iFFAIES OF THE RAILWAYS How #o Farther EcMomifc iu Operating Railways the Question. 4 Break In Rates Out of St, Louis Immisuit- PrnpeflfA for an Early Impn>Tß‘ uiflut in Ruainess Not llatterinj. WHERE WILL TIIE LIMIT BE? Heavier Equipment* and a More Substantial Road-Bed Now the “Hobby.** Managements of botli Eaateru ami Western roads are now worrying their brains in the study •f where they can economise in operating expenses; office expenses on most roads have been reduced to a minimum, both in salaries and In the number of men employed. Now managements art* turning their attention to moving trains more economically. This has led to tho bututing of heavier locomotives, 80,000 pounds new being considered a fair-sized locomotive, 38,000 pounds ten years ago being the standard weight for freight engines. Tho capacity 4f cars has as well been propoitlonoteiy increased—l3,ooo pounds ten years •go was the currying capacity of boxcars; now 40,000 pounds is the standard, and eome roads are building cars of 50,000 pounds capacity. The weight of a passenger car has been increased from 25,000 to 45,000 pounds, and the parlor cars now used weigh 75,000 poands. With this there is a proportionate strengthening of bridges, the laying of a heavier rail, and increasing the number of cross-tics per mile. The. last two yejirs all new rads laid on the Pennsylvania system, west of Pittsburg, or on the Vandalia, have weighed sixty-four pounds to the yard; tha Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Ennis & Chicago already have forty miles of road laid with a rail weighing sixty-seven pounds to the yard, and this month arc putting in seventeen miles more. On some of the Pennsylvania roads tins improvement is to be carried still further. The Philadelphia <fc Reading Railroad Company lias determined to manufacture a longer and much heavier rail tlum that now in use. The length of the rails now used is thirty feet, and those which the company will soon begin te manufacture will he Just double that length. The weight of the latter will he seventy pounds to the yard as compared with sixt.v-eigbt-pounds in the former. An especial feature •f the new rails will bo rlio uniting of the ends by an angular splice-bar, winch has been much improved and strengthened. It is claimed by the officers of the company that the increased length o! the rails will possess many features of economy. The proper Keeping up of the joints at. the ends of the rails is a cure that entails considerable expense, and it follows that any reduction in Che number of these joints will be attended by a correspond!r g economy. The increased length of the rail and the decreased number of joints, it is claimed, In the language of railroad engineers, give the rail increased life, and in a corresponding measure deeifease the wear and tear of rolling •Uiek. A WEAK PLACE IN THE POOL. Where Pools Benefit Oue Road at the Expense of Anoiher, The Chicago <fe Alton road .8 now taking grain out of Bt. Louis, forPa'umoro via Chicago ana Bandnsky at a 21-cent rate, while the rate over the Ohio A Mississippi and the Baltimore A Ohio, the Vandalia and the Cincinnati, Indian•pthis, St. Louis A Chicago, the Indianapolis A St. Louis and Cincinnati; Hamilton A Indian•Deli* is 28 ceuts per 100 pounds, and should either line cut the rate, which works over the B. A 0., one cent, Commissioner Fink would order the trunk lines to cease prorating with such road. The Chicago A Alton steers ch-ar of the pool by carrying the grain from St. Louis to Chicago at 5 cents per 100 pounds, then it is forwarded by lake to Sandusky at 6 ceuts per 100 pounds; the Baltimore A Ohio then takes it at 10 cents per 100 pounds, making a 21-cent rate from Bt. Louis to Baltimore. Another instance where the pool operates unfairly is this: the Baltimore A Ohio take grain delivered to them at Sandunky or the Pennsylvania take grain delivered to them at Erie by the lake craft at 10 cents per 100 pounds to Baltimore, while were the Lake Erie A Western and the Lidiami, Bloomington A Western to deliver grain, the Baltimore A Ohio demands 16 cents for hauling the graiu from Sanduskv to Baltimore or the Penney i vania from Erie to Baltimore. The grain delivered at Sandusky by the lake cratt is out■lde the pooling agreement; hence a 6 cenrg per 100 pounds lower rate is given than the B. A O. will give to a road which delivers grain to them at the same point. The fact that the Baltimore A Ohio and tile Penn sylvania line delivered at Baltimore on Monday 253 car-loads of graiu shipped by rail and water shows that there is a weak place in the eastbound pool, and oue which will yet lead to trouble. It can hardly be expected thc.t the Ohio A Mississippi, the Vandalia and the I. A St. L. will be lookers-on for a long period, pool or no pool, and the difference the pool enforces at lake ports between graiu delivered by boats or by rail routes which reach Sandusky or Erie is entirely too much to make a kindly feeling