RAILWAY NEWS.
Current Items in Bailroad Cirolea—Local and Gen*raL
James Gatldorf, traveling engineer of the I. & St. L. was in the city yesterday. Th# Vandalia received and forwarded 444 loads at this point Monday.
Fred Ellison has been appointed stock and claim agent of the Vandalia line, including the Logansport divieion, the appointment to take place to-day. His headquarters will be in this city. Mr. E. for a number of years held a similar position on the I. & St. L. in which be gave satisfaction. Of late he has been soliciting agent for the Vandalia.
Indianapolis Journal: The Watson Manufacturing Company (Bightwood), Springfield, Mass., have just completed couple of passenger trains for the Indianapolis & Evansville Straight Line. The passenger coaches, four in number, combination cars, two in number, are painted a pea green, and parties who have seen tbem say that they present a very neat and handsome appearance, and at the same time strike a person as being odd and Hervey-like.
Indianapolis Journal: Anew railroad from Logansport to Grand Traverse, Mich., will be surveyed soon. This will be virtually an extension of the Terre Haute & Logansport division of the Vandalia, and will open connection between the coal fields of Clay county and the pine forests of the North. That such a road would be a paying one no one will doubt who will study the map a little, and consider the heavy coal and lumber traffic which the road would doubtless do.
REDUCED HOURS ON THE VANDALIA. Rumor has been rife during several days past concerning the wholesale discharge of the Vandalia shopmen at this point. The working force in the yards and on the western division have beenr educed, which led to the origin of this report. The wholesale discharge did not take place, but commencing with to-day, the working hours will be reduced from nine to eight. This is necessitated by the slight freight traffic of the present time, which cauBcd a reduction of expenses.
Superintendent Hill, of the Vandalia was in Indianapolis yesterday, and will be here to-day.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31,1882. Springer, from the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, offered a resolution calling on the Postmaster General for all correspondence in the department relative to the necessity of mail weighing on the. Trunk lines of railroad between New York and Chicago adopted.
The House than resumed consideration of the resolution reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, requesting the President to obtain a list of American citizens confined in English prisons. After an animated and meaningless discussion the resolution was adopted.
The Speaker stated the regular ordGr to be the question of the'reference of the joint resolution introduced soma weeks ago by Robeson, of New Jersey, to declare certain lands heretofore granted to railroad companies forfeited to the United States, and to restore the same to the public domain, and open the same to settlers.
Robeson stated that since he had introduced that measure several bills of much the same purport had been introduced and referred to the Committee on the Pacific Railroads. He had discovered that in the attached schedule he had not included all the railroads, though each had been his intention. He therefore withdrew his resolution, and introduced in lieu of it a resolution which applied to all the railroads except the Pacific railroads, in relation to which bills had already been introduced.
After some debate as to whether Robeson had a right to modify his resolution, the Speaker held that he had, and the resolution was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The House then went Uito Committee of the Whole, Browne, of Indiana, in the chair, on the public calendar, Toe first bill on the calendar was one authorizing the Government to accept the title to certain lands in Erie, Pa., and to establish a home forindigent soldiers and sailors. After considerable discussion the committee, without action rose, the annual post route bill wu reported and passed, and the House adjourned.
Explosion ol Uasometer. NEWARK, N.J .January 31.—The gasometer of the Citizens' Gas Company, containing 100,000 feet of gas, exploded to-night, tearing tha top of the gasometer to pieces and scattering the debris about the street. No one was injured, snd no property adjoining damaged. It seems that the iron cylinder covering the gasometer had become tilted by the weight of the snow and ice upon it, and by the force of the wind, until the chains holding it in place broke, and the top of the gasometer struck against the brick sides of the tank, producing a spark. An explosion followed the flames leaped 200 feet into the air, and in an instant the whole city was lit by the blaze. In a second more the whole northern part of the city was in darkness. The loss is estimated at $25,000. The explosion leaves all the city above Morris canal in darkness.

W0MAH
8UFFRAGE.
Cinralar of the Indiana W. 8. AtaociaUon. The three days' convention of the N.
W.
S.
