THE WAR ENDED. rile Bnsis of the Pooling: Agreeinent-Per Cents. To He Fixed by Nov. 15. The war between the Chicago and Ohio rivor railroad companies has practically terminated. The war between these roads was bitterly denounced by officials of other lines as suicidal snd uncalled for, as none of the roads engaged were likely to gain any present advantages from the fight, while their losses were enormous. The trains of the Chicago Si Indianapolis Airline commence this morning to run into the Union Depot. E. B Sfahlmnn, vice-president and general manager, has carefully read the plan proposed for a reorganization of the Union Railway Company, and he will send a copy of the articles of association to the directory of the L.. N. A. St O. system recommending their accept anoc. C. C. Waite, vice-president and general manager of the C . H. Si 1., has also examined the articles, ana Vice-president Mulott last evening sent him a copy which Mr. Waite will to-dav forward to President Jewett with his approval of its acceptance. What is hettersrill, as a result of the meeting held at Cincinnati, the Ohicago and Ohio River pool is re-established on a more solid foundation than ever before. The per ventages of the TifW pod are to be agreed upon by November 15, 1893, or submitted to arbitration. a majority of the executive committee to have the power to appoint said arbitrators. Tne pool is to cover both freight and passenger Ira (lie, and to be in force one year. AftPr the agreement is perfected it is t.o be placed in the hands of the commissioner, and in case there is a violation of the agreement the party violating it is toMtffer ten times the value *>f ticket or tickets or freight money received in such violation. The amount of money so received is to be divided between parties which suffer for such violation in proportion to the iper rentage in such pool. No passes or reduced yates are to be given to control or influence business without consent of the executive committee, which is com nosed of J. N. McCullough, James McCrea, C. E. Henderson, E. J. Mackey, Jj. B. Stahlman, C. C. Waite, M. E. Ingalls and J. JF. Tucker. A majority vote is to be binding. THE BEE-LINK The Road Charged with Cutting Rates — Bears Still Pounding the Stock. Bee-line stock down co 54 points naturally •creates much comment, ami the question is, •what’s up? New York papers say: “The sudden decline in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati <fc Rndianapoils railway was caused by the sale of Stock which had been put up ns collateral on a call loan in New York. The road is controlled by Mr. Vanderbilt and its stock is seldom traded in actively. The fact that the stock was thrown overboard by the lenders of money on it encouraged rile bears to attack the market.” By The by. New York papers have put in circulation h report that the Bee-line is cutting rates from Bt Louis and points on the Indianapolis Sc St. Lottisdivision.both on inlprior amt export traffic. The road has experienced quite a boom in business the last twenty days, and, as iu the case of it be Erie lines, when they had a lively run the charge Is at onco made tiiat rates are cat.

THE OHIO & MISSISSIPPI. Kuinor that the Erie People Have Secured Control of the Property. There Is a rumor current that President Jewett, of the Erie line, has headed off the Baltimore .% Ohio Company in securing control of the road, yet the beat posted people express the Opinion that neither of the companies above mentioned will secure control of the property, hut that it will be’ operated as an independent line. To-morrow is the last dav for sending in proxies. A circular from J.T). Avres, secretary of the Ohio & Mississippi Railway Company, says: “Now mat the. road is about to emerge from its embarrassments, owing in great measure 10 the Seal and ability of the receiver, Mr. J. M. Douglas, it is of vital importance that the shareholders of the road sttonld he in a position to control the management and future disposition of their property. On the termination of the receivership the road will again come under the management of the directors. At present there are thirteen, three of whom retire .at the next election. The committee desire to elect three gentlemen who are largely interested in the shares, and who will devote themselves to further the interests solely of the proprietors *r the Obink Mississippi railway, the committee contending that a majority of The board of directors and managers should consist of gentlemen representing rbe interests of the shareholders, and that The management should not fee entirely controlled by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company," A CRYING EVIL. oow Our Railways Discriminate Against Indianapolis—Cases in Point. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: "sis an old saying that “the shoemaker's family go barefooted.” The same principle would seem to apply to Indianapolis as a railroad center. We have more roads centering in Indianapolis, perhaps, than any other city on the continent of its size, and less accommodation than many places half the size with not half as many roads. There has not been a tiiuo within the past two years but that some of the roads centering In Indianapolis hare discriminated against us, and this condition of things existsjtoday. Is there no remedy, or is the business of our city so insignificant that we are to be con finally ignored! Many of our business men, as well as members of the Board of Trade,have frequently made spasmodic efforts to bring about a hotter state of things, with but little success. To illustrate: During the past year the Bee-lino management have been discriminating against Indianapolis nieaohanr* in pending goods to points west over the I. & St. R., charging us full rates to such points as Paris, Charleston and Mattoon, 111., while Columbus and Dayton, 0., and other points from 100 to 200 miles east of us get rates to the above named points in Illinois nearly one-naif lose than can be had from Indianapolis The result is we are compelled to equalize freights or frequently mis*a good sale. In conclusion I will say, In reference to the statements I have made, I can produce freight checks as proof of same. Commercial Traveler. Indianapolis, Oct. 4. GENERAL NEWS ’JTnll Publicity of Railway Operations Demanded. Railroad directories which make either monthly or quarterly statements of the operations of their respective roads are now looked spon by the business men of the country ns being more competent to handle railroad properties than are those directors who seek to cover up their operations. Btocks aud bonds of .American roads are now so liberally distributed In this country that statements are watched witbinterest and railroad managements which wit hold their statements are regarded wiih distrust. Speaking on this subject, the financial and railroad editor of the Heston Herald says zhat naturally managers are slow to perceive And acquiesce In the loud-voiced demand for greater and, in fact, full publicity regarding the condition and progress of all railroad bust-or-ss. Here is Mr. Depew, tin* New York Central lawyer, vainly trying to avoid granting the demand of the public presented by the Btate Commissioners for frequent and accurate geports of earnings. It is known that the earnings of the New York Central fluctuate a good deal. It is now customary to give our the reports only at favorable periods. Were fte<qunt reports now begun the public would fail to understand, and the standing of the company would be injured. The wise course was to nave done from the beginning what public sentiment is now compelling the company tr. do. It is to be hoped that the New York railroad (Tomn'issioners will exact from the Erie and •1 ntral people the uttermost of the information * r qnired. The need of the day is a more complete organization of trade, and such organization implies full publicity. In proportion as publicity is axacted, the pitfalls of the credit system aro lessened. Miscellaneous Notes. A petition m oh an eery has been filed in the franklin oonnty court, before Chancellor Roycc, graying that the “Lnngdou suit” against the

Vermont Central railroad maybe discontinued and the receivership terminated. On Monday track laying was begun on the Oorydou branch railroad of the L. E. Si St. L. Air-line. The earnings of Northwestern roads for the fourth week in September will show but little if any gain over last year. The earnings of the Toledo, Cincinnati Si St. Louis rail way for the third week of September wer about $32,000, making nearly $07,000 since Sept. 11. The gross earnings of elehty-four leading railroads th** third week of September were $4,782.220, compared with $4,200,650 last year, a gain of $581,579. It, is now reported that the Central Vermont, is really the company which is desirous of leasing the Boston <fe Lowell, the lease to be guaranteed by the Grand Trunk. American roads pay higher rates of interest on borrowed capital thati do English roads. Nearly om half of the railway net earnings in this country is paid out for interest on the bouded ana floating debt, while in England a similar proportion goes to the stockholder. The Boston Journal says of the Toledo, Cincinnati S: St. Louis road that one could almost laugh at the ridiculous figure the road cuts—going into the receiver’s hands, thrown back upon the directors, and possibly now a receiver appointed for each division, which would seem To he the death blow to the concern, for ft is only by hanging together as a narrow-gauge road that they can hope to come out in any kind of shape. The American Railway Journal for September contains a description ami illustration of a device ft.r preventing smoke and sparks annoying passengers on railway trains. The smoke-stack of the locomotive is provided with an elbow near the top, which, by means of a damper, conveys all tne smoke and sparks into a tubular conductor, running back over the cab and tender. Similar conductors run over the roofs of the cars and are provided with funnel-shaped enlargements at the front ends, into which the rear ends of the conductors on preceding oars are inserted when the train is coupled up, thus giving a practically continuous smoke-pipe to the rear of the train. A similar devise was tested a few years ago on the Vaudalia and was a grand failure. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. V. T. Mulott Coming Into Prominence—Mr. Campbell's New Appointment. T. A. Lewis, Western manager of the Erie lines, has gone to Chicago, to be absent two or three days. Henry Villard should he able to lay something by for a rainy day, as his combined salaries are said to be SBO,OOO a year. M. Oilleas has been appointed superintendent, and John Jacobs roadinaster of the lowa division of the Illinois Central system. Mr. J. H. Hyland, the general freight agent of the Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul <fc Omaha road, is seriously ill with a tumor in the ear. J. B. Morford has been appointed assistant superintendent of the eastern and Toledo divisions of the Michigan Central, with headquarters at Detroit. R. K. Yardlev was yesterday appointed agent of the Indianapolis Sc Vincennes