Should the Craig interline ticket, which is
to be experimental with by the Southern
Pacific, and of which samples have been
supplied to passenger officials of number
of other roads. prove the success expected.
its adoption will probably be decided upon.
1t means economy in both time and ex-
pense, lightens materially the labor of the
ticket agent and greatly curtails the in
convenience and annoyance to which
travellers are subjected. The principle upon
which this ticket Is based is a judicious
combination In one ticket of many routes
composed of an equal number of lines
Three forms now under trial cover ninety
roads; inasmuch as smaller lines can be
included with larger and stronger lines
there will be dead tickets, since all
tickets can be used over the stronger lines

TRIAL OF DIR. ALEXANDER
DIR. f. ID. MOFFETT SAYS HIS HEALTH
Is STILL PRECARIOIS.
Delays. However. Are Becoming Irk-
some TO the Court Ofiicials-Other
Court News.

1t is expected that the trial of DR.. Jo-
seph c. Alexander on the charge of taking
and concealing a human corpse will be
continued again from the date set at the
last continuance, Jan. II. Alexander was
excused from trial in December because of
an indisposition. and his physician, DR..
Frank A. Morrison. stated that he was un-
able to appear in court. Rumors that AL
exander was still too i'll to face the trial
caused his physician to be summoned be-
fore Judge Afford in the Criminal Court
yesterday morning DR.. Morrison is out of
the city, but DR.. E. d. Moffett succeeded
him as attendant upon Dr. Alexander. DR..
Moffett appeared in court yesterday, and
stated in chambers to Judge Afford that
his patient was much too i'll to be brought
out into the air. He described DR.. Alex
ander's symptoms. and said that his illness
was a kind of typhoid fever. which was
aggravating to the patient but not serious.
DR.. Morrison will return TO Indianapolis
to-day, and a subpoena will be issued from
the Criminal Court directing him to appear
before Special Judge John NJ. Bailey and
testify to his patients condition.
The delays in the trial of Alexander are
becoming irksome to the prosecutor and
vexatious to the court. Alexander has been
excused from trial twice. and much ex-
pense has been borne by the county in
the summoning of jurors, and other incl
dentals. The indictments against him
stand. and the court officials are beginning
to think that his attorneys should allow
the trial to proceed. 1t was suggested at
the time of the first continuance that either
DR.. Mott or DR.. Wright, similarly charged
and whose indictments have grown out of
the same investigation. be brought to trial
on the indictments against them. Jan. II
was set as the trial day for these cases, but
the States attorneys concluded that the
trial of Alexander first was preferable, and
decided to follow that plan.
DR.. Molt has applied for change of
venue from Judge Afford. His attorneys
state that a fair trial is necessary for his
release from the charge of being accessory
to the ghoulish work, and Judge Afford
has become too conversant with the facts
in the case to be able to judge the trial in
that manner. 1t is not known who will be
appointed by Judge Afford to fill his place.
and 1t is not likely that Special Judge Bal
ley, in the Alexander case, will be ap-
pointed by Judge Afford should he grant
the change of venue.

GAMBLERS ARRESTED.
Information Furnished by John A.
Reagan, Who Alleged Ill Treatment.

