AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. T. L. Conant, a general officer of the Texas Central road, is spending a few days with friends in the city. J. P. Steiwart, superintendent of the Illinois division of the American Express Company, was in the city Saturday prospecting. Harry Wetsell, general agent of the Vasadalia line, who with his family has been spending several days at Bar Harbor, returned on Saturday. The Wabash shops at -Ft. Wayne are building two new standard pony engines, and as soon as they are completed work on four large standards will be commenced. In an interview, Mr. Vanderbilt expressed his entire satisfaction with Mr. King, and deolared that under his management the Erie and the Hew York Central would be run in harmony. On account of ill-health General Manager Robinson, of the Mexican Central railway, has been -unpelled to leave Mexico.' He is now at the * springs of Las Vegas, on the A., T. & S. P. . L. * mherty, commissioner of the Indian- . . j 'bound pool, has already made himi with the railroad officials with v mhis office brings him in contact His dens thus far have been impartial and satis- • efary. Bee-line shops at Mattoon, lIL, are at ■ „ , very busy repairing a number of pas- • ' ■ " engines. Master Mechanic Turreff 'at matters will take such a turn that ■ .TK-f.timo can be resumed at all shops on S* ay .torn Sept L ti'&ck layers on the T. H. & L. extension f ’ v ’andalia, are within four miles of South *rand have struck an obstruction in the way of a high-priced property-holder, who wants more for a sixty feet in width piece of ground through his land than the entire premises would, it is said, sell for. The “home” passenger rate war Is in a sluggish state, awaiting results of to-day's meeting of passenger men. Meantime the trunk lines are becoming diUigent. The general passenger agent of onreaf them is quoted as saying: “Just wait a month and there will be the liveliest circus in passenger business between New York and the West, if the rdads are runuing at an." The Wabash railway has given notice that express passenger trains Nob. 2 and 3, between St Louis and Kansas City, which some months since were discontinued on Sundays, will be ran daily, thus giving passengers every facility for making close connections at either city for all other points. This will give passengers four . daily express trains between St Louis and Kansas City, a morning and evening train in both directions. The Bee-line forwarded east from this point, last week 1.074 loaded cars, the C., St L. & P. 931, the L, B. &W. 494, the G, H. &I. 341. In the week ending Aug. 16 the Bee-line forwarded .from this point 995 loaded ears, the G, SI. L. 4fc **. 857, the 1., B. &W. 469, and the C„ H. & L 354. In the week ending Aug. 25, 1883, the Beeline forwarded 1,456 loaded cars, the C., St L. & P. 1,431, the 1., B. & W. G9l. the €., H. & I. 172. Corresponding week, 1882, the Bee-line forwarded 1.487, the C-, St, L. & P., then the P., C. &St L., 1,714. In 1881, Bee-line 1,566, P., C. &St L. 1,497. The L, B. &W. was not built and the C., H. & I. made little pretense to do east-bound business in 1881 and 1882. Business Over Indianapolis Roads. The improvement in business from week to week continues with a majority of the roads, yet in a comparative statement given below, it will be seen that the week corresponding with last week in 1883 there were 2,368 more loaded cars received and forwarded; in 1882, 3,848 more, and in 1881, 3,568 more loaded cars. It is believed, however, from now on the comparative statement will be more favorable, increasing inquiry for ears leading to the belief that September is to be by far the best month’s business of the year. Up to the present writing shipments of grain to the seaboad still continues light; there is a fair interior business and • coasiderble quantity of grain going to Toledo. Westbound traffic is heavier than ever before in August. Whether this will Tesult in a lighter tonnage later in the season is an open question. North and south roads are doing a very satisfactory business. Local traffic is again heavy both in and out-bound, and through the fall months promises to be highly satisfactory, and rates are reasonably well maintained. Below is given the number of cars received Bud forwarded at this point iB the week ending at 12 o’olock m., Aug. 23, as compared with the movement of the week preceding: Aug. 16. Aug. 23.

Says the Financial Chronicle: ‘VNothing is so marked in the present situation of affairs as the anti— e—ni of confidence that the public feel in railroad management" Thl remark will not bear the light The truth ig that the railroads of this oountry were never better managed than nt the present time, or at least this remark will apply to Indiana roads. Take, for instance, ManagerMcCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines. The four roads running into Indianapolis which are underSis supervision were never in better shape, physically, than now. Road-beds and equip-, bents are in almost perfect condition, and the leveral divisions are now operated at 40 per cent, ess cost than four years ago. No one will question 'or a moment that E. B. Thomas, general nanagor of the Bee-line, has done much o bring that property up to its present ligh standard. The road-bed and equipments re in every respect un to those of the best roads f the country. While some think he rides the conoirt/ hobby rather too heavily, his motive

ig good, and certainly Indicates good management. Take the Indiana, Bloomington & Western. Wrecked and bankrupt, practically, when C. E. Henderson took the general mangement, it is now one of the largest-equipped per mile roads in the West, with some eight hundred miles of good track; and the fact that the great improvement to the property has been made out of the surplus earnings above operating expenses and -fixed charges, shows almost unparalleled good management. The Vandalia, with Col. Joseph Hill at the head of affairs, backed by the prince of railroad men, Wm. R. MoKeen, has made as rapid strides in the way of improvement to road-bed and equipment aq any road in the country. Take the Cincinnati Indianapolis. St. Louis & Chicago. Who dares say that the Big Four is not well managed! Then there is the C., H. & D. system, which was rapidly on the decline as a railroad property and seldom spoken of outside the towns it passed through. It is now finely equipped, has an excellent track and doing a fine business; and to C. C. Waite, general {manager, is the remarkable change due. Go a little further from home: take the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, with Horace Stevens directing the management of its affairs. From a bankrupt, hardly known, it has come to be practically a north and south trank line. It is very easy