Who Wrecked the TANARUS., C. & St. L.?—A Road with no Bonded Debt. rhe Erie to Weigh All Through Care-Tlie Arbitrator of the Colorado Pool Beady to Report* THE TANARUS., C. & ST. L. glie Connection of General Corse and Mr. Ballou with It* Construction. In the Journal of August 3 certain statements were made concerning tne connection of General John M. Corse and George W. Ballou with the construction of the Toledo, Cincinnati A St. Louis Narrow-gauge. Mr. J. C. Cabot, of Boston, takes exceptions to these statements, and In the course of a long letter to the editor of the Jonraal says: “The only construction company ever coneonoeined iu building the T.,C. dr. St. L,. or any of Its branches, during the administration of Corse and Ballou was the Western Construction Com puny, of which General Corse was president and Remington treasurer. In March, IHB2, General Corse and Mr. Bailou were succeeded in tk control and management ©f the TANARUS., C. A St. L. t a syndicate of Boston capitalk , which took the name of the 4 Belnhos Trust.’ and to this syndicate ths Western Construction Company mails over all its as•ets, of every name and nature, as well as its liabilities. Before the syndicate took possession it appointed an able committee of its own to investigate the a flairs and condition of the (then) Toledo, Delphi* A Burlington road, the Western Construction Company and the banking house of (tworjre William Ballou & Cos. in its relations to •aid companies. An exhaustive examination was made, followed by a report which was eminently dollar expended on the road was duly voucher! for and that every dollar of securities, whether bonds or stocks, which ba-t been issued, was lu the treasury of the Construction Company, except those securities which liad been disposed of for the benefit of the company, as appeared by the books and vouchers of the treasurer of the road. Iu passing, I will remark that this investigation disclosed the fact that the road was In debt to the fiscal agents, George Win. Ballou A Cos., in the sum of $240,000, for actual cash advances, and that the syndicate •rreed to pay and have since paid this amount to Ballou A Cos. As to General Corse, he devoted three years of hard work to this enterprise, a period, let roe remind you, which covered the great “boom,” when mon in his position were expected to grow rich, as a matter of course. And what was his reward? The Boston syndicate, one of the strongest ever formed In Now England, conrived the idea that General Corse was not up to their high standard as a railroad man, and t.o rhe surprise of State street they paid off the General with a complimentary ‘resolution,’ and pur in his place a man who, with $1,500,000 cash in hand, made ducks and drakes of the whole concern within nine months. The avudicatn’s president was succeeded by Mr. E. B Phillips, with a salary of $20,000 a year, and after six months’trial Mr. Phillips has landed tbe enterprise iu the bauds of a receiver. What I elaim for General Corse is that he received less for his services than either of his successors; that he exhibited more economy, energy and ability than those who succeeded him, and that It Is the opinion of most men familiar with the history (including a majority of the present board of directors) that had General Corse been continued president of the company the TANARUS., C. A Hr. U would now be a completed and successful road, successful at least to the extent of earning the Interest on Its first mortgage bonds.” A CLEAN RECORD. tVhat Honest Management Has Done for the T. H. A I. Road. The Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Cornany is said to have the cleanest financial record * any railway company in the United States. From the time the road was chartered up to the present date, it has been operated by honest roeD, both In its financial and physical development. The road was completed between Indianapolis and Terre Haute In 1852, and has always been a paying investment. Wbeu built a bonded debt of $7,000 per mile was placed on the ronl, but so handsome were the earnings that the stock paid better dividends Mum did the bond interest, and tho bondholders became dissatisfied, and Insisted upon exchanging their bunds for stock, and from tho date of the exchange, which whs about 1857, not a cent of bonded debt has rested upon the Terre Haute A Indianapolis road proper. Ths several managements since the road has been operated have always paid their men good salaries and promptly. Whenever steel rails, cross-ties, new locomotives or cars have been purchased they have been paid for. ar.d tho promptness of the company In settling all Jtisr claims has built up for them an enviable reputation, and lias enabled them as well to purchase supplies at very low figures. The stock for the last few years lias paid only an 8 per cent. annual dividend, but the money to pay them was not borrowed. ami large sums of money have been expended the last few years in improving the roadbed and Increasing the equipments, and to-day the T. H. A I. is considered one of the best roadbeds and the best equipped line in the State. UNDKRBIIXITYG. The Erie People Take an Advance Step Against This Growing Evil, There has been much complaint of overloading oars of late, and among those who have complained the most of this matter are the trunk lines, and the New York, Lake Erie & Western propose to oheck the operations of these shippers who overload care, and of tho Western roads who deliver such cars to the Erie, by hereafter weighing all cars arriving at Buffalo and Salamanca, and by circular give notice that they have Just finished the fine new scales and weighing tracks at Buffalo and