AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The high officials of the Pennsylvania system start this morning on an inspection of their lines west of Pittsburg. George Darling, general manager of the White line, spent the Sabbath in the city. K:s wife accompanies him on this Western trip. It is now officially stated that W. J. Purdy, late freight agent of the New York Central at Batavia, is a defaulter to the amount of $3,000. Edgar M. Sellon, train dispatcher of the Union Pacific at Wallace, Kan., is a candidate for the State Legislature on the Greenback and Prohibition tickets. O. P. McCarty, assistant passenger agent of the Union Pacific road, who has been in the city for two or three day 6, leaves to day for his headquarters, Omaha. Receiver Humphreys, of the Wabash, says Wabash earnings are about the same as last year, but on a much smaller volume of business, with better maintained rates. The five western roads last week brought into this station 4,828 loaded ca. s, as follow's: I. & St L., 1,147: C., 1., St. L. & C.. 1,124: Vandalia. 1.037; 1., B & \V., Peoria division, 420. St. Louis division. 94. Robert Neilson, general manager of the Northern Central, has finally accepted the position of vice-president and general manage** of the Philadelphia & Reading railway. lie has been a railway man for thirty years. The earnings of the 1., B. & W. since Jan. 1 are $1,908,023, against $2,15C,221 the first nine months of 1883. It is believed, however, that so heavy is the corn crop on the entire system that the deficit will be even more than made up before Jan. 1, 1885. The following changes in agencies on the T. Sc St. L. division of the Bee-line have been made recently. Gays, 111., John Green, vice J. C. Kellum; Edwardsville Crossing. HI., W. F. McKinney, vice J. £. Fitzgerald; Comstock, 111., Lewis Howard, vice M. Brennan. It is believed that the syndicate which owns the Chicago 6c Eastern Illinois and the Evans ville & Terre Haute roads are behind the scheme to place the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis Air-lino in the hands of a receiver, hoping in the end to gather it in as a part of the system. Telegrams from Chicago, on Saturday last, state that it was the opinion of the Chicago eastbound rate committee that all the business contracted for in the West ami Northwest at the old rates would be disposed of by Saturday evening, and all the business after this would go forward at the restored tariff rates. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis. St. Louis & Chicago road earned in the nine months ending Sept. 30, $1,781,985, against $1,844,058 the corresponding period 1883. Before the year closes much of tlie deficit will be made up. and before the closo of the fiscal year, June 30, 1885, an increase in earnings doubtless will be shown. In the week ending Oct. 11 the Bee-line forwarded from this point 1,291 loaded cars, and the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg. 948; the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, 379: Cincinnati. Hamilton fc Indianapolis. 288. making a total of 2.900 loaded cars forwarded hist week against 2,43 G loaded cars forwarded in the week ending Oct. 4. Increase last week, 470 cars. Railroad circles were considerably disturbed Saturday afternoon over a rumor that the White line had decided to be a looker-on no longer, and was offering a cut rate. Commissioner Doherty is doing all in his power to hold rates up in this territory, at least until it is seen whether the Chicago roads will act honorably, and restore east-bound rates to 25 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York.

Freight Business Over Indianapolis Lines. The train records show something of an in trease in car movements over Indianapolis lines last week as compared with the week ending Oct 4, the increase being largely in the eastbound movement, yet there is plenty of room for further increase, as, not for years past has the east-bound movement been so light in the fall of the year as in 1884. Last week there was a fair movement of grain to interior points East, while seaboard business was remarkably light for October. West-bound traffic continues to be highly satisfactory. Besides a heavy tonnage, most of the property is carried at a rate which leaves some margin to the roads carrying it. North and south roads continue to do a good business. Southward an increase in through traffic is noticeable, but their business is largely of a local character. Locally, traffic is hardly up to the usual October average, but an im provement has been noticeable in the last few days, which it is thought is the beginning of a heavier business. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending at 12 o’clock si., Oct. 11, as compared with the movement of the week preceding Oct. 4. j Oct. 11.

