AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS The Rush of Yesterday—Need of Better Passenger Accommodations. fuacnser Men Interesting Themselves in the Matter of Earnings—Matters of General Interest. A GOOD FORENOON WORK. The Indianapolis Roads Land 14,000 Persons in the City in Six Hours. Between the hours of 6 A. M. and 12 o’clock, noon, yesterday, the fourteen roads brought Into Indianapolis, as shown by the ottiolul records, 194 passenger coaches, and almost without exception not only were the seats all occupied, but. the aisles and platforms were full. Placing the number at seventy persons to the coach, which certainly is no exaggeration, there were 13,580 persons brought lu, whioh, added to the ar rh als of the preceding days, made a big crowd. The largest number of roadies was brought In over the Jeffersonville, Madison A Indianapolis, twenty-six. The Wabash came next, with seventeen, and over the east and west divisions of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road there were brought in a large number of people, the sale of encampment tickets on both divisions reaching 1,410. Over the Peoria and middle divisions of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western large numbers of visitors to the encampment wero brought Id, and over the Vandnlia also. Superintendent Whitcomb found it quite difficult at limes to handle the trains arriving, and for a time was obliged to shut freight trains off of the Union tracks. THEATRICAL RATES. Elephants, Dogs ancl Donkeys Hereafter To lie Carried by the Express Companies. The general passenger agents of the leading loads of the country are showing more Interest In the earnings of their department than in Sonnet years, and on many roads passenger earnings are footing up as large if not larger than freight earnings. Recent action taken by tlm Passenger Agents’ Association have been in the right direotion, and promises good results. The rule adopted by the Western association regarding the transportation of theatrical baggage and traps was none too soon. The order prohibits the carrying of any single piece of baggage weighing over 250 pounds. Anything in excess of that weight must either be sent by express or freight at the regular rates. The rule has been in operation on commercial business for some time, and the rapid increase of theatrical freight has made its extension neoesaary. It was resolved that all dogs, donkeys, goats or live animals transported on passenger trains shall lie delivered to the express agent on the trains, and nor to bo in charge of the baggageman, as lias been the ease heretofore. This regulation will necessitate the payment of express charges on such live stock. The old method has been to deadhead it l>v giving it free transportation in the baggage-car. The role applies more particularly to theatrical parties. Some companies have been in the habit of carrying regular menageries on passenger trains. At a meeting of the association, re oently held in Chicago, one agent present cited an instance where free transportation for thirty dog* had been asked by the “Calamity Jane’* Combination. THE OHIO A MISSISSIPPI. ■Flint the Sixteen Million Dollars Is Wanted For. The prospect that the Ohio A Mississippi road Is soon to be taken out of the hands of a receiver, that the roadbed is to be improved and equipments to be Increased, and the property put in first-class condition In every respect is a matter over which there is much favorable comment. That the Ohio A Mississippi Is one of the best roads crossing Indiana, If once placed upon its feet and relieved of the financial troubles which have hung over It since 1860, all who are acquainted with the situation will readily concede. The $16,000,000 mortgage given by the Ohio A Mississippi to C. C. nines and the New York Trust Company, is to he known as the first general mortgage. The sale of these bonds will enable the company to maintain and operate the road successfully, to fund its several series of mortgage bonds at a lower rate of Interest, and to provide additional equipment and terminal facilities. The mortgage also affirms that at a meeting of the stockholders, held in April, 1882, the resolutions passed by the directors were adopted bv a vote of 190,620 shares of capital stock represented in the meeting, out of a total ©f 240,300 shares now outstanding. Os the said bonds, $12,784,000 are set apart for the discharge of $174,000 of Income and funded bonds due Oct. 1, 1882; $6.722,000fir5t