now becomes a problem, Should the court in
struct the receiver to pay the rentals, the Wa
bash people could doubtless retain in their sys-
tenn any leased lines they chose. However, so
much of a thorn in their flesh has the l.. F. &C.
been it is hardly probable that they will continue
the lease. As to the condition of the
property, the road bed between indianapolis and
Peru has been kept in pretty good shape some
twenty-five miles of steel-rails having been put
in in the last three years. The l., P. g. c. 10
comotives are still on the road, but considerably
out of shape. The thirty-six passenger and
/, 400 freight cars are scattered over the Wabash
and Southwestern system, and it will be difficult
to gather them up again. The road bed of the
Wabash proper, much of it, is in bad condition,
and, doubtless, the Jay Gould syndicate will
work their wires to have the main line put IN
number one condition. This Manager Talmage
will do, if given the means to do it. That the
Wabash proper, with a good road-bed and prop
erly equipped and well managed, is a valuable
property, no one will for a moment question. 1t

the Property.

III
The announcement in yesterdays Journal
that q receiver for the Wabash, ST. Louis &
Pacific road had been applied for was not a sur
prise, and hardly partook of the character of
aews. Weeks ago-yes, two years ago-the
journal intimated that unless there was a change
in the management of the property bankruptcy
stared them in the face. Profanity, buster and
don't give q id will not operate railroads sue
cessfuly The manner the indianapolis, Peru
d Chicago division was managed for a time an
swers for all divisions. The Wabash people
three years ago leased this road, which cleared
in the year 1880 $40, 600 above fixed charges
the road has failed to pay operating ex-
penses and rental, not because the business
was not there to be moved, but because the poll
cy adopted drove business from the road. At
the outset old, tried, faithful and popular officers
were asked to resign, and their places were filed
by clever and very competent men, but they
knew not the wants of the shippers or the tray
cling public. Trains were withdrawn and rates
advanced; towns Disseminated against, and
there was a general overturning Of matters.
Such action had much to to do with the extern
sion of the Vandalia n%orthward and the building
of the L., n. A. q G. Airline. OF late the road
has been operated more to accommodate the pat
rons of it. Yet the feeling is such that it will! be
many a day before the J., P. & c. can become the
favorite road OF days gone by. A prominent bust
ness nan of Kokemo covers the situation in a
nut-shell. He remarked q day or two since,
should the l., z. d G. pass back under the old
management, he believed at towns along the line
the bells would be rung and bands of music
would parade the streets so good would they feel
over the change. The future of the leased lines

An Old Firm I'm n New store.

The old and reliable firm of w. G..
Metzerott & Co. have reason to congratu-
late themselves on the change from their
old store, No. 925 Pennsylvania avenue,
where they wore so long and favor
ably known to the music-loving people of
our city, to the large and beautiful quar-
ters in the Gunton building, No. 9O3
Pennsylvania avenue. In the selection
terprise and business sagacity.
The sheet music and musical instrument
department, on the first floor, Is handsome
ly fitted up, and shows to good advantage o
large and complete stock; in fact, every
thing in the music line of trade, with
competent and courteous clerks to supply
the wants of their numerous patrons.
On the second floor the whole length
of the building is devoted to the piano
and organ salesroom. Tho pianos are
from the following well-known factories:
Chickering & Sons, Haines Bros, and
Gabler Bros. A speciality of the firm is
the medium grade pianos made by James
& Holstrom, low in price, but perfect In
tone and construction. The organs are
from the justly celebrated firm of Clough
& Warren. These have the Scribner
patent tube attachment, which enables
tho Iooub w 10 suhou III pohioCb
of the Pipe organ, a feature not to be met
with in another make of organs. For
beauty of finish and perfect work
throughout they are not to be surpassed.
Messrs. Metzerott & Co. also have q
large and commodious wareroom on ID
street. between Ninth and Tenth, for
storing and repairing pianos, organs, &c.
The same able corps of tuners and work.
men, who, for the last ten years, have
beon in the employ Of the firm, are re-
tanned, and the public can rely on being
served in the future in the same satisfac-
tory manner as in the past That the
public appreciate the efforts Of the firm in
their behalf, is evidenced by the fact that
the business success since moving has
greatly surpassed the expectation Of the
business manager, Mr.. +. B. Newheiser,
to whom too much credit cannot be given
for the success now assured the firm. Mr..
Newheiser has been for number of years
well known to the music trade of this
city and Richmond, Va, for his business
tact, and his many friends will naturally
continue their patronage aJ the new store.

