and molasses are easier. There Is as yet

mission row there is considerable business
in progress. and prices fiuctuate but little.
Quotations on potatoes are unchanged The

Mondays on breakfast bacon, pure lard and

Alleged Determination.

Representatives of the Pittsburg Plate
Glass Company testified before the Inter-
state-commerce Commission yesterday in
substantiation of the charges that the rail-
roads discriminating against American
manufacturers in their import and domestic
freight tariffs. John Pitcairn, president
j. NJ. Belville, general freight agent, and
w. w. Heroy, New York agent of the
company. submitted comparative state
ments, showing among other things that
plate glass can be transported from Ant
werp, Belgium. to Minneapolis. Mimi. at
% cents per hundred pounds less than from
other inland cities showed similar wide
variations In import and domestic rates
in favor of the former.
Mr.. Beville said that within the past
four years it has been possible to ship
plate glass or any size In carload lots from
Antwerp to Chicago for 43. 80 cents per hun
dred pounds, although the domestic rate
from Philadelphia TO Chicago is 81 cents
and from Antwerp to East st. Louis for
1911 cents per hundred pounds, against a
domestic rate of AZ cents from Philadelphia
TO East st. Louis. A statement was sub
mitted showing in detail the rates in 1902
on plate glass over eighty united inches in
dimension from Antwerp to various cities
and the rates to the same cities on domestic
shipments. showing foreign rates TO be
from TO cents lower than domestic rates.
The witnesses testified that nothing was
known positively to the ocean. proper
ton of the rates on plate glass but it was
understood generally to be 10 cents per
hundred pounds. From this figure they
made deductions to show what they be-
lieved the domestic rates should be. The
hearing was then closed.

1t is stated that the anti-pass agreement
of the trunk lines has been broken, and
that 1t will be officially declared off during
the next two weeks. The Erie is said TO be
the immediate offender. having sent higher
railroad officials of connecting lines compli-
mentary passes from the railroads of the
East. The passes are issued on account of
no railroad, but merely marked "compli-
mentary." How far this list has gone is
not stated. There are no instances on rec
ord where these have been given to the So
licitors of Western lines, but it is known
that in preparation for such a break the
railroads of the East have made out a
ready for distribution, the Lackawanna be-
ing the first. II is stated. TO take such a
step The Erie. firing of the subterfuges
and lack of faith and feeling the burden
of the action of the Western lines decided
to clear the atmosphere and have the mat
ter over with. says the Cleveland Leader,
which states that within the last two DAYS
the Erie has issued all of its passes. and
they have come without restrictions in any
way. whereas heretofore they have been
confined to territory east of Salamanca.
The break has been expected. but those
who looked for IL did not expect IL so early

general IL would remove the biggest burden
that the travelling solicitors have had i'm
posed upon them since the community of

Advance in Price of Coal.

The Indianapolis Coal Exchange has de-
cided that the exigencies of the situation
demand that the prices of coal be elevated
another notch. Pocahontas smokeless coal
has been advanced to $50 and Brazil block
is now quoted at $4.75, and there is a gen.
eral advance of 25 cents on other coal and
coke. and 80 cents on slack other than In
diana slack. There is practically no an
thracite coal in the city and the only
dealer who was quoting actual delivery
price on this coal yesterday was the Gar
stang Fuel Company, which had some nut
anthracite at S12 a ton This is the top
notch for anthracite in this city.
Members of the Coal Exchange who have
no anthracite were quoting ii yesterday
al 50 and $3.50 ton. The dealers say that
there is plenty of anthracite coal en- route
to Indianapolis and that 1t is up to the
railroads to relieve the famine.

High Court Decision.

The Appellate Court yesterday decided
the contest between the heirs of Henry d.
Myers in favor of the children by his first
marriage. Myers's estate consisted of $4,000,
which his widow recovered as damages for
his death while he was working for Scho-
field & Teagle. The Administrative petit
toned the court for an order to divide the
estate among her three children and her
self, ignoring the children by Myers's first
wife.
The children's stepmother did not men
ton either of them in the damage suit
from which was recovered the $500, but
brought the action only for the benefit of
herself and three children. The court held
that the son, because of his minority, and
the daughter, on account of her affiction,
should share equally with the younger chill
dren the estate that remains after paying
expenses and giving the widow her portion.
Other children more than twenty-one years
of age by the first wife were held to be in
no way entitled to share of the estate,
as the father was under no obligation to
support them in the event that he had
lived

Quand Meme.

When my hour strikes,
And ny dislikes and likes,
Hatrecs and many loves,
Like fl0cks of weary doves,
Fold all their FURNISHED wings,
And passing out of things
L am no more
Ev'n at that hour.
OH let my splendid dover
or JOY and light
Rise up before my sight.
Mocking the flushing skies,
Paling the paradise
To which those souls aspire
Who on this earth here higher
Scared never more.
Nor. looking back.
Shall | cry: VOL alack!
Gentle the hand that led,
And light upon my head
The weight of life,
Much bliss and little strife,
Remembering this,
on the lips death shall kiss,
Smiling the while.
Shall rest an answering smile
FCreVermore.
But not too late
Reach me, oh, call of Fate,
While my heart still can beat.
While my feet still are fleet
Walking loye's ways.
While my voice still can praise,
Into the night
Call me where glad daylight
Pierccs no more.
And-one more boom
Let IL be late or soon
When IL Is done
Let IL be done: no sun
Rise on another land.
But the graves icy band
Hold me. securely keep.
That j may only sleep.
Sleep evermore.
