RAPHAEL VAN WE FINED.
Court Imposed No Imprisonment Oh
the POstOffice Clerk.

Raphael Van VIE one of the postoffice
clerks was fined $500 in the Federal Court
yesterday and given ninety days in which to
pay it, Van Vie is handsome fellow of
twenty-eight, with a full dark beard and
black locks. He had been in the employ of
the postoffice eight years, most of the time
as a case clerk. Some weeks ago he was
suspended and later indicted by the grand
jury, charged with purloining small arti-
Giles from the mail. Yesterday he pleaded
guilty to the charge, and number of wit
nesses swore to his previous good character.
The postmaster declared that investigation
resulting in Van Wie's suspension had beer
caused by complaints that have been COM
ing in for over a year OF missing articles of
small value
In the afternoon Van VIE was brought
before the court to receive sentence. He OK
planned that he had found stick pin val
ued at so cents, in the bottom of a mail
sack, with no address, and had worn it in
stead of sending it to the dump drawer, but
all his fellow-workers about the Office knew
it. He had also carried off a knife that had
lain in the Office several weeks without a
claimant. He had one evening carried lone
a razor that was without address, and lad
brought it back the next morning, return
ing II TO the dump drawer he also eA-
planned that one night he had gone to a re-
volvng case and had opened Il fourth
class package to see if there was any first
class matter in it. The night superintendent
came in just then and he threw the package
into a waste basket in some confusion, be-
cause it occurred to him that his situation
was suspicious. The district attorney ex-
planned to the court that they had scarcely
any evidence outside of Van W1es own
admissions and recommended that simply
fine be imposed. The court imposed a fine
of $500 with no Jail sentence.
While Van Vie was making his statement
there sat in the courtroom man who
would have liked very much to testify in
the case This was ex-Carrier Hamlin, who
has just finished serving sentence of enc
year for robbng the mails. He was con-
Yicted upon Van Wie's testimony.

Through Rates to BE Restored.


The Western lines met again in Chicago
yesterday for the purpose of considering
the passenger Situation on through rates
to the Pacific coast. 1t was decided that
all lines should return at once to the old
schedule of commissions, and that all rates
in all parts of the territory of the through
lines should be restored early prac-
ticable, and that they shall be maintained
strictly hereafter. 1t is proposed by some
of the lines to recognize the Transconti-
mental Passenger Association. and a call
for a meeting to be held with that object
was issued, signed by the Atchison, the
Burlington and the Rock Island roads. The
meeting is to be held Dec IA in st. Louis.
Some of the roads are of the opinion that
any effort to recognize the association is
premature just at this time, when it will
be impossible for the Union Pacific to en-
ter into any agreement. On the other hand
it is contended that the other lines can go
ahead with the reorganization and by the
time the agreement is finished the Union
Pacific will be able to become a member.

ARE PAYING AS THEY GO
WHY NET EARNINGS ARE LESS FA-
VORABLE THAN GROSS EXHIBITS.
T-anscOntinental Line Rate War in
Prospect miscellaneous and
Personal Railway News.

A general superintendent of one of the
Indianapolis roads has been somewhat dis
turbed because he could not cut down oper-
ating expenses to the old-time figures and
worrying because the net earnings were not
more favorable. He spoke of his disap-
polntment in the matters alluded to while
In company with a superior officer, who
after hearing him through, remarked: eve
are now paying as we go. We used TO
operate this road on GO to 62 per cent of the
gross earnings; all Improvements to road
beds and increase in equipment was paid
Tor out of money borrowed for such pur-
poses on bonds, but now a time has been
reached when the stockholders object to in
creasing the bonded debt of their respective
lines, and this necessitates the paying for
equipment or any extraordinary repairs out
OF gross earnings. This, in turn cuts down
the amount of net earnings, but in the end
1t will be advantageous. Nine of ten roads
snow handsome Increases in gross earnings
for October, yet so great has been the in
crease IN operating expenses, owing to
charging the cost of new equipment ETC.
TO operating expenses, that it has absorbed
large portion of the increase in gross earn
ings. Deduct the money paid out in the
manner above spoken of and you will find
that not only our lines, but those of most
OF the roads in the country are now oper-
ated on the smallest per cent. of gross earn
ings in their history. Much of this reduc-
ton in operating expenses is the result of
using heavier locomotives and cars of sixty
thousand instead of thirty thousand pounds
capacity. There has been a great reform in
the handling of cars to advantage, the eff
tort of all roads being to cut down the
empty-car movement and load cars in both
directions as far as possible. There is no
cause for anxiety that because our net
earnings do not keep pace with the increase
in gross earnings. We have no money
raised on bonds now to pay for betterment;
1t must come out of the gross earnings, and
this is where the roads in the hands of
receivers have the better of us. If they
want money to cut down grades straighten
curves, build bridges and buy cars and To-
comotiveS they ask the court for authority
to sell receivers certificates to make such
improvements, and are seldom refused
