AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Freight Truffle Falls OCT a XJtUe. The train record for the weekending Nov. 16 ahovr that 571 fewer loaded cars "Were received and forwarded at Indianapolis than in tne week preceding. This decrease in traffic, however, is not for want of bnines, but for lack of cars. The Big Four would have more than made up this febortagb but for the temporary freieht blockade at Cincinnati, whicb. the early part of the week, owing to bad weather, increased rather than decreased. In fact, several hundred cars are now held here and at other points on the line awaiting the clearin jupof the delayed business at the Cincinnati terminal. The east-bound movement of loaded cars shows a handsome increase over any week for some months past. The Biff Four forwarded out of here over the Cleveland division 1.C0G loaded cars; the Pennsylvania, l.OCte; the Vandalia brought in from tho west 1,403 loaded cars, and the other lines show equally favorable exhibits of east-bound business. West-bound the tonnage shows something of a falling off. as compared with the week preceding, bnt is still heavier than at the corresponding period in 1SS8. North-and-south roads continueto do an excellent business in both directions. Usually business with the north'and-60uth lines in November falls off sharply, but this year seems to bo an exception, at least thus far. Local business is seldom heavier. In-bound shipments of apples, potatoes and, in fact, produce of all kinds, are Heavy, and a considerable per ceut. of this business is forwarded to other ?oints by local dealers without breaking ulk. The hog crop is beginning to move briskly, and the live-stock movement, local, through and export buiue8. is heavy beyond precedent. iSeveral of the roads are handling a tcood deal of coal. The Terre llautn Indianapolis isnguin bringing in a train-load or more a day from the Clay county mines, and tho shipments over the Indianapolis &. Vinrenues road are large. There is some anthracite coal and consider abln coke coming west, but the tonnage is not as heavy as in former years for this immediate territory. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending Nov. 10. as compared with tho corresponding week of

To-day the Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michigan will open another division northward tor business. This division strikes six important points in northern Michigan. . II. B. Hammond, president of the Indianapolis. Decatur fc Western road, who was expected West last week, was detained by sickness. As soon as able, he will start westward. . T. C. M. Schindler. assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw, will, until further notice, look after the duties of tho late H. K.Johnston, deceased. Business over the Belt road last week was the heaviest in any week since it was opened. There were transferred 15,100 cars, against 11.477 in the corresponding week of 1888; increase this year, 3,029 cars. Live-stock traflic continues to improve. Last week there were handled by Belt road engines 1.552 car-loads of cattle and hogs, against 1.2t4 car-loads in the corresponding week of 1SSS; increase this year, 25S8 cars. The Adams Express Company has made arrangement a to establish another line between Louisville aud St. Louis when the Mac key syndicate opeu their new St. Louis line, running to St. Louis via Evansville. A. W. Street, late assistant general freight agent of the Toledo, St. Louis 3t Kansas City road, will to-day take the position of commercial agent of the Missouri Pacific, with headquarters at Kansas City. Tho Pennsylvania Company has issned a geiural order to its agents to arrest any aud all boys caught in the dangerous practice of jumping on and off of traius when in motion. The company is determined to put a stop to it. Edwin Hill has been appointed real estate ageut of the Dayton & Union road, in addition to performing the same duties ou the Big Four system. Mr. Hill was formerly real estate agent of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western road. The Vandalia will be in the market after the first of the year for live nrsl -class passenger engines. The wtady increase in the pasheuKer tratnr over this road is one of the surprises and forces the company to in crease us power lor la&t service. The duties of D. M. Calkins, general baggage agent of the Big Four, have been increased to cover the Cairo division, and on tho lirst of January, it is understood, the baggage department of the Ohio, Indiana & Western will be put under his control. The Ohio Southern Railroad Company has hied for record copies of a mortgage in favor of the Ceutral Trust Company, of Sow York, for $2,b00.000. The money thus raised is to bo used in paying off its floating debt and betterments to the property. Shippers and business men of Mnncie arex muth di5atitied with the schedule on' which trains of the Cleveland division of the Big Four are operated, and there is a loud call for a time-c ard closely approximating the schedule in use previous to the consolidation. The last iaue of London Engineering contains a fine illustration of the No. 11000 Baldwin engine, which was the largest ever built at these works. The comments of Engineering regardiug th'i locomotive aro very complimentary to American locomotive-works. Judge Burke's suit against the Columbns X. Hocking Valley Railroad Company, which was to hae come up for a hearing last week, has been postponed until next April. His judgment is lor $200,100. It is believed that the matter will be arbitrated before the time set lor its hearing. As a result of tho recent meeting in Cincinnati. Southern tourists rates have been considerablv reduced, as compared with last year. For iuatance, the rate from Chicago to Jacksonville, Fla., is SuV.75, against $11.00 last year, and toother point the samo proportion in reduction is carried out. B. H. Jackson, formerly representing the freight department of tho Big Four at Chicago, has been appointed general Northwestern freight ajjent of the company, with headquarters at Omaha, Neb. This is the first time that the- Big Four people have made a direct effort for businees in that territory. There is a rumor current in railroad circles to the effect that on the first of next month the Big Four will commence to run it passenger trains from St. Aune to Chicago over the Chicago dc Eastern Illinois road. Careful inquiry failed to confirm the report, althongh it is said it emanated from high authority. Tho presidents of the tr nnk lines will meet ou Tnesday to discuss the proposition to advauce corn rates to the East, It has leaked out that both the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania have contracts out based on 20 cents a hundred from Chicago to New York, which will probably prevent an immediate advance. Nathan Guilford, general traffic manager of the New York Central road, has returned from an extended Western trip, occupying two weeks. It is stated by u Butlalo paper that he will not accept the position of commissioner of theTrnuk-line Association, preferring bis present positiou, notwithstanding the. largersalary thecoiumi8siouerehip commands. A movement is on foot to form a car association here. the object of which is to see that cars are loaded ami unloaded promptly w-hen placed in portion on private switches, or on the switches of the companics. The andalia ami the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago are tho only roads which are notdipo4el to go into the movement, which means the enforcement of tho rule that iiijjcn and conduces must load

