A SLEIGHING CARNIVAL.
Streets Crowded with the
Cutters.

Yesterday was a rare day for sleighing
and the bright wintry afternoon was en-
joyed by nearly everybody who owned a
sleigh could borrow or rent one. North
Delaware street, between st. Clair and New
York streets, seemed to be the favorite
course, although Capitol avenue was
thronged with cutters most of the after
noon.
Many Of the finest outfits of the city
could be seen on either of these thorough
fares. DR.. Short was out with his thorough
bred Billy Briggs and led many swift
race. Bert Adams drew the reins over a
fine bay flyer that left nearly everything in
the rear. Mr.. and Mrs Shower sat behind
swift pair of bays, and DR.. Quincy Van
Hummell occupied a dashing cutter behind
a spanking team of grays. Horace Wood
and Charles Cooper both drove spirited nags
Hundreds of people stood on the sidewalks
and watched the sport
Many ladies clad in attractive winter cos
tune enjoyed the sleigh-rding. The jing-
ling bells. the shouts of the drivers as some

THREE HUNDRED BOYS DINE.
w. III. Messenger Tenders a Dinner to
the Street Urchins.

About three hundred of the street urchins
of the town dined out yesterday. w. III.
Messenger was the host of this distinguished
party and as such he acquitted himself
after the manner of prince in fairy tale.
1t was one of the SWEETEST and most elabor-
ately appointed events of the day and the
good cheer of a true New Years atmos-
phere pervaded the whole affair.
The invitations to the party were sent out
during the week by the blue-coated and
brass-buttoned officers employed by the city.
With such an efficient messenger service
tributed were of a crimson hue and were
honored by tickets. 1t had been Mr.. Mes
senger's express stipulation that only such
boys as had behaved themselves properly
for the past year should be considered, and
the police force took great pride in selecting
only the worthy. Half of the tickets dis
tributed were of a crimson hue and were
rendered to colored urchins, while the rest
of the invitations were colored sea green
and went TO the white youths. Boys over
sixteen years of age Were persona non grata.
1t was O'Clock in the afternoon when
the guests assembled on the plaza of snow
surrounding afr. Messengers store on East
Washington street. They formed in a line
that stretched from Delaware to Pennsyl-
Yania street and then, under the convoy of
sergeant OcnWdD ana three OInceTS Iney
were taken to a cafe on Illinois street,
where having presented their passports
at the door. they entered into the joy of
the feast. Beside the dining room of the
cafe another room was brought into use and
all the available space was taken up with
long tables which fairly groaned under the
weight of turkeys. mince pie and oranges.
The profuson may be partially appreciated
when il is stated that there was a third of
a ton of turkey, several cases of oranges,
forty leaves of bread and seventy-five mince
pies.
The dinner was wholly lacking in formal
ity, and there was. nothing TO subdue the
spirits of those present. The noise was
about as great as that heard on stock ex-
change, but, on the whole. the boys con-
Quoted themselves very creditably. 1t was
noticed at one time that the oranges had

that any one having two oranges
would be required to give up
both, the fruit reappeared on the
table with as much celebrity as marked its

Grand Monday night, Jan. 10. at first dwells
ries of the polar sea- and then briefly re-
views some of the trials and the achieve

ton of his subject with the statement that
his polar expedition was undertaken not
merely to reach the exact mathematical
point known as the north pole, but to ex-
plore the polar sea and bring back valuable
scientific data therefrom. He then takes up
the story of the three years voyage of the
Fran in the ice, showing, SUCCESSFULLY,
magnificent series of stereopticon views
from instantaneous photographs taken by
himself, covering the entire trip from
Sweden to within several hundred miles of
the pole, and home again.
Among the most interesting pictures are

P, D. & E. SECOND MORTGAGE.
Trustee Wants Earning of n Section
of Road Applied to 1t.

William A. Heilman of Evansville, yes
terday filed cross complaint in the Federal
Circuit Court in the receivership case Of
the Central Trust Company, of New York,
and H. l.. Morrill, against the Peoria, De-
catur & Evansville Railroad Company. Mr..
Holman is one of the trustees of the sec
ond mortgage gold bonds issued Nov. 1, 1886,
amounting to $2.0SS, 600.
The Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway
Company on Sept. l, 1880, issued $l,470,00
first mortgage bonds to the Central Trust
Company and H. L. Morrill, as trustee. This
mortgage covered the portion Of the road
extending from Nation to Evansville On
Jan. /, 1880, first mortgage amounting TO
81, 2S7,O00 was placed on the portion of the
road running from Pekin to Mattoon, Ill.
The road was thrown into the hands of a
receiver on Jan. 9, 1894, and decree OF
foreclosure was granted March 3, 1897, but
no sale Of the road has yet been made. The
cross bill of Mr. Holman, after stating that
the first mortgage bonds of September, 1880,
cover no part of the road from NATION to
Pekin, sets up the claim that the earnings
of that portion of the road should not be
diverted to the making of improvements on
the Evansville division. and to the payment
OF the first-mortgage bonds of that division:
The bill alleges upon information and belief
that these earnings have been so diverted,
and prayS that the amount so diverted be
made q lien in favor of the second-mortgage
bondhOlderS prior to the lien of the first
mortgage holders. The bill asks for an ac-
counting between the trustees under the
two mortgages, and that the income and
profits diverted to the benefit of the first
mortgage holders on the Evansville division
be made preferential claim in favor of the
second-mortgage holders, subject only TO
the first-mortgage bonds on the Peoria di-
vision. The bill also asks that the pro-
ceedS of the sale of the road under the mort
gage of 1880 shall first be applied to the
payment of the amount diverted, and that
the entire surplus be devoted to the pay
ment of the econd-mortgage bondholders
If the amount realized is not sufficient the
court is asked to require the road to make
good the deficiency.
