RAILWAY NEWS AND NOTES. lucidentg Connected with the Building of the B. & O. Bond. Emtlng the Shew hoeomotlTe on the P., C. & St. L.-A Fast Run Over the Pennsylvania Road. EAKLY RAILROADING. A .Scrap from the History of the B. & O. Road. Daniel Morrison, o£ Conncrsville, lull., is •pending a few days with friomla in thin city, •nil yesterday stated, In conversation, that he was a witness to the breaking of ground for the Baltimore A Ohio road. The day was made a holiday in Baltimore, and a procession on wheels was one of the features of the day. The procession was a couple of miles In length, and every Industry of the city was represented. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, who wasone of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, threw the first shovelful of dirt and delivered an address before thousands of people. The work moved slowly for several years, and not until 1831 was a locomotive put in service. The cars, prior to that date, were handled by horses. July 4, 1831, the read was opened to Elliootts Mills, twelve miles distant from Baltimore. This was made an occasion of another grand celebration. Mr. Morrison was one of the passengers on the first train over the road. The trip to Ellicoits Mills was made safely, but on the return to Baltimore the engine exploded. The engineer and fireman were both scalded and died from the injuries then received, and several passengers were injured in Jumping from the cars, which were, double-deck ears, and were much the same proportion as stage ooaehes of that day. This being the onlr engine the Baltimore A Ohio people had, while It was In process of rebuilding horses were used to haul the cars between Baltimore and Elliootts Mills, and one of tho greatest fears of that day was the hauling by one horse, of fifty barrels of flour on a couple of oars, from Ellicotts Mills to Baltimore, In one hour and ten minutes. At that time Baltimoreans only talked of building to the Ohio river and of then using the river to reach New Orleans, the trade at that time being very 1 ires between the cities of Baltimore ami New Orleans. Only the most sanguine expect.ed|to get the road to the Ohio river In Ipss than flftv yeare. Bat tbs enterprise at once became popular, and ci'izsns of Baltimore allowed a willingness to aid the work financially or otherwise. But liecee•arlly the work through the mountains onto Cumberland moved slow, yet the friends of the project lour nous of their interest, and for many yearn only throueh the death ot someone of the original stockholders was onv of the B. A O. stock placed on the market, and to a greut extent this remark is applicable to-day. GENERAL NEWS. A Novel Engine on the I*., C. A St. L. Performing Well. The Shaw doublecylinder locomotive was tested on the. Pittsburg, Cincinnati & Bt. Louis road last week, and performed very handsomely. This engine has two cylinders, side by 6ide, on eaoh side of the engine, also two sets of guides and two pistons, crossheads, main rods and side rods on eaoh side. The distribution of steam to both cylinders is accomplished by one valve, ami the main rods are coupled to pins diametrically opposite each other in the main wheel, and side roils similarly in each wheel. Tula construction necessitates overhanging cranks, so that the rods may pass around without Interference. The object iu making this construction is to avoid the necessity of using any counterbalance in the wheels, as the reciprocating and revolving parrs are all balanced by exactly similar parts, always moving in exactlv opposite directions. This in itself is generally conceded to be a very desirable result to accomplish, but It remains for the sequel to tell whether the unusual construction, with severely strained cranks and the introduction of additional parts, will cost more than the accomplishment comes to. .Movement of Heavy Cannon on Railroads Pittsburg manufacturers are moving to establish a national cannon foundry in that city. The fftinn hereafter to be m:iniifaoture(l for nten-of-wnr and harbor defeuse will, on an uversge. weigh 100 tons, and there is a question as to whether existing cars, tracks and bridges will support such loads. Captain Reilly, commandant of the arsenal at Pittsburg. Is Inclined to think the project entirely feasible, and he adduces European precedents in support of his posltiou. 