ONE HAD A CHISEL.
Two Suspects Held Up by the Detec-
tives Last Night.

During the last two or three weeks there
have been several burglaries in the neigh
borhood of Capitol avenue and Merrill
street, and Detectives Asch and Dugan
have been trying to locate the thieves They
have not been able to find any Of the goods
stolen or any clew to the burglars. Last
night, however, they made two arrests
which they think may have a tendency to
stop some of the thieving. They saw two
men coming along Merrill street, near Hi
nois. They stopped hem and found one of
them trying to get rid of a big chisel, which
corresponded to the impressions made in
windows forced by the burglars. The other
had a revolver. The first was Edward
Smith, alias Lee Kennedy. He was arrested
and charged with having burglars tools in
his possession and with lettering. The
other was Mart Corydon. He is a brother
Of Larry Corydon, now serving a term in
the Indiana Reformatory. He was but re-
Gently released from the Ohio prison. He
was charged with being known thief,
lettering and carrying concealed weapon.
The detectives also picked up Hugh Crit
nm, colored, who was trying to sell a dozen
silver-plated spoons for Is cents. He was
charged with peddling without a license.
Griffin says the spoons were given to him
by man he did not know. He is an old
offender.

A FAST THROUGH TRAIN
THE FASTEST LONG-DIspANCE TRAIN
RUN IN THIS COUNTRY.
Joint Traffic Association Takes Action
Against ScaIping--The Wabash
strengthening Its Position.

A fast mail train of five postal cars and
three express cars arrives from New York
over the Pennsylvania lines daily, at $50
p. M, which, as soon as the mail for Indian
apoiis is delivered, speeds westward over
the Vandalia. This train leaves Jersey City
at $40 p m, Indianapolis time, and reaches
indianapolis at $50 p. m, next evening. It
leaves Indianapolis at 7:10 p. M, reaches
St Louis at 1:44 a. m, and thence goes over
the Missouri Pacific, reaching Kansas City
at 10:40 e. m, from which point, as soon
as an engine can be attached, it goes over
the Union Pacific to Denver, which is
reached at a. M, second morning. To ac-
complish this and make up the time often
lost in changing mail matter at Pittsburg,
Columbus, Indianapolis and st. Louis, it
is not unusual to haul this train for long
stretches at sixty miles an hour. and when
conditions are favorable seventy miles.
Reaching a division point late subjects the
road at fault to heavy fine. A few years
ago it took twice the length of time to cover
the distance. 1t is said negotiations are
pending for still further shortening the
time of this train.

TRADE MARK ALSO SOLD
ANOTHER KRAG-REYNOLDs ASSET is
TURNED INTO CASH.
The Attorneys Are Almost Ready to
Make Another Proposition for
n Settlement.

Yesterday evening in Room g. Superior
Court, the embarrassing machinery and
trade mark of the insolvent Krag-Reynolds
Grocery Company was sold to George w.
Stout, who last week purchased the stock
of groceries in the hands of Receiver Ccffin.
Mr.. Stout pays $500 for the machinery and
trade mark. 1t was understood the value
placed on the trade mark was SIS. Marcus
l.. Hare, who owns the building occupied
by the Krag-Reynolds Company put in
a bid against Mr.. Stout, but his bid fell
several dollars short of the price paid. Mr..
Hare did not desire the machinery removed
from the building lest it depreciate the rent

sale grocery purposes Attorney Shepard
objected to the sale of the trade mark at the
price named. He said he had heard it said
the trade mark was worth at least $780,

Company say they are almost ready to
make proposal to the creditors. They de-
cline to state definitely the basis on which
they hope to make settlement.

The Wrestling Match To-Nieht

Sam Murbarger took his last long run
yesterday morning preparatory to his
match this evening with Elmer Woodrnan-
see, of Cincinnati, which is to occur at the

ten miles each morning. His course lis usu-
ally out North Meridian street to Thirty
eighth street, across to the fair grounds
and back by way of College avenue He
covers this distance in little over an hour
making almost as good time as the cleo
trio cars. He says it is the best thing he
can do for his wind After the run he is
ready for a course of work in his training
quarters. Yesterday morning he wrestled
with two or three local heavy weights
spared some with his trainer and punched
the bag for half an hour. AT noon he was
ready for the day of rest, which he takes
before a match. He spent the afternoon in
driving. Murbarger is in good condition
and is heavier that ever before. He will

