affairs of the railways. Personal and Local. The Vandalia is now handling on tho several divisions in the system, an average of 275 carloads of coal daily. The employes of the Union tracks and tho Jtelfc road, some 190 in number, were paid yesterday for May services. The meeting of the joint executive commit tee (passenger department! has been postponed f rom June 17 to June T 9. The Terre Haute car works on Monday commenced the building of fifty superior refrigerator care for the Merchants’ Despatch. The New York. West Shore & Buffalo is the fifteenth road which has tumbled into the hands of a receiver since tho year 1884 was ushered in. The Wabash, Jnne 13, will on a through fast train between Chicago and Kansas City, via Jacksonville and Peoria, to known as the “caanon ball.” Pour miles of new side track has been laid in the last sixty days on the middle division of the 1., B. & W. road, and three miles additional on •the Ohio division. Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash system, telegraphed last evening that he would pay on the Indianapolis division on Thursday or Friday of this w r eek for April service. V. T. Malott's sudden departure for New York was in answer to a telegram asking him to come there to confer about the dropping of the lease of the fP. & C. by the Wabash people. Nobhv parlor cars were put on yesterday to run chi the (Lav trains over the L, K A. & <\ Airline and the Chicago & West Michigan road, between Indianapolis and Grand Rapids. The story is again revived t hat Charles Francis Adfanru jr., is to succeed Sidney Dillon as presi deal of the Union Pacific railroad, but no one knows how ranch foundation there is few’ it. Wm. Cadwcll, traveling passenger agent. New York, West Shore Sz Buffalo railway,, is in the city on official business. He states that the Went Shore line is getting quite a sprinkling of {Managers from this section. Three new standard mogul engines are building at tho Cleveland shops, of the Cleveland, Cafennbas, Cincinnati & Indianapolis. Each will weigh forty-two tons, and will have 18x24 inch cylinders, and 56-inch driving--wheels. SL M. Reece, agent of the White line at Cincinnati. spent yesterday in the city. He states that at Cincinnati, as well as in Indianapolis, the Traders' Dispatch is getting the lion’s share of Ihe business, and it is. as well, charged that the line is under-billing in weights. flewers and plants shipped from tho Chicago 2r*r houses of the Pennsylvania lines, are being ■diatributed this week at stations on the Indianapolis division. ignite a largo shipment was reoerwd yesterday by Col. Perry, to be set out in Mm grass plats about the city freight depot. General ticket agent Donough. at the Union Depot yesterday furnished to pupils at the Deaf and Dumb Institute 278 tickets, and to pupils of the Blind Asylum. 180 tickets. Most of tho pupate go to their respective homes to spend their vacation. All roads furnish them transportation at two cents per mile. A. H. Palmerton's patent wrecking' frog was tested yesterday on the Union tracks in the repfacing of an 1., P. A W. passenger coach which had left the track. Tho frog did ad snirmblo service and indications are that there is more money in it to ex Conductor Palmerton than there would be in running a train during his natural life. Oliver Watson, general manager of the Bvfcto, New York & Philadelphia, has sent in his resignation to President Gardner. With the miment of Mr. Watson tho office of general manager will practicalty be abolished. President Gardner assuming a portion of the duties of the office, while the authority of General Superintendent Gatchell will be extended over the operating and transportation departments. The bears are making poor headway in their hammerings of the Louisville, New Albany & <l bicago road. The fact is that 80 per cent, of tho stock, and 72 per cent, of the itoails resting upon the property are held and owned by five men. all of whom have great confidence in the property, and one of the number ways neither one of them will let go their holdings, should crops be poor and earnings light for two or three years to come. W. S. Spiers, who has been for the last few days engaged making the preliminary arrange--a. cats for establishing the east-bound pool at point, left last evening for New York. An attempt will be made, he states, to fix the per cents tor the seven roads which will be in the pool. He fears little will be accomplished, how vver. so at variance are the views of the railroad officials interested as to the per cents their respective roads are entitled to* Ladies for agents at the smaller stations on sou*; of the Eastern roads arc proving very efficient They keep tho waiting rooms more cleanly and attractive, there are fewer loiifeis about the country stations, and tobacco users are not given the privileges that male agents grre them. Miss Mary itanahan is agent of the Rochester & Pittsburg at Orchard Park Tho windows of the telegraph office are neatly draped with lace curtains, while tho desks during the rummer are filled with flowers. The passenger trains over the Terro Haute and Logan sport division of the Vandalia make the run from Terre Haute to Plymouth. 