road at Freedom, vice A. Wise, who has resigned on account of ill health. Mr. James Harrington, assistant to the general manager of the Mexican Central railway, has been appointed superintendent of the road department, to succeed Mr. G. M. Thompson, resigned. George Olds, freight truflle manager of the Missouri Pacific, bus appointed Q. Campbell, a former Indianapolis railroad man, commercial agent, with headquarters at Parsons, and C. V. Lewis has been appointed division freight agent, of the same road, with headquarters at Sedalia, Mo. The Wall Street News savs that there is considerable excitement among Ohio Central bondholders over the sudden departure of Mr. C. 8. Brice for Europe. He found that things were becoming very hot for him, and took advantage of the excitement arising from the trouble in the Villard blind pool and left. The harmony in the ass irs of the Union Railway Company and the early settlement of the troubles between the North and south roads, iu which harmonizing of interests V. T. Malott has taken a leading part, Ims brought Mr. Malott into prominence, and a railroad official high in position yesterday remarked that were Commissioner Fink to resign undoubtedly V. T. Malott would be the first choice for Fink’s successor.

Local Notes. The Indianapolis <& St. Louis company is this week receiving 2,000 tons of steel rails from the Cleveland mills, the las* installment of a 10,000ton contract. The Uniou Railway Company yesterday received thirteen oar loads of steel rails from the Edgar Toompson steel mill, weighing sixty pounds to the yard. The receipts from the sales of tickets in September at the Union Depot were $124,782. The up-town offices, aside from this sum, sold nearly 523,000 worth of tickets. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway has ordered a number of new passenger coaches and parlor cars for use ou their Chicago & Indianapolis Air-lino division. The St. Louis express over the Vandal ia, which leaves at noon, is now run in two sections, and, as a consequence, the trains seldom fall to make connections for the West at St. Louis. The officials of the C., II tfc D., and the L., N. A. <Si C., meet next week to arrange, for putting on through coaches between Cincinnati and Chicago over the C., 11. & 1„ and the C. & 1., Air-liue. The running time of the express trains over the C., 1., Br.. L. & C. is to he lengthened on Sunday next, between Cincinnati aud Kankakee, twenty minutes. On that date the winter timetable takes effect. A fair harvest, bringing large traffic to the railroads, has probably averted the most disastrous rate war this country ever saw. Even now, with more or less business for all, the controversy breaks out somewhere every week. Superintendent Bala, of the Chicago & Indianapolis Air-line, gives notice that hereafter no passengers will be allowed to ride on freight trains, as the road is now fully opened for business and Has t hree regular passenger trains each way daily over the road. Geo. H. Daniels, commissioner of the Colorado Pool Association notifies agents in this section by circular that dating frou October 1, and until further notice, the first-elass rate from Missouri river points to Han Francisco, Cal., and Portland, Ore., will be $95. President Ingalls, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis & Chicago road, states that nothing will be done toward tbe erection of their new shops in the eastern part of the city this fall, but everything will be got in readiness to make an early beginning in the spring. Train No. 12, east, out of here over the Beeline, makes the run to Boston in thirty-two hours and twenty minutes. The corresponding train coming west makes the run from Boston to Indianapolis iu thirty-one hours and fifty-five minutes. These are the fastest trains run in this country, and the fastest run for so great a distance. Another effort is to be made to organize a pool at Vincennes. In the former attempt so to do tbe Wabash demanded a per cent, in the pool that the E. & T. H., the I. & V. aud the O. *fc M. people thought to be hardly fair, as tbe Wabash people are obliged to haul their freight a considerable distance west over the Cairo & Vincennes road before it begins to move eastward. The earnings of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago road for September were f247,825, a decrease of $17,817. It should be borne iu Blind, however, that the earnings of t he “Big Four” in .September, 1882. were the largest of any month in the history of the roan. The decrease in earnings this year wae $4,520 in tho passenger reveune, aud $13,297 in freight revenue. Western agents of the Erie lines have been notified that Key noldsville, N. Y. ( on the Now York A New England railroad, is opened as a freight station at Boston rates and divisions The following stations on the Milford, Franklin A Providence railroad will be opened for East and West bound business via New burg, at Boston rates and divisions: Milford, Muss., Hopkinton, Mass., and Ashland, Mass. The Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company yesterday began the manufacture of both the wrought and cast-iron Greenleaf turntables The rollingmill company now has orders ou their books fr a fittv-tive-loot wrought-iron turntable to go to Dayton on the (>., H. & D. road, a sixty-foot turntable for the B. A O. to go to Baltimore, and one of the same length for the Chicago A Atlantic. The Canada Southern and the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis have each ordered fifty-fout turntables.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1883.