toward the east-bound pool. THROUGH BUSINESS LIGHT. Bo Indications of An Early Improvement, Is the Opinion o*' Freight Men. C. 8. Bawyer, general manager of the Continental line, spent yesterday in die city, and in an Informal chat with the railroad reporter, he remarked that the prospects for business at the present time were not flattering. Export business was at nearly a stand-still. There was some floor going foi ward, and this covered nearly all the export business; and what was worse, he jonld not now see signs of an early improvement. Freight inair were now hanging all their hopes on the growlug corn crop, which certainly was very promising: hut It was months before this would begin to move. The moving of the oats crop would cause a little spurt of .business, but this would be divided up between so many lines that it. would do hue little to make up the light movement this year as compared with last. The Continental lino, he said, last year at this time was moving twenty cars where It now handled one, and the same was truo of most of the other fast-freight lines. Fortunately, lie said, for tue railroad companies, interior business was good, and promised to be for some time to come. He added, after looking the field over thoroughly: **l think that east-bouud business is to be light until navigation closes and the new corn crop begins to move.” GENERAL NEWS. The Straw That Broke the Narrow-Gauge Camel's Back. A director of the Toledo, Cincinnati A Bt. Louis company offers the following statement iu regard to the present, condition of aft airs: “The stockholders have been assessed and assessed until they have become tired, and they thluk that there is no use iu sending good money after bad. The road has been managed as carefully and as ably as could have been by mortal man. President Phillips lias fully demonstrated Ins ability in liis excellent management of other roads. He has not been extravagant, as some ha.ve charged. On the contrary, if lie has erred iu anything it has been n being inclined to lie too economical. The last st-aw that broke the camel’s hack, ns it were, and doubtless preciui *atod the present condition of tilings in the matter of a petition fora receiver, was the failure of the wheat arop along the line of the road, llad this but turned out in accordance with reasonable expectations the receipts would have swelled to such proportions that there would have been no dissutisiuotiou.” Parties in the west who understand the condition of this property, well know had the wheat crop been the heaviest iu the history of Indiana and Illinois it would not have suved this road from its present pitiable plight, as the road-bed Is not in a condition to move heavy business over it, neither Is it properly “quipped to do a good business. The New Light for Railroad Coaches. Ooe of the handsome passenger coaches belonging to the New York, Buffalo A West Bhore road stood, last evening, upon one of the spur trucks west of the Union Depot, lighted by the Pintech system of lighting railroad cars, locomotives, railroad signals, steamboats and depots by gas. During the evening a number of railroad men witnessed tho operation of the light, and were highly pleased. While a very powerful light, it is mild and pleasant to the eye, and in any part of the coach a person can read us easily os by daylight, and Its cheapness is one of the strong points, it costing but one and a half cent per hour to light the en-

tire coach.using five lights,each burning four jets. Tins light hHR been coopted by tlie Erie, tlie New York. Buffalo A West Hhnre, the Chicago A Atlantic, and tlie Boston A Providence roads, and is giving entire satisfaction. A. C. Humphreys, wiio is In charge of the coach, has decided to remain over this evening, and railroad men s!u>uid< make a special effort! to witness it* operar lions. _ England: to Have a. Railway Exposition. The railroad memos England are agitating the holding of an international railway exposition next year similar to the one reoeutly held in Chicago. The London Colliery Guardian speaks approviugly of the Chicago exposition, and augurs various future improvements to be among the results accruing from it. It is also stated that numerous firms and companies engaged in the manufacture of railway supplies will be benefited by the exposition, aud that the Iron trade ou both sides of tlie water will eagerly watch for future-developments. A still more substantial proof that the great exposition finds appreciation abroad is afforded by the suggestion tbit Loudon should tr3* the experiment. The Guardian argues that if it is possible to hold suoti an exposition “at a remote American town like Chicago; an Internalionl gathering or a similar character would prove still more interesting and still more success!ul in a world-renowned capital such as Loudon undoubtedly is.” Tne ground is taken that If increasin'; business compels American railroad managers to take additional precautions to provide safety, British lines, in view of their expanding traffic, are certainly bound to adopt a similar course. While it may be true that, tlie prominent English lines are built iu a more substantial manner than most American railways, and that tho necessity of ex.tensive reconst ruction is less imperative, the Guardian says that no one can dispute that “a peaceful revolution” has been effected in British railway management within the last three decadeg by tlie general use of steel rails, the improvement in signal service, tho introduction of fish plates, the improvement of permanent way ami the adoption of heavier rolling stock. The Proposed New Road to Kansas City. St. Louis, Aug. B.