AFFAIKS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and J.ocal. T. L. Dunn, superintendent of tbe L., N. A. ( 4b C. road, was in the city yesterday on special business. C H. Brice has beon succeeded as vice-presi-<lcat of the Richmond & Danville by T. W. Huidekoper. The station on the Indianapolis & St Louis road heretofore known as Stockton, hereafter is to be called Loxa. On the 18th the 1., B. & W. people will establish an agency at Tecamseh, 0.. where they' cross the Cincinnati, Van Wert & Michigan roa<i ' Several of the roads were annoyed in the rnnsnng of traius, yesterday, by the breaking down of telegraph wires from the ice whieh loaded them down. John B. Carson, general manager of the L„ N. A. & C. system, is in New York in consultation with the directory of the road. He is to be absent several days. It is stated that several changes are contemplated in passengyr conductors on a system of Toads where the conductors have had quiet times •ince Colonel Barton went East. William Hicklen, who bought out ticketscalper Kiestord on Jan. 1, has been seriously 111 for some days. Mr. Hieklin was formerly local agent of the C, L, St. L. &.C. at this point. The Pullman Palace-car Company, at Pulljnan, are building & train of elegant passenger -coaches for the L., N. A. & C., to take the place of the train recently destroyed by fire near Putuamvitle. K. H. Wade, superintendent of transportation; George Stevens, superintendent; M. M. Knight, general freight agent, and Mr. Sweet, division freight agent, of the Wabash, were in the city yesterday, prospecting. The Cnicago & Alton road has put on another passenger train between Chicago and Kansas City, making three daily trains each way. This gives tho L, B. & W. train leaving Indianapolis at 5 p. m. a direct connection. Room 92, on South Illinois street, is tobe fitted up nicely for railroad offices, and will be occupied by Passenger Agents Hendry, of the A., TANARUS, & S. F., Tinney, of the C., W. & B.; Mordough, of the C., M. & St. P., and Fishback, of the St. P. & Manitoba. One of the largest contracts for the shipment of grain ever made in the West was consummated Thursday. Accprding to this arrangement 7,000 car-loads of corn, containing 3,500,000 bushels, will be sent from Nebraska points to Baltimore, via St. Louis. John Egan, general ticket agent of the C., L, St. L. & C-, has notified other officials of Indianapolis lines that George Rech has been authorized to represent the Big Four at all meetings of passenger men at Indianapolis when be (Air. Egan) is unable to be present. The resignation of Mr. Joseph Sprague as president and superintendent of the Ohio Falls car works, at Jeffersonville, was accepted at a meeting of the directors held Wednesday. His successor has not been elected, but it is proposed to put an able man at the head of the establishment. A Chicago paper stai’ts the rumor that grain rates from Peoria to New York are being, cut by the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, and Peoria. Decatur & Evansville roads, the cut being 2j cents below tariff rates. The Journal has good authority for saying there is no grounds for such a report. The prospects that Indiana is to have a Railway Commission improve. There are now itwenty two States in the Union that have Railway Commissioners. There is a Commission in every New England State. Only New York, of all the Middle States, and she not until last year, has seen fit to adopt any system of railroad regulation. The waiters at tho Union Depot. Indianapolis, some thirty in number, yesterday, for the first time, appeared in uniform, which consisted of a white linen jacket and a white apron. By the by, under the management of Thomas Taggart, these dining rooms have become known over tho country favorably for their cleanliness, good food, and prompt service. On Jan. 18 the 1., B. & W. will commence moving its trains on the new time-card, and will on that dato withdraw all through trains from the St Louis division, and will only run a local accommodation train between Decatur and Indianapolis, reaching Indianapolis in the morning at 11a.m., and, returning, leave Indianapolis for Decatur at 5:02 p. m. As these trans will be merely run for local business, they turn all the through business over to the Peoria division. Arrangements have been made with the Wabash by which all coupon tickets reading via Decatur, in either direction, will be good via Danville. A certain clique of lawyers at Fafayette, it is stated, entertain a petty spite against the L., N. A. & C. Railroad Company, and whenever they secure a judgment against the company they annoy them as much as possible. The company has plenty of property in Lafayette subject to attachment, but this seems unsatisfactory, and they go to some station and attach the ticket office. An official of the road cites one case. When the lawyer who secured a judgment knew thnt a check was in the hands of an agent with which to pay the sum awarded, and had been for two days, yethe gotout on attachment and closed one of the company’s ticket offices. The last eighteen months the company has been unfortunate. and it is no trilling affair that every few days some party gains a verdict against them of a few thousand dollars. While the damages may be just, the matter should not be aggravated by annoying the company more than it is really necessary to do.