consolidated mortgage bonds, due Juno 1, 1898; $3,829,000 second consolidated mortgage sinking fund bonds, due April 1, 1911, and $2,000,000 outstanding Springfield division bonds, due Nov. 1, 1905. The residue of the bonds, $3,216,000. ■will be applied to paying interest ami mortgage indebtedness now due. and to purchasing additional equipment and terminal facilities. The mortgage is a lien upon ail property of the road, of every kind whatsoever, now or hereafter owned. The individual stockholders are not. to be held liable for the paymeut of prluclpal or interest. GENERAL NEWS. Indebtedness of the Northern Pacific •60,000, Central Pacific #120,000 Per Mile. A study of the financial status of the Northern Paciflo Railroad Company presents several points of interest. The capitalization of the Northern Pacific railroad Is about $35,000 per mile In stock; debt by general mortgage, $25,©OO per mile, with a reserve to take up the divisional mortgages on the divisions covered by them; the total therefore is about $60,000 per mile, as against SIIO,OOO on the Union Paotfic and $120,000 on the Central Paciflo. The main liue and branches owned by the company amount to 2,600 miles. The distance from Bu?erlor City on Lake Superior to Portland on uget sound la 1,932 miles; from Portland to Ban Francisco 785, from New York to Portland 3,276, being almost identically the same via San Francisco and via the Northern Pacific. So far as first cost and burden of indebtedness go. Therefore, the new road to the Pacific coast has a smaller load to carry than the old one. It has 3io government debt to pay off. While it lies kiorth of the median line of the continent It Is *|Uite ns direct to Asia. The interests of great capitalists are, however, so manifestly in the direction of harmony, rather than of competition, that we are not likely to see any open warfare between the old and the new routes to the Pacific coast. Each wili look more and more to its ©wu local population for prosperity, and all there wilt find their real competition in the Suez canal, the sailing vessels of the great oceans, and Ultimately, perhaps, the Panama canal. It is rather extraordinary that the Northern Pacific preferred stock is quoted before the road is opened at 88, while the Central Pacific is at 71 ud the Union Pacific at 92. Construction Nearing a Standstill. After the completion of the Northern Pacific, tins month, there will remain but a single road whioh will construct a considerable additional ■uileage this year—namely, the New York, West Shore A Buffalo. This reduction nets upon business in different ways. As one effect it releases it large amount of currency for railroad building. especially in the far Wear, absorbs currency •>ut of all proportion to the values handled. As iinother effect, ft disengages capital, and the capwtl thus set free is nor of the kind that long lies unemployed. Agaiu,as far as It operates to diminish com petition, it solidifies the value of the lines already built. A Rate War in Prospect. Chesapeake A Ohio, while working with the pool lines, has allowed differential rates to romfwriilv© points in the West. The Savannah system. by way of Chattanooga, has entered iuto •competition with the Chesapeake & Ohio, and reduced rates to Cmoinnati, Louisville and St. Paul on a differential rate double that of ihe **ool lines. In oousequence, Chesapeake A Ohio, ith Louisville A Nashville, has further reduced gates from New York to all points in the West, including Chattanooga, Nashville and Memphis, each reduction to begin at once. A lively oouteat As anticipated, Miscellaneous Notes. The Baldwin works is now building locon\prlv©a for the Norfolk A Western and Shenandoah 'alley railroads, which will bo the heaviest in '

the country. They will weigh 110.000 pounds, or 20,000 more than the heaviest Pennsylvania railroad freight engine. The first week in August the Louisville A Nashville Increased its earnings over,* corresponding week last year $44,375. The Atlantic and: Pacific railway, whioh has the shortest liue, intends putting on fast passenger trains to compete with the old roads for Pacific coast travel. The earnings of the Illinois Central railway for the first week of August were $214,799, a decrease of $8,055, as compared with the corresponding week last year. The stockholders of the Ohio Central railroad will consider, at their meeting in September, the proposed lease of the Virginia division and Ohio bridge of the company to the Chesapeake