day and is registered at the Denison Hotel.
He will be here until after the meeting
Tuesday. Many of the candidates will
likely be present at this meeting AL
though there are three candidates for the

Bigler may, after all, be persuaded to ac-
cept the place again. Mr.. Bigler is not
candidate and has declared he would I'M

thought by some that Mr.. Bigler will be
successfully urged to take the place again

place." Mr.. Bigler arrived in the city last
night. Following is the new committee:

A SeIf-ExpIan Note.

An official of the Wabash writes the
Journal: THE Wabash was not the first
road TO recede from the agreement to
nonissuance of passes in Central Traffic
Association territory. AS you have quoted
Mr.. NJ. f. Ingalls,. president of the Big
Four, L beg to remind you that the act
ton of the Big Four in extending its 1901
ANIMALS to Jan. 81, 1902. was the first break
that occurred in the agreement, and the
first official notice of intention to issue
exchange passes came from the Pennsyl
vania company. The Wabash was the last
road to take any action with a view to
breaking the anti-pass agreement in Cen
trail Traffic territory.
LAS to the competition of the Glover
Leaf, of which you speak: This is certainly
news to traffic department. as our
loaded movement in the territory indi-
Gated has been steadily on the increase
during the past three months, which would
seem to show that we are not very much
affected by the action of parties favorable
to the Glover Leaf"

LAST WEEK IN THIS CITY.

the Pass ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Personal Railway News.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ended Jan. IS a total of 2s.327
cars. 22.319 being loaded. 2,110 more than
were handled at this point in the CORE
spending week of 1901 and LA more than
in the same time in 1900 when rates were
considerably demoralized. The increased
movement of empty cars is evidence of an
easing-up in the car shortage. However,
there is not an Indianapolis line that would
not be doing more business were the sup
ply of locomotives and cars adequate TO
meet the demand. In no former period
las the tonnage loaded here been as near
its capacity as at the present time. In
fact. new cars are often loaded with 10000
pounds of freight, 10000 pounds in excess
of capacity, so eager are shippers 10 place

this season of the year. Locally the roads
are handling the largest tonnage in their
history in a winter month Every Indian
apolis industry is apparently busy. Plat
forms at the city freight depots are crowd
ed with incoming and outgoing freights.
and bulk tracks are being utilized to an

Northumberland lines are doing a heavier
business than last year, which in a large
measure is due to heavier shipments of
coal and live stock. The fine weather for
this season of the year is another favor

good order, to haul their allotted tonnage.

The educational department had it's share
of work. There were thirteen subjects

given considerable space in the report.
This includes all the departments which
have been set out in detail for the seniors

nine months in the year, had total attend
ance of 1O96 members for thirty-two ses-
sions. In the gymnasium the juniors and

the work of former years, strong efforts
are being made, 1T is said, to eclipse it for
the year 1902
