AFFAIES OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and LooaL J. P. Hazel ton has been appointed agent of the Vandalia at Effingham. [ Paymaster Hedges, of the C., H. &D. lines, paid yesterday on tho C., H. & I. division, for ' June services. Baltimore and Philadelphia, on the start, are the points to which the large shipments of grain have been made. W. A. Rhodes, late agent of the Adams Exj press Company, has become a member of the firm of A. M. Kuhn & Cos ., coal dealers. The Chesapeake & Ohio people are making a sharp drive in this section for some of the export business to take out via Newport News. The mother of Col. Robert Forsythe, traffic manager of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, died suddenly on Tuesday, at the advanced age of ninety years. Treasurer Osborn, of the C., 1., St. L. & C., yesterday instructed their agents at this point ■to transfer their place of deposit from Fletcher A Sharpe’s to the Indiana National Bank. The Erie investigating committee arrived from !Londo& on Tuesday. President Jewett heartily Welcomes them, as there has been nothing crooked in the management of the property. It. H. Lacy, Southeastern passenger agent of the P., C. * fit L., (Panhandle) route, and southern passenger agent of the J., M. & 1., and Vandalia lines', of Nashville, Tenn., is in the city visiting old-time friends. J. K. Laps, formerly master mechanic of the [Bee-line. now in charge of the Missouri Pacific shops, at Big Springs, has offered positions to several Bee-line and I. & St. L. men, recently, several of which have been accepted. The Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis shops in Cleveland, 0., are building three new standard mogul freight locomotives for the road. They will have eighteen by twenty four inch cylinders and flfty-six-inch driving wheels.. L. D. Richardson, commissioner of the Chicago A Ohio River pool, returned from Chicago last evening. All that was done at the meeting was to take the preliminary steps to include in the pool all roads out of Chicago which do a direct south-bound business. The Pennsylvania people are desirous of making extensive improvements at New Albany in the way of depots, double tracks and side tracks, but the Council of that city show a disposition to oppose granting street priveleges needed, which will likely delay if not prevent the railroad company’s making such improvements. Y. H. Kingsbury, assistant general freight agent of the C., St. L. & P. lines, is in the city prospecting. In answer to the question, “What effect will the advance in rates ordered for Monday nexthave on business?" he said matters would move along smoothly. Notice was given to shippers some weeks in advance that they might have a basis to purchase grain on, and they are paying prices for grain based on such rates. A. H. McLeod, general freight agent of the C.. H. & D. lines, notifies shippers and connections (hat the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and the Cincinnati Southern railroads, owners of the Queen & Crescent fast-freight line, have tlteir hoist cars ready for business to and from all points South. The managers of the line have arranged for special fast-train service, and will •use every effort to serve the interests of shippers. The cars which are to be put on to run between Indianapolis and Evansville over the Vandal ia and E. & T. H. are known as the Levy & AHen cars, and are used by that firm in their - immense excursion business. They are parlor cats during the day, and at night are converted into sleepers. A small buffet is located in each car. in which passengers are furnished with lunch. The cars first attracted President Mackey’s attention on his last trip East, and he Immediately decided to experiment with them in connection with the Vandalia. The statement of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnate & Indianapolis railroad for the qu iiHer ending March 31 shows gross earnings $896,900 in 1884, and $1,000,736 in 1883; expenses, $696,356 in 1884, and $708,219 in 1883; net earnings. $200,344 in 1884, and $292,517 in 1883; charges, $201,811 in 1884, and and $155,812 in 1883; deficit, $1,467 in 1884; surplus, $136,705 in 1833. The expenses were 66 per cent of the gross earnings this year, and 70.76 per cent, last year. The amount expended for additions to property, were $66,170 this year, and $86,249 last year, making a total balance of $67,637 this year.

