President Devereux gathering them In for a conference and the laying out of an aggressive policy to secure their share of business. There were present at the conference. President Devereux, General Manager Thomas, Superintendents Blee, Burrows and Ewan, General Passenger Ag**nt A. J. Stuitn, Assistant Passenger Agents D. B. Martin and David Edwards, Assistant General Freight Agent H. W. Gays, Chief Engineer Beach, and Master Mechanic Turriff. The officials scattered last evening, most of them going to their respective headquarters. Local Notes. Six snd one-half miles of sidetrack is to belaid at onoe in lengthening out sidetracks at points ®n the Tndianapolis & St. Lours road. The steam shovels and gravel trains on the Tndtanapolis <& St. Louis are in operation day, Bight and Sundays, working two sets of men. The earnings of the Wabasb, Bt. Louis Sc Pacific railway for the second week of March were: 1883, $381,025; 1882, $344,525; increase, $36,500. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago company has hired a colored man for brakeman on a freight train, and the white hrakemen&re a good deal disturbed over this now departure. Tim 1,500 cars which T. A. Lewis is instructed, to order built are for the Great Western DisXatch, which will operate over the Chicago Sc tlantic, not the Erie A Pacific Dispatch. Tlie new passenger depot, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Hr. Louis & Chicago road at Cincinnati, into which the Bee Line and probably the Marietta A Cincinnati (now the Cincinnati, Baltimore Sc Washington) will run, it ia understood will be called the Grand Central Depot, as Cincinnati now has a union depot. E. 0. Murphy, superintendent of the Detroit & Tndianapolis division of the Wabash, and W. G. Bala, master of transportation of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, meet here to-day to arrange running time for trains for the portion of tbo Wabash road which the Chicago & Indianapolis Air Line will use to gain an entrance into the city. General-manager McCrea, of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis lines, states that the P., C. A Bt. L. company has ordered twenty-eight new first-class engines, which, added to the thirty-five be has been instructed to purchase by the Chicago, Bt. Louis tfe Pittsburg company, will increase their power sixty-three engines within the next few months. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Sc Chicago management have decided, with the taking effect of the spring time-table, to run the 8 A. M train through to Seneou, making a connection with Hie Paelfio express of the Chicago & Rock Island road westward. To do this the train would leave Indianapolis at 7:30 A. M., Instead of 8 a. sc., as it now does. Superintendent MacLeod,of the Louisville, New A’b.-iny Sc Chicago system, states that when they lieein running their trains on the Chicago Sc Indianapolis division into the Union Depot they will le some of the handsomest arriving tliore. Four fine new passenger engines will baa) the through trains, which will he made up completely of new equipments. Th treasury of the Union Railway Company Is somewhat, depleted. The Bee Lino owes for three mouths’ transfer over the Belt, road; then the Union Railway Company refuse the rental from the Cincinnati, Hamilton Sc Tndianapolis until the qmvtinn at issue between the two companies is settled by the court*-; and, put this and that together. Treasurer Jackson is troubled to luake both ends meet. Tiie virtuous Missouri Pacific is apparently working through the scalpers at. ihiH point, who are selling tickets to Kansas City at, $10.50, the regular rate being $13.23, second class, and the limit gives the purchaser one day and night fton-off at Bt. Louis. The tickets read over the 1., B. k W. to Danville, the Wabash to St. Louis, the Missouri Pacific to Kansas City, aud chair care free over the latter line. Fast-freight line men report orders for cars in excess of the number at command. While business from Indianapolis proper is light, shipments from points west of hero are heavy. In the movement of cars both East, ana West, ninetyfive per cent, are reported to b© loaded, westbound traffic being equally as heavy as Eastbound business. Rales are firm by all lines agents, showing a disposition to adhere strongly to the tariff rates. One of the Bee Line officials stated, last evening, that, the company had been seriously considering the putting on of anew train between St. Louis and Now York, mid Cincinnati and New York, limited in character, hut, after taking a careful survey of the situation, had come to t lie conclusion It would he a poor-paying enterprise, hut that wifch tlie taking of effect of the spring time-table they would make an important change in tlie leaving time of ouo of their express trains out of Cincinnati.

