Inspecting the Property.

NJ. d. woodford, president of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton lines and of the
Indiana, Decatur & Western, yesterday
morning, accompanied by Superintendent
Graves and Traffic Manager Lazarus, left
on a special train to inspect the Indiana,
Decatur & Western, including the river d.
vision, returning last evening. Mr.. Wood
ford was much pleased over the great i'm
provement In the condition of the river d.
vision made in the last few months. When
HI last went over the road a speed of
twelve miles an hour was really unsafe;
now ninety miles an hour would be safe
for a passenger train, and with better
track and better service the business of the
road has nearly doubled since 1t came into
control of the Indiana, Decatur & Western
management. The condition of the Indiana,
Decatur & Western proper is also very
gratifying to the party, and the earnings
of the l., d. & w. for 1899 were the best in
the history of the road. The river division
the last few months has been a good
feeder TO the L., ID. & w. This morning
Mr.. Woodford will inspect the shops at this
point and the city freight depot and yards,
which were recently opened to traffic. re-
turning to Cincinnati at noon and to-mor-
row leaving for New York.

MANY HOUSES VISITED
BY HENRY STACEY, WHO Is TESTING
GAS PRESSURE FOR THE CITY.
The Pressure Very Low I'm Nearly Ev-
cry MISUNDERSTANDING to the
Suit Against the City.

Henry Stacey and a plumber continued
the investigation Of the gas pressure in In
d%ianapolis yesterday. and instead of finding
a better condition than when the first trip
was made last week the localities visited
yesterday showed but a very small pres
sure. 1t was the intention Of Mr.. Stacey
to visit only the fire department houses in
the city yesterday, but he also took the
pressure at several private residences.
While taking the pressure at 54 West
Twelfth street he met the "gas man." Mr..
Stacey had just applied the gauge and
found that but IL Of n ounce was regis
tered. Residents of the street paid for the
laying of the street mains. n they are
setting up long and continuous complaints
about the scarcity Of gas. The houses that
depended on gas did not have enough OF
the fuel to keep the family warm. The
'gas man" came to the door and presented
the monthly bill, but he was offered no
New Years greeting. He received a very
chilly reception, but went on his way with
a glance at the little blue flame in the
stove about the size of a candle light.
The first place visited was the fire de-
partment headquarters, where the pressure
taken was but one-eighth of an ounce. At
No. Is engine house the pressure was a
trlHe more, registering ABOUT One-nftn OF
an ounce. The gauge showed a pressure at
No. 6 engine house Of a trihe over .05.
These were all the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany's mains. At No. 1 engine house there
was a pressure Of .15 ounce on the Trust
company's mains. The other pressures
taken were as follows: No. 1914 Central
avenue. IL Of an ounce; No. 2 engine house,
Hillside avenue. 2.27 ounces (this was on
the main line near the regulatory; 1921
North West street, % of an ounce; 2102
North Alabama street, .05; 1912 North New
Jersey, IL.
Mr.. Stacey says the gas condition in this
city Is deplorable, and that many places
he visited he found the residents suffering
from the cold. He will continue his inves-
tigation to-day, taking In the remainder
of the fire department houses. Chairman
Evans, Of the committee on contracts and
franchises of the City Council, may call a
meeting Of the committee for tonight to
renew the discussion Of the new ordinance
and endeavor to arrive at final conclusions,
SO that the ordinance may be returned to
the Council. when a special session of that
body will probably be called.

Charles Barrett, of Somerville, Mass, in
a representative suit on behalf of holders
Of the minority stock of the p, c., c.. & st.
l.. Railway Company filed a petition in the
United States Circuit Court at Cincinnati
yesterday asking the court to enjoin the
Panhandle directors from paying for GER
tain improvements which they have been
recently making on different parts Of the
system from moneys realized as net earn
ings. claiming that a contract was entered
into In the articles Of consolidation which
required the company to use certain bonds
and preferred stock for such improvements,
they being of a permanent character, and
to pay out the net earnings to the stock
holders. This suit appears to be different
from the usual claims of minority holders,
because 1t is insisted, in this case, that the
question OF distribution of net earnings to
the amount substantially of 5 per cent. is
not left to the discretion Of the directors,
but that they are under express obligation,
Under the consolidation agreement, to dis
tribute net earnings to that amount among
the stockholders, instead or applying them
to permanent improvements. The case is
one of unusual Importance. both for this
reason and the further one that If the claim
is sustained the Pennsylvania Railroad
Ter of a majority of the stock OF the p, c.,
c. & st. l.. Railway Company, will be COM
PEELED to submit to the issue on the part Of
the latter company of securities for all i'm
provements hereafter of a permanent char
acter and meanwhile pay out net earnings
to the amount above mentioned to the
stockholders. 1t Is easy to discern the Sc
sion will be looked for with far more han
ordinary interest.
