AMONG THE RAILROADS. & Reform in the Matter of Granting Passes Desirable. XTiff Illinois Midland Wanted by the Vandalia and the Bee-Line—ltems of General Interest. TOO MUCH RED TAPE The Pass System, Its Abuses and Its Benefits. At the outset all parties who have given the matter attention will readily admit that the graiiting of passes is too freely indulged in by railroad officials. Many parties are granted snch favors who are not entitled to them, and were the railroad managements to get together and agree unanimously as to what persons are entitled to such favors it would doubtless be a wise step. The fact has been fully demonstrated that of a necessity the practice of issuing passes to a limited extent cannot be done away with. Yet railroad officials are well aware that !ii the last few years the issuing of passes has beengreatly cut down. Many cbronio pass beggar* have been dropped from the list, and there •re still some left who should bs dropped. The point we wish ro make is that all parties who nre not entitled to passes should be weeded out, and then those who are entitled to such favors should be granted passes without hesitancy and with as little delay as possible. Within the last year or two a practloe has come in vogue of referlng all requests for passes to the general manager of the road, a practice whioh belittles subordinate officers. A general passenger ageut, general superintendent or division superintendent is certainly as competent to say to what party a pass shall be granted as is a general manager. A division superintendent Is right on the grounds. knows what benefits would likely result from the granting of a pass, and he is not flt for •itch position if he cannot as readily say “no” •s “yes” to a request as the general manager. Eight times out of ten when a pass is wished for by a party who is entitled to one he needs it Immediately. and It will be of no service to him If several days pase before he gets it, the request ha ving to go through the hands of several subordinate officers, then up to the general manager, who four days out of tho seven is awav from his office. This red tape business is annoying, and if a party is not to be favored with a pass he would rathor know If at once then to learn of the fact several days after the request was made. A little attention to this ■Matter would he a preventive of much ill feeling, whioh Is often damaging to the interest of kail roads. THE ILLINOIS MIDLAND. An Early Sale of the Property Now Thought Probable. One of the attorneys who represents parties ■who have large claims against this road states •hat Justioe Harlau has premised an early decision Is the questions at issue, and that immediately after his decision has been reached he ■will order an early sale of the road. The Impression prevails that the Waring Brothers, who represent the principal bond-holders, will bid the roadtn, and then least It to someone of the railroad companies who are anxious to secure the road as a feeder. The Vuualia is said to have matters pretty well fixed to secure control of the property, yet tnere may he a “slip up,” as qnite unexpectedly the eoutroltng powers of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road have awakened to the faot that ft. would tnake s valuable addition to the Bee-line system, •ad they in quiet yet shrewd manner are moving to get an inside hold. The conrt states that when sold the road will be sold in three divisions as originally built. Indianapolis creditors have reason to congratulate tlimnselvos that there was no controversy as to paying the receiver certificates issued by L. Gents, when receiver. $25,000 of which are held by T.Ue Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company and $120,000 by Fletcher’s Bank, as security. GENERAL NEWS. Ars Railroad Wars Beneficial to Business Interests? Under the head “Tho identity of oorporate •nd popular interest” the Railway World, in a lengthy article, takes grounds Vhich differ somewhat from the usual view taken of railroad wars. The editor says: “No matter where lines of transportation may have been oon•tructed, there is a widespread hut erroneous balief that the welfare of the eemmunity is promoted by sharp competition, and that at the worst such contests can injuriously affect only the persons Interested In the securities of the •ompanies, the employes who derive their means ©f support from them, and the manufacturers who supply the material necessary for construction and operation. The fact that a road in good financial condition is more willing to serve and more capable of serving the interjests of the districts it traverses is lost sight of by those who hail every new railway war as a blessing. Men who understand that the public is interested in the maintenance of commercial, mining and manufacturing prosperity, and who would be shocked ut the cruel folly of a teamster whose horses were insufficiently fed, fail to perceive that when organizations representing millions of capital, employing thousands of men, and affording transportation facilities to hundreds of oitiea, towns and villages, weaken each other by protracted struggles, the evil effects reach further than is indicated by a suspension of dividends or a decline in the stock market. It Is true that a commercial traveler desirous of making a long journey, or a farmer with a large quantity of wheat may obtain a slight temporary advantage during an era of rate-cutting, tout a broader view of the subject shows that these transient benefits are greatly overbalanced by the evil that may result from cut-throat competition. In order to properly serve the public • railway company should, whenever local interests warrant such a course, expand its facilities, erect new stations and