Receiver Appointed by Judge Shipman at
the Request of the Board of Directors.
BosToN Jan 1.-Oficials of the New York &
New England railroad have received dispatch
from President Clark announcing that the prop
erty of the company has been placed in the
hands of receiver.
The Travellersays: president Clark yesterday
afternoon sent out anotice of directors meeting
at Hartferdlast night Seven directors attended.
1t was learned that the papers necessary for the
application to the United States Circuit Court
for atempOrary receiver, had been previously pre-
pared and brought to Hartford. Mr.. Clark and
the other gentlemen favorable to the receiver
ship agreed that the best interests Of the roadde-
manded it be Immediately placedinthe hands ola
receiver; that the company by allowing its
coupons on first mortgage bonds to be used as
collateral for money advanced to pay them, had
virtually defaulted its interest; that attachments
by old creditors We're liable to be placed on the
road or equipment at any point, and thereby
halnperits operations. Two only, of the seven
directors present, opposed the action. These two
asserted that the whole affair had the appearance
of 'springing trap; that more time should
be given for the consideration of so
important matter, and that the full board of
directors should have an opportunity to vote ON
the question. 1t was finally decided five to
two, to apply for a receiver At the close of the
meeting aidnght) the directors entered the
residence Of Judge Shipman of the United States
Circuit Court who opened court and after hear
ing arguments, granted the petition. Mr.. Clark
was made receiver Soon after the directors re-
turned to Boston an application was made to Judge
Nelson, of the United States Court in this dis
trict, for decree confrmatory of that issued
by Judge Shipman. He refused to grant
it without a full hearing, and set 4 o'clock this
afternoon for a full hearing. Mr.. Clark, says
the meeting at Hartford duly called in ac
cordsnce with the power vested in him. and that
everything was perfectly regular. He says the
actual indebtedness is something over 81 $50, 600
The assets given in the annual report Of the
directors have dwindled, upon close examination
and a large amount of floating debt is now being
pressed for settlement. meeting of the
directors is called for next Monday when it is
very possible a vote calling special stockhold-
ers' meeting will be passed Mr. Clark has re
signed the presidency Of the company"

FREEDOM IN THE CHURCH.
What Is Really the Object of the Coming
Catholic Council.

PITTsBURG, Jan. IA gentleman in this city
who has facilities of knowing whereof he speaks,
says that everything that has been published re-
lating to the object of the gathering of Catholic
bishops in Baltimore next month has been far
wide of the mark.
''The chief business of the meeting" he says
will be to devise rules of government under
which the priests of the church may enjoy greater
liberties This is very much in the nature of a
revolution, when the extreme conservatism of the
Catholic Church is remembered, but the heads of
the church realized long ago that something of
the kind was necessary to prevent rebellion.
No person but those who know the
inner workings of the church have any
idea of the completeness of the control
exercised by the digntaIies over those of low
degree. The intelligence of the priesthood has
increased in proportion to the growth of civilza-
ton, and the time has come when their rights
must be recognized. This has been shown in
our own community in the cases of Fathers
Hickey, Sheehan and Tracy, and these, import
ant as they are, have indicated only IN a
small degree the extent Of the turmoil. The
bishops have not suggested the reform eff their
own accord, As rule, they are not better than
other men, and surrender power reluctantly.
But it became apparent to their superiors long
ago that something would have to be done, and
the bishops have generously been permitted to
do the work. In what manner the system of
None but those who attend the convention will
know until after theresults achieved by them have
been approved by the Pope What have told
you Is correct and it will be the first ntimation
to the priests of the good fortune in store for
them Up TO the present time they have been
kept as much in Ignorance as persons entirely
on the outside"

Car Movement Over indianapolis Roads for
Six Years Past.
The exhibit given below shows the number of
cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis over
the fourteen roads centering here in the year
1888 as compared with that of the five years
preceding. When it is taken into consideration
that in the year 1883 there We're two more roads
doing business at this point than in the preceding
years. the exhibit is far from satisfactory, as it
will be noticed that there were 50 975 less loaded
ears handled at Indianapolis than in 1882,
and 1S,S2S less than in the year 1881.
A study of the car movements of 1883 shows
that this decrease has been largely in east bound
traffic, and in the months of August. Semtember
and October. With the north and south roads
the car movement the entire year. August and
September excepted was lighter than in any
year since 1878. The west bound movement Was
about per cent heavier than in 1882 and some
10 per cent heavier than in 1881 The last four
years there has been a steady increase in through
traffic westward. This is one of the favorable
omens of the traffic of 1888 Then. with nearly
all roads, there is from year to year an increase
in local business and last year was not an eX-
ceptiOn. The statistics given below will be Of in
terest to business as well as railroad men, so
closely allied are the interests of the railroads
with the business of the country.

The vandaIia Prosperous.

For several days past Harry Wetsel, agent of
the Nandalia at this point, has had some of his
clerical force engaged in preparing statistics of
the west-bound tonnage, of local character,
forwarded from indianapolis proper. Comparing
the tonnage of the six months ending Dee. l,
1888, with that of the corresponding half year,
1882. the exhibit is certainly crafty
ing one, it shows $3.50 tons of
freight were billed out in the six
msnths ending Dec. l, 1888 against 29,8O4 tons
in the corresponding period Of 1882, the increase
in 1888 being 1886 tons. And the exhibit of
earnings from carrying such business is even
more favorable, so much better are westbound
local rates being maintained in 1883 than in 1882.
