CAR-SERvICE ASSOCIATIONS
Good Thing for the Railroad, but Some
times Injurious TO the Shipper.
The Latter Often Subject to Serious Less
through Delay in Switching, trtif He Is Not
Prompt in Unloading He Is Mulcted.

In the report of the last meeting of the
Indiana Car-service Association, mention
was made that there was considerable
friction. No one questions that the asso-
Citations are beneficial to certain extent.
but, after all, their operation Is one-sided.
If a shipper or conslgnee holds a car for
loading or unloading over forty-elght hours
he Is charged 81 day demurrage; when
the railroad holds his car in its yards
week or six weeks. the conslgnee has no
recourse, nor does the shipper, who is anx-
lous to have car placed for loading. At
the present time, grain men. lumber deal
ers and brick makers, to say nothing OF
manufacturers generally, are much
troubled by the diliatoripess of the roads
in furnishing ears or delivering them on
switches when shipped in here
loaded with any articles used by
the various industries. Yesterday a car
load of gram was delivered to the con-
slgnee. which was shipped from a station
12S miles from Indianapolis, Sept. %; by the
decline In grain the shipper is out S23 on
this car, and for some days 1T has been
standing on an Indianapolis side-track.
Grain shipped from here often stands on
eide-traGks within the-city limits for some
days; ten days would seem ample time to
get grain from Indianapolis to New York
or Philadelphia. yet cases are given where
it has taken, recently. six weeks, and three
cars were delivered this week which were
billed nine weeks ago; the decline on the
product amounted to over 500, but the
shipper has no recourse Tor damages. In
this city building has been stopped for two
or three days at a time because brick or
stone was not placed on the switches after
arrival; the same is true as regards lumber.
vet these very shippers or consignees are
charged 81 day If. after car is placed, IL
is not loaded or unloaded within forty
eight hours.
A high Official. ip speaking of the lack of
harmony In the Indiana Car-seryico Asso-
citation Oh certain questions, said: Il am
strongly In favor of car-service associa-
tions. but think there are cases where the
agent of a road should have power to re-
fund demuTrage charges. To illustrate:
When a road, through contributory negli-
gence or lack OF power TO Go switching,
places ten or fifteen loaded cars at one
time on q sde-track, whom q cOnsignee can
unload bat three to five cars per day, he
should be exempt from paying demurrage,
as it Is more the eOmpany's fault than that
OF the consIgnee. AS the rules now stand
no such exemption can be allowed unless
the railroad company ignores the rules of
the association, as has one of the Indianap-
oils roads"

Union Seminary May Lose a Million.

Union Seminary May Lose Million.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-Anxiety is felt by the
nineteen directors Of Union Theological Semi
nary who voted TO sever the seminarys connec-
ton with the General Assembly Of the Presby-
terrain Church to the disposition of over 81
100000, which was donated to that institution
during its loyalty to the General Presbyterian
Assembly. 1t is possible that action may be in
stituted against the seminary, taking the funds
from it and placing it in the hands of Rev. DR..
Booth. Inasmuch as DR.. Booths resignation
from the directorate is likely TO occur In the near
future, the remaining directors feel uneasy. DIR.
Booths position is well known. He held from
the first that the contract made by the seminary
with the General Assembly i'll 1870 could not be
abrOgated in good faith.
Rev. DIR. Thomas Hastings, president OF the
seminary faculty aud eX-nemher of the board OF
trustees laughed when asked about the forfeiture
OF the endownments. "In the first place." said
he. "Our accounts were all made without any
conditions whatever. consequently they cannot
be considered as dependent upon any action of
the seminary In the second place, not single
one of the donors, rs far as know. has had any
fault To find with our action in reference TO DIR.
Briggs. OF the 100000 in endown ments,
100000 was Dequeathed by Ex-Governor Nor
gan, 100000 by James Brown, $4,000 hy the
late Mr.. Fayerweatber. $4,000 by Russell Sage
$4,000 by Marillus Hatley ana the balance came
from various sources. John Crosby Brown son
OF James Brown, is q member or our board OF
trustecs and voted with J."

E. A. Peck, general superintendent of the

on the Big Four lines at Cleveland, where
it was reported the strike would be in

road. and 20 per cent. of the Cleveland
switohmen own homes. have never struck
unless in eympathy with other strikers,
and in those cases renamed quietly at
home and returned when it was safe for
them TO work. A journal reporter was
last evening informed that the talk of q
strike on the Big Four and Pennsylvania
lines grew out of movement of the

Columbus. Cincinnati. Indianapolis and

will simply ask that the hours be made
uniform on all roads at the points above

Importance, but the French have estab-
lished military post there because
they intend to make FL Goiea the start
ing point for all their movements in
the directions of Tuat and the other
GASES south of FL Golea, which are now

gions in the Sahara where caravans can

NEUROLOGY of the Ell Golea re-
gion. He says there Is plenty OF
water under the sand, and that 1t
can be brought easily to the surface.
His purpose is to tan the subterranean
supplies and lead the water along the
dried-up bed of the Wady Seggeur.
From the main ditch side bitches are to

gineers expect to fertilize number OF
thousands of acres of land Mr.. Roi-
land says there is no expectation that
the new basin can be developed to as
great an extent as that of the Wady
Rir, where hundreds of thousands of
date palms are f1ourishing, although the
place had only desert sands few years
ago; but he expects at least to restore
the plain of Ell Golea its ancient pros
perity, for there is no doubt that a large
oasis was there once, and that it has
gradually diminished in size owing to
the encroaching deser t, which has been
pushing further north, the winds car
rying the sa nd toward the Mediterran-
can, destroying all vegetation. and max
ing desert where verdure had existed.
The revivified oasis will at least be
large enough to nourish garrison.
France expects to keep large force al
Ell Golea, because military operations
against the tribes further southwark
will have to be on an important scale.
1t will. therefore, be great point
gained to obviate the necessity of bring
ing big supplies of provisions to 81
Golea for the purpose OF revictuallna
the garrison there.

It is not generally known that it is to
Isaac Holden, NJ. P, that we owe the
invention of the lucifer match. This
discovery was, he himself has told a
writer in the Pail Mall Budget, the re-
suit of happy thought. ''In the morn
ing used to get up at o'clock in order
to pursue my studies, and used at that
time the flint and the steel, in the use
of which found very great inconven-
fence. OF course I knew, as other
chemists cid, the explosive material
that was necessary in order to produce
instantaneous light; but it was very diff
fcult to obtain light on wood by that
explosive material, and the idea &C.
