GOOD SPURT IN BUSINESS IN SEW
ERAL LEADING LINES.
Outlook Good for the Coming Season
Low Prices for Fruits and Negeta-
bles-Active Grain Markets.

During the present week there seems TO
have been a revival in business, and in
several lines trade is very satisfactory.
The wholesale grocers are having an ex-
excellent business and prices on all staple
articles rule firm at quotations. The old
stock of canned goods is about exhausted
and the wholesale houses will be in good
conditions TO receive the new pack, which
will soon begin to come in. The drug
gists are doing good business. Linseed
oil went off sharply and sells raw at Gle
a gallon, with boiled at COO. The flour
market is quite active at a revision Of
prices which represent the wholesale mar
ket. On Commission row a good trade is
in progress. Fruits and vegetables are
selling at prices that enable the humble
to enjoy the products of the season. Poul-
tray and eggs are still in the luxury list
ranging higher than in any former sea-
son In late July. Butter is an active
mover, but prices easier, although not
quotably lower; but 10 bring the highest

improvement is reported WIKI the seed
merchants, the dry goods houses, the mill
liners or the boot and shoe merchants The

kets has passed over and business is re-
ported much improved during the present

NEWS OF LOCAL COURTS
EDWARD #. FORD DESIRES POSSES
SION OF PROPERTY.
Peculiar Story Told in His Complaint
Suit Filed by Receiver
Other Matters.

Edward F. Ford yesterday brought suit
against Michael Ford, sr., Hannah Ford
his wife, Mary H. Perryman and Edgar A
Perryman, her husband, for the possession
of property and the specific performance or
an agreement The plaintiff is the son OF
Michael Ford. ST. July s. 1898. his father
executed his note TO him for $1,000, payable
in one day, and at the same time gave him
his property the plaintiff says, with the
understanding that it would be decided to
him. The complaint sets out that the home
was mortgaged for 500 and that Edward
had been paying the taxes, interest on the
mortgage and had been caring for the old
people up to the date of the execution of
the note. In all he says he spent $500, and
after the property was turned over TO him
spent an additional sum of $500 on improve
ments. He says his father, mother and
sister Mary, now Mrs. Perryman, lived in
the home after he took control of it and all
went well until he got married. He says
came jealous of his wife and made il so
unpleasant for her that he had to take her
to another place to live and left them in
possession of the property.
1t is alleged that Michael Ford, ST., was
induced to deed the pOrperty 10 his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Perryman. for the purpose of pre-
venting execution on the property in the
event a suit should be brought on the note.
Edward asks that the conveyance be set
aside, that the agreement regarding the
property be complied with and that the
title be quoted.

EXPRESS COMPANY TAXES
JUDGE JOHN III. BAKER GIVES DECI-
SION IN A CASE.
The American Express Company Loses
in Its Suit Against Auditor
w. Ill. Hart.

In the suit of the American Express Com
to prevent the auditor from certifying to
county auditors the valuation of the COM
pany's mileage and property in the State
according to figures of the State Tax Board
has been decided by Judge John II. Baker,
of the United States Court, the court hold
ing against the plaintiff.
In a memorandum the court gives its
views on the question, sustaining the tax
law passed by the Legislature of 1893. The
company contended that the tax board
fixed an unfair valuation, failing to take
into consideration the great territory COW
cred by the company in transacting its
business. The court holds that the question
of excess route mileage both within and
without the State of Indiana Is question
for the exclusive determination of the State
Board of Tax Commissioners, and in the
absence Of fraud its determination is con-
elusive. AS there was no charge of fraud
in this case The court holds that il could
not retry the question no matter now
erroneous the determination OF the board
may have been. The error of the board.
If any" the court holds was an error OF
judgment. unmiXed with fraud, in making
an excessive valuation of the express COM
pany's route in this State The court
finds that the state board is given jurisdic-
ton to hear and determine these questions,
and its determination cannot be set aside
in the absence of fraud which is not
charged
The taxes in the controversy amount to
about $4,000 which the state auditor may
certify to the county auditors in the event
the express company should not take the
case to the Court of Appeals.

GIANTS In HOSTILE ARRAY
SWEEPING CHANGES IN THE TRANS
FORMATION SITUATION.
Railroad and Financial Men Inter
forts to Reach the Seaboard.

