Directors He Proposes to Overturn.
Fearing that the remarks Of James McHenry
given in the Journal of Saturday last regarding
overturning of matters in the Cleveland, Co.
lumbus, Cincinnati g. Indianapolis directory may
be misconstrued he asks the Journal to state
that the intention of his remarks was to give the
impression that while he was not dissatisfied
with the persons who constituted the board of
directors he was dissatisfied with their financial
policy, and that at the next annual meeting he
with the proxies he represented and Mr. Wander
bilt, would vote in favor of paying dividends to
the holders of Decline stock, rather than invest
it in extension To illustrate Mr.. McHenry

FREIGHT BUSINESS.
Sharp Decrease in Car MOvement-Floods

Sharp Decrease in Car Recommendations
Interfere with Traffic.
The train records show a large decrease in
car movement last week, as compared with the
week ending Feb. 2. 1t will be noticed that the
largest falling off is made with the roads where
the high waters of few days past have inter
fered seriously with the movement of trains, as

eastern division. The other roads leading east
it will be noticed, all showed slight increase
in the number of cars handled. Had the weather
for week past been favorable, so demoralized
were east-bound freights that doubtless the
movement would have been the largest in any
week for some months past, as the probable
reductions and maintenance of rates led ship
pers to take advantage of the war on rates. The
train records show a large tonnage to
DO moving westward for February and
steadily increasing The west-bound ship
ments promise to be heavy for some weeks to
come, and the rates at which the property is car
ried indicates that west bound rates have been
much better maintained than have rates on east
bound freights The north and south roads are
doing little better there being a marked i'm
provement over the business they were doing
thirty days ago, but still there is great room for
improvement before the ordinary amount of ton
mage is reached The lumber traffic will soon in
crease to such an extent as to swell their earnings
considerably. Live stock traffic, owing to the
bad weather, was little off last week, but this
feature of traffic has been so heavy for a couple
Of months past that the roads have little ground
for complaint. Local business, as well, was I'M
fayorably affected by the miserable weather of
last week, but the tonnage thus far during the
winter months has averaged as well as in for
mer years. Below is given the number of cars
received and forwarded at this point in the week
ending Feb. 2, as compared with that of the pre-
ceding week.