A.,
beginning January 18, at Wash
ington, D. C., was largely attended and the woman question in all its phases was discussed by eminent speakers. The set addresses were, "The Moral Force of Woman Suffrage/' by Mrs. Matilda Joslyn Gage "Our Demand in the Light of Evolution," by Rev. Frederic A Hinckley The Moral Effect of Woman Suffrage on the Nation," by Mrs. Elizabeth Lisle Sixon "The Wrongs of Disfranchisement," by Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake "The Gddea Rule," by Mrs. Harriet R. Shattuck "The Women of the Nation vs. Licensed Vices," by Mrs. Helen M. Gougar "Woman's Function in the State," by Mrs. May Wright Sewall "The Power of Veto," by Mrs. Martha McClellan Brown, and -'Evolution," by Mra. Clara B. Colby. Other speakers were Mrs. E Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Misi Phoebe Couzins, Mrs. H. H. Robinson, Mrs. Belva A. Lock wood, and Mrs. Alexina S. Maxwell.
A letter to the convention from Caroline A. Biggs, editor of the Woman's Magazine, of England, stated that English and Scotch women were allowed to vote in the municipal elections, and in one place seventy out of the seventy-two qualified women voted. Miss Anthony remarked: "This is an answer to the assertion that women do not want to vote. There is an idea that it is only the coarse, vulgar, woman who wants the right of suffrage, but this is cot so. In England the^beat ladies in the land vote. Woman suffrage is not an experiment, as seen by this letter, and in tbis country they have the suffrage in twelve States on the school question." .Miss Couzins, in a terse speech relative to woman suffrage in Utah, said: "The task of dealing fairly and justly with this territorisi complication should never be committed to the blundering legislation of man alone. His success as a legislator and executive for woman in the past does not inspire a confidence that in this most serious problem he will be any the less an unbiased judge and law giver. This government of men permitted the establishment of a religious colony, socalled, whose basis of faith was the complete humiliation of woman recognized the system by appointing its chief, Brigham Young, as the Governor of the territory, under whose fostering care polygamy grew to its present proportions. That woman has not thrown off the yoke of religious despotism can be readily appreciated when we recognize that man, from time immemorial, has played upon woman's religious faith to exalt bis own attributes and degrade hers. Suffrage in Utah has accomplished great good. Outside of their religious conviction, the women are emphatic in their condemnation of wrong. Their votes banished the liquor saloon."
On Friday the Senate select committee on the rights of women gave a hearing to a large delegation from the convention. Speeches were made by Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Shattuck, of Massachusetts Mrs. Gougar, of Indiana Mrs. Saxon, of Louisiana Mrs. Colby, ot Nebraska, and Miss Authony, of New York. Miss Anthony Baid she had bright, new recruits as speakers in order to disprove the allegation that "it was always the same old set." On the following day the committee with a cumber of Senators and.Representatives, who desired light on the subject, listened to Matilda JoBlyn Gage, Lillie Deveroux Blake, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Sewall.of Iodianapolis,and Isabella Beecher Hooker.
The progressive women of Kentucky have been laboring with their Legislature to secure the removal of sundry disabilities. Having to cont«nd with great indifference and opposition they sent for Mrs. Marv E. Haggart, of Indiana, to come over and help them. Accordingly she visited Frankfort January 24. Ia the afternoon a conference was held with a House Committee upon a msrried woman's property bill. This bill had passed the Senate, and the ladies, axsisted by Mra. Hsggart, urged that it be favorably reported by the committee. Its provisions enabled married women to own, manage and convey their real and personal property, to make eontracts, to sue and to be sued.
In the evening Mrs. Haggart addressed a mass meeting, all the State dignitaries, Senators, Represenatives, Judges, attorneys and ministers, with their wives and sisters were there. The hall of Representatives which is capacious, was jammed, and crowds were turned away. Of the lectuie and its effects, the Frankfort correspondent of the Louisville, CourierJournal said: "Brought into close contact with the crowd by the jam in the hall, her every impulse and feeling appeared to pass out into every one of her hearers, and it was almost as one body and that body for the time animated by one soul—that of the intellectual, graceful, noble-minded woman addressing tbeiu. "She made plain the injustice and inconsistency of our laws showed that as a logical sequence from the principles of our government and from principles of justice and humanity, woman suffrage must follow. She ehowed such familiarity with the philosophy of government and law that many of our xtatesmen and Judges and lawyers saw they had a master mind before them, and you could at once see how deeply they were interested. Coming there strangers to the speaker, certainly without sympathy with her or her cause, all were transported for the time, and many, after she had finished and round after round of applause bad ceased, came forward and told her that they were converts to the cause and would work for it in the future. Perhaps a doz-m members of the House and more than one of our State officials told her they would never more say a word against woman suffrage, and expected hereafter to work for it."
