RAILROAD FREIGHT POOLS. Efforts Making to Organize a NorthBound Pool—A pril Freight Traffic. The Wabash Express Opens Here for Busi-ness-Two Rising Railroad Men, Presidents Corbin and Rutter. KATES DEMORALIZED. Kflbrts Making: to Establish an Indianapolis North-Bound Pool. A movement is on foot to establish a northbound pool at this point. A general freight agent remarked yesterday that never before wore north bound rates so demoralized as at the present time, it not being uuueual for an agent here to cut rates 25 to 30 per cent, to secure business. For instance, the rate on lard from Indianapolis to Chicago is 10 cents per 100 pounds, and last week It was carried at 7 cents per 100 pounds. The fact is that while there are but three roads which are at present entitled to be called Chicago lines out of here, there are seven fighting for the business, namel}*, the Chicago, St. Lonln, A Pittsburg, the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, tit. lx>uis & Chicago, the Indiana. Blooming A Western, the Wabash, the Vondalia. the Indianapolis Sc St. Louis, the Chicago Sc Indianapolis Air Line. Three roads reach Chicago over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois; one, the 1., B. A W. via Danville, the others, the I. Ac St. L. •nd Vandalia connecting at Terre Haute. While In a pooling agreement the two last named eould not come in, yet without one they dabble In the business if offered to Thom. The establishment of a north bound pool need not orqpte any alarm with shippet* that rates are to be advanced, the only object being that agreed rates shall be protected, eveu if lower than present rates, J. H. RUTTER. A Sketch of His Life and Growth in Railroad Service. As James H. Rutter now comes to the head of one of the grandest systems of railroad in this country by his election to the presidency of the New York Central road, a sketch of his life will bo read with interest by readers of the Journal, many of whom are well acquainted wiih the gentleman. Mr. Ruttor has been with the road eleven years. Ills services were scoured to the New York Central by William H. Vanderbilt, and the latter has especially relied upon the experience, ability and judgment of his chief lieutenant since the death of Commodore Vanderbilt. Mr. Rutter was born in Lowell, Mass , In 1836. While ho was an infant Ills parent* removed to Providence, R. 1., where he received his edueaticu. Instead of taking a classical course, he entered the Bcholfi*ld Commercial College, wliere ho remained until the latter part of 1853. His parents removed to Elmira, N. Y., In 1850. In 1854, disregarding the purpose of his father to make him a bookkeeper, Mr. Rutter entered the freight office of the Erie railway In Elmira as a clerk. In 1655 he went to Williamsport Pa., as Mm chief clerk of the Williamsport Sc Elmira railroad, now one of the members of the Pennsylvania Railroad system. In the latter pari of 1857 he took a clerkship in the Chicago ofiice of the Lake Shore railroad, soon afterward being appointed freight agent at Chicago of the Chioago Sc Milwaukee Railroad, now a part of the Chioago Sc North western railway system. In 1860 Mr. Rutter was recalled by the Erie road to take charge of its station at Elmira, and he remained there during the civil war, supervising the transfer of troops and freight from the West by way of the Pennsylvania railroad to the seat of war. In 1864 he was promoted to the freight agency or the Erie road at Buffalo, and in 1806 he became assistant general freight agent of the road. While in this position, having special charge of the local business of the road, he intruded the attention of W. H. Vanderbilt, who induced hi* fether to appoint him general freight agent of the New York Central. In 1877 Mr. Rutter was made a director of the Central, and was given supervision of Hie entire business of the route as general traffic! manager. His promotion was due to his skill in luanauiug the New York Centra', during the great railroad war of 1876. In 1880 the position of third viepresident was taken by Mr. Ruttor, and he has remained in that office ever aiuoe.

