THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS. Arbitrator Adams Sends His Decision to the St. Louis Freight Men. Improvement* Making by the Pennsylvania People—Possible Troubles with the Passenger Pool. Personal Points. W. R. McKeen, president, and Colonel Hill# superintendent of the Vandaliu, are to be in the city today. Chief Engineer Becker, of the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg road, is spending a couple of days at this end of the liue. E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Bee Line# and James McCrea, manager of the Chicago# St. Louis and Pittsburg lines, are expected In the city to-day. W. T. Howard, who, for fourteen years past has run into this city as a messenger of the American Express Company, has resigned and goes to Kansas City to engage In busiuess. H. B. McClellan, who has just been appointed general eastern passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, with headquarters at New York, has bad his duties enlarged so as to embrace the Wabash system. John Sessions, late agent of the Indiana, Bloomington fc Western road at this point, yesterday removed his family to Columbus# O. Since Mr. Sessions took the agency of the I , B. A W. at Columbus their West-bound business has steadily increased. A. J. Cassatt, formerly first rice-president of the Pennsylvania road, returned Saturday last from Europe, and already the rumor is current that- be is to take the presidency of the Denver A Rio Grande, but lie tells his most intimate friends that he will take no position on any road. Several changes took effect, yesterday, on the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago road. William Marshall assumed the duties of division superintendent; H. W. Barclay the position of agent of the L., N. A. <fc Chicago at Louisville, and Mr. Parsons that of general Southern agent of the company. Homer Snodgrass, who for twenty years was a conductor on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, died at Lafayetre, Saturday last, an utter wreck. Every man who knew him was his friend. He was genial and charitable to a fault. He was his only enemy. Whisky had the best of bun for four years past. The offices of rhe United States and Pacific Express companies, at St. Louis, were merged lino one yesterday, and will hereafter be in oharge of Joseph Temple, of the Pacific company, D. T. Parks, who lias represented the Uodited States company for twenty years, retiring to look after private interests in the West. The many friends of J. M. Ferris, general manager of the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio,will be pleased to learn that nnder the new order of things he is to remain in that position. A circular from President Jewett says that F. E Hitman, formerly treasurer of the N. Y., P. A O , is made assistant treasurer of the New York, Lake Erie A Western. J. G. Everest, the genial and active passenger agent of the Chicago. Milwaukee & Sr. Paul road, is in the city. By-the-bye this road proposes to get more business for the Northwest thi* season than it has In years past from this section, and Mr. Everest is distribution at the local offices an elegantly-prepared work of 102 pages, highly embellished, showing up the various attractions and summer pleasure resorts to ne found on this extended system of roads. Oonlea of this eleganw hook, full of valuable information, can be obtained at any of the railway Dfiices. Local Notes. The directors of the Belt road hold their regular monthly meeting to-day. Twelve Wabasli engineers were discharged last week in consequence of dull times. The Wabash company liavo inaugurated a black list for protection against persons who sell their 1,000 mile or special ticket. In the month of April 20,811 cars were transferred over the Belt road, against 22,621 In the corresponding month 1882. Decrease this year, 1,810 ears. The Traders' Dispatch opened for business, yesterday, at this point. J. V. Stanbery. agent, scoured <>n nis maiden way-bill a car load of lumber, consigned to a Boston party. Superintendent Turner, of rhe Indianapolis A Vincennes road, yesterday sold engine No. 5, the flrar engine run over the I AV. mid, to parties owning a stone quarry at Newpoint, Ind. Offlcert* of the railways and of the lake craft an* making an off >rt to .harmonize their issues and keep lake freights from running into the profitless rut of past years, and it is likely to succeed. It. is stared Mint an order will be issued to-day or 10-tiKMTow by the Boe Linn management to thseffect that hereafter all East-bound uticonfigned business shall be forwarded as White Line freights. President Young, of the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago road has Taken an advance step In railroad operations bv ordering that no freight, passenger or excursion trains shall be run on that road on Sunday, Railroad, as well ns other business men, need the seventh day for rest. Edward Cost, who has been appointed agent of the Lackawanna line at this point# aud who •was to have opened for business yesterday, reeetved a telegram from general Manager Smith to let matters remain in statue quo for eight or ten days, flow to get to Indianapolis is what is worn*ing Manager Smith Just now. One of the most novel features of late in railroad transportation is the shinning of several car-loads per week of sawdust from Indianapolis to Chicago. It is hickory and oak sawdust manufactured at the Woodbui n-Surven Wheel-works, and is ued for smoking meats, and commands sub a price us to justify shipping it sonic 200 miies. Car accountants of roads centering here# yesterday, received very neatly gotten up passes from the Lehigh Valley company, over which road they can go from Buff alo to Philadelphia, arrangements having been made to pass the. car accountants and their wiv* s from Bethlehem, the southern terminus of the L. V. road, fifty-six miles, to Philadelphia. The monthly report of George W. Cobb, secretary of t he Indianapolis Railroad Christian Association, shows t hat in