AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The passenger rate cutting in New York is growing less and the prices are stiffening. The five western roads last week brought into this station 4,004 loaded cars, against 4,052 the Corresponding week 1883. A. B. Marks has been appointed agent of tho Ohio Southern railway at Waveriy, the appointment to take effect to day. Nothwithstanding the low rates on live stock east the movement is unusually light. The Vandalia, last week, broueht in but 88 and the I. & St. L. but 92 car-loads of live stock. Thursday last was the banner day on tbe Belt road. There were 1,674 cars trnnferred, whieh was 134 more cars than were ever before transferred over the road iu twenty-four hours. The Seneca division of the C., L, St L. & C. is coming to the front as one of the boss divisions on the system. Last week there were handled on this division 784 cars,sßs of them loaded cars. Flagmen are becoming a heavy expense to railroad companies- On the Chicago division of the C, St L& P. there are 192 flagmen. A larger per cent of them are employed within the city limits of Chicago, Freight agents of St. Louis, as well as Indianapolis roads, are considering the best means to stop the almost universal practice among shippers and receivers of detaining freight cars beyond the time allowed them. The Bee-line last week forwarded east from this point 886 loaded cars; the C., St L. & P., (42: the 1., B. & W., 618; the C., H. & 1., 376. The Bee-line the corresponding week 1883 forwarded 1,369, the C., St, L. &P. 1.411 loaded cars. The superintendents who were in conference at Boston last week referred the subject of a standard time system of signals to tho next meeting, which will be held at Richmond, Va.. upon the Wednesday nearest the middle of April. Tho meeting of local possenger agents this morning is rather an important one as an agreement u to be entered into which, if lived up to, will p.ut a stop to rate cutting and make the Indianapolis passenger agents appear more respectable in the eyes of the outside world. The earnings of the 1., B. & W. road for the second week m September were $64,088.38; from freights, $38,519.66, passengers, $21,634.10; miscellaneous, $3,832.63. There was a slight decrease in freight earnings over corresponding week, 1883, but an increase of some S9OO in passenger earnings and from miscellaneous sources. The engineer's profile of the Indianapolis. Eel River & Western road shows that there will be 2,100 feet of bridges to build and 6,500 feet of trestle work. In the construction of the road 2,800 cross-ties to the mile will be put in, and a sixty-poundto-theyard steel rail. TwentyBeven miles of steel rails have already been purchased. It is reported in Philadelphia that a private cable message has been received from England to the effect that the proposition to raise money for the Erie in London has fallen flat, ana that no aid will be given to resuscitate Louisville & Nashville and Wabash in London. What will become of the Wabash, should this rumor prove true, is an interesting question. There is less railroad construction now going on in Indiana than in any year since 1847, when the first road in the State, the Madison & Indianapolis, was completed. In fact, railroad building is at a stand-still. Even Colonel John Lee has suspended operations. The extension of the Vandalia to South Bend and grading on the Indianapolis, Eel River & Western road is the only work now in progress. The scheme to remove the Chicago and Ohio River pool office from Indianapolis to Chicago has been revived. Indianapolis is the proper place for the headquarters of the officers of the pool, and while the commissioner and his private secretary are excellent men and fully competent to hold their respective offices, there are other men who could fill their positions, and would gladly leave the pool offices where they now are. It is quite evident that the scare a few weeks since which came over the passenger conductors on the Indianapolis & St Louis road was uncalled for. Had there been sixteen >male and three female spotters on the I. & St. L. trains for two weeks, as report had it, the heads of several of the conductors would have tumbled into the basket, as spotters nearly always manage to make general managers believe certain of their conductors are dishonest whether there is any real grounds for such a belief or not. The Wabash people give notice*by circular they will on September 28 open anew line, St. Louis to the East, via Detroit and Niagara Falls, in connection with the Grand Trunk railway, and also that the managers of the St. Louis Exposition have designated September 30, as a special “Wabash day,’’ and etraordinary efforts will be made to entertain visitors from all points on the line of the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific railway on that day. Excursion tickets to St. Louis and return will be sold at a rate of about one cent per mile. Baggage agents'have opened their eyes to the fact that much loss of baggage could be prevented by simply requiring all pieces to. be marked with the owners name and address; and in their late convention they decided that to have notices to the public posted in all stations, requesting the co-operation of the public, was a good move. It is to be hoped that the daily press will be made generally