RATES TO BE RESTORED.] A Meeting to Be Called to Attend to the Matter. snippers Tell a Frdglif Official Their Grievmhw*- The Hllbar<l Interview Worrying: Vamlalla Competitor*. BABBBNGSB >IKN An Important Meeting: to Be Held in Indian apollh Soon. Arrangements are In progress for an Important meeting at luiiiunapoiiis on the 23d or 24th of this month. The general manager of sne of the Indianapolis s.v stems, says Indianapolis has become notorious ns a passenger rate-cnttlng point. Rates are cut to the East, the West, the North anil the Smith, and this meeting 1* entiled to take some action to put a stop to this mode of doing business. Presidents, general managers and general passenger agents of the more important mails, including* the trunk lines, are MSked to attend or send Home representative who can take definite action, and it is expected that 8. P. Pierson, trunk-line passenger commissioner, will be here, and it is proposed to test ore rates to tariff all through this section, and then take such notion us shall insure their maintenance. DISC lUMI N’ATI ON, Couference Between Grain Men and a General Freight Agent. It is an excellent idea for a general freight •gent once in a while to look over bis field and ■ee what, cun be done for the benefit of shippers over his line, and learn their grievances ts they have any. Last week Edgar Hills, freight agent of the Bee Line system,and who is as good a inau for the position ns the Bee Line people could have* spent a couple of days in Indianapolis and had u talk with some of the grain men who are not feeling kindly toward this road, and there was some plain talk, several grain dealers saying to Mr. Hills that so long as the Beo Line discriminated against Indianapolis by giving a throe to aeven cent lower through rate from points west of Indianapolis to tlie East than they will proportionately from Indianapolis proper,Just eo long would the gram dealers forward their business by competing roads of the Bee Line where the same eastern points can he reached. In answer u* the remark that the Indiana, Bloomington A Western were doing the same hind of business the grain dealers denied It, stating that H. O. Diehl did issue an order much of that character when the middle division was opened for business, but it was a deoil letter. Mr. Diehl finding that it did not meet with favor, never attempted to enforce such a discrimination. The talks Mr. Hills had with the grain dealers will increase the business of the Bee Line and benefit Indianapolis shippers, if Mr. Hills acts as the tone|of ills conversation indies ted that lie would. MAKING A GOOD RECORD. Prosperity of Western Railroad Men on Eastern Roads. President. Wilson and General Manager Felton, of the New York & New England, nre both Western men, and received their railroad education here, and have the ability to b&tidie any Eastern system of roads. Yet, because they were Western men, in the management of the N. Y. & N. E. road they have had to- meet great opposition. Accidents on tlio road have been greatly exaggerated, and their management generally has been the subject of unfavorable comment, but at the same time the business of the road has increased almost beyond parallel, and it is Interesting to note, while on a majority of the roads of this country there was a decrease in earnings, the N. Y. &N. E tnrreased Its earnings, which for April were $208,852.87. an Increase of $7,808 48, or 3 per c *nt., and for the first seven months of the company’s fiscal year, $1,891,134, an increase of $191,741, or 113-10 per cent, over the corresponding period the previous year, and the management bus now reached a point where they can cut down operating expenses. The last year, owing to the rolling stock being in Imd shape, some 200 extra men were employed; Their services can now he dispensed with. The road is now in vary much better condition to handle Us business than ever before. The new rosil in process of construction in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, known as the Pennsylvania, Slating ton A New England, will give, via the Erie railway utNewborg, additional business from the coal regions, ns will the South Pennsylvania, tlie Heading-Vanderbilt line now building. The lease of the Central railroad of New Jersey by the Reading is also expected to give Impoitant aid to tin* New York & New England, by the projected extrusion of tinPort Oram branch to a Juno t Lou with the Erie at Saltern. TUB EAST TENNESSEE SYSTEM. The Belief General that Jay Gould Will Scoop It In* Well-informed railroad men and financiers seem quite sanguino that Jay Gould is to, in the near future, secure control of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia system, 2,293 miles of railway, and Jay Gould, while Bourb, stated that •hoald he secure control of this property he would extend the East Tennessee from Lauderdale, Miss., to New Orleans, a distance of 200 miles. Tills would give him connection again with the Texas portion of the southwestern roads. As it now exists the East Tennessee system terminates on the west at Memphis: on the south at Lauderdale, MUs., and Brunswick. On.; on the east at. Norfolk, Va., and on tlie north at Hagerstown, Md. There are a number of valuable brunches, including one which connects nr the Kentucky State line witlt the Louisville & Nashville. and no connects with the Onto valley cities. Were to carry out tlie above Scheme Jay Gould would then coutrol 13,704 miles of railway. GENERAL NEWS. The Ad von tug** of a Through System Owned by One Interest. Dorlncf the general demoralization of rates Bonn weeks since, the Pennsylvania lines were not üble to furnish all the oars ordered for business*, and claim that they maintained tariff rates. And msw a freight agent who is watched closely by his competitors asks: “Does any anno men believe the Peennsylvanla or any other road can secure business against a cut of from 2Hi to 5 cents per 100 pounds) Where the shoe pinches is that their competitors cannot prove anything against them, ami Hie Pennsylvania folks are never known to leak.” Unquestionably the Pennsylvania people have the advantage, and probably, should they choose so to do, can cover their tracks liecter than through lines tuude up of two or three roads. Why This Weakness? The weakness in the stock of tlie Cleveland, Colombo**, Cincinnati fc Indianapolis road is difficult to account for, as tho roadbed and equipments were never In better condition than now; and the business of tho road is bandit'.l in an economical manner. Their passenger business never was heavier, and their freight tonnage Is proportionately heavy with that of other roans tho stock of which snow no weakness. An Important Franchise Secured. BTBW York* May 15. An important railway entrance to Now York was acquired to-day from tne city by the sale of the Btaten Island ferry franchise and lease of tho pier at the Battery, which, being at one terminus of the elevated railroad system and nlongshle the Brooklyn ferries, gives Mio locution great Value. The city will receive $250,1100 tor tlio Iranchisn anil lease. The location was originally selected by Commodore Vanderbilt. The purchaser is Krasins Wloion, president of the Staten Island Railroad Coiupuny. Miscellaneous Notes. Ono-thlrd of the $91,000,900 of New York Central stock is belli In Europe. Through pas-eager trains between Rochester and Pittsburg will he started Juna 1. The Chicago* Burlington <fc Quincy, In splto es the "bears,” declares its nsul 2 per cant, quar terly dividend, payable May 31. Pennsylvania officials say that if the contract with ilit* CVnir.il railroad of N.-w Jew Jersey is krolisn by the officers of tire letter, they will

