up all bridge timber, new rails, cross ties, ETC.,

the effect that the Wabash syndicate has secured

THE SUNDAY JOURNAL.

The Sunday Journal of yesterday was an
issue worthy to have gone into every household.
Besides the news of the day, completely given
from all parts of the world, including a vivid
account of the terrible experiences of pilot
Marshall Bertrand and his shipmate in an open
boat on the ocean, there were a number of
special articles of interest and value. sketch
of an early Indiana elopement in Wayne county,
by ''E. B. H." was very readable. Mr.. William
Dawson had an instructive history of the prepa-
ration and publication of almanacs an old drug
gist talked Interestingly about the penchant for
new remedies. and of the use and decline of cura-
tives The society, musical and art department
of the paper was unusually full. Among the
contributors, besides those named were Mrs.
Emma Carleton, Dr. A. w. Brayton, Ida May
Davis and Freeman E. Miller The local news of
the city was given with fullness, and in the mis-
celaneous and literary department there
was something to please every taste, in the way
of poems, stories, sketches, humor, ETC.,
ETC. The principal stock and money markets
are published each Sunday morning, and railway
men will find many matters of personal interest
to them in the railroad department The Sun
day journal is prepared with great care; every
line in it is fresh, and much of it original and
exclusive for its columns. The circulation is
steadily growing; it is by great odds already the
largest and best of any Sunday paper published
in the State, and the advertising patronage is
first-class. The price of the Sunday Journal
three cents-makes it the fayOrte peoples paper.

Freight Business Over indianapolis Lines.
While slight falling off in movement of
loaded cars over Indianapolis roads is shown
last week as compared with the number re-
ceived and forwarded in the week ending Nov.
%, the last weeks business is decided i'm
provement over that of any other week in
months Yes, it is safe to say, in years; so
much nearer have tariff rates been adhered to.
Especially will this remark apply to east
bound traffic, and it is quite evident that this,
the thirteenth time that the railroad officials
have agreed to restore and then maintain rates
is being more honorably lived up to than either
of the twelve preceding agreements were, and if
freight men will continue so TO do it is safe to
expect handsome increase in earnings during
the month we enter upon to-day, as
corn is beginning to move eastward briskly.
West bound tonnage is lighter than a month
ago but still heavier than at the corresponding
period, 1888. North and south roads are carry
ing a good deal of live stock, grain, and some
meats Their lumber traffic is light. Local
business is only fair so far as miscellaneous
freights are concerned. All lines are carrying
good many hogs, and the grain movement is i'm
proving somewhat the last few days.

and forwarded at this point in the weeks ending
