affairs of the railways. - ■■■ m Personal and Local. The Vandalia brought into Indianapolis last week 304 car-loads of block coal and 108 car-loads f live stock. E. A. Smith has been appointed commercial agont of the Missouri Pacific and Wabash roads : at Kansas City. The Indiana Railway Guide, for March, is out. This guide is now prepared with much care, and its time tables can be relied upon. The Chicago, St. Lout? & Pittsburg road last •week forwarded east from this station 1,107 loaded cars, the Bee line J. 503 loaded cars. The five Western roads last week brought into Indianapolis 3,413 loaded cars. The corresponding week, 1883, the same roads brought in 4,711 loaded cats. On Saturday, between 10 A. at. and 1 r. M., or within three hours, there were forwarded east from the Indianapolis yards over the C., 1., St. li. & C. road 136 loaded cars. Tho Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Wis ; . cousin Central roads, have adopted, on their locomotives, the Hunter spark-arrester, which is performing so well on Vamlalia engines. At auction in Philadelphia last week 10,000 Pittsburg. Cincinnati & St. I.ouis sevens were sold at 120 3-8. Securities of the parent lino, the Pennsylvania proper, would hardly sell at a better figure. Charles W. Powell, once of tho Powell scalp-ing-house, Indianapolis, has established an office at St. Louis* and, through his card, intimates that he is a member of the Ticket Brokers’ Association. The Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific and the New York, Buffalo & West Shore roads are said to have entered into a very favorable traffic agreement. for the former. It relates only to fastfreight line interests, however. John S. Talbot, for several > ears chief clerk in tho Vandalia car accountant's office at Terre Haute, left for Kansas City, on Saturday, to take the position of contracting agent of the Continental line in that section. Elijah M. Cooper, for some time past assistant superintendent of the American Express Company, has resigned his position witli that corporation to accept a position with the Wells, Fargo & Cos. express in San Francisco. It is expected tliat.the decision of Judge Harlan, in the Illinois Midland case, at Springfield, next week, will he the end of the matter, as an appeal from that, will require tho filing of a bond of $1,380,000. This road has now been in the hands of receivers seven years. In the month of February there were transferred over the Belt road 28.902 cars, against 20,806 in February, 1883,-21,453 in 1882, and 20,032 in 1881. This year two more roads are transferring their business over the Belt road than in the February of the preceding years. Mention wasmadein the Journal some ten days since that N. H Kipp had been appointed acting agent of the Empire line, vice I). W. Holbrook relieved. On Saturday last Mr. Kipp was appointed permanent agent. He is also to have 1 charge of the line's business at Lafayette. Complaint is made that truins of the L., N. A. & C. Air line are being run too fast in the city limits. A cruel railroader suggests that they do gome of their fast running out on the road, and i not test the running qualities of their engines . : between Massachusetts avenue and the Union Depot. J W. Finfrock to-day takes his new position of train-master of the C., H. <& I). road. His j territory will extend from Cincinnati to Dayton, I and from Davton to Columbus. Mr. Finfrock* * was educated’ under John F. Miller, of the (J.,.St. i L. & P., arfd will doubtless make a good record I in his new field. I E. B. Sheffer, for the past two years chief I clerk to the general superintendent of the New 1 York & New Engiand railroad, has resigned, to | accept a position with Mr. S. M. Felton, jr., on i the' New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, j One by one, Mr. Felton is bringing all his best ymen on the N. Y. & N. E. west again, j President Caven announces that the stock of ("Indiana & Eel River Coal Company, which proIposes to operate mines on the projected Indian-, japolis, Eel RiVcr & Western road, is ready for ? delivery. As soon as the company feel assured (that the road Will he built they will commence ; sinking shafts at tho mines on tho line of tho i road.