George ]. Gould has dehed all presidents
by seeking for an outlet for the Wabash
to the seaboard. getting control of the
Western Maryland being the first move
which has created such a turmoil in the
railroad world. The Philadelphia Inquirer
devotes several columns 10 a history of the
origin and probable outcome of the fight
between the giant moneyed interests in
volved. 1t says: THE parties to the con-
test the surface are George ]. Gould.
representing the Wabash interests and A.
j. Cassatt. representing the Pennsylvania.
Ii is evident, however that interests even
more far reaching than the mighty ones
conferred in these great railway properties
are involved, and the struggle, if it comes
in earnest, Will see ranged on one side or
the other nearly all the great railway and
banking interests of the country.
Mr.. Gould is believed to have the back
ing of Mr.. Hartman, representing the
nion-Central-Southern Pacific interests,
together with the National City Bank, of
New York and the Standard Oil interests.
These include financiers as prominent as
any in New York outside of j. Pierpont
Morgan & Co. With Mr.. Cassatt is believed
and probably Morgan G. Co. 1t should be
remembered, however, that In this contest
the Pennsylvania will have the support
of the Baltimore & Ohio. which it controls,
and perhaps owns; the Chesapeake &, Ohio,
in which it has a large interest; the Norfolk
& Western, also under its control, and per
haps the Reading, which, il is believed is
now passing into the hands of the Balti-
more * Ohio which would give it over
TO the Pennsylvania. 1t is difficult to es-
innate exactly either the mileage or CAPT
talization of these two groups of interests
because there are so many ramiications
in railroad policy and because there may
| be changes before the contest is ended
1.-The Gould interests do not represent a
mileage as large this nor a capitalization
so great, except is represented by the
parties in interest but the latter include
strong financial powers that in the aggre-
gate might figure up almost as much the
other. though in the matter of strategic
position they are not so strong as the Penn
sylvania allied powers.
1T would affect the whole present sys-
/ tenn of railway control and would involve
immense banking interests, which are be-
coming the controlling factors in railway
management. If the fight comes there
would be plenty of money and brains OF
each side, and no one can say what would
/ be the outcome

In the days half forgotten she and ],
Barefooted innOcents, played together;
rolled in the dust when the earth was dry,
And made mud pies in the soggy weather;
We climbed the trees in the deep old wood,
And shook the walnuts in rafting showers:
Picked grapes and plums for our monday food,
And thought IL heaven that life or ours.
With never a tear to dim our eyes.
With never a cloud to blur our skies.
We talked OF the days when we'd ''growed up
We'd be man and wife in our coy cottage:
We would sip OF bliss from its sweetest cup
And eat from the love dish OF pOttage.
She cook me meals that a god would eat.
While l would hustle for golden sheckels.
Though terribly spangled with nut-brown
freckles-
And our eyes would meet and souls would
seem
To mingle in loves first childish dream.
AS the years passed on and we older grew.
An6 were chums in the same great coed col
lege.
In the resting spells in our search for knowl-
edge:
But she grew less 'chummy." less full OF PLAY
Into staid "Paulyne" grew the simple Polly
A thoughtfuI essay upon the folly
or girls assuming the role Of wife
Instead Of nooler sphere in life.
I meet her now on the busy street
OF the capital Colorado city.
4 cold. proud. dame. with the face once sweet.
Now hardened by politics oh. the pity!
The light OF affection never plays
In the eyes I used 70 think 50 cunning
But with hatred they seem 10 fairly blaze
When they meet with mine. for we now are
running
And we never speak as we pass by

PULLMAN CAR COMPANY.
Its Representative before the State
Tax COmmis toner's.

L. E. Mcpherson, representing the Pull
man Car Company appeared yesterday
morning before the members of the State
Board of Tax Commissioners in the interest
of his corporation. While Mr.. Mcpherson
said he did not care to ask any reductions
from the estimate placed on the company 5
property last year by the Tax Board, he
thought the estimate in Indiana was little
high. He claimed that the company had not
lost any money, but it's sleeping car bust
ness was not earning as much money as II
did in former years. He also gave snort
statement showing how the company has
been carrying on it's business since It's IN
corporation in 1881. He said the company Is
appraised at S115 a mile, and he thinks this
is a little high, but in view of the fact that
another year will elapse before the board
will make any appraisement or the real es-
tate he thought the company would be Will
Ing that no change be made.
The Illinois Central was represented by

The members closed their doors yesterday
afternoon and went into executive session.
No representative of any corporation was
heard.

STUMPH TELLS A STORY
HE SAYS A DAIRYMAN OFFERED
HIM FIVE DOLLARS.
Prosecution Advised by sanitarian
BuehIer-Committee Meeting-Other
Municipal Affairs.

Mix Inspector Stumph will ask affi-
davit against Dairyman Sam Healing for
attempted bribery. Stumph is the milk in
spector of the Board of Health. Yester-
day he visited the farm of Healing and in-
spected several cans of milk. According to
Stumph's story Healing, who is partially
deaf, called him to one side and offered
him a s. bill. Stumph protested that he
was paid by the city and could accept no
money. Healing according to Stumph. said
he knew that but that was no reason why
Stumph should talk so loud that everyone
could hear him.
Stumph related the incident to City San
itarian Buehler last night and he advised
the prosecution of Healing for attempted
bribery.
The Board OF Health is preparing Itself
for the purpose of proving by chemical au-
thorities that milk, TO be pure, must have
at least per cent. of butter fat in it. This
theory will be the basis of the prosecution
of the milk dealers now before the Police
Court and will be supported by expert tes-
timony.
