AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. V. A. ILewis, general manager of the Erio HUM, has gene to New York. MtfPhe annual meeting of tho stockholders of the I, N. A. & C. is called for March 1L I A reorganization of tho freight department of kite G., 1., St. L. & C. is under consideration. I Earnings for the second week in Jauuary comLre unfavorably with those of the first week. H. C. Diehl, general freight agent of the L, B. & W., left for New York last evening to attend line meetings. Trains from the north were all late yesterday, cold weather and snow blowing onto the track causing the delay. The Pennsylvania railroad is making experiments at its shops at Altoona on electric lights tor its passenger cars. J. H. Long, assistant general freight-agent of the Chicago & Rock Island road, was in the city yesterday on official business. The earnings of the Wabash system in the weeks they fall short in comparative statements are announced via London, Eng. Mii William K. Vanderbilt will start for New Orleans this week to visit the exposition, occupying William IL Vanderbilt's private car for the trip. Secretary French, of the association of general freight agents of the West, Ims issued a call for a meeting to be held at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 7 p. m. A superstitious railway man expresses the opttrion that Were Commissioner Fink to select other than Friday for the day of thG meeting of the trunk line presidents the trunk-line pool would have less ill-luck. F. W. Richardson, of Troy, N. Y., has made artangements with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to usd his balailce-valvo as a standard •IMet-valve for all its locomotives. The valve Wib bo put upon the engtnes of the road as fast as it can be applied. W. H. Conner, of Attica, for many years connected with the Wabash road in different capacities, has been appointed by Superintendent Stevens as assistant roadmaster, or supervisor of trtrks, between Peru, Ind., and Tilton, 111., including the Covington branch. The general freight agents of several Western roads are now worrying their brains to devise satoe method of securing money to pay off promised rebates. The extent to which this plan of cutting rates has been carried is daily becoming more apparent aud troublesome to settle. Irt the first twenty-five days of January, the mail trains missed connections at this point a larger number of times than in the entire winter mouths of 1884; From this some idea of the trouble the snow and cold weather has given them may be formed. Whenever a mail train misses a connection the road is subjected to a SSO fine. West Shore line agents were yesterday openly offering the per 100 pound rate to the seaboard, with a rebate of#three cents per 100 pounds. The agents cannot tell, they Say, where the rebate money is to come from. *lt certainly cannot come from the West Shore road, as the management have much trouble to meet operating expenses. Isaac W. Morrow has sued the Pennsylvania Company for $50,000. on account of being crippled for life-by a collision. He was a conductor, **d was given the right of the road by the division superintendent. Therefore he claims that the company's negligence takes him out of the fth> applicable to the assumption by employes ordinary risks. It is predicted that should the present rate dcmorilization continue long there will not be a single line V-tween the West aud New York, wi;h tho probable exception of the Pennsylvania, tfc*V will be able to pay its next dividend, as tiwy are not only suffering from the war on Frright and passenger rates, hut also from the extremely bad weather that has prevailed since •"Jar. November. The trustees of the second mortgage bonds of Indianapolis. Decatur & Springfield are now I *’. ing at the Central Trust Company, New York, one-half of coupon No. 11, due Jan. 1, attached to the second mortgage bonds of vaid •'Ompany, being $17. 56 oft each bond. On pw* tie’n of the bonds said coupon will thereto be stamped “half paid.” This payment will equalize to cash payment the bonds which hot been exchanged or converted with ifctio heretofore exohangod, Snuel Stevenson, president of the Western of General Passenger and Ticket rAx*nts, has issned the following call: “The next feannual meeting of this : association will be held at *tb® Galt House, Louisville, Ky,, Wednesday, 11, at 11 o'clock a. m. Election of officers fm ensuing year and’ other important matters vriU c*>ae before the association at- this meeting. An effort will be made to revise the basing rateBheet compiled by Mi 1 . King, and you are requested to have your rate clerks present with •orb changes as you have tb offer.” February 1, other changes, looking to a further reduction of operating the freight department of the Wabash have been ordered. Some time since the road supported fbur division freight agents in the State of Illinois. Recently ttdsr number was reduced to three, viz.: W. S. Spiers, Peoria; S. B. Knight, Decatur, and H. D, Ctmia, Springfield. The latest order cuts off one of these agencies and redistricts it so as to leave sUI the lines within the Statemnder the charge of Messrs. Gould and Knight. Mr. Gould’s headquarters will hereafter be at> Peoria. Mr. Spiers, who is left out in the cold, only a few months, since declined the position of commissioner of Ibe ludianapqUs oast-bound pool.

