OCTOBER EARNINGS LARGE
GROSS MAKE MORE FAVORABLE Ex-
HIBITs THAN DO NET RESULTS.
Heavy Demands for Facilities for
Moving Freighfs-EmpIoyes May
BE Given Increased Wages.

Railway earnings as they come In for
October show a large improvement in gross
over last year, every leading line, except
satisfactory exhibits. A railroad official
says the only limit to railway business at
this time is the capacity of the equipment,
and this state of affairs is likely to con-
tinue all winter. The movement for an ad-
vance In wages OF railway employees has be-
come general, and IL is expected they will
be conceded an increase which will be sat
strike and improve the situation. The pro-
posed advance will be pretty hesvy bur-
den for the roads, as 1t will be 21k TO per
cent The demands on the roads are always
heavy at this time of year, and car famines
are a matter of course, and at present large
industries are partially tied up through an
inadequacy Of rolling stock. In the last
few months many millions of dollars worth
OF locomotives and cars Of modern type and
larger carrying capacity have been added
to the equipment OF the leading lines, but it
Is probable there has never been time
when there was more freight to move and
more delay and inconvenience to shippers
than now, and there is little prospect OF
Improvement. The quantities of grain, cot
ton, live stock, dressed meats and produce
to be moved will increase for some time TO
come rather than diminish, and IL would
be thought this meant large earnings for
the railroads, but plethora of traffic is
not as profitable business which does
not exceed the capacity Of the transporta-
ton department.

The Marion county grand jury met yes
terday and was engaged in preparing it's
report and the indictments found during
the September term. Work on the October
term of court will begin as soon as the jail
cases of last term are disposed of and out
of the way. In the sessions now beginning
the jury will resume it's investigation of
the ghoul cases and also look into the meth
obs and objects of the Indianapolis Coal
Exchange. Judge Afford. ii is understood,
has secured enough information showing
an illegal combination of certain coal deal
ers to warrant his calling the attention of
the jury to 1t and instructing the prose-
cutor to bring the information before the
jury. The instructions of Judge Afford will
be given the jury this afternoon after the
investigation will probably be suggested
then.

Thomas r. Shipp, the affable young man
who acts as private secretary to Senator
A ]. Beverage. was busy at his desk YES

EAST CHICAGO WATER WORKS.
in the City to Appear be-
fore the Supreme Court.

E. w. Mickey and B. NJ Cheney. attor-
neys of East Chicago, Ind, are at the Eng
lish. Mr. Mickey is the attorney for the
city of East Chicago and both are here to
appear before the Supreme Court in the
case of the Lake County Water and Light
Company, plaintiff in error, VS.. r. d.
Walsh. This case has attracted much at
tention throughout the State on account
of the many questions involved regarding
the right of cities to contract for the erec-
ton of water and light plants when the
municipality is indebted beyond the con-
stitutional limit. A number of the officers
of the city were charged with having been
unduly influenced in the passage of a num-
Der of ordinances and franchises in relation
to the plants. The citizens revolted and
elected new officers, and the local courts
enjoined the payment of bonds and set
aside a transfer of the property, the Coun-
Gill; by a pretended sale, having sought TO
evade the decree of the Circuit Court Be
fore the matter was taken to the courts
the City Council had involved the CITY in
contracts and bonds aggregating a liability
or about S150,0O0 for water and light plants,
the agreed value of which is less than $780,,
The present officials are seeking to relieve
the city Of this load and retain title to
the plants, 1t being claimed ample COM
pensatlOn mas already been made.
Mr.. Mickey is a leading Republican of
Lake county, and reports that the men,
bers OF the party are highly pleased over
the results of the election, number of
townships having been carried that have
always been Democratic. He says that all
of the factories of that section are pros
porous and new ones are being erected.
The East Chicago harbor aid for which
was sought at the last session of the Legis-
lature, has been built by private capital,
and where there was nothing but a sandy
waste two years ago there is now a three
mlllion-dollar steel plant. the most modern
in the world, and hundreds of dwelling
houses. Attorney Mickey says that within
a few years East Chicago will be the lead
ing steel and iron producing center of the
United States. There are three large mills
there and others contemplated. 1t is be-
heved no other city of its size can boast of
such large pay rolls. Although only 1000
population Is claimed, the several industries
distribute about $4,000 a week among its
employees. Real estate is IN active demand
and its steady growth is assured