or nnload cars in forty-eight honrs or pay 91 a day penalt. The Chicago &, Eastern Illinois road has for some months been enforcing this rule, and it has enabled it, at Chicago, to take off two switching engines and crews and to considerably reduce expenses at that point in other ways. It is said that the Louisville, New Albany k Chicago people hava gone eo far as to make arrangements for the money to build a road from a point on their main line between Salem and Bloominirton to Indianapolis. Two lines have been laid out, and ttie one most feasible to build over, after the surveys have been completed, will be selected. . President Blackstone andhis subordinate officials put in last week in looking. the property over, and returned to their headquarters on Saturday, convinced that the Chicago & Alton was second to none as a railroad property, and with its new traffic agreement with the Kansas City division of the Uuion Pacitic. it bids fair to become even a more valuable railroad interest. On the Vandalia's St. Joe extension from South Bend to St Joe there will be four uood towns at which neat, commodious stations are to be built at once. In fact, the material is on the ground to bnild them. The track-lavers on Saturday, at noon, had bnt twelve miles and one-half

more track to lay, and unless the weather become too cold they will have it all down by the middle of next month. A rumor, with apparently good fonnda tion. states that the Delaware, Lackawanna Jk Western people will bnild a line from Butlalo to Detroit, and, in connection with the Wabash, form another important through line between the West and New York city. This company, which is very wealthy and amply able to carry out this scheme, has been agitating the matter for years, and it now seems to be taking delinite shape. Receiver Malott credits a large per cent, of the increase shown of late in the earnings of the Chicago & Atlantic road to the fact that they have been looking closely alter their local business. Since he took hold of the road several miles of side-track have been laid, reaching to mauufacturiug establishments. Five grain elevators have been arected on the line, and sidings run in to them, and a general effort has been madn to accommodate tho business men located on the line, which strikes several good towns in northern Indiana. LETTEKS TO THE EDITOR. lllch-School Hall. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal The members of the City School Board are as likely to make mistakes as other people, but the public should, and do. I suppose, consider tbat'thcy give a good deal of time and care to the management of school affairs without compensation, other than the common measure of benefit that comes to all. When the musical festival of last year desired High-school Hall for rehearsals it was nnanimously granted by the board. The members of the board, alike with other citizens, I think, appreciate the value of these festivals to a community. They and their families have shown that appreciation by contributing their services to the chorus aud their patronage otherwise; but their special devotion in city educational matters is due to the best possible use of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in'trusted to them for public education under the laws of the State. At present the school buildings are crowded. A large class in free-hand drawing has no other room than High-school Hall for their studies and work. The hall is occupied by their easels and the subjects of their sketches. The latter, when suitably placed, with the lights and shadows upon them, for sketching or drawing, must remain there sometimes for a week or two to be completed. If removed they are rarely ever gotteu in the same position for completion. When so disturbed it has caused the loss of a full day to replace them, indifferently, even. It has frequently occurred that the work of partly-buished drawings and sketches were required to be abandoned, because the subject of them could not be rightly replaced for the finish. In view of these things the members of the board have regretted that tbev could not accommodate the very laudable work of the festival managers. There is no room in all the schools of the city which miuht not more readily, and with far less hindrance to the school work, be given up than Hitfh-school Hall. And so the hoard considered that either the large drawingclass would have to cease their work or the festival chorus would have to find another room. No one who will tatce the pains to look into the matter, and consider the per fectly nnnelhsh and uncompensated time riven the school interests by the board. will characterize as "mere excuse" the rea sons given for its action. John B. Conner. Indian .vro lis, Nov. 1G. lie Is Worthy to lie a Senator. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal; I note your editorial comments on the dispatch alluding to the probable selection of a former resident of our State Hon. William C. Hill, as United States Senator from the new State of Washington, and. while coinciding in your views on tho al mighty dollar in politics and the millionaire senatorial aspirants now looming npin divers States, beg to suggest that, in the case or Air. mil, wnom I nave Known per sonally all his life, being a native of the same town, something more than the "millionaire." "barT' or dollar" Question has moved the people of the new State to name him for the exalted position. Among these reasons so moving them are: First He is probably the most enereetio and public-spirited resident of the new and v si . r - -.as woimeriuuy progressive city oi oeauie, actively engaged in every enterprise tending to advance the place, and especially since the destruction by tire has endeared himself to his fellow-citizens by bis earnest euorts in assisting its rebuilding. Second iot only are his movements benefiting the locality above named, but he iseni;&ed in enterprises of vast moment to the whole State of Washington, ami thus has gained the gratitude of its people, who desire to otter him the senatorial position as a tribnte to hi worth and business fitness for the same. Third He is now about forty-five years of age, has always been of a studious turn of mi ink a classical scholar, well informed on the current literature of the day ns well as our system of government and general history; be is a man of good practical sense, withal, aud his rise from comparative poverty to affluence by honorable and legitimate means within the past twenty years is proof of his extraordinary business talent, a talent, by the way, which, combined with other qualifications, eminently tit him for the important position the people of Washington desire him placed in. Three cheers for Hill and all other Hoosiers on the Pacitic slope. j. r. j. IDIA'AroLI?, 2?ov. 10. Small-Minded Women. Waahlngton Post. ' There is an impression abroad that the whole of the time of the W. C. T. U. convention at Chicago was taken up in discussing the famous Shoreham bar. This does not seem to have been the case, for we find Mrs. Mcllarris reported as saying in the course of her speech, "it is a matter of great importance with ns whether we allow young ladies dressed in a white costume and frills to speak before ns," and to give foi nt to her remarks she added, t hat young ady who spoke last night wore corsets, and the W. C. 1. U. has declared against them." If this association of well-meaning women propose seriously to wage war ou white costumes, frills and corsets, they have undertaken a task in comparison with which the suppression of the Sboreham bar is the merest trifle. It Was All Us Had. Kansas City Journal. "Mr. Cleveland," said Mr. Dt pew. recently, "is not a very great man, but be has riven the Democratic party the first bright idea it Jhas had in twenty-five years." Parting with that idea, however, proved too much for Mr. Cleveland. He might have fared better if he had kept it to himself. Gaining WImIoiu with Age. Washington Press. The decline of free-trado sentiment in New South Wales is attracting attention as one of tho most significant of current change. At a near date it is believed that New South Wales is reasonably certain to adopt a protection policy like that in force in Victoria. f?EM a two-eent stamp to Dr. J. C. Aver A- r'.

