SLAVERY.
ARE THE DAYS OF ITS CRUELTY
OVER:
MUCH MORE SUFFERING FROM IT
THAN EVER SUPPOSED.
THE GREATEST FRIEND AMI EMAN-
CIPATOR IN THE HISTORY
OF SLAVERY.

Are the days Of slavery at an end? Let
us hope hat the old time custom of con-
filming slaves is passed. But there is an
other kind of slavery, more fearful in its
ravages and more far reaching in its terri
bic results; it is disease, and when a pei
son is once in it's grasp he is indeed help
less.
And this slavery, which has lasted so
many thousands OF years, is still uncon-
quered. and all countries are crying for
a deliverer. Of late there has sprung up a
subject which is interesting the entire
world.
The p~ropounder of this new theory is
rapidly proving himself to be the greatest
humanitarian and emancipation of the sick
ever known.
The following letter will explain itself.

RAILWAY SCHEDULES
Important Conference at Wash
ingtOn OH the Subject.
Representatives of All Systems and the
lnterstate-COmmerce Commission
ers Discuss Rate Sheets.

A large number of railroad men, repre-
senting all leading railroad systems and
traffic associations. assembled at the In
terstate-commeTce Commission headquar-
ters in Washington yesterday, in response
10 a circular inviting common carriers to
send representatives TO a conference nav
Ing in view the prescribing of form sched-
ules OF rates and charges required by the
1nterstate-commerce act TO be kept open to
public inspection. The members of the
commission present included Messrs. Morri-
son. chairman, Veazey, Knapp and Glenn
entS. After a short conversation Auditor
Mccain, Of the commission, read a form of
schedule OF rates and charges pre-
pared by him This form, it was thought,
In a measure at least, would obviate the
difficulties now encountered under the pres
ent system and was intended largely as a
basis Of discussion. The form presented
by Mr.. Mccain was for a tariff on the Wa
bash from st. Louis to a number OF points
east. There was a general discussion Of
its provisions. the railroad representatives
pointing out their views of the form sug-
gested and the impracticability Of pub
fishing a tariff from every station over the
lines to every station in the country to
which they might ship freight. They also
expressed their willingness to meet the
commission half way in it's effort to i'm
prove the existing condition of affairs.
The railroad men suggested several forms
OF schedules. and after considerable discus
sion the representatives of the freight bust
ness Of the roads represented Withdrew to
the auditors room. and with the latter Off
er went over the forms proposed with a
view to agreeing on a plan of schedule that
Will be presented to the commission to-day.
The commission then discussed the same
general question with the representatives
or the passenger departments. The pas
senger men seemed much less inclined TO
agree to any form Of schedule that would
give the local rates Of every road particle
pattng In a through rate than the freight
men and pointed out at some length the
objections to such a practice. II was argued
that the publication of the local passenger
tariffs would not be of any benefit to the
public. would not make complaints of ViO-
latonS of the law any less frequent, and it
was asserted that the passenger agent who
cut rates could wiggle out Of the trouble
all the same and sell cheaper tickets; be-
sides II would be a heavy expense. The
tariffs as published now and filed with the
commission were a sufficient compliance
with all the requirements of the law.
Nessrs. p. :. Eustis, of the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy, and y. A. Ford, of the
Pennsylvania road and Vandalia lines. and
others made statements in support of the
position taken by the passenger men.

Two Loves and Not Happy.

William and Carrie Love were the prin-
cipals in a quiet little wedding ceremony
which occurred in Lawrenceville, Ill, dur
ing the month of roses in the year 1889.
Amid the simple surroundings of country
life they passed their honeymoon. and then
came to Indianapolis to live. The happi-
ness of a year was William s. Then do
nestle troubles clouded his matrimonial
sky. From the burden of a complaint filed
yesterday for divorce it appears that the
snares of city life captured Mrs. Love.
one Ed Delete. she fed with him. Her
husband, in his complaint, alleges abandon
ment by reason of the elopement, and
prays for the decree of divorce. He AYERS
that he did everything in his power to
make his wife a happy woman, but failed.

Time Extended i'm Iron Hall Case.

Judge Winters has extended the time for
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Maryland to report to the receiver of
the Iron Hall. The reports will not be
made until the cases in these States are
adjudicated. In the four States the receivers
are awaiting the order of the court to re-
port the assets collected to receiver Failey.
When Judge Winters made the order pro-
viding for these reports to be in by Feb.
q it was expected that the decision in the
suit of the receiver against the Somerby
Bank at Philadelphia would be forthcoming,
but there is little probability Of this now.
If the suit is successful there is little doubt
that the distribution will be much larger
for those Interested.

A suit for damages by alleged breach of

in Room 8 of the Superior Court. The
plaintiff, Benjamin Lucas, alleges that a
year ago last October he leased a certain
piece of land from John Chew. He pur-
posed cultivatinS the ground for tomatoes,
and went to Kentucky TO employ a large
number of men who understood tomato
culture. He did not return until March,
and alleges that in his absence Chew had
released the land to other parties. Lucas
claims that he was put to great expense,
and asks for a Judgment of 81 1000.