Probably there were never aa many conversions made at a Stogie suffrage meeting as at this. Women who had come to the lecture, thinking that thry had all the rights they wanted, waited in groups after the lecture, and refused to go until they had an opportunity to thank Mrs. Haggart, and to tender their allegience and services to the cause. The enthusiasm of (he meeting crystalliz into practical work the next day. The following bills urged, and in large m«ature drafted by the noman suffragist*, ware introduced in the House: To confer upon the wife iqual right to her infant children with tbe husband authorizing the employmsat of women physicians in tbe charitable inntituiions of this State: providing for a constitutional amendment granting women the right to practice law in the courts of the Commonwealth requiring that women be paid tbe same w«g«a ss tafn for th* same work iu all public institutions conferring upon women the right of elector* in certaio cases.
No attempt will be made to urge the conferring of general suffrage to women at this se'sion, but the above bills will br, prested, and tfceie is now strong hope ol their success. The pas-a^e of the married wonaan'i) act is believed to be assured.
In addition, Wocxan Suffrage society was organized in Frankfort by Mrs. Mary B. Clay with a Urge membership.

fldentifio Notes.
Prof. Bastian has found unmistakable evidence io the beliefs of tha people of the Sandwich Islands and of New Zealand regarding the origin of the universe ana tlie genealogy of their deities that these people must at some very remote period have shared some way or another the higher culture of the natives of Asia.
A number of researches on the ripening of cheese bave been made by Drs. Musso and Menozzi and Signor JBignamini. They find that the quantity of true albumen suffers little change during the process, but the double compounds, of albumen with calcium phosphate are decomposed, yielding peptones and amides. Lactose undergoes both the mucous and alcoholic fermentation.
At the geological congress held in Bologna the precise meaning to be given to words used in descriptive geology was determined, and a common scale of colors for geological maps was adopted. It was also resolved to prepare and issue a geological map of Europe on a large scale, at a cost oi $12,500, to meet which the government of Europe are expected to contribute. The next congress will meet in Berlin in 1884, when Dr. E. Beyrich will be president.
The persistent sea-foam, which sometimes rolls in large masses to a considerable distance inland when the wind blows toward, the shore, is not 'thought by Mr, H. Gladstone to be due to the destruction of seaweed. What laboratory experiments he made have seemed to show that the weed which is tossed about by every tide plays but a small if any part in the formation of such foam. He ascribes it rather to tho presence of the luminaria, which is uprooted and torn by the waves only when the violent agitation of the sea reaches a sufficient depth.
It is expected that the municipal commission appointed by the authorities of Paris to report on the practicability of electricity as a motor for passenger trains in cities will recommend the experiment of an elevated railroad with electric locomotives in some part of the French capital. The Siemens-Halskie trial at the exhibition was an almost unqualified success, and has had the effect of inducing the commissioners to regard the new mode of transit very favorably. If the French do construct an elevated railroad in Paris, they will show the world how to make it not only useful, safe, almost noiseless, and quite smokeless, but ornamental as well.
The statement of a hatter, published some time ago, to the effect that the size of men's heads is diminishing, has awakened some inquiry. Prof. Fowler does not find evidence enough to warrant the conclusion. Mr. Hyde Clarke comes to the support of the assertion in this way: Infant mortality from birth to 2 years, and again from 2 to 7 years, can be shown to have increased of late. "This being so," Mr. Clarke: argues, "the result is inevitable that many of tbe weaker infants who in a by-gone day did not survive are now saved and their survival means the survival of so many weaklings. It appears to me that this is going on in the United States and in many parts of Europe. The question of degeneracy under sanitary influence is well worthy of attention and investigation."
Unless the fossil remains of the tropical regions of the globe afford the means to bridge over the vast gap which separates man from the living anthropoi}is, Dr. G. Fritsch holds that the Darwinian theory of the descent of man is an unwarrantable assumption incapable of strict scientific demonstration. It is somewhere in the tropics, he thinks, that man was developed. But, as he states, that advance may have been made on some continent now submerged, and, if so, the proof of the question is impossible. Dr. Fritsch is evidently in close sympathy with Darwin, and he is unwilling that any stone should be left unturned before abandoning the hypothesis of the descent of man. He advocates, therefore, strongly, in a a paper read before the Berlin "Geographical society, an intimate cooperation of geography and anthropology.
Agricultural.
The annual average corn produced in the United States in the past ten years is 1,184,486,954 bushels number of acres planted, 43,741,331 value, $504,571,048 average yield per acre, 27 bushels average price, 43.9 cents average value per acre, $11.77.