cognizant of this recommendation ana its object, for tbe public need only be made to understand that if properly marked stray baggage will be returned to the owner’s address, to enlist their aid and greatly lessen the annual accumulation of unclaimed baggage at the offices. Views of a Friend of Pools. To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: 1 notice in this morning’s paper the reasons given by “Meridian-street Merchant,” as to “Why the traffic of Indianapolis roads has decreased,” and beg space in your valuable paper to make a brief reply. Ia the first place; I would like him. to be more explicit regarding the alleged “discrimination mads against Indianapolis in favor of Cleveland, Toledo, and other Eastern points,” and give some figures on the subject to verify his statement. I have gone carefully over, the established east-bound tariffs, and fail to find tbe “discrimination” to which he refers. He further states the “pooling system is productive of no good results.” Again the oftrepeated vexata quaestio! The objects of the pool, as I understand it, are to place both large and small shippers upon an equality, and to insure to the railroad companies fair remuneration for services rendered, which practically means prosperity in a great many phases, among which may be mentioned living salariee to the great number of railroad, employes-, dividends for the stockholders, who are, in many cases, widows and orphans dependent upon the same for means of support, and the general healthy tone prevalent throughout the country. On the oth- • er hand, the results of ruinous competition are too well known to need comment. Regardingthe diverting of freieht to “even up” tne pool balances, Commissioner Fink, in his letter of Sept. 15; 1883, which appeared in the Indianapolis Journal of Sept. 19; 1883, states: the following: “In making diversions of freight from one road to another, the company recognize their duty to give the same facilities and promptness over the road to which the freight has been diverted, as would have been given over the road originally selected by the shipper. Therefore, the service performed being the same over each route, and ilie charge for the service also being the same, there can be no good reason why the shipper should have any preference for one route over another. He might be prejudiced against a road, but a sensible business man does not usually spend money on account of his prejudice, bnt if he wants to pay more simply to gratify his prejudice, he receives Value for his money, and has no cause for complaint against the railroad companies. Asa rule, it may be inferred that, if a shipper insists upon shipping over one particular route, when other routes render the same service, he has sothe Substantial reasons for doing so in the shape of lower rates; and the object of diverting freight is to break up this favoritism and unjust discrimination, and to have pay the same rate tor the Same services.” Where increased revenue is not perceptible, it is owing to that the roads themselves, rate made by aly one line. For instance, tho

rate on grain was some time ago fifteen cents from Chicago to New York —it barely covered the cost of transpurtioD. I would also invite “A Meridian-street merchant” to read “Pools and their Authority” in the “Commercial and Financial Chronicle” of Sept. 8, 1883; also Mr. Blanchard's statement regarding the benefits of the pooling system, which was published some time ago in the Railway Age. A careful perusal of the above will, 1 think, alter his opinion. In conclusion, then, we would say, if the pools are a total failure, although they are not considered so by the majority of railroad men, let ns hope that they will speedily be replaced by an association that will guarantee still better results to the raidroad and commercial interests of this country. Rate Maintained Indianapolis, Sept. 18,1884. A Slight Increase In Traffic Over Indlanapapolis Lines. The train records show a slight increase in the movement of loaded cars over that of the weekending Sept 13, yet there were 2,191 more loaded cars received and forwarded at this point the corressponding period of 1883. The loss is wholly in east bound business. However, indications are to an improvement in the near luture, certainly within the next month, when the new corn crop will begin go forward, for which it is thought there will be a good export demand, as well as an active .demand at interior paints and New England. West-bound traffic is quite satisfactory, notwithstanding the increased competition. The old lines are carrying a larger tonnage than at the corresponding period lost year, and getting better rates fqj carrying it. North and south roads are doing a good business, and, thanks to the Chicago and Ohio River pool, are carrying at much better rates than in tne fall of 1883. Local traffic is heavier, both out and in-bound. Westward rates, where there is competition, are being cut, for which there seems to be no real necessity. There are those, however, who believe the matter will never be remedied until a west-bound pool is established here. Below is given the number'of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending at 12 o’clock m., Sept. 20, as compared with the movement of the week preceding. " Sept. 13.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1884.

