He Has mot Abandoned Efforts to Sc
cure Seaboard Outlet.

George Gould is quoted as follows
plans to get an eastern outlet have
been abandoned. The connection be-
tween the Western Maryland at Cher
ry Run and the West Virginia Central
at Cumberland will certainly be built
There has been no agreement with the
Baltimore and Ohio for anything else.
The surveys have been completed.
II have no plans to come east from
Pittsburg across Pennsylvania. ! will
get line from GAINESVILLE, o., up the
Little Kanawha, and so on to Balti-
more. which is a very fine port TO"
export. The harbor there is excellent
and the charges light. In the earlier
days of the Baltimore & Ohio a great
commerce was done at Baltimore, and
| think it can be done again.
Asked if he did not intend to go
to Philadelphia, Mr.. Gould replied; j
will go over there and play polo first,
Within two years it is expected that
Gould trains, passenger and freight,
will be running regularly TO and from
Baltimore and the west and southwest.
The Gould system will then stretch
away unbroken from the Atlantic sea
board to Chicago, ST. Louis, Denver,
Salt Lake City, Galveston and El Paso.

The freight rates fixed by the Pine
Bluff and Western railroad are rtas.
enable and much lower than was ex-
pected, says the Sheridan Headlight.
In lots of less than 10000 pounds the
rates range from Is to 80 cents on the
hundred, according to the class of the
goods The business men of Sheri
dan can see more advantages of such
transportation facilities. 1t not only
on quick time, but at much less cost.
This advantage will undoubtedly reach
the consumer. This arrangement will
enable Pine Bluff to sell more goods
to Sheridan and will enable Sheridan
to sell more goods to the people. In
the meantime Sheridan will Improve.
1t will be better market for country
produce, which will cause the people
to take more interest in such pro-
ducts, also in the growth of fruits and
vegetables. 1t appears to the Head
light that the county Of Grant is bound
to improve under such conditions,
which never could have been realized
without these railroad facilities. We
are informed that the passenger fare
from Sheridan to Pine Bluff will be
about 81 less than half the cost Of
making the same trip by private con-
veyance.

ROCK ISLAND TO GULF
System is Securing an Entrance to
New Orleans.

Chicago, February 10.-Not only has
the Rock Island secured onehalf the
Southern PacificS interest in the HOuS-
ton & Texas Central, but it has been
learned from reliable authority that
it has purchased from e. n. Hartman
a one-half interest in the Houston and
East and West Texas railroad, which
runs from Houston to Shreveport and
a one-half interest in the Dallas and
Beaumont railroad, which, when COM
pleted, will give the Rock Island new
extension from Dallas to the BaumOnt
oil fields.
The Southern Pacific and Rock
Island each will have an undivided half
interest in these roads, and they will
be operated jointly by them. These
new acquisitions give the Rock Island
independent and direct lines from Chi
cago to Galveston, Beaumont and
Shreveport
1t is not improbable that the Rock
Island may extend the Houston and
Shreveport lines from Shreveport, La,
to New Orleans in order to enable it
to take business to both the leading
gulf ports.

Coroner Finds that Charles Eaton
Should Have Seen Signal i'm Time.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 22.-Another
chapter has been added to the recent wreck
of the Pennsylvania Seashore Limited at
Van Vert, i'm which the fast running and
prize winning Charles Eaton, engineer lost
his life. The train struck the open switch
shortly before o'clock in the afternoon
and the engine turned over on Eaton kill
ing him instantly. The verdict of Coroner
jackson, of Van Vert, just announced,
throws the blame on the engineer himself
for not seeing the semaphore signal show
ing an open switch. The coroner says he is
unable to find out who left the switch open,
but that it is easy to see the warning sema-
phore signal for a distance of a half to
three-quarters of a mile on clear day,
such as was the day of the accident. The
semaphore stood fourteen feet above the
track. Eatons friends cannot account for
his fatal failure to heed the plain warning.
The engine, which was brought in yester-
day, showed that the air had been put on,
the engine reversed and everything done to
check speed, but all in vain. The conduc-
tor and brakeman who were the last to use
the switch both deny that they left it open,
but they have been discharged. The con-
ductor had served faultlessly for twenty
two years and was next on the list for pro-
motion to q passenger train. He is greatly
depressed by his bad luck

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. Clubs are
springing into prominence and saloon
keepers, barroom attaches, well-known
gamblers and sports of all descriptions are
becoming ''clubmen." so 10 speak. To coun-
teract the demoralizing influence upon the
saloons caused by the order to obey the
Nicholson law to the letter, saloon keepers
are forming little clubs, and without a
view to money-making or to public exhibit
ton they are fixing up the rooms over
their respective places of business, and are
fitting up proper quarters for Sunday visi-

special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. PA general riot
was averted last night between union and
nonunion electricians by the prompt arrival
of the police. J. y. Deal, electrician for the
Terre Haute Electric Company, and brother
of E. c. Deal, superintendent of the COM
pany, and two assistants, both of whom
were nounion men, were engaged at late
hour last night stringing wires across Main
street for the street fair, which opens Mon
day. While thus engaged a number of
union men, it is claimed, interrupted them.
Deal says Cage McCommOn, union cleo
trician, struck him i'm the head with a
brick inflicting bad wound. general
miX-up then ensued, during which Deal
struck Uncommon on the head with pair
of lineman's connecters, inflicting deep
cash and making very painful wound. The
prompt arrival of officers stopped further
trouble. To-day a warrant was sworn out
against Uncommon charging him with as
sault and battery with intent to kill. and
several others will be ARRESTED on charges
of attempting to incite riot. Further
trouble is expected as the work of wiring
booths and stringing lights across the
streets progresses. Public sentiment is en-
tirely against those interfering with the
work, and this may prevent any further in
reference.