GENERAL NEWS. Another Friend to Poole -Harmony of the Trunk Lines In Jepardy. The editor of the new railroad paper bearing the title of the “Railway Passenger Agent’* comes out strongly in favor of passenger as well as freight pools. He says; “While the revenue derived from freight earnings is so largely in excess of that derived froiu passenger earnings that, at first sight, it would seem as if the completion of the freight pool should receive the first consideration, there exists such a close relationship between both branches of the service, as affecting the general standingof competing lines with one another, that neither serrioe can have prominence over the other in considering the permanent formation of a pool. For this reason it would seem to be extremely nnfortu pate that Mr. Fink is unable to give special and particular attention to the passenger pool until it is able to stand alone. At present it is still In its swaddling clothes, and it will need the most careful nursing to plaoo it properly upon its feet.*’ A Bed Beginning. From the East, the North ami the Went come complaints that the Toledo, Cincinnati & flt. Bouts road is slaughtering rates unmercifully, and has taken iu as partners the Lake Erie A Western and the Chicago A Alton road*. When the road was built it was understood that it was built n.ore to do local business than as a through line, yet at the very onset the management enters the field for through business to the neglect of their local traffic. Railroad men of experience who are lookers on express surprise that while the road is short of engines and cars to handle their local business they should ignore that and take a hand In through business, from which a much less revenue Is derived. As the road is narrow-gauge aud is an experiment in this section, great caution should be exercised that serious mistakes are not made. Mr. Vanderbilt’s Retirement. In speakiugof William H. Vanderbilt's retiring from the presidency of the three great Vanderbilt properties, the New York Graphic says: “It marks an important epoch iu the history or American railroads. flo long as this great system was managed by one bead, unity es management was to *•* expected, and the kind of management calculated to yield the largest returns to stockholders. Now that the management passes Into other hands, wider interests come in, and a continuous harmony is much less probable. Increasing competition as the outcome of the rapid multiplication of new lines will render it more difficult to maintain rates and control traffic than wheu the roads wero ail under one houd.” Introducing Heavier Engines. The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne A Chicago company have at last put In service on iheir line a new locomotive of the class “I,** which is one of live to be constructed for use on this road. The engine is a monster, that makes no pretensions to beauty, but is a huge piece of machinery for good work. It is a “consolidated engine,” weighing 97.000 pounds, lias four drivers on each side, pony trucks in front, the cvliuders being 20 by 20 inches. It moved off with a train of sixty loaded cars, on Put unlay l iar, as readily as an ordinary engine does with twenty-five cars. New Baggage Kale Adopted. New York, May 7.—The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati A Bt. Louis, and Vandalia line udopted a new' rule in regard to baggage, which goes Into effect on Juno 1. After that date no single piece of baggage weighing more than 250 pounds will be accepted for transportation In baggage enrs. This will rcouire Mine to weigh baggage, and the traveling public will bo promptly on time. New Railroad Managements. Ciiicaoo, May 7.—The Times will say: “The tripartite agreement has been consummated, the parties to which are the Atchison, Topeka A Bantu Fc, flt. Louis A flan Francisco, and Atlantic A Pacific railways. Under the agreement a controlling interest in the flt loiilh A Ban Francium road Is secured to the Atlantic A Faoifle, the latter agreeing to stop the construeit,on of its lino west of the Colorado river for the ’ but to ha permitted to proceed to the

completion of work eventually to the Paciflo coast, making San Francisco the western terminus a* originally eon tempi a ted. Should the agreement be faithfully kept by the other parties, the Atlantic & Pacific will not be permitted to reaoh Ban Francisco for the full term of the contract, which is twenty years, and the controlling Interest which It has secured in the St. Louis and San Francisco is practically a stoppage of the extension of that line and equivalent to a merger of its franchises in the Atlantic Sc Pacific. The connections of this line to the Pucifio coast will be from the Colorado river over a branch of the Soutnern Pacific and by the main line to Ban Francisco and Los Angeles. The new arrangement goes Into effect at once. Miscellaneous Notes. The Massachusetts Central was turned over to the trustees last Saturday, the Boston Sc Lowell road agreeing to operate it. During the month of April 5,855 loaded freight oars passed East through the Hoosac Tunnel, as against 4,472 for the corresponding month in 1882. The Public makes the point that the inability of speculating railroad managers to unload tlmir stocks may avert a war of rates, and there is quite as much force as there ought to be iu the observation. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Houston Sc Texas Central railroad took place yesterday. Nearly all the stock was represented, nnd the vote was unanimous for the re-election of the old board of directors. The Mobile & Alabama Grand Trunk railroad! was bought at foreclosure sale for $350,000 by j George A rent 2, Edward R. Bacon amt P. D. | Barker, of New' York, and D. S. Parker, of Mobile, purchasing trustees for the bondholders. The rumor Is again current that the Chicago. ' Burlington A Quincy road are buying stock of I the Lake Erie Sc Western road, and propose to | Iniild a connecting link ami make it tneir Eastern outlet. Os course all the rumors are set ailoat to bull the stock of the L. E. Sc VV. The restoration of the fast train between Denver ami Kansas City, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa I*>, will bo followed by faster service on the Union Pacific and Burlington routes. There is no objection to this, for better time could be made on nearly all of tbe Western lines, without iuconvenieure to the companies ami with Immense advantage to the people. The new train placed on the Boston A Albany road on Sunday, which is to be known as the fast New York special, makes tile-journey of 278 miles in six minutes less than six hours, or at the rate of over forty-six miles an hour. Heretofore the fastest regular time made between New York and Boston, or between Boston Sc New York, lias been six hours. It made but six stops during tue entire journey. The New York Post says that statements purporting to give the terms or combination between the East Tennessee and other roads are without official foundation. No basis has yet been agreed upon, and the primary objects of the inventory of East Tennessee and other railroads and Mr. Gould’s tour of inspection are essential preliminaries to the definite conclusion of any compact. Notlong positive will be known or done till Mr. Gould returns. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Au6tiu Corbin Coining to the Front as a Railroad Man. Col. William Shaw, general agent of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road, left for hta new western fluid yesterday. Uls wife accompanied him. President John Scott, of the Cincinnati, Now Orleans Sc Texas Pacific, has been elected vicepresident of the Vicksburg Sc Meridian road. Mr. Bcott succeeds Fred. Woiffe. H. J. Jewett, president of the Erie and the Cincinnati, Hamlltou Sc Daytoq lines, was in Cincinnati yesterday, looking after matters connected with the C., H. Sc D. lines. Whether he will visit Indianapolis or not was not decided last evening. W. H. Prouty, assistant general passenger agent of the Indiana. Bloomington A Western road, returned yesterday from a trip over the Manitoba road. Mr.Prouty is loud in his praises of the country through which the road passes and of the road and its passenger equipments, their sleeping coaches being the finest run iu this country. Austin Corbin, president of the Indiana, Bloomington A Western road, is fast coming to to the front as a railroad man and financier. He has shown his ability by what he has done with the 1., B. A W. and the Long Island railroad. Ho has brought up both to positions which Invite confidence. The Long Island property of necessity is incapable of luucu expansion, but It needed extensive improvements and skillful management, both of which it has received. The Tudlanu, Bloomington A Western could be developed to u considerable extent and tiiis lias been done, as when Mr. Corbin took hold of the property the road was but 212 miles long, now the company operates 810 miles of roan well equipped iu every respect.

Local Notes. The Red Fast Freight Line people are boasting loudly that they lauded a shipment of lumber from Indianapolis in Moutreal In five days. It is spoken of as being fast time. The five Western roads in the week ending May 5, brought into Indianapolis 3,598 loaded cars and during the corresponding week in 1882, 3,975 loaded ours; decrease this year, 377 oars. The chioago, Sr. Louis A Pittsburg Railroad Company and rearranging aud putting iu additional tracks at their yard* in Logau&port, to accommodate the rapidly increasing business on that division. Paymaster Allen, or the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, pays at tills point to-day for April service; on the St. Louis division Wednesday; on the Peoria division Thursday; on the middle division Friday, on Ohio division flaUirduy, and ou tho Ohio flout hern Monday next. Several of the Indianapolis roads have adopted as a standard length for ordinary side tracks 1,500 feet. From this is to bo deducted to allow trains to clear each other iu passing 1 lo feet at each end of 'bo switch where the stub-switch is used, and 130 feet at euou end where the splitswitch is used. Tuere is excellent authority for the statement that the Erie A North Shore is to be the leading line on the Jay Gould roads, and will operate over the southwestern Ones as well us the Wabash road proper, as soon as arnunrementw can bo perfected. The equipment of the line is to be largely increased, aud its facilities for moving business as well. John Thomas, urcsident, and General Buper In tends nt Kennedy, of the Bloomfield A Bedford road, yesterday started on trip of inspection of the route of the proposed extension of the B A B. road to Seymour, and to Columbus, as w r ell. It is stated that while the Seymour route oouid he the more easily built, townships on the proposed line to Columbus show a disposition to furnish more aid In a financial way. Messengers of the Wabash, flt. Louis A Pacific ami flt. Louis Express Company commetioed i mining into Indianapolis yesterday. Five express companies now do business here; namely, the American, the Adams, the Baltimore A Ohio, the United States, and the Wabash. Toe United Slates and the Wabash will occupy the same office, aud C. A. Phillips has been appointed Joint agent. Tlie same delivery men will deliver tiie freight, carrying two books. I). F. Whitcomb, superintendent of the Union Railway Company, has issued the following rules for the government of traius: Rule 1. Engineers will be required to so regulate their fires as to prevent their engines from smoking or blowing off steam while iu the depot, or within 200 leet of saqjc. This oaii readily bo accomplished by careful use of blower, air-pump and proper firing. Rule 2. Tho sounding of too whistle, except to prevent accident or iu cases of emergency, is positively prohibited. Saloon keepers and their friends at I.ogansport are endeavoring to belittle the ability of Charles Watts, superintendent of the two divisions terminating there, as a set-off against the rules he strictly enforce against employes visiting saloons aud gambling places. What tin y iky, however, will imiko liule difference with Mr Watts’s superior officers, who approve of the course lie pursues, and the ciuplo} es are now thanking Mr. Watts for tightening the reins oil them, as many who never before in their lives laid up any money are getting respectable sums ahead. Below is given the number of cars received and rorwarded Ht ilds point over the Imlbiu ipolii roads iu the mouth of April, 1883, and in the corresponding mouth for the four preceding years: Total. Loaded. 1879 50,057 40,784 1880 01,208 40,007 18sl 79,385 07,124 1882 77,371 01,771 1883 79,207 07,199 From fle above statement 11 will be seen that in April this year 6,248 more loaned cars were bundled than In April, 1882, and only in 1881 was there a larger movement than in April. 1883, and in that cose but 105 mure loaded cars were bandit ti. GkohOß W. Cox, Logunspot t, used Brown’s Iron Bitters sucocsfully for a severe pain in his breast.

