Although the Mexican war dates on the

adhere to the absurd and homogeneous idea
OF making the monument commemorative
of all the wars and unpleasantnesses IN
which Indiana soldiers have been engaged.
Indeed, they go much further and take in
the Indian and British war of 1911, which
occurred six years before Indiana became a
State. and even the war of the revolution,
which occurred long before even the Terri

commissioners insist on perpetrating this

THE SAM ROAD MANAGEMENT. c
why the Passenger Trains Have Been
Taken Off.

General Manager Gabbett, of the Sa-
vannah, Americas and Montgomery road,
was in the city yesterday and was asked
what was the foundation of the com
plants against the road, particularly
with reference to its passenger service.
Mr.. Gabbett said there was comp laint
because passenger trains had been taken
off, but they were not taken off to injure
the road, but to bring the operating ex-
pense within the revenue. The road, he
said is being run by receivers, under the
direction of the court. The aim is to
make the road earn its operating eXpen-
ses, and, if possible, something more.
For six months, beginning Dec. l last,
the road failed to earn its operating ex-
penses by S25, 600. Then Receiver Haw-
kins asked if expenses could not be fur
ther reduced so that they would be with
in the earnings. That expenses should be
further reduced seemed also to be
the wish of the court. Mr.. Cab
bett says he consulted with his as
sistanUs and recommended the sus-
pension of the passenger trains. The
recommendation was approved by Re
ceiver Hawkins and was not opposed by
Receiver Hamilton. The passenger
trains were taken off and the result is
that the road paid operating expenses,
and So, 900 besides, during the month of
June, and made equally as good a show
ing for the month of July.
Mr.. Gabbett says the road cannot afford
to rum the passenger trains and that is
the so reason they were taken off.
There is no purpose, he says, to iniure the
road. The road is being run on business
principles. There is nobody to put up the
money to give the public Accommodations
that do not pay
Asked about the refusal of the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery roads
officials to attach the Americas military

press, about which there has been some
controversy, he said that there was some
misunderstanding relative to that matter,
and that ne regretted greatly that the
military men were put to any inconven-
fence.
