Ai’FAIBS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Y*rwotml ami Local. B. C. Vilas, freight traffic manager of the Erie j pyatem of toads, is to be in the city to-day. . John Browning, passenger conductor on the I*,. N. A. & CL Air line, who has been ill several! days, is out again. The earnings of the Wabash. St. Louis & Pa-! eifle railroad for the week ending Feb. 7 were: j IMS, S2U,SfW; 1884. $203,332; uncrease, $80,032. j George H. Gaston, formerly with the Van-) folia, has been appointed traveling passenger; ■gent of the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern ’ Mi Wm. C. 'Lyon, of Chicago, general manager of thel. & I. S. narrow gauge road, and R. W. iieiger, general freight agent of the J., AI. & L, are in the city. The Wabash road is obliged for the present to scare its Detroit trains enter the Chicago & 1- rnd Trunk depot at that point owing to the heavy ice blockade in the Detroit river. Gen. J. H. Devereux, Hon. Amos Townsend, Jattgo Btewmson Burke, (*eo. H. Ituneell ami Janes Barnett, who attended the I. & St. L. an- ! uaimesting yesterday, left last night for Cincinnati on a special train over the C., 1., St L.; AU The Louisville, Evansville & St.. Louis Air line preple who came to the city on Tuesday, expect-j mg'to meet Judge Gresham here, left yesterday noon for Chicago, the .Judge notifying them by tUlegrSfih tlmt it would be impossible for him to cone to'lndianapolis. The effects in the office of the Chicago, and Ohio River pool are being prepared for shipment to Chicago, Commissioner Richardson moving his office to that city one week sooner than he •nepacted. Six of the members of his clerical force go with him to Chicago. The snow blockade on all northern lines is Iff led, and by to ul ay trains will bo running as ward overall roads. Most of the superintendents tost evening ordered the full complement of freight trains put on, and indications are that Ik® worst for the season has beu passed. Moat of the fast-freight line agents have been instructed to take uo perishable freights for the! Bast, and ruako no promise as to when <they won hi get it. through, as there is both a anow. and a freight blockade on the northern lines folding to the seaboard. The trouble, however, la but temporary. ■’Commissioner .Doherty, of the Indianapblis aat bound pool has asked the local agents to matt at his office to morrow afternoon at 2uK) T. ai., ‘to further consider the establishing of a weighing association. The committee appointed a few weeks agtf to prepare a plan of organization are said to bo ready to report. The L., N. A. & C. trains are running over the Chicago & Atlantic road between AVilder’s and Chicago. Four engines and a couple of hundred men were yesterday engaged in clearing their track between Hammond and Wilder’s of snow. Superintendent Daun expected last might to bare their road opened through to Chicago this morning. The Chicago Inter Ocean says; “T. L. Lee, in ebargo of the ■ advertising department of the Burlington road, is to write the musical criticisms of tho Chisago Opera Festival, in April, for aril the leading railway guides. In order to educato himself more completely, he has joined Her Majesty’s Opera Company, and gone with it to San Francisco, where he will remain until April.” Superintendent McKenna, of the J., M. & 1., has renewed his efforts to secure from tho City Council of New Albany the right to lay a second traek within the city limits, and also to increase their yard room, as the improvements the Pennsylvania Company propose to make will greatly benefit the business interests of that citv. It is believed the City Council will take favorable action on the matter. Railway superintendents profited by their first experience with snow blockades, and this week, when meeting the same trouble, instead of sending out trains and roughly using locomotives in fighting snow, trains were abandoned all northern lines until the snow ceased to fall and to drift. Crews of several hundred men cost large sums of money and accomplish little, and ‘"double headers” burn lots of expensive coal. Meanwhile tho receipts are exceedingly light, as passengers do not caro to run tha risks of delays. It is semiofficially known that Thomas H. Vlieke. superintendent of the Pullman Palace Car Company, St. Louis division, will be promoted, on March 1, to the general superintend■anev of the Pacific division, with headquarters At ‘ Chicago. E. H. Goodman, of Philadelphia, will be promoted to the general superintendency of the Atlantic division, with headquarters at New York. C. A. Garcelon, Mr. Wkke’s assistant,'will ba appointed to take his place at St. Louis. George F. Brown, general superintendent of the company, will be made general manager.