way, but 1t is the intention to enlarge 1t

ing the new house a number of merchants

any reason to believe that what was proper
compensation in 1873 and 1873 can be an hon.
est charge to-day?
In these circumstances, it is not strange
that Immigrant railroads, receiving so per
cent of the regular tolls, are just as eager
for postal business as the others, ana COM
pete for it in a. way that shows that that
percentage of the regular rates is very
satisfying. 1t is true that the railroad COM
panies provide certain facilities for postal
matter not accorded to other business ana
this, too, complexities the problem in estl-
mating w dsvd pr4Per s to fbe
within quarter of mile of their stations;
they provide large and often costly rooms
at terminal points for the sorting OF mail;
service, and all these things should be TAX
en- into account, for the railroads are GER
tainly entitled to their just dues, and in
these days of Populistic fury they are not
likely to get more.
The sum paid for railway transportation
for the year ending juno 90, 1897, was
$2S, SIS, S90i1 This is so considerable fac
tor in the whole cost that If 1t could with
propriety be cut in two the problem of the
duction would, 1t is believed by exceed
ingly conservative students of the postal
problem. be none at all too great. Besides
eliminating the deficit, the reduction would
pave the way for certain desirable improve
aents in the postal service. We might have
throughout the better-settled parts of this
country one free delivery of mail day. We
should have one-cent letter postage That
class of mail now pays 80 cents a pound,
ana COSTS, even WITH the eAtfdNdSdnl fdIeS
paid to the railroads. only 80 nts to trans
port and handle, making for The handling
the largest possible allowance of the total
cost for that branch of the service. The
government ought not in justice to make
200 per cent on any class of mail matter
with the business conducted badly, and 400
per cent. profit if properly done.
The public should demand Of It's repre-
sentahves in Congress that this question Of
railway compensation be taken up and con-
sidered. 1t does not suffice to argue that
as the present rates have been undisturbed
for twenty years, 1t is difficult to do any
thing now 1t is urged that the railroad
companies have such control over the post
Office committees that bill reducing these
rates could never be reported no matter
how earnest the chairman or a few Of the
committee might be for 1t. If that be true,
the speaker OF the House should be called
upon to make up a postofflce committee
which will recommend such a bill, and the
public should accept no excuse for indiffer-
ence and inattention to this great problem
If the treasury, through postoffice appro-
priations, is subsidizing the railroads TO the
extent of $15, 900 a year, 1t Is time that the
public knew it, and If continued ii should
be done squarely and avowedly as a subsidy
to help along a worthy industry. On the
score Of reasonable compensation" present
rates are a deception and snare.

The board of managers of the Joint Traf-
fic Association, who have heretofore taken
no steps to aid directly the general passen-
ger agents of the trunk lines and of the
Central Traffic Association in their efforts
to suppress the scalping of tickets have APP
proved of the following recommendation:
That hereafter, preliminary to a reduc-
ton Of fare on round-trip tickets, and as
condition of such reduction to representa-
tive organizations, such as the National
Educational Association, the Christian En-
deavor convention, the Grand Army of the
Republic knights Templars, etc., an agree
ment be obtained from the general officers
of such bodies that they, in connection with
their local committees, shall, through the
proper authorities, have ticket brokers re-
strained from trading in the reduced fare
tickets issued for such meetings or occa-
sions, this being deemed alike necessary in
the interest of the railroad companies, the
particular organizations accorded reduction
of fare and the public in general"

Extending the ola Midland.

A dispatch from Anderson last night
says: 1T is stated tonight, with a great
deal of certainty, that the Chicago &
Southeastern, the old Midland, will imme-
diately be extended on through to Muncie
from this city. which has always been the
eastern terminal The financial affairs have
been put in shape and Contractor William
Cronin, of this city, will begin work to-
morrow. To-day pieces of property were
purchased which now gives the company
a clear right of way from this city to the
center of Muncie. Twenty miles of the
grading was completed two years ago. 1t is
understood that the Midland is not only
planned as far as Muncie, but is later to
be pushed through from there to Lima and
eventually to Toledo. The road at present
extends from this city to Brazil, a dis
tance of los miles, and is the property of
Harry Crawford, OF Chicago The road has
been doing very good business 1t is said,
and many back claims are being paid up,
which gives grounds for the belief that the
reports that the Monon is to absorb the
road are not entirely without foundation"

For some time the Western roads have
been figuring on the rates to be made for
the Transmississippi Exposition to be held
in Omaha. They have been desircus of
making low rates, but have been waiting
to see if Congress would take any action
regarding the exposition, as whatever it
does would be likely to have considerable
effect on the atter.Cance and the roads
would then be in "a better position To make
proper rates. They have, however, grown
tired of waiting fer Congress 20 act and
have referred the matter to the Omaha
roads with the request that they take the
matter up and dispose of it at the earliest

rangements for carrying the traffic to and

ton kept open house yesterday afternoon
and evening to its friends in the new club

dreds of visitors were most favorably i'm
pressed with the new quarters. Less than
three months ago the managers of the as
ISOLATION received a 5000 donation toward
a new home from George w. Snlder. In that
time the donations have been increased to
over $4,000 and the H. I. Condo property,
just above school No. 8, has been pur-
chased, Mr.. Condo donating $4,000 OF the
price of the property to the association. The
donations made assure the association
