Figures for 1905 by State Statis ticlan. A large Increase In the number of con victions in the criminal courts of the State in 1KC over ISO for violations of the liquor laws is shown by the figures of Joseph II. Stubbs, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, who has Just finished a compilation regarding the Work of the Cir cuit, Superior. Supreme and Appellate courts, in the State. In considering the criminal cases before the Circuit and Superior courts, the number of cases In which violations of the liquor laws are charged, and also the number of cases where convictions resulted, are noted.

The number of convictions for such violations In 1905 was 1.499, as against 876 In tha preceding year. The total number of cases of this sort filed was 2.7S3 in 1903. The corresponding figures for the previous year were not obtained. The number of convictions in liquor cases was In the face of a decrease in the total number of cases of all kinds disposed of from S.4 in 1904 to 6.347 in lSui The total number of criminal cases filed was S.C4 in and 9.5 io in 1345. The number dismissed was 4.Si6 and respectively; number of convictions for felonies, 1,111 and LITO respectively, and convictions for misdemeanors, 2.L54 and J.Wl respectively.

Turning to the civil business of the Circuit and Superior courts it is seen that the total number of cases disposed of is very murh less than during the year before, the numbers for l'A4 and UX5 being ZT.Cii and respectively. The number of the letters of guardianship is sued Increased from to 2,486 and the decrees of foreclosure from Son to 1,234. The" letters of administration Issued decreased from 6.1.15' to 6,112 and the number of persons declared of unsound mind decreased from l.loa to 9o7. Business of the Higher Courts. In the Appelate Court of the State for the years 1304 and 1S0S, respectively, the following figures are noted: Cases pend ing November 1, 727 and C77; cases filed during the year, 472 and I10; cases decided during the year, 203 and CiS.

Similar figures for the State Supreme Court are: Cases "pending November 243 and ICS; cases fled during the year, 25 and "ju cnae decided durim; the year. 70 1 and i i Another point of Interest with respect to these. figures is the showing as to the total cost of the maintenance of the courts. The total cost decreased, in the face of. an lncrcaso in the money paid by the State to the Judgea and prosecuting attorneys.

This increase is more than offset by the decrease in that part of the expense borne by th couniits, the pay of Jurors, bailiffs. criminals, and it is thought that this decrease is largely one in the matter cf hoarding prisoners. The work of the Hoard of State Charities in decreasing 'this ''county board bill" is thcuphi to have been effective. In the amount patd the prosecuting attorneys and the judcea by the State was 1.7. vk and in l'.

LX'XlCa. The amount paid bv the counties was J7W.CU.C3 in 1904 nnd f7U.T:l".4 In 1x0. making the total cost for the years 1XA and and Jl.C :7.4:S.i4, respectively. THIRD DEATH IN A MONTH. Sadness i the Family.

1 of QUIETER WEAKER TENDENCY III STOCKS MARKET GETTING BACK TO WARD HEALTHY NORMAL MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR NEW TORK, February li Henry Clews, banker. In reviewing; the financial conditions, says: A change Of sentiment la gradually creeping: over the stock mar ket. The feverish, irrational speculation which characterized December and Jan uary has subsided, and is giving place to a quieter, saner and somewhat weaker tendency. Technically, the market Is less strong because many large holders have sold considerable lines of stock, and tem porarily. at least, retired from the mar kct for the purpose of enjoytng a vacation.

If all accounts be true, the absentee list during the next few month is likely ho imiiaii.lfv lam. for the reason that a large number of operators have disposed of their surplus stock and are not in cllnMl to rvlnveat until Dllces reach suhntantlollv lower level.

Outside this area the productive territory is less well defined. The oil Is said to be about the same grade as that of the Ohio Indiana fleli somewhat better than that of Kansas.

It is selling for 6l cents a barrel. The wells are practically all pumping wells, and. while not individually larre rroducer9 the yield Is fair. I The average production of a grouo of twenty one wells last month was about twenty barrels each a day Individual companies operatine in the field have a I oil is sold to the Standard company. wWch nas pipelines north and south and ships mainly irom I Wlldcatting Going On.