A Wabash Train Roughly Used. Charles Carnahan, the popular conductor of the Wabash railroad, did a little deed on Friday ©reiiing last, says the Lafayette Journal, that t*Ul make everyp no who lias had occasion to SraTfd over that line have a feojing of real gratiinoe toward him. The was as follows: A passenger got on the train at a point east of the tail who held a pass oyer the road. His pass w a genuine one, and as a matter of course the conductor honored it and passed* on. Behind aim, however, came sneaking along one of those beautiful and convenient inventions by which the managers of that road are accustomed to worry the poor passenger and make, him wish the whole Wabash system was in Jerico or some Other, place as warm, and which makes him de dare that he will never take another trip over, that line if he has to walk to his destination. This fellow evidently thought that his only chance of holding his place was to make the conductors of the road to appear as thieves and swindlers, and. so, when the pass was ©resented to him, he refused to honor it and compelled the, passenger to .pay the cash for his trip. Asa ipatfer or coiffse. this angered the conductor, and when the hotel was reached at Dannlle he took the aeent to one side and gave him © little piece of his mind. In reply to some of his remarks the agent called him a liar. That sas all that was necessary, and the fun commenced. In about a second the agent saw more !ars than he could count hi tlio milky way with e double acting telescope. The iratp * “cop” wiped up the floor witri him, pounded him, "bruised him, and made him think he had been, stepped on by an elephant When he got up be ’©olted as folorn as a bald-headed bachelor ois first lesson in roller skating. After he was Hir.e4 of playing foot ball with theagent, Charley wqqt to tfye <ieppt and. telegraphed bis resignation to Superinbenjlent Stevens- With a little ooaxing he rapJiis train through, that trip, but then quit until that happy time when road agents’" and * 'detectives” shall be things of the t *st _ *

•Setter Times in Prospect for Locomotives Works, Uis worthy of note that the prospects for lo- < emotive works .are brightening. There are only locomotive building shops in this ountry, and in these shops, as near as can be learned, she total number of locomotives built ip was 1,271, about WO of which iyere for exportation. The roost trustworthy figures show that tJore are 29,227 locomotives of all kinds belong•ng to railroads in North America. As the life of a locomotive is twenty-five years, about 1,109 ocomqtive# must be constructed eyery year to •■■intaia the stock. The large number of heavy •