On a warrant sworn out by John A.
Reagan, Edward Biser, keeper of a saloon
at No. is South Delaware street, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Sergeant
Giblin on the charge of keeping gambling
house. Three other men were also ar
rested charged with visiting. Reagan in his
complaint said that he in company with
a friend called at Bisers saloon last Sun
day. While they were inside some one sug-
gested that the two men go upstairs and
play game of poker. Reagan said he
went upstairs and played, and for a time
was ahead of the game. When he had
won about &2 and large pile of checks
lay in front of him he made known his
desire to quit
Instantly, he alleges, the men sitting
around the table jumped up and demanded
that he continue playing. He jumped back
toward the wall, with the men after him.
He alleges that BiSer was the leader of the
men and that several times he threatened
to beat him. Reagan also said that Biser
caught hold of him and asked him to ac-
company him to the rear of the yard,
where they &C ID fight. Reagan said he
was astounded at the action of the men,
and was afraid they would carry out their
threats and do him bodily harm.
Reagan, after he left Biser's place. went
to the police station, where he told his
story TO Captain Kruger. The latter told
him to Prosecutor Holmes and have
warrants issued for the arrest of all the
men whom he knew to be implicated i'm the
affair. Reagan appeared at the police sta
ton yesterday morning, according to Kru-
gers orders The warrants were placed in
the hands of Sergeant Gibin yesterday aft
ernoon at o'clock. The men were taken
to the police station and slated. but were
Immediately released on cash bond. The
men charged with visiting a gambling house
gave their names as Martin PIERCE, George
Roberts and Morris Dare.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
WEEK STARTS OFF WITH PROMISE
OF A GOOD BUSINESS.
Prices Are Steady, Demand L. Good
and Travelling Statesmen Are Out In
FOrce-Grain Markets.

The week opened in very satisfactory
manner. A large number of travelling sales
men i'm all lines of trade left on the morn
ing and noon trains yesterday to begin the
years business. There were unusually rev
changes among the travelling salesmen'
hundreds of whom leave Indianapolis In
this vocation. But little change in prices
was noted. Hog products are weak at yes
terday's reductions and it is believed VIII
go still lower, as the price of hogs is fall
ing steadily. In groceries there were no
important changes. During the last year
fluctuations in values of staple groceries
were very slight and prices are as reason
able as at any time in the year travelling
statesmen of the confectionery houses VIII
devote most of their time for several days
to come to collecting the bills OF last year.
This line of trade differs from most others.
for the reason that there are so many small
buyers. Iron and steel market show
little more activity than for the last two
or three weeks. Prices are unchanged and
bid fair to remain the same for some time
to come. The produce market continues
firm. Poultry is in light supply. and while
such conditions exist will hardly be any
lower. Eggs, with the more wintry wealth
er are coming i'm slowly and prices are firm
at quotations, but no higher than for the
last thirty days. Receipts Of butter are
liberal, but prices we'll maintained.
Flour is active, but prices are steady. Dry
goods houses are through taking account
of stock and are ready for business. Their
travelling statesmen now begin to sell spring
and summer goods. In this line prices also
have been remarkably steady for many
months.
A commission merchant yesterday, in
speaking of the conditions of trade In their
line, said Business on Commission row
heavy holdings of storage apples are con-
sidered present values are high enough.
Fancy apples, as predicted, are doing bet
ter, and will continue doing so. Ordinary
fruit Is not selling any better or bringing
any more money than it did three months
ago, when purchases were made OF the
farmers. The future outlook for potatoes
is not very promising. Holdings In Michi-
gan and Wisconsin are heavy and fully
equal to supply the Western demand
Onions, If large, are doing some better.
Considerable poor stock is coming on the
market, which will have a tendency to
keep prices down. The cabbage market is
unchanged. The crop in the East is heavy
and were it not for little scarcity of cars
dealers would often be selling at loss. As
it is they can occasionally take advantage
of light receipts. In California fruits there
is practically no change

want to shut Out the wabash.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court. in the
case of the city of Pittsburg VS.. the Pitts
burg, Carnegie & Western Railroad Com
pany, has reversed the decision of the
Pittsburg courts which held that a rail-
road company has a legal right TO extend
its lines between any points in the State.
The Supreme Courts decision affects the
railroad situation in Pittsburg arising from
the attempt of the Gould system to enter
that city and thereby secure a line to the
seaboard. The Supreme Court reversed the
lower court on constitutional grounds. and
granted an injunction prohibiting the ex-
tension of the Pittsburg, Carnegie & Wes-
tern Railroad. 1t Is understood the ex-
tension was intended to permit the entry
into Pittsburg of the Wabash Railroad

the Supreme Court gave the final decision
started a year and half ago. The Wabash
was at that time preparing TO build the
great piers for its 100000 bridge over the
Monongahela river. Under the contention
that the Wabash was unlawfully obstruct-
ing the wharf the city of Pittsburg entered
suit for injunction. Judge McClung refused
even temporary injunction. For year

