4FFITBS CfF THE RAILWAYS. Personal- and Local. Tim VandaHa last week brought into this staSoir :tr> car-londs of block coal, and 132 car-loads f live stock. The C., St. L. & P. last week forwarded east 10< loaded oars, the Bee-line 790, the C..H. &L Cfi, the L, B. <fe W. 180. r i?We office of general manager of the Wabash U'stcm still goes'begging. E. H. Waldron was last, week tendered, tlie position, one which he would doubtless fill with ability. The C„ L, St. L. &P. engine. No. 349, just ut of the shops-, hauled the train carrying the McDonald Gltih. Master Mechanic Avp had the ingine very tastefully and handsomely decorated. Stock of the-Pennsylvania road 1 is again mov-ing-upward It is said that the traffic returns lor. the month of June would show a fair increase over the corresponding month of last year. The Wells, Fargo # Cos. express is now repreat Indianapolisi doing business at the American express office. Express matter erning into their territory, is billed direct from. Indianapolis. Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash, carries with him, this-month, two pay-rolls, one of the rompany prior to the road dropping into tho hands of a receiver, the other the receivers’ payroll for the-few days. of. May the road was under them. Chief Engineer Becker says it will be some sixty days before the J., M.’& I. machine shops are removed from Jeffersonville to the new shops of the Pennsylvania company, at Indianapolis. Ttie present J., M-. & I: shops were built at Jeffersonville in 184 ft Barney & Smith were on. Saturday, awarded tho contract, to build the new box. cars for the Cincinnati.. Hamilton & Dayton company. Barney & Smith’s bid was $415 per car: Indianapolis Car Works. $417: Ohio Falls Oar Works, $420; TerretHiwite Car Works, $425Thesuperintendent of one of the Indianapolisroads- was last week-looking about a little for a. tew eight wheeled engines, and one locomotive works offered to furnish six eight-wheeled American standard engines, first class in every jespeot; at $6,500 per locomotive; This 1,(K)0 coal cars the Ohio Southern manage-, jnemt'hirs contracted'for ate to Be’built of 50,000 ■Sr.iis capacity. Tliey will be 34 feet long, the Rid os of. the oars-32 inches in height,.and in every particular they will be constructed a littie heavier than the first 300 cars built for tins company. The Indiana,. Bloomington & Western has •n its system 128 first class locomotives, 123 ©f which are in first oluss condition. B. Warren; master mechanic, boasts over, the excellent condition of his power, and certainly it is in much better shape than when lie took supervision of it The management of the Ohio Southern road Las decided to. purchase three consol engines, the-same pattern as the twenty four consol enthe I. B. &W. road; The I;, B, &W. people paid $15,000 per engine for their consols. The Ohio Southern is offered Die same build engine, now, at $9,000. There were transferred over the Belt road last week 7,030 cars, of which 883 were loaded with live stock. Comparing this statement w ; th the total movement of all roads, as shown in the weekly statement, it will be seen that nearly 55 per cent of the loaded cars were handled on the Bolt road, thus relieving the Union tracks. Three consolidation engines, with the Woot ten dust-burning fire box, have been sent to the Pennsylvania railroad tor trial. They are torun on the Tyrone division, using the dust or waste coal from the bituminous mines on that division. They will receive a severe test on the etc p grades and sharp curves of the line where they are in use. if A. B. Southard', traffic manager of the- £.. ,N. A. & C. system, will spend a half hour among Indianapolis business men. he will learn that it would be a great accommodation were he to put qn an early passenger train north. Business Wien are often obliged to take the Wabash 7:25 a. . train, and hire private conveyances to take them to towns located on the Air line Thu Indianapolis Car Works last week worked someone hundred and sixty men, and will this week increase the number to three hundred, and a few days later will be working their full complement of men —four hundred. President Millard thinks the prospects good—that there will be plenty of car building to keep the works busy for six months to come. If the fast-freight line agents will be patient only a few days, and maintain rates on what little business they are now getting, there will probably be a good run of business forward fng the wheat- and oats crops to the market The first car-load of wheat shipped east last year was on July 12, but B was ten days later before the movement became heavy. Dealers say that if the wheat is good this yoar it will be wanted at some prieu fan expert, and ean be moved promptly. Tha Indiana division of the Train Dispatchers’ Association of the United States and Canada has published its constitution and by-laws in pamphlet form. In a preamble it is said: "Whereas, the growth and development of mind and inseffi gent advancement is the result of investigation ml free discussion, and recognizing that the success and promotion of train dispatchers is iue ta intelligence, watchfulness, thoughtfulness nd a thorough knowledge of the responsibilities f tho position, the undersigned agree to form an association, andfwrits government do hereby adopt the following constitution and by-laws.’ ’ The charter members are: Vandalia line —R.

There are those who believe that it is the eve rif more prosperous times for railroad companies. Granger legislation, light traffic, ft manual stringency, receivership and bankruptcy have followed each other in rapid succession. And the time has certainly been reached to ring in t change.. Genera) Manager Henderson, ia in a. happy frame of mind. He telegraphed East Saturday: “Harvesting is going on upon the southern part of our lines. Wheat crap is poor on the Ohio Southern and on the Olne-y railroad. Fair crop on Ohio and middle division and good on St Louis and Peoria division. Oats crap unusually good on all divisions and will make 125 per cent, of average crop. Wheat crap bet ter than last year, but less than average on ail except Peoria division. Corn crap is in fine condition. Prospects flattering for largest yield for several years.” The vice-president of the Chicago and Northwestern last week telegraphed that the prospects were never more brieht. and that the enormous craps of the West insured a splendid revenue to his own as well other reads, irrespective es what the prices or grain and provisions might be. The stuff, he said, was raised and had to be sold; and if prices were lew the public, and especially the laboring man, would be all the happier. J. N. McCullough, vice-president of the Pennsylvania company, passed over their Western Hues lust week and telegraphed to President Roberts, very flattering- reports regarding the outlook tor business. The Chicago Times says: “The Northwestern roads are gradually getting over their troubles, and the.indications now are that all obstacles in the way es a successful carrying out of the Northwestern pooling agreements will be removed before many days have paserd. A week ago the affairs of the Northwestern Traffic As sooiation wbre in such a tangled shape that the managers had abandoned all hopes of a peaceful settlement. Now. however, everyth mg looks promising, with prospect* of remunerative rates." Last Week's Freight Traffic. Business las# week seems to. have- taken a big tumble, all roads, with, tho exoeptiou of the Van and alia and C., St. L. & P., showing a decrease to cur movement Thus is certainly good evidence that rates are being maintained. However, cast bound the ton age is usually very light the first week in July, and this year is not an exception; what is a little singular ia the fact that. while (here was a sharp falling off in east-bound business, in the west bound traffic there- was an

increase, and that to miscellaneous freights as the merchandise movement is light and likely will be this month. With- north and south roads business was lighterlast week than in any week for a eouple of months past, and (he same remark is equally applicable to local business grid live stock traffic; in fact, ft was a dull week all round. This is not nnusual. The oldest railroad man cannot remember when freights were 1 teavv in either the first week of July or the first week in January. Unless all signs fail, however, within; a few days traffic will be heavy in all directions.

The corresponding week in 1883 there were received and forwarded at this point 1 13,420 loaded cars and 3.569 empty cars. First-Mortgage Bondholders Becoming Uneasy. A- few, days will decide whether- the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road will be retained by the Wabash or the lease dropped. The first-mortgage bondholders of the two northern divisions of the L, P. &C. are getting uneasy, and demand that they should havp the interest or turn the road over to the bondholders. The St. Louis Railway Register says editorially: “The Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago has been referred to by sume-as one ofbfre unprofitable divisions. But we have never been able to coin•ide in this opinion. The road extends from Indianapolis to Michigan Oity,'and has a good local business. The lower part is used t. complete : the lino between Detroit and Indianapolis, and the Panhandle trains between Chicago and Louisville run over the part from: Kokomo, to Indianapolis. The Wabash ought never to let this valuable road be spirited away, for tho Pennsyl vania would be glad to obtain it because it would complete its lines between Chicago and Louisville, and would give the Losransportdivision, of the Vandalia an outlet to the lake at Michigan City.” The same paper in speaking of. the condition of the Wabash, says: “That the- Wabash system is intrinsically valuable no one can doubt, but it was organized- in flush times and- undercircumstances that-, though at the time they were full of promises, were really adverse. The system is its own competitor, and interest* of various branches conflict with those of other portions. Some lines were unprofitable and always had been, others were embarrassed by a. burden of expenses, for terminal ‘conveniences that were unbearable.” Not Surprised at the Outrouie. London capitalists are congratulating themselves that they did not put money into the New York,. West Shore A Buffalo road. The London Bulliouist, speaking-of the road dropping into tha handß of a receiver, says “The event was not unexpected. The line, which has only been in operation since Jan. 1, was designed to blackmail the New York Central, and. for years it wasquestionable whether it would ever be constructed, A syndicate, after vainly endeavoring to induce Mr. Vanderbilt and bis, party to- buy them out, decided on proceeding with the construction of the road, and were ruined in so. doing. Ever since the line has been opened for traffic it has been struggling with adversity, and there is no doubt it would have passed into, a receiver's hands long- ago had- it not been tor the hopes of its promoters that thoy might at the last momont sell it to the New Yord Central or the- Grand Trunk. Before the West Shore can be put in position to compete with the New York Central there must be a wholesale dumping over of bonds and stock that now are smothering the life out of the road.” Operating Too Many Unprofitable Branches. The nineteen branch lines which the Union Faciflo is trying to carry have a total mileage of near ly 3,000 miles, and the forthcoming government report shows how much they are costing to the. company. Only five or six of them earn enough net to pay the interest on their bonds, and the total account is as follows: Gross earnings of the nineteen roads $8,758,452; expenses and taxes. $6,315.<7(0: net surplus. $2,442,821; interest account, $2,510,000. Hence there is a deficit on all these roads, anil likely to be still greater in the future. The Utah & Northern, for instance, which had a net earning over all other charges of nearly $460,009; will never have another such a chance to gouge the Butte mining interest in Montana, now that the Northern Pacific is open. These roads altogether owe $41,000,000 of bends at C, 7 and 8 per cent, interest, and of these bonds the Union Pacific holds $23,615,000, on which the total interest is $1,680,000. Miscellaneous Notes. The New Jersey Central railroad beipm paying its employes off at Jersey City Saturday, and all fears of a strike are dissipated. The English holders of Erie have been asked to pay an assessment of 6d per share, and 11c 3d on each $1,900 bond, to defray expenses of the committee to investigate Erie. Russia has just raised a loan.of £15,000,000 for railroad purposes; As far- as ean be ascertained, this sum liae already been half expended, and the other half is intro den for carrying out long-projected railroad extensions. H. M. Hoxie, of the Missouri Pacific, telegraphed east, Friday last: "Received six trains of beef cattle at Fort Worth yesterday for Chicago and St. Louis, and seven- trains in sight for to-day;, beef-cattle are commencing to move.” In 1882, the Erie road issued' $3,347,000 car trust sixes, known as series “G,” and has since redeemeds per cent, of them. Holders of $167,099 were notified that interest would cease July 1. and, on applying for the principal, they are given a circular to the effect that the company has not the money to redeem them naw, but hope soon to have it Imitation Baking Powders. To the Public: The public i# cautioned against the practice of many grocers who sell what they claim to be Royal Baking Powder, loose ox in hulk, wit*out label or trade mark. All such powder# are base imitations. Aualyse# of hundred* of samples of baking powders sold hi bulk to parties asking for Royal have shown them all to he largely adulterated, mostly with alum, dangerous for use- in food, ana comparative valueless for leavening purposes. . The public is too well aware of the injurious effect of alum upon tha system to need further caution against the use of any baking, powders known to be made from this drug: but the dealer’sassurance, “Oh. its jus# ns good as "it's the genuine Royal only we buy it by the barrel, to save expense of can,” etc., is apt to mislead unsuspecting, consumers into buying an- article which- they would not knowingly use m their food under any consideration. The only safety from #ueh priiotiees is in buying baking powder only ia the original package, of a well-known brand, and a thoroughly established reputation. The Royal Baking Powder is sold only in cans, securely closed with the company's trade mark lhbel> and the weight of package shunned ou each coves; It is nevwr sold m bulk, by tha barrel, or loose bv weight or measure, and- all such offered tha public under any pretense are imitations. If consumers will bear these farts in n.ind, Sad also see that tne package purebasod is protwlbflpbatod, and the label unbroken; they will be ahriiys suve-of using a bakin;* paw'lci* perfectly pure and wholesome, and of tho highest test strength in. the market J.

Washington, July s,—The decision, of the prima-facie right of Mr. Skinner to a seat aa representative from, the First district of North Carolina, was postponed until the. second Mon- , day in December. The House then proceeded- to industriously kill time, and succeeded well in its object, The Mexican pension bill was the pivot, on. which the motions turned. Mr. Ranney, from the committee on elections, submitted a unanimous report, confirming the right of Martin. Maginnis to the seat as the delegate from Montana Territory. Agreed to. With a view to removing any impediment to the transaction of business, Mr. Burucs moved to postpone further consideration of the Mexican pension hill until too second Tuesday in: December.

Burnes, Townshend and Washburn were reappointed conferees. The House took a recess until 9 o'clock. ; When the House met it still found itself in a dead lock over the Mexican pension bill, ami an hour and a half was consume and in futile attempts to make some progress with the Senate amendments. At 10:36 Mr. Browne, of Indiana, called attention to the obvious fact that it was impossible to pass the bill at the present session, ana proposed that the measure be laid aside and the House proceed to the consideration of private pension biHs. Mr. Townshend objected. Mr. Ryan moved that the House recede from its disagreement to the point in controversy—that relating to a change from the fee to the salary system tor court officials—which was agreed to Mr. Burns, from the conference committee on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, reported continued disagreement on the point in controversy—the clause appropriating $250,600, for the Nicaraguan water-way project—and a long debate followed.

Mr. Randall then submitted a disagreement conference report on tlie naval appropriation bill, ana it was agreed to. No further confer-ence-was asked for. Mi*. Randall said the committee on both sides was determined; and but one way was open—that support of toe navy be l provided for temporarily.
