AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The regular monthly meeting of the Chicago & Ohio river pool will bo held in Chicago, on "Wednesday next. FI. M. Bronson, general passenger agent of lihe I, B A: W. system, is cou lined at home ♦uoseliug with neuralgia. It is noticeable that whore railroads are not affected by competition, traffic is increasing and warnings foot up quite satisfactorily. Commissioner Doherty, of the East-bound pool, who has been somewhat ill for a couplo of days, was much better last evening. Jbi. W. Burns, who has been a freight conductor on the 1., P. & C. division of the Wabash pjstem for some sixteen years, is Beriously ill. Mr. E. C. Harris is appointed chief train disjiatcher of the Owensboro St Nashville road, vice W. <i Sutherland, resigned. The appointment ta .es effect to-day. Anew station has been established at Bruce Lake. on the Terre Ilaute & Logansport division, five miles north of Kewanna, and B. JStainm has been appointed agent. * Some local passenger agent was yesterday offering to sell tickets by a route known as the Tuscola route, to New Orleans, at $17.50 for the round trip, good to return within forty days. J. R. Hixson, formerly New England agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, with headquarters at Boston, has been appointed eastern freight ageut of tho same road, with office in Now York. The roads leading east from Peoria which dropped two cents per 100 pounds on tho eastbound freight rates below the Chicago basis, have restored the rates out of Peoria to 22 cents per 100 pounds. A questionable rumor is current that H. J. < Jewett, president of the Chicago & Atlantic oad. is to resign and that the general offices of thin as well as of the N. Y., P. <fc O. road are to he removed to New York city. The friends of George Darling, manager of the "White Line, headquarters Rochester, N. Y., will •egret to learn that he a day or two since buried his amiable and highly respected wife, who quite recently visited friends in Indianapolis. West Shore fast-freight line agents, it is stated, guarantee an 18 cent per 100 pounds rate from Indianapolis to the seaboard, with a 3 cent p#r 100 pounds rebate, until July, 1885. Shippers who are posted do not catch ou well with this bait _ Bteamship agents in the West are doing a large business in emigration tickets since the cut in emigrant rates, and great stimulus is given to prepare for a heavy emigration traffic; tickets good for one yeor from date of purchase are a feature. The resignation of Charley Carnahan, the Wabash passenger conductor who handled the train agent so roughly, was not accepted by Superintendent Stevens. Charley has been on tho road tome twenty years, and would not punish a man unless he deserved it. George C. Gilfillan, formerly general passenger agent of the lowa Central railway, but now assistant city ticket agent of the Omaha company at Minneapolis, was Saturday last the recipient of a handsome silver tea set from his late associates, the coupon ticket agents of the Central. Paymaster Sheldon, of the Bee-line system, Sb paying on the I. & St. L. division this month, experimenting with the new method of lumling the pay car on local passenger trains, employes to be at stations when the train arrives*. Should this method of paying off prove Batisfactory, it will be adopted on the whole Beeline ay a Urn.

It M stated'that Franklin B. Gowen will be reConnection wiUklh# Philadelphia iV; 3Oon ** *• lias art * ided to him un Acor aw agreement with the old boara of the company. The controlling inflmniic of the new board is not favorable to a continuance xtg his relations with the management Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash system, commenced to pay on tho Indianapolis division yesterday, but at last accoents the pay-car trat* was behind the regular passenger train. **Md in a snow-drift near Arcadia. Mr. Shepherd has adopted anew plan, paying at all large jtatmis, like Indianapolis, by checks on the agent. This greatly lessens the liability that the pay-car will be robbed or mistakes made. Commissioner Richardson, of the Chicago and Ot 10 River pool, came through from Chicago yesterday over the C., 1., St. L. & C., arriving some five hours late. He states that the fall of snow between Colfax, Ind., and Chicago was much heavier than south of Colfax, averaging folly twelvo inches on the level, and in many places it drifted badly. There were a large number of passengers on the train en route for the south most of whom stopped over at Indianapolis and will proceed ou their journey this morning. George C. Pyle, chief electrician of the American Electric Hoad-light Company and inventor of the locomotive electric lamp, arrived in tho citv yesterday. In the afternoon ho placed the latest and most improved lamp on engine 400, CL, St.. L. &P. road. The engiue leaves to-day 10:45, returning to-night with the New York express. Lights under the Pylo patents will bo slaced5 laced on several Indianapolis roads at once. Ir. Pyle seems confident that the light is now jbo perfect in every respect that it can be relied upon at all times and is really just as reliable as the ordinary locomotive head light. There are many complaints by the traveling public about the system recently adopted by the Wabash, of having both a conductor and a train •gout on the same train, passengers say that under this system they are annoyed sd much as to make traveling unpleasant over this road. When told that the system is necessary to keep the conductor honest, he will tell you that other roads don’t have to resort to such precautions. There has been such a strong protest against this outrage on conductors and passengers that it is jiossible it will be discontinued, especially as tho rash receipts have shown no increase since the conductors have had a guardian appointed. J. D. Campbell, of New York, general solicitor of the 1., B. fe W., is in the city. Mr. Campbell reports the company passing through the depressed times unexpectedly smoothly. The interest on their bonded debt has been met promptly, and the operating expenses as well. Fortunately for tho company, wise men fixed the plan of reorganization, and this has enabled the company to meet fixod charges and pay operating expenses without borrowing a dollar or the creating of a floating debt. Any person who is posted its to the condition of the property, and it* future prospects for business, must admit that the 1., B. & W. people will hardly strike another year so unfavorable to their making large earnings as was 1884. The Baltimore & Ohio road seems to be profiting out of tho squabbles between the trunk lines and indirectly it is helping certain connections ( the B. & O. to a largo grain traftio, the C., L, St. L. &C. being one of the number. A Baltimore paper says: Shippers and receivers in tho Monumental City have profited by the competition, and by means of comparatively cheap freights have been able to contract for large lines of com in Nebraska and Kansas that will come forward and swell the volume of business at that port during the next six weeks. It is said that fully 8.000 cars are under contract for Baltimore delivery, and that export engagements are already made for 4,000.000 bushels to be shipped Vheooo during the next three months.