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Decision I'm the Russian Sugar Case In
Favor of the Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sin an opinion
handed down by Justice Brown to-day the
United States Supreme Court decides in
the Downs case that the money paid by
the Russian government on sugar exported
is bounty and that the collector of Gus
toms at Baltimore was justified in levying
countervaling duty on Russian sugar un-
der the terms of the Dingley law. The
main argument of the petitioner was adj
dressed to the proposition that the bounty
is paid not upon expectation, but upon
production. The answer to this, the deci-
sion says, is that every bounty on exporta-
ton must to certain extent operate as
bounty upon production, since nothing can
be exported which is not produced and
since bounty upon expectation by Gre
ating foreign demand stimulates an in
creased production to the extent of such de-
mand. Consequently a bounty upon pro-
duction operates to a certain extent as a
bounty upon expectation, since 1t opens to
the manufacturer a foreign market for his
merchandise produced in excess of the de-
mand at home Where regulations ex-
empt sugar exported from excise taxation
altogether we think they clearly fall within
the definition of an indirect bounty upon
expectation.

erty, and should be classed as such. The

by Justice McKenna, and affirmed the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals.
The case of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company VS.. the Borough of New
Hope, Pa, was decided in favor of the
town. The case involved the validity of an
ordinance requiring a license fee for tele-
graph wires and poles i'm the town.
Jutsice Holmes to-day delivered the first
opinion promulgated by him as a member
of that court. The case was that of Otis
Gassman VS. Z. Parker, and involved the
question as to whether the State constitu-
ton of California prohibiting dealings in
margins in stocks contravenes the Consti-
tuition of the United States. The decision
of the California courts which sustains the
constitution prohibiting such dealings is
confirmed. Justices Brewer and Peckham
dissented.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the SUBJ
stitutiOn of the name of Admiral Henry c..
Taylor for that of Admiral Sampson in the

Sampson in behalf of himself and other
officers and sailors who participated in the

Among the decisions by the Court of
Claims to-day were a number in cases
brought by officers of the navy under the
naval personnel act of March 8. 1899. The
opinions rendered by the court passed on a
number of questions of interest to the navy.
Chief Justice Knott dissented from his

REBUILDING THEL. E. 4 W.
LINE GREATLY IMPROVED SINCE
PURCHASE BY LAKE SHORE.
New Form of Railway Ticket which
Promises Acknowledgement of New
Power for the Panhandle.

The annual report of the Lake Erie &
Western has been issued. and 1t shows that
it has cost &c per cent. of the gross earn
ings to operate the line, whereas under
former management only 90 per cent of the
gross receipts were used in operating the
property. The company operates some sS7
miles of road, has 145 locomotives, IS pas
senger cars and about 5000 freight cars,
and is steadily increasing its equipment
OF course, the large increase in operating
the road over the Brice management is due
to the extensive Improvement since the
Lake Shore took control which will be
three years in February lext. During that
time $50 miles of seventy-fve-pound steel
rail has been laid, completing the line from
Sandusky to Templeton, Ind, meantime 200
miles of the road has been reballasted
heavily with gravel; on the Fort Wayne
division. in addition to the 200 miles of main
line, and from Kokomo to indianapolis like
improvements have been made A number
of new steel bridges have been put in in
place of wooden structures, and every
bridge on the line brought up to standard
which will permit running the heaviest
engines over the main line. Four hundred
thousand cross ties have been put under
the tracks, new brick and stone depots
erected at Lafayette and Upton, valua-
BILE ice plant constructed. at Upton, ard
many minor improvements all of which go
to swell the cost of operating the road
The indebtedness of the road has not been
increased through making the improve
ments, they being paid for out of the net
earnings. The company is planning to con-
tinue the Improvement work through 1903,
expecting at the close of the year that the
en- Nv
and from Indianapolis TO Michigan City
and Fort Wayne TO Connersville will have
a track up to the standard OF the best road
crossing Indiana. Meantime the company
is purchasing additional power to handle
its rapidly increasing passenger and freight
traffic.