THE INDIANAPOJLLS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1883.

STATE SOCIAL SCIENCE. Annual Meeting of tlie Association—Addresses by Governor Porter, Rev. N, A. Hyde und Others. The session of the Indiana State Social Science Association opened last night and will continue to morrow. The meetings are held in the First Presbyterian Church, and all friends of social order and reform aro cordially invited to attend the meetings, and the admittance is free. The session last evening opened with an address by Governor A. G. Porter, who stated that he had come with no prepared remarks, having just returned from a tour the object of whioh was the locating of hospitals for the insane—tbe founding of suitable homes for a class of unfortunate* many of whom are now stowed away in poor-houses. He noticed that the Boclal Soience Association had at rimes discussed a great variety of topics—that even the tariff and savings hanks had received the attention of the association. He believed that the habit of saving should be encouraged; that the habit of saving small sums, among children and working people, would do mote for temperance than could be done in any other way. It is the heat safeguard against vice and it is* the Governor suid, the greatest in sfortune of the State that wo have no sound savings-bank system for poor men and women und children to save money against the evil times that are sure to come every fifteen or eighteen years. He thought that something might be done iu the way of affording a safe investment for this class of savings by the government, if bonds were Issued in small amounts to represent these savings. The Governor also spoke at some length of the foolishness and waste that often attended private benefactions, and wished that some wise man would write a hook hs to the best means to take care of them. Ho hoped that this prolific and exhaust less subject will form the theme for an evening’s discussion. Following the Governor's address was on address from Rev. N. A. Hyde, president or the association, who called to mind that last night's meet lug was the filth anniversary of the formation of the association, which at. first whs devoted to local charity and local work, but now occupied a broader field,and was always moving ami urging practical methods of reform Tor the improvemect of humanity. Mr. E. \V. Halford read a paper or. “The Social Aspect of the Newspaper,” showing wliat the press had been, what it is and what it will be as a civilizing force. The paper was Mien discussed, Mr. P. D. Hammond leading iu the discussion. The programme for to day is as follows: 10 a. m. Business meeting, election of officers. 2 l*. m. Paper—" Care of Incurably Insane,” by Dr. J. G Rogers. 3:30 i*. at. Paper—“ Prison Reform.” by Charles F. Coffin, Kiohmoud. 8. p. m. Address—“Trap* for the Young, or Foes to Moral Purity,” by Anthony Comstock, seoretarv of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, New York city. RELIEF WORK CONTINUED. What the Board of Trade Committee Are Doing with tlie Funds on Hand. The Indianapolis Board of Trade Relief Committee has not yet finally closed its work, and it is now four months sinoe it began its charitable labors. During the last six weeks Mr. W. P. Gallup and Mr. Horaces. Watson have been almost constantly employed making investigations in oases where applications have been received from persons along the Ohio river for aid. People who wore not.damaged In the least by the flood have endeavored to obtain financial aid from the committee and careful discrimination has been required iu the distribution of the fuud. In one iuatuuoe a man in the most deplorable circumstances applied for money to liquidate a mortgage ou his home, and hU neighbors strongly urged his petition, hut the committee, in juatioe to their trust, refused assistance, as his misjortunes had not resulted from the flood, although it was a oiiarity-deserv-ing case. The committee are still lu dully receipt of letters from people claiming to bp flood sufferers, and some of tue appeals for aid are of a uuturo to stir the charity or any person at all susceptible; but the investigations show that they nearly ail come from undeserving persons. About, three weeks ago a letter was received from Madison, stating that several hundred persons iu that vicinity were in the greatest distress, and that they bad been wholly neglected by ihe relief com mit tees. A remittance of $6,000 was asked. Messrs. Gallup and Watson went to Madison, and in tiieir investigations failed to find t iat there was any suffering or destitution resulting from the flood. The work of the committee will probably be finally closed this week, uud a detailed statement of their la bora will then be given the publio.