April there were 363 visitors to the mom, four religious services were held, and he made thirty-four visits to offices and the homes of sick and injured rallrosd men, distributing 125 books and magazines. Three vaiuuhlobooks were added to the library. The earnings of the Louisville, Now Albanv A Chicago ro and for three weeks in April, ending on the 24tti, were as follows: Passengers, $19,272.8d; freight, $71,221.95; total, $90,494 80. Total earnings in February# 1883. $76,568.85. Total earnings in April, 1883, $77,267.20. Increase for t lie first three weeks iti April, 1883, over the entire mouth of April, 1882, sl3, 22760. ' The Pennsylvania people arp quire determined this time to get the bridge over White river at this point so high that in the future floods will give them no troubto. Four stone abutments are being put in upon winch the bridge will rest, and will he four feet liighi r than when standing on the old abutments, and the work of grading tin the track of the approaches to the bridge is as well in progress. The sales of tickets at the Union Depot and uptown Union Railway offices for April foot up some $22,000 a head of tin* sales of the corresponding month, 1882, As it is claimed that the ticket scalpers last in -nth sold more tickets than did the outside offices which were open in April# 1882, it Is quite evident that passenger business over Indianapolis lines in April this year was much heavier than in 1882. Trains commenced running, yesterday, over the Chicago and Atlantic road between Marion and Huntington, and the road is practically ■opened for business the entire length. Through pa-HPiiger trains will go on June 1. Frmu a Bee Line official it is learned that the C A A.fis preparing to pin in an extensive system of tracks at Marion, and will make connection at that point with the Bee Line as well as with its direct eastern outlet, tho N. Y., P. A O. General News. L. O Coffin, a farmer, has been appointed Railroad Commissioner of lowa, in place of James Wilson, who was elected to Congress. A couide of engines of the poverty-stricken Danville, OlneyA Ohio River road, have been "Sent to Terre Haute by tho receiver to ho generally repaired. The conductors on the Alabama Great Southern railroad have resigned on account of General Manager Bcot.t demanding thut they execute a bond in rheNorth American Guarantee Company# ■of Canada. The recent order by the Missouri Pacific to its gents to stop honoring tickets or baggage * hecks of the Gulf. Colorado A Manta Fa Kail•oad in Texas, went into oflect yesterday, aud

the probabilities are that the rupturo between these roads will extend to freight as well as passenger business. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company spent last year over if. 7,000,000 in new construction, and in their annual report told their stockholders that they should probably have to spend quite as much as that during the current year. Thus far this year 973 miles of new railroad has been built against 1,876 miles reported at the corresponding time in 1882, 906 miles in 1881, and 1,096 miles in 1880, 391 miles in 1879, 267 miles In 1878, and 209 miles in 1877. The Boston A Albany is probably, to use an expressive Western phrase, one of the “best fixed” corporations in the United States. Its capital is $20,000,000; its debt Is $10,858,000, of which $5,000,000, at 7 per cent., is due in 1892, and $2,000,000, at 6 per cent., is due three years later. All of this not cancelled from earnings can doubtless be refunded at 4 to 5 per cent, at maturity. The surplus earnings above fixed charges the past five years have averaged nearly sl,800,000, a large percentage of which has gone into improvements. The stock of this road was never watered. TIIE BOSS CAR-COUPLER. R. M. Brooks, a mechanic at Atlanta, Ga., has invented a perfect automatic oar-coupler. It is now in use on two Southern roads and performing satisfactorily, and a company with SIOO,OOO capital has been organized to introduce it generally. The principle of Mr. Brooks’s patent Is that it is a self-acting coupler that uses the common pin and link In which the link is allowed free action in all directions, so as to accommodate itself, without strain, to tlie swiug of the cars, and in fact that works pint as the link In old style couplers, a coupler that is adaptable to any style cars without change in their construction. The car-eounler problem has been one of trouble and perplexity. The Patent Office shows over 2,000 imitations of automatic couplers, and out of alt this number only three or four have had the slightest possible merit. Ever since railroads were invented, men have lost their lives coupling cars, and it is estimated that a greater percentage of accidents occur to this class of railroad employes than to any other, and if Ihe Brown coupler is what it Is reputed to be, laws should be passed enforcing its use on ail roads in tlie country. MANAGER M’oRKA’S PROGRAMME. The Pennsylvania Company expect to get their new second oity freight depot completed and ready for occupancy by July 1. Then the programme is to do all the freight business of the Indianapolis A Vincennes, and of the Jeffersonville, Madison A Indianapolis road in the new dopor, and that of the C., St. L. A P. In the present city depot. All I. A V. and J., M. AI. freight trains arc to be run over the Belt road on reaching the city, to the C., Bt. L. A P. yards, in the eastern part of the city, and then delivered at tlie depots and lower yards as called for. The system of tracks in the outer j'ards is to be greatly extended, and when all contemplated improvements are com Dieted, at no point on the Pennsylvania system will tho facilities for handling business be e qualed. The old J., M. A I. depot and round-house will lie torn down, and the engines of the J., M. A 1., the T. A V. and the C., St. L. A P. will be housed in the new ronnd-bouse to lie built immediately in the eastern part of the city. The present J., M. A I. yards will be used probably for the accommodation of local business. Cars