BIG OCTOBER PAY ROLLS
PAYMAsTERS DIsBURsING LARGE
SUMS OF MONEY THIS MONTH.
The Big Four Introducing a New De-
creasing Its Train Service.

1t is said that the pay cars of the rail-
ways will this month distribute more
money among employees than in any one
month in the history of railroad operations
in the country. so general has been the i'm
provement in business. On many roads
train crews will draw pay for from forty
to forty-seven days for October. On the
Panhandle, the Big Four. the Vandalia and
roads Of like prominence the train crews
will draw the largest sums in their railroad
career for last months service. The train
crews on the coal roads of Ohio have the
last thirty days been making much over
time so pressed with business were the
roads. Pay cars do not, on starting from
Pittsburg or Cincinantf carry all the money
which will be required in their rounds over
the respective systems which usually cover
ten days, but at the more prominent points
sums OF money are placed in banks to be
taken out when the paymaster reaches such
points. An experienced paymaster knows
just what kind of money he needs, In what
denominations, and how much will be re-
CURED, and he always carries plenty Of
change, so that there need be no delay. The
pay cars are so arranged that the employe
comes in at one door, steps up to the desk
receives his money in an envelope, signs
mis- name and passes out. On some roads
checks are made out and considerable delay
is avoided, as the check answers for re-
ceipt as well as paying the employe, and
will be honored at most stores and at any
bank where checks of roads have the repu-
tation of being good. Many of the mer-
chants will accept them TO pay their bill
and give the emp.oye the balance IN cash.
Employees seem TO prefer the pay car TO
having checks sent to a local agent to be
distributed, and in the last year number
Of big roads which had abolished the pay
car and commenced paying by check have
restored the pay car, so much more SauS-
factory are the results.

An Old Rumor Revived.

The report is again current in railway
circles that deal is on hand that will be
Of vital interest to all the roads in the
Joint Traffic Association. The deal is no
less than the acquisition of the Toledo
Kansas City & ST. Louis by the Vanderbilt
people. The deal is being manipulated it
is said, by ]. Pierpont Morgan, and the
Glover Leaf is to be made division of the
Michigan Central. The scheme is of great
interest to the railroads of the West, not
only because it will give the Vanderbilts
another line into St. Louis, but because
it will in all probability end great deal
of the rate trouble which has bothered the
lines of the Joint Traffic Association for a
long time The Clover Leaf has long been
q disturbing element and has given the
Joint Traffic Association more trouble than
any other road within it's territory.

New Thing I'm Tickets.

The Big -Four is introducing on the Mich
igan division new form Of ticket. The
Wabash Plain Dealer says Of it: ut is
quite puzzle, and between 1t and the new
mileage book the ticket clerk must be very
steady if he can keep cobwebs out of his
head. The new ticket is about three inches
wide and q half-foot long, and printed on
thin yellow paper. 1t appears to be a
duplicate form ticket. On this slip of paper
is printed the names of all stations, the
months and dates and conditions of the
purchase. The ticket will be placed in q
machine which will be adjusted each morn
ing. You will call for ticket to any sta
ton, the clerk will slip the sheet vi paper
into the machine. Two punches will denote
the date Of Sale and then a knife will di-
vide the ticket between the purchaser and
seller and at the same time will cut into
the ticket at the printed name Of the sta
ton. The clerk will not do any marking
or dating for the ticket. The machine will
do all of this, and it will be impossible to
manipulate or change the ticket in any
manner and hold it good. The ticket thus
patented and the machine also invented and
patented by the chief clerk of the Big Four
system, but the ticket has not been put in
use as yet The Michigan division having
many important stations, ii was decided to
make test on this division as to the prac-
ticabihty of the new form. If 1t works
satisfactorily the day of the little PASTE
board ticket will soon be over on all the
Big -Four system.

MRS. COLLINS'S GRIEF.
The Fear of Losing Her Children
Through the Divorce Court.

Through the Divorce Court.
The divorce suit Of John and Emma Col
Inns, which has been on trial in the Su-
perior Court for nearly a week. came to
close yesterday evening. The Collins fam
lily is one of the est-known and highly con-
nected families in Franklin township, and
the evidence has attracted a great deal of
attention. AT the close of the case yester-
day evening Mrs. Collins gave v0y to tears
and had to be led from the courtroom. She
is rather good-looking woman of about
thirty-fve All through the case her two
children, boys of tender age, have divided
the time during the long hours of court be-
tween both parents. But yesterday evening
while the argument was going on they re-
manned at their mothers side. Attorney
Baker. representing Collins. the husband
in his argument spoke of separating the
children and asked the court to award the
custody of the boys to the father At the
mention of her children Mrs. Collins broke
into violent weepings. and the two little
boys, moved by their mothers grief, began
to cry loudly. Mrs. Collins's father and one
comfort her and led her into the COURT
private chamber The children chung to the
mothers skirts and cried pteously as she
passed out. The unhappy woman flung her
self upon couch and lay there sobbing for
some time. The children were too young
to understand the nature of their mothers
grief, but they knew she was in deep trou-
BILE and they remained with her, mingling
their tears with her own. Collins and his
wife are both trying to secure the divorce.
Collins accused his wife of indScreet con-
duct, which she denied and fled counter
charges. accusing him of cruel treatment
and unfaithfulness. The court has taken
the case under advisement.
