A statue of Rev John c. Drumgoole, whose faithful labors among the East side poor of New York city well deserv- ed the honor, was erected the other day before the mission of the Immaculate Virgin at Great Jones street and Lafay- cite place. Robert Cushing was the sculptor, and he has represented the benignant priest with his breviary in his left hand while he lays his right hand on the head of newsboy, and on the other side of him another street urchin sits reading. Archbishop Corrigan unveiled the statue and there was a speech and the papal benediction by cable.

REMINDED OF A STORY.
Gov. Matthew's Boast Suggests the
Pointed Inquiry of a COlOred Brother.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
When Governor Matthews so eloquently
announced that the Democratic party had
made considerable payment on the large
Democratic debt 1t had been piling up dur
ing the twenty continuous years of it's
supremacy l was struck with the coinci-
dence that the amount paid was almost
to a dollar. if my memory served me
right, the amount received from the gov
eminent to reimburse the State for the
direct tax it had collected and paid on ac-
count of the war. and it recalled a hard
question propounded to me by a colored
brother few days before the taking effect
of the Presidents emancipation proclama-
ton. Captain Bryant, of Charlottesville.
in charge Of the commissary department
of General Grants army, then at Holly
Springs, was occupying the two rooms on
one side of the hall of one of the mansions
of the city whose male occupants were
all in the rebel army that were the COM
mon sitting rooms OF the family, when the
lady of the house with her two grown and
married daughters politely asked him if
he would be kind enough to move his office

Most Northernmost HALLWAY.

STOCKHOLM. Aug. THE new north
ern trunk line of Sweden has been

the speech Of his life upon this occasion.
The festivities surpassed everything seen in
this part of the world at n similar event.
and Will go down To posterity as an epoch
I'm Sweden's history. The just completed
railroad connects at Boden, near the Gulf OF
Bothnia, with the northernmost railroad in
Sweden (and in the whole WORLD running
from the seaport of Lulea up to the Gelli-
vara iron ore mountains forty-seven miles
north Of the polar circle. This road has
been in operation for a couple OF years,
and may be considered as the end piece in
the continuous string Of railroad of a length
of about 1850 miles. which passes from
south TO north. through the whole length
of Sweden. This Is a longer distance than
from Berlin TO Rome. Norrland herself
needs the railroad, may be seen by the
fact that this Swedish province provides
no less than - per cent. of the entire lum-
Der supply of the globe, or more than Can
ada and almost twice much the
United States. The enormous Gellivara
mines situated in Norrland. These
mines. the largest in the world. are con-
sdered capable of supplying the present
demands of the whole world as regards
iron ore for centuries The cost OF this

EMPTY CARS SCARCE
INDIANAPOLIS RAILROADS UNABLE
TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND.
I'm Consequence There Was "a Falling
on I'm Freight Traffic Last Week.
East-Bound Shipments Heavy.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis IN
the week ending Aug. IS a total OF 22,4S5
cars. OF that number 1855 were loaded,
which IS 491 fewer than were handled at
Indianapolis in the week ending Aug. IL,
but going back 10 the corresponding week
In 1893 il will be noticed that this year
1923 more loaded cars were handled. In
the corresponding week last year. however,
the loaded car movement was at the mini
mum. The decrease in the loaded car
movement last week as compared with the
week ending Aug. IL is wholly due to the
fact that none of the roads has cars to
fill orders. therefore any falling off in
traffic the next three months can be at
tributed to the scarcity of cars. 1t is very
likely that further decreases in the loaded
ear movement will be shown unless west
bound business improves and cars sent east
move more promptly.
There is considerable grain and large
quantities Of flour for export moving east
ward. and the shipments of cattle for
August are unusually heavy. Then the
shipments Of provisions and cereal products
continue large, all combining to make east
bound business fully 80 per cent. heavier
tnan at the corresponding period last year.
The outlook. freight men say; is favorable
ment for several months TO come. as when
the present accumulated business has been