for the financial editor of the Chronicle to sit in his easy-chair and throw out such unjust slurs, but impartial investigation will not sustain assertions of such a character. The faot is that it is now the study of general managers to learn the best they -can do to advance the interests of the companies they represent, and their chief aim is to cut down operating expense, increase earnings, and at the same time to maintain the excellent physical condition of the property. The Value of Uniform Rates. The railroad editor of the Denver Tribune has been interviewing leading shippers as to the effects of rate-cutting, and so nearly does their verdict compare with the views of Indianapolis shippers published in the Journal, that we reproduce them, the general verdict being that the effect of cutting rates is evil. It puts the merchants, whose goods are transported at the regular rate, at the mercy of the one who is fortunate enough to get a cut rate. The advantages which a few secure by a war of rates are as nothing compared with the losses which others suffer, and, when rates • are unsettled, no one knows how his business will be affected. One prominent Denver shipper said “There is no question—no matter how ranch railroad companies may be blamed, or called hard names by men who aro profane, er, if religious, who bless the road in a manner very little calculated to benefit the blessee —of the benefits of a steady and permanent Tate or tariff of charges. The evils of sudden and transitory cuts are too obvious to need any proof by argument; they are commercial axioms, which have proved themselves time and again.” Another said: “Cutting rates is most unquestionably an injury to the prosperity of the State. When the cut comes, small dealers who have been buying of jobbers at home rush into the eastern markets and overstock themselves. As they all do it, no one reaps any benefit, and when the reaction comes they find themselves with a large amount of unsold goods, to get which they have stretched their credit to the utmost, and the consequence is failure. The only ones who make any money out of eut rates are the sheriffs, deputies and constables, and, as most men are working for their own bread and batter, it certainly docs not pay to work for the living of law officers and lawyers. Besides which, I believe in letting railroads make some money. They are a benefit to the city." A Summary of Results from the Adoption of Standard Time. At a recent meeting a letter was read from W. A Allen, who was the chief promoter of the present time standards on this continent, in which he gave the following summary of results: In examining the list of cities of over 10,900 inhabitants; in the United States, 1 find that 185 out of 219 use standard time. Os those that do not, Ohio furnishes fifteen, Michigan eight and the Pacific coast eight, the rest being scattering. As to the railways, the situation is entirely satisfactory. All railroads oast of Ogden, U. TANARUS., The Needles, Deming, N. M., are now using standard time, except the two local roads art; Pittsburg, which aggregate about twenty-nine miles in length. Bandard time is used on the Northern and Canadian Pacific railroads for their entire lengths, and byall roads la Washington and Oregon. The onlynotable exceptions in the entire country are the Central and Southern Pacific railroads and branches or connecting lines in Utah, Nevada and California. Even the Southern Pacific uses standard time between Deming and El Paso. The railroads in the maritime provinces use Eastern standard time. The city of Halifax uses the time of the 60th -meridian. To sum up for the railways, out of about 125,009 miles -now in operation in this country and Canada, all, with -the exception of harely 4,000, are being . operated ‘by standard time. I have yet to hear the first intimation foam any railway official (and I think I should have heal'd) that tike new system does not work with entire satisfaction, nor has any proposition been made to -return to local time. A “Bear” on Railroad Pools. The Boston Advertiser comes out flat-footed against -pools. The railroad editor closes a lengthy article by saying: “So it seems that the pool does not amount to much after all, and the sooner the roads abandon it and—and whatl Go to cutting far the sake of punishing somebody? Not at nil; but go to doing their own business instead of having Mr. Fink-pretend to do it for them, the sooner they-willcease to -be deluded by an expensive protection that-does not protect. But they should bear.in mind this: To break from the pool is one thing, to slaughter rates is quite another. The former may be wise, but the latter wttl certainly be foolish.” Miscellaneous Notes. The monthly fast freight lino meeting will he held at Niagara Falls, Aug. 27 and 28. Six eailwayjprojeots are at present. They are the Belt railroad, the railroad to Lookout, the railroad from Ohattanoga to Rome, the Chattanooga & Western, the Chattanooga -Klovator, and the East Chattanooga. Managei* cf the Canada Southern fast-freight line deny %hat their transportation was withdrawn from Reading because of dissatisfaction. They state that the Pennsylvania could give them a straight haul to tide-water,and that Reading could not. In the strike on the Chicago A Great Southern -road there has been no change. No trains have been run. The Attica Ledger says: “We are informed the officiatshave made several efforts to compromise. On Wednesday papers wore made out in Warren county for the arrest of the men who have charge of the engines, but ud to the hour of going to press they had not been served I by the constable. The San Francisco Chronicle says 'California needs at least two thousand miles more railway; but it would be a public calamity if the Central Paclfio should build, own and control them. The same paper says the Central Pacific’s best days are gone, let us hope, never to return. It is in the condition of a whipped and broken-down bully. Its dikes are broken in many place. Its stock is a drag In the market at 40 or less. The half yearly statement of gross and net earning* of the Atchison, Topska & Santa Fe railway exhibits at once a high degree of prosperity. The gross earnings for the half year ending June 30, 1884, were $7,646,815, or at the ratonl $1,274,469 per moath, and $15,293,628 a year. But the earnings for the six months ending Dee. 31 will probably bring the earnings for the whole year up to $17,000,900. The net earnings were $3,535,409 for these six months, <n a very little over 46 per Cent, of the grass. Now that this rich and prog porous corporation has extended Its system into California, Avlfh the assurance of connections both with Ban Francisco and San Diego, we may reasonably anticipate even more favorable retnme. ■ '■** Eorsford'a Arid Phosphate.
