THE DE RUITERs, AFFAIRS.
The Wife Makes Further Charge
Against the Husband.


In the suit of Laura e. De Ruiter against
Derk De Ruiter proceedings looking to q
legal separation of the couple, an amended
complaint was filed yesterday in Room Q
Superior Court. Derk De Ruiter, Eva G.
Vanderwerf and Cornelius Vanderwerf
husband of the latter, are made defend
ants to the suit The original suit for d.
vorce was brought by Mrs De Ruiter in
Room l, last winter. 1t was met by cross
complaint on the part of the defendant, and
both We're refused the decree of divorce
The divorce was refused in January last
The plaintiff now claims Mr.. De Ruiter
came to her with a neighbor in the follow
ing February, and tried to bring about a
reconciliation. He visited her a number of
times, she says, and during the month of
February induced her to transfer her inter-
est in piece of property, promising to i'm
mediately deed the same back to her. She
ayers that the property was afterwards
transferred to Eva Vanderwerf, the de-
PENDANTS daughter by a former marriage.
1t is claimed the execution of the deed
which she was to have was delayed until
March 9, last. She became so anxious about
the matter, that it brought on nervous
prostration. The plaintiff AYERS that in
February last Mr.. De Ruiter took her pass
book and 800 which she desired to deposit
on some stock she held in the Hoosier Saw
ings and Loan Association of Indianapolis
promising to attend to the matter himself
He retained the pass book, she AYERS, and
aside from his own word, the plaintiff has
no knowledge that he deposited the money.
The charge is further made that Mr.. De
Ruiter induced the building association to
transfer his wifes stock to himself with
out her knowledge.
The plaintiff makes the charge that her
husband accused her of having been guilty
Of improper conduct in the fall of 1896. She
also says that De Ruiter entered into a con-
spiracy with the defendant. Eva Wander
vert, by which real estate belonging to the
De Ruiters was transferred to her in con-
sideration of the sum of 81, when, as a mat
ter of fact, the property was worth $34 600
Mrs. De Ruiter asks that the transfer be
declared void, and that she be given a di-
Yorce and alimony in the sum Of $4,000.

days in Cincinnati III going over the motor
car which his company recently built for
the G., II. & ID. Traction Company. On the

There is considerable friction between the
Baltimore d Ohio and the Chesapeake &
ONO passenger departments The Baltimore
q Ohio claims the right to accept for pas
sage to New York on the Royal Blue line
the INTERCHANGEABLE mileage tickets recent
ly adopted for general use by lines in the
Central Traffic Association territory. Now
the chesapeake & Ohio wants the same
privilege for its New York trains which
run between Cleveland and New York over
the chesapeake q Ohio and from Washing
ton over the pennsylvania. The trouble over
the matter is increasing and it is an ugly
problem to solve, as were these two lines
allowed TO use this mileage other lines will

So apt is the travelling public to speak de-
risiyely OF the sleeping and parlor car COM
panles and their accommodations that the
following COMMUNICATION for this branch of
the railroad service from a Buffalo paper
VIII be appreciated by those who enjoy the
comforts that are afforded by this branch
Of the service. THE Pullman parlor and
sleeping car service has been called a
leech that drains the Hfe-blood of the
railway companies it fastens upon This
loose talk has no justification In fact The
sleeping car service in this country, which
is either Pullman or Wagner, substantially.
is not only by far the best in the world, bug
also decidedly the cheapest. In other coun-
tries the railroad companies use their own
cars, but the service is exorbtantly expen-
siVe and exasperatingly unsatisfactory to
the tieeced traveller. Many companies in
the United States have tried building and
managing their own ''sleepers'' and have
gone back TO the Pulmans or Wagners be-
cause it was more economical to hire the
cars as they wanted them than to keep
on hand a stock big enough for all emer-
gencies."

n,.nute 70 Re Arbitrated.

The Western roads and the Southern Pa
cfic have finally decided to submit their
differences regarding immigrant business
to arbitration. The matter has been hang
ing fire for three years and has been the
source for nearly all of the decentralization
that has existed in immigrant rates. A
meeting was held two years since between
the Southern Pacific and the roads which
were members of the emigrant clearing
house i'm New York over the percentage of
California business that should be allowed
to the Southern Pacific. 1t demanded 90
per cent of all the business and the other
roads would not allow 1t over 80 per cent.
Arbitration was proposed, but the South
ern Pacific could not see its way clear to
the settlement of the difficulty IN this man
ner. and the old trouble went on Now 1t
has been arranged that the matter shall be
settled by arbitration, and ii is understood
that in the arbitration the Southern Pacific
is to receive not less than % Per cent. nor
more than 80 per cent The board of arbi-
traitors will be composed of one member
selected by each party to the arbitration,
and the third to be selected by the first
two.

take the place of Daniel Lannis on the
janitors force at the Federal building. Civ
il-service rules do not govern this position
Some question has been raised as to the
right of the marshal's appointment of John
Hummeiheyer to the position OF engineer
at the Federal building. This position is
under civtl-service rules. The marshal had
filed charges aginst Fred r, Frink, the
former engineer and Frink resigned. Mr..
Kercheval said that he had authority to
make the appointment under the circum-
stances and It appears, by its approval at
Washington, that ne was right.

