MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
Prof. Moran, of Purdue, Before the
Local Council of Women

The Local Council of Women held meet
ing at the Propylaeum yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Flora Wulschner opened the
meeting with a prayer, and Miss Adelaide
Carman read the report of the last meet
ing. A paper on the Society of Hygiene
was read by Miss Hester McClung. Mrs.
Laura L. Elder explained the object of the
indianapolis Flower Mission and reported
the society in flourishing condition and
ready to care for any sick poor children
brought to it's notice. The paper on the
Indianapolis Center for the Extension of
University Teaching" was read by Mrs.
Sewall, owing to the absence of Rev. Fred
eric Z. Dewhurst Mrs. Harriet Lodge
gave practical talk on the Ladies For
eign Missionary Society. The following is
an extract from the paper on Compare
tive Systems of Municipal Government" by
Prof. T. f. Moran, of Purdue University:
1T is evident, even to casual observer,
that there is now prevalent a widespread
interest In all subjects in any way related
to municipal government. This civic re-
Nuisance as it has been called, has re-
suited In discussions, more or less COM

Lottery Cases Hanging Fire.

Attorney Cropsey appeared in the Grim
inal Court yesterday and asked that the
cases against a number of persons charged
with selling lottery tickets be dismissed
under the statute requiring a prosecution
of appeal cases before three succeeding
terms of court have passed. These cases
have been pending since 1896 They are
against Charles jackson, Joseph Ware. J.
w. White, Charles Hubbard, Timothy But
Ter, Richard Holland, James Ross William
Evans, William Bass, Joseph Ware, Grant
Walden and Reuben. Anderson. Judge Nc
Cray will not pass on the motion to dis
miss until the states attorneys have been
heard. 1t is doubtful if the cases will be
dismissed, as it is claimed the state has
made all reasonable effort to prosecute
them, and they have not been reached be-
cause of other work requiring the attention
OF the attorneys and the court.

Homeseekers, Excursions.

The Western roads met in Chicago yester-
day for the purpose of considering the ques-
ton of homeseekers' excursions, and they
reached an agreement which even its
friends admit will not last for any length of
time. In fact, two of the roads present at
the meeting announced after its close that
they would take individual action at any
time that they see fit to protect their own
interests The meeting decided that they
would meet all the homeSeekers rates made
to points in the South, but that none of
these rates will be made from Chicago. The
bulk of this excursion business is being car
ried by the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas and
the PittSburg. Denver e Gulf and other
roads running in that direction. The roads
have decided that they will meet the rates
of these lines, but will keep the excursion
rates out of Chicago long possible.
1t is generally admitted, however, that 1t
will be impossible to keep the rates out of
the Chicago market, and it is thought that
the new agreement will last only a short
time. The Great Northern and the North
ern Pacific yesterday notified Chairman
Caldwell that in their opinion it was not
wise for them to enter at this time OF the
year into any arrangement to run home
seekers excursions into their territory, for
the reason that the excursions will not pay
and the roads will be disorganizing rates to
no purpose

with Judge McMaster about the case. He
says 1T will be impossible for him to go into

WISCONSIN Central reorganization.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Jan. THAT the
properties of the Wisconsin Central Com
pany ana the Wisconsin Central Railway
Company will within a comparatively short
time be entirely reorganized and that they
will pass into other hands than those Of
the men who control the old company seem
almost certain. This belief is fortified by
the formation of the recently org anized Wis

articles of incorporation We're filed at Madi-

of George ID. Vandyke, William d. Van
dyke, w. e. Carter, Thomas p. Carter,

who constitute the board of directors for one
year. The articles also set forth, as the OBJ
jects of the new company, the acquisition
by purchase or lease of the Wisconsin Gen.
tral properties. The capital stock of the
new company is placed at $4,000, which is
merely a nominal sum, and means nothing
in connection with the proposed purchase
and control of the Wisconsin Central proper
ties. This is divided into $50 shares Of the
par value of 800 each, all of which is to be

IT HAS COME TO STAY
THE INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE
STEADILY MAKING FRIENDS.
Mr.. Green viii Not Resign His Posi-
ton on the ID. & O.-General and
Personal Railway News.

Every day" said Mr.. Fl. NJ. Bronson,
assistant general passenger agent of the
Big -Four, makes me more confident that
the interchangeable mileage ticket has
come to stay. 1t is daily increasing in pop
ularity. On Monday the Indianapolis office
sold thirty Of these tickets. and on Tues
day about as many The fact is that the
sale of these books is not confined to the
travelling statesmen. They are good on forty
three roads in this territory, and any man
who travels a good deal can afford to buy
them, as he can go almost anywhere in
Indiana, Ohio or Illinois on these tickets,
and as people begin to find out that any
person can purchase and use them business
men and others who travel a good deal
are purchasing this mileage. Travelling
statesmen are beginning to look at the mat
ter on q more reasonable basis; they see
that 1t is a good protection to the roads
and are finding that its use is not so
troublesome as was represented.

how to proceed in the matter of claims
owned by the American Surety Company,
amounting to $343 800, calls attention to the
fact that the interest has been paid, but
the payment of the principal was stayed un-
til July /, 1894. The company is now pressing
the receiver for its money and threatens,
unless paid to apply to the Circuit Court of
Indiana for authority to retake and resell
the road to satisfy the claims. The receiver
says $40, 434 has been paid and he has 100000
available from the earnings to apply the
claim and wants to know what he shall do
about it.
