AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and I>oc:l. Hugh MacMillan has beou appointed agent ©f til© Western Transit Company at Chicago, ♦ice T. B. Bond, resigned. John H. Lyon, late passenger agent of the X*ake Shore, has accented a similar position with the Chicago & Northwestern railway. The Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg Railroad Company has contracted with Sinker, Davis & Cos. to furnish them all the casting for the year 1885, except car wheels. Business with the express companies is 50 per eent heavier, it is stated, than i:i January. This is one of the best evidences that business generally is improving. C J. Grammer, general freight and passenger Agent of the Evansville & Terre Haute road, is lathecity. Mr. Grammer states that the E. 8s T- H. is now doing a fine freight business. II A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Transylvania lines west of Pittsburg, A. J. &mith, general passenger agent of the Bee-line system, and D. B. Martin, assistant general passenger agent, are expected in the city to day. The C-, 1., St. L.& C. handled on the main line, on Saturday last, 1,181 cars, of which numl>er 805 were loaded; on Sunday 1,298 cars, of which 917 were loaded. On Saturday forty trains passed over the road, on Sunday fortyfour trains. A good record. The Seneca outlet for the Chicago & Rock 13land road is proving a grand thing for them as Weil as for the C., t, St L. & C. Hundreds of car-loads of freight are daily moving to the seattoard via this route, which would now be blockaded at Chicago wero the C. & R. I. road’s only outlet eastward via Chicago. Sunday last Superintendent Sherwood pressed passenger engines and passenger crews into service to clear up the road of delayed freights. Passenger Conductor Tyre declined to go out with a freight train, and, as the result, yesterday forenoon when ho went to the Union Depot to take his regular train ho found another man there to take it out J. H. Devereux, president of the Bee-lino system, on Saturday afternoon, learning that Superintendents Ewan and Burrows proposed to make Bnnday a gen oral clearing-up day, pressing all passenger as well as freight crews into service, telegraphed both superintendents to run only trains cf live stock and perishable goods, and give the train men Sunday us a day of rest. It is said that what can be done to put a stop to ticket scalping is to be one of the questions for discussion at the meeting of general passenger agents in Louisville to-morrow. If anything Is done in the matter, scalping by local passenger agents, as well as by the legitimate scalper, Jthould be stepped on. Some of the outside ticket offices are daily underselling scalpers at ilndianapolis. It seems that some of the local passenger Agents are not aware of the fact that a* $lO pound trip to the New Orleans exposition, good for forty days, is a cut of $7 per ticket below Agreed rates. One agent sold fifteen tickets at sl6 per head to a party who went to New Orleans iast nieht. Had an open-handed scalper done this there would have Seen a general howl all along the line. Wm. A assistant general freight and passenger agent. Chicago & West Michigan railroad, and M. W. Rose, general agent of the Michigan Lumber Transportation Company, operating over the Chicago & West Michigan, liouiaville, New Albany & Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago railways, and connecting lines, were in the city yesterday, and Accompanied the Lumbermen's Association to Mttskegeon, Mich. J. H. Devereux; president of the Bee-line system, returned from New York a day or two since. While he was East the stock of their xwftd advanced three points, and there are those -who believe that a considerable advance is in prospect for C . C., 0. & I. stock. However, there is but little of it on the market, nor will there likely be until it reaches double the present figures, so confident are the large holders of the stock that the Bee-line system has a grand some eat to it Should the Erie fail to meet its obligations to the Now York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, it stands in danger of losing its St. Loui3 aud Cincinnati connection. If it rails to pay the vouchers due the fast freight lines, it will lose its business in that direction, as well and that is about all there is in the rumor that President Jewett, of the Chicago & Atlantic, and the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton will cut loose from the Erie and operate bis roads in connection with the Vanderbilt system, in revenge for being compelled to resign the presidency of the Erie. President King’s retrenchment policy is already beginning to bear good fruit. Since he took charge of the property the floating debt has been jwid to the extent of $1,409,090; the company has in bank between SIIOO.OOO and $400,000; the March interests will be paid in full, it is said, and offers to loan money to the company on securities in its treasury' have been declined on the ground that the company' had no immediate need of funds. The Erie statement for December, 1884. shows: Operating expenses. 