Good Notts Regarding the I>., N. A. & C. kfrona a gentleman who held a lengthy eon vernation with William Dowd, the ncwly-elected president of tno 1,., N. A. &C. Railroad Company, in New York, quito recently, is learned that Mr. Dowd is quite enthusiastic over the future of this road. He says ho accepts the „presidenqy with the intention of bringing the road to the front. The holders of a large per cent, of the bonds and stock are ready to put needed money into the property to make it firstclass in its road-bed and equipments. The president’s eldest .son ar*ived in Chicago yesterday, and ns soon as General Manager Garson returns from the South the affairs of the convpanv will bo thoroughly investigated. All just claims against.the road-are to be settled without delay, and the thirty-five or more-wilts for damages in county courts along the line are to be compromised as best they can. President Dowd says it lathe purpose of the management to start the road off 4>n a clean record, with no rebates to pay, bo suits pending, and without a floating debt, and thereafter employes and all current expenses are t., be paid monthly and uimiptly; aud whilo they propose to use all legitimate means to increase their through business, rates are to be maintained and further, •forts are to he made to increase their local * traffic, “which has been somewhat neglected the lasi few years. A Gratifying Ktfhibit. ‘ The table of earnings published in the Financial Chronicle, of Feb. 14, for the month of January, certainly is of an encouraging dhar aetor. On 70 lines and 51.000 miles of road, nearly half the country, an advance of $825,000 in gross earnings, or 4 8 per cent on the total 1 After the fleselate drop in these warnings through 1884, down to November, it is highly gratifying to find the improvement in December continued in January, and reflected in enlarging* manufactures and widening sales. This im pfovemorrt is largest in the Northwestern group of roads, imes little and trg. winch wiH he raised furtlior by the next tidal wave than any other, because there is in progress the ’largest' and moat rapid addition to our crop *rea. The) advance islt>o apparent in the border Southern States, n region in which mineral industries one I being developed: and it appears pretty evenly over the rest of the country. The February showing, however, will be hardly as favorable, as fully are-)mtf the month, so far, snow block a Acs have seriously interfered with the traffic of al&xyp nrtmiber of roade. Ker Dining Cars an the Wabash. The Wabash are building, at their own shops, several dining cam One has been placed 4,n the main line this week. These curs, although M orte uonqdete in their arnrugesnents and nent in finish, eostouJy $7,000 apiece. The car is fifty jnree feet long, has twenty windows on each side, has ten tables, with -a seating capacity of i forty persons, and has eight center and four side lamps. The car is finished in black walnut on the inside, with paintings of scenes of hunting and fishing, more or less suggestive of something good to eni. The kitchen arrangements at cne end of the car are very complete. There is a large range, with baking and warming ovotis and flaees lor frying and broiling. There are rerigerators and cupboards. With cooking convenience and warming ovens, the provisions can be kept during a reasonable time; iu the rofriger-

ator they can be preserved until they come under the demand of the cook. The steps are arranged at both -ends of the car. so that they afford porches with railing all around. The Liooal Passenger Agents end Scalpers Lock Horns. The recent -action of the local passenger agents is creating quite a flutter among the half dozen ticket scalpers located at this point, and who have prospered through the aid which the locffl passenger gente have given them. Asa consequence, the scalpers are raak ing a desperate effort to demoralize matters again. However, should the local agents adhere to their agreement they have the scalpers -in a tight place. To illustrate, one scalper purchased from George Rech, local agent of the Vandal ia and its conncections, two tickets reading over the Vandalia, the Chicago & Alton and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, paying full rate for the same, expecting to receive a commission from the two last named roads on the tickets sold uifuer the agreement. George Rech, the regular agent, is entitled to said commission and will demand it; so will the scalper, and the matter is brought down to a fine point The question is, which will the Chicago & Alton and the A., T. & S. F., recognize—the regular ticket agent or the scalper? One ticket-broker is quoted as saying he will sink S3OO, but that he will break up the agreementbetween the passenger men. Yesterday, for instance, he sold four tickets to New Orleaus, reading over the C., 1., St. L. & C., and the Crescent & Queen City route, at $1 off rate, and he took special pains to let the J., M. & 1., and L. & N. passenger agents know that the tickets were sold. The general passenger agent saw through the scheme, and is more determined than ever to maintain the New Orleans rate, and the C,, 1., St. L. C. have pledged to do likewise. At any rate the situation is becoming interesting, as it is a pot fight between the local passenger agen ts and the scalpers. I. & St. h. Election. The stockholders of the Indianapolis & St Louis road met in the office of John T. Dye yesterday, and elected as directors for the ensuing year General J.iH. Devereux, Hon. Amos Townsend, James Barnett, George H. Russell, Judge S. Burke, E. B. Thomas and John T. Dye. With the exception of Bfr Dye, all are Cleveland men. The directors, all of whom were present except ,-E. B. Thomas, then elected General J. H. Devereux president, Stevenson Burke vice-president, George H. Russell secretary and treasurer. -Mr. Devereux states that the only improvement to be made to the I. & St L. the present year, besides maintaining the road-bed and equipment, would be the laying of twenty-seven miles of steel rail, weighing seventy pounds to the yard, and ballasting the portion of tho road through what is known as the American bottoms with broken stone. Within the past two years over $2,000,000 has been expended in improvement to the road-bed, which, with the exception of twen-ty-seven miles, is now laid with steel rails and ballasted with gravel to a depth of eighteen inches.