THE DUTY ON CARTONS. The Coverings on Imported Goods Liable to Duties Under the New Laws. The hearing of the new tariff law on tbo customs duties to which the coverings of merchandise are subject, has not been clearly understood by either tbo merchants or customs officials, and has already elicited two explanatory circulars from the Treasury Department. TUe opinion of District Attorney Holstein has been asked by the collector of this district, and he gives a very comprehensive explanation of the meaning of the law. Under the old law, in determining the dutiable value of merchandise, the value of the sack, box, or covering, iu which it was inclosed, was added. By the tariff act of 1883, however, the usual and necessary sacks, crates and coverings are not to be estimated in determining the value of the merchandise contained therein. Under this importers have olaimed exemption for all kinds of coverings, and insisted that only the net value of goods shoo'd be estimated, thus exempting the covering, a device in which merchandise is offered for sale—that is, the inside coverings oj appurtenances to the goods, commonly called cartons—such as the pasteboard on which buttons are fastened, the tin boxes in which shoe-blacking is put up, et cetera. The last of ihe two circulars issued by the Secretary of the Treasury in explanation of the law mortifies the first and leaVes the whole matter quite as abstruse to the minds of the merchants and customs officials as it was before. In giving the collector Ids opinion of the true meaning of the Ja9t circular, District Attorney Holstein says that “in estimating the dutiable value of merchandise, the collector should estimate the value of the goods, considering their enhanced value by reason of the cartons, and that the dutiable value is the value of the goods as in their coverings they lie iu marketioffered for sale, the cartons being, in a certain sense, part of the goods, as being, in fact, simply the final finish and preparation of the goods for sale.’’ NOTES OF THE COURTS. Numerous Applications for Divorces, and Several Granted—Other Litigation. George Isaacs, a minor, by his next friend Albert E. Nye, has Drought suit against John Edge, demanding SI,OOO damages for injuries sustained by being bitten by defendant’s dog, Sarah E. Golden wants a divorce from William A. Golden, to whom she was married iu 1860. She accuses him of failure to provide and habitual drunkeuness, and wants the custody of their four children. Johanna Harmon has filed a petition for a divorce from Lawrence Harmon, to whom she w r as married in 1853—thirty years ago—alleging Uml he abandoned her in 1874, and has sinoe refused to live with her or provide for her wants. William G. Humphreys, of Paris, Jennings county, lias tiled a suit in the Federal Court, asking judgment for S6O damages against the Ohio Sc Mississippi Railway Company for the killing of a cow on the Louisville branch of the road last April. Theodore Harris has begun a damage suit for SSOO agaiust S,unnl T. Astley, the druggist, and others. He alleges that he intrusted certain property to Astley for safe-keeping, and that, on account of the negligence of the latter, it was stolen. Judge Taylor yesterday granted Alnedia Patterson a divorce from William Patterson, on proof of eruel treatment and abandonment, and Judge Howe granted Nettie Bates a divorce from Aticus Bates, on the grounds of cruel treatment. in the latter’s court, also, the divorce proceedings of Carrie Black against Cassius M.

