Kailway superintendents and other officials an* requested to honor no requests for passes, or other favors, save those directly from John C. New &Bon, ironi either the business or editorial departments of the Journal. Personal Points. W . M. Tabor, assistant superintendent of the dining-cars on the Pennsylvania lines, has resigned to go into business in Chioago. W. G. Sola has been appointed master of transportation ou the Louisville, New Albany 5r Chicago road. Mr. Sala has of late been chief traiudispatcher on the Chicago Western Indiana. George M. Bogue, recently appointed arbitrator for the three Western pools, lias accepted the position. Mr. Bogue has been a prominent flgnr in railroad affairs for n number of years, and tanks as a man of ability. William Mathers, a railroad contractor of con-©id'-rabfe rote, died sit New Lisbon, O , hist wcelc. Nr Mathers built a great portion of tbo Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Air Line, and prided himself ou doing honest, work. Judge Osborn, attorney jof the Michigan Central road, is in the city. The object of Ins visit is to appear before the Legislature to set forth ttie Michigan Central’s introduction of the interlocking switch, and attempt to seoure a suspension of the law requiring a full stop before a crossing in tae case ol the Michigan Central. The following prominent railroad men are in the city: William R. McKean, president of the Vandalia: John F. Miller and Edward McKenna, superintendent of the P., C. *fc St. L. and t.ba J„ M. & I.; Edgar Hills, assistant general freight Agent of tile Bee Line; H. W. Gays, general freight agent of the Indianapolis & St. Louis. Col. Robert Forsythe, traffic manager of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, was in the city yesterday. Ho acknowledges that the statement that lie was offered tne general freight agency of the Chicago & Atlun’io road, which appeared in the Journal a few days since, was true, but lie lias declined and fully decided to remain in his present position. A dark horse, has come to the front in the last few days for the position of general freight ngenr. of the Chioago fe Atlantic. ’ 8 F. Pierson, late Denver pool commissioner, who is on the Inside, says he is very likely to secure the position. The company coaid not well get a better man for general freight agent. That J. Condit •Smith is to be the general manager is definitely settled. M. M. Landis, agent of the Hoosao Tunnel Line at this point, Ims received from the Fitchburg Railroad Compauy the following circular: “Mr. J. R. Watson lias been appointed general passenger agent for this company, with headquarters at 250 Washington street, Boston. Your kind oo operation with him in our interest will be esteemed a favor. Mr. F. O. Heald has been appointed our general ticket ageut, and to him all communications pertaining to this department should be addressed as usual.’’

Local Notes. The Wabash company has advanced the pay of their losal freight conductors slopor month. High waters are still giving the Indianapolis & Vincennes,road trouble, no trains ruuning through yet. Three bridges are reported to be out of line, but none washed out. Travel is very light on all roads, but few people who know the dangers of travel and the liability t,og<*t lay-overs on side tracks fur several hours venturing out, unless obliged to go. The receiver of the Illinois Midland road lias not attempted to run trains on that line since Friday Inst, Ho says his engines can neither skate, climb trees uor swim, consequently cannot get over the road. The freight, movement is exceedingly light, superintendents not oaring to take the risk of trains stalling on main tracks, ice and water on several or the roads malting the ruuning of heavy freight trains hardly safe. The superintendent of one of the Indianapolis lines recently received a bill from a geutieinan of! .h standing at a small town ou the line, demanding $5 for going about one-fourrh of a milo amTTnformt i g a woman that her husband, who **a a section boss, had been hilled by accident. The Union Railway Company have a meeting •,0-day. Little of importance is likely to be done, ami nothing regarding the, new Union depot until the oonrt decides whether the Union Railway Coin puny h is the right to dictate to leasing linen on what terms they shall be given the facilities of tne Union tracks and accommodation of the Union depot. Ti e North and South Lumber-rate Association at their recent meeting revolved, “That this meeting recousider the resolution adopted at Indianapolis, agreeing only to change lumber rates April 1 and Nov. 1, and that instead the chairman Is authorized to call a meeting for the purpose of considering rates, upon the applications of three or more roads interested.” E. B. Hole ill neon, who settles claims for damages brought against the divisions of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis road which are under Joun F. Miller as superintendent, ia in the city gathering evidence by which the P.. C. & St, L. company may defend itself against suits brought by eertair. parties for damages resulting from the overflow of Pogue’s run in Juue, 1882. The general passenger agents who faror the abolishing of the payment of commissions have by no means abandoned the light, ami