The Hub Lame in Its Terminal Facilities. A western railroad iuud who recently visited Boston, In commenting on that city's future. ild they were lame in their railroad terminal Tacilities, and he could not understand why tome of the capital which had been thrown away in the building of such railroads west as the Toledo. Cincinnati & St. Louis, the Oono ton Valley, and a dozen more which might d> named, instead of investing it right at home, thereby increasing their rail traffic, and export business as well. This export business he thought could lie largely increased wit hout any enormous outlay of money; but now the cost of handling was too great From Chicago to Boston by the Boston & Albany railroad and the Vanderbilt lines the distance is 1,040 miles. From Chicago to New Yorl* via the Vanderbilt lines is 9HO miles, but when grain has reached ftoston it is a day's sail nearer Liverpool than woou it is in New York. The distance from

Boston to Chicago by the Fitchburg and West Shore roads and their western connections is about 1.060 miles, the connections being the Great Western Division of the Grand Trunk, and tho Chicago & Grand Trunk railways. The Fitchburg also has two other Western feeders in the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, and the Erie railroads, by the latter of which it receives freight from Chicago, and from St Louis via the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific. Boston had advantages, he thought which they were overlooking “To be sure,” he said, “their experience with the New Yorfc & New England roau had been rather an expensive one; yet, this experience should teach them a lesson. Had the property been carried over the road at tariff rates, the results would have been entirely satisfactory. The work was undertaken at an unfortunate time. With rates maintained, the Boston & Albany, the Fitchburg, and tho New York and Now England could derive a handsome revenue from through business, and with proper terminal facilities could double their export business.” _ Should Be Encouraged In Every Way* The Union Railway Company has proceeded toward the erection of anew union depot as far as possible without State legislation. There is not a block of ground of sufficient size to erect the building proposed upon, and the Legislature must take such action at will permit of the vacation of certain streets, and further legislation is needed that the company may be enabled to acquire property and issue" bonds to raise funds needed to make the improvements. There is not a member of the Legislature, not a tax-payer in the State, and not a business man* in the city who is not directly interested in the carrying out of the proposed improvements. Indianapolis to-day stands first among the inland cities in numbers of roads, and second in the country in this respect, Chicago only having more railways centering there. Every citizen in the State should be more or less interested in the erection of anew Union Depot at Indianapolis—which, with other necessary improvements, will cost over sl.ooo,ooo—and a building that Indianians may be proud of. Indianapolis, as a railroad center, is noted not only in this, but in foreign countries as well, and no foreigner, or railroad capitalist, or traveler thinks he is fully informed on the railroads of this country before he has visited Indianapolis. The Union Railway Company propose to erect a. building which every Indianian will be proud of —which will be a credit to the company, an ornament to the city, and one of the finest buildings in the State, and the enterprise should be encouraged in every way possible. Heading. Off Competition* Notwithstanding recent denials in high places, it is daily becoming more evident that Vanderbilt is tired of his venture in railroading. In Pennsylvania the expense suras up to high figures. Work on the South Pennsylvania road, in which he issaid to have invested some $5,000,000, moves slow. Two or three of the contractors working upon the tunnels say there cannot possibly be any intention to complete the line at tho time fixed. The opinion that Mr. Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania have made a truce gains strength. The Pennsylvania aimed a deadly blow at Mr. Vanderbilt when it went into New England territory over the New York & New England railroad. Mr. Vanderbilt retaliated at the instigation of Mr. Gowen, by starting a competing line to Pittsburg. The Pittsburg Dispatch says: “The golden dreams of Mr. Vanderbilt gradually faded, and recently he has listened to the proposition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company that they would get out of New England if he would get out of Pennsylvania. This subject is now under consideration, and instructions hare been issued in the meantime to go slow on the South Pennsylvania. Dr. Hostetter and Mr. Harry Oliver, of Pittsburg, the heaviest investors after Mr. Vanderbilt, will after a while look to the Pennsylvania road for reimbursement.”