—lt now transpires that General Devereux, Mr. Tillinghast and other gentlemen representing the Bee-line and Vanderbilt interest did not leave for Kansas City last night, as announced, but had a conference with gentlemen here connected with tue project to build a belt railroad around St. Louis, to see on what terms they could obtain the charter and franchises of the Belt Railroad Company, in order thereby to secure an easy entrance into St. Louis and across to the Union depot for their contemplated new road between here anil Kansas City. It is stated, on pretf.v reliable authority, Unit this road is sure to be built, and that operations will he commenced n soon as General Devereux and itis party return to New York aud have a oousiUiation with other interested persons. Suit Against the Illinois Midland. Boston, Aug. B.—The suit of the United Trust Company against the Illinois Midland Railway Company and others, catue up for Hearing before Justice Harlau. The case was introduced In the courts of Chicago, but owing to the presence of the Judge in tills State, counsel came here to try it. The case ie a suit in chancery, t<r foreclose three sectional mortgages, and also a general mortgage on the consolidated road, made up of three sections, known as the Illinois Midland ratlroud. Tne contest i*over the claims of different bondholders us to tlie legality of $150,000 worth of receiver’s certificates, aud the priority of their lien over the rights of bondholders; also rfs so the priority of claims of certain judgment creditors, and as to a priority lieu of about $306,000 of floating indebtedness. Early Completion of the Northern Pacific. Nkw York, Aug. B.—The Northern Pacific railroad will be completed about sixty miles west of Helena M. T.,on the 25th inst., but the formal opening will nob take place until Sept. 8 next, On and after the 25th inst. the company will be ready to receive freight to and from all points on the Pacific and the Northwest. The rates between Bt. Paul, Duluth and Portland will be the same as between Council Bluffs aud San Francisco. Through tariffs to Portland ami other Pacific coast points are now beiug prepared aud will be ready for distribution in a short time. Miscellaneous Notes. There is talk of putting another through train ou the Chicago A Atlantic, the business Has increased so largely. It is customary for the oftioers of the Wabash company to show the earntugs to Mr. Gould before giving them to the public. The charter of the Canadian Pacific gives that company uutil 1891 to finish the road. At the present rapid rate of progress it may be corapied by New Year’s day, 1886. A narrow gauge railroad projeot from Jasper. Dubois county, to Orleans, via French Lick Springs aud Puoli, Orange county, is about to lie surveyed. It is designed to iun tne road to Seymour, Ind. The monthly statement of the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe company shows a decrease of gross earnings in June of 6.1 per cent., a decrease of 30.1 per cent, in operaing expenses, and au increase of 45.2 par cent, in not earnings. The Chicago A Alton has given notice of withdrawal from the freight pool which was formed about two years ago between that road and the Wiib.iah, 9t. Louis A Pacific, Illinois Central and Chicago, Burlington A Quincy. It is thought that this has been done in retaliation for the action of the Illinois Central lu tlie matter of passenger rate*. Vanderbilt’s system now consists of the New York Central A Hudson River railroad, 450 miles and four tracks; Lake Shore, 550 miles, double track; Canada Southern A Michigan Central, 550 miles, double track; Northwestern, 4,500 miles; Nickel-plate, 550 miles, or a full 6,600 miles of double and quadruple tracks, not to speak of thousands of miles of side-tracks, etc. Under a uew agreement just entered into by the Chteugo passenger agents of east-bound roads, theatrical rates will hereafter be made and tickets sold by the Eastern railways only from Chicago. Western connections must not use theatrical rates front Chicago for baaing rates, but ticket theatrical parties only to Chicago, when tickets will then he sola them at theatrical rates. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Railroad Men—Trouble Brewing Over Encampment Rates.