There is said to he some hitch in the Hoosac Tunnel line getting into Indianapolis over the C., H Sc I. Possibly the €., H. &D. management has concluded that twelve fast-freight lines was as much of a burden as they can well carry. Messrs. C. G. Kddv and W. E. Everest, of the West Shore roud; John Porteous, of the Grand Trunk road, and J. W. Smith, of the Hoosac Tunnel and West Shore fast freight lines, were in St. Louis and Chicago last week talking matters over. A number of changes have been decided upon, caused by the practical consolida tion under one management of the West Shore and IJoosac Tunnel lines. It has been decided to have a joint agent at Detroit, another for St Paul and Minneapolis, and one each at Peoria,

Kansas City, Boston. Worcester, and Albany. There will be separate agencies for each line at Chicago, Milwaukee, aud St. Louis. What is to be done at Indianapolis is not fully decided upon. The agency at Denver,has been dropped, while the jurisdiction of the Kansas Ortv agent will extend to Denver. The joint agents at Boston and Worcester wilP represent tho West. Shore. Floosac Tunnel and Globe lines. The office at Syracuse has been dropped. Arrangements have also been perfected whereby the West Shore and Hoosac Tunnel lines will soon enter Pennsylvania by way of Weedsport. Pa., and the Southern Central and Lehigh Valley roads. Business will be Liken for Philadelphia and all other Pennsylvania points. It is expected that by Nov. 1 this route will reach more points than are reached by any other fast-freight line. The agents at Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Peoria were in the city yesterday conferring with their superiors. Early Railroading in tlie West. Below is published the first time table of wliat was tlie germ of the now grand Chicago, Burlington & Quincy system. This time table took effect Dec. 20, 1855, and was issued by H. Liglitner, superintendent, and is held as a relic by an Indianapolis railroad man: On and after the 20tli day of December, 1855. the freighting train will leave the foot of Bridge street at 8 o’clock a. M.. taking the materials for construction, and the freight that offers, and the baggage and passenger cars attached behind, and run to Brimfield station in one hour and thirty minutes, decreasing the speed materially over the tressel-work and bridges, and increasing or decreasing the speed whore the track may be better or worse: iul will there leave the baggage and passenger cars, and proceed to distribute the fieiglit taken out, and then return, bringing in what freight offers. The gravel train will leave the slat ion at Peoria at 1:30 A. M., or thereubouts, and take the coal cars, and drop them on the main track at the coal mines, and theu proceed to work, running slowly over the tresslework and bridges, and fast on that part of the track in good order: and will be on the side-track at 9. or on the side-track at Lane ion at 9:25, or at Hrinilield at 9:40, for the other trains to pass; will then proceed -again to work, aud will regard the signal of the other train returning, and get on a side-track with u* little delay as possible; will in the evening leave the flats at some convenient place, and be at Brimfield at 5 P. M., to bring in the passenger aud bugguge cars, and arrive at Peoria at 1:30. Not a Popular Official. The eccentricities of Mr.F. Broughton, general manager of the Chicago & Atlantic, have receded considerable attention and unfavorable comment. It seems that in his orders Mr. Broughton uses tlie English names of employes and certain acts, as “shunt” for switch, “driver” for engineer, “stoker” for fireman, “byeway* for siding and others still less familiar. As far as the use of names goes it is always more sensible to use the terms that are most easily understood. The Railway Register, in commenting on his eccentricities, says: “It would be affectation in an American railway man, imported into England, to use American terms and ignore the English appellations. 80, when Mr. Broughton uses terms his men are unfamiliar with, he simply excites ridicule and discontent. ” Will Preserve the Organization. The train dispatchers were in session some three hours last night, there being a full representation of the roads of this State. After a free discussion it was voted unanimously to continue the organization known as the Indiana Train Dispatchers* Association, believing that it can be carried on without friction with the National Train Dispatchers* Association. The Indiana train dispatchers will meet monthly to discuss questions ot interest to them, these meetings taking something of a social character; and probably they will hold some of these monthly meetings at other points in the State, that train dispatchers at such points shall not think it and Indianapolis institution. Railroad Earning*. The Financial Chronicle of Oct. 11 reports the gross earnings of forty seven railroads from Jar. 1 to Sept. 30, as amounting to $132,720,704, as against $133,129,449 for the same time last year, a net decrease of $408,085. The earnings lor the month of September, according to the same compilations, for forty-nine railroads amounted to $10,867,353 as against $17,824,410 same time last year, a decrease of $957,003 on an increase mileage of 1,687 miles. The Railway QuarreL Baltimore. Oct 12.—The order of die Penn sylvania Railroad Company, cutting off the trains of the Baltimore <te Ohio road between this city and New York, which was to have taken effect on and after the 12th inst.. was not enforced to-day, and the Baltimore & Ohio trains were taken as usual. The impression here is that the Pennsylvania road will await the decision of the courts in the injunction cases before taking further action.

