When the Commercial club meets this evening there will be routine business and the reports of committees to occupy the attention of he members. The most important report will be presented by the soliciting committee for the factory site fund of which Mr. W.

F. Graeter is chairman. This committee has been working steadily for about three weeks to raise a fund of about $20,000 for the rmrpose of purchasing about forty or fifty acres of the Rockhill farm for factory sites. The original proposition to purchase the entire farm had to be abandoned and work was begun on a scale. The committee on the new proposition started out to raise about $20,000 the major portion of this sum has been subscribed.

The committee will ask for further time to secure more subscriptions and if possible raise the entire amount. There will be two or three factory propositions or 'discussion. Owing to the absence of a number of business men from the city the arrangement committee on program for entertainment will have no speaker on a leading subject to-night. Judge R. S.

Taylor had been invited to talk on the money question. The cars of the Fort Wayne Southwestern will be running from the corner of Main and Harrison streets to Andrews on Saturday morning. This was the announcement made to-day by-General Manager Nelson when seen by the News reporter at his new offices, at the corner of Pearl and Harrison streets. The tracks are already laid down Pearl and on Harrison to Main and Columbia, and the at the Pearl street corner will be put in to-night. The trolley wires have been stretched to Main, and this morning the green express car made the first trip down Fairfield avenue and to Main.

The tracks through the city are not yet thoroughly ballasted, but Manager Nelson is pushing things rapidly and everything will be in good working order in a few days. The company has moved its offices from East Berry into the new building at the corner of Harrison and Pearl streets and the clerical forces are now at work, as are also the general manager and Mr. Bert Stevens, the auditor of the road. The room in which they are installed is a large and well lighted one, fronting on Harrison and with entrances also on Pearl. It is 107 feet long and twenty feet wide.

It will be divided up with partitions into separate offices. In front and back for some twenty feet will be the waiting 1 room for the passengers. Back of this will be the ticket office and the telegraph office, for Manager Nelson will have a telegraph line run in and an operator constantly on duty. Both these offices will have windows opening into the waiting room for the transaction of business. The waiting room will be provided with comfortable seats.

Back of the ticket and telegraph offices will come the general working room for the clerical force, and in the rear of this the private office of the general manager. The last room, a large one, will be used for the express office. Its entrance door leads to Pearl street. There will be a sidetrack constructed along the Pearl street line for the express business of the company. The new offices of the company will probably not be arranged as they intend to have them for some time, but they are completed the Southwestern will certainly have handsome quarters, not only for business, but for the passengers patronizing the line, for the waiting rooms will be the equal in comfort of any of the railroad waiting rooms of the city.

WRECK CREW CALLED. The wrecking crew of the Wabash was called from this city to the Detroit division during the night on account of a wreck which 'occurred near Montpelier, 0., mention of which is made in the telegraph columns today. INSTRUCTING THE MEN. The air brake car of the Pennsylvania road, with Captain Diehl in charge, arrived in the city at noon to-day and will remain here for a few weeks, being stationed near the car shops, east of Lafayette street. During- his sta3 here Captain Diehl will instruct the trainmen in regard to the operation of the air brakes for the fast trains which are to be put on next Sunday.

PREvSIDENT SLOCOM HERE. President John Slocum, of the International Association of blacksmiths, was in the city for a hours to-day and was met by quite a number of the members of the order here. He was on his way to Columbus, Ohio. GONE WEST ON BUSINESS. General Manager S.

R. Nelson, of day over the Wabash from Kankakee and the men were busy yesterday billing the The meeting of master mechanics which was to have been held in this city to-day, has been postponed indefinitely on account of the absence of Superintendent Crawford. The Vanderbilt special, consisting of three private cars, was hauled last week from Indianapolis to Cincinnati in two hours and forty minutes, stop; distance, 110 miles. The Missouri Pacific made a rate of $5 for the round trip between St. Louis and Kansas City, and the Wabash at once met it and gave notice that it will meet all such reductions.

John Gatzie has returned from Purdue, where he has been taking a course of engineering, for his summer vacation. He will be employed at the Wabash shops during the summer. Chief Shop Clerk J. H. Hobrock, of the Pittsburg shops, is the inventor of a machine for the destruction of cockroaches, SQ troublesome to lumber dealers, that is introduced and proving successful.

The most novel train service in the world is the system of fast express trains just inaugurated by the Philadelphia Reading between Philadelphia and New York, a train leaving both cities from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. every hour on the even hour.

On account of the rough crowds that get on at certain stations on Sundays on the Hocking Valley road, the officials have decided to discriminate against three of the stations where the men who take the train are noisy, boisterous and drunk, and will not stop at these stations. The Lake Erie Western has decided to postpone putting on an additional train between Indianapolis and Peru, being too short of equipment to do so. The company will soon receive nine new heavy freight engines and will then convert some of the lighter freight engines into passenger engines. A bulletin issued by the interstate commerce commission shows that during the three months ended Dec. 31 last there were 1,481 railroad collisions and 877 derailments in the United States, in which 274 persons were killed and 2,089 injured.

The damage to cars, engines and roadway by these accidents amounted to $2,075,091. Charles F. Daly, chief assistant general passenger agent of the Lake Shore, is elated over the prospects of the new Twentieth Century train that the Lake Shore and New York Central will put on Sunday between New York and Chicago. Every berth for the first trip has already been taken, and a number of berths for succeeding trips. President Ramsey of the Wabash, has received his new private car which is a model of beauty and solid comfort.

It was built in the St. Charles, shops of the American Car -and Foundry company. The exterior is painted the Wabash standard shade of Nile green and the car bears the simple identification, "No. 1." It is seventy feet long and weighs 24,000 pounds. The Carpenters' and Joiners' local HE THREW A MATCH.

ON MKS. GAZELY'S LITTLE BABY AND CAUSED A RIOT. A TRAMP ENTERS A SOUTH SIDE RESIDENCE AND STEALS--ANOTHER ROBBERY. Monday night Louis Kopp was arrested at his south side home on information from the Humane society on the charge, of using profane language. The hearing of the case was postponed yesterday, 'owing to the failure of the witnesses to appear.

This morning Kopp entered a plea of not guilty, but on the witness stand later admitted being guilty, but said he was sorry for what he had done. Mrs. Outline and Mrs. Gazely, both neighbors, were witnesses. They both stated that he had used profane language, but did not give the sensational feature of the case.

Kopp got on the stand himself and revealed this fact. It seems that Kopp was quarreling with his wife because she accused him of not looking for work and also of selling furniture in the house for drinks. During this excitement Kopp lighted his pipe. Mrs. Gazely was sitting at the end of the porch and Kopp says he did not see her.

He threw the lighted match away and it landed in Mrs. Gazely's lap. She was holding a 6-months-old baby at' the, time, and almost fainted from fright for fear that the clothing would catch fire. Her screams attracted her husband, and he gave Kopp a sound lecture. After hearing all of the evidence, Judge Dreibelbiss fined Kopp $3 and costs.

He went to jail. HIS POCKETS PICKED. Louis Daas, a Syrian, who resides at i'J Lafayette street and works at the Bass foundry, had 'his coat pockets picked at the Bass works yesterday morning. The sneak thief entered the wheel room and took $10 in cash and $8 in time checks from the coat and made away with it. Detective Coling is working on a clew.

He also took a 38-calibre revolver, a silver berry dish and a silver cake fork. Nothing else of value has been missed by the family. The police thus far have been unable to get a description of the fellow. Judging from the clothes he left, he must have been a veteran hobo. THEY HAD NO LIGHTS.
