THE DEAL NOT CLOSED
NEGOTIATIONS PENDING IN THE WA
BASH BUFFALO CONTRACT.
Local scaIDers Have Three Offices Left
Conditions for TranspOrta-
ton Unusually Favorable.

The Boston Herald says: Frequent refer
ence has been made to the plans of the Wa
bash Railroad in connection with its pro-
posed entrance to Buffalo. These plans are
comprehensive in character and involve
various advantages, but the negotiations
have not been entirely concluded, and 1t is
deemed wiser at the company's Office not to
give details until the contracts have been
executed. The Wabash system as a whole
is doing well. The earnings of the Buffalo
division are kept separately, and show fair
earnings as we'll as advantages for the
other lines. The company has not fully de-
termined in regard to the Montpelier ex-
tension, but rather leans to the idea that
such a line could be built to good advan-
tage. 1t would make a very direct route
and would strengthen the position Of the
company with reference to the claims of
the equipment bondholders in that long
pending suit"
The Herald's statement probably refers
only to the freight service, as the passen-
ger service was commenced some time ago.
but roads which work with the Vanderbilt
lines have objected, it is stated, to the Wa
bash being so much favored as it seems to
be in this case

TOO LIGHT A SENTENCE
FRED MEYER, GIVEN ONE YEAR I'M
PRIsONMENT, TO BE TRIED AGAIN.
A Plea of Guilty First Entered-Jury
Expenses in the Bridge
water Case.

Fred Meyer. who was arrested five months
ago on the charge of stealing perfumery
from the store Of Charles Mayer & Co.,
was arraigned in the Criminal Court yes
terday. With him was James Klinger, who
was charged with receiving the stolen
goods. Meyer was employed in the store
in the capacity Of shipping clerk when the
theft occurred. He asked for a change of
venue from Judge McCray, which was
granted. Attorney W. N. Harding was ap-
pointed to try his case.
Klinger first pleaded guilty and the court
entered fine of 500 against him, with
years imprisonment in the workhouse. Aft
erward, when the judge learned the value
of the stolen goods, he declared the SEN
tence too light. Klinger then withdrew his
plea of guilty, and his case was about to
go to trial After the jury had been called
it was arranged for him to again plead
guilty, which he did, and the court took
the case under advisement. The attorney
for Klinger will produce witnesses who, it
is claimed, will testify to the previous good
character of the accused.

A Favorable season.

II. f. Houghton, assistant superintendent
on the Big Four lines, formerly with the
Illinois Central says that in his long rail-
road career he has never known a fall and
winter more favorable tc railroading than
the fall months and so far this winter. On
only two days has the weather been so
severe that an engine could not haul it's
full tonnage, unless 1t be on the Michigan
division of the Big Four. where some
trouble has been experienced from snow,
but the east-and-west lines not only of the
Big Four but of the Panhandle, the Monon,
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the
Vandalia have been handling more business
than ever before, and at less cost, which
has made railroading more pleasant to the
trainmen and more profitable to the COM
panies
An official of the Vandalia said he had
been with that road nearly twenty-five
years and had never known the road to get
through December, January and February
thus far with so little trouble from cold
weather and snow. Usually there were two
or three weeks at least in which five to
eight less cars to a train could be hauled
than regularly, and often three or four
weeks, but this year not a train had been
cut down in its number of cars on account
of weather conditions.

Quiet Times with scaIpers.

1--WE are having quiet times said one of
the local scalpers yesterday. 1.-THE inter-
changeable mileage book is hard drive
at our business. Upon the mileage book we
chiefly depended for our business. Besides,
the fight in Congress against US tends to
scare persons who are a little timid in pur-
chasing mileage. We are going to hang on
until some action is taken in Congress on
the anti-scalping bill We are consoling our
selves with the belief that it will pass the
House, but will not get through the Sem
ate. There is where we are now making
the fight. Our number is diminishing here.
A few months ago there were seven full
fedged scalping Offices but now there are
practically but three. Two have CONSOLE
dated with other businesses and are making
a slim show. They are not in the associa-
ton and can do but little business. Should
the anti-scalping bill pass the Senate the
business will be ended

one of the "Important il True" stories

''They had a fire In Woodruff Place few
days ago. said a man yesterday, land
neighbor ran over in the United
States Arsenal grounds. The corporal
was found and appraised Of the emer-
gency. He got the key and ran to the
box, but as he was about to insert the key
he remembered it would be necessary to get
an order from the commanding officer be-
fore the box could be pulled. It was neces-
sary, however. to go find his sword, and
buckle il on before he could approach the
commander The corporal did this, how
ever, and secured the necessary permission
In the meantime the house in Woodruff
Place was burning, and another alarm had
been turned in.