The latest estimates of tho wheat yield of the United States for 1881 are between 350,000,000 and 400,000,000 bushels, which would have been considered a very largo crop a few years ago, though from 75,000,000 to 125,000,000 short of last year's crop.
The premiums of $20 and $10 offered by Silas Pierce, of Boston, for the best acre or half acre of corn raised in Scituate were awarded to John Doby. of '"Egypt," who raised 92 bushels to the aero, and Charles O. Ellms, of Greenbush, who obtained 91 bushels.
Dr. Chapin and D. C. Vestal have been experimenting with tho various remedies for the insect plague on fruit trees. They find that petroleum, or kerosene and lye, are the two most reliable, and in fact the only exterminating agencies that can be profitably u%ed, and that, while destroying the bur, actually invigorate the trees.
Miinure should be forked over occasionally t'» niake it fine. If it is heating then niqek or loam should be mixed with it to absorb the amount which is formed daring the proeesi of decomposition. Sprinkling the manure pile with ground plaster is advisable. The plaster will absorb any ammonia which es-enpe-j from the pile and save it for the use of growing plants. Ammonia is too valuable an element of plant food to allow it to be wasted. Again, upon some land plaster is a valuable fertilizer.
An agricultural writer savs that skim milk being really the life-sustnining and most valuable part of the milk, will not always bo wasted, as it is at present. It will be utiliz -d as human food and acquire an increased value, and this, while it enhances the income of the producer, cannot fail to have a bearing on other dairy products. Considerable advances have already been made in this direction. Tho enormous waste of flesh-forming food through this channel is becoming appreciated and will not long be tolerated. Some way will be devised to turn it to better account.
Potatoes aie expensive food—that is to say comparatively. A bushel of potatoes (sixty pounds) contains neuriy flf pounds of water and only about ten pounds of solid nutriment, which is mainly st:ircb. At present wholesale prices here this is nearly 10 cents a pound for the f»od they yield. Fair wheat flour, at $8 a barrel, is only 4 cents a pound. Corn ht 80 cents a bushel (fifty-six pounds) has nearly fifty pounds of nutriment, costing less than
2
oents a pound. Taking the
country altogether, and the prices of potatoes, corn, wheat, etc., high and low, from year to year, the average nutritious food obtained in the form of potatoes costs four or five times as much as it does in the consumption of corn or bean=. and two and one-half to four times as much as in the form of wheat flour, or oat meal. rice. etc.
Industrial Brevities.
A large number o' ponds in the eastern states are being stocked with carp.
The Lebanon (17. Y.) Shakers hare engaged in a new branch of industry. They have converted a swampy pieca of land on the top of the mountain into a profitable cranberry-bed, and harvested last fall over eighty bushels of marketable fruit.
Short-horns are fetching higher prices in Australia than in England. A bull, which was sold out of the Barkeley castle herd at Lord Fitzhardinge's sale about two years ago for 600 guineas for exportation, has just fetched ever 2,000 guineas.
Sensational reports are in circulation to the effect that glycerine is poisonous when injected in the veins. It is reported that a frog is killed if three drops of glycerine are added to its blood. It is true, however, that air and water are poisonous when injected into the veins.
Prof. Hough, who was sent to Europe by the -commissioner of agriculture to investigate the management of forestry in Europe, has returned and will make a recommendation to congress for the planting, preservation, and maintenance of forests on the prairie and desert lands of the United States.
Electric lighting is attended with its peculiar dangers. At the recent exhibition of electric lamps in Paris a visitor leaned over a balustrade in such away as to bring his watch-chain into contact with two exposed wires. Thus a connection was formed between them, and so fierce a current passed through the chain that it became red hot and set fire to his waistcoat. In several cases wires too light for the current have heated and set adjacent woodwork on fire. Persons have received severe Bhock3 by touching wires. But all these dangers can easily be obviated, it is said.
According to the last report of the commissioner of agriculture, there are 7,000,000 persons the United States engaged in agricultural pursuits. The total value of farms and farm implements is $13,361,200,433, or two-thirds of the productive wealth of the nation. The value of farm products and live stock for 1878 was $3,000,000,000, against $2,800,000,000 of mining and manufacturing products. From this it appears that a majority of the adult male population is engaged in agriculture, and more than one-half the wealth of the nation is invested in that industry.