A Ohio. The Canada Bouthern railway has made application to place on the New York Stock Exchange list $6,000,000 second mortgage 5 per cent, bonds. These bonds are issued for the purpose of constructing a branch liue from Welland to a point on Niagara river. The earnings of the Pullman onr company for the first twenty-six weeks in 1883 exceed those of the corresponding period of 1882 by $55,000, exclusive of the manufacturing works at Pullman and of the Central and Southern Pacific roads, whose contraot with the Puinian company beg in on July 1. The Canadian Pacific railroad managers have been invited to undertake a line southwestward from Lake Michigan to Kansas Citv, and it is said they will do so. The idea is to build a trunk line to Kansas across Wisconsin and lowa. Such a road would take iowa beef in refrigerator cars to Montreal, where it would go in the Allan line steamers more directly than through Now York, and at half the expense, it is claimed. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Whereabouts of Prominent Railroad Men The Wooley Electric Headlight a Success. C. C. Waite, vice-president and general manager of the C., H. A D. lines, is East this week. A. M. Mozier, trainmaster of the Indianapolis A Bt. Louis road, was in the city yesteragy on official business. O. P. Anderson, late traveling passenger agent of the Lake Erie A Western road, has accepted a similar position on the Indiana, Bloomington A Western. O. B. Skinner, traffic manager of the Bee-line system, ami H. W. Gays, general freight agent of the I. A St, L. division, are in Saratoga on a pleasure trip. Frank Reynolds, general live-stock agent of the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg road, who has been so ill as to confine him to the house for seme days, was at ins post again yesterday. Local Notes. Paymaster Med ary, of the C., H. A D. lines, paid for July service yesterday on the Indianapolis division. The great need of a more commodious Union Depot and extensive system of tracks In the vlciuity of the Union depot was never more apparent than yesterday. The Bt. Louis, Alton A Terre Haute, western division of the I. A St. L,, Increased its net earnings the first six months of tho fiscal year $55,760, not $3,000, as some of the Eastern papers have stated. Barney, Smith A Cos. are building for the Woodruff Car Company two parlor ears, to run between Cleveland and Pittsburg, of the same pattern of those recently put in service on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road. The first car-load of Delaware peaches this season came in over the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg yestesday. They were shipped from a point on the Philadelphia, Wilmington A Baltimore road in a car specially built to carry peaches. Five years aro there were no passenger engines running on Indiauapolis roads which weighed over thirty-three to thirty-five tons. Now there are twenty or more in service that weigh fortytwo to forty-five tons, and three which weigh forty-seven tons. On next Sunday the C. f I,Bt. L. AC. will run its last excursion over the west end to Acton camp-meeting. The train will be run in two sections, one starting from Lafayette and the oilier coming from Seneca and Kankakee, thus insuring prompt time and ample accommodations. Forflve months past the fast mall trains coming west over the Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg road have reached Indianapolis, with but a half dozen exceptions, on time. Besides pleasing business men by the promptness with which they receive thoir mail, their passenger business Is steadily increasing, so excellent are the C. t St. L. AP. western connections. The time made is the more creditable from the fact that trains of all the truuk lines running iuto Chicago are invariably one to three hours late. The inventor of the Wooley electric headlight for locomotives on Tuesday evening made further experiments with the device over whioh lie has been puzzling his brain for months past. The ordinary light used on locomotives is thirty-caudle power, the Wooley electric light 3,000-cuiirtle power. On Tuesday night the engine did not perforin well, yet the light was so strong that names on signs one-fourth of a mile distant could be easily read, and when the full power is on, an object could he seen on the track one-half mile ahead, it Is dunned; and it is stated the light will shadow several miles ahead. Ou Tuesday evening, the inventor demonstrated that the jarring or