The payment of total disability benefits was defined. The lodge adjourned last evening at 6 o’clook. 'The next meeting will be held on the third Wednesday in October, 1884. Offering Bad Beef for Sal**. Health Officers Griffin and Williamson yesterday morning arrested William Roberts for offering for sale in the east market the carcass of a steer which wus in a horrible condition, and totally unfit for use. J. U. Hamilton came over to tlic mayor’s onice to secure Roberts’s release, aud incidentally it was developed that it was he who had slaughtered the animal and turned it over to Roberts. He was accordingly placed under arrest also, and both men gave bond for SIOO for appearance to-morrow. The health officers thiuk they have a sure case against

them, and will vigorously prosecute it. Roberts j was arrested for a similar oifeuse about a year ago. Beauties of the Transfer Car. The beauties of the transfer-car “accommodation” wore never more elegantly illustrated than yesterday. It was a rainy day, a day of umbrellas. rubber wraps, damp bundles and soggy baskets, and these, with moist, unhappy people, women, children, men and boys were jammed into the transfer like hogs into stock-cars. The street-car company will not do the decent thing and give transfer slips which could bo made good only for the day upon which given, and allow the people to wait on the sidewalk or in neighboring stores between cars, but forces every one to go through that miserable little I transfer car, which during the warm, damp w'eather, smells like the happy family cage in a | menagerie. It is a nuisance and an out rage i hat would not be tolerated iu any other city in the world. Hunting for an Heir. City Clerk Magner yesterday received the following letter: “Lowell, Mass., Oot. 2. “City Clerk, Indianapolis: “Dear Sir—l have a cousin, when last heard from in Indianapolis, by the name of George Butler, and now or formerly held a position in a railroad office. When I last heard from him he had a wire, son and daughter. I have written two letters and have received no answer. As he has fallen heir to some property, I ant anxious to hear from him. Any information you can give me, whether he is yot allve, or anything about his children, will be thankfully received. J. T. Smith.” Joseph Schmidt’s Death. Coroner Maxwell is investigating the suicide of Joseph Schmidt, of Belmont, which occurred last Monday. Yesterday his wife testified that Schmidt married her In 1876, and since that time had been continually dissipated. Some weeks ago she applied for a divorce, and since then lie had been drunk all the time. On Monday afternoon she and her daughter found him in a fence corner, evidently suffering from the effects of the morphine which he had taken. Medical attendance was at once summoned, hut came too late to be of any avail, and Schmidt died iu the evening. Real Estate Transfers.

In compliance with your request I send you a statement of my case. I will write you with a double purpose; first, to thank you for the great amount of good your medicine, “Huut’s Remedy,” has done me, and secondly, with the hope that my recovery will induce some sufferer to do as I did, “use the great specific and be cured.” For nearly a whole year I was an invalid, unable to go out of the house, and a great part of the time confined to my bed, a living, powerless subject of the most dreadful of all diseases, “kidney complaint.” From the long suffering I became weak from the loss of strength, with a lack of vitality, and very much reduced in flesh. All this time I was taking various medicines, and under the care of our family doctor, and not receiving a particle of help. I had almost despaired of getting well, when my attention was called to Hunt’s Remedy by a boarder in my family. I commenced taking it (unknown to the doctor) with but little nopes of relief. This non-belief was soon dispelled, however, as I daily began to improve. I continued the use of Hunt’s Remedy (and to make a long story short), used eight bottles, dispensed with the doctor, and to the surprise of all who knew me, and my owu great satisfaction, became as well as ever. All pains and aches vanished, appetite returned, gained strength and flesh, and to-day consider myself as well as ever, and only too glad to place my testimony with that of many others. That your medicine, “Hunt’s Remedy,” brought mo from a sick-bed I well know, and many people who know of my condition pronounce my cure almost miraculous. I am happy to say I am enjoying excellent health, thanks to your valuable medicine, Hunt’s Remedy, Mrs. L. W. Clark. 109 Main street. Hartford, Conn., May 21, 1883.

Telegraph Item. Utica, June 9, 1883. Frank W\ Hoffman, clerk of the American District Telegraph Company, says: “Having had occasion to use a medicine for kidney trouble, with a lame back, I was recommended by one of our Utica druggists to uso Hunt’s Remedy, as lie had sold a good deal of it to many of our leading families here with great success for kidney, liver and urinary troubles. I purchased some, and have only used three bottles. It has cured me, and I can truly recommend Hunt’s Remedy to any one in need of the b. st medicine for these complaints.” *" ct,r ‘ >nic <iypoPflfnVß £ | I injftw awl comP W CELEBRATED V *4s w , ' 1 ' standard vegetable in“Wk vigorant is confnHsedl> un* .juahd.