77.6 per cent, of the gross, against 87.5 per cent in 1888. For the last three months of 1884 the operating expenses were 71 4 percent, of the gross, against 72.3 per cent, in 1883. Assistant General Passenger Agent Boyd of the Pennsylvania road, denies to a Philadelphia Press reporter the constant rumors of serious cuts in east-bound passenger rates from Chicago to St. Louis. Passenger Agent Boyd said: “There has been no cut authorized, nor, so far I know, is any contemplated. For a month or two past rates have been very unsettled, and in case of theatrical and like parties it is possible that slight departures from established figures have been made, and perhaps the rumors have been based on such occui rences. Such reductions must have been exceedingly' slight aud of no appreciable influence. There is no more probability of a cut now than there was two months ago. Rates will probably remain somewhat unsettled until the differences between the trank lines are settled.” Complimentary Mention. In these times of almost universal complaint of corporate mismanagement and dishonesty, jbajs the Boston Commercial Bulletin, it is refreshing to bo able to point to a corporation that is managed honestly and for the benefit of the stockholders. We refer to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad Company, the stock and bonds of which are very largely owned in Boston. By the figures recently published we notice that during the six months ending Dec. 31. 1884. a reduction of nearly SBOO,OOO has been made in the floating indebtedness of the company, and wb understand that negotiations are now in progress that will still further reduce the float ing liabilities and perhaps extinguish them, The reduction mentioned has been accomplished byusing the net earnings and the proceeds of sales of the first consolidated mortgage bonds which were issued last summer for that purpose. The president of the company’, Mr. Horace H. Stevens, of this city, is well known. He has the confidence of the large stockholders, and under his management the first mortgage bonds of the company have advanced from 95 to 108. Trunk-Line Pool Matters. A Western railroad official, who keeps well posted in trunk line pool matters, says the pool is in statu quo Just now rates nr© better maintained than at any time for several months, and there is no complaint of cutting anywhere. ’•Tie managers think that under these circumstances it is a great deal better to let well enough alor.e, and wait till the troublo breaks Again before, taking any de—iive action. Mr. Fink says he is ali worn ont with the pool squabMing, especially' as he has been at work for thirty five years without a rest. About 60 of hr? 320 clerks have been discharged, but probably Deputy Commissioner Guildford will continue in charge of the pool office. Roads are seeking an opportunity to advance rates, and this is especially true of the Western roads, which have discontinued fighting aud are now in entire harmony, for the time being, at least. However, railway managements no longer look forward to a peaceable settlement of the troubles that are sure to come with the withdrawal of the Chicago 8r Grand Trnnk road from the pool. Nor are they anticipating any act that. au! causa that line to withdraw Its

notice or allow itself to remain In the pool. The New York Times says: “There is hardly a chance that the trunk line pool can be maintained; bat if no device can be found to take its place for the purpose of maintaing uniform through rates, the only alternative seems to be a competition which can only' reeult the destruction of the weaker lines, or their ultimate control by the stronger.” In Indianapolis railroad circles, to sum it all up, the refusal to accept Mr. Fink's resignation is regarded as a mere matter of form for the maintenance of a nucleus about which the roads may gather, when the war. which is inevitable, has been fought out. In the meantime he retires from the conduct of the pool affairs, and takes an indefinite vacation, which means that he is gracefully backing out of his position, being satisfied that pools of the character of the trunk line pool are a failure. The Mistake New Apparent. For months past it has been quite evident that many of the roads were carrying the “economy" hobby to extremes, discharging men where it was unwise so to do, more especially in their shops, and, as a result, their power, when traffic begins to boom, is inadequate to handle the business. Now there is a general increase in business, and the condition of the engines on the Wabash, the Bee-line, the I. & St. L., and several other Indiana and Illinois roads which might be named, proves the correctness of such position, and sustains the remark, some time since made, that working only a corporal’s guard in shops where there should be 100 to 150 men employed would, in the end, prove to be bad policy and expensive to the company. It is stated that 30 per cent, of the Bee-line and 1., & St. L. locomotives, and 40 per cent, of those of the Wabash would by a master mechanic of the Vandalia or Pennsylvania lines be considered excellent subjects for the hospital. It costs just as much to pay a train crew which goes over the road with an engine which wili haul but twenty loaded cars as were the engine in order and able to haul thirty cars. The C., I-, St. L. & C. and the Y'andalia set excellent examples in this reepect. Saturday seventy-seven of the seventy-nine engines owned by the Big Four were in shape to do full service, and the Vandalia, of their large locomotive equipment, have but three engines in the shop, and two of these are in the process of remodeling. Miscellaneous Notes. Work on the Kansas City, Clinton & Springfield is reported to be progressing rapidly. An engine with six driving-wheels and weighing 109.600 pounds has recently been turned out of the Lehigh Valley shops at Hazleton, Pa. The Mann boudoir cars are pronounced a decided success on the roads between Cincinnati and New Orleans, and tlie former city and Jacksonville, Fla. “Embarrass” is the name of anew station on the Lake Shore & Western. A good many roads have reached that station within a year, and some have stopped there. • A monster locomotive, resting on eight driving wheels, is