depots, increase its rolling stock, enlarge its force of operatives and build branch lines, while on every route large expenditures are necessary for the maintenance of roadway, renewals and repairs. A company •o poor as to be unable to yield any returns to Its stockholders can hardly be expected to make nv largeoutlays for the convenience of the shipping and traveling public, yet this faot is iguored by many citizens.” Making: a Good Start. The $94,000 loan recently authorized by Judge Drummond is to pay the employes of the Toledo A 3t. Louis the Juue pay-roll amounting to $93,711. The loan is to be a first lien on the road, to bear interest at not more than 6 per cent, per annum, and to run not over eighteen months. The receiver is to keep, as far as is practicable. a separate account of the ludebtedness of the Cincinnati Northern Railway Company and of the Irou Railway Company existing at the tune of their consolidation, and of all payments thereon made since the consolidation up to the time of the. appointment of the receiver, and or all payments made by him since, and also of all earnings of the two above-named branches during said periods, and to keep a separate account of the amounts pan! out of the $94 000 loan for wages and labor on the above branches of the road. Finality of Vanderbilt’s Withdrawal. New York Special. Mr. Vanderbilt has returned from the mountains. He Is very uncommunicative, but William Turnbull, one of his most intimate friends, on being asked if Mr. Vanderbilt bad really withdrawn from active participation in financial movements and operations, said: “Yes, it is so. Os course, he watches everything with interest, but lie takes no part. His withdrawal is final.” As there have been a number of sensational ru*nors afloat about Mr. Vanderbilt's health falling recently, Mr. Turnbull was asked what foundation tilers was for the stories. lie replied that they were entirely and absolutely without foundauon. Mr. \anderbilt felt that he had carried the burden of his enormous business long •enough, so lie had placed it on younger shoiil■der*. That is all. Hie trip to Europe last June, wbout. which bo much has been said, was a mere •excursion for pleasure and recreation, ar.d not # r medical and surgical advloe of any kiud. Off lor a Trip to the Rocky Mountains. Toronto, Aug. 22.-The directors of the Canadian Paeifio Railway Company arrived by special train, over the Grand Trunk, accompanied by forty capitalists of this continent and Europe, for a trip over the Canadian Puciiio read. Among the number was Prince Ilohenlohe knd brother, Vioo admiral Count Gleichem, of

Germauy; Earl Latham; Lords Elphinsrone, Castleton and Onslow, of England, members of Parliament, as well as representatives of the United States and the Dominion. The distinguished tourists go to the Rocky Mountains aud return m three weeks. Miscellaneous News. The management of the Erie road offers to give engineers one-half of the cost of what they save in fuel for their engines. The earnings of the Missouri Pacific system tor the seoond week in August show an increase of SIOO,OOO, all lines exhibiting a gain. At the next session in Philadelphia of the United States Circuit Court application will be made for the final dismissal of the receivership of the Philadelphia A Reading Railroad Company. The Louisville A Nashville increased its earnings the second week in August $38,075 over corresponding week 1882. This road is rapidly coining out from under a cloud, under the excellent management of M. H. Smith. The earnings of the Long Island (Corbin's) railroad for the second week of August were $97,001, showing ir increase over the corresponding period last year oi 789.55. The earnings from Oct. 1 to Aug. 15, wore $2,180,045.59, showing an increase over tlie corresponding period last year of $224,979.17. The Canadian Pacific rr.llway has made an important connection by which they claim they have a route to Portland and Boston thirty-two miles shorter than by the Central Vermont or the Southeastern. This is to be accomplished by purchasing or leasing the St. Johnsbury A Lake Champlain and the Portland A Ogdensburg roads, connection with the Canadian Pacific to be made at Rouse's Point by way of the Atlantic A Northwestern. The Atlantic A Pacific road, the short line to the Pacific coast, is practically opened for throueh business. On Thursday morning Inst the officers of the road, in a special train, passed over the road, aud announced its completion to the juuoUon of the Atlantic A Pacific aud the Southern Pacific roads, which is three miles south of the Needles. The first car-load of freight was received at the Needles on Friday from the Southern Pacific road, billed to Mineral Park, The Mann Boudoir Car Company has closed an agreement with the New York, New Haven A Hartford anu the Boston A Albany railroad companies for running the Mann boudoir sleeping cars on the New York and Boston route, by way of Springfield, after Oot. 1. These cars, according to the description, are radically different from any sleepers in use in this country, though they have been in general use on the continent of Europe for some years. Instead of “sections” lengthwise of the car, they are a senes of state-rooms or “boudoirs” opening off a corridor along one side of the oar. Each of these boudoirs has one or two sofas, transverse of the car, the backs of which lift up and form the upper berth, while the seat forma the lower. Veetihnle* at either sad of the car provide ample toilet and heating, or cooling facilities, and the ventilation is said to be perteot. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. William Jackson, a Veteran in the Service—vAn Indiana Boy Becoming Prominent as a Railroad Man. William R. McKeen, president of the Vandalia road, is expected borne frem the East today. Manager McCrea, of the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg lines, is resting a few davs in New England. A. Griggs, master of transportation of the C., 11. A D. liaes, is spending a day or two on the Indianapolis division straightening out matters. E. B. Thomas, general manager; Gaylord Beach, chief engineer: William Turrefl', superintendent of motive power of the Bee-line system, and 8. W. Burrows, superintendent of the Indianapolis ABt. Louis road, are iu the city. Traveling Auditors Morris, of the Pennsylvania lines; Krert offer, of the Bee-line; Benson, of the Wabash; Bulllvan, of the Cincinnati, ludlanapolis, St. Louis A Chicago; BUaw, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis, and Coleman, of the Vandalia, are in the city on official business. Wm. Jackson, better known as “Uncle Billy,” on Monday last had held the position of secretary and treasurer of tho Union Railway Company thirty years. His superior officers have never in that long period had oooasion to reprimand him, and never has there been any deficit or even tke slightest mistake in his accounts. O. M. Shepherd, an Indiana boy who left the Bt. Louis A Southeastern road in 1879 to go East, is one of the rising railroad men of New England He is now superintendent of one of the busiest divisions of tlie New York A New Haven (the South Shore division) and is much liked and respected by his superior officers and the men under him. Local Notes. The aide-tracks of the Indianapolis A St. Louis road, in the month of July, were increased 9,978 feet, or nearly two miles of car capacity, H. R. Deling, secretary of the Indianapolis Association of Ticket and Passenger Agents, gives notice of a meeting of the association ut the Denison House on Saturday next. Business of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis road at this point has Increased of late an extent that, 3’eaterday, a third switchimp engine was put into regular service. One of the new mogul engines on the Bee-line ou Tuesday hauled forty-two loaded cars from Briahtwood to Union, and on its return hauled fifty-one loaned cars from Union to Brightwood. The Wabash. St. Louis A Pacific is gradually creeping up to its old style of earnings, the earnings of the second week of August being $381,388. only $5,307 less than the corresponding week last year. The Bee-line express, which leaves Cincinnati at 6P. M, and is known as the “Flyer.” makes the run to New York in twenty-six hours. The train was pat on June 1. and but once has missed going through on schedule time. The last few months the west-bound through traffic of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis road has increased handsomely. Yesterday slxtv-two cars came west over the road, most of them loaded with througn business. There are on the Bee-line system 212 stations, at which there are regular agents; 148 are on the Bee-line proper and sixty-four on the I. A St. L. division; on the Bee-line proper, eighty-seven are telegraph stations, on the I. A St. L., fortythree. An official of the Louisville. New Albany A Chicago road, last evening, stated that the company could use to advantage Buo more oars at the present time, could they t>e had, and the business moving is of a local character and carried at good rates. McHenry is blamed for the recent weakness of the Bee line stock. The Wall Street News says: “TheC., C., C. AI. stock has already tumbled enough in market value within a month to wipe out the fifteen points of excess in market value over the bouds held by the Erie people.” The Lake Erie A Wheeling road, which steers clear of pools, is giving the Bee-line, the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, and oilier roads iu northern Ohio much trouble by the reckless manner it is cutting rate# on both freight aud passenger business, the L. E. A W. overshadowing the Lake Erie A Western iu its palmiest days of cutting rates. The auditors of the several roads centering here, whose tlcke s are sola at th* Union railway office, yesterday made their periodical examination of tlie affairs of General Ticket Agent Donough. There is no significance whatever in tint examination, as the Union railway board, some months, since, passed a resolution that such examinations should be made every few months. Freight business begins to boom, and, as usual, several of tlie yards are so blockaded with cars as to interfere with the prompt handling of them. The sooner roads centering here extend their systems, by getting out of the city limits a mile or two, where there is plenty of ground, the sooner can they handle their business more economically and comfortably. The arrivals of passenger trains are so numerous that the Union Depot management are frequently obliged to throw passenger trains on to the tracks north of the depot, and it is suggested bv an old railroad mau that it would be better to throw looal trains onto the outside tracks and allow through trains making couneotions with other roads to run into the depot. PUMOfUS who travel on local trains batter understand tbo depot arrangements. Clay County Miners. Captain E. A. Rosser, superintendent of the Carbon Block Coal Company, of Clay county, was in the city yesterday, returning to Brazil lust evsnlug. Captain Rosser states that there is a probability of a strike among the miners of the district in the near future. Although he has not beeu notified by his men of any such intention, others have, demand being made for an Increase of wages from 85 cents to $1 per ion. The miners, of whom there are 2,700 in tho die-

They are mostly Welsh and Scotch, only about 20 per cent, of them being native Americans, and a large number are married men.