An Excellent Keconl. As the roads centering at Indianapolis, the country a good record regarding the movement of their passenger trains, making a better average than do the trains arriving and departing at any leading railway center between the Ohio river and tlio lakes, the Alleghenies and the Missouri river, an examination of the train movement of 1884, so far as arrivals are concerned, becomes of some interest. To get at the matter understand ingly, it will be necessary to divide the trains into threo classes, namely, those arriving from tho East, those from the West, and roads which run practically only local trains, and experience no delays in waiting on connections. Os the Eastern lines, if tho nine days the G, L, St. L. & G was troubled by the Ohio river flood is not included, the Big Four makes the best record, tho fast express trains having been during the year reldom late. The C., H. & TANARUS). stands second, the 1., B. & W., (eastern division) third, Bee-line fourth, C., St. L. & P. filth, Wabash sixth. On the Bee-line, train No. 5, due at Indianapolis at 10:45 p. m.. nnd or: the C., St. L & P. train No. 1, due at 11:37 A. M., made the most unfavorable record. It is proper in this connection to say that these trains are invariably delayed waitiug on Eastern connections at Cleveland and Columbus. Os the Western linos, tho G. I. St L. & C. makes the best record: the Vandalia comes second, the L, B. & W. (Pporia division) third, the I. & St. L. fourth. The days that three of those lines were troubled with high waters are are not included in the statement Trains on the Western lines, however; make a much more favorable exhibit thaw do the trains of the Eastern lines. The roads which run only local trains, practically, of course make tho best record. Os these the J. M. fc I. stands first, the 1., B. & W. (St Louis division) second, the Indianapolis & Vincennes third, the C. St L. & P. (Kokomo division) fourth, L., N. A <fc C. Air lino fifth. Very seldom, however, are any of the trains of tiie Inst five named roads late in arriving ttt this terminus. This statement entire is based on the number of times trains were late on the total movement For instance, the J.. M. & 1., had four trains per day into Indianapolis, the 1. &V. but two; in averaging up the number of times the trains were late in arriving, the latter shows the largest number in proportion to trains run. Both experienced some trouble during tho year from nigh waters, and tho days these troubles were most serious are not included. Taken as a whole, however, the Indianapolis roads' can challenge all other' competing lines to show a train-board which has averaged tp mark so few late arrivals as that at the Union Depot, in 1884, in proportion to the number of trains run. Times with the Locomotive Works. The principal business done at Patterson, N. 3., is the building of locomotives, consequently kt the matters are decidedly dull at

that usually active manufacturing city. The Rogers locomotive works employ, when times are good. 3,000 hands, and turn out 300 engines a year; the Grant works and Cooke works, employing each about 700 hands, make 200 engines a year. At the present time little or nothing is doing in these works; many of the mechanics have gone elsewhere in search of employment At the Rogers works instead of 2.000 men only 500 or 600 are at work. About the same propor tion of men are at work at the other shops. Wages have also been greatly reduced. A few days ago a reduction of from sto 10 per cent, went into effect at the Rogers works. The downward tendency in the price of locomotives caused the reduction. The employes have quietly submitted to the inevitable. Their wages are about equal to those paid at other works throughout the country, the Rogers company having been paying slightly higher wages than other establishments. The locomotive men, however, are not by any means despondent. The depression they partially account fot* by the fact that no new railroads are building and the old roads are all cutting down expenses. The manufactures stand ready to seize upon anything that turns up.