160 Tnita* iu less than six hours, and make thirty &evtNi stops at stations and railroad crossings. YVheo the Me Keen syndicate purchased the ]* roper ty, ten hours from Terre liauto to Logansport was considered good time, and the roau bed was in such condition that passengers considered themselves lucky to get through in that time ?iifely. The size of cars used in tho transportation of lire stock, they varying from twenty seven to thirty four feet in length, has in the past led to trouble about rates. Between the roads west of the Mississippi river it has now been agreed that cars from twenty nine feet to thirty-one feet in length shall be considered standard. Cars of twenty seven feet in length and less than twenty wine feet will be charged 29.94 per cent, of the tariff rate on stannard cars, and cars of thirty' one feet and over will be charged 110 per cent. of standard rates. The brothofhoods of locomotive engineers, locomotive firemen, yard-masters, train dispatchers and brakemen all have divisions of their associations, which are represented largely at Indianapolis. At Terre Haute, where the membership is much smaller than here, once a month someone of the pastors preaches a sermon to them specially. This service is well attended. On Nabbath evening last Rev. J. K. Wheeler, of Terre Haute, preached to this class of hard working, deserving railroad men a sermon which was highly appreciated,* and it would seem practical that in u railroad center like Indianapolis, once a month, at least, someone of the pastors •ouQI profitably preach to the members of the ihove associations who make Indianapolis their Dome. Credited with Being a Shrewd Passenger Mau. A Western passenger mau writes the Journal ■f Railway Appliances, published in New York, Hoarding the troubles between the roads in the Uhieago and Ohio river pool, as follows: ‘‘The f'htcago & Eastern Illinois railroad has one of the shrewdest, if not one of the oldest general passenger agents in tho West. When I say ‘shrewdest,’ 1 mean it only iu tho most honorable vense. for there is not an instance, I believe, where Mr Hill has not lived up to the letter of his contracts and promises. But the representatives of tho allied Indianapolis lines have discovered that he knows a rat-hole when he sees one. It is not a little amusing to observe the way in which the big roads have allowed this little one to get the inner curve on tho business. After a long fight, the pooled lines allowed to the C. & B. 1., at their October meeting, a differentia! of 73 cents on Indianapolis and $1 on Cin < iruiati and Louisville business. At Unit time ilie ‘Kankakee* was running chair cars at 50 rente, and Pullman sleepers at $2 between Chicago and Indianapolis, while the C. & E. I. ran only a chair car. Nothing was said in the agreement about sleepers, etc. After rates had been established, the chair ears of the C. &E. I. were sent to the shops and one-half of each oar was fitted up with sleeping bertha, and the cars have just been put Uw.k upon the line with chains at 50 cents and berths at sl. Just what

the other lines will do or can do. is not quite apparent, but certainly the ‘tong line’ has the best of it so far: for while the others pay the Pull man Company mileage, and receive not a cent of the sleeper charges, the C. & E. I. gets the eu tire benefit of the differential with the $1 sleeping car fare added.’’ Meeting of tlie Master Car-Builders, E. D. Carter, master car-builder of the Yandalia, accompanied by his wife and William Van Brunt, of Terre Haute, passed through the city last evening en route for Saratoga, N. Y., to attend tho master car-builders’ national convention, which is to be a convention, of more than ordinary interest, as several important questions are to come up for consideration. There will come up seriously the question of tho standard “60,000 pound car.” It is not many years since a car of 40.000 pounds carrying capacity was considered rather a risky thing, and now in sober earnest, 50 per cent, more load per car is being considered, not as a possibility, but as a necessary thing, to he taken care of. To use such cars there would needs be a general strengthening of bridges and trestles, rails and rail joints as a car of such weight means 20,000 pounds per axle, or 10,000 pounds per journal, on journals that have about all they can do now to run cool, and on axles that have the bending and torsional strains of all degrees of c omplexity and excess. However, this may be practiced oa tho best,-built roads, as on such rails, bridges and rail-joints have to be made strong enough to stand the dead weight of locomotives having 32,000 pounds on axle, and an unknown “hammer blow” besides. This being the Case, the question of putting 80.000 pounds load and dead weight in about the same length as a locomotive, need not frighten any one except the manufacturers of axles, hearing metals and lubricants. Where the Pruning Knife Can Be Applied Without Harm. The question is asked, would it not be well for railroad managements to call a halt for the time being, at least, in the reduction of wages and the discharging of needed men on the track, in the shops and depots, to cut down operating expenses, and apply the pruning knife to other departments? That some of the roads are too lavish iu their expenditures in their passenger departments is quite evident-. Take, for instance, their advertising department. Thousands of dollars are spent annually for which no value is received by many of the roads in publishing books with costly engravings and cuts, which are thrown broadcast over tho land regardless of their cost. Ft is stated that one road which crosses Indiana, in the year 1883 expended 40 per cent, of its passenger earnings in publishing and distributing advertising matter. Then again keensighted managers will see that there are more of these traveling passenger agents than can be employed at profit. Then about passenger offices, there is always one or two extra curb stone solicitors or inside men who could be dispensed with without harm to the interests of the. road. The point made is that before there is any more reduction of the wages of the section men, the platform men. the train men. or of the clerical force, there should be some reduction made in the heretofore undisturbed passenger department. The Chicago Pool. The managers of tho Indianapolis roads interested in tho trunk-line pool yesterday received a circular from Commissioner Fink, giving a report of the recent meeting held at his office, of the trunk line presidents, as to the proposed advance in east-bound rates. Tho commissioner said that he had to report that, in accordance with tho presidents’ agreement of Feb. 7, last, contracts for the division of traffic at St. Louis, Peoria and Indianapolis had now been executed by the parties interested, and that as far as the establishment of tariffs was affected by the possibility of maintaining the same, all that could be done or that was contemplated to 1m done to secure the future maintenance of tariff, had now been accomplished, and tariffs could be established with regard to commercial conditions solely. There were, however, some other matters which should be amended, but lie believed there would bo no difficulty about them, viz.: The modification of the Chicago contract, to have it made upon the same principle upon which the St. Louis. Peoria and Indianapolis contracts are made, which lie thought was absolutely necessary to make it effective. Miscellaneous Notes. The business of the lloosac Tunnel road is increasing to such an extent that sometimes it takes two eugines to draw the heavy passenger trains. The Grand Trunk management, owing to the great length of the road, and the increasing business. have decided to form the road into six divisions, each under the charge of a general superintendent. Tho Central lowa is under a cloud. There was some underhand work in the recent elections, and unless there are some resignations, there will be interesting times ahead, and the unsavory affairs of this corporation will be thoroughly ventilated, it is said. Corbin’s plan of lifting the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road out of the mud is not likely to terminate in his favor. There are outstanding $2,930,000 bonds. There have been assented to the Quigley plan, by actual signature, $2,047,000 bonds, and to the Corbin plan $383,000. The troubles of the Louisville & Nashville road have brought to light that only one of the directors paid for his proportion of the Chicago <fc Eastern Illinois stock, tho others having their proportion of the stock carried in the treasury of the Louisville & Nashville company. The Toledo. Cincinnati & St. Louis (southeastern division I raliroad bondholders have voted unanimously to add the name of Austin Corbin to their committee. Subsequently the iron division income bondholders appointed a commit tee to confer with the first mortgage bondholders' committee with a view to ascertaining their rights exactly, and protect them. The contract for building dining cars for the Boston & Albany road has been given to the Wason Manufacturing Company. They are to cost $25,000 each. The coaches are to he sixtyfour feet long, exclusive of the platforms, or four feet longer than any ever before built by the company. They will be furnished with the Maun oval roof and the Mann ventilating system. A jury in the State of New York has rendered a verdict against a railway company in a case brought to recover the value of stock killed by running into a barbed wire fence with which the company had fenced its road. Tho verdict was based upon the fact that the fence was only three and a half feet high when it should have been four, and not upon the fact that it was of barbed wire. The ease will be appealed. Seeking: Divorces. Mary A. Dixon has applied for legal separation from John L. Dixon, to whom idle was married in 1881, alleging cruel treatment and failure to provide. John S. Carney, who is alleged to be a police officer, has applied for a divorce from Mattie E. Carney, whom he married four years ago. Ho accuses her of scolding, cursing, and whipping him. Lillie War© wants a divorce from Daniel Ware, who abandoned her a week ago, and she alleges in addition that he is an habitual drunkard and has treated her cruelly. Cancer far Fourteen Year*!

COUNTY SI'PEKIXTEN'DEXTS. Annual Meeting of the State Association — A Reading Circle Organized. The first day’s session of the annual convention of the Indiana County Superintendents’ Association began in the Supremo Court room yesterday afternoon. No session was held in the morning, as only a few of the superintend ents arrived before noon. The attendance yesterday was not as large as last year, but it is expected that many more will be present at the session to-day and to-morrow. The county superintendents who were present yesterday were John F. Snow, of Adams county; Wm. T. Hacker, Bartholomew; B. F. Johnson, Renton; Lewis Willman. Blackford; Simon P. Ycideigh, Brown; Barton W. Everman, Carroll; David D. Fickle, Cass; Wm. H. Mushlitz, Clinton: Samuel P. Boyd, Daviess; Harvey B. Hill, Dearborn; C. M. Meric a, DeKalb; John O. Lcvvellon. Delaware; Andrew M Sweeney. Ikubois: Michael A. Mess, Franklin; George A. Osborn. Grant; Samuel W. Axtell. Greene: William R. Wilson, Henry; David M. Nelson. Jasper, M. F. Kickoff, Johnson; Dale J. Crittenberger, Madison; Lea P. Harlan. Marion-, Kinsey F. Cornwell. Martin-; Wm. H. Hushman, Newton- Watt P. Denny. Noble: Robt. E. Woods, Ohio; John Whitman, Pike: Wm. E. Nethcrton, Pulaski: H. W. Bow ers, Randolph: Douglass Dobbins. Shelby; Calvin Moon, St. Joseph: Jas. R. Hart. Switzerland: Frank B. Crockett, Tipton; G- W. Osborne, Union; Wm. H. Ernst, Wells, and Wm. Guthrie. White. The opening address was delivered by J. W. Holcombe, Superintendent of Public Instruction. who is president of the association. In reviewing the work of previous conventions of the county superintendents, he said that the first was called to order in the Supreme Court room, where the association is now in session, in 1862. by the venerable S. K. Hosbour, who was then the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It was at this convention that, the use of printed slips of questions for the examination of applicants for teacher’s license was proposed, and a system was formed out of the chaos that there existed. The second convention was held in 1H66 and among clianges in the school laws which were thou proposed was one establishing county boards of education and one providing for the levy of special taxes for tuition. In 1877 the third convention was held and to it belongs the credit of introducing the system of gradation, which has been so successful in improving the condition of the schools. The afternoon session was devoted mainly to the consideration and discussion of the subject ©f organizing a State Teachers’ Reading Circle, presented in a paper read by W. R. Wilson, of Henry county. Twenty-five per cent, of the teachers of Indiana annually drop out of the work, he said, and their places are filled with raw recruits fresh from the pupil’s desk. Ho believed in teaching fewer things and teaching more thoroughly. At is important in tho education of a pupil that a taste for reading should be created, ana to accomplish this purpose his advice was to read no mean book: read no book less than one year: read no book that you do not like." Better a child never learn to read at fill, than, having learned, to leave school without a taste for good reading. Tho discussion of the subject was opened by B. W. Everman, who suggested that the study of natural science should be included in the course of literary reading. R. CL Boone* superintendent of the Franklin schools, Superintendents Williams, Osborne, Outline. Sweeney and Snow participated in the di.-tussion. Professor George P. Brown, president of the State Normal School, thought there should be two lines of study, and the most important of these is professional study, including mental science, methods of instruction, pedagogic and history of education. The second line of study should be general culture, including physical .science, history and literature. J. J. Mills, president of Earihaxu College, and cliairman of the committee on the organization of a reading circle, appointed by the State Teachers' Association, presented the plan of organizing the circles which had been decided upon. It provides that there shall boa board of directors, who shall establish a central bureau in Indiauapolis. to be under the control of a general secretary. The directors shall prepare the course of reading which is to be pursued, but the time to be given to a course shall be fixed in each county by a county manager, who shall direct tho work of tho local organizations. Any one may become a member of the county circle upon pledging himself to pursue the course of reading and upon paying a membership foe of twenty five cents. Where there is no local organization, the applicant may become a member of the State circle upon the same conditions, and may receive .all the benefits through the managers of the nearest neighboring county. A resolution was adopted expressing it as the judgment of tho convention that in addition to the professional studies, only one course shall he pursued at a time, and the order of it shall be literature, history and science. Another resolution was adopted approving the plan for the organization of a Teachers' Reading C ircle, aud pledging tho support of the convention to it. EVENING SESSION. At the evening session W. A. llershman read a paper on “Supervision in the Country Schools.” Ho advised the offering of certificates of honor to each pupil neither absent nor tardy during tho school term, which had met with marked success in his county. He also thought that good results would come from the superintendent, requiring a report of the standing of each pupil, both in matters of punctuality and scholarship, so that tho teacher would be made to do missionary work by personal visits to the negligent. Ho suggested also the holding of a mass-meeting of all the pupils in the county, with appropriate exercises, when diplomas and certificates of honor shall be delivered to all who have earned them. The discussion of Mr. Horshmans suggestions was led by Mr. AxteL The convention will continue in session to-day and to-morrow. The officers for the next year will be elected to-morrow afternoon. Crown Hill Cemetery Association. The annual meeting of tho corporators of tho Crown Hill Cemetery Association was held yesterday, at the office of the association, in Fletcher & Sharpe's building. After the reading and ap proval of the reports of the officers and managers for the past year, the following gentlemen were re-elected as managers for the ensuing year: S. A. Fletcher, Theodore P. Haughey, William S. Hubbard, John C. New, Nicholas McCarty, Thomas A. Morris and William Wallace. The corporators further directed that the managers proceed without delay to build the grand gateway, lodges and approaches to the cemetery at the intersection of tho Mississippi and Illinois street entrances. The managers held a meeting immediately upon tho adjournment of the corporators, and organized tho board by the election of S. A. Fletcher as president; John C. New. treasurer; George P. Anderson, secretary, and P. IV. Chis lett as superintendent. The managers also appointed a committee© to receive plans for tho grand gateway and approaches. It is the inten tion of the board to make this gateway an ornament to the cemetery and equal to any in the country* for its beauty and usefulness. Target-Shooting Match. Tho return match between the Indianapolis Target-shooting Association and the Hepburn Rifie Club, will come off ou Thursday, June 12, at 2 p. M., on the Hepburn Club’s range, north end of College avenue. The public are cordially invited to be present. No admission will be charged. Ten picked men on a side will constitute the shooting teams. Distance, 200 yards: off hand; Union target. Each man has twenty' shots. Dr. W. Walling offers a beautiful gold badge to the man making the highest score over 400 points. R. L. Scarlett offers a similar prize to tho one making the highest score, regardless of tho number of points scored. These prizes

will stimulate extraordinary effort on the part of the marksmen, and add interest to tho contest. The following named gentlemen will constitute the shooting team of the Hepburn Club: A. M. Alexander. L. C. Walters, M. D. Walters. Ed. Bretz, F. IX Lewis, M. F. Robinson, Henry Jamison, E. F. Hodges, L. M. Vance. R. L. Scarlett. The Indianapolis Target shooting Association will choose their team to day. PERSONAL MENTION. Tion. J. R. Bridgely, of Elkhart, is in the city. Miss Anna Davis has gone to Dallas, Tex., where she will remain permanently. C. E. McSheehy, of the Rocky Mountain Celt, of Denver, Col., is in the city visiting old friends and acquaintances. Governor Porter yesterday went to Bloomington, where he delivered an address at the cor-ner-stone laying of the new State University building. Dr. John IT. Helm, of Peru, Dr. James F. Hibberd, of Richmond,and Dr. John M. Kitchen, of this city, are ‘‘forty-niner” Californians and were all located on the Yuba river. Yesterday they were all present at the meeting of the Indiana Medical Society', now holding its session in Plymouth Church. #• Hotel Arrivals Bates House: T. B. Glazebrook. Terre Haute: Jacob Wentz.

I heard a very good story the other day told by Judge Field against himself. He said the first time he ever met. Gail Hamilton was in Washington. lie had walked up to the Capitol and in the eorrider he came on a group which included Ja me G. Blaine and Miss Dodge. After the greetings, Blaine, noticing that Field did not evidently recognizo the lady, said: “You don’t mean to say you don’t know Miss Dodge?” ‘T have not that pleasure.” said Field. “Hermit me to introduce you. Miss Dodge, this is Judge Field, the next President of the United States.” “Good Lord!" said the Judge, with a deprecating gesture. “Why don’t ybu finish tho sentence?” said Miss Dodge. “1 don’t understand you—finish ’’ •Yes,’’ said Miss Dodge; “Good Lord, deliver us.” Working Over uu Old Joke. trie Dirtpatch. They have a grim but effective way of dealing with bores in Ashtabula. A certain pretentious shopper, after teasing the clerks of a dry goods store beyond tho forbearance limit. ]>ompously ordered a spool of thread to be sent to her house. It was agreed that she should be made an ex ample of. and a warning to her kind. She was surprised, and her neighbors were intensely interested. shortly after she had arrived home. A common dray, drawn by four horaes, pro coeded slowly, upio the. door. On the dray, with bare arms, were numbers of stalwart laborers. They were holding on vigorously to some object which .-he could not see. It was a most puzzling affair. Tho neighbors stared. After

a deal of whip cracking and other impressive ceremonies, the cart was backed against the curb. There, reposing camly, end up, in the center of the cait floor was the identical spool of thread which she had “ordered." It seemed to be coming all right. With the aid of a plank, it was finally rolled, barrel fashion, safely to the sidewalk. After a mortal struggle it was “up-ended” on the pur chaser’s-door step. The fact that the purchaser came out a minute later and. kicked her own property into the gutter detracted nothing from it. The Indian and His Bride. Washington Pont. Ashpaheener. the Creek ludian who successfully besought the Interior Department to recognize him as the chief of his nation, was married Wednesday evening to Miss Alma Harrover, a white woman, but said to have Cherokee blood in her veins. Tho groom is 36 years old and the bride 25. Miss Ilarrover was a laundress, and it was where she carried home the clothes that she met Aslrpaheener. They loved and were married. Neither can understand a word spoken by the other, and bbpftleener is said to he perfectly unconcerned about curtain lectures. Mr. and Mrs. Ishpaheeuer will go to New Mexico verv soon. -m Horsford’s Acid Phoakate. A RELIABLE ARTICLE. Dr. E.
