The w. G. T. u. and License Laws.

TO the Editor of the Indiana polls Journal
You are pleased to say that the synthesis
between our Endorsement of Messrs. Murphy
and Morrison in their effort ito enforce the Sun
day and liquor law" and our denuncation of
license laws unjust, unwise and unchristian'
lis hard to discover" Let me helpyou If you
are honestly hunting for the ''synthesis" per-
haps | may uncover that which conceals it.
First, the habit of disregarding any law brings
all law into contempt and all the more certainly
if that disregard is winked at by the press and
by the officers who arc specifically charged with
the enforcement of law. it was the notorious
disregard of the Sunday laws Of Cincinnati, and
the acquescenee in that disregard, which trained
the rioters who burned the courthouse and
killed some fifty men in the riot, in that city.
year or two ago. Every active participant in
that riot was from the saloons of that city
that had defed the Sunday laws with
impunity. The failure of the court
to hang a murderer was a mere wayside Incl
dent The w. c. T. U. is in favor of enforcing
the Sunday law here, and what little there is in
the liquor law aud hence they rendered these
men their moral sympathy, for they have moth
ing more substantial to offer. Do you take us
to be such fools to wish to educate the chill
dren of this State to resist every law that may
net suit us9 General Grant never uttered II

The Central Traffic Association Under 6
Cloud.

Cloud.
President Ingalls,, of the c., l., St l.. g. c., is
said to have become thoroughly disguised with
agreements entered into by railroad officials, so
much of "fzzle' has the Central Traffic Associa-
ton agreement, but recently entered into, proved
to be. Investigation shows that the second day
after the agreement was made two Chicago
roads cut below the rates which they agreed to
maintain until another meeting was held,
and now matters seem more demoralized than
ever. The details of the organization Of the
Central Traffic Association provide for COM
missioner and arbitrators, and divide roads west
Of the terminus of the trunk lines, north Of the
Ohio river and east of Milwaukee, Joliet,
Peoria and St Louis, into twenty sections, each
with its local board. The main feature of the
agreement is that the allotted percentages of
tonnage shall be evened up by diversions.
Should balances have not been eguaized in this
way. at the end of each month they are to be
settled by cash payments. While the machinery
overcome the old difficulty so often alluded to-
In the first place, there is not enough business
at present for all the roads; and, in the next
place, there are throughout the territory of the
association any quantity of small, roundabout or
bankrupt roads, all of which, under one pretext
or another. demand percentages to which the
more direct or stable lines cannot accede They
consequently begin cutting rates. The thing
most unfayorable in the formation of this asso-.
citation is the provision to even up tonnage by
diversion. Business men will fight any associa-
ton which takes this method of settling its
percentages.

The talk of a receivership for the c., c., G. &

the earnest solicitation of friends Of the proper
ty, the Importance of a denial of such rumor, if
there is grounds for it, has been pressed
homo upon the management at Cleveland, Ohio,
and il answer to the direct question. is there
any grounds for such unfavorable rumors? one
of the higher officials. who is in a position to
know the financial condition of the property,
states-we gire his exact words, Except there
should be state of affairs come to the surface
that is to them unexpected, and seemingly
impossible there cannot be any need for a re
ceivership, and there is nothing at all wrong"
This is as much as President Roberts, of the
Pennsylvania road, or President Bliss,
of the Boston & Albany road,
could say safely. and certainly will
do much to alleviate the anxiety
of the friends of the road as to its future.
There none cruel as to wish to see roads

whether any railroad prop erty has value. I'm
questionabiy the Bee-line, with the Indianapolis

condition, are in better shape than ever be-
fore to handle freight. The only problem to
solve is to bring about restoration and better
maintenance of rates, which will yield some
revenue for services rendered, and recent off,

Western merchants can congratulate them
selves on the fact that. there is to be no more
diversion Of freights to even up the West-bound
pool per cents. This has, in fact, been the stu
alton for several months past, no freight having
been diverted since the end of January. and the
evening up or settlements within the pool have
been effected by money settlements, return to
the. money pool system. which has been tried
several times before and never found satisfac-
tory, the roads doing the business best by
reason Of their superior facilities naturally be-
ing unwilling to turn over to their less favored
competitors the revenues derived from the
transportation of goods over their own roads.
Several of the roads are said to be agitating
a reconstruction of the pool the gross
percentage system, but it is not likely that
the roads with the best facilities and which the
merchants openly state viii now be selected as
the carriers of frst-class freight will be willing
to agree to this The signature of the agree
ment by the New York Central is looked upon by
the merchants as direct and frank declaration
on its part that it proposes to take whatever bus
mess the merchants may be willing to give it
| regardless OF the other roads in the pool. The
same is true of the Pennsylvania, and if the
agreement is signed by all the roads the first
effect will be reduction Of rates by the least
favored to Offset the advantages believed by the
merchants to be the peculiar features Of the
roads which have heretofore given them the best
service. The pith Of the agreement the New
York Central has entered into with the mer-
chants is that any merchant who shall have
shipped first-cass freight which is diverted con-
trary to its directions, shall have paid to him by
the SAID rilroad company whatever damage he
may have suffered, together with a return or
| remission of any charges for freight that he may
have paid or incurred and that if, by reason of
such diversion done or suffered by said New
York Central ard Hudson River Railroad Com
pany, such goods shall have been lost or damaged
upon an insovent road, said New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Company will itself
assume the payment of such loss or damage as
though said loss or damage had been suffered or
done upon its own road.