The receivers* of the Philadelphia & Reading road will in a day or two make their report to the court. They have found a floating debt of nearly $22,000,000. It would he difficult to account for such a heavy increase of the floating debt were it not known that the company has lost six or seven millions in its speculation in Jersey Central, in its attempt to bolster up the junior securities, in its general business, and spent large sums of money in the acquisition of coal-lands during the last year. The Philadelphia Press says: “There can be no doubt about the utter bankruptcy of the company. It would have desalted in its consolidated mortgage bonds in June had it not been for the assistance offered it at a late moment, and on the general mortgages, bad not the same parties come to the rescue. Should the statement prove true that tlie Pennsylvania has leased or is about to lease ♦he Reading, great relief will be felt by the various creditors—that is, jf the terms are such that they can be provided for." A New Interest Awakened as to the Future of the Wabash. The fact that a man of the ability of A. A. Talmage has taken the general managership of the Wabash system has awakened increased interest in the results, as a general reorganization of the working force and plans of operating the tines will doubtless follow. John C. Gault, late general manager ot the road, says that while the company owns a large amount of valuable property, including the Chicago & Paducah, through Strewn and Effingham counties, 243 miles of track, and the Council Bluffs division, traversing a splendid agricultural oountry in southern lowa, and northern Missouri, the earnings of these productive sections are absorbed by the worthless branches. In the reconstruction the good lines will probably be separated, and the property west of the Mississippi will either be secured by some other company or become a distinct system, as they cannot be united to advantage with the eastern division. Time to Return to the OM Methods of Building Railways. An old fogy ex-railroad president yesterday remarked that ha would like to see roads bareafter built as in theearlydaye es the railroads in this country, by the stockholders, not on money borrowed on bonds placed before the grading of a road had commenced. Be then referred to ■the following article which appeared last week In the New York Sun, which lie said exactly

met his views. The Sun says: “The practice of building railroads with bonds is the cause of most of the existing swindles. The roads ought to be built exclusively by and for the stockholders. If, in tho construction or upon its completion, the proprietors wish to make improvements and enoose to mortgage their property in preference to paying an assessment, they must be at liberty to do so, but the bonds so issued should never be otherwise than income bonds, with an amply provided for sinking fund. The very word dividend means a division of net profits, which is quite a different thing from interest. But, strange as it may seem, the majority of people do not appear to understand this difference. Strictly speaking, no dividend should ever be paid to stockholders as long as a debt was upon the property. No honest merchant or manufacturer wifi ever think of dividing the profits with his partners when the concern is in debt But, of course, as bonds have to be issued for a certain length of time, and the debt cannot be paid at the will of the debtor, there may be circumstances under which a particularly prosperous concern would be embarrassed by the surplus of accumulations in its treasury. But that could easily be averted by the system of issuing bonds subject to calls similar to that in force with the government. As things stand at the present, the bondholders have all the power ana the stockholders none. Any man who goes into Wall street to-day pays just as good money, whether he buys stocks or whether he buys bonds. Yet the buyer of bonds can at any day make a beggar of the buyer of the stock by adroitly working the directors and foreclosing the moitgage. The President then referred to the building of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road, which was built with the money of the stockholders, and which has been the model road of the West in every respect” Dislike to Haul Special Cars. In comffienting on an article which appeared recently in the Journal, regarding the hauling of special cars, the Boston Advertiser says there is a growing dislike to hauling special cars. “A few years ago the late T. W. Park became a director in a bankrupt road, hoping that he could help it out. He was taken ill one day, while visiting the headquarters, and when he became convalescent the president proposed that he return to New York on the directors’ car. ‘Oh, no, I thank yon, said Mr. Park, ‘I can go very comfortably in the drawing-room car.’ ‘But 1 prefer to send our car,’ said the president, ‘with servants to look after your wants. ’ ‘My wants will be few, and if 1 cannot wait upon myself there will be enough to help me,’ returned the millionaire. ‘But this will neither look right, nor sound right, nor be right,’persisted the president, ‘when it is known that we have a car, and use it for ourselves and friends on all special occasions; 'now, why not take it? 'Because, ’ replied Mr. Park, with emphasis, 1 do not wish to. lam but one man. That car will carry twenty. I. too, am afraid of the sonnd and the looks. I am afraid I should hear some conductor on the lower roads shout to his engineer: ‘Back up! We’ve got to hitch on to King Bankruptcy, traveling in state. ” It is needless to say that Mr. Park returned like a solvent and private gentleman. It may be added that not many years afterward that same car was distrained for taxes.”

