A RAILROAD RELIC
An Ancient Letter That is of
Unusual Interest.

Phil S. Binkley of East German
town has sent to Richmond friends
ar old letter received by himself
when postmaster of that place thirty
six years ago. 1t is an epistle from
the superintendent of the Columbus
& Indianapolis Central railway which
later became the Indianapolis divis-
ion of the Panhandle. 1t reads as
follows;
INDIANAPOLIS, March 16, 1865.
P. S. Binkley, Esq
Dear Strive are required, as you
are probably aware, to pass all post
Office stations not exceeding fifteen
miles per hour, and any person capa-
BILE of carrying the mail should be
able to hand on the same at that
speed. Please see if you can uot get
some one to do it for $50 per year.
Let me know the result.
Yours truly.

This was before the day of mail
cranes, that are in use at all post
Office stations where the mail trains
do not stop. At that time ii was
necessary for a man to stand close to
the track with the mail sack in his
hands so that it might b. grabbed y
the hooks attached to the car. IL
was a delicate as well as a dangerous
operation, and at the present day il
might be difficult to find a man who
would venture tackling the Job ever
at the princely salary OF $50 per year

MAKING TROUBLE
FOR THE GAS COMPANY AT
CHESTERFIELD.
A Suit is Filed to Restrain
Company From Aban-
doning the Gas
Wells There.

The Richmond Natural Gas COM
pany has been having trials and
tribulations galore in Henry county
and now comes more OF the same
kind of trouble in Madison county.
In Henry county the people want 70
restrain the company from pumping
or taking gas from the field. To re-
verse matters the Madison county
people want the company restrained
from abandoning the gas wells there.
Yesterday at Anderson, Sanford
Bronnenberg Of Chesterfield brought
suit against the local gas company to
restrain it from pulling the casing
and abandoning the wells which
were drilled more than dozen years
ago on his farm. This is said to be
the first of numerous suits that will
be filed against the Richmond COM
pany ia the event that this one is
successful. A dispatch from Ches-
terfield says:
The Richmond company has under
lease many hundred acres of land in
this territOr on which there are many
fairly good gas producing wells, but
not OF sufficient strength to supply
Richmond. Aftersmoving its pump
ing station and gas mains 1T proceed
ed to pull the pipe and plug the wells
To this the farmers, who have been
obtaining free fuel and 800 annual
rental, are vigorously remonstrat-
ing.
The action of Mr. Bronnenberg,
asking for a restraining order, is be
ing watched with interest by the
other lessons. It is understood that
the company proposed selling the
wells, but the farmers contend that
so long as they produce gas the com
pany can not cut them off withou.

Many Resolu ions Have Been Sub

Dispatched.

Scranton. Pa. Dec. THE conven-
ton of the American Federation OF
Labor has already disposed of consid
cradle routine business. There is a
full attendance of delegates and bust
ness is being transacted without q
hitch or much discussion. Thus far
IS resolutions have been presented
and referred to committees They
cover nearly every variety of subjects
that affect workmen. One of them
contained a denunciation of WI Tins
Fang, the Chipese minister. for an
alleged derogatory remark against the
American people. and another convey
ed the sincere and hearty thanks OF
the Federation of Labor to President
his message to congress on the ques-
tion of Chinese exclusion.
Among the more important resolu-
tions presented are these: Denounc-
ing Wu Ting Fang. the Chinese min
lister. for having made the alleged re-
mark that when the American people
"are biased. they are beyond argu-
ment, and reason does not appeal to
them; asking workmen to unite for
Independent political action in q party
having for its avowed object the over
throw of the capitaiistic system of
production and distribution and the
establishment of the cooperative
commonwealth; asking congress to
amend the Geary act SO as to exclude
Chinese, Japanese, Malays and all
people of Asiatic extraction and to
prevent the use of the American Pa
cific island possessions as a bridge
over which excluded races may pass
to the United States, denouncing anti

brokers' business is legitimate a con-
venience to the public, and a means
of cheapening railway travel: asking
congress for the right of suffrage for
the citizens of the District of Colum-
bia; providing for general defense
fund by levying a tax of cents per
month on every man in the American
Federation of Labor; amending the
alien contract labor law so as to in
clude musicians. A batch of resolu-
tions dealing with trade Jurisdiction
and trade autonomy were also intro
duced. A bitter contest may be waged
by the delegates when the Jurisdiction
and autonomy questions come before
the convention.

A HARRISON
DAY STORY
A Little Incident in Which
Harrison and Fairbanks f
Figured.

The following story told by w. r.
NJ. Browne IN one of the school rooms
Friday during the Harrison Day
exercises aroused considerable en-
thusiasm among the pupils:
Away back in 70 or 70 when /
was working for the Western Union
Company in a big Chicago hotel. !"
said Mr.. Browne, there came to my
office window, just before noon one
day, very tall, pleasant faced gen.
tleman, STOPPING and peeriDg through
the opening, inquiring for young
man who cuuld write like lightning
Being informed that such a freak
would be hard to find, he then stated
that be s'was looking for Mr..
Browne. | made myself known and
be then asked if | could come up 10
room 80 Immediately after lunch and
do some copying that had to be done
by 8 clock that evening.
IL agreed TO do 60. ard aRreeabse to
p4omise pfSAsnted myself ~ o ciock,
with pen and blotter, in the room
named in which, with the tall gen
tleman, were two or three others, IN
Guiding a stenographer, to al of
whom / was introduced and immedi-
ately proceeded to business, which
was to copy what this tall gentle
man, relieved at intervals by one
much shorter and more serious look
ing, read to me from pile of manu-
script, which to me looked formida-
BILE. No press operator ever wrote
faster, or more steadily than l had to
do that afternoon, keeping pace with
those two perfect readers, every
sentence complete in phraseoloey
and punctuation, and before six
o. clock the short man informed me
that the work, transcript of testi-
mony in some railroad litigation, was
done, and with the thanks of them
both handed me FIVE dollar bill.
THE point to this story" con-
tinued Mr.. Browne, ''is the fact
that the short stout man was Benz.
Harrison. shortly afterward United
States senator from Indiana, and
eventually the Presidents Of the
United States; and that the tall
slender gentleman was Charles W.
Fairbanks, now representing Indi-
ana in the q. S. senate, and who viii
be the next President of tie United
States.
The applause which greeted this
statement indicated the popularity
of Senator Fairbanks among the
children of that school at least.

Suit to be Filed.

Der of the board of managers of the

terday at the institution. The con-
tractors, P. H. Mccormack & Co.. OF
Columbus, Ind, were paid $12, 500,
the last estimate on the work. The
contractors made formal demand
for $25, 900 for extras" but the
board declined to allow it. 1t is the
understanding of the mem bers Of the
board that the contractors will now
bring suit against the state and the
board will fight it.

More Rolling Stock for the
Local Street Railway
Company.

The local street railway company
mas received six more cars for the
city lines. While the cars are new
for Richmond they are not fresh
from the factory, although they are
practically as good. They were pur-
chased from the Cincinnati Street

the equipment recently replaced by
bigger cars. 1t is said that they
were in use but short time, and are
in first class condition.
The survey of the Cambridge City
extension is to be made within the
course of few weeks, but it has not
been definitely decided whether or
not the work of constructing the