THE PASSENGER SERVICE
ALL LINES SHOW INCREASED EARN
INGs FROM THIS SOURCE.
The Crusade Against ScaIpers-NOrth-
and-SOuth Lines to Increase the
Speed of Passenger Trains.

It is gratifying to the passenger officials
to note that on all the important lines the
revenue from their business is increasing
with each month and that the remark will
apply to local as well as through business.
During the summer months through travel
was very satisfactory, while local business
was disappointing, but in the last sixty
days local business has shown decided
improvement. The low-rate excur5ions are
better patronized than was ever before
known, say observing passenger men. J. @.
Van Wrinkle, general superintendent of the
Big Four lines, states that in the last sixty
days the passenger earnings have been
ranging from to 8 per cent in excess of
those of September and October last year.
p. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines, reports a handsome in
crease in passenger earnings. 0. p. Nc
Carly, general passenger agent of the Bal
timore & Ohio Southwestern, is much elated
over the handsome business that line is
now doing. c. G. Waldo general manager
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton,
states that their passenger business was
never more satisfactory, and the increase
in revenue from that source is proportion
ately as great as from the freight service.
General Passenger Agent DAILY, of the Lake
Erie & Western, says the travel over their
lines is again at its normal volume, espe-
cially in local travel which is the Lake
Erie & Westerns best revenue Garner, is
tbs improvement highly satisfactory In
speaking of the Improvement passenger
official said yesterday that no point had
shown a handsomer increase in passenger
business than had Indianapolis in the last
few months. and Daniel Donough, general
ticket agent at the Union Station, confirms
the statement. Since the year 1893, the year
of the worlds fair at Chicago, passenger
business has been tight, until July or this
year, since which time there has been
steady Improvement until eight out OF ten
of the roads are receiving as much reVe-
nue. from the passenger service as at any
period in their history. There is one ques-
ton yet unsettled" said passenger OH
cial, and that is whether the running of
so many cheap excursions has been OF the
best advantage to the roads, especially IN
the case between indianapolis and Cincin-
natl Every Sunday one of the lines has
run an excursion alternately between the
two cities, until people have come TO take
advantage of ii to go down on Sunday, sell
the return part of the ticket and come back
the next Sunday on another ticket at the
cheap rate" He said that possibly the ex-
tent to which this practice had been car
ried was overestimated, but he thought
were there less regularity in running these
cheap excursions between cities this obJec-
ton would be largely overcome, as people
could not then plan TO make long visits and
still have the benefit of the low rate.

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the
Evansville & Terre Haute have, during the
past summer, expended a good deal of
money on their tracks, preparatory to do
ing some fast running to accommodate the
winter resort travel to Southern points.
The passenger officials of these lines claim
to have the short route, and the officials
of the E. & T. II. have decided the service
can yet be made better and to that end
have entered upon the task of arranging
for faster time between Chicago and Evans
vile. The schedule of the fast trains has
been ordinarily fast, but since the Nash
vile exposition has been on the road has
felt the necessity for more speed. The road
has some of the best engines in the rail-
road service, but to get more speed out of
them for hauling the heavy through trains
three of them have been sent to the shops
to have new drivers put on. No 50, one of
the big Baldwins. has already been
equipped with larger wheels. When she
came in yesterday with the Nashville train
she was running on drivers six feet two
inches in height. The other three engines in
the shops will be fitted out in like manner
and placed in service.

The annual meeting OF the executive Of
ficers of the Western and Southwestern
lines, parties to the pass agreement, was
held in st. Louis yesterday. The agree
ment of Nov. 10. 1896. was reaff1rmed for
the coming year. At the last annual meet
ing proposition was made to assess pen
alties for the violation of the agreement,
but action was deferred at that meeting
on it. The managers took the ground that
the pass agreement was founded upon good
faith, and the penalty clause under the
strength. 1t was agreed that full mileage
and not half the regular fare should be al
lowed for he regular use of cars by the
car ferry lines on and after Jan. L 1893.

Damage Case Quickly Settled.

In a damage suit tried in the Superior
Court yesterday a settlement was reached In
remarkably quick time. The suit was
brought in Room 3. against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. Attorney A
J. Beveridge brought the suit for the par
ents of Carl Willets. aged eleven years. The
boy. with his mother. was en- route from
California during the Christian Endeavor
convention last summer, when a slight ac-
cident TO their train at Burlington threw the
boy violently against car seat. Internal
hemorrhages resulted. But two witnesses
were examined-the mother and stepfather
of the boy. Attorney +. A. Woods, who
represented the railroad company, agreed to
settlement, and the parents of the boy
were paid $500. The company settles the
expense of the trial.
