RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Chicago and Ohio River Pool in a Healthy Condition. Official Notice of an Advance In Ea.t-Bound Kates —More Consolidation TalkOther Important News. THE C. & O. R. pool. Oral and Written Arguments All Before the Arbitrators. V. T. Malott, president of the Chicago and Ohio Tiver pool, returned from Cincinnati yesterday fiGon, and reports the pool in a healthy condition. The managements of the several roads which are members, appeared before the arbitrators who are to fix the per cents, and presented their claims. The "pleas”—for such they really were—of Messrs. Ingalls, president of the C., 1., St. L. & C.; D. 8. Gray, ■if the C., St. L. & P.; E B. Stalilman, of the L„ JL A. AC.; C. E Henderson, of the 1., B. A W„ t C. C. Waite are said to have been masterly rff rts. Their written arguments were laid before the arbitrators yesterday, and the several gentlemen above named were retained by the fcmitrators yesterday that they might be able to oxplain any points in tlie written arguments the rnitrators did not perfectly understand. President Malott is of the opinion that the arbitrators will announce the per cents, to-day, or on fciouday ut fur:best. The Ohio River Pool Percentage. Cincinnati. Nov. I(3.—The arbitrators, Charles Francis Adams, J D. Cox, 8. F. Pierson, \Y\ O. JJughart and Colonel Hayes, who are to tlx the percent acre for the Ohio river pool, find the task a difficult one. They heard the argument Yesterday, and have been all day and into toJdght. considering the matter without having Ivached a conclusion. THE NEW TRAINS. The Handsomest Trains in America to Run Over the Big Four. The two entire new passenger trains, which the Barney Smith A Cos. car-works, of Dayton. t>.. have been building the last few weeks for the C., £., St. L. AC, road, have been delivered ►nd will iro into service on Sunday night. These trains will be rnn solid between Chicago and Cincinnati. and consist of a postal-car, baggagecar, day coach and two parlor-cars, one parlorrar to run between Cincinnati and Chicago, the other between Cincinnati and Burlington, la. Two sleeping-coaches, as well, will bo hauled on these trains—one between Cincinnati and Chicago, the other between Indianapolis and Chicago. So heavy will these tralus be that two of the powerful McQueen engines, which have l>een running on the western division, have been transferred to the eastern division, and two will 1)6 left on the western division, especially to fiaul these trains. President Ingalls’s hobby is to have the best equipments ran, then see that she trains are along on time. These two features of railroad operation are, he says, what tvill draw travel to the road and then hold it.

SOMETHIN*? IN THE RUMORS. A Belief that the L. & N. and Wabash Systems Are To Be Connected. A railroad man who keeps well posted exguesses the opinion that tlie recent traffic agreement entered into between tlie Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg and the Cincinnati Southern road, insures the building of a road to connect the Louisville <fe Nashville with the Wabash, St. Jhouis and Pacific, and he thinks the link will be between Louisville and Indianapolis, ,via New Albany. The road, If built, would be constructed by tlie two companies jointly. The fact that Jay Gould has been Taken into the L. & N. directory, goes far to confirm the belief that something of the above character is to be done. BhouUl Jay Gould advance the $2,500,000 interest due on the Wabash mortgage Dec. 1, it will be taken as evidence, he says, that Jay Gould proposes to hold on to the property, and in such an event the two interests would not be troubled to raise the money to build the above taiked-of piece of road, and from Louisville to rudianapoiiß would be the shortest lino by which the two Bystems could be connected. THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION. The Organization Perfected—The Penalty for a Violation of the Agreement. Tlio formula of the Lew trailio association of tho north and south roads has been signed by the proper officials of the roads within the territory bounded oi i the west by the Illinois Central road; on the east by a line drawn from Cincinnati to the lakes on the division line of the States of Indiana, Ohio and Michigan; the southern boundary to be tho Ohio river. No commissioner is to be appointed. V”. T. Malott, wno is chairman of the executive committee, is to call e meeting of the members whenever necessary. The management of each road is placed upon its honor to maintain rates, and any party violating the agreement is to pay as a penalty $250. The traffic agreement wont into effect yesterday. GENERAL NEWS. A Belief that tlie Public Will Adopt Standard Time. Railroad officials are of the opinion that the ntandard time to be adopted on the 18th by tho railways of this country will be soon made tho standard for public time. Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, who has recommended the adoption of the railroad standard, assigns as a reason that it is the most effective means of disseminating and maintaining correct time in our system of railroads and telegraph lines, as has been shown in the past by the general adoption of railroad time along the different lines; and, further, he thinks it will greatly conduce to the comfort and convenience of all interests, industrial, commercial And scientific, to adopt a standard of lime uniform. Recent Important Legal Decisions. In a decision given by tho Supremo Court of New Jersey, it was held that if a railroad company uses upon its engines a spark-arrester of an improved pattern, in general use, and which upon a careful inspection by a skilled mechanic appears to be in good condition, such company •will not be responsible for damage doue by a fire occasioned by sparks escaping through such spark-arrester. The Supreme Court of Illinois holds that a railway company may run its trains at any rate of speed it chooses, so that when taken in connection with the character es the road, its grades, curves, etc., and the various other questions affecting the question of safety, it does not increase the ordinary risks and dangers incident to travel ly rail. So long as the increased speed of trains adds nothing to tho dangers and risks of the traveling public, the courts have no right to interpose. Hubjeot to this limitation, railway companies have the right to fix tho rate of speed of their trains as they think best. Official Notice of an Advance In Rates. Commissioner Fink yesterday notified general freight agents of the through lines that on Nov. 26 east-bound rates on seventh, eighth and ninth class freights, and on live hogs would bo advauced on the basis of five cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York. Gossip from the Hub. Boston, Nov. 16.—The September statement of 'the Uulon Pacific Railroad Company shows tho gross earnings for the month $2,994,076; decrease from the corresponding month of last year, $176,239; expenses, $153,188 increase, $274,596; surplus earnings, $1,458,888; decrease $450,835. The Boston Transcript says: “The report from Sprlugfleld, 111., that the Boston bondholders* committee of the Danville, Olnev & Ohio River Railroad Company reports tho road In good condition and indorses Receiver Howard, is not only unauthorized, but essentially false. The committee has not returned, nor lias It Juude nor authorized any such report.” Withdrawing from a Pool. Milwaukkk, Nov. 17.--*Commissioner Mldgeiy to-day received notice of the withdrawal of *he Chicago, Milwaukee Sc Bt. Paul company L om tho lowa Trunk-line Association. The only explanation offered is that they are not satisfied with tho arrangement. Outsiders sav this notion will precipitate a war inside of sixty days. Miscellaneous Notes. President Watrous, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, denies that hie etmipanr is endeavoring to secure control of the New York & New England road, and ho further said that

lie did not believe the rumors that the Pennsylvania road was in any way interested in bringing about a change in the management of the New York & New England road. He was prepared to say that the Pennsylvania road had no Intention of trying to get control ot the road, as there was no advantage apparent in such a scheme. It is reported that the Northern Pacific road is to receive a bonus of 20 per cent, from the Pacific railroad pool, and that the sutu that road will receive will equal s.