SUNDAY FOOTBALL.
A Game at West Indianap polls Yester-
dny=Rig Fire ut

The West Indianapolis football team
played it's first game yesterday afternoon
with the Dean Brothers eleven and de-
feated it by a score of 8 to O.. The game
took place on the grounds at the corner of
River avenue and White river, and about
800 spectators witnessed the h-otly-contested
game. Both clubs played hard, but the
West Indianapolis men proved the stronger
and the more fleet of foot and made their
points ON two touch-downs. The crowd of
onlookers was very enthusiastic, and the
suburbs police tried in vain to keep them
off the gridiron. The West indianapolis
team will play the Boosters on the same
grounds next Sunday.
The three-story brick building owned by
the Masonic Lodge in Bridgeport was en-
tirely destroyed by fire, which started
about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was
the largest building in the town and the
citizens were proud of it, and during the
pole raising at that place Saturday it was
profusely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. The lower floor was used for a store
room, being occupied by David Mills, deal
or in general merchandise; the second floor
for lodge purposes, and the third for a
town hail. The building cost $4,000 and was
insured for 1850. Mr.. Mills carried 81, 500
insurance ON his stock of goods. The
former building owned by the Masonic
lodge was also destroyed by fire. The
cause of the fire is unknown.

A NEW CHURCH GROWTH.
Rev. III. V. Hunter Draws Big Crowds
to Seventh Presbyterian.

The Seventh Presbyterian Church seems
to have entered upon a new era of pros
per1ty with the return of Rev. r. v. Hun
ter to its pulpit. Since he left to accept a
call to Terre Haute, two OF three years
ago, the church dwindled almost constant
~, until nearly two hundred members of
the congregation ceased attending. About
a month ago. shortly after the close of the
Winona Assembly. DIR. Hunter agreed to
fill the pulpit temporarily, and was finally
prevailed upon to accept a call to remain
permanently. Since then a surprising in
crease of interest has been shown, and
about one hundred of the members have
come back. A member of the session said
last night that the church is out of debt.
and enough pledges have been made to
guarantee the financial prosperity of the
church, Notwithstanding the hard times. 1t
is the intention to have a paid choir-a
new feature. Yesterday was DR.. Hunters
first day as permanent pastor, and the at
tendance proved a gratifying surprise to
every one who has an interest IN the
church. AT the services. morning and
evening, the church was filed, and it was
necessary to use the Sunday-schoo1 class
rooms to accommodate the congregation.
The attendance at the Sunday school in
the afternoon numbered 81, the largest it
has been for a long time. Many persons
who were members of the Seventh Presby-
terrain Church during DR.. Hunters former
pastorate, but who have moved away from
the South Side and are now identified with
other churches, were present yesterday to
aid in welcoming him back.
eff one may use secular language in
speaking of churches said one man in
the congregation last night, Il may be JUS
tilted in saying that the Seventh Presby-
terrain is experiencing a boom 1t looks
like the church VIII again become one of
the strongest on the South Side.
r.. V. Hunter. after filling the pulpit Of
the Seventh Presbyterian Church eight
years, accepted 4 call to Terre Haute.
Last spring he resigned his charge there
to devote his entire time to the winona

A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT
LOCAL LINES SHOW INCREASE IN
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT.
A Fast Run on the j., NJ. 81 I.-POints
from the Annual Reports of the f.
a. Il. ii. and New York Central.

The train records show that in the week
ending Oct. 3 there were received and for
warded at Indianapolis 21,567 cars, $500 be-
ing loaded, an increase over the week end
ing Sept. 26 of eighty-fve loaded cars, but
going back to corresponding weeks of the
years 1895 and 1894 the exhibit is not as
satisfactory; still, the business is carried
at better rates so far as through traffic is
concerned. East-bound the shipments of
grain and flour were not as heavy last week
as in the preceding week. The heavy
rains of the early part of the week doubt
less cut off shipments. The shipments of
provisions, hides and hardwood lumber
East have of late increased, and in the
produce line the movement is good for this
season of the year. West bound last week
there was a perceptible increase in ton
age, but still it is 20 to 80 per cent. lighter
than at the corresponding period last year.
The east-bound business is considerably in
excess of west bound. While in the higher
class freights a decreased business is no.
ticeable, in the lower class ~freights, es-
pecially coal and coke, the falling off in
tonnage is the most striking, and no inn
provement is looked for until the manu-
featuring interests are better employed, es-
pecially the iron industries. Usually in Oc-
tober the east and west-bound through
business is well equalized, but such has
not been the case this fall ,n6hn this con-
nection it should be said NAt never before
were the shipments of dressed meats and
live stock as heavy in the early fall as
has been the case this year, indianapolis
lines seemingly having secured more than
their usual share of this business. North
and-south roads are handling a good deal
OF produce, and the lumber shipments from
the lakes southwark are fully as heavy as
at the corresponding period last year. The
fight the Ohio roads and coal operators are
making against Indiana coal is cutting
down shipments to Michigan points con-
siderably. Then the unsettled condition be-
tween the miners of Indiana and the opera
tors more or less affects the coal traffic
locally. The active local demand for corn,
the excellent business the stock yards and
packing houses are doing and the activity
of the firms which manufacture corn into
cereai1ne products makes local business
quite satisfactory and in some measure
overcomes the lighter business done over
the platforms at the city freight depots.
The rain of last week cut into local bust
ness somewhat. but, large quantities of
produce are now being handled daily, and
conditions have improved the last few days.
Below is given the car movement for the
week ending Oct. 8 and for the CORE
spending weeks of 1888 and 1894:
