Western Passenger Affairs.

! A call has been issued for special meet
ing of the Western Passenger Association,
to be held in Chicago next Thursday. A
number of important matters will come
before the meeting for consideration. Prom
inent among them will be the new clergy
agreement for 1897, means to prevent the
misuse of exchange orders, and excess bag
gage rates and storage rates will also be
considered. The question of divisions and
of commission payments viii also be taken
up, and large number of routine matters
will be disposed of. There is no doubt that
the roads will leave the issuing of the
clergy permits with the association as has
been this year. 1t has saved them much
time and annoyance and considerable
money as well.
A proposition has been submitted to the
Western roads which will have the effect
of curtailing the privileges of indirect
routes. 1t is proposed that when special
round-trip tickets at reduced rates are au-
thorized for any meeting the authority to
use rates shall apply only to lines by which
single-trip tickets are sold regularly at
short-line rates unless it is especially pro-
vided otherwise.

POpulists File Their Ticket.

The Populists filed their combination cleo
toral ticket with the Board of Election
Commissioners yesterday. It contained five
straight Populist electors and ten silver
Democrats In order to be right sure as
to which was the proper method, two cer-
tificates were filed, one by the chairman
and secretary of the committee of
thirteen and another by the chairman and
secretary of the State convention. No
effort was made to have the straight Pop
tee of thirteen certified to the board. The
certification was bit irregular in that the
signatures were signed here, while the
attached acknowledg ment is by Arnold j.
Padgett, of Daviess county and bears date
as of Daviess county. Inasmuch as the sig

FIGHT STILL CONTINUES
LITTLE PROSPECT FOR REoRGANI-
ZATION OF THE IT,, ST. l.. g. X. G.
Southern Progress Demonstrated in
Railway vement-Reorgan-
fzation of the Ii. & o. Predicted.

From what can be learned, the prospects
of a reorganization of the Toledo, ST. Louis
& Kansas City are not encouraging. The
fight is being made by the preferred stock
holders, who desire to come into reorgani-
cation separate from the common stock
holders. They claim that the interests of
the common and preferred stock are di-
verse. G. p. Huntington controls the conn
mon stock, it having been hypothetical
with him by President Kneeland. Between
s1,500000 and 100000 preferred stock out
of $5,So5,o00 outstanding is held in Boston.
1t will be remembered that Judge Kicks
some time ago decided that the preferred
stock of this road did not constitute a lien
on the property. This stock was issued to
take the bonds of the roads which went to
make up the Toledo, st. Louis & Kansas
City road at the time of its organization
in 1886. An appeal has been taken from
this decision, and the preferred stockhold-
ers have as counsel Hon. Benjamin Har-
rison and Judge Doyle, of Ohio. Hearing
was to have been held in Ohio to-day, but
it will be postponed. Until this case is out
of the way NO organization can be effected
although the first mortgage bondholders
will attempt to secure a decree of fore
closure of the road this month. They made
application last May, but were unsuccess-
fuI, and the matter went over to the
October court.

Signs of Southern Prosperity.


Nothing can more amply demonstrate
the progress of the South in solid fashion
than the decided Improvement of old rail-
ways, both in roadbed and equipment. In
speaking of the improvements made by
the Southern and other railroads since COM
ing under the management of practical
financiers and railroadmen an Eastern
financial paper says: Where one used to
see waste, slovenliness and responsibility,
one sees now, care, order and the utmost
obedience to proper rules. 1t is plain that
all subordinates understand that they are
parts of a. great machine, and know that
If they don't fit into their places and do
their part of the work right, they will be
replaced by better men. Discipline is APP
parent on every hand Rolling stock bears
evidence of care that gives it strength and
solidity. Cars are clean, kept painted and
in good repair. Coaches are palaces COM

when they rattle Off at the rate of fifty or
sixty miles hour to make up lost time,
one isn't alarmed for the road is smooth
and solid and the passenger feels, instinc-
lively, that he is in safe hands. Accidents
are of a very rare occurrence, whereas they
were, and not very long ago either the daily
rule. The fact that men noted for fore
sight and as having lots of money have
put their capital and their talents into
these Southern lines is an omen of great
future growth in this quarter. They know

How Fast the Earth Moves.

Everybody knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution on its axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea of the high rate of speed
at which such an immense ball must
turn in order to accomplish the feat of
making one revolution in day and q
night. A graphic idea of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that of cannon ball fred from
a modern high pressure gun. The high
est velocity ever attained by such a mis-
sile has been estimated at /, 626 feet per
second, which is equal to mile in
3 2-1O seconds. The earth, in making
one complete revolution in the short
space of "a hours, must turn with a
velocity almost exactly equal to that Of
the cannon ball In short, its rate of
speed at the equator is exactly 1907
feet per second. This is equal to mile
every 6-10 seconds, II miles a min

Why Everybody Smiled.

An amusing scene was witnessed by
many pedestrians one day at the corner
of Thirty seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet high, covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses a
lot ON that corner, where the founda-
tions of new building are being laid.
1t was the noon hour, and six brawny
sons of Erin were seated on slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped to
look at the group could not withhold a
smile, for directly above this jolly group
of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,
were the words "The Gay Parisians "
Here indeed was a pleasant satire, the
result of accident. No wonder the work
ingmen wondered why people smiled at
them so much. New York Herald.

THE MlNUET DANCER.

30, my enchantress in the Powered brocade
You call an elder fashion to your aid,
Step forth from Gainsborough's canvas and
advance,
A powdered Galatea, to the dance.
About you clings faded, old world air,
AS though the link boys crowded round your
chair,
AS though the Macaronis throngcd the Mall,
And the French horns were sounding at Vaux-
hall.
They tread the stately measure to its close,
The silver buckles and the silken hose,
Ladies' and exquisites, that bend and sway,
Brilliant as poppies on an August day.
You dance the minuet, and we admire,
We billiards in our black and white attire,
Whose russell idyl seems mere burlesque,
Set in O frame so far less picturesque.
Yet / take heart; for Love, the coatless rogue,
Tan scarcely heed what raiment be in vogue,
Since in good sooth his negligence is known
AS something scandalous anent his own
And SO he whispers, Eyes were bright and
brown
Long ere the powder tax dsmaycd the town,
And faithful shepherds still shall babble on,
Although the rapicrs and the frills be gone