‘>oo,ooo a year. Tins is the price which the Ceutrai and Southern Pacific roads are willing to pay to perpetuate the special contract system, and to retain a monopoly of the transcontinental trade. So much has been said concerning the grand Northern Pacific excursion and the lavish expenditure in carrying it out, when the directors were pressed for money, that President Villard rises to remark that the cost of the Northern Pacific excursion did not exceed $75,000, which expense was defrayed by the land department in whose interest the excursion waa given. The directors of the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy road have declared a 2 per cent, quarterly dividend on stock ot Nov. 2G, payable Deo. 15. Tho October earnings are expected to be the best yet recorded, with tho exception of those of September, and if so, the August, September and October earnings will exceed those of any previous three months in the history of the road. FKESONAL AND LOCAL. Four Officials of Chicago Roads Resign— The Railways In General. E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Bee-line system, is in New York. C. J. Hepburn, general superintendent of tho C., H. A I , and Division Superintendent Sals, of the C. AI. Air-line, are to be in the city to-d*y. The resignation of James C. Ernst, general ticket and passenger agent of the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg, in confirmed. Rumor has it that H. C. Dering is to be his successor. J. M. Culp, eeueral freight agent of the Louisville A Nashville road, it ts stated, is to be the successor of D. W. C. Rowland, general superintendent of transportation of the, L. A N., wnose resignation was noted a day or two ago. C. 8. Sawyer, general manager of the Continental line, is spending a couple of weeks in an extended Western trip, that he may be able to form some idea what business is to be in the way of shipments of grain to Eastern markets. George 8. Brecount is prominently mentioned as the .successor of U. B. Smith, general freight agent of tho Louisville, Now Albany A Chioago road. Tho able manner In which Mr. Brecount handled the affairs of tho company, during tho recent troubles at this point with the Wabash road and the Union Railway Company, Vicepresident ami Traffic Manager Btahlman remarked recently, showed that he was competent to fill a more important positiou with the company than he now does." The resignation mania seems to have struck officials of Chicago roads. The Chicago Tribune says that General Superintendent J. I). Laying, of tho Chicago A Northwestern, has resigned. The Chicago Times says C. D. Gorham, sdperintendenr, and I). B. McCoy, assistant superintendent of the Wisconsin division, have also sent in their resignations, and it is officially announced that the resignation of H. B. Smith, general freight agent oT tho Louisville, New Albany A Chtcago road, had been accepted, but reluctantly. Local Notes The side-track oapacity of the Chioago, St. Louis A Pittsbnrg road, Indianapolis division, has been increased this year eight miles. The Indianapolis Iron-rail rolling-mill commenced yesterday on a contract to furnish 700 tons of rails to the Litchfield Carroiton A Western road. Beginning with Monday next, the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indianapolis train which now leaves tho Union Depot at 11:20 a. M. will not depart for Cincinnati until 12:20 noon, one hour later. The last locomotive on an order for twentyeight. engines for the Chicago, Bt. Louis A Pittsburg road was this week. All are firstclass engines, and will plaee the U., St. L. A 13,I 3 , in fine shape to go into wiuter, so far as motive power is concerned. Notwithstanding the low price to which steel rails have dropped, the management of the Indianapolis steel-mill are quite determined to start up. President Jones is now in Pennsylvania arranging to secure bloom’s preparatory to beginning operations. Sunday night the Chicago A Indianapolis Airline anil the Cincinnati. Hamilton A Indianapolis roads will put on through sleeping coaches to run between Chicago and Cincinnati on the night trains—not solid trains, ns some of the Cincinnati papers have stated. The connection at midnight going west and at early morning going cast will be close at Indianapolis. General freight agents report shippers overloading cars of 40,000 capacity as frequently as they did when the car oapacity was rated at 20,000 pounds, and it is quite evident that the railroads will have to take some definite action to stop this overloading of cars. Ah most of the 40,000-pouud capacity cars are new, the danger from overloading is not so great os were they old cars, yet it la risky business at best. A friend in New Orleans, who renews his snoscription for the Journal, writes that Northern railroad men are in great demand there, particularly engineers and section foremen; fifty of the latter could get positions, and wages lunging from $45 to SOS j>er month. Men are not so scarce, but foremen are in demand. By the by. New Orleans is becoming an important railroad center. Three new roads are ueariug completion now, namely the New Orleaus A Northeastern. the Mississippi Valley, and the Shell Beach road. Superior Court. Room No. I—lion. Napoleon B.

