affairs of the railways Indiana ami Illinois Roads to Form Another Tratlio Association* Navigation Closed and the Railroads Have a Clear Field—Great Demand for Cars to Load for the East. TO-DAY'S MEETING AT CINCINNATI. A Traffic Association TANARUS. He Organised Distinct from the C & O. It Pool. Tbe meeting of the executive committee of the Chicago & Ohio river pool, to be held tn Cincinnati to-day, is one of the moat important yet held, as the pool will be further protected hv agreements to maintain rates strictly. The weak places in the original pooling agreement (have been ferreted out aud patched up. and now all interests center in the matter of per cents, which will be before the committee of arbitration, of which Charles ‘Francis Adams, jr., Is chairman. To-morrow [President Ingalls. Vice-president Stablmau, iVice-presideut McCullough, General Manager 'Henderson, ami the more prominent officials of the other roads which are members of the Chieatro and Ohio river pool, will appear before the arbitrators and explain the position? that their respective lines occupy, and the per cent, they (the officials) think the roads they represent are tontiiled to. At the meeting to-day another lm•portunt matter will come up for discussiou, and [definite action will likely be taken thereon. The }committee appointed at the Chicago meeting to i recommend a plan for a trallio association, 'this association to embrace all roads running {north and south between the eastern line of the fchicago and Ohio river pooled roads, now in oplition, aud the Illinois Central road, is will include the cities of Cairo, ansville, Terre Haute and a number other important railroad poiuts. It is to bo entirely separate affair from the Chicago ami ;lo river pool, and of an entirely different aracter. The headquarters of the association ll likely be Chicago. In a traffio association ids earn all they can, but agree to maintain es, and if they do not, to pay a heavy penalty, lile a pool like that of the Chicago and Ohio 'er is a pool of revenue, and then a division of s earnings according to per cents, to each id, fixed by arbitration. | CONTINUING THEIR INSPECTIONS. iri.e Many Benefits Resulting from SeinlAnmial Inspections of Roadbeds. ! Manager McCrea, Superintendent Miller, and lother officials of the Pennsylvania lines west of [Pittsburg, to-day will inspect the portion of the St. Louis & Pittsburg road lying beftwecii Richmond and Logansport, on which [there has been a largo outlay of money the last )Jew years. One riding over it now would hardly jffielieve it was the old C., C. &I. C. roadbed improved, yet practically rebuilt. A few years jvigo, to run a train at a speed of twenty miles -per hour was sure to result in a wreck; now, a Wile a minute can be made safely over this division. The inspection is something more minute ithan the usual monthly trip which a general pup* ilntendent makes over his line. On the Panhandlo the party is composed of all the .officials having to do with the physical nianage--n.cnt of the property, with a view to decide who lie entitled to the prizes offered for the best kept rpleoe of track. In speaking of these semi-annual Inspection trips, the St. Louis Railway Register isay< “When the chief officers are accustomed kouco or twice h year to go over the road in order •to make a minute examination into its condition :and needs, there are numerous resultant beneffits. The defects are discovered, the needful jobangns or repairs become known, and the subordinates are encouraged into greater zeal and •efficiency. The more frequent such inspections ere, the better it is for the company.