Miscellaneous Notes. The members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who went West over the Union Pacific, will generally return by the Denver Sc Rio Grande route, in order to observe the remarkable engineering skill which was developed in the construction of it and to enjoy its scenicbeauties. The firmer tone to the steel rail market continues. For small lots $28.50 to $29 is usked at the mills and only specially desirable contracts are taken at less. Mills have their capacity pretty well under contract for winter months, so that manufacturers are less anxious for business unless on terms somewhat favorable to themselves. It is stated that the Lake Shore freight business has begun to improve considerably, and the cans are aiow about all employed. The Trunk .line etifetfcrn traffic increased last week 9,500 tons. lubtj|Sio export, demand has grown so large M the shippers have found great chartering vessels sufficient for the transportation. The reduction of time on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railway, by the introduction of a system of interlocking switches which obviates the necessity of stopping at every drawbridge, has excited the interest of travelers along the Sound for the past year, and it is now possible to go from New'York to New Haven in two hours and five minutes. The trouble regarding the west-bouud pass senger business continues, and the attitude othe Rock Island is such that a restoration of rates seems unlikely without a war. as it is folly to suppose that the lines can restore rates so long as the Rock Island’s 1.000-mile tickets are in the hands of every scalper in the country, and it refuses to provide for their retirement. Two more surveys of the proposed lino of the Lookout Mountain railroad are about’to be made, and the engineers have already commenced work It has not yet been decided whether the Mount Washington railroad plan of construction will be adopted or not, but should it be, Mr. Marsh, who built the Mount Washington road, will be engaged to superintend the Lookout Mountain road. An Infant Left on a Doorstep. An infant, apparently three or four weeks old. was left on the doorstep of Alonzo Basemore, who lives at No. 140 Agnes street, cm last Friday night The police have been investigating the case and find that the infant is the child of a young woman who stopped for a few days at a house on West Pearl street. About the time the infant was left on Basemore's doorstep she left the city, and the police think that they have unquestionable proof that a prominent business man, who is married and has a family, is the father of the .abandoned child. Thomas Cheeseman was arrested yesterday morning on a charge of grand larceny for stealing a horse from Mrs. Sophia Belch, on Virginia avenue. The animal was recovered. For three years Mr. R. 0. Wright, of Gaston, N. C., had been an intense sufferer from Rheumatism. His friend, J. A. Warwick, of Peters burg, V*., writes: “Before the first bottle of Athlophoros was finished he was able to walk, and now goes about all over his farm.” In this case, which the friends of Mr Wright regarded ns desperate, a test was made of Athlophoros. It surprised friend and patient, by its prompt and thorough action on tho blood and diseased parts, and won the emphatic opinion that it was truly a specific for Rheumatism.