AMUSEMENT MATTERS. CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS IN THK GRAND. Manager Oicksou has about decided to make some extensive alterations In the seating arrangements of tiie Grand Opera-house before tlie beginning of next season. The two rows of velvet chairs en the sides will be token out, and open-fashion boxes, with four easy chairs in each, will be substituted for them. These will not ho enclosed, further than by a silver railing, and they will be carpeted with Turkirh rugs and otherwise embellished. The lenther-oovered seats in tiie parquette will also be taken out and sofa chairs put iu. It is also probable that tho lobby will be shut off by heavy curtains, which will be highly ornamented. aud will shut off the noise from tho doors, as well us prevent loafers from standing behind the railing during performances. The present business office will be converted into a ladles reception room, and another office fitted up on the secoud floor above the entrance. Alt the attaches of ilie house will wear uniforms next season. With these improvements tho Grand will iucreaae its popularity, which is already great. BOM* VERY VINE WRITING. “The Naiad Queen" is to be reproduced at the Graud next week, and the suiuii bills which call attention to the engagement are about the most glowing things imaginable, as the following excerpt will testify: Lust rendition of tiie wondrous fairy pageant, “Tiie Naiad Queen;" 409 performers enact Us wondrous scenes, living eagles carry children on their backs, living figures rise from stormy ocean depths, living fairies descend from heaven io rescue lost children, on a mighty eagle liberty descends from realms of air. Personated by living characters, Night aud Morning float upon fleecy clouds through luid-air; hundreds of Luries seen iu sylvan dells and glittering grottoes amid showers of silver and gold, moving waters, sailing boats, sinking rocks; tempestuous storms, grandest tableaux ever looked upon by human eyes, most gorgeous scenery aud marvelous effects over displayed in America. Come to the capital city and wit ness such a scene of grand hanscendentcur and Rinnslng elaborateness ns your eyes iuav never look upon again," etc., etc. The man who wrote that bill has mistaken his vocation; he should be advance agent for a circus. Particular attention is hereby called to that word, “Transcendentcur," the original copy of which is framed in a Queen Anne design iu this office. TIIK ZOO THIS WEEK. The Zoo was packed to tho walls last night, and (he performance was received with much enthusiasm. It commenced with tho sensational drama, “Bwifi and Hure,” iu which Minnie Oscar Gray ami W. T. Stephens and their trained dogs took leading parts, fallowed by a good olio, iu which Air Gibson and Li/xie Davis did a very clever sketch. Hawkins and Collins were very fnnnv hi u black-face sketch, and the other specialties included tiie efforts of Belie Cushing, John Brooks and Otto Spiueman, pugilists, and Raker and Doyle. The show is deserving of patronage. NOTE*. Assistant Manager Anderson, of English's, has gono East for the summer. Ida fliddon’s female minstrels will be at the Park Theater the latter part of next week. Muc.ii Interest is being manifested in tiie forthomning presentation of “Fra Diavolo" At the Grand, Friday and HsUirday evenings, next by tho Indianapolis Opera Company, aud the frequent. rehearsals indicate that, the opera will be given in excellent style. William Castle, the itsU-kiiuwu leuor of the Abbott Opera Company,

will assume the leading role, and Mr*. Enrique Miller, Mrs. Leon Hailey, Mr. Charles Foster aud other local celebrities are in the cast. And now they are talking of having a dramatic festival at Cincinnati next year, with Booth, Irving, Salvinl, McCullough, Barrett, Bernhardt. Morris, Anderson and Rhea as the stars. When those Cincinnati people start to do anything in this line, they do it. The representatives of the Tndtanapolls pre*s who attended the dramatic festival at Cincinnati, are under obligations to Mr. Hall, the secretary of the association, for courtesies extended. That gentleman’s efforts in behalf of the festival contributed very materially to its success. THE COURT RECORD, Superior Court. Ronm No. I—Hon, Napoleon B. Taylor, Jules.