prompt Ur proceed to build ft line of their own, for winch they have irge part off the right of way* aud which they ouu ooustruct in a short time. The Financial Chronicle publishes reports of earnings for April from sixty-one railroads and their branches. A* compared with April, 1882, there is an increase of more than 9 per cent in mileage and only 7 per cent, in earnings. For the four mouths ending April 30 the earnings of the sume roads increased about 9 tier cent., the same as the mileage. Tho gem In the way of an advertisement is a book issued by the passenger department of the Pennsylvania road, hearing the title of “A Paradise tor Gunners aud Anglers.” The primary object of the work is to direct the attention of sportsmen, whether gunners or anglers, and pleasure-seekers generally, to the indisputable claims to their consideration of the < hesapeake dc Delaware peninsular division of the syste o. Brief descriptions and illustrations of the principal game birds and fish that frequent its shores and waters are given. The reading matter is very instructive aud the illustrations very attractive.

Elliott, J.—lt hi the duty of county commissioners to let the contract for public buildings to the lowest responsible bidder, but no bidder is entitled to the contract unless lie executes a bond, with two good freehold sureties, properly conditioned for the performance of the contract. It is the duty of the commissioners to determine tlie sufficiency of the bond tendered, aud they have broad discretionary powers, with which courts will not interfere, unless there has been n abuse of such discretion or corrupt conduct. They have a right to require that the sureties snail lie solvent persons, capable of contracting, and residents of tins State. (08 Ind , 214.) An action for damuges will not lio against a county upon tlie ground that. Its commissioners have erred iu determining the question of the sufficiency of bond tendered by a bidder for a public building. Generally an action will not He against an utticer exercising quasi juidictal functions for an error of judgment. An unsuccessful bidder cannot recover for time aud mouey expended tu preparing a bid, wfiore ho knows there are to be competing bidders. In such a case there is no implied contract to reimburse tho bidder for such work. Judgment affirmed. DKMURHKH—HARMLESS ERROR. 9,435. James Lcsler vs. William Brier. Warren C. C.

Norristown Herald. A Pittsburg lady doctor says that woman can understand woman, and it often does a patient more good to talk to her of spring bonnets and wraps than is effected by medicine. Husbands and fathers want to look out for that lady physician. Instead of recomm ending 50 cents worth of aqua pura for a sick headache, she may prescribe a sl4 bonnet, ora $25 surah overskirt, or something that way.

After a Rainy Ride a Country Physician Tells What He Thinks of Some People. *1 wish to gracious some people would leuru when they need a doctor and when they don't,” exclaimed Doctor E , as ho entered his house iu n cosey little village 111 tho interior of the State of New York, after a tedious night ride of many miles. “I have been down among the tnotintains to seo a man who, the messenger said, was very sick and not likely to live till morning, unless he had limnedlate hole, uud found him suffering from a rather sharp attack of colie, which his family might liu* e relieved in ten minutes, if they had a grain of sciisu and two or three simple remedies in the house. But no; they must remain ignorant ns jugs, and when tho least ache or putn takes thorn, send for a doctor, whether they ever pay him or not.” “Why* Doctor, what kind of simple remedies, us you call them, do you expect people to keep iu the house!” asked his Wife, as she poured him a cup of hot tea. “In this case,” answered tlie Doctor, “if they had only put a BENSON’S CAl't INK POROUS PLASTER oil tho man's stomach, ho would have been all right Lu au hour, aud saved iuo a dreary ride.” In ail ordinary complaints it cures at onco. • All disease* are eliminated from thes>.stom by what may be roughly called expulsion or extraction, or by a union of tho two processes. Benson's Plaster promotes both. It incites the torpid organs to act, and send* it* healing, soothing influence through the myriad pore* of tlio skin. All oilier plasters oblige the patient to watt. They give bun hope for tomorrow. Benson’* piaster gives him help to-day. Which is better, do you thinks Iliav the ('APEINE anil keep it in the house. Price, 25 cents. Hcsbury A.