At the conclusion of the services at the (Central Christian Church, yesterday morning, ltev. David Walk, who for nearly four years has been in charge of that congregtitiun, avowed his in tention of rotiring from that position at the end of the present year and traveling abroad. In re gard to the matter lie said: Dear Brothers, and Sisters, and Friends: I would be either more or less than man, did I fail to be profoundly impressed with the many to kens of Christian love of which I have been the recipient during the past week, and the many expressions of mingled joy and sorrow which have poured in upon me, both verbal and grapnic: joy at tho good fortune which has be falien me, sorrow at tho thought that the de lightful relations which have so long subsisted between us us pastor and people, must so soon be terminated. But I beg you to cousider that, first of all, I must have r*Bt. For more than thirty-one years I have diligently prosecuted the chosen work of my life, and in all that long and eventful period I have never taken but a single summer's vacation. Although in the very prime of a vigorous manhood, and free from disease, so far as I know, still I am admonished that the time has come to call a halt, aud repair the over taxed vital forces of nature. This I propose to do, not in idleness, but by a change of labor. After having devoted a little time to the adjustment of my private affairs. I shall, by the blessing of God, carry into execution ono of tlie cherished purposes of iny life, namely, to spend a year, more or less, in those lands made sacred by the earthly life and labors of our deal* Lord. In this way I hope to prepare myself for still further and greater usefulness in the cause of Him whose I am and whom 1 serve. 1 realize that God has been very good to me and mine. He has been lavish in blessings of every kiud and in every way, and I feel that I owe llirn a debt which an eternity of devotion cannot repay. It is more than probable that we will make our home in Indianapolis. "We love this city; we love her people, and, above all, we love this church. Here God has greatly blessed my labors, and undoubtedly the best and most successful work of my ministerial life has been done here. Many and precious are the memories which must forever be associated in my mind with this church and city. How many of you dear ones have I introduced into the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. How many marriage vows have I blessed. And. oh, how many of your beloved dead have I laid away to rest. But lam impressed with the conviction—nor is it a conviction of sudden impulse—that, for the present, at least, these happy relations should be severed, and so I hereby announce my determination to retire from this pulpit with the close of my fourth year of service as your pastor —that is to say March 31, 1885. And now, my dearly beloved, “The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee and he gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give the peace.” And this I ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

Edison to a New York Interviewer. “The great secret of doing away with the in teruiediarv furnaces, boilers, steam engines and dynamos will bo found, probably, within ten years. I have been working away at it for some months and have got to the point where an apparently insurmountable obstacle confronts me. Working at the problem now seems to me very much like driving a ship straight for the face of a precipice and when you come to grief picking yourself up and trying it again to morrow. There is an opening in the barrier somewhere and some lucky man will find it. 1 have got far enough to know that the tiling is poesi ble. I can get quite a current now directly from tho combustion of fuel. Jablochkoff tried his hand at the same thing some years ago, and so did some Germans, but the results were laboratory curiosities only. I give myself five years to work at it, and shall think myself lucky if I succeed in that time. “The uuscieutifie world has no conception of what such a discovery would mean. It would put an end to boilers and steam engines; it would make power about one-Umth a* cheap as it is now; it would enable a atcauiship to cross the Atlantic at a nominal cost; it would enable every poor man to run liie own carriage; it would revolutionize the industrial world."’ Unhappy Mr. H**olier. Pittsburg I>i*fm£ch. Tho main trouble with Mr. Beecher’s ease against Blaine is that his only w itness persist ently testifies for tho other side. “100 Doses One Dollar’’ is true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it ia an unanswerable aigu ment us to strength and economy.

