him to accompany him. The next day
''he was sorry that he spoke" for during
the revelries of the night, his watch and
some money were missing. 1t was evil
dent when the watchleSs man went to
look for letter, he had left for parts I'M
known. Last night, CAPTAIN Hughes ar
rested letter ana lodged him in jail for
being suspicious character. This morn
ing the prisoner was recognized as the
man seen with McMeanS and the Captain
went in search of the watch, which he
found without much trouble. letter at
first denied the charge but afterwards &C

fore Justice Adam while an affidavit was
made against him for theft over $40, and
in default of a ST. bond he was trans
ferred to the county jail to await the &C
tion of the grand jury.

LUTHER BENSON'S LECTURE.
A Great Crowd Turns Out TO Hear His Dis
cussiOn of the Whisky Traffic.

The number of people who gathered yes
terday afternoon to hear Luther Benson's
lecture at Tomlinson Hal, was a hand
some token Of their love of oratory, as
we'll as their interest in temperance work.
Over one thousand were present and
swer often IN prolonged applause to
the beautiful things said by the orator. his
humorous indulgencIes and graphically
painted truths.
The invocation was offered by Dr.. Van
Anda. Captain Ritter acknowledged his
allegiance to Mr.. Benson and his work and
paid a handsome tribute to his genius In a
short speech. Before beginning Mr.. Ben
son requested that the people In the gallery
come down and take seats on tho main
floor where they could hear better. This
was done.
The speaker began by stating that his
lite was full of regrets, but that he had
never regretted any kline thing he had ever
done. or any kind word be had ever spoken.
He proposed calling things by their right
names, and with his distinguished ability
proceeded to describe the evils of intern.
perance. The remedy was in the educa-
ton of the people to a proper understanding
of the vicious results that proceed from tho
use or alcohol. Fifty years ago it was i'm
possible to celebrate any event in the ab-
sence of four gallons of whisky. Modern
ideas and improvements on customs made
it possible for n man to be born, grow up.

discussed, and the fact that Pauis
advice to Timothy did not apply to it was
deduced. The use of alcohol in cases of
emergency was questioned. and the world
was defied to prove where whisky ever
saved q man. Mr.. Benson declared that he
was in favor of prohibition and q Prohi-
bitiOnist.
The vindictive propensities of mankind
were deplored. A very pretty picture was
drawn illustrative of such unchristiaD
indiscretion. The hail beat flowers and
tore vegetation in pieces. bat the sun
would come ont. melt the hall-stones. and
their liquid substance would, in time,
gladden. the victims of their anger. Never
think of getting even with people who

is too large TO step over / go around it,"
The lecture occupied two hours, but the
people were not tired of listening. The
latter part of it consisted of q description
of the death of Christ that was full of
pathos and strong beauty. The lecture was
lntersDersed with those happy pleasantries
for which MIR. Benson is noted.

BemOaniing.

A retail grocer was bemoaning his failure to get along pros
perously in business, and seemed to think it was not his fault. The
gentleman to whom he was talking was an ex-grocer, who had
retired with a snug fortune made out of the business. The ex- grocer,
in order to illustrate one of the reasons why a better trade was
lacking, called for a bottle of DIR. Prices Flavoring Extract of
Vanilla. "I do not keep it," said the grocer, "but 1 have an
extract just as good which 1 can sell at a less price" Here was a
convincing proof that there were very good reasons why trade was
best and finest goods and sold them at a fair profit Poor goods,
no matter at what price sold, will help to make your trade dwindle.
The acquisition or loss of trade goes on silently and steadily in
proportion as the grocer sells goods that please those who patronize
him. l always sold DR.. Prices Flavoring Extracts, as my customers
did not want cheapness at the expense of quality"

A Remarkable Average in Tonnage.


In the month of March there were re-
ceived and forwarded at Indianapolis over
the fifteen roads a total of III, 4OS cars, of
which number 90. los were loaded. which is
5,1S7 more loaded cars than were handled
at this point in March. 1891. The remarka-
BILE feature in last months business was the
average in tonnage from week to week. In
the week ending March 5 there were ham
died 1900 loaded cars; March II. Is. 49,;
March 10. 1865; March 20. 19.S04; April 2.
19,427. Usually there is q variance in car
movement from week to week of from 500
to 1000 loaded cars. Another feature of
last months traffic, with east-and-west
lines specially, was the evenness in
movement OF loaded cars in both
directions. On the Vandalia it varied but
W cars, on the Pennsylvania line but 112;
on the Big Four lines the difference east
and west was but n few hundred cars.
This is due to the fact that shipments from
tho sea-bOard to Western points,, largely
first-class freights. are recurring about as
many cars as are forwarded laden with
gram and other products of the West. IN
dianapoiis. it is stated. IS exceptionally
fortunate in this matter. OF
export freights are by no means as heavy
as thirty DAYS ago, while to Eastern States
the shipments OF grain, -four, hardwood
lumber, poultry. eggs and provisions
are heavier than thirty days ago.
An improvement in export business Is
looked for this month. but il IL very
evident. say freight men. that the grain
crops of 1891 will not be marketed by mill
ions of bushels before the new crops are
| ready for the market. Traffic with north
and-sOuth lines was never heavier. 1t will
be noticed that all roads are moving moro
than the ordinary average of loaded cars;
| especially do the Pennsylvania lines and
the Lake Erie & Western show a heavier
movement. The Improvement with north
and-south lines is largely of q local charac-
ter. which Is the more favorable TO carn-
Ings. Local business with east-and- west
lines is above the usual April tonnage, and
last month promises TO be largely In excess
of the corresponding month of 1891. At the
city freight dcpots and on loading and I'M
loading tracks there is unusual activity.
Below is given the number OF cars received
and forwarded at this point for the week
ending April =. as compared with the cor
responding week of the preceding "
years:
