some years past the earnings of
the road have been equal to the interest on
per cent. funded debt of SIS, SOC, 900, per cent
annual dividends on 1928 900, 900, but has yielded
yearly profit to the Pennsylvania company of
about 81 $685. 900. The stock for some years past
has commanded high price, selling as high in
this year as 135, and not below 127. The surplus
earnings for some years past have been over IS
per cent. on the stock issued. But little of this
stock is now seen in the market consequently it
has lost the place it once occupied in the deal
ings. An exchange of the old stock for mort
gage bonds having 999 years to run and bearing
per cent. interest, the same as is now paid an
nually upon the shares, is proposed to the stock
holders.