The War on Emigrant Rates. New York, Jan. 16. —The cut-rate war seems likely to become a double-effder instead of being only a contest of rates westward. This will be precipitated by the ugly fight being now opened between the Grand Trunk and the Lake Shore. ; Since Jan. 1, though in a measure secretly, the Grand Trunk has been carrying emigrants from Montreal and Quebec to Chicago for $7. The Allan lino of steamships, plying between Quebec and Liverpool, has had a contract-rate of $7 for emigrant traffic from Quebec to Chicago, and more recently European agents have been permitted to draw orders on Montreal and Quebec for Chicago transportation of steerage passengers at the above rate. In retaliation the Lake Shore is now cutting rates from Chicago east, though not openly. Asa result of the Grand Trunk-Alien line contracts, the steamship lines of this city are loudly demanding the same rate forenrgrant traffic to Chicago as is enjoyed by the Allen line over the Grand Trunk. Any settle raent of the rate war is now made more difficult, because if the companies were disposed at once to restore rates they could not until the foreign orders of tbe Grand Trunk agents expired. These orders are unlimited, no date for use can be fixed, and the field becomes more demoralized. The New York Central is to-day selling second-class tickets to Chicago at SB, and the Erie at the same rate. Miscellaneous Notes. The Fitchburg road (Hoosac Tunnel route), tho Boston Herald says, is bringing three-quar-ters of the grain from the West into Boston. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo is hard at work making surveys for the location of an extensive cattle yard which it proposes to build at once near the “Link road,” which connects the road with tho Southern Pacific at El Paso. Major Charles A. Evans, of Denver, has furnished the Chicago Railway Review with a set of rules for testing automatic car-couplers, and while they may not be perfect they certainly aid in reducing to a system a study which has become the confusion and plague of railroad commissioners, maste” - , ar builders and other officials. Most of the Southern roads are having a pros perous winter business. The travel to New Orleans and to Florida from the Northwest was never so great as now. An instance is shown in the increase of 12 per cent, in the earnings of the Louisville & Nashville for the first week of January over the same week of 1884. The Memphis & Charleston’s earnings for December also show an increase of 12 per cent over December, 1883. The famous tripartite alliance between the Union Pacific, Rock Island & St. Paul, a part of whose provisions were set aside to enable the roads, with others, to try temporary pooling agreements antagonistic to the alliance, will soon come into force again by the termination of the temporary pools, unless some arrangement to the contrary is made. A meeting upon the subject will probably be held within a few days. In their annual report the Railway Commissioners of Massachusetts say upon the subject of Sunday trains, that only four in the Commonwealth are run with its sanction. The board has been asked to prevent the operation of some roads, or to prosecute the offending companies. The Commissioners have no power whatever to prevent the operation of Sunday trains, and believe that it is not their province to promote prosecutions. The Railroad Gazette gives a table of all recorded changes in the grain rate from Chicago to New York since March 1, 1864, nearly twentyone years. The highest rate, it appears, was $1.60 per 1,000 pounds. Jan. 1, 1865, and the lowest 10 cents. May 1, 1878. The Gazette closes its article by saying: “It is evident that there can bo no such reduction of rates hereafter. The charge having fallen from S3 to 25 cents, there is little room left for it to fall. Nowhere else on earth are rates so low, and whatever reduction in working expenses may be made hereafter, it cannot be made possible to reduce a charge of 25 cents by 58. 40. or even 25 cents ” In commentin': on the war now going on between the West Shore and the New York Central roads, the Philadelphia Press says: “The end is merely a question of time, and when it comes Mr. Vanderbilt’s capital will have crushed the less-favored company out of existence. The West Shore lost more than $3,500,000 last year, and did not pretend to do anything but pay current'expenses. Mr. Vanderbilt lias no doubt determined to make this case as desperate as possible, so that it may serve as a warning that his road cannot be paralleled with impunity. The contest may last a little longer, but the life blood of the smaller company has been flowing for some time.”

This, she alleges, has not been done, and she, therefore, asks a modification of the former decree of the court, so that she may have the custody of the boy. Her allegations are supported by very strong evidence, and the attitude of her former husband, in the case, is not at all creditable to him. For Throat Diseases and Coughs.