The Freight Men in Better Humor. The freight men are in excellent spirits over the outlook for business. W. C. Hobbs, assistant general freight agent of the C., L, St L. & C., states that yesterday orders came in for some 300 ears from points on the Big Pour system, and from this on he looked for business for all the ears they could command. H. F Stiles, agent of the Cm H. & L, reports orders for cars increasing at points on this division. Thirty-one cars were loaded yesterday for Toledo. Robert Geiger, general freight agent of the J,, M. & 1., is at this end of the line hunting up cars to move the grain on that road. Superintendent Turner reports for the L &V. orders for cars coming in briskly, and the stone, coal and grain traffic of this road for few months to come is doubtless to be the heaviest in its history. J, H. Steiner, Western superintendent of the White line, reports matters brightening up with them nicely. Shippers are beginning to call for cars to load for interior points and with export business. Agents or other fast-freight lines are talking very, encouragingly over the situation, and the opinion prevails that, while there is .to be no great boom in freight business, there is to he a healthy movement, and that rates are to be maintained. Stockholders in a Dilemma. The California Southern railroad is another example of the monstrous injustice of laws basing railway rates on the earnings of the roads for any given period. This new road was almost completely destroyed by floods some months ago. The millions invested have been lying idle ever since, and now it is announced that to put it in operation again will cost no less than $2a0,000. The stockholders have been invited to buy new stock, but do not respond to the necessary amount. The company has only about $40,000 on hand which can be used for this purpose, and if it goes on and incurs indebted-, ness, the stockholders, under the laws of California, will be personally responsible therefor; and the question is, whether to do this or to abandon the road entirely. Meantime, the California legislators, who are so terribly afraid that the railways will make too much, do not propose any laws guaranteeing them against ruin. The rule for regulating railways by the politicians does not work both ways. ' Trials of a Passenger Conductor. In the matter of turning in cash fares railway managers are in danger of being too severe is their criticisms. A conductor, if he chooses so to do, might make some astounding revelations regarding the difficulties in his way. A hint to some of these annoyances is found in the reports sometimes accompanying collections. While such excuses as “charity,” “all I could get,” “all he had," “broke,” “sick and broke,” may not be valid, when looked at from a stand-point of cool criticism, they at least show that the conductor is honest, and give a clue to some of the difficulties in his way. Conductors are human and haye the souls which corporations are said to lack, and we know of at least one old conductor who has often and often, during his twenty years of service, put his hand into his pocket and reported cash fares which he never received.

Miscellaneous Notes. The Boston & Albany received from the New York Central, at Albany, 13,373 freight cars last month, aDd 10,741 ear* were dispatched from Boston during the same month. While Germany ha* 21,865, England 18,685 and France 18,050 miles of railway, Turkey has only 1,015 miles, though her population is almost as numerous as that of these three countries. The New York St New England railroad has issued orders to its employes that all men whose work requires them to couple cars must use a coupling-stick, and that the company will not be liable for any accident when the stick is not used. The order and a stick are given to each employe, for both of which he is made to sign a receipt. Mr. F. G. Dexter, of Boston, one of the directors of the Union Pacific, who is now inspecting the road with Mr. Adams and Mr. Callaway, was compelled by Conductor Kies to pay fare across the bridge at Omaha last week, because he had left his pass at the hotel and was unable to convince the conductor that he was entitled to ride free. Mr- Callaway laughed and did not interfere. It will not ho surprising if that conductor is promoted some day. The freight cars of the A., T- &S. F. railroad are having the Westinghouse air-brake put on them at tne rate of twenty-five a day; <A brick budding at the Topeka shops is used for the storage of the brake fixtures, and adjoining this building a trestle track has been built, loug enough to hold thirty cars. The cars are run upon this treatlo while the work is done. At one end of the track are plaeed a boiler, airpump and the other apparatus for testing the Drake* when fitted to the cars.

The following from Rev. Frederick Strong, a well-known clergyman, of Perry. Mich., is a specimen of hundreds from every part of the country; “I gave one bottle of your rheumatism and neuralgia cure to one of the members of my church who was suffering with rheumatism in his hands and arms so that it was with the greatest difficulty he could attend to his business. The other day he told me the pain was nearly all gone, and he entertains the hope of complete oure,”

LiVes of PAIN RHEUMATISM and NEURALGIA hare taag enough raa Hot in the faunaa system. They have tormented the human family and defied the medical faculty; from time out of memory they have corrupted the blood, demoralized the joints, vexed the nerves, agonized the muscles and racked the toaln with wearying pain. “Athlofhobos” is the enemy of Rheumatism and Neuralgia, repairs their damage, renews the blood, eases tbs joints, calms the nerves, soothes the muscles, gives rest and peace to the troubled brain, and ensures delightful sleep. “ Athlophoros ” Is a new remedy, but It has been abundantly tried. From far and Dear come testimonials from well-known peasant who tod long been sufferers. It has turned their diseases out It has oured them. That is all,—and that is enough. “ Athlofhobos ” ean do for jiou what it has done for those sufferers. It can drive out your Rheumatism and Neuralgia, and will dp so if you give it a fair trial. “ athlophoros ’’ has by this time had such a good trial all over the country that its true work is known, and its true character proved. “Athlophoros’’ means “Prize-Bearer;" “ Victor;" “ Conqueror." It carries off the prize as Victor over the attacks of these terrible maladies, and Oonqukrob of toe frightful agonies their victims have endured. Not a mere temporary relief, but a permanent, enduring, and triumphant cure. If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will send It express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but If he hasn’t It, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at onee from us as directed.
