T.. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania and the Vandalia lines, was
in the city yesterday for a conference with
his nine assistant and district passenger
agents, the following passenger officials be-
ing present. Dering of Chicago, Kimball of
Cleveland, Rockwell of Cincinnati, Moody of
Pittsburg, Harris of Columbus, Haines Of
Dayton, Hagety of Louisville, Chesborough
of st. Louis, and Richardson of Indianapolis
Mr. Ford impressed on their minds in a
very positive manner that every man was
expected to live up to the tariff rates of the
Pennsylvania lines as recently filed with the
Interstate-commerce Commission. In speak
ing of the bill before the Indiana Legisla-
ture making cents a mile the passenger
rate in this State Mr.. Ford said it was a
serious matter, and would, if passed, mean
inferior train service and the abolition of
all reduced rates to conventions, society
meetings and excursions as the roads at
present rates were making but little money
on passenger service carried He is having
statistics prepared which will be a surprise
tistics will show that on the best divisions
of the Pennsylvania lines two-tenths of
cent per mile per passenger carried in
1898 was the profit realized, while on roads
which did not have as heavy travel but one
tenth of O. cent was realized Further. he
said 2-cent-a-mile rate would mean that
the expenses of the passenger department
must be curtaled and the employees on the
lines would be affected by reduction in num-
very satisfactory to the trainmen and en-
plOyeS on the lines generally,

AWAKES FROM LONG SLEEP.
Montreal Woman Regains Conscious
ness After Twenty-Eight Days.

MONTREAL, Que, Jan. 19.-Miss Eva
Roche, the victim of the twenty-eight days
of lethargic sleep, following attack of
hysteria, was awakened yesterday by the
application of actual cautery on the neck and
along the spinal column down to the middle
of the shoulders. The instrument used con-
sisted of handle containing twelve alumni
tim needles, the points of which were
brought to a white heat by putting them in
the cobination flame of two benzine and al
cohol lamps. There were several of these
instruments, and when one lost its heat
another was substituted. At the first three
or four burns applied the young wamon re-
vived and uttered a faint moan. as if suf-
ferng from pain. The operation was con-
tinued until about fifty applications had
been made but very lightly. She then be-
came perfectly conscious and seemed very
much surprised at the sight of the DOCTORS
When she awoke she said that she suffered
no pain. but was very sleepy. She recog-
nized her parents, however, at once.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 19.-The Iron
Trade Review says: THE promoters of the
tin-plate consolidation, at the head of whom
was Judge William II. Moore, of Chicago,
are now well under way with a much larger
contract-the consolidation of the central
Western and as many other steel mills as
can be secured. The secrecy with which the
tin-plate negotiations were carried on until
the deal was practically concluded is well
remembered, but in this instance considera-
BILE information has already filtered out, al
though the trade at large has not under
stood the bearing of the negotiations which
have been in progress with individual steel
manufacturers and has enormously attrlb-
uted them to the Federal Steel Company,
American Steel and Wire Company and the
American Tin-plate Company. With the
Bellaire (O) Steel Company negotiations
have progressed farthest and options
have been secured on a majority of
the stock of the corporation, which is $780,
000, in $50 shares. 1t is affirmed that at least
the control of the company will pass to the
steel consolidation promoters, in view of their
ability to secure whatever capital is needed.
Negotiations have been conducted, also, with
ali but one of the central Western producers
on both beSsemer and open-hearth steel, in
Guiding those at Muncie Columbus, Youngs-
town and Sharon. with most OF the planlS
referred to options have already been given
and an option has been secured on the plant
of a prominent steel producer in Allegheny
county, Pennsylvania. The aim seems
to be the consolidation of all or very
nearly all of the bessemer and open
hearth steel plants in Indiana, Ohio and the
Shenango Valley in Pennsylvania including.
of course, those owned by the Federal Steel
Company and the American Steel and Wire
Company. Technically. at least, the move
ment is wholly separated from the Ameri-
can Tin-plate Company. Another consolida-
ton proposition is that for bringing together

The f.. & IT. H. Prospecting.

The New York Evening Post says it is
learned from official sources that the Ev-
ansville & Terre Haute Railroad Company
WILL at it's next dividend declaration, make
disbursements at the rate of per cent. per
annum on the preferred stock outstanding.
This stock declared per cent. in 1885, none
In 1897 and per cent. in 1895, that being the
first dividend since the preferred stock was
issued to retire the Evansville & Richmond
bonds. The income OF the road last year
was charged with heavy expenditures on
account of the extraordinary repairs and
betterments. some of which might properly
have been bonded as permanent improve
ments. Income since July l, in consequence
of this and of good business, has shown an
increase, and. while the company does not
make any public reports of monthly net
earnings, it is known that in the five months
ended Nov. 80 it earned over per cent on
the preferred shares. The preferred shares
are limited to 5 per cent.

OLD STORY TOLD AGAIN
b. & o. CHARGES COMPETITORS WITH
RATE CUT'TINGaAT CHICAGO.
Representatives of Pennsylvania
Lines Must Absolutely Maintain
Passenger Tariff Rates.

There is considerable talk at Chicago over
the accusation Of the Baltimore & Ohio that
two Of it's competitors have been cutting
east-bound rates and that the Baltimore e.
Ohio does not get it's share of business for
that reason. For some days the Baltimore &,
Ohio has had detectives at work at Chicago
and it is stated by an official of that road
that they have secured evidence to sustain
the charge, which will be placed before the
Interstate-commerce Commission. The Balti-
more & Ohio officials further claim that they
have evidence that two competing lines have
been guilty Of selling tickets at less rates
than those filed within the Interstate-com-
merce Commission.