The new monster passenger engines whieli the Vandalia company have recently received are Iperformmg admirably. Last week engine No. ’ 182 hauled the fast express, consisting of ten -cars, up the heaviest grades of the Western di at a speed Os fifty-five miles per hour, and the engineer says, if required, the engine could make the run from Terre Ilaute to St. Louis at that speed. The vard masters of the Indianapolis division of the Yard-masters Mutual Benefit Association met, on Saturday evening, for conference, to see what could be done to create more interest in the association and increase its membership. It is said, but may be unkindly, that certain yardmasters take no interest in the local association unless they chance to bo elected officers. The Louisville, New Albany <fc Chicago people on March 1 commenced to sell round-trip tickets between all stations on the line of the L., N. A. & C. system at ten per cent, discount from full" tariff rates. The rule restricting travel by' [freight trains to holders of freight-train tickets fls abolished, and all classes of tickets that would f be geod on passenger trains will be accepted by iconductors of such freight trains as are desigluated to carry passengers. Tlie Pennsylvania company has resumed its plan of testing employes for color blindness. It ,is stated op good authority that the company I has been able to trace cases of accidents, in : volving the destruction of property and sometimes of lives, to color blindness existing in the -person responsible for the accident. The test is being made with engineers, braksmeu, switchtenders and flagmen, and all those on the middle and eastern divisions who fail are sent to Philadelphia for further examination, where, if they fail, they are removed from position. Some years ago the roads centering here established a system w hereby a bulletin was de Jivored to each road daily giving the number of 'their cars scattered about on the 182 switches ►leading to manufacturing establishments, coal [and lumber yards, about the city, ad it has re►eally been of valuable service." (Juite recently petty jealousies have arisen between the roads, and several have withdrawn tlieir support iu the ■way of (sharing expenses, which seems foolish, [as at several other railroad centers, in the last Yew mouths, a similar system has been established, copying from the Indianapolis plan. Some Warm Competition in Prospect. Tho quiet visit to the city of E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Bee-line system, on Wednesday last, and the official visit of A. J. Smith, general passenger agent of the same read, jon Friday last, convinced both officials that it was time for them to assume the aggressive at this point if tfiey wish to hoid even their present business. It has been a surprise to railroad men that for months past this company has looked on while thoir competitors at this point have established attractive outside officos at prominent points in the city, put their best pnraenger men here and two or three of their most active solicit-

ors. Somo have been selling tickets at their offices while professing to be only information bureaus; others have been purchasing their tiekets at the Union railway offices, paying ■rebates, it is stated, to the purchasers of the tickets, who waited at these practically ticket scalping offices untij the messenger boy returned from the Union ticket office, while the Beeline and the Indianapolis & St. Louis have remained quiet and let their passenger traffic slip away from them. And now comes in the differentiifl rate question, and to protect them selves the Bee-line people must assume the aggressive. To this end they have loaseij the prominently located room in the'Bates House corner, and propose to put sotne alert passenger men here to look after their interests, and there is good authority for saying that, unless wjthin.tha next few days there is a brae ing up bf passenger rates .at tliis point, both east anil west-boiirfd, and tha,sale of tickets at outiside offices, in a round about way, is stopped, the fine line people will place on sale a full line of. tickets to all points regciied by them and their connections. With the taking-effect of the spring

tirngitalile a train will he run between St. Louis and Boston opposite to the train which.loaves Boston at 3<p. m. daily, roaches Indianapolis at 10:55 r. 5L second night, St. Louis at 7:30 A. m. the eeeor.d morning, \fliich is conceded by all railroad men and the traveling public as well to be the fastest train run for so long a distance in America. This advance movement on the part of the management of this road is looked upon with much favor. So far as equipments are concerned, the Bee-line now has as fine coaches and fast-running locomotives as any of its competitors, and with a little sjiarp work it will receive its full share of traffic both east and west bound. The Quicker the Change Is Made the Better. The committee appointed to prepare plans for the establishment of tho trunk-line pool clearing houso are said to be at work in earnest on the scheme and Commissioner Fink is urging them on. There is said to he very little objection on the part of any of the roads interested to testing the clearing-house, as the trunkline pool has seemingly become non effective as a rate maintained The Boston Journal says of the new move: “It is pretty well understood that tho present tonnage pool is on the Tagged edge of oblivion, and that in a few months it will he abandoned as a failure and the clearing-house system substituted. Mr. Fink is well known to ho extremely desirous to effect the change as quickly as possible, and to this end has already appointed a committee of experienced gentlemen to draft the necessary plans and rules and report at the next meeting of the joint committee. Tire new committee is composed as follows: Vice-president George R. Blanchard, of the Eric; President John Newell, of the Lake Shore; Traffic-manager L. J. Sergeant, of the Grand Trunk; General Traffic man gcr H. J. Hayden, of the New York Central: Vice president Frank Thompson, of the Pennsylvania Company; Vice-president Samuel Spencer, of the Baltimore & Ohio; President H. B. Ledyard, ot tho Michigati Central, and General Traffic manager George Olds, of the Wabash. Mr. Fink expects that the clearing-house system will put an end to tho rate cutting, for tile reason that, should it be adopted, all traffic accounts, to the most minute details, will have to pass under the investigation of the clearinghouse officials. In this way a direct record of the money earnings of the roads will he kept, and an equitable diyision of the profits made much easier than under the tonnage pool. Another effect of the adoption of the clearing-house system will be to reduce in number, if not abolish tlie fast-freight lines, at whose door the bulk of the pool trouble has been laid.” Handsome Increase in Business Over Indianapolis Lines. The fourteen Indianapolis roads are again in good shape and business has begun to move quite briskly and a further improvement in prospect as the season advances. Eastward there is quite a heavy movement of grain to interior points. Export traffic, however, continues light. Most of the shipments come from points west of Indianapolis. Comparatively speaking, nothing is going forward from Indianapolis proper. The west-hound tonnage was never heavier at this season of tho year than at the present time, and through March a brisk movement is looked for. North and south roads aro doing a little more, and the prospects are flattering for a decided improvement in the near future. Local traffic continues rather spasmodical in character, yet, take tho week through, averages up well with tho tonnago of former years. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending March 1, at 6A. si., as compared with that of the week preceding. Name of Road. Feb. 23 M&'chll Inc. Dec.

TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY MARCH 3, 1884.

VISITORS IN TWO FULITTS. Revs. Northrop at Plymouth anfl. Brown at the First -Puesbyterkn. The New Providential Movement Among the People of Japan-—President Brown Talks About “Cruelty to Animals. DEVELOPMENT OF JAPAN. A Leap from the Fifteenth to the Nineteenth Century—The Present Milapdo. Rev. B. G. Northrop, of Now Haven, Conn., well known as a prominent educator, and who took a prominent part in tho work of developing the educational system of Japan, occupied the pulpit of Plymouth Chhrch yesterday morning, his discourse being on the subject of the development of Japan. Dr. Northrop spoke substantially as follows: “Japan is unique in its geography, people, laws, customs ana manners. It stretches from the latitude of Maine to that of Florida, and presents a coast line more extended than that of the United States. It is governed by the oldest dynasty in the world. Tlie family of the Mikado have swayed the scepter of Japan for 2,545 years, and oil that account, mainly, were looked upon as divine till tlie present sovereign, who is a man of excellent education and sound common senso, renounced all supernatural pretensions, forbade his daimios to prostrate themselves in his presence, and, instead of allowing himself to be carried about behind curtains, which gave to liis admiring subjects only a glimpse of his imperial feet, availed himself of all such occasions as the institution of colleges, the founding of asylums and the opening of bridges and railroads, occasions plentifully supplied by the rapid advance of his realms in civilization, to mingle with tlie higher classes of bis subjects. To Europe a knowledge of these remarkable islands was first brought three hundred years ago by the Portuguese navigator, Ferdinand Pinto; a-nd then the Portuguese, the Dutch and the Jesuits repaired to her for mercantile and missionary operations, and for eighty years the Japanese welcomed the visits of foreigners. At the end of that period they reviewed its history and came to the conclusion that Japan had never so disastrous an epoch. Among other discoveries they found that they bad been misled into trading away their gold for five times instead of fifteen times its weight in silver; that they had been cheated in most t their bargains, and that vice and disease had become rampant among them. The nation, it was ascertained, had been impoverished, and was daily growing poorer. Foreign influence at .once became unpopular in Japan, and for a long period, as is well known, the nation vigorously excluded aliens from their ports. The strictness of tliis isolation is strikingly illustrated by tlie story of the celebrated Dr. Williams, who was attached to Perry’s embassy, and the seven Japanese sailors whom he endeavored, after they had been saved from shipwreek, to assist in returning home. They reached Japan, but were not permitted by their own government to remain at home, tho refusal being based on the plea that they had been among foreigners long enough to lie spoiled by their bad example. ■When Japan was again received into the family of nations its government was practically duel. The Mikado was the supreme ruler, hut. the Tycoon was encroachiifg upon his prerogatives. Two years later, the nation following the example of Europe in aiming at unification of the government, came the struggle betwoen the Mikado and Tycoon, in which the latter was reduced to submission. This was followed by the abolition of a feudal system resembling that of Europe. This amazing revolution was effected liy tho nobles themselves, from motives of the purest patriotism and with a view of establishing on a sure bftsis the liberties of their eountrv. In this respect, in the voluntary abandonment by tho nobility of wealth, titles, and honors, that grand movement was in advance of any concerted action by the individual members of any class of society since history began. Tlie argument which influenced these nohlo patriots to pursue their self-sacrificing course was that since they had compelled the Tycoon to relinquish his prerogatives that the government might be consolidated and strong, they also were bound, for the same reason, to relinquish theirs, and they voted to do it. Tho progress of Japan has been civil, material, intellectual, moral. In civil affairs they have been adopting the principles of our common law. The material improvements have included railroads, telegraps, lighthouses and chairs. This last is more important than it at first seems. The old-fashioned way of sitting in Japan was to bend the feet, putting the toe of one to the heel of the ether in a. position unattainable by a European or an American, and to sit down upon the species of bench thus contrived. Strange to say this was found to render the people indolent, and, also, te make them narrow chested and superinduce affections of tho lungs. Now chairs aro used in all the schools and in many private houses. The intellectual progress of Japan includes a complete system of pdjiulrr education, embracing eight colleges, 256 high-schools, and no less than 55,000 grammar and primary schools. This lias only been liindered by want of money, and will hp perfected as soon as tho national treasury, depleted by making so many improvements all at once, shall have been replenished. Japan, it" must be remembered, is springing at one hound from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. The postal arrangements, all things considered, are admirable. Last year over fifty mill ion of letters and newspapers were delivered; for. like religion, the press is free. When tile strength and tenacity of ancient usages are considered, it is little less than wonderful that the government has been able to abolish the custom of hari-kari, and others of equal antiquity. The former difficult feat, however, has bee* accomplished, the means being an ordiuanee that whoever committed suieide should have his head displayed On a pole at the corner of his street, to be derided and insulted by tho populace. To a Japanese this is worse than death itself. Great efforts are also being made by the government to repress tlie sale of bad books and pictures, and to crush out all kinds of licentiousness. The custom of trampling on the cross has been abolished. The Christian Sabbath has been made the first day bf the week. The Bible circulates freely, and the receipt of a superb copy of the sacred volume, presented by the Ameneifin Bible Society to the Mikado, was cordially acknowledged by that enlightened prince. Many Japanese officials ami many of tho students in this country are avowed Christians, and the Buddhist priests in Japan are now allowed to wear the costume of every-day fife, to marry, to work and to eat meat. The Japannese are, perhaps, tho most courteous people in the world. In the families where the students here have resided they have always been favorites, and of the two Japanese young ladies lately in Va.ssar College—Miss Yamakawa and Miss Nagal—tlie former was president of her class. One remarkable characteristic of the Japanese is their taste for flowers. The heraldic emblem of the Mikadoo is the chrysanthemum, which appears ou the Japanese coins; and at tlie dinners of the Japanese minister in Washington Hie table is always decorated with that flower. From Japan come many of tho new flowers and foliage plants introduced with such fine effect in American ornamental gardening. The payment of the Japanese indemnity by our government last Jsme is gratefully recognized by the Japanese government as a rare instance of national conscience, for the practical theory' in the diplomacy of the European governments has seemed to them to he, “That the weaker powers have no rights which the stronger nations are bound to respect.” Japan is now open to missionary work more fully than urns ever any other pagan people in the same limits of time. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. An Address l>y President Brown, of tho National Humane Society. Edwin Leo Brown, of Clijcago, president of the National Humane Society, delivered a lecture at the First Presbyterian Chufcli last night, on the subject of “Cruelty to Animals." Ho spoko particularly of thu cruel treatment to which, animals are subjected while being Shipped to the. markets, when two or three days often pass without their being fed or given water, and in this connection he said that mono thqu one -halt the

- ■ ■ .- *r 'meat sold .in market for food is from the carcasses of diseased or crippled animals. 'The object of the Hububio.Society is, therefore* thrive protection to the public, as well as -to defenseless animals. He. urged the Indiana society to ‘ greater ac tivity, and suggested tliat a policeman, employed at a salary of ¥SOO a year, would make the society a power in the city. The protection of animals should be made a business, and aot until it is mado a business will the society succeed in Us object. The lecture chiefly embodied quotations from what had been observed and said by others engaged in humane work, and was .in the nature of an'appeal to tlie public to give the; society its oo operative aid. Sau All Brail at Christian Chapel. Sau All Brail, a native of Burma!!, will give one of his excellent entertainments this eveningat the Central Christian Church. All personsinterested in foreign missions will find this a r& re opportunity to learn of the manners and eus- ’ toms of farther India. His cabinet of euriosi-. ties is large, and his impersonations qf every character, rich or poor, higli and low castes, aro complete. Central-Avenue Church. According to announcement Rev. Dr. Marino preached before the Womens’ Christian Temperance Union last niglit, at Central-a venue Church. There was a good audience present, among them the more prominent persons engaged in the tom-' peram-e work. Hr. Marine’s subject was, “The Duty of the Christian Citizen,” and tlie discourse was received with such favor that by vote of Hie audience Its publication was requested. Meridian-Street Revival. The revival services at Meridian-street -M. E. Church will continue this week. Prayer-meet-ing for ladies each afternoon at 3 o’clock. Chil- . dren’s meeting each afternoon, except Mond:sy, at 4 o'clock. Preaching each evening at 7:30. The sermon this evening will be for young people.

A happy surprise it was to Mr. A. R. Norton, of -Bristol, Loan., when Athlophoros put him on his feet, and sent, him cheerfully about his business. Let him tell his own story: “About three ago I was taken with a severe crijck in the back. For four daya I was unable to turn in bed without help, and ■when lifted up cbmd not staiiu on my feet. I was induced to after aU thousiial remedies failed. luSU minutes aitcr taking tho first dose I could bear any weight upon my feet In two duyo I was üble io get about and attend to business. In two other cases which have come to my knowledge its useJiat? been attended with thosamo results.'* A poor man in Philadelphia had to borrow a dollar to buy a Tx>t,tle of Athiophoros. On account of his poverty his name shall remain a secret. He had suffered ‘terribly from Rheumatism. He gratefully writes: “ I took my first dose Tuesday Afternoon, and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, I had not a sharp or severe ache left. Then I reduced the dose one-half and took the remainder of tho bottle. 1 was able to be steady at work till Saturday, when I took a severo cold and was unable to use my left baud. 1 purchased another bottle and by bed-time I found relief. The medicine is ail you-claim for it;” Investigate AthloPhoros all you please! Find all -the fault you choose with it! and yet the 4act remains, that it is doing what no other medicine ever could do for Rheumatism and Neuralgia. If you cannot get Athlofhoros <sf your druggist, we wUI scnd lt express paid, on rvoelptof regular price—one’ dollar per bottle. We prefer tliat you buy It from your druggist, but if bo -hasn’t It, do not bo persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us as directed. ATHLOPHOROS CC„ 112 WALL ST., NEW YORK. j..-/.

TILLS ■LllflS HIM For 1884:. lailf id Ml) litis. Tli Oldest, Ilii! largest, The Best lepiifi livffr in Indiana. For tlui year 1884 tho IndianapoAis Journals better equipped than ever in its history to serve the public. With an entirely new mechanical outfit, not exaelled anywhere, the typographia appearance and arrangement o! the paper will certainly not be less satisfactory than it has been hitherto, and which has given the .Journal the deserved reputation of being one of the best printed papers in the country. Our arrangements for live collection Os new* from all parts of the world were never so complete, never involved so large an outlay of money, while in all departments the paper is served with experienced and intelligent direction. The Journal is, first, a newspaper. It will give all the news of the dy, from every quarter, with fullness, entire fairness, and so edited as to make its col- free from impurities, aid allow them at all times to he read with perfect safety by every nun ber of the family. Tlie Journal is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general poKey of the Republican party, but it recognizes that, in the work of parties there are and will he wrongs, possibly fraud! and con-uptions. These the Journal propose, to be perfectly free to criticise and to condemn without stint, bid in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a propel regard for personal rights and reputations. And tho right to make this criticism will be asserted and maintained without detriment to riie political character and standing of the paper. With no desire captious oi- fault-finding, in the interest of tho people and of tho party, believing tliat the groa’: glory of Republicanism is that it permits freedom of thought and liberty of expression, the Journal will endeavor, in is ed itorial comment and conduct, to ke> p tin Republican party the agency through which and by whieli, the best thought of the pnopli may find expression, and the highest purpose of tho people ho executed. Other than I his, and less than this, will meet its most vigorous opposition. Municipal government is the great problem of tho day, and no newspaper, standing for the people can afford to permit abuses to continue because, perchance, they may intrench themselves behind party fortifications. While anticipating that, in the future as in the past, the best interests of all the people will be subserved through Republican administration, the Journal will not blindly indorse everything tliat may bo done in tlie name of the party, nor will it swallow every dose that may have the party label. The tendency of tho times is away-from this style of journalism, and the Journal will, jfor itself, assert the right to criticise fearlessly and condemn unsparingly whatever is believed to be inimical to the material prosperity of the city and county, in which Democrats aro alike interested with Republicans. Wo hop© to make the Journal the exponent of the highest and best, thoroughly sincere and earnest in whatever it says and does; a paper of the p#ophi and for the people, as welcome to oue class as to ascJher, expecting a continuance of generous confidence and support by the people.
