THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS SThe Nickel-Plate apd C., H. & I. Become Aggressive. Manager Malott Gettiuj; Down to Business —Civil Service on the Pesnsylvauis Road. SEEM MS' EARNEST. Tle Nickel Plate and the C., H. and I. Take Hold wltn a Vira. A renresentailveof the Nickel-plate who has been in the ciiy for a few day* on official business, yesterday stated that they now had pot matters into shape, in connection with the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indiananolis and C., H. A D., to take business out of Indianapoiia, and not only in live stock but with dead freights they proposed by this route to make as good time both op east and west-bound business as their competitors, be they old established routes or of the newer ones. The Nicke'-plate made no pretension of being a passenger line, but as a freight route t/sy toon the back ground for no line. Their grades were light, their power ample and they had no passenger ••■ains to bother them, only local pasaencer ■••unninsr on that road, consequently they Ad wouid make better time than either other Hues. The company had been at for several weeks perfecting tboir arrangements to get lute tins section, were already taking some east-bound dead freight business, as well as live stock, and they had not fairly begun to work for business. As yet they had brought westward hut iittle freight except anthracite goal for Indianapolis, but. now they propped to work for all classes of westa well as east bound freights over their route in here. THF. MAN FOR THE PEACE. manager Malott Straightening Out the Affairs of the Union Railway Company. Vice-president and General Manager Malott, ©t the Union Ratlway and Belt road, Is quietly looking matterß over and suggesting tmorove(nsnte in tho different departments and methods of doing business. He oatohea on to the Journal's idea that the sleeping-car companies should be better represented here, and he has made the proposition to the Pullman, the Woodruff, the Wagner and the Baltimore A Ohio Sleepingcar Companies that if they will appoint a competent man and pay a respectable salary to such a representative of their several interests, he will build a neat office for them near the ticket office, using one window* of the ladies' room for access to the office when parries desire to purchase tickets and to ask for information. Brich an arrangement meets the approval of E. H. Goodman, superintendent of the middle division of the Pullman Car Company** territory. Mr. Malott is also desirous of arranging matters so that the Indiana, Bloomington A Western will haul their long through-freight trains over the Belt road, instead of through the citv over the Union tracks. All the more important roads, the 1.. B. A W. excepted, now -otter their through business ovor the Belt road, and Mr. Malott has had a conference with Manager Henderson regarding the mutter. PENNSYLVANIA OFFICIALS. Interesting Personal Sketches of Leading Officials of the Model Road. • The Pennsylvania and the New York Central railroad companies have what might well be termed a civil-service system, which gives every man in their employ an opportunity to reach a high place among the officers of the company, and rbe result is a management unsurpassed for ekitl and efficiency. Nearly every president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company began In r . e bumble capacity, and the present president of the New York Central, James H. Ratter, who succeeded Mr. Vanderbilt, began as a freight agent in the interior of New York. The promotions wbioh have followed a display of merit on tlu Pennsylvania railroad have been Incentives for employes to show their capabilities to the best atfvautiigr 1 , and this has resulted m a manMoment pructieul and efficient in every respect. The Philadelphia Record has been investigating the subject and finds that some of the promotions have been so rapid, and cover such seemingly impossible jumps, M to make interesting reading. The Record devotes some two columns to interesting personal sketches, showing where the leading officials of the Pennsylvania railroad began railroad service, which Is given in brief beiow: The president of the Pennsylvantn Railroad Company, George B. Roberta, began as a rodmam in the engineer oorps, and was soon made assistant engineer in the construction of the Eastern division of the line. Edmund Smith, who to now the first vice-president, entered the service of the company soon after its orgsulZHtlon as engineer. Frank Thomson, the second ▼ico-prestdent, entered the company’s service as an apprentice in the machine shops at Altoona. J. N. Dußarry, the third vice-piestdeut, began * je engineer corps in the construction of the sharp division. The fourth ▼loe-preoidont, .•plain John P. Green, was with Colonel Thus. A. Scott in the capacity of private secretary while that gentleman was assistant Secretary of War. Charles E. Pugh, general manager, enter ed the service of the company as a passenger brakeman. S. M. Prevosf, the general superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad division, entered the service of the company in 1871 as assistant engineer on the Philadelphia division. William H. Brown, the chief engineer of t he company, served during the war as chief of the construction of railroads and bridges for the Army of the Potomac. At the close of the war he en- * the service of the Pennsylvania railroad as ant engineer. Theodore N. Ely, the geuunerintendent of motive power, entered service of the company as a ndhnnn. mea R. Wood, the general passenger agent jjf the company, com.uneed his railroad career tU the