RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. !The C. & O. R. and the Passenger Pools in a Healthy Condition. ‘Prospective Official Changes on the T... It. A. & C.—ltems of a General and Local Character* OUR TOOL HEARD FROAI. *Tbe Executive Committee Agree to Let Well Enough Alone. The members of the executive committee of the Chicago A Ohio river pool, aro one by one returning from tlie New York meeting, and report that the pool is now on a solid basis and -working harmoniously. On the opening of the meeting in New York, there is said to have been a sharp, short battle of words, but the smoke ■soon cleared sway, the committee began to reason coolly with each other, and it was finally decided to operate the pool for the present on the per oerua. as now awarded, and that if in the future It should be lonnd to oe unjust to either party, steps should be taken to rectify the matter. THE PASSENGER POOL. The Meeting Called for Next Week Looked Forward to with Interest. The passeuger department of the Joint executive committee meets iu New York on Tuesday next, to consider means by which the passenger pool oan be better maintained than heretofore, and to extend its workings to points not now covered by it. Hopes are entertained that the meeting Will bo able to surmount the ditliculties In the way nf a successful working of the pool. While there is some difference of opinion as to what will be the result of this meeting, none except soliciting passenger agents go so far as to predict a disruption of the pool. While the orders of Commissioner Pierson to some of the Western roads may seem subitrary, none will denv but such ordeis, although* ihny have not been earned our. to the le:ter havo done mnoh too force a maintenance of rates, and all the dirty work which certain roads have done has been done through the scalpers. Those who aie well posted in passenger business express the opinion that the existing differential rate agreement will be continued, and that the pool liseir will le stronger after this conference of passenger mon than it now is. The fact is that general paaeouger agents of the leading roads of tho country are coming out in favor of the maintenance of rates; but one of the greatesttroubles now ou their bands are the roads which are paying large corambsiuns to scalpers, and bow to put. a check to this mode of warfare is their study, turning tickets of certain roads to the wall not having cheeked sales through M*alpIng offices. The rate-cutting by the Nickel-plate, mentioned in tho telegraph, is thought to bo or little importance, as the road is not in shape or running its trains in a manner to draw passenger business to the road. RUMORS OF OFFICIAL CHANGES. .John B. Crsorf Offered the Position of General Manager of tlie L., N. A. & C. John B. Carson, late geuerai manager of .the Hannibal <fe St. Joe road, lias, in company with Colonel Bennett Young, president of the Louisville, Now Albany & Chicago road, for two days past been looking the system over, traveling on aspecial train, and there is good authority for the statement thut Mr. Carson, wlioiß a railroud man of large executive ability, has been offered nnd probably will accept the position of general manager of the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago system, which includes the Chicago A Indianapolis Air-line. It is an open secret that there has been within the last few months some clashing of authority between the higher officials of the road. tho troubles dating back prior to the resignation of A. B. Southard, general freight agent of the road. As yet no general freight agent has been appointed to succeed H. B. 6uiith, who recently resigned, yet there Is the ©eat or authority for the statement that the position was offered again to A. B. Southard, and his acceptance depends on the issue of oerfiMn questions concerning the future management or the L., N. A. AC. property, or, io other words, he w ill accept providing iie can oot only be general freight agent by title but, as well, have the authority which the position usually allows a general freight agent to have.

GENERAL NEWS. Rmployes on Southern Roads Organizing Mutual Renefit Associations. Employes on Southern loads have begun to form mutual benefit associations similar to those on the C., 11. &D. and Bee-line systems, which have done much to relievo their members when sick or disabled. When properly taken hold of, it is little trouble to organize and keep In operation such charitable organizations, and the expense to members is trifling as compared to its benefits. A few months ago six men employed by tho railroad companies et New Orleans, La., formed a club for tho purpose of assisting one another In tun case of sickness. The organization increased so rapidly in numbers that now there arc two societies of the kind, composed of over 600 m *n, known as the Freight-handlers’ Benevolent Association, Nos. 1 and 2. Recently a committee from the organization waited upon the officials id the different roads entering tiie city, and requested that they have the. assurance of steady employment, and not be driven out by tho numerous tramps who infest the city at this time of the year, and tin* railroad managements promised to carry out their wishes. Indintiapplis opens an excellent field for organizations of similar character as those in New Orleans, there being several thousand railroad men who call this city their home. Takes a Rosy View of the Situation. Mr. Frederick T. Brown, of the firm of E. L. Horton A Cos., lias just returned to New York from an extended trip through the West and Northwesr, and he. tells tho friends of railroad properties that “the physical condition of the roads is excellent. All that I saw were in firstrate condition. They have all tiie modern improvements. Tiie railroads have had more oust ness this fall than they could do. Tho prospect for the winter is excellent. Elevators are full mi all ihe dues. The season has been very favorable fr breaking up ground; that Ih, for fall plowing.” Regarding tlm troubles in the Northwest, he states that “railroad traffic is very fairly divided between the Br. I'util and iho Northwestern roads. Rock Island has come iiiTO that section over the Minneapolis A Sr.. Louis roal, and there is a good deal of talk about disturbances aid disagreements. I think, however, that there is too lunch business tor the railroads to warrant any seiioits tight. There tuny be a temporary break in rates, but tho matter will be quickly settled up.” The Line Virtually Killed. Besides the Now York Central, tho Lake -Shore, the Michigan Central, the Canada Southern, the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati A Indianapolis, and the Indianapolis A St. Louis roads will withdraw from tho Iloosao Tunnel line on March 1, 1884. All these roads contributed from one-half to three-quarters of the total number ol oars on the Tunnel line. The only Western road left in the line directly con necting with tiie West Shore is the Great Western, ot Canada. Friends of i lie New York Central say t lint its action will virtually kill the Iloosnc Tunnel line, as t lie. Grand Trunk of Canada is not likely to give busines* to the Fitchburg road over (lie West Shore to tho detriment of their owu independent New England lines. None So 11110*1 ns Those Who Will Not See. Over $300,000 of the Danville, Olney A Ohio ■River road bonds have been deposited with the -Boston Trust Com pan v under the plan of the trustees and the bondholders’ committee for the reorganization of the road iu their interest. A bondholder who believes Receiver Howard’s -datomcat onubs Austin Corbin, in an inter's lew with a reporter of the Boston Herald, is 'follows: “J.t is claimed, nnd I think truly, that tho*vague ami indefinite promise of chose who would create distrust is In the interest of tho managers of the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, a neighboring corporation, of which Air. Corbin is president. Rpcullln<* > the representations which indn.-ed the t>nr3hase of these bonds by tho. Bosion public common business prudence would seem to dml

fate that bondholders should keep the property they have now so dearly bought under their own control.” Go on, gentlemen; you can sink several hundred thousand more dollars on the road before it will boa reapectaldo road, even. A prominent railroad attorney, m speaking of the action of the D , O. A O. It. bondholders, remarked yesterday that none wero so bliud as those who would not see. Flow capitalists could be deceived us regards the condition of the property was a mystery to him. Giving Commissioner Fink a Rest. On the 15th of November it will be two months since any competitor of the Erie lines has annoyed Commissioner Fink with tales of cutting rates by the lines above mentioned. This is causing some comment in railroad circles, as the Erie lines now have all their available cars | in constant service, and the inducements to cm rates is now as great as at the time the charges were made. Possibly the fact that the roads which made the complaints have been having more property to carrX of late has prevented their worrying over the affairs of the Erie people, but it i9 more probable that said competitore have found that Hie Erie lines have so many friends uiuong shippers that the more they abuse them the heavier business they do. Receiver Douglas’s Statement. John M. Douglas, receiver of the Ohio A Mississippi road, yesterday filed his statement in the United States Court for November, showing: Cash on hand Nov. 1, 1883, $105,108.32; receipts, $545,32(5 80: disbursements, $529,089.36; cash ou hand Nov. 30, $121,345.70. The Nickel-Plate's Cut In Rates. PiTTSimiso, Dec. 7.—General Passenger Agent Ford, of the Pennsylvania Company, says the aotion of the Nickel-plate, in cutting passenger rates between New York and Chicago, will not precipitate a general rate war. He says the Nickel-plate is not- in the passenger pool, and therefore its action is not important. Miscellaneous Notes. The Denver A Rio Grande road is being operated this year ou GA per cent, of its gross earnings. The Chicago A Rock Island directors have declared thewcustomary quarterly divideud of per cent, payable Feb. 1. Flattering reports of the prospects of the Fort Wayne, Peoria A Galesburg railroad come from all points on the line. The right of wav is being secured ar up-at points and the preliminary work is progressing finely. A large freight engine hnsjust been completed by the Boston & Albany Railroad Company. It has double cylinders on each side, anew experiment in rmii road locomotion. Its performance •will be watched with interest by railroad men. The first statute nutorizing tho construction of a railroad in Pennsylvania, was passed on March 31, 1823, and on April 16, 1834. tlie first train was run from Philadelphia to Columbia. That was the beginning of the Pennsylvania railroad, nnd its semi-centennial will be appropriately celebrated by the great corporation. The Railway Register says That between ignorant. commisdoners and legislative politicians the. railroads are having a tough time. The Railway Commissioners of Tennessee and Kansas are showing a lamentable ignorance and want of regard for the true interests of the people bv cutting down freight tariff's arbitrarily. It is said tbet the Kansas commissioners do not know' enough to make opt a tariff. They cut down the rate on one article between two stations and order the companies to make rhei* tariff less, in exact proportion to such reduction.

PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Railway Men Expectation That Gan. Wilson Will Retire. A. Donaldson, auditor of the Ohio & Mississippi road, was iu the city yesterday. E. Timmerman was yesterday appointed agent of the C., 1., Bt. L. A C. at Batesville, Ind., vice J. H. Nichols, resigned. C. M. Muuhall, contracting agent of the Erie lines at Cleveland, Ohio, is in tho city, the guest of hisbrotner, L. W. Munhall. Superintendents Miller, Watts, McKenna and Turner were at. Columbus on yesterday for a conference with Manager Me Ore a. W. H. Phelan Ims been appointed freight and tieker. agent at Pierson, on the west end of the Vundalia, to succeed J. G. Kuebel, resigned. Georgo Washington Smith, general passenger agent of the Lake Eri A Western road, has removed his headquarters to Bloomington, 111. 11. R Duval, general manager of the Erin fastfreight lines, ami T. A. Lewis, western manager, return this morning from a Western trip. Mr. Duval wiil spend the Subbath In the city, the guest of Mr. Lewis. The belief prevails In railroad circles that General Wilson, president of the New York A New England road, will be retired ut the coining annual election; in fact n is stated that the powers that be. nave decided upon Vice-president. Clark, of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road, fot* president nnd general manager of tiie Now York A New England, and Thomas Niokersnn for financial manager, whatever that, may he. Tliis is understood to tn an the supremacy of the party represented by Messrs. Lee, Higginson A Cos., nnd that there will oe no lease to Erie or any other road, for tho present at least. Local Notes. A scarcity of coal-cars is interfering somewhat with the movement of block coal over the T. H. A I. road. Plans hare been prepared for extensive improvements to the depot of the Indianapolis A St. Louis company at Terre Haute. A railroad man wbo rode over the Chicago A Indianapolis Air line this week says if the company would expend about $15,000 in graveling the road-bed, it would l>c an excellent one. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis A Chicago company is raising tho grade at Lawrencehnrg, where the road cross* s the Ohio A Mississippi, four feet, for a considerable distance. The Vundalia company will, on New Year’s day, present, each train man on the road with a new suit, that being the date fixed upon for conductors, baggagemen, brukeiucu uud porters to first appear iu uniform. The Wabash people announce that anew line of fourteen sleeping-cars for San Francisco will be put on Jan. 1, composed of seven new and elegant Pullman cars nnd Seven new and elegant Central Pm ific ears, the cars to run through between St. Louis and the Pacific coast. Last month 5,467 car-loads of coal were shipped from block-c<*al mines In Clay county; 1,541 car-loads of tilts coal were taken by Indianapolis dealers and tmitiitfaeinrers. The remainder went to railroads which use this coal, and to northern manufacturing cities nnd towns. Paymaster Allen, of tho Trdlana, Bloomington A Western system, ro-ilav pays the simps at this point, Monday he pays on the Bt. Louis division; Tuesday on the Peoria division, Wednesday on the middle division, Thursday on the Ohio division, Friday on the Ohio Southern, Saturday on t)>e Cleveland, Columbus A Hockiug Valley division. The suit of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton Company vs. the Union Railway Company, which was carried to tire Indiana Supreme ■Court, Attorney Marshall, of the C\, H. A D.. says, has been practically shelved, as the C., H. A D. will doubtless become a member of tire Union Rail way Company under the reorganization schnfie. The Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg road yesterday received from Athens, 0., u turn-table sixty feet in length, which is to be put in at the new shops in the eastern part of the city. Tire table is superior in Its const ruction to any In this part of tho country, differing from the Greenleaf table in its being strengthened by trusses above instead of by a wrotight-iron plate below. President Jones, of the Indianapolis steel-rail mill, Says that the compsnv have about come to a decision to expend $200,000 more Hi the erection of buildings, converters, etc., in which to manufacture their own blooius. With this improvement completed and flic advantages their now mill possesses, the Indianapolis mill could manufacture rails at a price to compete favorably with the best mills in tho country. Tim express companies are already, in their bnslnesH, feeling the approach of tire holidays. Officials of the express companies state that this has been an unusually prosperous year with them, in fact their net earnings will foot up largely In excess of any former your. This being the case, it would ho an excellent idea for Superintendent Si on no to please tlm employes by notifying: them that tlieir pav would im advanced New Year’s. In business circles express companies stand below par in tiie salary question when the responsibilities placed upon their men are considered. The Woman’s Exchange. The regular monthly ineetiug of tiie board of managers for the. Exchange for Woman's Work was held on Thursday afternoon In Christ Church chapel. Tho reports of tho different committees ehoweU an epeotiruglng outlook for

the exchange. One chief source of congratulation was tiie success of the business men’s lunch given by the board during the week previous. The treasurer reported the net proceeds to be $156.62. On motion* a vote of thanks was tendered t'> the many kind friends who so generously aided, by their help and donations, in making the lunch a financial success. Special thanks were tendered to Mr. Conduit for the room* Mr. Charles Meyer for 500 napkins, Archdeacon for pickles aud sauces, Taggart for jrackt-rs, Fromraeyerfor dishes, Kingan A Co.for hams, and Schrader for dishes, knives and forks. The managers thank the public generally for their liberal patronage, nnd would like to oall attention to a very tine line or Christmas goods now on hand, which, they hope for the sake or the consignors, who need the money, will receive a geuerous patronage.
