THE AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION.

The Work of the Entertainment Com

change To-night-List of Officers and
Members.
A MORNING NEWS reporter called last
night upon Capt. J. W. McAlpin, Treas
urer of the committee appointed to ar
range for the entertainment OF the deIe-
gates to the State Agricultural society
next week. with an inquiry as to Wnat
success the canvassing committees were
meeting with.
No complete report has yet been made,
b,1t "a far as we can learn. the response
has been liberal, and there is little DOUBT
but that the report which Will be made az
the general meeting tomorrow night; Will
show a large subscription, fully sunclent
to meet all the requirements of the CON-
mittee. and give the delegates a reception
and entertainment in accord with the
former reputation of the city for unstint-
ed hospitality.
HAS any programme been made out
yet for the cOnyentionW
"NOne definite. The committee APP
pointed for that purpose will report to
morrow night, when it is expected all the
arrangements will be complete"
''What is the object of the meeting To-
morrow 0lguLf

tions. and to arrange whatever may be
necessary to contribute to the success Of
the convention. 1t will not only be meet
ing Of the committees, but all who are in
terested in any way in the convention are
invited to be present"
Capt. McAlpin stated that so far as he
was afforded an opportunity to judge the
citizens were greatly interested IN the
matter, and that the meeting next week
would doubtless be more largely attended
here in the city than any that had ever

Comfort for the BOYS.

Col A A. Talmage, general manager of trans
portation of the Wabash system, was inter
viewed on Monday by representative of the St
Louis Post-Dispatch regarding his recent trip
over the Wabash system:
What did you learn on your trip over the
roadP asked the reporter.
''Well 1 found it good piece ofproperty, and
for the life of me can't see why it can't be made
to pay handsomely"
Didn't you find the Wabash in pretty bad
shape as to equipments, motive power and road
bedp
mot at ALL it is not in bad shape and com
pairing the wild statements of outsiders with the
real state of affairs, can safely say it is mill
ion times better off than the reports made it.
You can say the Wabash is all right"
How many division superintendent did you
come across whom you consider fit for the Off
cial axp
''Now, look here, the newspapers have got all
the boys worried. l have determined on no
changes, and never make changes until find
them matter of necessity. The Wabash is an
old road and the men here, for the greater por-
ton, have been connected with it for long time
and ought to be good men"

AN UNAPPRECIATED STATESMAN
How State Auditor Rice Started Out 70 Be a
Great Man and Was Disappointed.

Colonel j. H. Rice sat alone, bearing a discon-
solate and neglected expression of countenance,
when the Journal Minister of State Affairs
made his customary call at the Auditors
Office yesterday afternoon. The Colonel had not
been interviewed for as many as three days.
SIS the country safer inquired the newspaper
representative.
1.-The country is never safe when its safety is
questioned" replied the Colonel, and, as a pune
tuation of this bit of statesmanlike philosophy,
he hitched his shoulders over the back of his
chair in his favorite and most striking attitude.
You are becoming great statesman, Colo
nell remarked the reporter.
'Im no statesman. I'm practical politician
"a plain, practical politician. There is too
much greatness among men engaged in politics.
had the idea when was young and fresh that
the weight of the whole county where 1 lived
was resting on me. l believed that if l should
die the flags would be at half mast, the public
buildings would all be draped in mourning and
everything would be in danger-of going to
ruin. l was elected representative and came
up to Indianapolis filled with the idea that the
eyes of the people of the whole State were upon
me. | felt that a statesman. | expected
when l returned home after the session was over
that | would be given a grand reception; that
would be met at the depot with band playing
All Hail the Chief, and all that sort OF thing
When got back home l found things moving
along in the regular old way and the only notice
taken of my return was an occasional familiar
greeting. After 1 had been, at home
two or three days met an old citizen the
street who had voted for me. "How are you,
Jimmyl Where have you beenl" he asked me. In
time L came to The realization that better and
more useful men We're dying every day without
my knowing it. Finally cameto the conclusion
that if should drop off some one would proba-
n w he MIS-
and say in careless way Jim Rice is dead"
"'Whos Jim RiceF some fellow might inquire

galoot would probably remark and then call out,
what's trumps and this is the end of the great
joke that we call life"