Judge Baker yesterday remanded suit
for a writ of mandamus, brought by the
city of Muncie against the Lake Erie &
Western Railroad Company, back to the
Delaware Circuit Court. from which it had
been transferred. The writ was asked to
compel the company to remove an over
head crossing on one of the towns thor
oughfares, but Judge Baker in ruling upon
a motion made by the plaintiff in the ac-
ton, decided that the judicial power of the
Federal Court could not be exerted to issue
writs of mandamus being confned exclu-
sively to those cases in which they may be
necessary or ancillary to or in aid of a
jurisdiction already acquired.

Opposes the Seller. Fnrm switch.

Luther Maturing, owner of property along
the line of the proposed switch from the
Vandalia road to Sellers farm, appeared
in the Circuit Court yesterday to protest
against the appraisement of his land for
the right Of way. He objects to having the
railroad extend a distance of eighty feet
across his territory although the right of
way has been secured the rest of the dis
lance His attorneys and those for the In
dianapolis Desiccating Company agreed to
allow the appraisers to go ahead, but no
work is to be done until the court can de-
termine the question raised by Mahring.
He asked that appraisers be not appointed.

question as to Employees Vested
Right in His Position.

Right in His Position.
The question of whether a government
employe under the civil service can be re-
moved to a less remunerative position than
the one he holds is involved in a suit that
is about to be transferred from the Dear
born County Circuit Court to the Circuit
Court Of the United States. William d.
Welsh, Democratic employee of the sixth
revenue district, is suing Albert Geisert,
Republican employee, for $1,000 damages be-
cause Of charges made by Geisert to Col
lector Nowlin that eventually terminated
in Welsh being assigned to position that
does not pay much as the one he held
prior to the time the charges were made
Welsh. was charged with absenting himself
from duty without leave, but the charge is
sad to have been disproved. He neverthe-
less was not allowed to SO back to work
in his old position. The attorneys in car
rylng the case to the Federal Court gave
as a reason for their course that the Ques-
ton of whether civil-service employee pos
sessed vested right in his position was one
for the United States courts to determine.

Application was made to the Interstate
commerce Commission yesterday on behalf
of a large number of railroads asking for
a suspension of the fourth section of the
nterstate-commerce act, known as the
long-and-short-h haul clause on through Pa
cifc coast passenger business This action
is taken with a view to meeting the cuts
made by the Canadian Pacific road on
Alaskan and Pacific coast business. The
roads which Joined in the petition include
practically all of the transcontinental roads
and their tributaries west of Chicago. Ar
gument was made by counsel presenting
petition. They said that the Canadian Pa
ciflc had reduced through rates about one
half and as it was not subject to the in
terstate-commerce act, the only relief to
the Americans must come through a sus-
pension of that section Of the act which
prohibits the American roads from making
a less charge for a long haul than for a
shorter one. 1t was alleged that large
share of the legitimate business of the
American roads would be directed to this
Canadian competitor in the event that they
were not permitted to meet its reductions
in rates

aoNE!

We were the victim yesterday of
one Of the most distressing ACCT
dents ever known III Mliiin Centre.
Yesterday morning our wife took
occasion to do the family washing,
having been kept from it earlier IN
the week by being very busy put
ting up our winter supply OF apple
butter, Among other articles OF
wearing apparel which she in
cluded in the wash was our vest
Now, unbeknown to her, in the
| W, r right-hund pocket Of this vest
there VAS a large roll of bills,
twelve ones and IL two-$14 in all.
she dtd not discover the roll, and
after having washed the garment
thoroughly, she hung it on the line
in the back yard to dry. All
mi hit yet have been well had it
not been for Mr.. Ferdenbaugh's
large brindle COW, which is well
known to most of our citizens,
While our wife was in the parlor
visiting moment with Mrs.
Parmley, this beast--she deserves
no better name-hroke through our
back gate and deliberately ate up
our vest, money and all! Our wife
seized the mop and rushed at the
marauding intruder, but she only
tossed her head. kicked sideways
with both hind feet, and, leaped
lightly over the fence. Neither
the vest nor the money, we are
sorry to say, seemed to have any
bad effect on her scoundrelly good
health, Our wife Immediately in
formed US of the accident, and we
instantly called on Mr.. Ferden-
baugh and demanded that the
animal be slaughtered, This Mr.
Ferdenbaugh slowly refused to
assent to, He pleaded that he was
a poor man, and, as he had recent
ly bought the COW, that all of his
ready money was in her. We
naturally replied that all Of our
ready money was in her, too, but
it failed to move him. 1t was n
sad affair, all around, but one
about which nothing can be done,