movement of the locomotive when moving over a rough track rapidly would not effect the light. For a year past on the Pennsylvania lines west of Piitsbueg there has been in use a very simple but effective device to avoid accidents at their covered bridges, by alarms placed at a distance of 200 feet from either approach to the dangerous man-traps. Strong posts are ct upright in the grouud, nud an arm extended from them runs directly across the track, so high up as to he out of reach. Hanging from it are pieces of rubber hose or rope, placed near together and hanging down so as to come within a few feet of the top of a box-car. Should a brakeinan be on top of a car wheu he reaches the alarm the hose taps him on the head, and he knows danger is near and drops to his hands and knees until tho bridge is passed. The efficiency of the plan Is shown in the fact that since this life protector has been used not a man has been killed by being struck with a bridge, while in the year preceding five lives were lost in this too comruou way of killiug off’ freight train brakemen. A Gang of Thieves. Jamos Reader, of Elwood, Madison county, bad his pocket-book stolen from his pocket at tho encampment grounds yesterday while listening to the address of Governor Porter. Tne pocket-book contained $l,lOO In notes. James Turner was arrested ou a street-car coming from the Encampment grounds for picking the pocket of a stranger from Glassburg, Morgan county, of sl4. He was detected in the act. During the Grand Army review, yesterday, a pickpocket was detected in stealing $5 from a stranger, but he returned the money on demand, and was permitted to go without arrest. Bartley Campbell and John Thomas, suspeoted of being confidence men, were arrested yesterday for loitering. John Morris, a uegro, was arrested last night, about 11 o’clock, by Patrolman Meed, for breaking iuto a house near GeiseudortT3 mill. He was caught before getting anything of value. Twenty-Seventh Indiana. The Twenty-seventh Indiana regiment formed a permanent organization yesterday for tho first time since the war, by electing Lieutenantcolonel A. L. Morrison, of Greencaslle, president, and John R. Rankin, of Indianapolis, secretary. All immediate relatives of deceased members aro eligible to membership of the organization. Members of the old regiment will please send their names and addresses to the secretary for enrollment. Adjourned to meet at the call of the president. Will Probably Die. Mrs. Schtssler, who was stubbed in the abdomen with a butcher-knife by her husband, who afterward committed suicide, particulars of which were given in the Journal yesrerday, was in a nmol) more precisions condition last night. Inflammation lias set in, and although there is yet a possibility of her recovery, Dr. Hodges, The attending physician, thinks that her injuries will result fatally. •Tim surprising success of Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkliain’s Compound for the several diseases peculiar to women forcibly illustrates the importance of her heneticent discovery and the fact that she knows how to tnako the most of it —Dr Haskell.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.' The Reorganization by the ICnglishDePauw Syndicate. Affairs of the Indiana Hanking Company— A Demand Made for a New Reciever by the depositors. • j There will he a general feeling of relief in business and financial circles over the definite announcement which the Journal is authorized to niske this morning, that the proposed reorganization of the First National Bank by the Eug-glish-DePauw syndicate will take place to-day, or, rather, that the transfer of the stock will be made this morning, and the reorganization then speedily effected. It is expected that by the end of the week new officers will be elected and in charge, and the business will bo conducted as usual. Under this arrangement there can be no possible doubt of the bank’s soiveuoy. The final decision was | reached at. a late hour last night, after a conference, lasting all day. The full details of ! the agreement, will not be made public until today, but ir is known that the following gentlemen compose the syndicate: W. H. English and E. F. Cl ay pool, of this city; W. C. DePauw and Jesse J. Brown, of New Albany, and Joint Reynolds, of Sr. Joseph county—who represent an aggregate capital of at least $7,000,000. The Hanking Company. The depositors of the Indiana Buuking Com- . pauy, to the number of 300 or 400, held an excited and turbulent meeting in the Criminal Court-room yesterday afternoon. Dr. E. S. Elder presided, and Charles Uleaveland acted as secretary. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to consider the condition of affairs made a verbal report, iu which they declined to recommend tlie appointment of an additional receiver, and asked to be discharged from further service, which was agreed to. Mr. Charles G. offut, of Greenfield, offered a resolution that it was tho sense of the depositors that the partners in the hank should make individual assignments, whioh was adopted. He then made au additional motion, to the effect that the meeting select suitable persons, to whom these assignments should be made, or, at least, that the partners should be requested to make them in this way. This proposition Was denounced as ridiculous and futile by H. J. Milligan, J. M. Judah, and others, and a stormy discussion arose over a statement volunteered by R. C. J. Pendleton, that he believed that F. A. W. Davis was thoroughly honest, and would pay the depositors every dollar if allowed to huve lits own way. Mr. Judah insinuated that Mr. Pen dleton was at the meeting in the interest of Receiver Landers and the bank officers, which was denied, and the speaker then proceeded to make several very serious charges, to the effect that since the bank doors closed those in charge bad illegally preferred creditors, made settlements wrongfully, and that some of the partners were disposing of their property In a manner to defraud creditors. He denounced Mr Landers as a man unfit for the position of receiver, uud gave very good reasons for his opinions. Robert \Y. Medkirk, in a short speech, denounced Mr. Davis as a mshonest man, and this declaration was received with cheers. Various motions, some of them altogether ridiculous, were made and voted down in the, midst of great confusion. The meeting refused ro indorse tlie appointment of an additional receiver, and a resolution was unanimously adopted to tho effect that Mr. Landers was not the proper poi - son for the place. Finally, on motion of Mr. Milligan, as amended by Mr. Judah, it was agreed that tlie meeting should select five or six gentlemen, an}* one of whom, in tin* opinion of those present, would l>e a more suitable receiver than Mr. Landers, Tho following gentlemen were then mimed: William Wallace, Austin H. Brown, i-rovi Ritter, of Irvington; Andrew Hagar, of j Fortville; John A. Thompson, of Johnson county, and lugrHtn Fletcher. A committee, consisting of W. F, Rupp, R. F. Smith, Frank Mausand E. 8. £;der was Mien appointed to convey to the court the notion of the meeting and recommend the appointment, and an adjournment was had. The proceedings were so confused that It was extremely difficult to ascertain exactly what was done, and the only decided action was the following: The meeting denounced the appointment of Landers, and suggested six men, either of whom is better fitted for tile place, and recommended tlie appointment of one of these to supersede the present receiver. ADDITIONAL SUITS BEGUN. The following additional suits were brought against the banking company yesterday, tlie depositors and the amounts claimed being us follows: Peter Lawson $3,000, Johann Emmerlck $21,000, Henry T. Neal $6,000. Franklin Insurance Company $1,500, John William Taylor and George G. Hendrickson $2,000, Jacob Rhinebold $1,700, Kezia Loftin $1,050. Esther A. Bristor $1,700, Anderson Shields $l3O, Ira McDaniel $4,000. Stephen Tucker $2,000. H. 11. Stout, et al. $814.50, John B. Van Tilburgli $1,200, C. F. Rocker $3,000, John B. Van Tilburgh $4,500, John Shields SI,OOO, John Reichardt SI,OOO, Margaret Martin er, al. $2,000, Joseph R. Hunt $2,000, Cornelius Smith sboo, Frank A. Shields Thirteen depositors, whose claims run from SSO to S2OO, began suit against- tile banking company before'Squire FeiWoman yesterday. Since the rage for bringing suits lias become so general, it is probable that ail oT the remaining depositors will resort to the courts, although it is doubtful if they will gain anything by it. PARTNERSHIP ASSIGNMENTS. It is definitely announced that all the part ners in the banking company will make individual assiguments this morning. Expression of .Sympathy. Colonel N. R. Ruckle, commandant of Raper Coinmandery Drill Corps. K. TANARUS., which left Indianapolis last Saturday for Ban Francisco, was called home from Omaha to attend the funeral of Mrs. Curtice, his daughter, which toolt place yesterday.
