CARS LIMIT TRAFFIC
FREIGHT BUSINESS TAXING THE
ROADS TO THEIR FULL CAPACITY.
President Woodford and Others In
spect the L., ID. 81 W.-Earnings of
Indiana Lines Show Increase.

The train records show that in the week
ending Aug. IA a total of 24,911 cars were re-
ceived and forwarded, and that of this
number 9.224 were loaded, which was 461
fewer than were handled at indianapolis in
the week ending Aug. 7. This decrease in
the movement IS wholly due to the ina
bihty Of the roads to secure cars to carry
the freghts offered, several of the roads
not being able to furnish the cars wanted
for either through or local traffic. That
business is at it's maximum for August is
evidenced by the fact that last week 3,116
more loaded cars were handled than in the
corresponding week of 1896, and 800 more
than in 1895, and, going back to 1884 there
were 1911 more loaded cars handled this
year. The shipments of corn and cerealine
products continue heavy and there is an
unusually heavy movement east-bound of
live stock and dressed meats for August.
The shipments Of wheat and oats are not
up to the expectations of the freight men.
Farmers, they say, are evidently holding
their wheat with the expectations of get
ting higher prices.
In west-bound business of all classes
there is a marked increase in tonnage of
late. In addition to heavy shipments of
groceries and dry goods there is q large
tonnage of steel rails, railway supplies and
iron structural material, showing that
there has been general revival of business
with the Eastern iron industries. Orders of
dry goods houses, hat and cap dealers, and
milliners goods, which had been held over
in order that jobbers might better under
stand the business outlook are now being
shipped in immense quantities. Local bust
ness is nearing its good times volume, sew
eral of the roads have increased the num-
Der of their switching engines and crews
and at the city freight depots more men
have been employed, or the old force is
working overtime. The increase in BUSH
ness is of such a general character that it
would be impossible to particulariZe any
branch as showing phenomenal improve
ment. The commission houses, packing
houses, stock yards and the various manu-
factories are all doing well. Only in coal
shipments is there a light business, Some
of the lines, however, are still handling
considerable coal Below is given the car
movement for the week ending Aug. Il,
and for the corresponding periods of 1896

the following dispatch from Hotel Cham
Nathan A. Hitchcock, of st. Louis, has
been offered and has accepted the minister

The appointment of Mr.. Hitchcock Great
ed no surprise here for among Missourians
the selection had been for some time re-

who had been a representative in Congress
when he was sent to the ST Petersburg
post. Mr.. Hitchcock is a warm personal
friend of President Mckinley, and is said
not to have been a candidate. AS a manu-
facturer he is well known in business cir
cles throughout the country. He has had
occasion to come to Washington frequently
in connection with tariff matters. On one
of the earlier of these visits he is said to
have first met Mr.. Mckinley, then a mem
Der of Congress, and the acquaintance then
formed has since developed into the closest

Farmer HibberIy Missing.

CLINTON. Ind, Aug. 14-Frederick IIib-
one Of fbe substaStiaI farmers Of GermI9
lion county, is missing, and there are all
kinds of theories as to his probable fate.
The old man is known to have considerable
money, and his son, who lives at Cayuga,
fears the father has been foully dealt with,
though it is known the robbers, if robbery
has been committed, got money. A
few days ago eX-County Treasurer Fl. o.
Peters paid Mr.. Hibberly a sum of money
and the old man started for his recently
adopted home in Terre Haute. 1t had been
found that the money was deposited in
Terre Haute bank, but further than this
no trace of Mr.. Hibberly has been found.
Officers of both Vigo and Vermillion coun-
ties have been searching for him. If he
has been killed it was by men who knew
he drew the money and supposed he had
it in his possession. Mr.. Hibberly is seven
ty years old and has been having con-
siderable trouble with his former wives.
There are many who believe he has COM
mitted suicide. His son, T.. L. Hibberly,
is prominent attorney of Cayuga, this
county.

1t is stated that a few days will develop
what the Woodford syndicate. which owns
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road
and controls the Indiana Decatur G. West
ern. is to do with the latter property. 1t is
now about thirty days since the litigation
which has been pending several years was
dropped out of the courts and the Woodford
syndicate given clear title to the property
On Saturday night M. d. Woodford, presi-
dent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
lines accompanied by Samuel FELTON,, pres
ident of the Queen & Crescent road went
through from Cincinnati to Decatur Yes
terday morning at a. m. the party, on a
special train, commenced an inspection of
the road, travelling only twenty-five miles
an hour, it is a favorite idea with Presi-
dent Woodford, and Mr.. FELTON, as well, that
going over the road faster than twenty-five
miles an hour will not admit of a careful
inspection of the track. stations, etc. Mr..
FELTON, had not been over the line in some
years, and expressed surprise over the eX-
cellent condition of the track, and was
much pleased with the good prospects for
business this fall This road like the Lake
Shore, is q very level one-probably there is
not 1853 miles of line in this State which has
so light grades and few curves as has the
J., d. & W., consequently the company has
been able to haul its trains with lighter
engines than most roads. This has been in
favor of bringing the line up to a high
standard, and when the ballasting now in
progress is completed there will be no
Smoother and more solid track out of In
dianapolis than that of the Indiana, De-
catur q Western. One of the first things
the Woodford syndicate will do after oper-
ating the road in the interest of the Gin
cinnati Hamilton & Dayton will be to form
closer traffic relations with some of the
Western lines, probably by building an eX-
tension to connect with some of the large
Northwestern systems. President Woodford
was in excellent spirits over the business
the c., H. 81 d. is doing, and over its
future prospects, the only drawback just
now being the coal miners STRIKE.
