Mr.. IngalI. Has Not Resigned.

To a reporter of the New York CONNER
cial Mr.. NJ. Z. Ingalls, said, when in New
York last week. that he has not resigned,
nor has he any intention of doing so. This
developed at last Fridays meeting of
the directors of the Big Four Company, and
is also statement made by himself. The
story that he proposed to give up active
railroad life, as usual, had it's origin in Gin
cinnati, and is believed to have been sent
out by some individual who seems anxious
TO have some occasion to frequently put
out this false report
His identity is not known to Mr.. Ingalls,,
but as the rumor always comes from Gin
cinnati first, 1t is supposed TO emanate from
one source. 1t has been of much annoy
ance, and hereafter when ii is again started
from his home city without evidence of
authority from Mr.. ingalls, it will not be
entitled to the slightest attention.

The train records show considerable i'm

The Pennsylvania is still suffering from a
congestion of traffic at division points, but
is not in as bad shape as a month ago. All
indianapolis lines, however, are short OF
power and troubled to furnish cars to nam
die delayed freights, consequently new bus
mess is suffering seriously. Grain men are
anxious to get cars TO forward grain sold
weeks ago. Packers are unable to fill orders
with desired promptness. and all classes or
through freights are moving slowly. In
local business conditions are not so bad.
Finding it impossible to get through
freights to their destination, local officials
are taking a large per cent. of the empty
cars to load with freights where they know
they can be taken care Of and kept In serv-
ice. as thus far the per diem plan has
proved failure, and consignees must be
urged by traffic officials to induce them to
hasten the unloading Of cars. Another
drawback Is that connecting lines are re-
fusing TO allow their cars to leave their own
lines, SO careless are connections in return
ing them per diem and demurrage charges
being OF little Importance TO such connec-
tons. Coal continues one of the most i'm
portant features Of trafic. North and south
lines are handling their business with much
more promptness than are the east and
west lines, and their traffic Is heavier than
usual In the winter months. Large Quanti-
ties OF Southern lumber are now coming

WAS A SAD AFFAIR.
SUICIDE OF BERT KIDwELL AT
sHEPHEnDsrOwN
Left the Bedside OF Sick wife and
Was Not Seen Alive Afterward,


The suicide of f L. BERT Kidweil,
which occurred at Shepherdstown,
was one of the most unfortunate
tragedies that has happened in that
vicinity in a long time. Last Friday
baby girl was born to Mrs. Kidwell.
1t was their only child, they having
lost much-loved little one about two
years ago. Monday night about
O'Clock Mr.. K1dwell prepared some
mediclne for the baby. kissed his wife
good night, and left her room, APP
parently to retire. Tuesday morning
he failed to appear, nor was anything
seen of him during the day. 1T was
recalled that pistol shot had been
heard about 80 O'Clock a. m, and it
was feared that some misfortune had
befallen him. A search about the
place failed to give anv clue, but
his revolver was missing, and this
added to the anxiety. Wednesday a
systematic search was made for him.
and about the middle of the afternoon
his dead body was found under big
oak tree in the woods just south of
the house by Sam Turner, colored
man living on the place. He was clad
in shirt and trousers. and his feet had
slippers upon them. 1t was evident
that he had gone from his wife's
room straight to the woods to commit
the deed
