RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. liAtes of To-Day Compared with Those of Twenty Years Ago. The Wabash Comprehends the Situation—lndianapolis No Longer a Way Station or the Pennsylvania Lines. NO GROUNDS FOR COMPLAINT. Rates of Twenty Years Ago Compared with Tiiose of the Present Day. B< apt are shippers to complain as regards rates of transportation that occasionally it is not out of place to make comparison of the tariff rates of the present time with thoso of years past; and then the wonder is that the railroads can pay even operating expenses, and they oould not. had not the operation of railroads been reduced to a minimum cost, and were uot the strictest economy enforced in all departlinents. Such economical operations have been ‘forced upon the companies through competition. One can hardly realise the reduction which has been made in freight rate*, both east and west-bound, within the last tweuty years, and really comparisons become matters or Interest. For instance, in the year 1863 the rate on grain from Indianapolis to New York was 75 cents per 100 pounds; on flour $1.50 per barrel. In 1869 the rate was reduced on grain to GO cents per 100 pounds, and $1.20 per barrel for flour. The rate now is 23 cents per 100 pounds on grain, and 48 cents par barrel for flour, a reduc- I non of nearly 70 percent. In tweuty years. The genetal manager or a fast-freight line yesterday ! remarked to the Journal reporter that in 1869 he contracted with an Indianapolis miller to forward all the flour he turned out for a period of ninety days at $1 per barrel, The trunk-line management at first refused to carry out the contract, but afterwards consented to do so. hut gave said agent to understand that his services would uot be needed if be again made a similar cut on tariff rates. The same line is now hauling flour at 4G ceuts per barrel from Indiaaapolla to New York, and rather than miss a shipment Would doubtless shade that rate. Bm In west-bound business the reduction in tariff rates has been even more marked. In 11863 the rate un first-class freights from New fork to Fudiaafepolis was $1.98 per 100 pounds; in 1869 it was reduced to $1.06; m 1380 to ;81.1 l*s, and the rate in now 7i cents per 100 jxMirda. In 1868 one of the trunk lines gave a [ffl.lOper 100 pounos rate on first-class freight, which ersared a great rumpus in railroad rirules, and was dropped by competing roads only on the promise that such a rate would never ifuraln be offered. Formerly a oar run from New Yor to Indianapolis earned S4OO to $600; now if a car earns $125 to $l5O it is spoken of as big earnings. The fact is that any business man who will fully stgdy the rate matter will soon come to the conclusion that through rates are too low, and that, it would be belter to advance them, and, if possible, tone local rates down some what. In passenger service the rednetion of rates has uot been so great, yet twenty years ago through rates were usually based •n three cents per mile, now they aro based on two cents per mile; local rates on four cents, nsw three cents is the rate per mile on a majority of the roads of this country. A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. The Wabauh People Propose to Act Honorably with Indianapolis .Shippers. Most of the grain men and lumber dealers at this point who are shippers, have, in the last day or two, received circulars from the freight department of the Wabash, St. Louis A Pacific road, requesting them, if they have any claims against the road, to at once present them with the proper proof of the justness of their claims, and state that they will lo ,promptly adjusted. Now that the Wabash people manifest a disposition to deal honorable with Indianapolis shippers, it is ao more than right that they in return should •how a conciliatory spirit and that differences be harmonized at once. The Indianapolis. Peru A Chicago, now the Wabash, was once one of the favorite lines East with Shippers and there is no reason that the same friendly fee’ing should not again be kindled should the Wabash people praotice no discrimination against Indianapolis. THE RAIL MARKET. The Situation Improving—Orders Increasing, Prices Firm. The Indianapolis Irou-ruil Rolling Mill Company has now orders sufficient to keep them busy some sixty days, and there is an increased inquiry as regards prices and when raifs can be furnished. The steel-rail company have made no attempt to start up, and have about decided to erect suitable buildings and construct two converters, that they may bo able to manufacture their iron blooms. It will cost $200,000 to make such an improvement, but when com plered the Indianapolis mill could manufacture rails at slower figure than any mill in the country, having introduced all improved machinery to tiie construction of their new mill. Th * New Albanyiiron-rail rolling mill is ruuning full time and full-handed; has orders to keep them ousy several we-ka. Eastern papers report that thsre are indications of a better demand for * steel rails, all hough it is not likely that prices will allow much improvement. Summer and fall deliveries command somewhat higher prices, ssy $38.50 to $39, and only small lots can be had at those Azures. Wiuter and spriug deliveries could probably be bad at something below S3B. although in view of the largo amounts likely to be required, the feeling among sellers appears to lie in favor f holding to S3B as a Ann quotation, with the usual concessions to "buyers jOf very large lots. Sales during the past ten days kav*-beeu fcomewhat important, and it is understood that four of the leading mills in Pennsylvania have engagements to deliver over 200,00.1 tons within the next lour months. This, ‘in addition to the current demand for small lors i will insure full activity during the remaiuer of the year. ■w GENERAL NEWS. The E. TANARUS., V. A G Now Has Two DeepWater Eastern Termini. While there is no authentic information to the effect that the Richmond A Danville road is to be consolidated with the East Tennessee, Virginia A Georgia road, the irapressiou prevails that it will be. The purchase of the R A D. gives tho E.T.. V. A G. syndicate two points at deep water, namely, Norfolk and West Point. The East Tennessee, Virginia A Georgia railroad commences at Bristol, in east Tennessee, near (he Virginia line, and runs on the main line to Chattanooga. They have other leased lines, such as the Memphis A Charleston line, between Chattanooga and Memphis; the Selma division from Cleveland, T**nn., to Selina, Ala., and Meridian, Miss The line whicn is said to have been bought begins at Paint Creek, N. ('., and Is renoberi by their Morristown branch, and at Paint Creek the Richmond A Danville system commences. The present Richmond <fc Danville line runs from Paint Creek to Salisbury, then to Greeoa borough, N. C., theu to DituviUe, then to Richmond and West Point. At Danville it connects with the Virginia Midland, and runs via Lynchburg to Alexandria. The Danville line has a number of leased lines running from Charlotte to Atlanta, and from Charlotte via. Columbia to Augusta, Ga. A Game of Freeze Out. The Roosac Tunnel Line seems to be steadily 'losing Its bold with shippers in this section. The fact that it only runs to New England points places it at a disadvantage. Theu again, the fact that it has arrangements to work for New England business ever nearly all Western roads works to its interests. It is a •child of no one system of roads, but common to nil, consequently the management of no Western road shows any interest m the lino’s prosperity, but, to the contrary, turn business over to it only when they have oars of no other line to load. Each road seems to have its pet fastfieight lines, but the Hoosao Tunnel is nobody’s per. It is really the only lino which does not reach other than New England points, while th-re is not a New York fast-freight line which does not also reach New England points. All lines run over the Vanderbilt system, over the Erie system, the Pennsylvania system, aud the Laicimore & Ohio a< well, carrying New Eng 4;ind business, and tlih manner in which Western road# treat the Hoosao Tunnel line indicates that they would like to free/.ojt out.

road. Total rote, 1,096; majority for the appropriation, 724. Work on the extension of tho load will begin to-morrow. Miscellaneous Notes. The railroad property in Cooke county. 111., Chicago, is jessed at $6,510,159. Os the twen-ty-one roads, the Chicago A Northwestern is the tuost heavily taxed. There are now in course of construction in New Mexico railroads whose plans oall for 891 nnles of road within the boundaries of the territory when they arc completed. Mr. Netter, es Cincinnati, who represents the Cincinnati division in the Toledo, Cincinnati A Bt. Louis directory, is indignant at the way he has been deceived, and does not hesitate to pronounce the financial management of tho narrowgauge system “boy’s play,” The Colorado river bridge Is completed. The Ceutrul Pacific and the Atlantic, A Pacific railroads will bo enabled by this structure to make a junction, and thus open a third transcontinental route. It is thought, however, that through travel by this route will not. be allowed for a long time. The two companies have entered into no arrangement concerning through traffic, and no arrangements are likely to be uia<lo us yet. The Pennsylvania Railroad Coin pan v are erecting on their lines this year, east of Pittsburg. a number of new passenger stations, costing $2,500 each. In style they partake of the Queen Anne period, projecting gablesautl long, low eaves, giving each of the four sides a distinctive feature. The roof is tiled and the sides diagonally weather-boarded. Inside the appointments are distinctly English, and two open fire-places, with ornamented tilings, usurp tiie position of the modern stove. The whole structure is surrounded by a portioned platform. There is no State iu the Union where there is so much ill-considered and foolish anti-railway agnation as in California, says the Railway Register. The people there chafe because railway charges aro not as low as in the Eastern States, forgetful of the fact that such roads as the Chicago and Northwestern, Rock Island, and Milwaukee & St. Paul have on an average four times the volume of freight traffic per mile that the Central Pacific has. And yet the average rate on the latter per ton per mile for wheat is 1.06 cents, against 2.08 cents ou the Milwaukee A st. Paul. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Prominent Railroad Men —Officials Seeking a Rest. N. K. Elliott, master of transportation of the Vandalla. ts in the city. A.

General Superintendent MacLeod, of tho Louisville, New Albany A Chicago system, lias gone north on a pleasure trip, to bo abseut a couple of weeks. President Daveteux, of the Bee-lino system, and several officers of the New York Central road are making a Western pleasure trip. Ou Tuesday the party wbro iu Omaha. John R.

Smith presented lnm with a check for SSO and an auniial pass over the Central and leased lines; Superintendent Hobart gave him the “People’s Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge,’’ and T. M. D.-ul an annual paa over tlio Missisquoi railroad. Local Notes. Shipments of grain to interior points of Canada are now unusually heavy. The rates at which the Wabash is gathering up grain on their lines and hauling it to Toledo indicates that to support the elevators at Toledo the management would bankrupt the road. September 1 through chair-cars between Peoria and Cincinnati will bo put on the run over the Wabash to Sheldon, and the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road to Cincinnati. The indications are that the fast-freight lines w hich carry Baltimore business are to. have more to do this season than last. Already freight room for 2,000,000 bushels of gralu has been takeu at that port for August. Paymaster Allen, *f the 1., B. A W., pays nt Indianapolis to-day for July service; on the St. Louis division Thursdav, Peoria division Friday, Ohio division Monday, Ohio Southern Tuesday, and the middle division Wednesday. Master-mechanic Lape. of the Ber-line shops, Brightwood, has lust turned out anew engine, W. ston build entire, Weston boiler, Weston firebox aud Weston improved works. It is expected that this engine will do some good work. A general freight agent of one of the Indianapolis western roads, says that witblu the next thirty days a half million bushels of oats will be carried over Indianapolis roads. The new crop has already commenced to move quite briskly. Passenger conductors on ali divisions of the Pennsylvania system west of Pittsburg are now required, when receiving a cash fare, to make note of It, and give the passenger, as well, a receipt for it. A nook with suitable blanks is provided each conductor. The Louisville, New Albany A Chicago Railroad Company adheres to its resolve not to run Sunday trains, and as a consequence the attendance at the Battle-ground cutup-meeting on Bunday last was decidedly slim. In fact, it lias seemed to be a cold blanket on the entire time the camp-meeting has been held. The attendance Tor years has not been so small. Engine 120 on the Indianapolis division of the Bee-line, which is anew one out of the Brightwood shops, is making a high speed record. Monday night, it is stated officially, this engine hauled six oars from Union City to Munch*, thirty seven-tenths miles, in twenty-nine minutes. The engine is very handsomely proportioned, and has an extension boiler, straight smoke stack, spark arrester and several other modern improvements. Freight traffic on the Wabash is beginning to improve, tUe ear movement last week ou the main line running fully 30 per cent, above that of the week preceding. Last August the Wabash earned $1,000,000, but it will hardly reach that amount this month. Colonel Hoxie, general traffic manager, attributes light shipments so far to the light state of the markets, ami farmers won’t sell only iu cases whore they aro compelled by financial necessities. Engiueer Sala, of the Chicago A Indianapolis Air-line, explains Ins uncoupling the engine from the train last week and running unheralded to Motion by stating that a stay-bolt blew out, his engine was leaking badly, amt the only thing he could do was to run ns quickly as possible to a repair shop. After reaching a telegraph station he ran wild under instrucnoiis to the shops in Lafayette. lie expected the head brakeman would inform his conductor of what the trouble was, but he seeuis to have failed so to do, and this caused the passengers who were detained on tiie main track five hours considerable anxiety, aud this led to tiie question, was the engineer insane! The Pennsylvania people at last realize that Indianapolis u a central point in their system, aud no longer propose to make it little more than a way station. Tae locating of H. R. Dering, one of the general officers of the couipanv, was a move tu tile right direction. Indianapolis Is practically the center of the Pennsylvania company’s system wst of I'ittsbiirg, as shown by a neat cant Just issued by the passenger department, one road ieadinz to Chicago and Minneapolis on the north,another to Louisville and New Orleans on the South, a third to Bt. Louis over the Vandaliti, and u fourth to Pittsburg and New York. The running time of trains lief ween all points above named is neatly condensed ou the card. Real Estate Transfers.