en route for California, and attracts the attention of railroad men. This engine weighs fifty-five tons, and is furnished with a pneumatic attachment from the rear of the tank to the driversby which, when it is found necessary, the entire weight is placed on the drivers and the slipping of the wheels then becomes almost impossible. It was built by the Rhode Island Locomotive Works. Connecticut is in her annual squabble over the Southern road. It is proposed to modify the general railroad law, as was done in Massachusetts two or three years ago. so as to require the judgment of the Railroad Commissioners that an exigency for a railroad exists before the corporators can take out a charter. This is a necessary and reasonable safeguard, but in Connecticut it is interpreted as a move of “the old road” to strangle “the parallel,” and the old fight - wages in all its intensity. The rumored contract between the Richmond & Danville and Pennsylvania railroad companies. making the Fatter the exclusive connection of ttie Southern road north of Washington, for freight as well as passenger traffic, seems premature. The tendency of the Southern transportation lines —heretofore constituted part- , ly water and partly rail—toward the establishment and maintenance of all-rail routes to the i North is growing stronger, however, and such an arrangement as that indicated above eeems highly probable. The Philadelphia & Readtng Railroad Company. in keeping with its policy of retrenchment, has commenced a reduction in the force employed in the road way department Tho new chief engineer is making a tour of the entire line. Sections have been lengthened, and the force reduced at the same time, doing away with from seven to ten men on each section. The dropping out of a few of the chief engineers would be much more profitable to the company, however, than the reduction of one-dollar-a day section men. A fi eight car on the Boston & Providence railroad has been equipped with the Turner-Beard automatic momentum brake, and the tests which are being mnde in the yards of that railroad in Boston are attracting the attention of railroad men. Mr. Turner, the inventor, is a practical locomotive engineer and machinist, and has been quietly working up his invention by experimenting with it in actual use, until now ; he feels that it is a complete success, and will do all that can be expected of any automatic brake, aud more than is done by any other.

Judgo Lamb, receiver of Harrison’s bank, despairs of being able to clear up the affairs of that institution for a great many months, and says until the litigation now in progress over the property of the members of the late firm is entirely settled there can be no idea formed of the probability of a divideud. In order to pay a divideud of even 5 per cent, on the liabilities of the concern, which amount to $600,000, $30,000 in cash must be collected, and it is not at all probable that this amount will ever bo realized from the assets in sight. It is said to the credit of Mrs. John C. S. Harrison, that she has paid over SIO,OOO to the most needy of the depositors of the bank since its failure, the money having been raised by the sale of some of her personal effects, and which she was under no obligation, legal or otherwise to do. Given Time to Moralize. William Woods, the gay lothario from Columbus, who was arrested on Saturday at the instance of Eli D. Minor, whose better half he had appropriated, was fined $25 by Mayor McMaster yesterday, and given thirty days in jail, the limit allowed by law. Woods and Mrs. Minor had been living together as man and wife at the residence of J. B. Mont acne. No. 84 Huron street, for several days. Nothing has been learned concerning Mrs. Minor’s whereabouts. Thb removal of Prof. Sanhorn. of 24 H., after being pronounced incurable by a score of physicians, from Las Vegan, N. M., to Ins home, was effected by administering Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic, which has restored him to hie former good health.

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION. William Donahue Puts Some Very Pointed luterrogatories at John C. Shoemaker. William Donahue, who figured recently as one of the defendants in the libel suit of ex-Judge James E. Heller against the Sentinel, has broken into the courts again, this time in a diametrically opposite capacity, his late defendants, John C. Shoemaker and the Sentinel Company, being the persons against whom his present complaint is directed. The papers were filed in 'Squire Feiblemin’s court yesterday forenoon, and are made especially interesting by reason of certain questions propounded by the plaintiff. Donahue claims to have been, until recently, in the employ of the Sentinel Company, and his claim is for S2OO said to be due for his alleged services in obtaining for the defendants the contract for doing tho Johnson county printing, and furnishing its stationery. Adopting the policy of Colonel Shoemaker in thei’ecent Blaine libel suit, the able Donahue put very promptly the following interrogatories: “Mr. Shoemaker, do you not know that you procured me to surreptitiously obtain the bids of one Wm. B. Burford for the work in question, and that you examined the said bids and made your own accordingly, and that the. bids of the said Burford were then returned in the same manner in which they were obtained? “Do you not further know that 1 was, at the time alluded to, in the employ of the Sentinel Company?’’ Mr. Shoemaker filed a rejoinder to the effect that he had no recollection of the occurrences referred to, and that he does not remember whether or not Donahue w-as at the time in tho employ of the Sentinel Company.
