TONNAGE IS INCREASING
OVER 22,OOO CARS HANDLED AT IN
DIANAPOLIS LAST WEEK.
Passenger officials of Central Traffic
Association Lines to Meet ON
Wednesday-PersOn Notes.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis i'm
the week ending Dec. 10 total of q 535
cars. $50 being loaded, 1.720 more than in
the week ending Dec B. an Increase over the
corresponding week Of 1897 of 119l loaded
cars; over 1896. 3.sS2; over 1895. 2.264; over
1894, 4,49O. The indianapolis lines, as for
months past. are doing a business largely
in excess Of any former period. the increase
in number of loaded cars handled not fully
representing the increase i'm tonnage in
many classes of freight, much has the
carrying capacity Of ears been increased of
late years. the grain. the cotton and coal
car of to-day carrying ten to fifteen more
tons of freight than the cars of ten years
ago. The more satisfactory feature of the
business situation with the indianapolis
roads Is that every Ire is short of cars and
the traffic is not a mere spasmOdic increase.
Present conditions will continue for months
to come, so general is the improvement and
such quantities of freights are there TO be
moved. The shipments of grain East, for
both domestic and export consumption, are
very heavy. and the shipments of miscel-
laneOus freights are largely in excess of that
usually carried I'm December. West-bound
the loaded-car movement continues in ex-
cess of that of the corresponding period last
year. While in tho higher-class freights
there is a heavier tonnage, in the lower
class freights, such as heavy groceries, coal
and coke, etc, increase is the most notice
able. Local business continues heavy, much
to the surprise of freight men, who had
expected that December would bring a
marked falling off instead. Seldom is there
a week in which more freights have been
handled over the platforms at the city
freight depots and in the bulk yards At
present the manufacturers of cerealine
products are heavy shippers, as are the
packing houses Not in many years has
there been as much coal handled by In
dianapolis lines as in the last ten days, so
many manufacturers are now using coal as
fuel Receipts of grain and live stock last
week were the largest at any time the pres
ent year, and local industries of all kinds
seldom at this season of the year are as
heavy shippers. Below is. given the car
movement for the week ending Dec. 10, and
for the corresponding weeks of 1897 and 1896:

The late Harold Frederic left his family in
the direSt straits. His goods and chattelS
have already been seized by creditors. The
administrator announces that the debts are
$4,000 and the assets nil Mr.. Frederic was
a young man. and was earning year by year
a handsome income His health always,
until very recently. appeared to be rugged,
and he had no fear of the future. AS a
journalist he must have earned at least
1850 year; as d novelist he must have
received 5000 more. This makes very
comfortable income and Mr. Frederic had
u reasonable prospect of enjoying it for
twenty years TO come Cut off suddenly.
however, he leaves nothing but debts and a
destitute family. Two novels were left in
manuscript. and one of these. Gloria
Mundi." has been published. The Saturday
Review. of which Mr.. Frederic was a star
contributor, says that this is not a very
good book and sums up all of the writer
efforts in fiction thus. He was a big man
who did small work" From his publishers
he hat drawn every penny that he could
get in advance of royalties. and the pros
poets of his widow and family seem pc
culiary gloomy.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Week of Good Trade, Fine Winter
Weather Being the StimuIant.

Trade has been good the wholesale streets
the past week. The weather for week has been
just what needed to stimulate fall and win
ter trade and most lines have been benefited bv
the seasonable weather. All indications are for
an exceptionally good holiday trade and disposi-

few changes in values and in dry goods and staple
groceries there is hardening tendency noticeable

TURNED HIr1
RepieVined a Watch Which Her Dis
 Carded Lover Had Given Her.

Kansas City, Aug. 21-According to the history of a case given to Constable Winch of Justice Ebert's court, J. w. Lane had presented to his intended" gold watch, purchased from jeweler at Thirteenth and Grand avenue. 1n- side the cover of the watch he had the jeweler make this inscription: "J. w. L. to I. A. D., July 23." After "I. A. D." had kept track of the f1eeting mo- ments for several days with the watch and "J W. L." had taken it back to the jeweler to have more ornamental dial put in it for her, she abruptly in formed him one day that the initials were wrong and that her name was now Isabella A. Edgar. Lane was a native of the state, and it was neces- sary for Isabella A. Edgar z produce her husband and her marriage license before he would believe
 Yesterday afternoon Lane was shown" to his satisfaction, and he at once notified the jeweler, who still held the watch, that he would be around to replevin it early on Monday morn ing. But it was another case of "best laid plans" which gang aft aglp.," for when J. w. Lane paused before the jewellers window this morning t17e watch was gone. Isabella A. Edgar had replevined it.

NAVAL CADETS ON LEAVE.
The Undergraduate of Annapolis
 Academy Sent Home.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Naval cadets not graduated from the naval academy are being detached from ships and or dered home on leave until the last of September, when the regular academic course begins. All of the present first and second class were relieved from Annapolis last spring, and, with the two classes taking the regular cruise previous to final graduation, were as signed to ships of the two big fleets under Admirals Sampson and Dewey and throughout the war many of these youngsters in a number of instances performed meritorious services, men, tion of which was made at the time to the navy department
 The most notable case was that of Cadet Powell, who followed Hobson in steam launch to the mouth of San uago harbor and lay to, hoping to pick him up should he escape to the sea- Powell was appointed an ensign by special provision of congress, and is the first cadet in the history of the academy advanced in this manner Other cadets also rendered conspicuous service, although not to an extent war ranting the promotion received by Powell. There are now afioat not only the two-year men, but nearly all the other cadets who have not gradu- ated. The lower classes asked to be sent to sea instead of going home on leave, and where their request could be granted the authority was given.