loaded with lumber, stone, wood, etc., consigned to parties in tne city, will be left there to be unloaded. Manager McCrea and Chief Engineer Becker seem determined to make improvements here which have been greatly needed for twenty years or more. SOME DELICATE POINTB YET TO BE SETTLED. The new passenger pool contract entered Into at the New York meeting, last week, includes several additional differential fare points. Among these are Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Kansas City, Atchison, Council Bluffs and other points in tho Missouri Valley, the rate to be based upon the present system. A question, however, still remaining to lie settled, and in regard to which there is considerable diversity of opinion, is whether the weaker lines, that is, those which off< r inferior facilities in respect to time and accommodations, or newly-opened routes, such as the I , B. A W., the C., H. A D., the Chicago A Atlantic, shall be permitted to increase their facilities sb as to bring them into more favorable competition with the stronger lines. This is the rock on which the split will take place if such a tiling occurs. A resolution was introduced Into iinn of the meetings providing that the time should be increased on some of the roads, while the others, such as the Pennsylvania and New York Central should not be permitted to change their present running time. This met with strenuous opposition from the roads in question and their connecting lines, since they would prefer to have the power to increase, tiieir facilities at will. The new contract is based upon the old one, and the differences in regard to the division of the pool earnings for the past six months’ business are amicably settled by an agreement that a fund, consisting of 20 per cent, of the surplus earnings of the larger lines, shall be divided to make up the deficiency in the allotted receipts of the weaker lines in such proportions as Commissioner Fink shall thiikk.juse when lie makes the final award. THE PITH OP ARBITRATOR ADAMS*B ARGUMENT. The general freight agents of the five roads interested in the east-bound live-stock pool out of East St. Louis have each been furnished with a copy of the decision of Arbitrator Adams, under which decision the per cents, were published some days ago in the Journal, and accompanying Ids decision is a lengthy argument giving the grounds on which it was based, the principal points of which are condensed in the following two paragraphs. Mr. Adams says: While tiie Alton, tne Wabash, and the I. A Bt. L. do not seem to be clearly unequal to each other, the Vandalia does, apparently, at least for the pit-sent, have an appreciable advantage over each of them. This appears very decidedly in the traffic returns, and seems to run through them to an extent and with a degree of uniformity which I do not think ought to be disregarded. While the local traffic of this line is excellent, it is also the central, short and direct route to Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New Yotk at Jersey City and Baltimore. It must, in fact, be considered a natural competing route to every conceivable destination of St. Louis live stock, except Chicago and New Eugiaud. When the principle of equality was applied to the four Bt. Louis lines in preparing the award of 1879, my recollection is that the Vandulia was tiie line in regard to which t lie arbitrators entertained most doubts. The position and direct and close connections of tiie Vandalia would have justified them in giving it a preference. Conceding a certain present advantage to the Vandalia, therefore, it remains to in some way measure it. It claim is for 30 per cent, of the traffic, whioh would leave 60 per cent, for the other three lines. According to the statistics of the last three years tiie Vandalia Uas carried 27 per cent, of the traffi •, though during that time it claims to have been out of the market, though long under the direction of tiie commissioner. In 1882 it. seems to have carried, or turned over to others, 3L per cent. Nevertheless, the advantage, which this line now enjoys over its competitors does not. seem to be so great or ho certain to continue ah its representatives think. Taking I per cent. In its favor from the other three lines would, it seems to me, be approximately fair, and result in a practical apportionment likely to cause as little general dissatisfaction as auy which could be suggested. CONSTRUCTION FUNDS PROVIDED FOR. Philadelphia, May I.—The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company acted upon the question of providing the means necessary to puy for construction and equipment expenditures upon the lines cast of the Pittsburg A Erie for the present year, and for tho construction of additional branch and auxiliary lines, aggregating $10,000,000. A portion of this expense is proyidud for by resolutions ordering a 4 per cent, stuck dividend# awl iu order to obtain the remaining funds the directors negotiated a loan of $5,000,000, the loan to be in tiie shape of 4h per cent, collateral trust bonds of the company, due in thirty years. The entire amount was taken by Drexcl A Cos, gould’s movements. ST. Louts, May I.—Jay Gould and party left for an inspection of the Iron Mountain railroad and Southwestern system at noon to-day in a special train of live official coaches. The party is substantially the same as left New York. Infoi mation was refused us to the route, but the cars are provisioned for twenty days, and a trip into Mexico over the International is probable. Gould's deposition was taken in the case of Nelson vs. the Missouri Pacific railroad# at the instance of the plaintiff, in the office of the general attorney of the Gould system. Tiie matter at issue is possession of the Poplar-street connecting track, but the examination look a wide range. Gould was on the atunil nearly two hours. _________________________ "Diamond Dyes will color anything any color# and never fail. The easiest, and beit way to economize. 10 cents, at all druggists.