POINTS FROM THE STATE PRESS. The In do pen dent. Free-Traders —The National Democratic Ticket Abandoned. A Painful Lack of Memory. Peru Republican. The Freeman, which is the Indiana organ of the Perfectionists, ruils at Mr. Blaine for hold lug bonds of the Little Rock & Ft Smith rail road, while Speaker of the House, at a time when an act passed by Congress made them more valuable. But none of tlie Perfectionists have seemed to remember that tlie late Senator Morrill was a member of tlie same Congress, and owner of the same bonds and voted for the same bill. The Perfectionists laud Senator Morrill as a paragon of honor and integrity They even at tach the name of his widow, without her consent, to letters which she never wrote, denounc ing Mr. Blaine's transactions as corrupt. Men who assume to bo honest above other men should cultivate the virtue of consistency. Tlie Harper* and the Irish. Cionhen Times. The report is that Th. Nast and the Harper Brothers are again at loggerheads. For two or three weeks the publishers of tho Weekly have rejected all of Nast's caricatures of Irishmen, knowing it will take thousands of votes from the Democracy. The compromise offered by tho Harpers is that Nast may resume his work against the Irish after the election, and the art ist has the proposition under consideration. Have Abandoned tho National Ticket. Rockville Republican. Cleveland and Hendricks have been utterly abandoned by the Democracy of Parke county. In all their speeches tlie local Democratic ora tors maintain a dead silence on the record of their candidates. No eulogy is pronounced on the glorious war record of Hendricks, and no attempt is made to hold < ’leveland up as a bright and shining example for tlie benefit of young men just starting in life. Little Oatmeal Vinton. Spencer Republican, The little free-trade dude Lindley, an alleged independent Republican, spoke here a few nights ago. Lindloy goes a little further than a distinguished Democrat in this county, and now says that “oatmeal and hominy are good enough lor working men. ” Working men here want to remember that Lindley’s utterances w ere approved by tho Democracy here. .Something Wrong iu American Customs. Martinsville Republican. A dispatch regarding Cleveland s reception at Buffalo is very particular to state “A great many ladies were presented to him.” Now, if these same ladies would not be willing to put on their same jewels and same sweet smiles, and be presented to Mrs. Maria Halpin, then there is something wrong in American customs. Without a Flaw. Attica Ledger. In all the parade of the Mulligan letters the Democratic managers have been unable to place their fingers on any questionable or dishonorable act of James G. Blaine. His record as a member of Congress, as United Suites senator and Secretary of State under Garfield is without a flaw. Too Late to Hedge. Now Albativ Ledger, (Dem.) Rebel pensions and the tariff are the issues the Indianapolis Journal is fighting the campaign on. There is just as much practical sense in one as in the other. There is no more danger of this country adopting free-trade than there is of its paying rebel pensions.

Side Shows. Brazil Register. There are rather more side-sliows than usual in the political field this year, but it should be remembered that the fight is between Democracy and Republicanism. One of the two parties is sure to win. Local Questions. Fort Wayne Gazette. There are two subjects Cleveland does not care to give an opinion on. They are the tariff and Maria Hal pin. The ex-sheriff is of the opinion, no doubt, these*are local questions. Knocked Out Two of the Ten, Already. Feorta (III.) Transcript. Henry Ward Beecher has started to smash the Decalogue. ‘ Thou shalt not bear false witness" seems to trouble him no more than the Seventh Commandment. It Will Reconcile the Democracy. Ell.hart Independent (Ind. Dein.). If, as Mr. Blaine said at Newark, 0.. mere personality is of small account, it goes far toward reconciling people to the Halpin scandal. The Difference. New York Mail and Express. Ben Butler says: *Tf Jackson were alive he would vote, for me. ’’ No he wouldn't* If Jackson were alive Ben Butler would vote for him. A Dark ami Gloomy Day. Delphi Journal. It will be a dark and gloomy day for America when free trade is established in this country, for the benefit of England and a solid South. Os tho Time of Humeses 11. New Albany Ledger. Mr. Tilden speaks as one from the grave. His words seem like those used in the state papers of the statesmen of long ago. Tho Ten Commandments, Probably. Bloomfield Democrat. Republicans have been circulating campaign documents in the Sunday-schools of this county. Shame on them. A Long-Felt Want. -Mnnticcllo Herald. Tho Democrats want Blaine to withdraw, which will be chronicled in the future as a “long felt want.” _ The True Battle. Lebanon Mercury. • Tho battle to-day is not so much Blaine against Cleveland as it is America against England. Another Democratic Contingent. Vernon Banner. The tramps are now drifting into the cities for the winter, and for the beuelit of the Democratic ticket. Prospect for a Revival of Trade. Loutavilie Courier-Journal. Sullivan is going to Europe. The European distillers will soon begin to bear the hum of industry. FUNERAL NOTICE.
