The Eel River Road.

The time is approach ng when the status
OF this road must be fixed, as the Wabash
will abandon il about Sept. l. John T. Dye,
the attorney who represents the purchasers
of the Eel River Railway, was in Fort
Wayne on Wednesday, and his visit there
and the persons he conferred with has
aroused speculation as TO the future of the
road. 1t is understood that the Wabash
will abandon the road on the completion
of it's Fort W~ayne-Butler link. Under the
contract this piece of road should be COM
pleted by Sept. !, but as the contractors
have been troubled 10 get labOrers, there
Is a possibility that ii will not be in shape
for traffic before Oct. 1. 1t is not believed
that the purchasers of the road will ope-
rate II. They cannot lease to the Wabash,
as that would mean a continuation of the
onense for which the former lease was de-
clared void, and the Wabash will have it's
own line to Detroit and Will, therefore,
have no use for the Eel River road. There
is a rumcr that the Lake Shore may lease
the line, giving LOgansport a new road to
the East. The Lake Shore connects with
the Eel River road at Butler. and the lat
ter road would make a good feeder for the
former. AnOthey report Is that the Penn
s%ylvania Company has still under consider
alton the leasing OF the Eel River road,
giving IL a direct line from ST. Louis in
connection with the Vandalia TO the pin
cries and summer resorts of northern
Michigan. Sixty days will probably settle
the question as to who is to get the prop
erty and in what manner it is to be OPP
Grated.

A very unhappy condition Of things seems
10 prevail with the Central Passenger As

quarrel that is likely 10 break out afresh
almost any time. The Wabash. which orig

nervous over the affair to seek he inter

Agent Crane, OF the Wabash. says he does
not wish TO bring on another dispute. but,
as under the ruling Of Arbitrator Martin.
he has been compelled to advance mis-
rates, he proposes that other and compet-
ing lines shall do the same thing. The Sc
rious Western situation has been the occa-
sion Of an exciting conference among the

BUSY DAY AT PITTSBURG.
Big Shipments OF Coal Being Pre-
pared to Go south.

Pittsburg. Nov. 26.-The busiest
place in Pittsburg to-day was the
river front, where preparations were
being made for the first shipment of
coal South in months. The shipment
will probably not exceed 100000 BUSH
els the curtailment being due to the
uncertainty of the boating stage of
water. The strike does not affect the
independent firms, all having signed
the scale.
The pilots tonight still remain firm
in their demands. According to them
the Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke Company have only
been able to send one third of the coal
out on this rise. Had the combine been
able to secure pilots they would have
sent out 10000 900 bushels.
The independent coal companies have
been getting out their coal with great
success. These companies sent out 80
coal barges to-day. 1t is the opinion
of the officials of the independent COM
panies that if the strikers are able to
hold out they will get their scale sign
ed by the combination company.
The combine officials are very de-
cided in their announcement that un-
der no circumstances will they sign the
scale. The total amount of coal ship
ped down the river to-day was $685.
500 bushels.

Chicago Young Men Adds Another

said, crowded disappearance from the
University of Indiana, visit to In
dianapolis, elopement with young wo-

and a second isappearance-this time,
presumably to New York.
For all these statements the father
of the young man is authority, with
the explanation that his son has fire.
quently intervals when impulses drives
him to embarra ssing acts.
The present disappearance brought
to sudden end a honeymoon of seven
days spent with his bride at the Pal
mer House. The wife, according to
her husbands father, had returned TO
her home in Indianapolis, heartsick
and in tears.
Henley had an apparently uncon-
trollable desire to buy things. Among
the purchases delivered at the door of
his room in the university town, were
boilers and mechanical appliances of
various kinds. Sometimes the bill
amounted to as much as $500, but his
father settled the accounts.
Henley gave out the statement that
he was going to New York, but his
father thinks he has not left Chicago.
His father had not learned positively
the identity of the girl whom his son
married. but says she is the daughter
of a prominent Indianapolis man.

budded to this fruit and the crop next
year will be heavy. i
Cotton is about all picked and most