T?unk Line Federation a Failure. |grj i a> ■" la comwenting on the present trouble between the trunk lines “Brads treat’s’’ says; “In any event, trunk line federation, under its present conditions, does not work. Commissioner Fink, in a published interview, points to one means of making it successful He says: “I would propose legislation legalizing an association of railroads like the pool for establishing uniform ami reasonable tariffs, and legalizing act ion necessary to bring about the result desired. The association should be under government control. Govern meet commissioners should approve or disapprove of tariffs, and take measures to see that they are adhered to.” This goes to the root of the matter.” The Trank-Line Passenger Pool. Cincinnati, Jan. 27.—A meeting of the Trunk-line pool, called by Albert Fink, of New York was held at the Burnet House to day. Mr. S. F. Pierson, of New York, vice-president of the pool, occupied the chair. Nearly all the lines of the pool, comprising all the trunk lines east from Chicago and St. Louis to the seaboard, were represented. The time was wholly occupied in discussing commissions to passenger agents, and it was decided that a limitation should be made on the amount to be paid as such commissions. The meeting adjourned to meet at Louisville on Fob. 11, to take action on the matter in connection with tho Western and Southwestern passenger agents. Miscellaneous Notes. Only forty miles of railway were built in Kentucky last year. Monday last the Wisconsin Central road opened for business at St. Paul and Minneapolis. British railway stocks and shares have all advanced to almost prohibitive prices, owing to their steady absorption by investors.

The earnings of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway for the third week of January were $335,000, against $340,000 for the corresponding week last year, a decrease of SII,OOO. It is stated that the removal of the general offices of the New York, . Pennsylvania & Ohio road from Cleveland to New York city will cut down the operating expenses of the N. Y., P. & O. $50,000 per annum. By the pooling arrangement agreed to between the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania companies for the current year, the total tonnage from the Clearfield anil Cumberland regions is divided between the two companies in the proportion of 55 per cent, to the Pennsylvania railroad and 45 per cent, to the Baltimore & Ohio. The Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul has issued the following circular to conductors: “Passengers in sleeping cars who have retired for the night need not be awakened for the purpose of procuring tickets. When going through the sleeping cars in the morning you can then require the signature of the holders of such tickets. ” It seems the Grand Trunk is more anxious than any one else to h&Ve emigrant rates maintained. It must in time unfavorably affect their Portland traffic if continued. The New York Indicator says th'e Grand Trunk may now have an opportunity to find out how it is itself. Heretofore it has not troubled itself about the sensitiveness of other people’s corns. The Northern Pacific is making progress with its work on the Cascade branch, and doing it on both ends either side of the mountains. Track is now laid from Pasco Junction, eighty-eight miles, to threo miles beyond Yakima City. Grading is going on forty miles further to Elleiiburg. On the west side of the mountains track is laid twenty six miles from Taconla. an.l grading is now progressing twenty Tour miles further. The entire branch will extend 252 miles from the main line at PaSeo. It will be completed within two years.

Mies Marryat’s Entertainment. To-night, at Plymouth Church, Miss Florence Marryat will give an entertainment in the Indiauapolis Lecture Course. The lady is a versatile actress and an author. The entertainment will be a musical and dramatic monologue—“ Love Letters.” The English and American press unite in giving the highest praise to Miss Man yak A brilliant evening may bo expected.

Terre Haute etc. Railroad Company vs. McMurray. Elliott, J. —Petition for a rehearing overruled. Where a brakeman was injured on a railroad and the conductor was the highest representative of such railroad present, and there was an emergency requiring immediate action, he was authorized to employ a surgeon to give such attention as exigency required. The railroad is held liable to surgeon therefor. No. 10665. Hinkle et al. vs. Shelley. Howk, J.—Affirmed on defective assignment of error. No-10818. Enslinger vs. East et al. . Mitchell, J.—Affirmed. As no abuse of discreion is shown in granting continuance below, instructions attacked not properly in record, and for harmless error, see 07 Ind., p. 476. No. 10288. TJnion School Township vs. First National Bank of Crawford3ville. Elliott, J.—Reversed. The facts in this case show that the bank dealt with the township trustee as an individual, and not as a trustee. There were some notes executed to the bank, signed as trustee, to secure money for the township’s legitimate debts. These were invalid (73 Ind., 501; 75 Ind., 368), as a trustee cannot bind a school township by notes or other instru ments, unless the claims for which they were given existed. 8519. Thomas S.