General Manager Sawyer of the Continental line, ami Mr. Bmon, agent of this line at Terre Haute were in the city yesterday J. W. Sherwood, superintendent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A rlncago road, yesterday decided not toaocoinpany tlie Knights Templars on their Sau Francisco trip. President Ingalls is away und his duties arc now so increased that he cannot well leave. F. L. Gregory, who since Mr. Sessions, agent of the Indiana Bloomington A Western road at tills point, was tranferred to Columbus, Ohio, has been the acting agent, was yesterday appointed agent at Indianapolis. Mr. Gregory in tlie few weeks lie has been acting agent has made a host ot friends among business men through his prompt aud agreeable methods of transacting business. Local Notes. The Indluuapolls car-works are to build 400 graiu cars for the Erie people. The Bee line company is building a handsome new passenger depot at Maplewood, a suburban town of Cincinnati. In the month of July 2.470 oar-loads of gravel was distributed on the C., 1., St. L. A C. between Sheldon ami Kankakee. Work was resumed on the Bolt road extension yesterday. The force is to be further increased und the construction pushed vigorously. During encampment week the train north over the Chicago A Indianapolis Air-line will leave Indianapolis at 5:30 P. m., instead of 4:30 p. m , the usual hour of departure. The running of through recltnlng-ohair cars between Peoria and Cincinnati, over the Wabash and C., 1., Bt. L. A C., whs commenced lust night. The Wabash put two coaches in the line, ami the C., 1., Br. L A C. the same number. Three elegant new passenger conoltes have been added to the passenger equipment of the

THE INDIANA POLLS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, AUGUST a, 1833,

Bee-line proper this week. Two were built at Dayton and one at the Krlghtwood shops, and the latter is equal in every respect to those built by Barney, Smith A Cos. The engiueer corps of tlie Bee-line and Wa- ' hasli roads yesterday were engaged in locating the line between tiro property of the two companies in awoinance with the tripartite agreement made between the two companies and the city some three years ago. After the line is established both companies wilt put m additional aide tracks,enlarging their oity yards. A sample grain car of tue pattern which the Erie propose to build 1,000, is now at the luanapolls Car-works, and was yesterday examined by several railroad men. all or whom pronouuce it a model car. Its capacity i&40,000 pounds, lengtli inside thirty-four feat, sealed to rhe roof on each end, and equipped with tlie Wagner car-door, which, when closed, is Bush with the side of the car. John Bruuton, alter thirty-two years almost aouimuous service, tue last half iu cliarg* of a construction train on the Indianapolis division of the. Bee-line, has resigned that posi lion, and will prob.bly lie assigned to less arduous labor. Ha aud his w ife, w ho recently returned to Beliefoutaine after a brief resilience in Indianapolis, will celebrate the thirty-fifth anniversary of their wedding-day on next Monday night. Passenger pools, no doubt, when they do not overreach their mission, are a good thing, bat there is such a tiling as being too arbitrary with the members of the pool. For instance, the Indiana. Bloomington A Western company proposed next wank to make a low rate from all points on all divisions of their system to parties who wished to visit Indianapolis during the encampment week. Other roads propose to make the rate two cents per mile, and threaten the 1., B. A W. people that if they go below that-rate they will present the caseto Commissioner Fink. Yet these same complaining roads, during the exposition at Chicago, earned passengers at less than one cent per mile, and are now doing so on certain days while the exposition at Louisville, Ky., is open. Snell boyish threats disgust outsiders with pooling agreements. Real Estate Transfer*.

In referring to the matter yesterday a politician remarked that “the candidacy of Maynard for mayor would be a farce. He is a man of ability, but it is not the knnl required for a position of that kind. If Maynard wants an office he ought to try to get something more desirable than that of mayor, ana if his friends are looking to his interests tlioy will, not encourage him to make auy such saoritioe.” Grand Jury Work.