are receiving encouragement from general managers to make the reform D will come up for discussion at the next, meeting of the National Association of General Passenger Ageuts. T. C. Moore, commissioner at Chicago, has pushed the reform so far at that point that passenger agents at the hotels are to no longer receive commissions, bu. are allowed a regular salary. While general managers and superintendents ar* congratulating themselves over tho light damages at a-result, of the reedht high waters, it would bo well for them to remember that, the poor section men are entitled to much of the credit, as ou many of the roads they were oui day and night watching the track and preventing old trees and rubbish piling up against the bridges, sweeping them out, and were their pay to be doubled for tho time they have been so exposed it would be no more than honorable on the part of the railroad companies. The Wabash management is expecting great things from their lowa division when matters me in good working order, more especially from the extensive coal mines on their lino. The purchase of the lands has been going on quietlv for Iwo years, and they lie in two parches—one a body of between 7,000 and 8,000 acres in Marlon county, in the Red Rock regii, thirty-live miles from Dos Moines, lying in a continuous bony of one-eighth of a mile on each side of the Wahtiah track, and another body of 1,500 or 2.000 acres within six miles of Das Moines. The mines are now being rapidly opened. The upper veins lying in the hillside are rapidly being made ready for drift mining. Preparations are going on for sinking shafts to the lower bituminous veins and also to tbo can no! vein. The workmen who arc engaged in It say that orders have been issued to crowd work so as to insure an output of at least 100 car-loads a da}' by next September. General News. The Marrietta & Cincinnati company to-day reorganize under the name of the Cincinnati, Washington &, Baltimore road. In the month of January there were built In the United States sixty one. miles of.railroad, against 138 miles in January, 1882, and seventy-one miles in 1881. The “bears” are using, as a weapon to break down the stock of the Union Pacific, the com pie tloa of the Denver fe Rio Grande road to So It Lake and Ogden. One report is that it will tak<$10,000,000 from the Union Pacific earning* The whole Utah business does not exceed $3,000,00 > a year, and the na 1 row-gang© road jjili do pretty well to obcuin a quarter of it. It is estimated that the railroad officials of this country, in ail departments, give employment to fully 1.000 stenographers. When tho number In this branch of railroad service five years ago did not exceed fifty, some Idea or rho number now in this service may bo formed from the fact that there are in the employ of the Pcnimylvauia railroad,at Philadelpnia, 54 stenograph the G. * N.

So common has it become for high waters to damage railroads in this State that it is quite evident that the managements must, without further delay, do something to prevent, trouble mt this character every few mouths. One im-

portant thing to do is to raise roadbeds above the water level n 'ow lands, but a more important thing r.o do istoclearall streams of gorges of old trees or rubbish of any kind which has been forming for the i;vst half decade. Between Indianapolis and the mouth of White river there are thirty or more places where dynamite should be put in and these gorges ripped out. The fact )a that as lands arc. cleared up and ditches are made, water reaches the streams in half the time it did before such improvements were made. Consequently the creeks and rivers rise suddenly autl these gorgos check the flow of the water and make a large per cent, of the trouble. THE “outs” STRUGGLING TO GET IN. Notwithstanding the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad is one of the most prosperous roads in the world under its present unexceptlonaly excellent management,there is an opposition syndicate being organized whioh promises to develop considerable strength at the coining election, but it is hardly probable they oar. elect otlter than ttie present board of directors aim officers; certainly not it would seem, if the stockholders know what is for their best interests. It is understood that A. J. Cassatt, who returns from Europe within a row weeks, is the man who the opposition syndicate propose to push to the front. Parties in Indianapolis who own stock of the P. K. R. have within the last few days, it is stated, beeu applied to by the “outs’’ for their proxies, but Dunking it was best to let well enough alone, will, as heretofore, send their proxies to be voted in favor or the George Roberta management. BELT ROAD ANNUAL MEETING*. The Belt Road and Stockyard Company held their annual meeting yesterday in the office of A. I). Lynch, president of the First National Bank, and eleoted the following gentlemen ns directors: W. R. MoKeen and D. W. Minsh.