KERSHAW’S DISC. A Device Which Will Make the Calculation of Time Easy. J. D. Kershaw, a well-known Indianapolis ■mn, who is now in Chicago, iu the oflice with ■Knsßell Elliott,auditorof tbeChicago A Atlantic road, has devised and applied for letters patent /or a disc for clocks and watches. The invention consuls of a double row of figures from 1 to 12 and from 13 to 24, the iuuer circle commencing with 13, being placed under 1, and 24 under 12. OBy tins means the only change will be anew disc, and the times a M. and i\ M. will be of no use, the disc who wing without any mental calculation bow many hours of the day have • passed. This disc will introduce no violent innovation, but gradually educate the public to adopting the standard of railroad time, or the (fail twenty-four-hour system. GENERAL NEWS. More Confidence Shown in Railroad Stocks and Hoods. The action of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy iroad, in offering to pay in advance at a rebate 'of 3 per oent, interest all the coupons of the company falling due in the next three mouths, has /brought out the important fact that a number of *the leading railway liues, such aa the Rock Island, Chicago & Northwest, Milwaukee <fe St. Paul, New York Central, Lackawanna, Union Pacific* Atchison, Topeka A Santa P'c, Baltimore A Ohio, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and others, are earning larger dividends than they are •paying, and those companies which are not actively engaged in new work have overflowing treasuries. Other roads which are not paying dividends are earning handsomely in excess of fixed charges, and are destined to be added to the dividend-paying list before long. Such facts as these naturally have a tendency to restore confidence in railway property, and are loading to a speedy absorption of good stocks and bonds by iu restore. Manager Haupt Misquoted. T!x-General Manager Herman Haupt, of tho Northern Pacific road, corrects some or the errors in a Western report of what he said regarding the condition of this property, and Bays, in conclusion, that, “In an experience of over forty years, I have never seen anew road, with the possible exception or the Pennsylvania railroad, in as good condition when opened as the Northern Pacific. I have always felt enthusiastic over the future of this line, which cannot fall to be much more remunerative to investers than auy other transcontinental line. The chief trouble now arises from the fact that capitalists have expected impossibilities, and have looked for immediate returns before the country could be settled or developed; but they will be sure to come, and will toiue soon.” An Unfavorable Omen. In speaking of the recent sharp drop in the •price of steel tails, the Pittsburg Dispatch says the most salient feature of last week was the decline in Bessemer steel rails to $35 and the consequent restriction Id operations by our indie. There is probably little room for doubt that the decline has brought the price down to about the level of first cost. But the history of ♦.hat trade heretofore has been so remarkably profitable that It should bo able to stand the strain of considerable adversity without danger. The principal source cf rroutde in tho matter will unquestionably he the dispute which is euro to arise over wages In the Beseemer steel mills next year and which may attniu serious proportions before It is settled. October Earnings. The Financial Chronicle gives the earnings of Bixtv railway lines and branches for the month of October at $29,741,048. an increase, as compared with 1882, of $2,855,088. The mileage on which the earnings are based wns 50,179 miles in 1883 and 45,908 in 1882. The earnings of lift v-tonr roads from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31 are given j%t $230,301,063. against $210,161,748 in 1882, an increase of $20,139,315. A Pack of Fabrications. N Kt York, Nov. 13.—Tne report in tho Boston Vipers that an application has been made for a u celver for the Oregon A Transcontinental Company, to account forthe disposition of Its assets, A. H. Holmes Rays, Is like all others circulated labour the company for whieh be is counsel—a ok of lies. Secret Meeting of Freight Men. Chicago, Nov. 13.-A secret meeting of the freight agents of ail roads running into Chicago rw a* held to-day, It is understood, for the purpose

of forming an organization to seonre uniformity in the metuods of haudiiug freight and fixing switching charges, etc. Miscellaneous Notes. J. Tilllnghast, assistant to the president of the New York Central road, expresses the opinion that there will be no further traffio troubles. The car accountants have changed the plaoe of their next annual convention to Bt. Louis, owing to lack of hotel accommodation at Atlanta. Thomas M. Carnegie, of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, says that the Lnckawunua mills cannot fill their'eon tract for 30,000 tons of steel rails at $35 a lon without loss. Rumor has it that Jay Gould will next week start on an inspection trip of his Southwestern Hues. His trips ot this character are usually followed by a boom in the stocks of these roads. An order to bo known as the Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen has been organized on the line.Qf tho Erie. It is proposed to extend the operations of the organization to other localities and other roads as soon as practicable. The object of the order is to secure cheap insurance. Erie B"perintendent F. M. Wilder, of the motive power department, has perfected a “spoed tester” that wiil be placed in the caboose of freight train i. It will.it is said, indicate the rate of speed made in any given time more correctly than i.ny de* ice oi this character yet invented. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Goings and Comings of Railroad Men— Newsy Paragraphs of a Local Character. Chauncev Kelsey, auditor of the Chicago & Alton road, spent yesterday with friends in this city. Charles Watts, superintendent of the Chicago division of the C., 6t. L. & P. road, who has been East several days, has returned. George H. Trenay was yesterday appoiuted agent of the 1., B. & W., at Ogden, TU., on the Peoria division, vloe W. D. Noble resigned. E, G. Allen, superintendent of the Massachusserrs Central railroad, was yesterday appointed general superintendent of the Ohio River railroad, headquarters at Parkersburg, W\ Va. Y. T. Malott. L D. Richardson, C. E. Henderson and H. C. Diehl left, last night, for Cincinnati, to attend the meeting of the executive committee of the Chicago & Ohio river pool, to be held in that city to-day.