engines built last year would indicate that they were growing in favor. A ten-wheel engine seems to bo liked beet on a heavy freight road. Almost every railroad has its peculiar style of locomotives. The Hew York, Lake Erie & Western railroad uses for freight trains a long, low. black, ten-wheel engine, which is very powerful. The Pennsylvania road does not care so much for the number of wheels as for their size, aud it has them made as large as possible. Last year was rather a poor one for progress in new and experimental lines in locomotive buildiug. Tho railroads have bought new machines only as actually needed, and have shown little disposition to depart from the standards of build to which they were accustomed. Where the Passenger Conductor May Be Benefited. In a social talk with a conductor, a few days since, he dropped the remark that he was docked $6.75 on the December pay-roll for carrying a passenger on a coupon ticket wbicb was not properly worded. He then added that with the utmost care it was very difficult for any passenger conductor to get through a month without losing money by some mistake of this character. He said it would seem that the general passenger agents, as sharp fellows as they are, could hit upon some plan by which there could he more uniformity in tickets, aud less liability to mistakes; and we coincide with this passenger conductor and ask. that the general passenger and. ticket agents at their next semi-annual Meeting take this subject up. Standard time and uniform signals have been adopted by most railroad managements with very satisfactory results. Would it not be well for the passenger departments to consider the propriety of adopting a uniform coupon ticket? For instance, let three colors represent the three classes, first, second and third, or emigrant. Let first class be printed on white, second class on buff, and third class on drab, or any colors so they may be readily distinguished—the class by the color. By this means a conductor would be able to determine the class of his passenger at a glance, instead of looking the ticket all over to ascertain the class. Again, suppose the face of all first, second and third-class tickets were exactly the same, with such variations as were neeessary by reason of the different classes, and that the initials of the different roads on the several coupons were in typo as large as that showing the station from and to. A conductor would know exactly where to look for the information he wanted to find on the ticket Under the present system the conductor will handle each trip from ten to twenty different kinds of coupons which are so vastly different that he has to look the ticket all over before he can determine whether it is good for passage or not It is certainly due to passenger conductors that they have alfthe aid practical in this direction.

Ability Recognized. General H. S. Huidekoper, who has been West for a day or two, looking after matters connected with the Western Car Company, in which he is interested, returned to Philadelphia last evening. The General, as ho certainly has reason for, feels complimented that he has been reappointed postmaster at Philadelphia, Pa. The Philadelphia Times, a Democratic paper, says: “It has been General Huidekoper’s special merit that he has. as far as possible, eliminated politics from the work of the postoffice here, so that the organization is not ih need Os any general disturbance, even from a Democratic point of view, while Mr. Cleveland will have trouble to find a Democrat to put at the head of it who can conduct the office With arf much fidelity to the government and satisfaction to the public as General Huidekoper lids done.” Miscellaneous Notes; West Shore has made arrangements for a rail and lake line with the Anchor line. Buffalo to Chicago, also for a Lake Superior rail and lake line with the Lake Superior Transit Company; also secured through connection with the Baltimore <fc Ohio system, via Rochester and the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia, by which they can reach every point on the Baltimore & Ohio.

The demoralized condition of steerage rates on the continental steanrerfc seems' in no way to be nearing a Settlement. The lines are all selling tickets at what they term “starvation rates/’ and declare they will go no lower. Carr’s line to Hamburg is said to have sold tickets for $4.50, but this is denied by the company, Who declare they receive $6 net for every passenger taken. > The Boston Journal says that with a deficiency of more than $1,060,000 tho past two years, there is great doubt as to the ability of the New York <fe New England to pull through its difficulty without a foreclosure. To meet this, should the occasion arise, a bill is to be introduced in the Legislature which will allow the -second mortgage bondholders to reorganize the road, if necessary. The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says outside of New England railroad interests were never more depressed. Competition is running tto that degree of extravagance that the soundest investments are imperiled. There is no confidence in trunk-line properties that were once l thought safe. Congress adds to tho distrust by a policy of legislation whose limits nobody can foresee, and which is hostile in its animus, though not without provocation, Governor Hubbard, of Minnesota, makes this! complaiut to the Legislature of that State:“While prices of grain have declined to a point that affords no profit* to the'farmer under the most favorable .conditions fbr marketing hisi crops, the charges for transportation prevailing; in former, years-have been-, substantially maintained,’*' But a bushel of weighs just as> much whetheivit aells for 40 cents or $1 a bushel. Transportation is not a matter of value of the: freight (unless-it i* so valuable as to require to, be.carried in a safe), but of its weight. The statement of the operations of the Balti-. more Ohio Railroad Employes’ Relief Association, foj* the. year, ending lipc. 31, has just tjeen, issued. The fetaiement gives a list of all the, members receiving benefits, the character of the. injuries sustained, the diseases from which they' suffered, tjie amount of. benefit paid, and the, duration of the time of sickness. The recapitulation shows that there were. 924 cases adjusted* by the association. Tthese were divided as folfows: Transportation department, M. S., 166; machinery 22G; road department, 128; transohio division, 211$ Fitisburg division, 00; physic iaus’ bills, 133.