Portions OF r and Ninth Streets to
be Lighted by Means OF Underground
Wires.
The lighting of f street, from Ninth
to Fourteenth street, by electricity has
now become settled fact, and by next
Tuesday that street, between the streets
named, will be brightly illuminated. An
arrangement has been made with the
merchants on that street by the United
States Electric Light company by which
they are to help pay the cost. Each mer-
chant would have had to pay 10 cents
per night to mako up the 50 demanded.
and the company will also receive the 81
per night which is paid tho gas company
for lighting the street, If the light is
satisfactory. The cost of electric lamps
is $11 per night for tho fifteen in use.
Tho block on Il street between Four
tecnth and Fifteenth is not to be lighted.
The merchants and property owners re-
fused to pay tho required pittsnce, and
they will still have gas.
The company have laid their wires be.
tween the tracks of the Metropolitan
Railway company, for which they have
given bond of 5000 for the faithful
performance of the work.
Subscriptions have been started by the
merchants on Ninth street, from Penn
sylvania avenue to + street, to have that
street lighted like + street. The cost per
lamp is 60 cents q night, and the subscrip-
tions are nearly all in.

An Opening Reception to Be Given
To-Night-superbIy Housed.
Washington lodge, No. Is, Benevolent
and Protective Order Of Elks. was insti-
tatod in this city on Feb. H. 1882, with
forty-one charter members. Since tnat
time the lodge has aourished and q uadru-
pied its membership. From the time Of
its organization it began looking around
for location where 1t could be perma-
nently domiciled. After repeated efforts
and failures, some three weeks since they
secured tho third floor Of the Marble
building, at tho corner Of Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, on long
lease A committee to act with tho trus.
tees of the lodge was appointed, with full
power to take charge of fitting up and
furnishing the rooms and were not
stinted for money. The work has just
been completed, and the lodge and adia-
cont rooms will be thrown open this
mombors aud friends Of the order. 1t
has cost some $500 to make tho changes,
and the result cannot DO otherwise than
acceptable. The lodge room proper is
so by AZ feet, with raisod platforms ex-
tending around the four sides. Tho
walls arc handsomely papered in gold
and tho ceilings beautifully paneled.
Three chandeliers of twelve burners each,
shaded by white aud colored globes fur
nish the light. The carpet is of hoavy
velvet, and the officers chairs and stands
are gems Of workmanship and in keeping
with the surroundings. The lsmbrequins
arc attractive in design, IN elks head and
branching antlers standing out with
great prominence at the front. The seat
ing capacity of the lodge will exceed
100, but in order TO make the room
avoid crowded appearance only
eighty chairs have been put in,
the others TO be supplied when needed.
Probably the greatest adornment
Of the room is the piano. This comes
from the woll-known house Of Hallet
Davis q Co., of Boston, and ia valued at
at $1,000. In tone, finish, and beauty 1t
is claimed that tho instrument cannot
be excelled in the city.
Adjoining the lodge room is large
reception room, which has been fitted up
in the same regal style as the former. 1t
is designed to be used more as a retiring
room for members where they can enjoy
chat or smoke, privileges not permitted
during tho session Of the lodge. Con-
Meeting with these two is the tylers room,
in which will be lockers, racks, and re-
ceptacles for lodge paraphanalia, aud to
the west Of this is the wash room and
the closets.
The Knights of Pytbias have found the
new lodge rooms n very acceptable place
for them, and already four of the lodges
of that order have secured nights in the
Elks' lodge rooms for their meetings
The other free nights are being nego'
tiated for.