Local business has improved of late;
still II IS by no means what it should be
or what it would be were the manufac
tories doing a good business. Aside from
the starch works, the cerealine mills and
the Standard wheel works, few manufac
tories are shipping many goods. Occa-
sionally there is a day when about the city
freight depots the. old time activity is
shown. AS the fall advances ii is hoped
that matters will greatly improve. Below
is given the car movement for the week
ending Aug - Aug IL and the corre-
spending week last year:

iva came along The Japanese gunboat
dropped her anchors when she reached sig
mailing distance and we did the same. Two
boats were lowered from the Naniwa and
her officers spent several hours on the Kow
Shing. sending boats back and forth in the
meantime. We were anxiously awaiting de-
velopments, but did not expect to see pow
der burned, as much on account of the de-
fenseless condition of the Kow Shing as
course, we knew as we'll as the Naniwa
that she had Chinese troops board.
Finally the boats returned to the Naniwa
ana the hoW Shlng went TO the lee OF the
island and anchored there by order of the
Japanese, as we afterwards learned.
''The next we knew. three hours later,
the trading steamer was under slow steam
and the Naniwa standing out for the
open sea, cleared for action. There was
not even half or quarter of mile be-
tween the two, nevertheless the big cruiser
tried some OF her heaviest metal on the
captive. Then she got her torpedoes work
ing, and in a few minutes the floating
Wreckage was all that was left of the we'll
known steamer. We lowered our boats,
picking up twenty-three men who were
swimming, two Germans, one Englishman
and twenty Chinese. The japanese were
shooting the swimmers in the water with
rifles and Calling guns when we came up,
but suspended firing and lowered boats,
too, though we did not see them pick any
one up. They said the transport was try
ing to escape. The Englishman picked
up told us he was merely shifting anchor
age so as to be safe from wreck at the
turn of the tide, and she was not so foolish
as to try to get away.
THE saddest part of the affair is that in
the excitement the Naoi disappeared.
Whether she, too, went under or escaped.
do not yet know. The Too Man stood
by to rescue the drowning Chinese from
the Kow Shing, although she was herself
badly crippled. This drew on her the fire
of the Naniwa, and another torpedo quick
ly settled her. The skipper of the Too Man,
l think, was an Englishman or an Ameri-
can. so / have been told. Whatever coun-
try he belonged to could be proud of him.
He faced the music with not a chance in
hundred, stood by the Chinese as long as
they fioated, and died game. 1t is said that
over one thousand lives were lost in the
engagement. Whatever the loss really was,
it was nothing but wholesale murder, and
if the japanese do not suffer in the long
run, it won't be because they do not de-
serve it,"

Broke Tn in n Fight.

HAMMOND. Ind, Aug; 1s-The Populist
county convention, called to meet in Hob
mans Opera House in this city tonight,
after being in session over four hours and
half, broke up in a fight. The trouble
started over a ruling of the Chair in decid-
ing motion to adjourn. The convention
was called to order at o'clock, and from
the start was in a state of turmoil. W. j.
Riley was chosen chairman and a commit
tee on resolutions appointed. The conven-
ton then took up the nomination of county
officers without waiting for the committee
reached an attempt was made TO nominate
Charles II. friedrich, the present Sheriff,
but the Chair ruled that his name could
not be entertained on account of his being
a Democrat. l.. G. Weeks, who is under
bonds to appear before United States Judge
Baker, was finally nominated. After the
entire ticket had been named some one dis
covered that all but two OF the nominees
We're from Hammond and only one farmer
urer and clerk declined the nomination. BY
this time nearly everybody had left the
haH. some one raised the point or order
that the whole proceedings were out of
order because the committee on resolutions
had not reported. The question was ar
sd tbs roe ePgtn o and o the of Chair air
der, and, on a division of the house
on appeal from the Chair the point of
order was sustained. Trouble broke loose
a this point and some one made motion
TO adjourn, and the chairman put the mo-
ton and pronounced it carried, when, in
fact, nearly everybody in the house had
voted against it. AS Chairman Riley stepped
off the stage he heard some one on the floor
call him vile name. He seized chair and
dealt the man a blow over the head that
knocked him nearly to the floor, and, not
satisfied with this, struck him several times
with his fist. Several persons joined in, and
free fight was soon in progress. 1t seemed
for a time that somebody would be killed,
as chairs were thrown around the room and
revolverS were drawn. No shots were fired,
however, and no one was injured beyond
few broken heads black eyes and bloody
noses. Thus ended the first Populist con-
venton held in this county since the COM
bination with the labor organizations
The Democratic party in this city is in
chaotic state. Scarcely day passes but
one or more persons declare their
intention of forsakinS their old
party and joining forces with
either the Populsts or Republicans The
great majority of these deserters have
turned to the Populists. At meeting held
recently for forming Populist club, $50
signed the roll of membership, 325 of whom
were former Democrats. BY no means
were all these from the rank and file, but a
number were old party bosses, who had
fought and won many battles for their old
party. The rank and file Uf the deserters
members of labor organizations, who
are for anybody who was in sympathy
with the A. II. l.. during the late strike.
The Popullsts are sympathiZers with the
Debs strike, and hope to have their ticket
Endorsed by the Democrats at their con-
Yention a week later.

Handsome Earnings.

including the third and fourth weeks of