Miscellaneous Notes,

The employees of the Edgar Thomson Steel
works last week. in twenty-four hours turned
out S73 tons of ngots, TAT tons of blooms and
700 tons of rails.
The earnings of the Toledo Cincinnati & St.
Louis road are said to be disappointing and
there is little to encourage Boston capitalists to
invest more money in it.
The New York Buffalo e West Shore road is
carrying It's to 200 through passengers daily
and its through and local freight traffic is fully
up to its expectations, it is stated.
Work on the Eureka g. Elk River railroad
California, is being pushed vigorously In the
tunnel now being pierced trunks of large trees
have been found i'll good state of preservation
300 to 400 feet below the surface.
On Saturday next the Rocky mountain and
Idaho divisions of the Northern Pacific railroad
are to be consolidated under the management of
one superintendent This lets out S. r. Henry
superintendent of the Idaho division
The Erie now has 5000 stockholders, an in
crease of $40 in the last three months. The
auditors report that for the quarter ended Dec
81 the company earned $68, 600 net. Deduct
dividend of $48, 900 and there remained 500, 900
to be credited to surplus, which was increased
to 900.
In the early days of railroad construction
nothing stronger than cold water was to be used
as stimulus by the officers, men contractors
The Boston journal says this latter proposition,
the first of its nature in our early railroad his
tory, probably suggested the later day practice
of so freely watering railroad stocks.
AS soon as the bridge at Ainsworth, w. T., is
completed, which, it is expected, will be about
April !, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
will put on a fast through express, from St
Paul to Portland in four days, to run in connec-
nection with the fast train over the Chicago
Milwaukee e. st. Paul road from Chicago.
The Union Pacific people have in the last few
months spent large sum of money in improve
ments to the Kansas Pacific road. The Burling-
ton & Quincy has secured large amount of pas
senger business Of Denver by reason of its road
bed and equipment being superior to that of the
Kansas Pacific division Of the Union Pacific,
which will make an effort to recover this bust
ness.
A telegram from Steubenville, o., says that
Judge Hare, yesterday appointed Hon. Robert
Martin, of that city, receiver of the Cleveland
Youngstown G. Pittsburg road upon application
of Carnegie Brother & Co, Pittsburg, Pa. This
road is 100 miles in length, running from Neho,
Jefferson county to Phalanx, Trumbull county,
where connection is made with the Mahoning
branch of the n Y, p. q o. road.

Fell from a Trapeze.

At the matinee performance at the Zoo, yes
terday, Mr.. and Mrs. Murrell, who do a very,
very daring and exceedingly dangerous trapeze
act, met with an accident which fortunately did
not result very seriously. Their apparatus is
suspended over the auditorium. One of thei1
combination acts is for the woman to drop from
the upper bur, catching on her husbands feet
below, and then being swung by him, head
downward. In doing this yesterday he missed
his hold and both fell, she in the AISLE aighting
on her feet without harm. He dropped dis
lance Of about eight feet, striking the back OF
chair, and was severely hurt in the back and
side, but is not thought to be dangerously in
iured. No such act as that of the Murrells
should be allowed without a net issuspended un-
der them.

There is little business, but rates have all gone
to hi, and our folks won't allow me to meet
them" just then three seedylooking fellows
came in; wanted TO go TO a Kansas point The
agent excused himself for a moment, called the
parties to one side, held whispering con-
ference three or four minutes turned around to
his chief clerk and said Have you got them
tickets filed QUIT" He answered, II will have
them ready in two or three minutes" One of
the party drew out his pocket-book, paid the
money for the three tickets, and departed. As
they went out the agent dropped the remark: 81
knew those fellows would come after the tickets,
and l sent over to the Union ticketoffice for
them, to be in readiness when the party re-
turned" Then assuming an innocent air, he
went on to say: II have written to our general
passenger agent how things are demoralized
here, and advised that the general passenger
agents get together as early as possible and
take some action to restore rates, or else give
me leave to meet any rate made" In
vestlgation, however, showed that the party
of three above alluded to was given a cut of
3d. 70 on each of the tickets sold. On every hand
there is evidence that west-bound passenger
rates are badly demoralized, which is the more
unfortunate for the roads, as business has just
begun to increase