Says E. M. Shelton, professor of Kansas Agricultural college: "In the fall of 1879 I prepared along sack, which was filled with exactly 5KX) pounds of wheat. Here the sack remained exactly six months, when it was taken up and again weighed, this second weighing showing a slight fraction over 200} pounds as the weight of tbe sack of grain. This seems to show that wheat does not shrink in the bin. I have just now finished a repetition of this experiment, giving almost precisely the same results as those detailed above."
The extent of the oyster trade of BSltimore, which is the great center of the oyster-packing business, is shown by some remarkable figures. During tbe years 1879 and 1880, 9545 vessels brought 7,252,972 bushels ol oysters, besides 25,000 bushels brought by steamers. Of thb number 2,796,353 bushels were packed raw, and 1,689,939 bushels cooked and hermetically sealed. The total amount of capital invested is $7,606,976, and the wages earned are $6,956,444. Some places along the shore of Maryland are built upon oyster shells, and in the lower part of the state oysters pass current as money.
Pine Measurements-
A Wilmington
Star
reporter has been
shown at a machine-shop in that city a collection of gauges. "How accurate are these?" was asked of the foreman of the department. ''They are true to within the tenthousandth part of an inch, in a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit" waa the reply. "Did you ever feel the ten-thousandth part of an inch?" he asked the reporter, who replied to the cffect that ne had never even seen, heard, tasted, or smelt the ten-thousandth part of an inch.
The foreman, with a smile, turned to a small machine. It is theoretically simple, but exquisite in workmanship,
In a small' horizontal and perfectly level iron frame-work is adjusted a horizontal screw, which carries one jaw of a small vise the other jaw being fixed. The screw has ten threads to an inch. It is obvious, therefore, that ono turn of the screw will alter the distance between the jaws of the little vise just one-tenth of an inch.
The head of the screw is a circular steel plate, about four inches in diameter, the circumference of which is graduated into 100 equal divisions. Turning the head of the screw through the extent of one of these divisions advanced the screw the one-hundredth part of an inch.
The finer adjustment is made by a vernier affixed to the head of the screw, which is so graduated that the turning of the head until a division of the scale upon its circumference coincides with the nearest division on the vernier scale, advances the screw the one-thousandth part of a revolution, and widens or contracts the space between the jaws of the little vise just the (fen-thousandth part of an inch. As the screw cannot lie made absolutely true, there is an ingenious attachment for correcting the infinitesimally minute error in its working, and, as a change in a few degrees in the temperature of the room, or of the gauge to be tested, would affect the nicety of the operation, the machine is ^adjusted for a temperature of 75 degrees, and the trials are made with the gauges at the same temperature.
Adjusting the vise-jaws at 1-10,000th of an inch more than two inches apart, the foreman handed tbe reporter a twoinch guage and told him to pass it carefully ana slowly between them. Left to itself tne guage fell freely of its own weight through the space but when made to descend slowly a perceptible pull was felt from each jaw, analogous to the pulling power of two magnets.
The foreman gave the head of the screw an almost imperceptible touch, making it coinoide with the vernier. The guage would no longer pass through it filled the space between the jaws exactly. That touch had brought those jaws nearer together by just tha lQ-lOOOth part of an inch.
A Novel Way of Defending Himself. Thefy had a little game of draw at the surveyors' camp near Cherry Creek the other dav, and tho negro cook took a hand. Hn also took the disputed "pot," and then the row began. The negro butted one man in the stomach and then hid in a tent. They hunted him out of that, but are no doubt sorry they found him, as be run the blockade by doing seme scientific butting, seeing that one of his opponents was armed with a knife and one with an ax. One man got it in the mouth and the other in the stomach, and the negro mado for the woods. His mode of fighting was a revo'ation to the boys. After getting so hungry next morning that they would rather eat than fight, tbe cook was permit te io return to camp.—Salt

The Dorrls Harder.
ST. LOUIS, January 31.—Patrick McGlew, the companion of Russell -Brown in the morder of old Mrs. Dorris last Saturday night, did not arrive here from Chicago this forenoon, as expected, but will be brought down to-night by Detective O'Neal, who has gone up after him. He is well known to the police here, and while he has not been convicted of crime, his reputation is bad. He is also known to the police of Chicago and other cities. Three years ago his sister Mary, who waa a dining room girl at tbe Spencer House, Indianapolis, was murdered by Henry Goetig, of that city.
The inquest on the body of Mrs. Dorris is still progressing, and will continue probably two or three ^ays. Tbe entire Dorris family, excepting Mrs. Whig ken, his mother, is very bitter against Brown, give him a very bad character, and assert that they will prosecute him with all the vigor and all the money they possess.