-dl, of Terre Haute; K 8. McKee, M. A. Dawning, A. I). Lynch, W. P. I jams, John Thomas, of Indianapolis; Horace Scott, of Louisville, and John F. Miller, of Richmond, Ind. The directors elected W. R. MoKeen, president; Colonel Horace Scott, vice-president, ami A. D. Lynch, secretary and treasurer; W. P. Ijams, superintendent <>f Stockyards. The annual report for 1882 showed that tho Belt road earned $6,042 less than in 1881, and the Stockyards $31,210 less. During the year the company paid $50,000 interest, $50,000 dividends, and $13,300 was expended in itn proveinents. The falling oil' shown in the Stockyards’earning is due to tho bitter warfare the ( hieago stockyardsare making against this yard, in which they are assisted by certain roads, they making rates so low to stock shippers that they prefer to ship to the Chicago market. FREIGHT AND COAL MEN GET TOGETHER. The trufiio managers and general freight agents of the roads which handle the ooai shipped from Clay county and the coal operators held a meeting at tho Denison House yesterday. The roads represented were the Vandalia by H. W. Hibbard, general freight ageut; J. R. Kendall, assistant general freight agent; Chicago & Fasten) Illinois, Robert Forsyth, general Height agent; Indianapolis & St. Louis, H. H. Gays, general freight agent; Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway, D. J. Jennings, general freight agent, and George 8. Breoouut, general agent. The coal interests were represented by J. S. Talley, Coal Bluff,MiningCompany; D. J.Jenne, Brazil Block Coal Company; \V. W. Zimmerman. Brazil and Cuioago coal Compauy; W. H. Johnson, Jackson Coul and Mining Company; W. I). Black, Carbon Hill Mines; J. H. Bishop. Crawford Coal Company; J. W. Niblock, Chicago. The session continued some four hours, and there was pretty plain talk on both sines, the freight men coming ont ahead. It was shown tliht, while freight rates had been steadily decreasing from year to year, and were now (lywn to hard-pan, the coal operators had -etcadily advanced the price of coal, and indications were tiiat they proposed to follow up this plan. The conference was brought to a close by the introduction of a resolution that the railroad oofiipanies would make a suitable reduction on transportation to prominent points, notably Chicago, provided the coal operators would make such u reduction in mining as would nmko the “burden” of reaching these markets to be borne equally by ail parties interested. A final meeting will lake place at Brazil on Thursday, the Bth, to make a fiual report to all operators in the district. SHOULD HAVE HIS HEAD RUBBED. The report of the railroad commissioner of Minnesota is such a one-side affair as to excite much unfavorable comment in railroad circles, tho commissioner seeming to have gone beyond reasonable bounds to create ill-feeling toward the railroads. The report states that forty different railway enterprises in Minnesota have been consolidated into seven great systems. Os these the Milwaukee has absorbed eight, the Northwestern six, the Omaha eleven, the Manitoba three, tho Northern Pacific five, the Duluth three, and tho Minneapolis & St. Louis four. The report then argues “that the natural tendency of competitive roads would be to regulate retrain the interest of tho public. But t,h railways, where there are two or more rival lines, now generally make a secret agreement to pool their Issues, charge what rates they see fit to, and divide Die earnings. So Die public, instead of receiving the benefit hoped for, have two roads to support Instead of one. After saying that “the natural toudeuc3 r of competitive roads would be to regulate rules iu tlie interests of the public,” be proceeds at once to denounce the railroad officials for their competitive spirit, and, referring to the recent war of rates, the commissioner says: “I aiu oredibly informed of their recently patching up a war of rates at a meeting of the managers and agents, and then rushing from the council chamber to meet in t He telegraph office to send instructions to their Eastern ageuts how to evade Die covenants just made !” With them, peace means preparation for war, and tho commissioner descends upon Mr. Gould as the Mepbisto wlio is working the desruction of everything, and says: “You may not trust human nature with unlimited money and power it) its tlsra. Any day Gould can blow hie hot breutn on the bulb of the barometer and breed a lluaucial storm,”

Mebstis. J. C. Ayek & Cos., Gentlemen; Last winter I was troubled with a most vxeomfortablo itching humor, affecting more espoc lidly my limbs, which itched ko intolerably at night, and burned so intensely, thnt I could scarcely bear any clothing over them. I was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cougn: my appetite was poor, and my system a good deal run down. Knowing the value of Ayer’s Baksaparilla, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, 1 began taking it for tho above-named disorders. My affpetito improved almost from the firstAlOßO. After a short time tbo fever and itching were allayed, and ail signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cougli were also curou by the same moans, and my general health greatly improved, until i* is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent, stronger, and I attribute those results to the use of tbo Sarsaparilla, which I recommend with all confidence as tbe best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all. less than two bottles. 1 place theso facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good. Yours respectfully, Z. p.