A MOST WONDERFUL MAN. Dr. E. C. Flower, of BostoD, and His Marvelous Cares. By “Pietro.” (Petroleum V. Nasby.) All the great men in the world are not in politics, literature or finance. There are Vanderbilts in every profession. One of the most remarkable men in Boston, and one who has been for some years, and is now, attracting the most attention, is Dr. R. C. Flower, a physician. He attracts attention, not because lie has sought it, but because he is remarkable. He is like no other physician in the world, his methods being entirely different, and his practice altogether unique. He differs from tho rest of the profession in his methods of diagnosing, in his way of ascertaining and locating disease, and in the treatment afterwards. And, he differs from most other physicians in the one particular of being uniformly successful in all cases he undertakes. This is perhaps the most startling point of difference. Dr. Flower is a man of medium height, with a clear-cut, intelligent face, a pleasant, winning manner, a manner that inspires confidence, and a rather brusqne but entirely considerate address. His brusqueness comes from the fact that his time is taken perpetually, from early morning till late at night, and he has no time to spare for circumlocution or unnecessary words. It is only apparent, for no man has the interest of his patients more at heart, and no man feels more keenly for the suffering. I have visited Dr. R. C. Flower’s office frequently, and met and conversed with patients from all parts of the globe. In conversation, one day, with some patients, while waiting my turn (there are from fifty to 100 iu waiting all the time) for an interview with the Doctor, I had the good fortune to hear Mrs. Emma Storey, of 3 Cumberland terrace, Portland, Me., relate her experience as a patient of Dr. Flower. “About one year ago,” said this bright little Yankee woman. “I came to see Dr. Flower. My affection was one of tho worst, a most dreadful scrofulous humor, suffering with an excru--1 ciating burning, while stinging, cancerous pains shot np into the breast. The scrofulous poison, like an eating cancer, had spread nearly over my body, consuming rapidly flesh, muscle and bone. The bones of the breast were exposed where the flesh had been consumed. My appetite had lone since left me; my strength was all gone. I could hardly walk. My physicians had given me up to die. and believing, as I had for some time, that my life at best was short and that this brief period must be ono of great suffering, I came to Dr. Flower as a last resort, fearing that like all other physicians he would either decline to take my case, or if he did so only to abandon it at an early day. After an examination the Doctor said he could not promise to cure me; that the chances were against my getting wall, though he thought there were some chances in favor of my recovery. ‘I will take your case, if you desire it,’ he said, ‘and do for you all that lean, and this is all that lean promise.’ To make my story short, Dr. Flower began immediate treatment, ahd from that day to this it has seemed like a dream. I was conscious from the beginning that I was not in the hands of an ordinary physician. His diagnosis of my case was a marvel. He accurately, and in detail, described my disease from its origin, better than I could have told him, and his every change in the treatment of my case has been that of a master. He has never made a mistake. My improvement has been just as he said it would he. Look at me now! lam a well woman. The sores are all healed. My blood is chemically pure and I am happy, happy once more. And all the treat- - ment was done at my own home. You cannot tell roe anything about Dr. Flower, which belongs to the treatment of disease, that I cannot believe.” DR. FLOWER’S OFFICES. I can hardly give a description of these offices. The crowds, the crowds, the crowds, and that is about all I can say. I remarked to an old whiteheaded Rhode Island judge, that ene might suppose that Dr. Flower's offices were a great thoroughfare leading from one country to another, judging from the crowds that pass in and out, “That is just what they are, replied the shrewd old lawyer of political fame, “they lead from disease to health, and there is no mistake about it” Dr. Flower’s offices differ from those of the ordinary physicians. His offices are at 1762 Washington street, corner Chester Park. This large, nve-story building is occupied by Dr. Flower entirely for professional purposes. The long, wide basement, extending through to the driveway in the rear, is his manufacturing department and chemical rooms. Here are large steam works, boilers; condensers, vats, tanks and all modern medical and chemical apparatus. Tho second floor, or floor above the basement is used exclusively for reception rooms and the Doctor’s private offices. The first large reeepi tion room is nearly seventy feet in length, with five large windows, veranda in front, which is richly shaded by the typical New England elms. The next floor is all offices; then comes the secretary’s and stenographer’s room, and tbe apartments of the cashiers and book-keepers. This corner is a bee hive of industry. From the shipping rooms are sent every week thousands of boxes of Dr. Flower's medicines. The manager of one of the largest express companies told me that Dr. Flower ships more boxes of remedies by express than any hundred physicians in the country. I made extensive inquiry regarding Dr. Flower, both as a man and physician, among bankers, merchants and manufacturers who had never had any professional association with him. They all gave him a most earnest indorsement as a great physician and a man of marked, ability, shrewd, sharp and quick, unpretentious, free from the spirit of boastfulness, a man et large benevolence, unexcelled socially, and one who never started out to do. anything that he did not succeed in. He is a man who has an unlimited! acquaintance (I mean unlimited) and friends by the thousands. He has, of course, his share of enemies, and I talked with them as well as his friends. I find that they are either persons es prejudice, who know but little or nothing of him, or are professionally jealous of him. He has been remarkably successful in business as well as in his practice, and those who have seen At to pit their efforts against him and have failed naturally feel sore over'the ultimatum of events. Dr. Flower is one of the most busy men I ever saw, and he seems most happy when he has most to do. His work is a work of method, everything is systematized, and moves without jar or conflict. Ha employes a great many pea pie in the West and South as wall as the East. He can tell you any day what each person is doing, and what each person can do. Dr. Flower’s home is on Commonwealth avenue, the finest avenue in the city. Hie home is one of the most- elegant in the East, a place of art, culture, richness, and finish. He is extremely domestic in his nature, and when he is not actively engaged'm his profession, you will find him at his home. It is said that he never ; spent an evening away from home unless his family were with him, except compelled to be absent by most important business. Dr. Flower makes a Western visit for tbs purpose of seeing his patients about once in six or eight weeks. He visits on these journeys some city or cities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and lowa. This en ables patients in the West who need to consult him to do so without making the long journey to Boston. He has over 9,000 patients west es Ohio, hence the importance: of Western visit* occasionally. A most peculiar feature in his practice is his method of examination. He never asks a patient his trouble, as lie can tell anybody their trouble as soon as he sees them. It is said by those who know him that Dr, Flower has made oyer 112,006 exajqiuatioiii that he never made a mistake in most accurately describing the disase, yet he never asked a patient to describe his trouble to him—and this hoi never does from the fact that ho can tell anyone his disease better than be, can tell himself, without asking a question. Mrs. French, wife of Mr. Charles C. French, commission forwarder, 99 Central wharf, said to me: “He described my trouble, without asking me a question, better than 1 could have told him. My liver and stomach were iu a dreadful condition, The bile had gone all through my system. I was as yellow as saffron. The itching day and night was unbearable. My kidneys wore in a r dreadful condition. None of my friends thought

I conld live but a short time. I had treated with several of the best physicians in the city, but without any benefit whatever. Dr. Flower’s treatment was different from that of any other physician. He seemed to understand my trouble as it was never understood before. Well, I did not see any marked improvement the first two months, but he kept telling me he could see a marked improvement, and then, after nine or ten weeks, 1 began to improve'very rapidly, and to-day I consider myself a well woman. I have not taken any of Dr. Flower’s remedies for about six months, and do not feel as though I shall ever need any more medicine. He told me it would take at least five or six months to cure me, and inside of the time specified I was entirely cured. ” JAMES W. CARTWRIGHT, 81 Milk street. Boston, said: “Yes, sir; you can say to the world that Dr. R. 0. Flower is a most skillful and remarkable physician. I have been in business in this city for twenty-five years and ara pretty with the physicians of Boston, hut I never knew a physician like Dr. Flower, and don’t think there ever was another such man. I was in the army three years—had malaria—nervous prostration followed and paralysis set in. I treated with the most skilled physicians of the different schools, hut they did me no good. I grew worse and worse. I consulted Dr. Flower. He described my troubles, without asking me a question, better than I could have told him. He treated my case for a few months and cured me. This was some years ago. I have been in excellent healtli ever since. Look at me! Did you ever see a healthier-look-ing man!” David McNeil, of the firm of McNeil & Miller, manufacturers, Winchester, Mass., said: “Yes, I have known Dr. R. C. Flower for years. I cannot say enough in his praise as a physician. Several years ago 1 was suffering with cancer in the stomach and ulceration of the liver. I treated with the best physicians in tbe country. They were not only unable to cure me but to give me relief. The burning, stinging pains were unbearable and indescribable, my nerves were broken down, I wasted to a mere skeleton, I had given up all hope of getting well and none es my family or friends thought I could Hre but a few weeks. I was advised to consult Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston. I did so. He described my disease so minutely that I was satisfied he understood my case. 1 put myself under his treatment, and in a few months 1 was entirely cured. This was some years ago, and I have been in excellent health ever since. I never felt better in my life than Ido now. I advise all my sick friends to go to Dr. Flower, and I tell you if you have anything the matter with you go to Dr. Flower; and if he can’t cure you I don't think there is any cure for you N. D. Whitney, corner Fremont amd Winter streets, Boston Mass. Mr. Whitney is one of the leading business: men and largest merchants of the city. In answer to the question, what do you think about Dr. Flower as a physician, Mr. W. replied: “Well. Bir, I am very busy, but I will stop any time to say something about Dr. Flower. As to what I think of him, 1 think he is a most wonderful man, a skilled and able physician. He has done for me what nobody else could do, and the same for many of my friends. He is different from any other doctor; he is a marvel, a wonder. I advise all my friends if sick to go and see Dr. F. Asa man he is a most excellent gentleman, the perfeet type of a noble man. Yes, sir, I most heartily indorse him.” A VERY IMPORTANT CASE. I met- yesterday Mr. Larkin Nicholson, of Buchell, Jefferson county, Ky., a retired man, who has been prominent far years in business circles in Jeffersonville, Ind., and Louisville, Ky. His elegant home is now just outside of . Louisville, and his business address is 211 East Market street, Louisville, Ky. Mr. Nicholson has been in Boston nine weeks for the purpose , of having Dr. Flower operate upon a cancer on his lip. The operation was a complete success and the cure absolutely perfect. Not only had his lip been attacked, but his throat and tongue, and he had been given over to death long ago. He eame to Dr. Flower as a last resort, and goes home cured—a happy man, with many long years of life before him. He said to me that Dr. Flower had saved his life, and that he was not only the most wonderful physician in the world, but the very embodiment of integrity, He cou\d not say enough, and no wonder. It is something to be snatched from the very jaws of death. Mr. Nicholson will doubtless answer all inquiries made of him. The way Dr. F; treats the patients who live at a distance and are unable to see him; he sends them a list of questions to answer, which enables him to judge pretty accurately their condition. He then prepares the remedies to suit the case and sends them by express. He gives each patient full instructions as to living, diet,, exercise, etc., the same ap he would by giving them personal attention. He is a man of integrity, one who does everything that is possible for his patients, taking i more intereatin them than ho would for himself. He has performed some of the most startling , cures recorded.in the annala of medicine, and has < the absolute confidence of every one who has come under his charge.