Local Notes. The Chicago, Bt. Louis & Pittsburg Company is putting up railroad clocks, at the more important stations, of a design which was original with Chiftf-eugiiieer Becker. The announcement of an advance of eastbound rates November 26, has created a great demand for cars, shippers being willing to take cars of any agent who will furnish them. Ou the 12th of Oct. last Wra. Foster, of Fortvllle, threw a stone at. a passenger train. A few days since he was arretted, and yesterday had his trial, was fined $25 aud sent to jail for thirty days. Passeuger-pool Commissioner Pierson is this week investigating the methods by which passenger rates arc cut. Indianapolis would be an excellent field for him to learu the tricks by which it is done. A general manager on yesterday remarked, as soon as we get the new standard time to working well, the next move will be to abolish the confusiug division of the day into a. m. and p. m., and number the hours from one to twenty-four. Negotiations are pending which will probably result In the Red line fast-freight reaching this section over the Chicago <fc Indianapolis Airline instead of over the Wabash—the old 1., P. C. division—-the Red iine leaving the Lake Shore road at Otis, ou the Air-line. A growing disposition among railway anthorities to increase the 6peed of both passenger and freight trains is now to be noticed. The better road-beds and more substantially built equipments make it as safe to ran a freight, train now twenty-five miles per hour as it was to run a train twelve miles per hour ten years ago. A passenger man suggests that it would be a grand idea for the railroad companies whose lines center here to close all outside offices, leaving the field clear to the Union railway offices and ticket scalpers. He thinks it hardly fair that the outside offices should mix in, as they often undersell the scalpers, which seems uncalled for. A stock company has been organized, consisting of George Hunter, General M. C. Hunter aud Mr. Van Nu.vs, of Bloomington, to manufacture the Hunter Smoke-stack and Spark-arrester, which is giving such satisfaction tuat the Vandalia people have decided to equip all their passenger outdoes witn it. The Cuioago St Eastern Illinois will, as well, adopt it. A party who was on the inside when tho negotiations of the B“e-line for the control of the Terre Haute & Southeastern road were pending, says that the Bee-line still have the securing or tile control of the road in view', but hope by dilly-dallying in the matter, to carry out their plausou more favorable terms than those which were dropped a few months ago. News received from the north, yesterday, made it evident that navigation on the lakes had received its set-back for the winter months, leaving the railroads a clear field to move the immense corn crop as soon as in condition to move. If the trunk linos for the next four months can keep their pool Intact, maintain rates, and hold western connections up to rates, large earnings are certainly iu prospect. The passenger equipments of the Bee-line proper, more especially The motive power, are now in fine condition. Within the lust eighteen months several heavy new passenger engines have been built and others rebuilt at the Brightwood shops, and in the rebuilding all modern improvements in fire-boxes, boilers, stacks, ©te„ have been introduced. Yesterday No. 136 was turned out of the shops and is said to be a model passenger locomotive. The Blue line management have just issued in pamphlet form a revised tariff, east bound, aud in addition to the tariff the work contains a valuable railroad map—maps of tho cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. The official east-bound classification contains interesting information ns regards the capacity, charges, etc., at all Eastern elevators; in fact it is the most complete work of its character which has been issued by any fast-freight liue management. The Union Railway Company and roads centering here are under obligation to the traveling public to provide some better method at once by which the latter may bo able to obtain information as regards the arrival and departure of trains at the Union Depor, more especially as under the change to take effect ou Sunday next the traveling public will be more or less in doubt as to the movement of trains. While the question of when and where to build anew Union Depot is pending, a room, even if of small proportions, should be fitted up near the ticket office, and a well-posted man be placed in tho office to give information promptly and in a gentlemanly, pleasant manner. Indianapolis is getting a bad name abroad, so troublesome is it to get questions regarding tho movement of trains and the connections made answered lu an accommodating and casy-to-be-understood rnauuer at the Union Depot.