Burlington A Missouri railroad, and absequrutly served as general agent and diision superintendent on the Miohlgan Central. His first experience as general passenger agent was with the Chicago. Burlington A Quincy, which position he resigned in April, I*Bl, to become general nassengt-r agent of the Pennsylvania railroad. George W. Boyd, the assistant renernl passenger agent, began as a elerk in the ttokat office of the Turtiruiapolia A St. Louis company at Indianapolis. He came to Philadelphia as a clerk in the passenger department of the Pennsylvania railroad, under his brother, the late D. M. Boyd, jr He soon rose to the chief clerkship of the department, ami in 1881 was appointed to the position of assistant passenger agent, which lie uow fills on ail the lines of the company east ol Pittsburg and Erie. Both are passenger men who rank among the beat. John tt. Wilson, general freight agent, was for manv venrs general freight agent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington A Baltimore railroad. He accepted lus pr.*scut position in 1882, succeeding Mr. Creighton. GENERAL NEWS. The Diractors to Ask that Two Receivers Be Appointed for the TANARUS, C & St. L. The financial troubles of the Toledo, Cincinnati A rit. Louis Narrow-gauge road, the "Little Ban tain," Increase rather than diminish, and tlia statement iu the Journal recently to the •ffeot that certain directors and stockholders were dissatisfied- with the general management of the property and the frequency with which the management has been changed, is confirmed by a telegram from Boston, which states that the directors have determined to patltion the United Wtates Court to appoint two receivers for the property. Conductors in Trouble. The passenger conductors on the Wabash. Bt. Louis A Pacific are under a cloud. On Monday sight were suspended on tile Peoria division, tome of whom have been reinstated, and on other divisions the heads of some ten or more have tumbled into the basket. One of the officials of tlie Wabash, whose headquarters are at Bt. Louis, alleges that from 40 to 80 per cant, of tho rash fares have been stolen on some divisions of the v\ abash. This offioiui has doubtless been associating wiili “spotters" or he would uot put the figures so high. Differential Rules Awarded. Nkw Youk, July 26.—The Joiqt executive committee of the trunk lines to-day awarded differential fares on first-class passenger business over Ibe now Baltimore A Ohio, via tho New York L'aatral or Erie and Grand Trunk line, connecting at Niagara Full*. The rate fixed is 818 50. Differentials wore also fixed between Buffalo s4 Chicago and Cincinnati and 8. Louie, at ilie Jc quest ©f tho Lake Kuo Wee lorn roatl. The

regular differential fares westward from Buffalo were awarded to this line, after considerable opposition on the part of the ’rank lines. It wss decided to establish a rule that hereafter secondclass passengers will be restricted to smokiugcsrs. and not- be afforded the same facilities as first-class passengers. Greenfield After the C., W. A M. Road. Special to the Inuianapolls Journal. Ghkknfield, July 26.—A very large aod enthusiastic meeting of our citizens was held tonight to take some steps to secure the building of the Cincinnati, Wabash A Michigan railroad to this city and to Bhe!byville. and a live coinmit tee was appointed U confer with the officers of the route. Miscellaneous Notes. The.lllinois Central puys a 4 per cent, dividend September 1. The weighing association at Chicago, will come into practical operation August 1. It ts rumored that suits are to be brought against the Seney syndicate on account of tho methods employed in organising aud umrketiug the securities of the Ro-caiied Seney roads. The report is again ourrent that the Pennsylvania Railway Company is negotiating for the purchase of the Conuttoa Valley road, and will, if it gets the same, change it to a standard gauge. The gross earnings of the twenty-eight lending railroads the second week of July were $3,643,267, against $3,392*278 last year, a gain of $252,989, which is probably iess than !.e gain in mileage. It is stated that t::e Missouri, Kansas A Texas for the first six mouths of the year earned Hi© full interest- on its bonds, amounting to $1,250,000. In tUe last half of 1882 the earnings Increated abont 70 per cent, over the first half. President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railway Company, is alleged to have held a conference with western shippers or anthracite coal oier his road, and to hove expressed determination to prevent any diversion of trade to other Channels. • The. agents of the Northwestern pool reads have refused to make any concessions to skippers of live-stock, and claim that the present rates are as low as can be maintained with any prospect or profit. The cattle men say they are not able to compete with their competitors in the Southwest. The Boston A Albany has this woek placed on their line s powerful passenger engine, which it is eximoted will make a big speed record. The boiler throughout ts of steel, and will carry 109 pounds pressure. The dimensions are as follows: Length, including tender, 54 fee*; weight, 42 rone; diameter of driving-wheels, 5 feet, 83* inches; diameter of oy Under, 22 inches, with ail eighteen-inch stroke. Tats is the fifth of this style of engines tlie company has built. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. An Old Bee-Line Man Secures a Good Position—The Wabash at Pittsburg. W.Botwll, agent of the Wabash road at Cisco, has been transfer rod to Caster, on the Chicago division. S. R. Taylor has been appointed commercial agent ©f the Wabash A Missouri Pacific, at Pittsburg, Pa.—appointment to take off -ot August I. Will. P. Cannon has been appointed private secretary of V. T. Malott, vice-president and general manager of tue Union Railway Company. L. 8. Yonmr, formerly master mechanic of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati A Indianapolis road, has accepted the poeitiau of superintendent of the works of the Wason Car aud Foundry Company, at Chattanooga, Twin. Local Notes. The shops of the Wabash company at Carmi, as well as ut Butler, have been closed this week. Paymaster of the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago road, yesterday paid on the Chicago A ludiaaapolis Air-Une for J uua service. The Indiana, Bloomington A Western yesterday rook into Columbus, 0.. thirty-three ©wooties heavily laden with excursionists to the soldiers’ reunion. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis A Chicago, commencing with Sunday next, will sell round-trip tickets between ail stations on the eastern division at one fare. Tickets for the Acton camp-meeting this year, the first week, Park Assembly week, will be sold at 65 cents, Indianapolis to Aotnn, round trip. After the first week the rate is reduced to 50 oetita, round trip. The watermelon traffic is proving quite a bonanza for the Kokomo division or the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg road. Yesterday two trains were sent north, hauling forty-five loaded cars, thirty-seven of which were loaded with watermelons. As now located, the track of the Bolt road extension crosses the track of the middle division of the 1., B. A W. twice within 2,000 feet, and the 1.. B. A W. people have asked tlte Bell road to relocate their lino so that their track shall be crossed but once. Freight men predict that south-bound business this fall with the north and south roads will brighten up considerably, and that the Southern States will call on Indiana and Illinois ter grain and provisions in larger quantities than in either of the last two preceding years. The statement In one of the city papers that the Indianapolis A Vincennes road last year ran behind $200,000 was incorrect. In payiug fixed oharges and operating expenses there was only $35,000 deficit, which the Pennsylvania lessee was culled upon to make up. As many pleasure seekers are awaiting eheaorate exeursfons to Northwestern points, it is proper to state that the general passenger agents of the Northwestern lines have agreed to sell no class of tickets this year below the rate for tourists’ tickets. Bee-line engine No. 602, one of the new moguls, yesterday hauled forty-one car-loads, of live stock in one traiu from Bright wood to Union City in three hours and forty-three minutes, instance, seventy-nine miles. The stock oars wore nearly all new, and the train, although a stock train, attracted attention. The Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis ami the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago roads have placed tickets on sale at the Union railway office, for the Southern Exposition at Louisville, K\., at $4 70 round-trip. The exposition continues one hundred day*, and. these special tickets will be told only on Wednesday aud Saturday of each week up to Nov. 10. The Cincinnati. Hamilton A Dayton, in connection with tlie New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio and the Erie, are pressing Commissioner Fink to increase their per cent, on the east-bound pool, both dead freight and live sto,. Like the Vandulia at East Bt. Lous, the C., H. A D. is shut out of Cincinnati, frequently, to allow competitors for east-bound business to buy up their per cents. Th e Pennsylvania Company is said to lie negotiating to secure control of tile property of the Michigan A Ohio Railroad Company. The Michigan A Ohio owns large docks and other valuable projterty at Toledo. Pennsylvania people are said to look kindly upon the propertr, as affording them a siiort southeast out-off from the Grand Rapids and Indiana road through Toledo, and by the Toledo A Northeastern to a connection with Fort Wayne. The light east-bound business tlie White-line is doing In this section, ns compared with former years, is a matter over which there is some corn ment. It should be borne in mind that until within a year a large per cent, of the business of the 1., B. A W., which now goes Midland-line went White-line, and In their New England business they have beeu severely crippled by the Erie fast-freight, which until 1881 carried little New England business. The Indiana, Bloomington A Western company have notified the parties occupying their l-rounds south of the Varidada freight depot, on South Tennessee street, as coal and wood yards, to vacate the grounds within thirty days. Tilts action on the part of the company ts creating some comment in railroad circles. Geuerai Manager Henderson, of the 1., B. A W., when asked the reason why such un order had been i-aued, answered the. railroad reporter of the Journal; “I prefer not to state the reasons, sir." Somebody, through the newspapers, is urging nu the Chesapeake A Ohio p. opie to purchase or lease the Louisville, Evansville A Bt. Louis Airline, and that somebody makes the statement that if the Mackey syndicate or E. AT. II company secures the Air-hue,it will imn over all eastbound business to tue G. A M. and Vandulia roads, cutting off the Chesapeake A Ohio from all its Eastern business, a large portion of which is now passing over that line. By the by, the latest report is that the Mac-key syndic ate are to lease the Air-line for forty years, tiuding it impracticable to purchase it. Real Estate Trausfor*.