A New Question Ruled On. In the case of David D. Long vs. Crittenden A. Cox and others, Judge Walker, of the Superior Court, yesterday, made a ruling on a point touching which there is no statutory provision, and ip which there has never been a ruling by the Supremo Court—of this State at least Tbq suit involved the question of aq assignee's right to brio £| suit on behalf of certain "creditors against the assignor, on which Judge Walker ruled in the negative. Some time ago Crittenden A. Cox, finding himself apparently hopelessly involved, confessed judgment in the Superior Court in favor of George S. Carriugton, Julius W. Hinkley, N, A. Hyde, and others, for an arqount pearly equal tp tlje value of his assets, and made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Some qf t£e oredi to#—Eastern dealers—<psapproved of this action, and at their instance the first assignee was displaced and Daniel D. Lonj appointed to administer the trust. Lopg filed q suit asking thpt the judgments taken on confession by Carrington, Hinkloy and others, be declared, vacated, and to this they filed ad e murrer, qn the ground that an assignee cpuld not legally bring such an action, Judge Walker’s ruling was on the demurrer, which he sustained. It is understood that the case will be appealed. Danger Ahead. There is danger ahead for you if you neglect the warnings which nature is giving you"of the approach at the fell destroyer—consumption.

Methodist Preachers’ Meeting. The Mdlhodist ministers met, as usual, terday. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. J. A. Ward, of California-street. Under the head of miscellaneous business it was resolved that an occasional medting of the evangelical ministers of the city meets with approval. Drs. Alabaster and Marine were appointed a committee to represent the Mothodist Preachers’ Meeting. At this point the order of the day was taken up, viz.: “Rented Pews vs. free Seats.” Dr. Marine opened tht discussion. He seemed to think that the chief benefit of pew renting was its financial features. The chief objection was that it savored of exclusiveness. There are other things that tend to exclusiveness quite as much as the system in question; different localities require different systems. M. L. Wells thought that the day of chromos to sinners who come to church is passed, and instead of the sinner conferring a favor on the church, the world should understand that the church is the party doing the favor. Dr. Alabaster explained the peW-tonting system as in vogue in Meridian street Church. The theme for the meeting two weeks from yesterday is “English Occupation of Egypt—Historical, Moral, and Its National Bearing.” Water Maids fbt the Insaud Hospital. Said a gentleman to the reporter: “I see the viator company is trying to get the Legislature to appropriate money to pay for the laying of mains from this city to the Hospital for the Insane. There is a well, and hose and other appliances at the hospital which are well enough in their way but are not sufficient protection for a large fire. We want no horror like that of the burning of seventeen poor creatures at the insane hospital at Kankakee. That tragedy shows that domestic water arrangements are insufficient. It also frequently happens that the fire gets in such a place that it is impossible to properly handle such arrangements. At our hospital here we nave over 1,700 lives. It will probable cost $20,000 to lay these pipes from the city to our hospital. The lives of tho patients and attendants are certainly worth that much, and increased protection is loudly demanded. We cannot afford to take chances of a horror like that at the Illinois asylum.”

The New St. Vineent Hospital. The impression given out that the old Ray House property is to be used as it is, or, after being slightly remodeled, for the St. Vincent Hospital, is not in accord with facts. It is the intention to erect anew hospital building on the. Ray House site, one that the city will be proud of, supplied with all the modern hospital and sanitary appliances and conveniences. Asa raindrop foretells a storm, so does a pimple upon the human body indicate health-destroy-ing virus in the blood, which can be neutralized and expelled only by Dr. Harter’s Iron tonic.
