ending Sept. q. came near handling their
maximum volume Of traffic, receiving and

corresponding week of 1894 of los cars,
and over the corresponding week of 1888 Of
Los loaded cars. In each case the loaded
car movement was about the heaviest of
any week In the years 1894 and 1893. con-
sequentiy the increase this year means a
decided Improvement in business, and the
fact that the business is carried at paying
rates makes IL plain that handsome in
crease in freight earnings will result. The
Increase IN business was quite general with
all the roads. The Pennsylvania lines show
ing the largest increase. The Panhandle

business by ninety-four loaded cars of any
previous week in the roads history. 1t

Another Corp.e in Myers Grave.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 2l-There was no
fake about the corpse that was placed in
the grave of Thomas Myers. at Liberty
Cemetery, near CLIFFORD, this morning
Thomas Hamblen, former resident of
Clifford died at Attica, Ind. Thursday, of
typhoid fever. His remains were brought
to Clifford and buried in the grave that
was made for Thomas Myers, whose mys-
terious death at Gem. Ind, and fake
burial by DR.. Cox, at Clifford, caused a
sensation a few months ago. The family
lot of the Hamblens was full and the rela-
tives were compelled to take the Myers
grave, which adjoined theirs. The Myers
case is still a deep mystery. Or. Cox. who
wrote from his place of hiding that he
would appear before the grand jury and
clear it up. has failed thus far TO keep his
word.