1u1879a gun weighing upward of 110 tons whs carried by rail from Turin to Bpoezin, In Italv, a distance of about 300 miles, the car on which it was carried having previously, on a trial trip, carried iron plate weighing 120 tons for n distanoe of 120 miles. Herr Krupp's enormous guns are conveyed to their destination by railroad, and Captain Reillv observes that “the whole question, therefore, comes down to the relative position of railroads in Europe ami America, and the advance of railroad enterprise in one country over the other. If our railroads are as good to-dav as theirs, then the same teate can be accomplished here ;* well as in Italy and other foreign countries, where railroads have always been supposed to be behind American enterprise." Philadelphia's Good Fortune—A Genuine Surprise. The city authorities of Philadelphia have been notified by the president of the North Pennsylvania railroad that 3,087 shares of that com pany's stock stand to the credit of the oity on Its bonks, a fact hitherto unknown to the present city authorities. It seems that stock dividends have been issued by the oompany at various times, and tho city having owned 30,870 shares f stock (which have since been sold) is entitled to 3,087 shares, of which the city authorities had no knowledge until notified by the com pany. The sec-rat ary of the oornmiSHlou was in-, etnioted to make an examination of the records of the. railway ooiupany, and also to make a special report on the subject to the city council. The market value of the stock is $62.50. and the city’s 8.087 slum ure thus worth $208,372. which, with the accumulated dividends of 882,557, to which the city may or may not be entitled, makes a total of $200,949. Caution lntmras Safety. If the printed regulations of railways were Striotly observed, there would be but comparatively few acoidents. The Bee Line Gaeeite, in speaking of this matter, says: “Accidents will happen occasionally on the best managed railroads, as well as in the best regulated families. Human skill and foresight In the selection of materials, and In thoconstruction of roadway, bridges and rolling stock, may render accidents from imperfect construction few and far between. Ver, some hidden defect In a rail, wheel or axle, tnav cause a train to be throwu from the track, aud loss of life or damage to property bo the result. But how few accidents happen from such defects compared to tliose resulting from negligence and disobedience of the rules on the part of the employes. ‘Caution is the parent of safety.’" Iron-Clad Tickets Not Transferable. A decision has been given, recently, oy the Supreme Court of Nebraska, whloh will be of interest to p tssnnver men. A party having bought an iron-clad ticket, sold It to another person, who 111 attempting to use it was ejected from the train. The latter, In suing for damages, was defeated and an appeal taken to the Supreme Court of the State. Here the decision of the lower court whs affirmed, the judge holding that a regulation of a railroad company, providing for the sale of tickets at a reducod rate, upon condition that they be used only by the person purchasing the same, is reasonable and proper, uiid a third party cannot acquire the right to travel on them. A Lively Ktiu. On May 15 a train of four cars over the Pennsylvania road, hauled by engine No. 184, class •*K.” left Jersey City at 4 p. m. Actual time of run from Jersey City to mile post 57, one hour, less 10 seconds. Jersey City to Trenton, Glhi minutes; stopped at Trenton, Germantown Junction ana Powelton avenue; time occupied in these stops, 5 minutes. Time from Jersey City to Philadelphia (Broad street), including slops, 1 hour and 50 minutes exactly. The train made 11 r .insecntlve miles in 55, 55, 55, 58, 55, 55, 50, OJ, 52, 50 and 54 sooonds. Jurisdiction Extended. St. Louis, May 22.—Cliaries.’W. Hammond, for two years past superintendent of telegraph Hues mi the Iron Mountain, International A Great

Northern and Texas A Pacific railroads, has had his jurisdiction extended so as to embrace the entire Missouri Pacific system. Mr. Hammond is one of the oldest telegraphers in the country, and well known throughout the West. Chang* in the Canada Pacifio Line. Victoria, B. C., May 22.—The Colonist saysit is reported that instructions have been received at port Moody to stop all work oq the railway between the latter peint and Pitt river. It is believed the object is to divert the line of the railway from Port Moody to Coal Harbor and English Bav, which affords easier ferry connection with ike Island railway and Victoria. Miscellaneous Notes. The Oregon Short Line tho Union Pacific, just opening for business, it is stated, makes accessible territory capable of supporting 1,000,000 cattle and 1,500,000 sheep. The Georgia Pacific promises to l>e a valuable road to Atlanta. So quiet have tbe managers that one can scarcely realize that they have built and equipped In splendid style 123 miles iu the last twelve months. Railroad and trade manuals are constantly multiplying, and all, while more or lens imperfect, nevertheless serve a useful and convenient purpose. The larest candidate for popular favor la Bullion’s Quarterly Review of Transport, Trade and Money, and Manual of American Railroad and Allied Interests, Telegraph and Shipping. Besides the usual statistics, an excellent index, being especially noticeable for the presentation of the old an well as new names of roads and tlieir New York transfer offices is given. The railroad map of North America is likewise a feature. Vice-president Caldwell, of the Nickel-plate, said, in speaking of his recent trip over the road, that the track was iu excellent condition. As to the question of an early placing of through passenger trains on the Nickel-plate, he said they would not he ip haste, but would effect u change on soon as the additional passenger equipments were ready, which would be within a reasonable time. Iu order to the accomplishment of this move, a number of new passenger coaches would be required, but the road was already well equipped with locomotives. For the increasing freight business 1,000 new box caia were now being constructed, which would be delivered as fast as tuey were completed. - . PERSONAL AND LOCAL. A President from the Ranks—Movements of Railway .Men. C. W. Armstrong has been appointed agent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road at Zioaeviile. C. E. Henderson, general manager of the Indiam, Bloomington A Western road, who has been East ten days, returned yesterday. J. P. Smith was yesterday appointed agent of the Cincinnati, Itidianapols, Sr. Loots A Chicago road at Rushville, vice P. Wllk, Jr., resigned. J. H. Devereux, president of tbe Bee Line system, is still ip New York. General Manager Thomas and Traffic Manager Skinner have returned. Charles T. Maude!, who represents the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Company’s Hues west of Pittsburg at Columbus, 0., is in (be city. W. K. Vanderbilt, who is now so rapidly coming to the front as a railroad man, is but twentyseven years of ace, has a good presence, aud dresses in the business costume of the day. R. W. Geiger, general freight agent of the Jeffersonville, Madison A Indianapolis road, is iu the oity. fie reports business on the road as improving, and rates, which were considerably demoralized a few weeks ago, are much better maintained by competitors. The Southern roads are said to owe their present prosperity to Colonel Foreacro more than to any other man. The Colonel has been engaged almost exclusively since the war in rebuilding and re-establishing railroads In Georgia, Alabama and Virginia. P D. Smith, president of the Indianapolis, Eel River A Southwestern Railroad Company, wan formerly a freight engineer on the Indiana, Bloomington A Western road. H. W. Smith ami other parties who appear in the directory as being UrbanH, 111., men, were the parties who projected and built the Champaign, Havana A Western road. The statement that Fred Wann, general freight agent of the Chioago A Alton road, wus acting detective for Commissioner Fink in the effort to prove that the Indiana, Bloomington A Western has been cutting east-bound rates, proves to be unjust to him It Is H. Wann, of Cleveland, private secretary of J. H. Devereux, who, with H. W. Gays, hue been looking the matter up, but seem to bo making poor headway. Gaorge Sanderson, general freight agent of the Toledo, Cincinnati A St. Louis road, has made the same blunder that he did whan general freight agent of rhe Indianapolis, Decatur A Springfield road. He lias issued orders to bis subordinates that they must not give the reporters any news when asked for it, but say something about the weather instead of tbe Narrow gauge. All That Is neoessary is to publish a few round-house rumors on him, and he will gladly give unv information desired. I). W Caldwell has been interviewed by the railroad man of the Chicago Times us regards the rumor that he is to be mude president of the Niokel-plate. Mr. Caldwell said he was well satisfied with his position as vice-president, and did not know that be would be promoted to the presidency of the road, the proposed change probably existing more in rumor than iu reality, lie bad beard more of it from the newspapers than from any other source. Yes; and the newspapers announced teat he was to retire from tlie position of general manager of the p., C. A St. L. lines some weeks before he admitted that lie whs to do so. I.oeal Notes. The up town union ticket office was opened December 1, and the sales of the third week iu May run ahead of those in any week since the office was opened. A Bee Line official, who purchased the stock at 92. tells the reporter of the Cleveland Herald lie expects to see it touch par iuside of a year, and pay 5 per cent. In the bargain. The ludiana, Bloomington A Western company is receiving from the Peninsular Car Works a couple of hundred oars of superior build. These cars are thirty-four feet long aud are substantially built In every respect. On the lines controlled by the Pennsylvania company the average receipts for carrying a ton of freight one mile was seven mills less in 1882 than in 1881—less than three-quarters of a cent—while the cost was reduced to about onehalf a cent. The three construct ion trains now in service on the eastern division of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road, Monday next will ie transferred to the western division, wlu re extensive Improvements in the way of graveling is to be made. The Chicago, Columbus A Indiana Central, now tbe Chicago, ftt. lajuir A Pittsburg road, in tbe year 1882 carried 1,118.516 passengers, an increuae of 208,822 over the nnmocr can ied In 1881. This road curried in 1882 3.001,619 tons of freight, an increase of 34,470 tons over 1881. The Indianapolis, Eel Hivsr A Southwestern Railroad Company have leased severul rooms in tho Cleveland block on Kentucky avenue, for offices. The chief engineer says that unless something unforeseen comes up to baffle their purposes they will be throwing dirt within thirty days, and will by December be delivering the coal oti their line upon this market. The question is asked: BIIOIIUI an accident occur to a train run by one of these second-class engineers, and a life lost or property destroyed, and the matter should go to the courts, and were information given that the engineer held only a second-class certificate, should not the damages be made heavier or the penalty greater than were the train run by a first-class engineer! It Is intimated that the talk that the Wabash people would aid In the building of the Indianapolis, I'>l River & South western road, is advanced by them to Influence the Pennsylvania people to sell the Indianapolis A Vincennes road to tho Wabash syndicate or lease It to them, that they may thus lie enabled to conuect the Cairo A Vincennes division with the Detroit A Indianapolis dlvislou of the Wabash system. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati A Bt. Louis road, In the year 1882 was operated on 67 17-100 per ceut. of the gross earnings. The Chunters division of the system controlled by this compuuy on 69 32-100 per rent.; the Pittsburg A Wheeling division on 69 96-100 per cent,: the Cincinnati A Muskingum Valley on 78 6-100 per cent.; the Little Miami on 83 78 100 per cent.; the Columbus, Chicago A ludiana Central 011 86 27-100 per mile. F. Harrington, the fireman who was scalded in the wreck at Litchfield, 111., on the Indianapolis A rtt. Louis road, on Friday night last, caused by a bridge being blown from its position, and who died on Sunday night, was hurled at Crown Hill yesterday. The Indianapolis division of the Brotherhood of Firemen attended the funeral in a body. The deceased was an active member of the brotherhood, and had done much to make the organt/.atiou the grand suooess which ii I*. Mr. Charlks 8. Kattknbach, 201 North Pine street, Indianapolis, says Brown's Iron Bitters cured him of Dyspepsia of five years’ standing.

After a Rainy Ride a Country Physician Tells What He Thinks of Some People. •‘I wish to gracious some people would learn wlieu they need a doctor and when they don’t,” exclaimed Doctor E , as he entered his house in a coney little village in the interior of the State of New York, after a tedious night ride of many miles. ‘‘l have been down among the mountains to see a man who, tho messenger said, was very sick and not likely to live till morning, unless he had liumediato help, und found him suffering from a rather sharp attack of colic, which his family might have relieved in ten minutes, if they had a grain of sense and two or three simple remedies in the house. But 110; they must remain ignorant a# pigs, and when the least ache or pain takes them, send for a doctor, whether they fcver pay him or not.” “Why, Doctor, what kind of simple remedies, as you call them, do you expect people to keep in the house?” asked his wife, as she pouted him a cup of hot tea. “In this case," answered tho Doctor, “if they bad only put a BENSON’B CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER on the man’s stomach, lie would have been all light in an hour, and saved me a dro.iry ride.” In all ordinary complaints it cures at once. All diseases are eliminated from the system by what may be roughly called expulsion or extraction, or by a union of the two processes. Benson's Plaster promotes both. It incites the torpid organs to act, nttd sends its healing, soothing influence through the myriad pores of the skin. All other plasters oblige th© patient to wait. They give him hope for to-uiorrow. Benson’s plaster gives him help to-day. Whloh Is better, do you think? Buy the CAPCINE aud keep it iu the house. Price, 25 cents. Heabury dr Johusou, Pharmaceutical Chemists. New York.