Salamanca, and on and Hfter Aug. 12 all cars passing that point going to interior or seaboard points will be weighed, and all way-bills corrected to oun form to the weights there given. GENERAL NEWS. Reform Which Would Make Traveling on Railroads More Pleasant. Brakemeu running on the fast trains on the Boston A Albany road are instructed to exert themselves to sec that all the passengers have seats if there are enough to go round. Selfish people don’t like the plan, because they are often forced to discommode themselves a little for the benefit of fellow-travelers, but the publio appreciate it. Were such an order enforced on Western roads it would b in excellent idea. There is too much of this oue or two persons occupying two seats in u passenger coach. Then, the praotiefe of piling ono seat full of baggage is becoming entirely too common on Western roads. It is but little trouble to get a large valitw or small trunk checked, and then a passenger Is relieved of nil trouble. Then tiro practiOH of filling up coach aisles with boxes and baskets of fruits is another great nuisance, and one whloh. on some Eastern roads has been Hopped, they charging a small compensation f or carrying such traps in the baggage car. brfinite Shape. The decision arrived at by Mr. Joseph F. Tucker, arbitrator of the Colorado Pool Association, has been written out in detail, and will be given to Commissioner George H. Daniels, who, in oouipany with other Interested gentlemen, will leave Chioago for Boston to-day, where the three copies will be given to tile president* of the three roads interested in the decision. Mr. T. J. Potter, general manager of the Burlington road, has called a meeting ot the association for next Tuesday, 111 Boston, where the decisions will be read The results of this meeting will be -watched with interest, as hii ugly war is imtniaenr between the roads which comprise this pool *"•*** matters are satisfactorily adjusted at this meeting. Miscellaneous News. There is talk of a Pennsylvania railroad feeder viinuing through the anthracite regions from •■“lslington along the Blue mountain to Pori Clinton, and thence to its Schuylkill valley extension. This would connect tho Pennsylvania sod Lehigh valley systems. It Is proposed to oonvert the Columbus, 0., rolling-mill into a manufactory of truss-bridge and structural iron. A year ago the mill was •quipped at great expense for the nmniifHCtiire •f steel rails, but the adventure did not pay. The officers of the company, in a circular to tlie .tockholdera, say: “The time for making rails.

either of iron or steal, has passed for the small mills, as the larger companies, with their equipment of converters and expensive machinery, oan always put rails on the market at a price that would be ruinous to the small producers. ’ The Scranton Bteel Company are at present rolling rails which weigh seventy pounds to the yard and are 120 foet long. The four finished rails, after sawing, weigh 2,80 b Pounds. The company, running only single turn, made last week 1,008 tons of rails. Railroad supplies form no small item among the industries of Pittsburg, six establishments being devoted to the manufacture of locomotives, cars, springs, car wheels, rails, rail fastenings, and the numerous articles required by the railroads, including iron bridge work. A party of Boston capitalists now propose the building of a road freui Coos bay, in Coos county, Ore., about half way from San Fran cisoo to Puget sound, to the eastern boundary in the State of Oregon, by way of Roseburg in Douglas county. Should this road be built it is not improbable that It would connect with the Union Pacific’s Oregon Short-line. The first survev has been made for anew line from Chicago to'Kansas City. Two branches are to be made into Missouri, and in all about 600 miles of road will inaugurate this new system. John S. Thompson, of Chicago, the president of the companv, and Treasurer Blanding, of Rock Island, are now in New York completing arrangements to put the whole system under contract. By this new line, if complet.od.it will be something over 450inilee from Chicago to Kansas City. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Officials Returning from Tlieir Pleasure Trips Mr. McCulloahg's Industry. J. R. Dill, train dispatcher on the C., L, St. L & C., has resigned to take a similar position on the Cincinnati Southern road. Albert S. White, general agent at this point of the Bee line system, is expected home to-morrow from his Eastern pleasure trip. Charles Watts, superintendent of the Chicago division of the C., Bt. L. & P., who has been East for a couple of wneks, is at his post again. Superintendent Turner, of the Indianapolis A Vincennes road, who is a very competent civil engineer as well as railroad superintendent, yesterday received from the East user of surveying instruments complete, costing S4OO. Rand Martin, formerly of Indianapolis, was so severely injured in an accident ou the Kentucky Central road, on Thursday night, that it is feared The injuries are fatal. His mother, who lives at 28 Elm street, was summoned Iry telegraph yesterday to come to Covington immediately. In making some complimentary remarks upon general passenger agents of Western roads, the Burlington Hawkeye says: “11. C. Townsend, of the Wabash, is a keen-featured, intellectuallooking man, about forty-five, whose .courteous, affable manners have won him hosts of friends everywhere. Pcreival Lowell, of the Chicago, Bnrffneton & Quincy, is yet a young man. who made a record on the Burlington & Missouri in Nebraska. Tho splendid allowing in the earnings of his department speak well for tlie energy be liae displayed in the