General News. The business of tlio Memphis A Ohio road Is seriously crippled for want of more freight equipments. A contract has been concluded between the 'Pullman company and the Fort Scott road, by which aline of new and elegant sleepers will be put on between Kansas City nn3 the terminus of the Springfield road about June 1. It is persistently asserted that the Erie company is cutting grain rates, but there is little probability of h railroad war. Commissioner Moore, of the Chicago pool, is unable to gather any Information sliowiug that the Erie is outting. There is on the proposed line of the New York A Boston Inland railroad a siugle tunnel two miles long to be bored under an elevation in the town of Mention, and thus far no contractor has Been found wiio would agree to finish this alone In less than twenty months. The Hinckley Locoinctivc-works are shipping new engines to the Toledo, Cincinnati A Sr. Louis road at. the rate of throe per week. Some twenty of the engines on the road when President Phillips took hold must be rebuilt, it is Stated, before they will be fit for service. The Comiectientt papers have taken to praising the management of the New York A New England road, and making comparisons with the New' York A N*-w Haven company quite unfavorable to the latter. A few weeks ago these same paper- could hardly say anything bitter enough about the N. Y. A N. E. and the management of 8. M. Felton. The New York, New Haven A Hartford railToad propose putting on two new through trains between New York and Boston via Springfield about May 1. The trains will be composed of drawing-room and ordiuary cars, and will leave New York and Boston at 9 o'clock, running through without, change of oars in from six to six and a half hours. There will then be three six-hour trains each way daily between New York and Boston. AN ELEPHANT ON THEIR HANDS. It is becoming quite evident, says the Boston Journal, that the people of the Common wealth of Massachusetts are in favor of the Btate cutting loose from active railroad ownership, which resulted in disposing of the stock of the Boston A Albany and New York A New England at the last session of the General Court, demanding the same disposition of the Commonwealth's present ownership of the Hoosac Tunnel, and Its short connecting line of railroud shall also be disposed of in such a wanner that the active management of the tunnel by State otlkdals shall cease. It by no means follows, however, that the people are eager to part with it for nothing, or eitherto dispose of the tunnel at a large mice, if the object for which it was pushed through cannot in a measure be guaranteed. WHY THEY DECLINE PAYING. E, B. Thomas, general manager of the Bee IJoe, yesterday, in speaking of the article published la the Journal as regards their refusing to pay the transfer charges over the Belt road, says that while the reason assigned was a justifiable

one (it being that if the Bee Line paid transfer charges over the Belt road other roads should not be allowed to move their cars over the Union tracks free), it was not the real cause of the Bee Line Company declining to pay these charges. The fact was that they, since Dec. 1, 1882, had been haulling with their own locomotives their through business over the Belt road, and they were not willing to pay 80 oents and $1 per car transfer charge and furnish the power to transfer the cars, and as soon as the Belt road and Bee Line Company could fix upon a fair price for transfers under the present conditions, the transfer charges would doubtless be paid. STILL HANGS FIRE. President Devereux, of the Bee Line svstem, spent yesterday in the city. Colonel Wni. B. Tuell, president of the Terre Haute A Southeastern road, was with him a couple of hours, and still the lease of the T. H. AB. E. goes unsigned, although prepared for signature a month ago, and It is becoming more and more evident dally that there is a hitch In the transaction somewhere. Mr. Devereux, when questioned, in effect said the matter still hung fire. E. B. Thomas, general manager, declined to say whether the Bee Line would lease the road or not, hut remarked “chat he thought if properly handled it could be made a good piece of road. Os course the coal fields it reached gave the property its value.” John T. Dye, attorney for the Bee Line, said the less the railroad reporter of the Journal said about it the better. Colonel William B. Tuell said “the Bee Line people had some forty days yet to sign the lease, and he presumed they would act honorably.” However, he was not particular about their taking the road, as it was worth $5,000 a month anyhow, and they were to pay him only $4,000, REORGANIZE AND CHANGE NAME OF ROAD. The stockholders of the Bedford, Springville, Owenshurg A Bloomfield road yesterday met and reorganized under the name of the Bedford A Bloomfield road, and elected the following gentlemen as directors for the ensuing year. Aqullla Jones, William Mansur, Franklin Landers and John Thomas, Indianapolis; W. C. Winstandly, A. C. Voris and W. P Malott, Bedford. The directors elected as officers John Thomas, president; W. C. Winstandley, vioe-president and treasurer; 8. Morgan, secretary; J. W. Kennedy was appointed superintendent. This is practically an Indianapolis Rollingmill property, as all the bonds are held by them. Theerockholders indulged in a lengthy discussion as regards extending the road to Seymour, some thirty-five miles,where connection would be made with the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis for Louisvilie, and with the Ohio A Mississippi for Cincinnati. The O. AM. people are urging the B. A B. Compauy to build to Seymour, as It would be a valuable feeder to them, and they promise to make a very favorable traffle agreement providing they will do so. The statement was made at the meeting that the 8., 8., O. A B. had been treated very shabbily by the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago and the Indianapolis A Vincennes people in the matter of an interchange of traffic, and the general expression seemed to be that the only way for the company to make the B. A B. road a paying institution was to extend it to connection with theO. A M. road. LEGISLATION AGAINST RAU.ROADS GOING OUT OF FASHION, The railroad committee of the Legislature of Massachusetts reported no legislation necessary on that part of the Governor’s message relating to railroads, or on the report of the railway commission, and the House last week defeated the bill to compel corporations to pay employes weekly The lower house of the legislative body of Texas has adopted lor the railroad hill creating a railway commission a substitute introduced by Speaker Gib9on providing for a State engineer, with powers of inspection. An amendment obliging the engineer to report to the next session of the Legislature a freight classification and schedule of maximum rates for freight and passenger traffic was ruled out or order, because belonging to the subject matter of the bill which had been killed. The Wisconsin Assembly bill taxing (express companies 3 per oent. on their gross earnings was killed. The indications are that there will be no railroad legislation in Florida at the present session. A bill was introduced providing for a commission for the regulation of freight, and passeuger fares, but the committee to whom it was referred have reported adversly, saying that no unreasonable rates or unjust discrimination exists, and that it is to tlie true interest of the State to foAter its roads and encourage the building of otheis. Senator Boyd, of the New York legislative body, has introduced a novel railway bill. It provides that anew railway shall give to the State, on being organized, one-tenth of its bonds, and that the interest on these bonds ahull be used in purchasing the remaining bonds of the railway company till they are all in the possession of the State and it has thus become owner of the road. APPLICATION FOR AN INJUNCTION. Grand Rapids, Mich., Maroh 21.—The Penn sylvama Railroad Company to-day presented a bill in the Ciroult Court of this county for an injunotion against the Graud Rapids A Indiana Railroad Company to restrain the latter from payiug interest maturing April 1 on its bonded debt, secured by mortgage of Oct 1, 1809, until it has paid the interest coupons on tlie bonds secured by the same mortgage, previously maturing, purchased and held by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, amounting, with interest, to $2,340,000.

Youtz, auditor of Whitley county, which will be of equal interest to ail county and township officers, as well as road tax payers: “Under the road law of 1881 the superlmendent of roads is required, *at the expiration of his term of office, to make out a schedule of all property belonging to his township appertaining to roads, and turn the property over to Ids successor in office; and he shall also deliver to ids successor all money on hand for road purposes, taking ids receipt as voucher for the same/ Under the law passed at the last session of the Legislature, township trustees are the successors of road superintendents. “The final settlement of the road superintendents Is to be made with the county boards at the next meeting after the expiration of their term of office. (See road law, 1881, section 15.) “If thev have not already done so, it ia the duty of road superintendents to immediately turn over to the township trustees all the property and money in tlieir hands belonging to Ids township pertaining to roads. While it is not required by them to make such settlement, if the county road superintendents desire an immediate set-

tlement there will be no impropriety in your calling an extra session of the county commissioners for that purpose.” Referring to section 20 of the new road law: “Doubtless the parties who had not paid their taxes would have the right to work out their road tax, and it will be proper for you to make out a road-list of that class of persons. When the assessments are made for the coming year it will be your duty to make out road-lists. These comments apply to poll as well as other taxes.” Where Bishop-Klect Nicholson is Rector. Bt. Mark’s Church is one of the leading Episcopal churches of Philadelphia. By a charter provision, morning and evening service is held every day in the year. The key of the door is never turned against the pnbllo except at night. Any person can enter tlie chnrch at any hour of the day for private meditation aud pr&yers, as well as for public worship. The membership is so large that holy oomiuunion Is celebrate i t 7, 8 and 9 o’clock every Sunday moraine, upoi every Thursday, and upon all the Batnt days. In addition to the worship of St. Mark’s, its charities are extraordinary. It maintains a hospital for the sick, and numerous guilds among the men and women for the poor and needy, ana Tor missionary work at home and abroad. Dr. Nicholson superintends all these parochial charities in person, lie has four clerical assistants to attend to the daily services, and to aid in ministering to the sick and sorrowing members of the flock. Funeral of Charles Soehner. The funeral services over the remains of the late Charles Soehner, sr., were conducted at the family residence, No. 98 West Vermont street, yesterday afteruoon, by Rev. N. A. Hyde, quite a large number of the friends of the deceased being present. The remains were escorted to the depot and were shipped to Washington, Pa., over the Panhandle express, leaving this city at 5:15 o’clock, where, in accordance with Mr. Soehner’s request during life, they will be cremated in the Le Moyne furnace. The gentlemen accompanying the remains were: Judge Gresham, Frank Fertig and Charles Soehner, jr. Reported General Shaking Up. The Western Christian Advocate of this week, says: “Certain circles of Indianapolis have been considerably agitated over the rebukes lately given by leading ministers of the city to dancing, theater-going, and other sinful amusements of fashion. The Methodists are not so much embarrassed, perhaps, as other denominations in this matter. The condemnation of mere worldly pleasures is so uniformly positive by our preachers that the people who want to ‘wear The livery of heaven to serve the devil In* prefer some other ’church,’ where they are not likely to be so much disturbed. Nevertheless, the Methodist churches are not entirely exempt from the common evils.” _ A Fine Hair Dressing.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL FOR 1883. ESTABLISHED 1823. The Indianapolis Journal is now in its sixty-first year, with the support and confidence of a larger and constantly growing constituency, and with an influence, we feel warranted in saying, never exceeded in its long and prosperous history. It has a bettef equipment, more thorough and "ysteiuatia organization, and a sharpened desire to meet the steadily pressing demand for a clean, high-toned and complete newspaper. Its facilities for the gathering of news and for its faithful and satisfactory presentation were never so good as now, and it will continue to be the purpose to accompany the news of the day with such editorial treatment and comment as to still further ally the paper with the interests and conscience of all the people. In general news, and especially in the news of the SU.te of Indiana, and of the territory in Ohio and Illinois naturally and commercially tributary to Indianapolis, the Journal will be found to be largely in advance of all contemporaries. Wo have cor* respondents in the larger cities and towns, while the county papers are carefully gleaned. In all regards the Journal is, by odds, the best reflex of the interests of the entire State and of the territory it seeks to serve. Its present superiority in this respect will be fully maintained, and enhanced as opportunity may offer. Tlie Indianapolis Journal is the only Republican morning newspaper printed in this city which publishes the Associated Press reports. Since the recent consolidation of the New York and Western Press Asssociations, combining all the leading newspapers of the entire country, both the quantity and quality of the news gathered from all parts of the world will be greatly increased and bettered. Its commercial reports, court record, Supreme Court decisions, railway news, and editorial and miscellaneous departments are conceded to be as good as the best, and their present excellence will be fully sustained in the future. The Journal will continue to maintain its assured position as the LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA, and asks support on account of its general merits no less than upon its superiority as a special representative of the best thought, and culture and character of the State,

The Saturday Journal. The Saturday edition of the Journal has taken such rank as to make it almost a special and independent paper. It is prepared to meet the demand for a newspaper of the highest class, filled with reading matter of the best character, and thoroughly unobjectionable in every respect—a paper that can be welcomed into every home and be a companion at every fireside. It is a splendid treasure-house of the best literary ability of Indiana, and, as such, is worthy the support of the people. The Saturday Journal reaches into the furthest limits of our territory in time for Sunday reading, which a Sunday paper cannot possibly do, because of the lack of railway facilities on that day. It is also on hand for the long hours of Saturday night. The Saturday Journal will be found to contain that which will interest the old and the young alike, the farmer, his wife and his daughters, the literary man, the scholar, the politician, or simply the one who desires the fullest news of the day. It already has a much wider reading than any other issue of the week, and a greatly more extended and bettel patronage than any daily published in th State. Special contracts for advertising for the Saturday edition are made, and special subscriptions for it arc received. The Weekly State Journal. The Weekly Edition of the Journal is especially prepared for the demands of the people of Indiana outside of the cities and towns reached by the Daily. It is not a reprint of the Daily, but is an entirely separate and distinct edition, under the care of an independent and experienced editor. It contains the best literary and miscellaneous features of the Saturday Journal; but it has exclusively prepared for its columns a complete compendium of all the news of the week, both foreign and domestic, and particularly of the State of Indiana, and of the territory which it naturally commands. Its market reports are carefully compiled, and its agricultural and household departments receive particular and competent attention. In all its features the Weekly State Journal is as good as any weekly newspaper printed in the country, and, of course, it is much better for every Indianian because of its local news and character. Indianians are not interested in the local news of Ohio, or of Illinois, or of Kentucky, or of any other i State; but they arc interested in the affairs of Indiana, and these the Weekly Journal will give them, and at the same time be as good a general newspaper as the best The Weekly Journal is the paper for the Indiana farmer. Every postmaster is an authorized agent, and will receive subscriptions for the Journal, which can commence at any time.
