AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

The Banner Weeks Business Of the Year.
The train records show the car movement
of last week to have been the largest of any
week of the present year. and it is believed
that the climax has been reached and that
the movement will be no heavier. if as
heavy, the remaining weeks of the month.
or even of the year. 1t is claimed by some
of the roads that If the cars had been OBJ
talnable they would have made even
more favorable exhibit Some improve
ment in through business is shown, but IN
local traffic is it most marked Eastward
there has been an increased movement OF
grain. both for New York and New Eng
land points and for export. Shipments OF
lumber, slaves and heading. and of live
stock have also been heavier. The train
records show that west-bound business has
increased fully as much as did the east
bound traffic. Of course large per cent
of the business coming West is in first class
freights-dry goods etc.-but there is also a
good tonnage of sugars and other heavy
groceries, while the shipments of coal and
coke have increased considerably in the
last few DAYS. indianapolis, with it's nat
ural gas. is swapping its fingers at anthra-
cite coal anu COhc, Dub OtneI cltlcS are
stocking up as in former years, in anticipa-
tion of a cold winter. Local business is sell
dom heavier, and this covers most of the
traffic of the north-an d-south lines, which
it will be noticed, with all is largely in ex-
cess of last year. To say what the business
consists of would be difficult on account OF
its varied character. South and westward
it is made up largely of shipments of furni-
ture. machinery, farming Implements. pro-
visions and household goods, while north
ward it comprises articles of miscellaneous
character, Southern pine and Southern
produce being among the most important
features. A good revenue is obtained by
the north-and-south roads, as large Pei
cent. of the freightis carried on local rates
The through live stock movement, as vel
as the local. is largely in excess of last year
at the corresponding period, and all along
the line there is much to encourage persons
who are interested in the prosperity of the
railroads, which means prosperity gener
ally. Below is given the number of cars
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending Sept. z. as compared with
the corresponding weeks in 1888 and 1887

East, and forwarded east 904; the Cleveland

MORGAN'S DENIAL.
The Indian Commissioner Explains Why
 He Removed Catholics.

The Indian Commissioner Explains Why
 He Removed Catholics.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-In reply to the charges made by representative of the Catholic Church, that Commi issioner of Indian Affairs Morgan had discrimin ated against those of the Catholic faith in making appointments, that gentle man has prepared letter of defense which has been forwarded to the Secre tary of the Interior, and a copy sent also to MT. Halford, the Presidents private secretary. The Commissioner makes general denial, setting forth the reasons for certain removals made.
 A young lady, who is said to be a pro- tege of Miss DreXel and Catholic, the letter states, was removed from Haskell Institute because she became infatu- ated with an Indian boy, and ''her con duct caused so much unfavOrable com ment that the lad was sent home to avoid scandal" She was offered another place, removed from the disadvantages of the one she previously occupied, but it was declined.
 In the case of the principal teacher of the institute, he was, the letter states. permitted to resign because of regard for his feelings, he having been guilty of drunkenness on several occasions.
 While three Catholics had been re- moved since July 1 from Hasllill Insti- tute, eight Protestants had shared a similar fate.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. IT. - Secretary Tracy was before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs when Senator Hale's bill to further increase the naval estab- lishment was under consideration.
 The bill as introduced authorizes the President to have constructed by con- tract eight battle ships of 7,500 to 10, 0O0 tons displacement, two armored coast defence vessels, three gun-boats of 500 to 1900 tons displacement, and five first-class torpedo boats. The ships are to be constructed of material of domes- tic manufacture and if satisfactory con- tracts cannot be secured then the Sec rotary of the Navy may have them built at the navy yards.
 The Secretary went at length into the policy of the department, which is, in brief, as he expressed it, to build an effective navy. He favored the com bill. Some suggestions were made to the committee during Secretary Tracy s statement by Naval Constructor Gate wood, who, with Captain Sampson, Su- perintendent of the Naval Academy; Lieutenant Mason, and Prof. Soule, ac- companied the Secretary.

 About thsee years ago a woman died and made him executor of her estate. He wrote her will, in which she be- queathed her real estate to certain of her relatives, but it did not say any thing about the personal property, which amounted to $500. Another rela- tive, who had been loft out in the cold as an heir to the woman's real estate, made claim to the personal property.
 Gregg stated to the Court that he knew tho dead woman meant that her personal property was also to go to the heirs enumerated in the will, and re- fused to make it over to the contending heir. The Judge then sent him to jail until he would consent to settle the estate as directed by the Court. Gregg claims that he Is right, and says he will never change his mind on the suh6cct. He seems perfectly contented with his lot and says he is satisfied to die ill his belief.

Jake ksIHa1n Claims that tho Referee NAB
 Against Him In the Sullivan Mill.
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 17..-Kilrain, hay ing appealed and given bonds, is spend- ing few days at Richburg. before com ing to New Orleans. The verdict was a compromise. Those who later voted for acquittal fancied the fine would only be s25, and no imprisonment. Had they known about the imprisonment they would have hung the jury.
 Kilrain said he was heartily sick of prize-fghting and would henceforth de- vote himself to some legitimate busi- ness. In regard to his last fight, he said that he had hard luck with the referee, and the fight should have been awarded to him; that Sullivan jumped on him deliberately and not by acci- dent, as claimed by the big pugilist.
 He asked if Sullivan was in anyway disfigured after the fight and when told that the Boston boy had @ cut under tho right eye, he said: Well, am glad l left some mark on him. The general public, from what has been printed in the newspapers about the fight, are of opin- ion that 1 received a sound drubbing. We'll, acknowledge got licked, but ii I had received only half the blows said to have been been given mo l would never have needed to return to Purvis to stand trial. l consider that while my sentence is hard ono, it is light as compared with Sul1ivan's."