Edward F. Cost who on Nov. resigned
as freight traffic manager of the Big Four,

absolutely false. I count President ingalls,

bound to come about in time, even among
the best of friends. But stories such as

He Was Once Pastor of the Meridian
Street Church.
Word has been received from Chicago of
the serious illness of the Rev. James Hill,
senior member of the Indiana Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. DR..
Hill is now in his eighty-eighth year. He
was at one time pastor Of the Meridian
street NJ. Z. Church in this city,
Rev. James Hill was born in Baltimore,
Md, May TO- 1916 HfA father was a sue
cessful dry goods merchant in Baltimore as
well a farmer. In 1884 his father sold his
store and farm and moved to Indianapolis.
On arrival at Indianapolis DR.. Hill accepted
clerkship in the store of Isaac n. Phipps.
Two years later he formed partnership
with his brother John and opened a store
of general merchandise under the firm

fourteen miles from that city. In the fall
of 1884, when he was nineteen years old, he
was appointed leader of class in Wesley
Chapel by the Rev. Edward r. Ames latter
ward Bishop Ames), the newly-appointed
He was licensed to preach in the spring of
1888 by the quarterly conference of Wesley
Chapel Rev. Augustus Eddy being the pre-
siuing elder. He was admitted to the Indi-
ana Conference in the autumn of the same
year. In 1856 and 1857 he was pastor of
eSley Cnapel, now Mer1dtan-Street
Church. During the years 1862 to 1865 he
was presiding elder of the Indianapolis dis
trict. In 1873 he was transferred by Bishop

five years old. he retired from the active
work Of the pastorate. but continued to
preach as often as he was able in supply
ing pulpits in Chicago during the absence
of the city pastors. During the ffty-two
years of his active work as pastor he en-
joyed perfect health, and never at any time
had a vacation.
He became Republican upon the organi-
cation of that party, and always opposed
the institution of slavery on account of
its injustice and inhumaaity. His father
owned slaves in Baltimore but upon his

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
BUSINESS Is GOOD, WITH PRICES
STEADY AND STRONG.
Cooler weather Helps Mary Lines
The Canned Goods Situation
Grain Market Conditions.

With the cessation of the rain and the
coming of cooler weather. yesterday. trade
became quite active. Dry goods houses had
a good squirt, as did the boot and shoe
houses The indications of an advance in
prices of wooden goods is an ihcentiye to
business in that line. especially as goods
are very scarce. Groceries are unchanged,
with an excellent volume of business. Cof-
fee is firm. but no higher. and sugar holds
it's own, request being active for the sea-
son. Imported navy beans are n9w dividing
the trade with domestic. and the market is
easier, although quotations still range
above normal. Canned tomatoes have
shown some inclination toward easier con-
ditions. but packs are known to be so short
as to make 1T altogether improbable any de-
cline in values will prevail. and dealers are
really looking for higher prices. Canned
corn is steady, with demand active Fruits
and vegetables are moving fairly well. APP
pies are plentiful and prices. except on
choice fruit, are easier as there Is an
abundance of inferior fruit. Complaint is
made OF the packing, few choice apples
being placed on top and at the bottom OF
the barrel. while through the naiddle there
is poor stock. The produce market is some
what unsettled. Butter and poultry are
easier at the revision of Wednesday. Eggs
are scarce and tending higher for strictly
fresh. The hide market is much the same
as for some time past-prices easy in tone
and receipts liberal. Leather IL steady at
unchanged prices. With the near approach
of the holidays confectioners are quite
busy, as are dealers in fancy notions. and
all look for a good trade from now until the
holidays. Concord grapes are easier. There
are lighter offerings of grapes this year
than last season, and prices have ruled
much higher than those Of year ago, and
this has reduced consumption. Buyers have
not taken hold with customary avidity. and
receipts have begun to accumulate. Gran
berries are In good condition. and are free
sellers at prices that have rot changed
this week.

interchangeable Mileage.

The reason the interchangeable mileage
question was not settled at the meeting
in New York last week was that the New
York Central. the West Shore, the Philadel-
phia & Reading and the Jersey Central
asked that it be deferred in order to give
them time to study the plans agreed upon
by the subcommittee of the seven roads.
1t has been repeatedly said ever since this
subject was taken up, that the four roads
named would not go into the scheme, but
1t looks now as If they might plan a way
to do so. 1t Is stated however, that If they
do not the roads that formulated the plan
will adopt it and put 1t in operation for
themselves.
