THE FAST FREIGHT LINES
A CLEARING HOUSE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE CONSOLIDATION.
Panhandle Train Crews Disturbed
Over Sending Larger Engines West
improvements on the MOnon.

At meeting of the presidents and traffic
officials of the Vanderbilt lines, held at the
Grand Central Depot, New York, it has
been agreed to consolidate all the various
fast freight lines operating over the differ
ent roads in the Vanderbilt systems in two
lines, the one to be composed of the lines
operating over the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad and it's connections.
and the other of those running over the
West Shore Railroad and its connections.
The former line will embrace the present
Red, White. Midland, Blue and Canada
Southern lines; the latter the North Shore
Dispatch. West Shore and Nickel-plate line.
President Galloway says: There will be
a general manager at the head of each
system, thereby reducing the number
of managers from five to two. An
entirely new feature of the consolidation
will be the establishing of a clearing house
in Buffalo, through which the accounts and
claims of all these fast freight lines will
pass for examination and audit. BY thus
concentrating the accounts in single office
the Vanderbilt authorities believe that they
will both simplify and expedite business as
well as achieve very important economy.
Eight different sets of accounts will be re-
placed by one 1t is probable that one of
the present fast freight line managers will
be put in charge of the clearing house.
That appointment is yet to be announced.
After the new arrangement goes into effect
the clearing house managers will receive all
accounts from each fast freight line and re-
port periodically to the respective managers
of the fast freight divisions. Subsequent
statements will be sent to each railroad
company interested and balances will be
settled monthly. 1t is intended, further
more to close as rapidly practicable all
OF the fast freight line agencies west of
Chicago and St. Louis"
Samuel Goodman, assistant freight traffic
manager of the New York Central Railroad,
says the new arrangement would undoubt-
edly effect a great saving. Instead of each
of these freight line accounts being kept in
its own offices. as heretofore, said he. "aIl
will now be kept in a central clearing house

CHARGES AGAINST LOWE
COMMISSIONER ROTH WANTED TO
THROW THEM IN THE BASKET.
A Police Sergeant Before the Board of
Safety-ExtraVaganc in Tele-
phOnes-ParIS System Survey.

The Board of Public Safety met yesteT-
day morning and the charges against Ser
geant John Lowe, of the police force, were
read by Clerk Davis. The charges were
brought by Clayton Nottingham, who lives
at 81 West Washington street. He alleges
the police sergeant insulted his wife and
his servant. The trouble arose out of the
strictness with which Sergeant Lowe has
been keeping women of questionable char
acter off the streets at night. pursuant to
a recent rule by Superintendent Quigley.
The sergeant says he took the two women
mentioned for the class he had been ordered
to keep from the streets because he had
seen them on West Washington street as
late as l o'clock in the morning talking to
men.
81 move we throw them in the waste
basket, said Mr. Roth, after the charges
had been read
81 suppose that is where they ought to
co. said Mr.. Morse, but 1 move they be
referred to the superintendent for investi-
cation"
The charges were referred to Superintend-
ent Quigley.
A bill was presented to the board by the
Central Union Telephone Company for
$3O6.2S for telephones in the police station
from March II to June 80. There are nine
telephones in the police station Four of
them are long-distance instruments. The
board decided the number of telephones was
extravagant. A trip was made to the police
station to see what telephones were super
fuous. AS a result of the investigation $36
telephones will be substituted for the $72
long-distance instruments in the captains
Office and the detectives office Another
saving of $72 will be made in that the long
distance instruments will be taken out of
the bicycle patrolmen's room and a private
telephone put in.
A bill was submitted for horseshoeing for
the fire department amounting to $117.70.
The board found it was paying several
horseshoers different prices for the same
kind of work The bill of the fire depart
ment for telephones was S292.26.
Patrick McMahan, of the fire department,
was notified he would be dismissed unless
he paid a certain bill. This claim was filed
before the board issued its recent ultima
tum" that it would not continue as a col
lection agency for the police and fire de-
partmentS.

THE COLORED COMPANIES.
As q Rule the Members Are in Good
Physical Condition.

After an all-day effort the medical exam
liners passed upon the physical condition of
about half of the members of the colored
companies. The reflections were few in
number, and generally for causes that may
be remedied. Capt. Jacob M. Porter passed
by the grace of the Governor, as he failed
in the medical examination. Some time ago
Captain Porter expressed the opinion to the
Governor that he feared he would not be
accepted by the physicians, but he was told
that in any event he would receive his COM
mission conditional on his defects being
noted on his enlistment papers. The other
five commissioned officers passed without
any trouble. Great care was taken by the
examiners in their work on the enlisted
men, but nearly all the applicants appeared
to be in excellent health and were accepted

Recruiting the signal Corps.

Captain McIntire, of the volunteer signal
corps, added five men to his list of recruits
yesterday and expects. with the addition of
fifteen more men, who have already been
notified to appear for examination, to be
able to report mis- company ready for serv-
ice. The men expected are from different
parts of the State, and in their applications
they were described as being possessed of
all the qualifications for the service. These
men are more difficult to recruit, not be-
cause of any lack of men, but because the
work being OF a technical character, the
qualifications are necessarily of higher
character than other branches of the serv-
ice. The men enlisted yesterday were: Y.
A. Vance, Connersville; John A. Duncan,
Charlottesville; j. Fl. Cave, Kirkpatrick;
w. r. Synder, Shelburn; H. A. Gunner,

EMIL snnnIx of blankets.

Among the supplies received yesterday by
Lieutenant Peterson from the War Depart
ment was a full supply of blankets for the
new regiment. AS at first there was some
doubt as to whether they could be obtained
from the government. a conditional request
was made on Governor Mount by Lieutenant
Waterman for the use of the old blankets
stored in the basement of the Statehouse,
which was granted. The old State blankets
are sorry lot. full of moth holes and ready
to fall apart. While they could have been
used in an emergency. the opinion of the
old national guardsmen wso used them for a
time is distinctly against their affording any
protection from the elements experienced in
