a Western trip. visiting first Cleveland,
and then Chicago, st. Paul. Milwaukee,
Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis and Pc

White. who left the Big -Four a few weeks
ago to accept his present position. says his
surroundings are very pleasant, and he al

For years Mr.. White and f. b. Thomas.
first vice president Of the Erie system,

White states that in August the freight
earnings Of the lines were handsomely in
excess of those of August last year. but

Will hold over their surplus above require
ments, hoping for better prices next spring.
From Illinois and Indiana he looks for a
good movement after the lakes close, which
are now the disturbing element, in a large
measure, in rates. While he was noncom-
initial as regards the rate situation, from
the tenor Of his remarks one would judge
that at pooling points the weaker lines
were shading rates to keep up their per-
centages, but the chief trouble in the sit
uation, he said, was that the alexandria,
lines were not living up to agreements,

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 22.-Hon. Jesse
Overstreet, candidate for Congress In this
district, opened his campaign in this coun-
ty last night at EliZabethtown. He was
greeted with a crowd of about four hun
dred that listened to his well directed speech
for an hour and a half. Mr.. Overstreet
handled the issues now before the people
in a manner that pleased his constituents
and a large number of Democrats who
were present. Prominent among his hear
ers were a number OF Cooper men, who
heretofore were loud in that mans praises.
During the last session Of Congress they
became disguised at Mr.. Cooper's v~aclllat-
ing course, and will not now support him.
Tonight Mr.. Overstreet addressed a large
crowd of Republicans a. Hope. These are
the only speeches that he will make in this
county until after Oct. 10, going from here

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Sept. q. The
breath OF life had scarcely left the body of
their victim when a mob of three hundred
enraged citizens of McGehee, Ark, secured
Luke Washington, Richard Washington and
Henry Crobyson, the three negroes who
murdered Fl. G. Patton, at McGehee, yes
terday morning and strung them up to tele-
graph poles, and their limp and lifeless
bodies, perforated with b%uckshot, are now
dangling in the air near the scene of the
crime.
The three negroes yesterday morning
burst into the store of Mr.. H.. c. Patton, x
prominent merchant, at McGehee, and. aft
err beating him into insensibility with clubs,
dragged him TO the rear of his store, where
the knife was brought into use to make
their work doubly sure, and their uncon-
scious victims throat was cut from ear to
ear. The negroes then rified the store Of
a small amount of money and what goods
they could carry away and fled to Pine
Bluff, where they were captured last night.
They were taken back to McGehee to-day
and at the coroner's inquest broke down
and confessed their crime, relating every
detail of the deed.

GRAMMAR is In LUCK
OFFERED POSITION ON LAKE SHORE
As GENERAL FREIGHT AGENT.
Erie officials ON a Western Trip of
observation-disclosures Show In
creased Freight Business.

The Journal has Information from a close
friend Of c.. j. Grammar that ne has been
offered and will probably accept the posi-
ton OF general freight agent of the Lake
Shore road. Mr.. Grammar was for years
connected with the Mackey lines. and UNI
der his management as traffic manager
they prospered, but after the relations of
President Mackey and Traffic Manager
Grammar became strained and the latter
left the roads their business dropped off.
It is minated that President ingalls,, Of
the Big -Four, recommended Mr.. Grammar
to General Manager Caldwell Mr.. Ingalls,
some time ago said he looked upon Mr..
Grammar as an unusually capable freight
man. and if he had a position open it
would readily be given him
Freight business Increasing.
Che train records show that 10 the week
ending Sept. q there were S72 more loaded
s2rs received amp forwarded at Indian
apolis than in the week ending Sept. 10.
The Improvement was largely in west
bound through traffic and in local business.
East-bound the grain and freight move
ment was lighter than in any week Of the
last two months. The shipments East of
cerealine products, provisions. produce.
lumber and live stock average well with
some weeks past, anu III HiueS, AcltAii1Sio,
slaves, heading, ETC., the shipments have
increased Of late somewhat, while in west
bound traffic a marked improvement Is
noticeable. In both high and low class
freights there has been an increase. The
shipments to Western markets of sugars
the last ten days have been unusually
heavy. reaching trainloads. The tonnage
of nails, glass, anthracite coal, coke and
IRON structural work is shown by the bill
ing to be steadily on the increase. 1t is
noticeable that with each year the trans
continental line business is increasing, both
east and west-bound, over indianapolis
lines. Every year makes Ii more apparent
that Western merchants and Pacific coast
merchants are realizing that the midland
routes across the country offer decided adj
vantages over Southern lines or those via
Chicago. Local business last week was at
about a maximum; this was in part due
10 the attractions at indianapolis and the
low rates, which brought the retail mer-
chants in In large numbers. Aside from
this there is more activity with the various
manufactures While the old-time volume
has not been reached, there has been such
an Improvement as to make it noticeable
in the freight yards and about the city
depots. where forces are being increased,
both in yards and depots. Below Is given
the car movement for the weeks ending
Sept. %, Sept. 10 and the corresponding
week last year.:
