THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS. East-Bound Rates Becoming Demoralized—A Freight War Imminent, The Wabash-Iron Mountain Lease Worrying Competitors—Movements of Prominent Railroad Men. Personal Points. Colonel Harry Crawford, president, eto., of J>e Chicago <fe Great Southern road, is in the olty. A. Donaldson, auditor of the Ohio A Mississippi road, was iu the city yesterday on official business. E. B. Stahlman, vice-president and traffic manager of the L., N. A. A C., will to-day make an Inspection trip over the Chicago & Indianapolis division. The following prominent railroad officials ■were in the city yesterday en route for St. Louis, the party traveling on a special train: Charles Jt fagh, general manager Pennsylvania railroad; F. Wsloott Jackson, general superintendent United railroad of New Jersey; R. Neilson, general superintendent Northern Central railroad; 8. M. Prevoat-. general superintendent Pennsylvania raiiroad; Robert Pitcairn, superintendent Pittsburg division Pennsylvania railroad; James A. Wood, general passenger ns>it Pennsylvania railroad; James McCrea, manager P.. C. A Bt. L. railway; John F. Miller, superintendent C., P. A Bt. L. railway; E. A. Ford, general passenger agent Pennsylvania Company; W. A. Baldwin, manager Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago company; A. B Starr, superintendent Pennsylvania company; C. I>. Law, superintendent Pennsylvania company. At Indianapolis they were joined by superintendent of the Vandalla, J. N. Chesbrougli, general passenger agent, and N. K. Elliott, master f transportion. Local Notes. Paymaster Irwin, of the J., M. & 1., will to-day pay on the Indianapolis division for Maroh service. Railroad men say the sentiment of the managers of the trunk lines is a unit in favor of the •trict maintenance of rates. Iu the month or Maroh 2,124 cars were handled on tho Rushville, Vernon A Greensburg division of the C., 1., St. L. &C„ 1,546 of which were loaded cars. Passenger business over the Chicago <fc Indianapolis Air Line is surprising the officials of the road, so fat- ahead of their expectations is it. It is now only looal in character, N. K. Elliott, master of transportation of tho Vmwialia, states that arrangements are being wade to pur on solid trains between Cincinnati •fid 9t. Louis with the taking effect of the spring time-table. The traius throughout, will be new equipments. Wofk on the northern extension of the Vandalia Line was begun in earnest on Monday last. Ties and rails are being distributed and the work of laving the track will be commenced within ten (layfi. At Locansport the Wabash ts trying to delwr connection with the main line, which ♦jrrepos to where the Panhandle crosses the Eel Rivsr railroad. As the time approaches for holding the great railway exposition at Chloago, railroad men over tb*- ©opntry are becoming more interested, and probably no enoh gathering of railway men, engineers, manufacturers, dealers in railway appliances, Inventors and uieu of scientific tendencies was ever held as that whioh will be called out by the great exposition. The Vandali-*. people are considerably disturbed that Assistant General Freight Agent Hehbs, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis A Chicago road, dropped into Colfax a day or two ago utiri cut the Toledo rato on grain three ♦Cuts, hauling the property round through India napolls, delivering it at this point to an Eastern connection. This was competition with the Vandalla from an unexpected qaaiter. President Thomas, of the Bloomfield A Bedford road, is receiving letters from Chlurnbuf. Seymour and Madison, ureing that the. B. & R. rood should be extended to these respective jFoint*, amt the letters are lavish with promises in the way of aid, providing tho company will build to either point. The tenor of the remarks of the directors of tne road, however, favors Columbus, where connection can be made with the G. A V. division of the C. t 1., St. L. A C. A railroad man of large experieneo and a olooe observer, lust evening remarked that in one place the Pennsylvania Company showed shortBlgluedness, that was, that they did not have one of tiieir general officers located here who would have, power to aot promptly on any questions which come up as regards either passenger or freight business. Practically, he said, four of these lines terminated at Indianapolis, and it was a much more proper point for ull their genersl offices than Columbus, O. Yesterday the Journal reporter 'dropped the remark in the presence of an [., B. A W. official high in authority that unless the 1., B. AW. were In earnest, in Their project of extending their Bt. Louis division to St. Louis, they were unwise to agitate the matter, as such agitation naturally created suspicion und aroused ill-will on the part or roads whioh now do business out of St. Louis. This drew fortli an answer to the effect that the Bt. Louis extension would lie built, and arrangements are. now in progress to raise the funds to construct the road, and the 1., B. A W. people were, as well, determined to extend their Ohio Southern division from Jackson, 0., to u poiut on the Ohio river, some thirty miles above Portsmouth, Then, remarked the official, the 1., B. A W. will inofc have a foot of road which it will not pay them handsomely to operate.

General News. An inventor at Greensburg, Pa., baa patented a railroad signal time clock, which Indicates the intervening time between trains. A London cablegram announces that the nllinnce between the Canadian Paciflo and Grand Trunk railroads has been perfected. New men have been employed in the place of the Erle.s witch men who struck at Buffalo, N. Y., against new rules and a reduction of wages. Operations have commenced by which, at a cost of $1,250,000, New-street Station, Birmingham, England, will be converted into the largest railroad depot in the world. It will cover eleven ores. A New England road is testing anew automatic devise for applying the brakes. By this arrangement the conductor, br.tkemen, or any of the train men, can Instantly apply the brakes to the whole train, the same as is done by the engineer. Receiver Douglass, of the Ohio & Mississippi, yesterday filed his report with the United States .District Court for March, which shows: Cash on hand March 1, 1883, $17,404 53: receipts, $618,443.39: disbursements, $473,342.17; cash on liaml March 31, 1833, $192,503.75. A gentleman well posted in the affairs of the .Southern roads, save that the relations between East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and the IBouthw-'•st-eru system, may possibly take the form of a tariff agreement. Connection via the Little pßockroad is already established, and another route between Meridian and Shreveport is proposed. The shrinkage in values of stocks during the last six months has been immense. Selecting only twenty from the long list dealt in on the Now York Exchange, it is found they have declined in value since September, 1882, more than f 100,000,000. This decline has occurred during a period when earnings have been greatly increased; while the.re have been no railroad wars. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company has issued its annual tourists'guide /■ortho summer of 1883. The book is entitled “A Keconnoissarcsof the Golden North west”and Is a profusely illustrated and beautifully-printed volume of 104 pages. Every attractive point In the Northwest is described and illustrated, pnd the pages of tile book are beautified by little glimpses of the scenery or tile region. MANAGER M’CREA’s POSITION IN THE MATTER. Anent the discussion of the Butterfleld-Furga-#on imbroglio it is but just to several persons involved that the matter be placed before the pub--310 in a proper light. The situation is simply this: While the C., H. &I.R. U. Cos. was working up evidence in the injunction suit versus the ludiaoapolis Union Railway Company, they scoured evidence to the end that tickets for Cincinnati were sold over the counter at the Union Despot via the C., 1., St. L. & C. without asking the tisnal question, “which route;” the evidence was to the minds of the authorities of the Union Company vague and inconclusive. When the discussion of tno differences .between the two railroad companies was taken up and the “entente cordial e” had been to some extent restored, Mr. MeCrea, president of the Union Railway Company, in a spirit of ultra fairness, suggested that if Messrs. Waite and Stevenson would vouch for the veracity and integrity of Cy Butterfield, their agent (upon whoso authority the complaints were made), ho (Mr. McCrea) would in

stantly dismiss the clerk in the ticket office who was guilty of disorlmluatiorff The matter was held in abeyance until the day following, when Mr. Dotiougli was advised by the C., 11. A I. officials that they elected that Mr. McCrea’e proposition should be acted upon, implying directly that they would indorse Mr. Butterfield’s veracity. Iletice the responsibility for the injustice done Mr. Furgason, if injustice was done, rests with the officials of the C., H. A I. Railroad Compau3'. STATUS OF TIIE ILLINOIS MIDLAND. Justice Harlan is expected in Indianapolis early in May, when steps will be taken, it is stated, looking to the foreclosure sale es the Illinois Midland road. The master in chancery will be prepared to make his report in a few days, which will show that the certificates issued by L. Genis during his receivership amounted to $1,200,000, which, if paid, would swallow the road up. The bondholders will fight bitterly the paying of these receiver certificates, and the holders of these certificates will also press their claims. The Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company hold $40,000 and Fletcher A Churchman’s bank SIOO,OOO of Receiver Genis’s issue of certificates. TIIE SITUATION WITH TIIE OUTSIDE OFFICES. John Martin, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road, expects to opeu, Monday next—only has to remove his tickets from tho Zoo Theater; Robert Emmett, of the Vandalia, only has to bring his ticket boxes down stairs and dust them off; W. J. Nichols, of the Bee Lino and I. A St. L., has only to bring his cases from tho back room and replenish his stock, which the scalpers havo reduced; Geo. Butler, of tho Indiana. Bloomington A Western, will need make no changes; Frank Palmer, of the Wabash, only needs to push ids ticket-case door up, it never having been locked. The Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis will become less prominent, and agents O’Neil and Butterfield can resume affidavit work on the ticket agents at the Union depot. don’t like titat leasing business. An Associated Press dispatch from St. Louis says: “The stockholders of the Iron Mountain and Wabash roads held their adjourned meeting this noon, and ratified the action of the directors in New r York, a few days ago, respecting a lease of the Wabash to the Iron Mountain. About twothirds of the Wabash stock and all of the Iron Mountain, excepting 500 shares, was voted. The circular referred to last night noting the changes and defining the positions of officials will probably not be issued till to-morrow.” On receiving the above telegram the railroad reporter Interviewed several freight men who are connected with competing lines of the Wabash this side of the Missouri river aud found that they were not pleased with the arrangement, aud feared it foreboded trouble, as the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific would naturally throw at least 75 per cent, of their business over the Wabash, which would leave but 25 percent, to divide between the Vandalla, Indianapolis A St. Louis, the Ohio A Mississippi and Chicago A Alton. Said freight officials also feared that the Jay Gould syndicate would as well become even more arbitrary us regards bridge facilities at St. Louis. TOO COMPLICATED AN INVENTION. Master mechanics and master car-builders for years past havo been studying to devise some plan to prevent the heating of oar journals, and most of the experiments have been in the way of mixing ingredients of a hair-dozen kinds aud then applying it directly to the journals or boxes. An Eastern inventor is turning his attention iu another direction, and proposes to prevent axles and boxes becoming heated by anew device, which, although apparently rather complicated, may lead to something useful, as trains are delated more frequently by hot boxes than from any other cause. By the new device a rotary fan, secured to the lower face of on of the trucks, Is driven by a belt that passes over a pulley on one of the car axles. To the nozzle of the fan is secured a rubber tube, artaohed at its outer end to a pipe fixed to the bottom of the car; from this pipe rubber tubes lead to pipes that open luto the car-axle boxes, and branch pipes also lead from the main pipe through the floor of the car. When the car is in motion the fan is rotated and air forced into the car, cooling and ventilating it, and is also forced Into the axle-boxes, keeping the axle cool. A small lubricating box, that bus on its upper surface a small semi-circular bearing for the passage of the axle, has between its lower face und tho bottom of tho axle-box springs that keep the lubricant contained in tho box iu contact with the axle.

EAST-BOUND BATES SHAKY. While the statement that east-bound rates with the light freight business now offered are becoming demoralized may grate harshly on the ears of railroad men, who well understand that the prosperity of roads depends upon the mainteauoe of rates, nevertheless it is true that not for many months have rates been so weak and , prospects for a freight war more imminent than at the present time. Doubtless the trunk Hues, so far as they ate respectively concerned, are adhering to their rules as regards the business of tiieir western connections, but it is West of Buffalo, Salamanca and Pittsburg where the mischief is done, where the haul is long enough to allow of roads cutting the rate from two to five cents per hundred pounds. A case was mentioned yesterday to the railroad reporter of the Journal where an agent of the Bee Liue proposed to u shipper, who had a round lot of freight to go forward, that be would be allowed to underbill the weight 3,000 pounds per car providing lie would ship by a certain line. A fast-freight line whioh operates over another road took export business*, it is stared, at such a figure that a flve-cent inland cut must have been made. Os course such reports have created quite a stir among the freight men, and the wires were frequently used yesterday telegraphing the situation to general managers who have not j r et ordered their agents to meet the rates of competitors. At St. Louis and Kansas City eastbound rates are said to lie more tampered with than at Indianapolis aud (mints on Inaiunapolis lines. Some of tbe wisest freight men now express the opinion that unless there is a prompt Gracing up of rates that an all-summer war will be inaugurated. Publishing Association of Friends. The Friends of tbo West, including those of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan und Wisconsin, huve recently organized a publishing association, with a capital stock of $15,000, located InChioago. Tim directors are T. O. Hill, A. H. Pickering, W. B. Wickersham, F. B. Hill, and B- M. Butler, of Chicago; J. M. Hussey, of New Vienna, O.; William 8. Wooten, of Danville, Ind., and Addison Naylor, of Des Moines, la. The officers are T. C. Hill, president; W. B. Wickersham, secretary, and B. Al. Butler, treasurer. They have purchased the Christian Worker, a weekly paper for many years published at New* Vienna, 0., which will be issued after the. Ist of M iy in anew and much improved form from tho office of the association in the Lakeside building, Chicago. C. W. Pritchard, who inis been ten years preaching for tho Friends iu this city, has been elected editor, and has gone to Chicago to enter this new field of labor. Lo&sou helps and a child's paper will also bo issued from the same office, and it is expected to become a channel for general publications tor rlie Friends, and will, if successful, become a center of great influence lor the church. Want to Kuow, You Know. What superintendent of a benevolent institution was it who hired “Rev.” T. Leslie Weaver to write up the regular examinations in a glittering style, so that an Impression might be made upon the board, who, however, will probably turn him out? It would also be interesting to know whether ho assessed the teachers, pro rata, for the write up, as on a former occasion. The New Insane Hospitals. The Insane Hiwpital commission will meet at the Governor’s ofiiee to-day, and tho locution of the asylums for the incurable insane will probably be decided upon. Delegates from Richmond aud Elkhart were iu the city yesterday, urging the claims of the respective cities to geographical advantages for the locution of hospitals. Charlestown has also made a bid. Startling Debility. both nervous and general, lack of self-confl-dencejund will power, impaired memory,) despondency, weak back, and kindred affections, are cominou results of j'outuful follies aud pernicious practices, pursued In solitude.

EISHOP-ELKCT MCHOLSOX. I An Additional Letter Explaining llis Reasons for Declination. The Madison Courier, of yesterday, says: “Tho following letter from Dr. Nioliolsou to Rev W. G. Wcbbe, of Fort Wayne, more fully explains the reasons for his not accepting the episcopate tendered him, and will be read with interest by the churchmen generally. The Gazette 6tates that Mr. Webbo thinks Dr. Nicholson will be reeleetod: “Philadelphia, April 3,1883, “Reverend aud Dear Brother: “By this time lam sure you havo heard of the result of your earnest endeavors to have me as your bishop, amino doubt are much disappointed.

And I wrote it because that was my solemn conviction—that I am not well enough furnished, in my head, nor strong enough in my body for such a work as Indiana offers. Also, I have my people here, and they seem so deeply devoted to me that I feared the risk of giving them up. My work Is chiefly with the young in this large and lasnionable city. For instance, each Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock I have seldom loss than 600 young m.’n and women under instruction. We have six services each Sunday, aud rarely less than 2,51)0 people in attendance each Lord’s day. On Easter we had 3,500 all daj'.

The Fourth Annual Commencement of the Central Law-School. The fourth annual commencement of the Central Law-school, held at the Grand Opera-house, last evening, was largely attended, and the exercises were of a highly interesting and entertaining character. Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch offered prayer in opening the exercises. The address, whioh was delivered by lion. Addison C. Harris, upon “Why Justice So Often Misscsthe Mark,” was the most interesting feature of tho programme. He discussed the question at considerable leugth, and In the course of his remarks sarcastically alluded to many of the common legal absurdities. The prolixity and redundancy of legal forms, the uses and abuses of law—irs objects and its transgressions--the ignorance of practitioners, were perspicuously discussed, without au.v atrempt at didacticism, and yet with a snggestiveness which had Its lesson. The history of law was briefly reviewed merely to indicate that in its principle aud general application it had remained unchanged from the tinib it had been brought over the v/aves by our remote ancestors for the regulation of the people of Jamestown. The address throughout was one of extraordinary interest, evincing careful thought and a marked familiarity with legal lore. The valedictory address was delivered by FletcherS. Hines. The subject was “The Relation Between LiW aud Ethics,” and it was oreditaoly handled. Avery entertaining feature of the programme was the excellent singing of the Apollo Quartet. The members of the graduating class were Jesse H. Blair, Ernest W. Bradford. FletcherS. Hines, James W. Leathern, Charles W. Moores, Harrison N. Wyatt, and following the valedictory address the diplomas were presented by Prof. John R. Wil6ou with appropriate remarks.

The following letter has been received from Rev. Aaron Wood, formerly chaplain of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home. The old soldier of the cross feels properly indignant at the manner in which the Democratic Legislature despoiled the orphans of thoso who died iu their country’s service: “Yountsville, Ind., April 6,1883. “lion. John Coburn: ‘•Dear Sir—l have just read the report on the subjotof the Orphans’ Home, and fully approve of the recommendation of the committee. I gave $5 and collected $45 from my congregation on the application ot Captain Atkinson, t<> purchase that land If me legal status will permit, the moral equity will justify the Governor in appointing trustees for soldiers’ orphans, with power to turn out the incumbents. Respectfully yours, Aaron Wood.” The Police Commissioners. The metropolitan polico commissioners yesterday appointed live additional Democratic patrolmen and one Republican. The Democrats were William Kellermeyer, John F. Ladd, Stillman T. Meek, William Hagedorn and Nathaniel Ward. The last named is a colored man, and was formerly a member of the preseut force. The commissioners have decirfed to detail him as a driver of the patrol wagon. Thomas W. Fiocus, of the present force, was also appointed,

mid the political complexion now stands twentysix Democrats anti twenty-two Republicans. Webb Robertson lias been dismissed on tho grouiid that he failed to pass a satisfactory medical examination. Ben Thornton, the colored policeman against whom such a determined light was made by tbe disreputable Bucktown element, which he came nearly wiping out of existence, yesterday withdrew his application. So also did Washington Cheatem. The commissioners will probably make all their appoiutmeuts to-day. _ TIIE COURT RECORD, Superior Court. Room No I—Hon, Napoleon B. Taylor, Judge. Leopold S.

Concerning Certain Reliesof the Past—Dogs that Have Had Their Day. George Stepheuson’s “Rocket,” and the magnificent locomotives of to-day, are built upon the same general principle, yet the machine with which the great engineer astonished his age, is interesting now only as an illustration of the beginning of the invention. Tuere were plasters with holes in them long before BENSON’S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER surprised both the public and the physicians; and the triumph of the Capcino is founded upon the partial successes, or the utter failures of Its predecessors. Everything of value in the old porous plaster is retained iu the Capoine; hut at this point all comparison ends, and contrast begins. For example: The old were slow iu tlicir action; the Capcmo is quick and sure. The old plasters lacked the power to do more than to impart slight, temporary reliof in cases easj* of treatment; the Capoine penetrates the system and permanently cures the troubles for which it is recommeuded. The old plasters depend for auy good results they might attain, upon an accident of their makers and the naked faith of their weurers; the Benson’s reaches its eud by means of the scientific combination or the rare medicinal ingredients which it contains. In brief, the old plasters, like Stephenson’s discarded engine, are switched off the track, while the Benson’s goes on its way winning golden opiuions from all sorts of people. Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger to the people who buy and use this reliable and scientific remedy. “Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue.” Imitation is the concession failure makes to success.