The Geological Survey has taken up the Investigation 'of the gas and oil resources of th)J statCk and preparator7 to that work is making a map of the Westfield field. Mr. Lewis has been assigned to this work, but the survey is to have the assistance of Prof. W.

The serious study now being given to the oil resources of the State and the careful prospecting which is being carried out seem likely to develop con Biaerable amounts of gas and oil at i nnmhr of rnint BUOlUKr Ok POIQIS, BR UK STREETS IRVINGTuN Several Thorouahfares Mav be inv proved the Coming Summer. Several petitions for brick roadways In Irvington have been filed with the Board ru a tv. tvia of Public Works, and It looks aa If the suourD were going to seuie on oncK as a compromise in order to escape the rav ages of the war that is raging between the asphalt and the macadam companies.

It waa at first felt the thoroughfares, such aa Emerson, and Rltter avenues, should have brick, and some form of macadam would suit better the winding roadways lying between these streets. But the agents of the companies have made life a burden for property owners, and a good many of them are signing for brick oa the theory that while they would prefer some' other pavement if they felt sure it was good, they know that prick is a per manent street, and with the large lota and shaded streets they will not be noisy. particularly as the traffic Is light. Narrow roadways witn wide stretcnes or lawn are preferred where brick is proposed. On some of the streets there is demand for crushed gravel or stone rolled.

It Is probable there will be a great deal of street Improving in the suburb this sea son, and citizens on several of the streets are hoping that if the contracts are let at the same time, the benefits of a low price may be realized.

H. BLUNT. COUNCIL TO MEET NEXT YEAR The Rev. Harry Blunt pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, of this has returned from Dayton, where he has been attending the General Council of the Congregational, Methodist Protestant and United Brethren churches of the United States, represented by about 300 delegates. These denominations number rearly L125.000 members, the Congregational church membership being the largest Mr, 'Blunt was the only representative from Indianapolis.

"The work of the meeting." said Mr. Blunt, "progressed more rapidly than the delegates anticipated. It was supposed that the outcome of this gathering would be the appointment of committee to outline a provisional union, this plan to be presented at some future meeting. But the motion to proceed to organic union of the bodies was unanimously carried at the first session and a committee of sixty three appointed to draw up a basis of union of creed and polity and vested Interest. The remaining part of the session was the discussion and approval of this basis of union and at the closing session the reports on vested interest, creed and polity were unanimously approved.

Final Action, Within 18 Months. "But this la. not the final action. The General Council adjourned to meet with in a year and a half to complete this provisional arrangement and prepare plans for carrying this result of ths Coun cil down to various bodies which are to ratify this action. "The outcome waa really a surprise to the majority of the delegates the unanimity that was found and the read! ness to surrender all non essentials.

My opinion is that the result of this Council will be the organic union of these three denominations. The polity preserves the autonomy of the individual church, but the highest body shall be the national association of representative bodies, whose president shall preside and devote his entire time and attention to the churches during tne period of his incumbency. "Jurlsjs on the Committee. 'The committees were for the most part made up of clergymen, presidents of colleges, presidents of theological schools, bishops of the United Brethren church and some of the leading laymen. Among the latter are Judire Baldwin, of the Su preme Court of Connecticut, and Mr.

lr ales, a prominent lawyer or cnicago. "The matter or a came ror these united denominations is In the hands of a com' mission, and will be reported at the next session of the General Council. Amone the names suggested was the 'United but it waa not specially con sidered." ARBITERS MAY PASS Oii MANN THEATER PLANS BUILDING INSPECTOR IS INVES TIGATING THE LAW. OCCIDENTAL HOTEL CASE O. F.

Mann'a plans for a new theater. In South Illinois street probably will be submitted to a board of arbitration, to determine if they comply with the build ing ordinance. T. A. Wlnterrowd, build lng Inspector, has refused to approve the plans, for the reason that he does not regard the site as being a safe one for a theater, largely because it is an inside lot.