THE ART EXHIBITION 7 . Farther Notes of the Prominent Pictures L>ip£.tyed--Soiue Excellent Work. One of the most Interesting features of the exhibit is a collection of engravings, from Nos. 259 to 312 on the catalogue, loaned by Mr. Joseph M. Rogers, of Chicago. These are old, rare and valuable engravings, many of them original and first proofs, and the delight of connoisseurs and collectors. Among these. No. 280, ‘‘The Singers at the Window,” is one of Van Ostade’s, a Flemish artist who lived from 16X0 to 1085. The singers are exceedingly grotesque, their heads being worthy of Dore. No. 281 is by Marc Antonio Raimondi (1488-1534), aod represents the martyrdom of St. Lawrence. This print is exceedingly rare. There are three of Paul Rembrandt Van Rhyn’s (16061069), No. 277, “Portrait of Clement de Jonge;” No. 232, ‘‘The Holy Family,” and No. 285, “Academical Figure of a Man.” Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1040) Is represented by No. 286, “3t. Catharine,” a brilliant original impression, with margin. Jacques Callot. (1593 1635, French) is represented by No. 294, ‘‘The Great Fair at Florence.” This Is one of the most interesting in the entire collection. It is filiod with figures, und is a livelier scene than can he shown on oar State tair grounds on any Thursday since its beginning. The great German engtaver, Albrecht Diner. (1471-1528) is represented by No, 295, “Rejection of Sc. Joachim’s Offering,” a wood cut. The proof is verv good. No. 303 is from Sir Joshua Reynolds’s collection, and is Ugto Carpi’s “Bt. Peter.” Carpi flourished about 1500, aud is said to be the inventor of chiarooacuro. The picture of the “Race-course and Cemetery near Hong K<>ng” was received yesterday. It is a water-color, painted by a native Chinese artist. The coloring is good, and the picture, as a novelty, certainly leads everything in the collection. The proquinity of the cemetery to the race track gives rise to the thought that the picture has a deeper meaning than might appear at a superficial glance. The race track lies in a basin, and is nearly surrounded by hills dotted with trees and covered with venture. In the foreground Is a canal crossed by a bridge. At each succeeding visit tho beholder discovers fresh pictures, unobserved before, of a tuorouglily interesting sort. Among the landscapes see No. 1, “A Morniug In June,” by Minor. People who have never lived in the country and do not love the country sometimes complain of the intense greenness of painted landscapes; nevertheless they are true to nature. Tnis June morning is exactly true, and very delicious to behold in these November (lava. Tiie musical entertainment given last evening by Madam Heine and others was excellent. Today is children’s day, and the pupils of the Deus and Dumb Institute will attend iu a body. Wants a Picture Rehung. To the Editor oi tho liuliananoiis Journal: Will you be kind enough to request tho hanging committee of the Art Loan Exhibit to give Wilbur W. Wood ward’s “Osatau” a better i>ositiont The extreme finish aud delicaoy of the picture demand a strong light. Where it is now placed its merits cannot bo rightly appreciated. Being the work of an Indiana painter of brilliant promise, whose untimely death was an irreparable. loss to the State, his work should be treated with revereutconsideration.

LACTEAL LUXURIANCE. The Wonderful Efforts of a Registered Jersey Cow in tiie Milky Way. Admirers of Jersey cattle, and they are altogether numerous in and about this city, are much interested in a test that has been recently made of a cow’s possibilities in tho matter of producing butter and milk. Mr. C. C. Crockett, a Panhandle conduotor, whoso homo Is at Richmond, is tho fortunate owner of a registered Jersey cow, No. 7,329, “Hazen’s Bess” by name, with a pedigree as long and unexceptional as tho moral law. Her productive capacity was so great that it was determined to make an official test. The Jersey Cattle-breeders’ State Association accordingly appointed Hon. Joseph C. Ratliff, of Richmond, and Sylvester Johnson, of Irvington, to mako tho test and report the results of their observations. This they are now ready to do. and the figures show that “Bess” has made a commendable effort to lower the record. The gentlemen named personally superintended the feeding, milking ana churning, and report that in one week three hundred and forty-four pounds, thirteen and one-half ounces of milk were obtained from tho cow, and tw'enty-four pounds aud eleven ounces of butter. This is regarded us a very extraordinary yield, and has not been excelled more than once or twice since Jersey cattle were first imported. The Jersey Bulletin, of this city, will to-day contain tho full particulars or the rest. “Bess” was originally owned by John F. Milter, superintendent, of the Panhandle, and when quite young he sold her to L. W. Hasselman, or this city, for S2OO. Mr. Hasselinan did not tiiink much of his bargain, aim eventually sold her back to Mr. Miller, who. in turn, disposed of her to Mr. Crockett for S3OO. Kxperts say that she is now worth at least SSOO, and probably twice that much. AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE —“MOTHS.’* “Moths,” a dramatization of Ouida’a novel, which is now a reiguiug New York success, was presented for the first time in this city at tho Grand Opera-house last night, and was well received by a fairly-large audience. While the materials aro not specially now, yet the story Is well told, and is made strongly dramatic. Many of the lines display surprising literary merit, aud there is comparatively little “cheap” dialogue in it. “Moths” is purely a sooiety drama, but much stronger and more interest ing than the majority of such compositions. The presentation given it last night waa generally a pleasing one. Two of tho smaller parts were new to the people playing them, and a slight hesitation was noticeable once or twice on this account. Mr. Lwick availed himself of the excellent opportunities offered him by the part of Lord Jura. He gave a manly and forcible impersonation throughout, hut was particularly effective in tne scene with Prince Touroff (Mr. Farrer) in the last act. Miss Eldridge was evidently suffering from illness, but her Vera was done surprisingly well In spire of this. Tho other pans were assumed with credit by Mr. B;ivillc, the comedian: Mr. Bain bridge. Miss Adell and Miss Revele. “Moths” w’ill be repeated this afternoon and evening. notes. Mestayer’s “Tourists” will appear at the Park again tills afternoon and evening. E. T. Good-, licl), in his sensational drama “Monte, or a Double Life,” will bo the attraction all next week. George IT. Adams's “Hunipty Dumpty” company gave a second performance of the pantomime at English’s, last night, and it was well received. The company will appear again this afternoon and evening. The female base ball playprs woro in the audience at the Grand last night. There were two or threo comely women among them, but the most of them looked liko valentines. As tlio ball season is about closed the manager is thirktng of turning his ball club into a burlesque company. llu will do well if be is lucky. On Monday night tho Emma Abbott opera company wiil begin an engagement at the Grand Opera-house, giving five performances during its stay, as follows: “King for a Day,*' on Monday night; “Martha,” on Tuesday night; “Madam Angot’s Daughter,*' at Wednesday matinee, and “Lucia, Bride of Lammermoor,” in the evening, and closing the season with “Mignon,” on Thursday night. The advance sale began at the box-ottiee yesterday und was very large. Corporations. Tiie Indiana Coal Railroad Company was Incorporated uudor the State laws yesterday. The capital stock of tiie company is $1,000,000, divided into 10,000 shares. The proposed Hue of road Is from Jasper to Linton, running through tho counties of Dubois, Daviess and Greene, a distance of fifty-two miles. The directors of tho compuny are William Howard Irwin, Theodore 8. Bell, G. P Theobald,Thornton B. Curry, Addison M. Gazlay, jr., and William Reineoke, of Louisville, and Alfred 11. Ransom, of Covington. Articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary or State, yesterday, by the Williamson Manufacturing Company, of Crawfordsvtlle, the

object of the formation of tho company being to manufacture straw-stackers, wind engines and other implements of machinery. The capital stock is $15,00.0, and the directors are George W. Williamson, sr., Charles M. Crawford, P. R. Russell, T. U. B. McCain, George W. Hadley, Jacob M. H arshbarger and John Nutt. The Turner Building aud Savings Association, of this city, with a capital stock of SIOO,OOO, was incorporated yesterday. THE SCHOOL BOARD. Reorganization of the Public Library Force, and Routine Business. The school board met, last evening, in regular session. President Bell iu the chair. Present: Messrs. Bingham, Bell, Browning, Freuzel, Merritt, Smith and Stratford. Mr. Smith presented a potition from the Rookwood heirs, J. O. D. Lilly and Win. 11. Morrison's heirs to refund taxes to the amount of $314.50, which was referred to the judiciary committee. Bills to tho amount of SOOO 92 were allowed. The committee on buildings and grounds asked for further time to report. Dr. Btratford, for the committee on hygiene, reported analyses of water at tho various schools, as made by John N. Hurry, analytical chemist, which was continued to the next meetiug. The committee on heating, ventilation and janitors reported against increasing toe salaries of the janitors of Nos. 27 and 28, which report was concurred in. Tiie library committee reported in favor of approving tue recommendation of the librarian in regard to the library force, pending tho compilation of tiie new catalogue, as follows-. Delivery department, Mary E. Lloyd, Mrs. E. L. S. Harrison: reading and and reference-rooms, Alice B. Wicks, Mary E. Keatinge; binding and repair department, Emily S. Bingham: librarian’s office and catalogue work, Lyde G. Browning, Belle C. Schonacker; page, W. It. Williams, at sls per month. For night service. Miles Uliflord, Horace E. Smith, L. M. Brown and Paul G. Hay. Substitutes for day service. Bello Marsee. Edith Adams; substitutes for night service. Miss Frank Carter, Charles Moore and Charles Merrill. The conimlttoe recommended that the head assistants receive seventy-five cents per night, the attendants sixty cents, and the substitutes fifty ccnis per night. The librarian reported to the committee that about two-thirds of the catalogue has been edited, and it will require about three months longer to complete it. The distribution of the cards will require a few' weeks longer. It will require nine to ten weeks longei r o 'T.nplete tho manuscript for the printer. The report was discussed at some length and then adopted. A motion was made that hereafter the janitor be paid out of the library fund. Adopted. Tho board then adjourned. Federal Court ludictinents.

Indictments were returned against the following named persons for counterfeiting, all of whom, with the exception of Wheaton, were members of the Southern Indiana gang raided a few days ago: Richard T. Comer and Laura Ann Comer, of Freuchtown; Jacob C’rezelous, of Marengo: David Wesley Woods, Zimriah Kinder, Henry Grossman, John Bernard Sinither aud Joseph A. Perkins, of Bteudal; Columbus Houchins, Jesse Houchins. Joseph Houchins, John P. Taylor and William Redman, of Pikesville, and Dwight 11. Wheaton, of Logauaport.

Litigation Over Dog-Bites. Justice Foihleiuan has given John Callaghan judgment for SSO for damages occasioned by being bitten by Charles Neimeyer's dog. Before acting Judge Howland und a jury, tlio damage suit of George P. Becker against Alfred J. Ralph, is on trial. The demand is made for SSOO for injuries alleged to have been sustained by being bitten by tho defendant’s dog, and the case has some ludicrous features. Mr. Ralph brought up a number of witnesses, among whom wero several ladies, to testify to the character of tho dog—his amiable disposition and his general moral worth. The dog hi ins If was iu court, and, apparently, was about tho most harmless animal of his kind inexistence. Ho played about the room, made friends with everybody, showed off his accomplishments by various tricks, aud was, altogether, agreeable. The oase will got to the jury to-day. Death of John H. Fleming. A special to the Journal from Terro Haute, last night, gives the following aoconut of the death of John H. Fleming, w*ho was employed iu this ciry: II. Fleming, of tho clerk’s office of tho Indiana Supreme Court, was found dead sitting in a chair at tiie residence of his sister, Mrs. Dr. Willeen, this morning. lie had been complaining of bronchial troubles, and came hero a few days ugo for rest. He was a brothor of ox-Stato Treasurer Flemiug. The remaius were taken to Fort Wayuo.” An Adverse Report. The applications for the pardon of Oscar M. Goodwin, the Logansport bank cashier, and Dr. A. G. Miller, the pension surgeon, both of whom are now serving terms at the penitentiary, have been reported upon adversely by United States Attorney Holstein to the Attorney-general. SONGS NEVER SUNG. “How does that verso run! Something like this isn’t itl ‘Thero are who touch the magic string. And noisy fame is proud to win them; Alas! for those who never sing. But die with all their music in them."' “Yes, that’s beautiful, pathetic, und true,” said your representative. “The poet alludes to people who are somehow suppressed, and never get their full allowance of Joy and air. Which reminds me of a letter shown me tho other day by Hiscox A Cos., of New York, signed by Mr. E. C. Williams, of Chapman, Snyder county, Pa., a prominent businesa man of that place. Ho writes: “‘I have suffered with n thraa for over forty years, and had a terrible arrack tn December and January, 1682.

HAZELTON The superiority of the “HAZELTON” PIANOS is recognized and acknowledged by the highest musical authorities, and the demand for them is as steadily increasing as their merits are becoming more extensively known.