No such collection of pictures has ever before been brought together in this State, and those of our oltizons who neglect seeing them will have food for regret. The musical entertainment last evening was particularly good. Horsford’s Aoid Phosphate. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. Imitations and counterfeits have again appeared.

TOM RYAN’S DISAPPOINTMENT. How a Former Indianapolltan Lost a Fortune aud Missed an Opportunity to Regain It. The following incidents in the career of Thomas F. Ryan, a former resident of this city, are related in the National Republican: “Some years ago Tom Ryan, of Indianapolis, was one of the best-known men tn Hoosieraom, and quito a power in Democratic politics, State and local. Genial, witty, and a prince of good fellows, he was deservedly a favorite with ail circles aud classes, while his large wealth enabled Lim to give free rein to an open-handed generosity that was as unstinted as it was unaffected. In an evil day Tom and a circle of choice spirits, amoug whom was ‘Pap’ ALvorrt, the shrewd old-time chairman of the Democratic State central committee of Indiana, and Dick Bright, the present, popular sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, concluded to pool their shekels, and give the unsophisticated bulls and bears of the Chicago Board of Trade a lesson in fiftanatecing by ‘cornering* the oats market. The ChicßfF?animals took so kindly to this benevolent little scheme that when the experiment was brought to a conclusion they were picking their teeth and crying for more entertainment in the same line, while digesting from half to three-quarters of a million dollars kindly left with them by their late Hoosier teachers. “This little affair, coupled with some unfortunate indorsements for failing friends, brought Ryan to bankruptcy, and times grew pretty tough for him. After struggling along until every resource was exhausted, he took Horace Greeley’s advice and went west, bringing up after various adventures at Tucson, A. T. Here he made a siand, determined to do or die, aud arter some months, during which he lodged on the clay floor of an old ‘dobe* hut, rented to him at a charitable rate by a wrinkled old ‘greaser* dame, he ‘caught on’ to an agency for a California canned goods house, built up a good trade among the miners, aud began to prosper. “It was about this time that he was afforded one of those opportunities that now and then form the splendid prizes in the great mining lottery where there are so many heart-breaking blanks. Mining claims in Arizona and New Mexico are as plentiful as mosquitos iu New Jersey, and the man who is versed in the ways of the country payß but little attention to the numerous claims to be had at assorted prices from every old miner ami prospector, but now and then among this chuff good graiu shows up for the discriminating speculator to recognize, secure, and make a fortune from. “Some prospectors had been at work In a copper claim that had attracted Tom’s attention, and the results attained convinced him that they were on the eve of a great strike. So he opened negotiations with them, and made a bargain for the claim at tho price or SB,OOO. He did not. possess 8,000 cents at the time, but contracted for three months’ time to raise the money in. Tom at once wrote to an old friend who was in a position to give him the required lift, describing the mine aud bis reasons for thinking there was a great fortune iu it, and asked him to put iu SI,OOO, aud get seven others of his old-time friends, whom he named, to each do the same, and seud the sum to him, with the understanding that he was to have an equal share and the management of the property. Ilia friend not appreciating the opportunity, did not respond. Iu tne meantime, Boatou parties inspecting the claim offered $40,000 for it if Ryan should prove unable to pay for it before his option expired. Ryan wrote again and again without avail, and tried in every way possible to inspire his friends with his faith in the claim, but finally had to endure the intolerable disappointment of seeing the three months go by and his option expire, without being able to carry out his contract. The Boston men promptly paid over their $4.0,000 and took the good thing In. To-day it is the celebrated Copper Queen mine, capitalized for $1,000,000. and not a share to he had for love or money. Ryan is now a resident of Kansas City, in prosperous circumstances; but in order to evoke from him an outburst of eloquent wratn. profanity and grief, intermingled iu rich profusion, it is only necessary to ask him how' it was that he failed to acquire the copper mine out iu Arizona.”