Interests of the great corporation ho represents.” J. N. McCullongh, first vice-president of the Pennsylvania company, epeurts about a week or teu days of each month lookimrover the roads which constitute the Pennsylvana system west of Pittsburg. While his great hobby is to learn the condition of the crops and the prospects for business, he Is said to be as well posted as regards the condition of track of the several divisions and of the eqnlpmeut as are the division superintendents Since Manager MoCrea took hold, however, he has turned over many matters to him to look after widen before occupied muoh of bis attention. Mr.'McCullough’s long continued service with the Pennsylvania company bus made him one of their most valuable men, and no Important step is taken, aggressive or progressive in character, until he has been conferred with, and his advice is usually followed. Local Notes. Receiver Conklin, of the Illinois Midland road, reports business good on that liue. and the corn crop is so promising that he is troubled to know what to do for engines and cars to move it. In the week ending August 14 ths Vaudalia handled on their main line 9,324 cars. Os that number, 6,357 were loaded; and this week promises to exceed the traffic of last week. And the best of it is, 70 per cent, of this business was local in character. The mogul engine turned out of the Bee-line shops, Bnghtwood. on Monday last, 1a performing admirably, although haraly limbered up. On Thursday the engine hauled tlilrty-five loaded cars from Indianapolis to Union at an average speed of twenty-one miles per hour. Harvest being over, west-hound travel is setting in briskly. Pusseneor men are looking for quite a heavy truvel westward the coining three months, and there is a disposition shown to maintain fair paying rates, although, at Indianapolis it seems much more difficult to maintain west than it Is east-bound passenger rates. Within the last thirty days thirteen miles of new Hteel raila has been laid on tho Indianapolis A Vincennes road hetweeu Vincennes and Be.ekuell, and Superintendent Turner says they will have twelve miles additional iaid this month. The old iroq rails taken up are to be used in lengthening switches and putting in additional tracks in the coal-mining districts. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago is preparing to do a big camp-meeting passenger business on Sunday nexr. Between Indianapolis and Acton they will make fifteen round trips with a train of fourteen coaohes. Besides this they will have forty-eight passenger coaches hauling visitors to the camp-meeting from points on the eastern and western divisions. Engine 37, on Thursday afternoon, hauled the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louie* A Chicago afternoon express, consisting of seven cars, twenty-oue miles iu twenty-three minutes. The run was made east from Greeusuurg. This is the point where the “boys” make up lost time, and the above time, and sometimes a mile a minute, is made over this twenty-one miles of track. The Erie A Pacific Despatch for a few days Fast lias been having a lively run of traffic from ndlanupolis proper. This has raised the old cry that the Erie lines are cutting east-bound rates. One of the heaviest shippers by this liue says he will make affidavit that he is paying full tariff rates, securing no rebates, and assigns as a reason far shipping by thin lino that the management havea way of doing business thut suits him. Tlie management of the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago system are troubled to know what to do for engines and cars to move their rapidly increasing imsiuess. The Chicago A ludlanapolis Air-line, the officials state, Is requiring more rolling-stock to move the business offered than they had anticipated, and this has drawn on tlie equipments of the line. On yesterday General Agent Breoount was ninety cars short of filling oraers for cars on the Airline division. Banking Matters. The final adjustment of the affairs of the First National Bank has been the ocoasion for numerous congratulatory telegrams from all parts of the country, and the future of the institution looks unusually promising. Yesterday was the first day after the reorganization, and the business was on a decided “boom.” (-hecks were paid as usual, ana thousands of dollars received ou deposit. Mr. Landers is still busily engaged with the accounts of tlie Banking Company, nut has not yet arrived at any definite conclusion. Yesterday two more suits were begun against the bank. Joseph Hofstetter for S3OO, and Franklin Hardiu, clerk of Johnson county, for $7,000, At 9 o’clock this morning Judge Walker will hear the petition of the creditors looking toward the appointment of s receiver to succeed Mr. Landers. A Twenty-Two-Ceut School Aaseasment. At the regular meeting of the school board last night, Mr. Frenzel, obairman of the committee on fiuance, submitted a resolution fixing the rate of tax levy for 1883 at niue cents on the SIOO for tuition fund, eleven cents ou the SIOO for special fund, and two oents for the library fund, making the total assessment for sohool purposes twenty-two cents on the SIOO. The session lasted only a few minutes and no othor business of interest was transacted. Mr. Hough on the Stand. James N. Hough, who lias been arrested several times for the Foreman murder, atid who recently failed to tell tho grand jury what he knew about the case, was l>efore Judge Norton yesterday for examination. He reiterated the same statements that he originally made, and said that he was not acquainted with Greoubury Wilson, who was last arrested. It seems about time for Mr. Hough to nave a vacation.