Last night 500 ladies and gentlemen, forming the “best” society of Vienna, assembled in tho palace of the Germnn ambassador, Prince Keues, to witness the performance of a comic operetta, which has been a topic of interest for some time among thoe concerned In it. The operetta is called “Ten Girls and No Husband.” Both words and musio are by Viennese authors. A father has ten girls, who ate ull pretty, and whose talents have been carefully developed in every possible direction, so that, they are even prepared to turn soldiers if need be. The part of the father was played by Prince Lichtenstein. Tho daughters were impersonated by tho Princesses Auersperg and Kinsky, the young Princess Motternich, the Baroness Rothschild, and six more young ladles of equal rank. Tiie Princess Pauline Motternich had undertaken the part of a pert chambermaid, who mimics tiie drolleries of her master and mistress. There was a round of enthusiastic applause when the ten high-born ladies appeared in ttio uniform of an old Vienna crack regiment, and performed military evolutions at tiie command of their droll father, while the chambermaid was beating tiie drum. There is a scene in which each girl shows her special talent# which is different iu each of the ten. Thus, the Baroness Rothschild recited a comic monologue, the Countess Wi’/.eh sang a comic air, Hurt the young Princess Metternleh danced a czardas, the national dance of the Hungarians. The Emperor was the only member of the imperial fuuiily who, being in Vienna, was not present at this unique performance. The Picture Hale. The picture sale at H. Ltebur A Co.’s, yesterday, was fairly attended, tbongo the prices received were extremely low. Among tho paint tugs sold were “On the Lehlgb,” “Lake Brieuz,'

Eva Sparks is little more than sixteen years old. A majority of girls are as bright as she at eleven or twelve years of age. It doesn’t appear that she has had a fair start in tbe world. Her father is dead ami her mother is an inmate of the Female Prison, sent there some months ago for stealing a horse. Eva Sparks’s orphaned condition has been no safeguard to her, and she is now suing Ezekiel Roberts, a saloon keeper on Virginia avenue, a few doors below Maryland street, for bastardy. She alleges that Roberts, who has wine rooms connected with his place, induced her to drink and then outraged her. Roberta is nbotit forty years old, married, and has several children. The case is ou trial before Esquire J. M. Johnston. Sick and bilious headache, and all derangements of stomach and bowels cured by Dr. Pierce’s “Pellets,” or anti-bilious granules.

There have always been quacks; legal quacks, theological quacks, scientific quacks and medical quacks. Some of them are bland, oily fellows who argue and smile the world into believing in their favorite bit of humbug. Others aio pompous ami pretentious parasites. But they make it pay. Men seem to love to be swindled, stipulating only that it shall be ueatly done. Tiie dear public are equally liberal to the electric and magnetic fraud. This fellow is a genius in his line. He wilt put a magnetic belt around your waist, a magnetic necklace under your chin, or fit you out with an entire suit of magnetic clothes, warranted to serve tho purpose of ordinary garments, and at the same time to euro all diseases, from whooping-cough to hasty consumption. Most of those have no nidß electrio or magnetic power üboiit them tliajyresides in woolen blankets or in girdles of saoMsiotti. Only when applied by an expert is electricity of the slightest use as a medicinal agent, and even then its value is grossly over stated.