SEW PUBLICATIONS. A literary controversy has arisen in connection with the publication of "The Life Work of the Author of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.1 " by FlorineT. McCray. It seems that a few years ago Mrs. Stowe gave Mrs. McCray full permission to write this book, and furnished valuable assistance, as did her son. Rev. Charles E. Stowe. and vari

ous other members ot tne btowe nuu Beecher familieH. Mrs. McCrav enioveu Mrs. Stowe's full confidence until the latters.J failing health rendered her t whimsic.tl nnd canned her to withdraw hr aimroval of Mrs. MrCray's work. About the same time Mrs. Stowe's sou de termined to write il life of li is mother, ana Erobably that had something to do with er change of niind. The result is two lives aud a controversy between xne authors. Mrs. McCray's book is not strictly a biography, but rather a sketch of Harriet Beecher Stowe's literary career, with an outline of each of her works, including a commentary and criticism ou them, and such facts and incidents as led np to their preparation and resulted from their publication. It also contains a digest of opinions ly eminent reviewers; an account of Mrs. Stowe's travels, ovations, methods of work. Cersonal appearance, and immense sale ot er works; and also the bitter opposition aroused by the publication of her honest convictions especially by the hea'V blow sbe dealt against slavery in "uucie loins Cabin," and her telling denunciation a of high-toned corruption in her vindication of Lady Bvron. It is exceedingly well written, and is a comprehensive narrative of Mrs. Stowe's life work. Illustrated, heavy paper, ornamental cloth binding, $12. Kew York: Funk & Wagnalls; Indianapolis: Bowen Merrill Company. The Viking Age." by Paul B. Dn Chailln, is a book full of curious information, served in attractive style. It treats of the early history, manners and customs of the ancestors of tho English-speaking nations, and is illustrated from the antiquities discovered in mounds, cairns and bogs, as well as from the ancient Sagas and Eddas. The work is the product of many years of incessant labor in the collection nnd arrangement of facts which throw a flood of liht upon the character of the progenitors of the Englishspeaking race. Heceut researches have made it clear that those Northmen who, at the decadence of tho Homan empire, overran and settled in Britain aud the northern coast of Germany and France, were not barbarians, as has long been erroneously supposed, but a most highly-civilized anil aneompnsliea people. Vast quantities of objects, including arms and armor, gold and silver ornaments-of the most skillful workmanship aud refined beauty; woodcarving, filigree work, agricultural and domestic implements, magnificent carriages, etc.. have been unearthed. But. besides these material testimonies in the greatness of these Northmen, we have tho literary and historic records of the Sagas and Eddas. and by testing the evidence of one with the other we can obtain a wonderfully vivid idea of the manners, customs, laws, traditions and domestic life of a by cone age.