All the theaters will give matinees this afternoon and oouciudlng performances to-night. “Fun io a Boarding School" has proven to beau attraction at English’s, and at the Grand tonight, the week will close with a grand double bill by the Lipinan company, Gilbert’s “Fortune’s Toy” and Robertson's “Ours,” both pieces being given clear through. This attraction should insure a crowded house. brooks a dickson’s prospects. York Herald. Carpenters.scene painters, decorators stid upholsterers are busily engaged at the Standard Theater, preparing fur the opening, which will take place about the 3d of September. Many important alterations are being made lu the auditorium, and wlien it is thrown open to the public it will be found very much changed from its familiar appearance. Tne opening attraction at the Standard will be “The Merry Duchess,” which Messrs. Brooks A Dickson say they wit put on the stage in magnificent style. The opera has a “turf eleniert” in it, and the racing colors of tho prominent American stables, including the Lorillard, Withers, Dwyers, etc., will be used in costuming some of the scenes. The company engaged for “The Merry Duchess” includes Mine. Selina Dolaro, Misses Louise Lester aud Jean Deimar, Messrs. Harry Dixey, Walter Hampshire. Frank Howard, William Howard aud Charles B. Hawthorne. Mr. William Barker, manager of the Opera Comique, London, has heeu engaged to superintend the rehearsals aud is expected to arrive here next week. The regular dramatic season will commence, say the managers, “when tho opera has satisfied tho public.” Sims aud Petit’s “Tlie Soldier’s Wire” will then be produced.

Baymond’s, who will present hi* now play, “The Rocker,” at Chicago on the LOth otj.nexi month. Two “Romany Rye” companies will be sent out this season—one opening in Brooklyn on the 3d of next month and the other beginning its season in Montreal ou the same evening. Damage Suit. Allen G. Morris and John P. Isor have begun suit for $5,000 damages against Henry C. Holloway aud William A. Wheeler. The complaint states that Holloway was secretary and treasurer of the American Elbow (stove-nipe) Company, which the plaintiffs bought out, with tho promise that they should have all future orders that came in to any of the original owners. It is stated that instead of doing this Mr. Holloway turned over a number of euch orders to Wheeler, who began the manufacture of the article, wherefore damages are demanded. “Look Out for the Engine.” I am * locomotive engineer, and have been for twenty years, and aui now running on the Maine Gentral Railroad. Life on an engine, as all engineers know, is very trying to health and strength. The continual jar of the engine, and strain on our long trips all tend to weaken the kidneys and urinary organs. In addition to this, ten years ago. I met with a severe accident, and I was taken from under my eugine with severe luternal injur tea, which gave me great pain. I was laid up for six months, and suffered more thau 1 can describe, and more than I wish to suffer again. I resumed work, but uiy kidneys began to disturb me, and my nervous system seemed to be out of order. I could not sleep my water demanded 6uch constant ap , .on that 1 was kept awake a great part of the night; to urinate caused severe pains. I employed the beat medical skill in Portland and elsewhere but continued to grow worse. I was persuaded to try Hunt's Remedy as I found that many of my friends in Portland had used it with great success, yet I had no faith that it would reach my case. However, I sent for a half-dozen bottles atone of the drug stores in Portland, and from the use of the first bottle found a great relief. My water was much better and tbe pain in the back and limbs greatly relieved. I continued its use uhtil l had used ten bottles In all, and it has been t-o mo a wonderful blessing, and I have deemed it a duty and privilege to recommend it to those troubled in a similar manner; and von may publish this for the benefit of our railroad man and the public In general, as it baa completely cured me. Gf.o. W. Bradley, Engineer Maine Central Railroad. Portland, Me., May 12, 1883, Cause for AlarmAmck E. Curtis, of Brunswick, Me., writes us on May 15, 1883: “That she has suffered very much at frequent intervals with kiduey disease, and the attacks were increasing iu severity so steadily as to cause alarm. Her aunt. Mrs. N. M. Small, persuaded her to use Hunt’s Remedy, and after,using several bottles Miss Curds has boon freed from tho severe aches ami pains to which she had long been accustomed; and further say that Hunt’s Remedy never fails to relieve the severe pains in the side and lutense backache, aud Miss C. pronounces it areal blessing to woman for all kidney diseases, and she cordially recommends it for the many ills and pains peculiar to women.” COULDN’T AFFORD IT.