AMUSEMENT NOTES. Rice’s Surprise Party gave another performance of “Pop,” at English’s, last night, and it was well received by a good audence. They will appear again, this afternoon and to-night, which concludes the engagement. Mestayer's “Tourists” have caught on at the Park, and are giving a very entertaining performance, which includes excellent specialties and character business. The company will continue to bo the attraction during the remaining nights of the week, with matinees to morrow ami Saturday. On Friday evening souvenirs will be given to tho ladies in attendance. An excellent programme has been arranged for tho entertainment for the benefit or Memorial Church at the Grand to-night. It will include recitations by J VV. Riley and others, musical numbers by well-known performers, and display drills by local military companies. Reserved seats can lie procured wituout extra charge at the box oflice to-day.

Tbe Kindergarten Concert. Tickets for the free kindergarten concert, to be held at Hadley Si Roberts’s Academy on Friday evening, Nov. 16, arc having a good sale. This charity Is one that should appeal not only to the hearts of the people hut r lie pockets also. Monsignor Capel lectured at Louisville, last night, before a large audience on “The Confessional.” Hon. George ft. Wendling bad a i large audience at the Second Presbyterian Church, in the same city, to hear his lecture on i “Who, what and whore is the Devil.” It is a plain fact that twenty-live percent, of j the deaths in our larger cities are caused by I consumption; and when we r. fleet thar this terrible disease in its earlier Mage* will readily I yield to a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Courh Bvriip (costi trig 25 cents), shall we condemn i h*-sufferers for i their negligence or pity them for tlieir ignorance 1

The Splendid Detective. A city once had a most splendid detective. And everyone said he was wise and reflective, Aud added, “There’s nothing whatever defective About this superior, splendid detective!” More proof I could give, for, said every reporter. “Old Vidocq himself was full half a head shorter, And this great detective!

Good News from Texas. Mr. Thomas A. Howard, of Ilouey Grove, Fannin eouuty, Texas, under date of April 5, 1883, writes as follows: “l have been suffering during several years from severe illness, and a general breaking down of my physical system, aud have tried the treatment and prescriptions of many doctors far and near, and traveled to the Hot Springs and other mineral springs famous for their remedial qualities, drinking the waters and bathing systematically in their healing depths, but all to no avail, as I steadily failed iu health, and although iuformed by my physicians that my ailments and weaknesses were the result of kidney disease of a dangerous character, they could give me nothing to cure me. During the past two years my sufferings at times were dreadful, and I had the most indescribable pains in. the regions about the kidneys, the of which wi re so severe as to render it impossible forme to sleep. While iu this deplorable and discouraged condition I was persuaded to try limit** Remedy, aud after using less than half a bottle my great sufferings aud paroxysms of paiu were entirely relieved, and I could sleep better and louger than I had in two years before, and although lam now on my third bottle only my improvement is very remarkable, and I regret that I did not know of the wonderful curative powers ot Hunt's Remedy before, as it would have saved me years of suffering. £ heartily recommend it to all afflicted with any kidney disease or disease of the urinary organs.” “Hit My Case Exactly.” Pleas* allow tuo u> speak in the highest terms of “Hunt’s Remedy,” for it hit my case exactly. I had kidney and urinary trouble pretty bad. I was recommended Hunt’s Remedy. I took one leactpoonful as directed. I felt a decided change at the first dose. I took two bottles, and have felt like anew man ever since. Please receive the sincere thanks of myself for the benefits which 1 sought vainly for aud fouud only iu Hunt’s Remedy. I will cheerfully give this same opinion of Hunt’s Remedy to any one who wishes It, by addressing ROBBUT D. ARCIIF.R, 811 Linnard street, Philadelphia. March 14, 1883. SOCIETY NOTICES. MABONfC —A.

A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN. [Prom tho Boston Gioba.\ { £Sk Vasra, Editors Tho above U a good likeness of Mrs. J.ytVn E. Pfnkhnm, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called tho “Dear Friend of Woman,” as some of her correspondents love to call her. She Is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence winch daily pours iu upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Cera pound is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of its proven merits. It Is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians In tho country. Ono says t “It works liko a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely tho worst form of falling of tho uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular fpd painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflamdiation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life.” It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relit ves weakness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, rioodachcs. Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down,causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all I im<*s, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs tho female system. It costs only sl. por bottle or six for and is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to porfect health by the use of tho Vegetable Compound, can bo obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp lor reply, at her home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. “ Mrs. Pinkliam's Liver Pills,” says one writer, " are the best in the icorld for the cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound in its popularity. All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sole ambition is to do good to others.
