AN ARTISTS COLLECTION.
The Works of an Indianapolis Artist Exhib.
tied at the DensOn House.

About the year 1871 Thomas B. Closing, the
scenic artist, left this city, where he had long re-
sided, to become the artist of the Globe Theater,
at Boston. He was quiet unobtrusive gentle
man, known to but few, but dearly priced by
those who knew his true value, as an artist
and man. He was an ardent lover of nature,
and liked nothing better than to take long walks
with chosen friend or two through the woods
or along the streams There was no one who in
that day knew better than he the spots where
nature appeared in her greatest loneliness, or
better knew her in her varying fancies of wood
and stream. In his leisure moments he amused
himself with placing the scenes of these rambles
upon canvass, or in the less enduring form of
pencil or crayon sketches.
About five years ago Mr. Glessing ldied, and
sometime after his widow returned to the old
home here No. 237 West New York street,
bringing with her large number of his pic
lures These to the mum Der of two hundred or
more-oil and water paintings crayon sketches
etchings etc.--were exhibited yesterday after
noon at the Denison House parlors to number
of ladies and gentlemen.
Among the pictures were number not of his
handiwork, but which were priced as the work,
and some Of them as the gifts OF brother artists.
Two of these. presents from the act
or Joseph jefferson, who was
close friend of Nj Closing, and
who is, as is we'll known himself an artist with
the brush and pencil, are palette-knfe sketch
and a water color of Horseshoe Falls" There
is also marine view, by Young, an English
painter; 1.-TWO Dogs" by g. Armfeld, an artist
of the Royal Academy; original water-coor
by Rowbotham, also an English artist, and "a
Child and Skull" an original of Benjamin West
the American who was the favorite painter of
his Majesty, George III
OF Mr.. Blessings paintings there are num-
Der that attract special attention. One of these
is young girl reading letter. The idea of the

scenes on White river, this county, one of them
being Rocky Ripple" six miles north of this
city. There are twenty-four oil paintings on
boards, several of them very beautiful, and
twelve monotypes from his own etchings.

The Cotton Crop Moving.

The cotton crop has just begun to move in
sufficient quantity to have an important effect
on the earnings of the railroads The total gross
overland movement OF cotton by rail since Sept. 1
shows an increase of 46 per cent. over the same
period Of last year and nearly "a per cent the
same period of 1888 The general course of the
greatest bulk of this traffic is from the States of
Texas. Arkansas Louisiana, Mississippi and
Tennessee toward New York, and its greatest
benefits fall the roads that lie in that general
direction. the Missouri, Kansas e. Texas Louis
vile & Nashville, ETC. But the largest part of
the overland movement to New York comes by
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to ST. Louis
Cincinnati and other intermediate river ports
and thence eastwood by the railroads north of
the Ohio river, benefting all the roads in the
southern half of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

Position of the Baltimore g. Ohio.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 19-Robert CARROTS atten-
ton was called tonight to the statements made
regarding his visits to Philadelphia, which were
in effect that no conclusion was reached, and
that his proposition to President Roberts was
indefinite He said, in response, that his propo-
siton was definite and distinct it being that
the Pennsylvania railroad should restore the
through train and car service of the Baltimore
q Ohio, on substantially the basis of 1884. This
was not agreed to by the Pennsylvania officials
Mr.. Garrett further says that he had deferred
his signature to the proposed presidents agree
ment solely for the purpose of
affording, if possible conditional
signature His company had asked nothing but
the just and reasonable provision that it should
be placed in the new pool where it was in the
old, regards facilities for the transaction of
New York and Philadelphia business. In the
absence of such facilities, the company could
not, in justice to its own interests, or
the interests of the public, be a party to
the proposed trunkiine passenger pool, and
Commissioner Fink had been so advised. If the
pool fails by reason of this, the B. & O. will not
be responsible, but the onus will rest upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for denying
those facilities which have been an essential
condition of all previous agreements between the
trunk lines

Meeting of General Passenger Agents.


Boston, Nov. ia meeting of the general
passenger agents of railroads interested in the
proposed Boston passenger pool, has been in ses-
sion here for two days, with S. F. Pierson, as
sistant commissioner, as chairman. The roads
represented include the New York Cen
bany, Fitchburg, Boston & Lowell, and the
central Vermont. The emigrant contract, which
is not to be included in the Boston pool was
agreed to by all the lines represented. The ques-
ton of the pooling of the first and second class
traffic from Boston was taken up but no agree
ment was reached. An agreement was made
to advance Western rates to full tariff
rates at the time they are restored in
New York, about Dec. l. 1t was agreed that
tickets purchased after the restoration of rates
at less than tariff rates are to be redeemed at
full rates through the assistant Commissioner
In New York. Owing to the non-agreement of
the Boston lines to formulate plan for the
pool, 1t was recommended that the matter of
issuing tickets should be referred to the general
manager for adjustment.
