RAILROAD NEWS.

The .New Route Bel wee Chicago and Bvanuville, Via Braall.

TheBrazil Register says that there seems to be no longer any uncertainly about the connection of the Chicago & Indiana coal road and the Evansville & Indianapolis by means of the Vandalia south branch running from Brazil to Saline City. The branch is already completed to a point about three miles this side of Saline City, and coal trains have been in

road to Brazif that either Mr. Mackey, president of the E. & I. would bilild a branch 'on the route designated, or that the Vandalia managers would extend their branch as above referred to sf as to make the connection. A survey of the remaining three miles has just been completed by.the Vandalia managers, and a posse of men are reported at work in the construction of a road bed. This connection is tff the utmost importance. It opens up communication between the lakes and the Ohio at Evansville via Bnzil, a route traversing the middle of the coal fields from Yeddo to the river, 150 miles. Shipments of coal north can but be immense* while the northern extension of the C. & I. C, from Fair Oaks to La Crosse, thereby connecting with the Michigan Central, guardntees heavy shipments of 1 amber south. The C. & I. C. has built up a good passenger traffic, though going no further south than Brazil. The connection with the E. fc I. can but materially increase the passenger traffic. The C. & I. ,C. designs to reach Rockport, in Spencer county. This can be done with about forty miles ol track if built from Newberry in Greene county to Jasper in Dubois thence to

Rockport on the Louisville A St. Louis track. This, however, is indefinitely in the future. The C. A I. C. road have contracted witfc the Pullman car works for 600 box and coal cars. The Indianapolis car works have "the contract of overhauling 375 coal cais, and the work is now in progress at that place. The managers have contracted also for the erection of a coal shute, to be.located near the round house. I* will consist of twelve pockets and will cost $5,000. i0:

Mr. Joseph E. Dyas left Friday night

A young unmarried girl of 17 said in reply to questions: "My work in the coalpit begins at 6 o'clock in the morning and aids between 0 and 11 at night. I load from sixty to seventy cars every daj, and I earn two francs a day. I went regularly to school from my eighth year to my twelfth year. I could read once, but I have forgotten it all now. Pit-work ought to be prohibited for girls."

Upon being 'questioned more closely by the president she said it ruined the morals of every good-looking girl. "The overseers bribe the prettiest girls by gw ing them the best paid work.7'

A married woman said: "The week before last my husband earned thirteen francs. He had never earned a larger sum in a week. It is impossible for us to live upon such a wage. When I have bought our food and firing the whole wage is spent, it is net enough to cover rent and clothing."

The mother of a family replied: scarcely know the taste of meat." Another young girl said that her working day in the pits began at 4:30 or 5 a. m., and closed at 11 p. m., for which she received one franc eighty centimes to two francos. A younger sister left off work at 6 p. m., but she only earned one franc fifty centimes. Nearly all the girls volunteered, in almost the same words, the emphatic statement: "Girls ought not to be allowed to work in the pita and they were unanimous in their complaint of the temptations put in their way by the overseers.

The president asked each of them: 'What nourishment do you have ?. Do you often take meat?"

One girl replied: "Three months ago we had some meat on oar table I have never tasted any since." Another said: "I take a bottle of water with the fruit every morning I can't afford cofiee."

The president asked an old workman who had spent his life in the pits why no effort had been made by them to bring their condition before the notice ot the public. "I would gladly have given evidence," said he, "but I knew that I shonld be dismissed if I told any story about the works. My comrades have urged me to speak for them, as I have so long experience. But I was afraid to do it."

His present wages are two francs a day, when he was younger and stronger housed to earn ihe sum of two francs and fifty centimes a.day.

The president asked if the workers found regular wages or piecework the more profitable.' "The day wage is miserable," said the old man, "but piecework is no -better, for if the overseers find that a man earns

family consists of nine persons, only three of us earning anything. We have to keep six who are not earners. The united yearly income of the three of ds who are worken is 1,500 francs."

The president asked if they would not like their children to go to school after the twelfth year. "No," replied the workman "it is not possible for the parents to wait until a ong school tram is ended, as the faniily need the wages of the elder children. We have not only to keep our young children, but "also our old people. After his fiftieth year a man can earn little in the pits and is usually dismissed,"

This speaker—whom the worken were particularly anxious to have examined, as he .is i« good repute both as workman and an orater—told the commissioners that the average weekly wages of the head of a household in full work is from twelve to fourteen francs. "I need not say that a family cannot live upon that the wife must work when she can, the children as soon as they can."

A married woman, who had been a worker in the coal-pit, said: "I am the mother of six children. We are very poor but I would rather starve than that one of my girls should go to work in the pits. The overseen use all means in thslr power to ruin the girls. If nothing else succeeds they will put a timid girl to work in a solitary place until she is terrified."

When she was asked what wages her family earned, she replied that her husband had thirteen francs a week and one of her sons eighty centimes.

To the question ss to the food of the family, she said: "Every Sunday aud Thursday I buy a pound of meat -oa all other days we live on potatoes and bread."

The first volume closes with the administration of Buchanan, the second will deal with the scenes and incidents of the rebellion.
