POOR FOOD FOR BEARS"
A NEWSPAPER ATTACK ON THE BIG
FOUR FINDS FEW SUPPORTERS.
Financial Paper Comments Favor
ceIlaneOus Railway News.

While railroad officials and business men
are not inclined to believe that there was
anything in the rumored consolidation
scheme of the Big -Four and the Baltimore
& Ohio, the article concerning the rumor,
published yesterday, excited a good deal of
comment. A representative of the Journal
yesterday took some pains 10 ascertain the
ground for such rumor and learned that
negotiations were pending which might re-
suit in the Big Four and the Chesapeake &
Ohio utilizing the Baltimore & Ohio tracks
between Washington and New York in
stead of the Pennsylvania. It is stated that
the Pennsylvania has not been disposed
to treat President Ingalls's lines fairly.
Naturally the business of his lines draws
from the Penns ylvania, the other getting
only the haul on the Western business from
points which are touched by the Pennsylva-
MIA road and up TO which points the Penn
sylvania has excellent service. 1t is evident
that the lengthy article which appeared in
the United States Investor on Saturday was
written by some one who is a bear" on
the Big Four, and not well informed as to
it's real value. Competitors of the Big -Four
admit that its terminal facilities at Indian
apolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kankakee ST.
Louis, Louisville. Terre Haute, Cairo and
of any railroad company in this country on
equal mileage, and there are those who ex-
press the belief that five years from now
the terminal facilities of the Big Four will
be worth sum as large as it's present
funded debt. The Investor endeaVors to
make capital out of the Big Four's floating
debt This has been created by extensive
improvements to roadbed and equipments,
and during the period President ingalls, has
not increased the funded debt 20 the extent
that he might under the Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Chicago & ST. Louis consolidation
agreement, the reason therefor being that
in the last two years the bonds of no rail-
road could be sold to advantage, but the
better times, it is believed will give an OPP
portunity for the Big -Four to sell such
securities and put itself in better financial
condition. The geographical location of the
Big Four lines and the important business
most valuable railroad systems - any part
of the country. 1t is well known = when
any railroads Of the country hav. ''1ness
the Big Four is the first to be be- e@. At
present its roadbed and eoNipris are az
the highest standard and the anis heavy
OUTLAWS which will be required will be in
the purchase of equipment to NOV, he rap
idly increasing business. 1t is evident that
has selected a system of roads which will
not afford much food for the bears.
An attorney who is interested in the
changes which are now occurring in the
railroad world said last evening that it is
natural that the Morgan syndicate should
want the Big Four, the Chesapeake & Ohio
and the Baltimore & Ohio TO work together
as far as practicable, as they are interested,
three roads named, and have no financial
interest in the Pennsylvania lines.

IRVINGTON CEMENT WALKS
The Contract Let for improvements
Last Night.

The Irvington Town Board considered the
question of further improvements at.its reg
ular session last night A diversion was
created by the appearance among the bid
ders of a new contractor. who underbid the
resident contractors and received three con-
tracts from the town. One of the improves
ments ordered was the grading and paving
with cement of the southeast sidewalk of
Grand avenue, from Irvington avenue TO
Beechwood avenue. The contract was let to
G. T. Roberts, of Attica, Ind, at 6S cents
a foot. p c. Jacobs and John Moore, or
Irvington, bidding 70 and 66 cents foot,
respectively. The second improvement or
dered was for a cement walk TO be MADE
on the west side of Maple avenue. from
Washington street to Johnson avenue. Tnls
contract was let to G.. Il. Roberts at 65
cents a foot, Mr.. Jacobs and Mr.. Moore
bidding "a and 661a cents a foot, respectively.
The third Improvement was the building or
a cement walk on the north side of OAK
avenue, from Grand avenue to point $40
feet west of Grand avenue remonstrance
was offered to this Improvement by j. g.
Barnhil who assigned as his reason Tor
necessity and would not be used by any one.
Bids were received for the improvement,
however, and the bids and remonstrance
were referred to the committee on streets,
alleys and contracts.
Ordinances were passed favoring the fot-
lowing Improvements: A cement sidewalk
on the east side of Ritter avenue, from
Washington street to Pennsylvania street;
a cement sidewalk on Washington street,
from Blount avenue to National avenue;
the Improvement of the Maple-avenue road
way, from Washington street to Walnut
avenue; the Improvement Of Walnut avenue,
from Maple avenue to Line street.
The committee of the Town Board which
visited Greencastle to inspect broken stone
and screenings reported that 1t found SUCH
broken stone better and cheaper taan gravel
for street Improvement, and the committee
recommended the use of the same in future

The reports flying about through the pa
pers in the Western League circuit that
Manager Watkins will be in the National
League next season have considerable
foundation. Last season he was offered
the management of two clubs in the big
League, but preferred to remain here
Philadelphia would have been glad TO have
secured his services a year and there IS
no reason 10 believe the officials of that
club would be averse TO having him run
the Phillies next year. Pittsburg is very
anxious TO have Watkins put the Pirates
in the race next season, and rumor has IT
that he viii be in charge of that team ia
1898. When asked about il yesterday the
man who has landed Indianapolis twice in
first place and once in second replied that
it was news TO him. President Colt also
disclaimed any knowledge of the matter
1t is pretty certain that whatever club Sc
cures Mr.. Watkins for a manager will be in
the race from start to finish.

An Ex-saIesman,s Story.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 1S-Joseph Heller,
a commission broker now doing business in
this city, was salesman in the employ of
Adolph Luetgert, in Chicago. previous to
his arrest on the charge of murder. Mr.
Heller said to-day that Luetgert had told
him on the 9Th of last May that he wanted
him to go to Colorado and offer goods to
be delivered in June. Mr. Heller thinks
this was merely a statement to get him out
him: Joe. | nave trouble at ' home s.'i' NV ~
wife has frequently said she would leave
me if ever failed. She has gone, and 1
cont know where. but / suppose she will
come back some day." Mr.. Heller believes
firmly that Luetgert knew the factory was
going to be shut down for several months
before it was, and is positive that goods
were smuggled away from the place.

DEADLY ELECTRIC BOLTS.
Lightning Plays HaN DC with Life and
Property in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 25.-Lightning
played havoc with life and property in
Georgia yesterday. The daughter of the
mayor of Powder Springs. a popular sum-
mer resort in this State, Miss Hattie Scott
was slain by bolt yesterday evening, and
at the same place a powerful threshing
machine was torn to pieces by lightning
its operators dangerously injured, and the
draught oxen killed. AT Carrollten, the
center of the stock-raising industry in the
State, James Downs, jr., and Samuel Con-
ME, both white, were struck and killed by
lightning, the bolt tearing their clothes and
dlscoloring their features. The damage to
property at this place will be heavy. AT
Miner, in the northern portion OF this
State, a bolt struck on Mr.. j. A. Farleys
farm and killed Samuel Lawrence, a col
ored farm hand, badly burned another and
injured Mr.. F'arley's son.
The storm which accompanied the cleo
trical display flooded all the waterways
and the loss of property owing to fires
originating from lightning and resulting
from the hoods will range very high. The
lightning played curious freaks, sometimes
merely touching an old ruin and again de-
stroying some pretentious planters resi-
dence. The damage in the large towns was
cOmparAtiVely light.