A SENSATION IN NORWICH.
ASENSA1IUN IN NUFx WHCHs Bank Officials DabbIe in Wall Street and Lose Thousands of Their Banks
 

NORWICH, Conn. Jan 1S.-After weeks labor here Bank Examiner Mygatt has dis covered that $50, ,00O are missing from the funds of the Shetucket National bank. James M Meech, cashier of the Merchants bank, and Charles Webb, assistant cashier o the Merchants bank and until recently pres dent of the Shetucket bank, have confessed that they lost the money in Wall street. Cashier William Roath of the Shetucket bank is jointly responsible with Webb for the loss of the $50, 1000 there. The Merchants bank is the oldest in the city and was the repository of the city and town as well as of the treasurers of many neighboring towns. Its capital stock is $500, ,000. State Senator John Brewster, it's president, wept like a child when told of the trouble and thought the capital would have to be sealed down and the stockholders as- sessed. The fund-tampering of Meech and Webb dates back ten years, but their repu- tations for honesty was unimpeached and they had no trouble in deceiving the direc- tors. Shetucket bank was founded in 1852. The capital stock is S100,000 and it has surplus fund of $300,00Q. The defaulters will be arrested to-mor- row morning There is little sympathy for them. Excitement over the affair is intense. Norwich has the reputation of having more stock speculators than any other city of its size in the country, nearly s, 900, GOO having been lost here, and it is prophesied that a large business house will soon succumb. Webb has been city treasurer for several years and has had the handling of over $100
 900 of the citys money annually. Some fears as to the safety of the city's funds are expressed. Both banks will open for busi- ness tomorrow as usual.

The Admiral MOOrsOm Co1l1des with
 An American VesseIGreat Loss Of
 Life.
 LIVERPOOL, Jan. 1S-The fears entertained for the safety of the packet steamer Admiral Moorsom, plying between Dublin and Holy head prove to have been fully justified. The steamer collided with the American ship Santa Clara, from Liverpool for New York, and was sunk. The Santa Clara landed twelve of the sunlzen steamers crew and two of the passengers at Holyhead The lost steamer was staunch built vessel of some eight hundred tons burden, and was one of the fleet of freight and passenger steamers owned by the London and Northwestern rall- way and run in connection with thelr tram service. The steamer carried a crew of be- tween twenty and thirty persons. The cap tain of the Santa Clara reports that his yes sel came into collision with the Admiral Moorsom on Thursday evening off Holyhead. The Santa Clara was but little damaged, but the Admiral Moorsom, which was struck nearly amidships, sank almost immediately. The captain and crew of the Santa Clara did all in their power to save the lives Of those on board the sinking vessel, but heavy sea was on at the time of the collision and tWeIVe of the crew and four passengers were drown ed. The remainder of the crew and passen- gers of the i1l-fated packet not rescued by the Santa Clara were picked up by another vessel and are supposed to be safe.
 Another account of the sinking of the Ad- miral Moorsonl says that from ten to fifteen of the persons on board the steamer at the time of the collision, including six of the crew, are missing. The vessel was run down off Southstack lighthouse. The steamer sank in few minutes. Two of her sailors climbed into the rigging of the Santa Clara A number of others, including two soldiers, took to 8 boat which was rescued by the Santa Clara It is feared that the rest of those on board the steamer at the time of the collision, including two women. were lost. aged. She was lowed to Holyhead.
 Later accounts from Holyhead state that the Admiral Moorsom had eleven passengers on board and that only two of them were

HENRIETTA, Texas, Jan. 18.--At Vernon on the Panhandle Friday night Levy Merri- son, cattle man, was called to his door and shot without warning. It is not known who did the shooting. A few weeks ago James Wilson's livery stable was burned with some cowhides which were being stored as evidence against certain parties accused of stealing cattle The killing of one Jones recently grew out of this matter. It is uncertain how many more men will be shot down as there are several others interested. There seems to be an effort to destroy the evidence. It is also reported that James Wilson, one of the most respected citizens of Wilbarger county, was assassinated Friday night. No details are known.

On taking the chair Governor Curtin made an eloquent speech, in the course of which he stated his fixed determin- ation of bringing in a bill at the next session of Congress for the placing of General Ros- encrans on the retired list. He further stat ed his belief that it was the duty of the country to properly provide for such soldiers as Slocum and Averill. Both sentiments were received with great applause.