He has also raised other objections, The building ordinance provides that If the owner or architect of any building objects to the decision of the building Inspector, the matter shall be referred to a of three persons, one of whom shall be chosen by the inspector of buildings, one by the owner or other In terested person and the third shall be the chairman of the City Council committee on public safety and comfort. The de cision of these referees in writing, sub mitted to the Board of Publia Works, shall be final. Building Inspector Wlnterrowd Is Inves tigating the law on the subject, and says that if he finds that this method is regarded as legal he will abide bv it, or tne memoers or tne board of arbitra tion would be J. H. Hamlet, chairman of tne council committee.

Mann savs he is anxious to begin work, and has said that he will bring mandamus proceeding against the building Inspector, If necessary, to get a permit The Occidental Hotel. Attention has once more been "directed to the Occidental Hotel building, which was condemned 'in May, 1301. shortly after a part of It had burned. The own er, Henry Schnull, through representatives, received permission to use a part of the building for a year. When the time expired six 'months more of grace were given because of the owner's Illness.

In the meantime, he died, 'and although the extra time has expired, the board did not take any further action In the matter, as it was given to understand that the Question of putting up a new building On the Bite would be considered as soon as the estate had been settled. Building Inspector ft interrowd has been investigating the question and consulting the city attorney as to his authority in the matter. He says he will bring It be fore the. Board of Public Works as soon as possible. G.

BERLIN, February 12. Privy Councilors M. Hoff and F. Schwabach. whom the Prussian government sent to the United States In 1X1 to study American railroad systems, have Just published an exhau tive work on their findings which Is attracting much attention in the German press.

Herren Hoff and Schwabach make many striking comparisons of the American and Prussian railroads, often to the disadvantage of the former. They quote official statistics showing that for every million passengers carried the Americaa roads killed six times and wounded twenty nine times as many of them as the Prussian roads. The writers found that the average passenger rate in America was 103 cents a mile against .93 cents in Prussia, while freight rates nominally average cents per. ton per mile In the United States against 1.36 cents in Prussia, This comparison, the authors affirm, is fallacious because the American statistics include freight, carried for the railways themselves, while the Prussian statistics show only pay freight. On the other hand, the American statistics exclude high class goods carried by express companies, which class is included in the Prussian figures.

Furthermore, they say. the American roads receive immense sums for carrying the mails and the Prussian lines almost nothing. and besides the latter carry a volume of postal packages for which the American roads get large extra sums from the express companies. The original cost of construction of the Prussian lines was 63 per cent, higher per mile than that of the American roads. If conditions were equalized at all on these points, Herren Hoff and Schwabach figure that the American average for freight would be 1.44 cents per ton per mile and that of Prussia .96 cents.

PHILIPPINE RAILROADS. Solomon Vanderbilt Bid Accepted for Negros, Panay and Cebu, WASHINGTON, February 12. The bid of Solomon Cornelius Vanderbllt J. G. White all of New York; Charles M.

The lines on Negros and Panay will aggregate l'J miles each, and on Cebu nino fy nve miles.

Notes of Steam and Electric Lines. John W. Thomas, president of the Nashville, Chattanooga St, Louis railway, died at Nashville thla morning. A dispatch from Cincinnati states that M. E.

Ingalls, chairman of the Big Four railroad's executive committee. Intimates that the system will attempt to recover losses due to the recently enacted 2 cent fare law by a charge for baggage. Latest reports of railroad receipts show continued satisfactory conditions, and total gross earnings of all United States roads reporting for January are an Increase ot 16.8 per cent, over the corresponding month of 1305. It is estimated that the new 2 cent fare law In Ohio will save the people of that State $1,000,000 a year. This amount is almost equal to the sum of all taxes paid for the support of the State government by property owners and corporations.

In 1305 the Ohio roads earned from in round figures. 15 INDICTMENTS RETURNED Five Prisoners Plead Guilty in the Federal Court The January grand Jury made another report to Judse Alford. of the Criminal Court, this morning, returning fifteen Indictments.