Miscellaneous Notes. The much-abused Lake Erie & Western road seems to be again getting its head above water. The earnings of the road for the first week in February were: 1885, $32,074; 1884, $18,449; increase, $13,025. The New York Dial says: “The reports that President King will resign from Erie are due to the alleged failure of the directors to furnish funds to meet the interest coming due. Over $3,000,000 is required to meet the car trust demands, and it is claimed that there isrno cash on hand to meet the obligation.” The system and working of the devices of the American Pneumatic Signal Company, of Boston, is described and illustrated in the Railroad Ga J zette of last week. These signals have been on* trial nearly three years on the Boston & Providence and one year on the Old Colony, and are pronounced efficient and economical. Notwithstanding tlio dull times the directors of both of the American railroads in Mexico are in a hopeful frame of mind. The 'floating debt of the Mexican Central Company is about funded, and the outlook for net traffic earnings during the comiug year is considered very good. Subsidy receipts also promise to be continuous. The New York Railroad Commissioners are investigating complaints of discomfort from the overheating and ill-ventilation of cars. The pipes under tho seats are objected to, and the commissioners have inquired why it might not be feasible and better to locate the pipes at the center of the floor. Tho commissioners have tackled a big question. Bad ventilation of conches often makes traveling by rail very unpleasant In commenting on the elephant that Massachusetts has upon its hands in the Hoosac tunnel, the Springfield Republiean says if there is one general principle which may be considered as established by the experience of the last thirty or forty years it is that private enterprise and private capital are sufficient for building all the new railroads that will he profitable property, that is to say, all that trade and public convenience require. George W. Ristine, general manager of the Atlantic & Pacific road, is in New York city, and confirms Uie report that this company has been making the shortest time .of any transcontinenal route upon through freight, and he says there is no truth in the report that the Texas & Parti fie has Withdrawn from ; the transcontinental pool. The local trnffic'alone amounted to $51,000 during December, und the through business is about twice as much. There has recently'been a large amount of extra talk regarding the Wisconsin -Central and its prospective line to Chicago. There are, however, no reasons for supposing that the Central willl attempt such a, move in the near future. First, because the rund would cost a larger money than it would be convenient for the companyto secure in the present deppyesecl condition ftf railroad property. Second, it would be difficult for the road to gain an entmnce-to Ohioago on Advantageous terms. The State-House Reserve fVticl. State Auditor Rice has delivered the opinion that tbe 10 per cent which is not to bo paid to the State-house contractors until the building is completed is not to be set aside as a special fund. This reserve now amounts to $111,850.70. He says the State-house Commissioners may draw every nt of it fur disbursement so long as they do not pay more than 90 per cent of the estimates. Mr. 'Gebol, one -of the State-house contractors, says that -for every dollar thus retained the contractors have to invest another dollar, -and he does not view with ancelie sweetness the manipulation of this money by State Treasurer Cooper to bis (Copper's) private profit He thinks if the money is making a per cent, the contractors ought to hnve'tlie benefit of the increase. iMr. Gobol, -however, is a simplemi rnled man, unlearned in Democratic financial sophistry. United States Court Notes. In Hie United State* Court, the replevin cases of Levy vs. United States Marshal Foster, and Herzog *V3. the same, are on trial together before a jury. The cases*r©w<oult of tbe Hirsch clothing fnilure at Terre Haute, the -plaintiffs both being of Cincinnati. In the same court, in the case of Alexander Cox et al. vs. Harry E. Drew et al., for shortage in coal, the claim being for $4,000, a verdict was Tendered Hor the plaintiff in foe amount of SIOO. Sigor and Parity. You have no admiration for a stagnantq>ool or a malarious swamp. The waters of the merry mountain brook are clear, pure and beautiful. So with the blood. When pure, it courses rapidly through arteries and veins, and you are well and hearty. When in bad condition your circulation is poor and sluggish, and you are nut worth a cent. Brown’s Iron Bitters invigorates the blood and gives you renewed life and heartiness. Mr. H. W. Devere, Enfield Centre, N. H., says: MI havederived splendid results from the use of Brown’s Iron Bitters as a blood purifier.*"

THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court, Ceb. 18, 1885. POINTS OP DECISIONS. No. 11606. Andrew Short w. George W. Kinzie. Whitley C. C. Reversed. Black, C.— (1.) An instruction stating that as some evidence of verbal admissions.by plaintiff had been given, the law is, sucli admissions consisting of j mere repetitions of oral statements made sometime ago are subject to much imperfection, but admissions deliberately-made and well understood are entitled to consideration, especially when made a party’s own interest, is erroneous. (2.) When the genuineness of a party’s signature is in question it is error for the jury to compare it with a signature purported to have been signed by him to a repiy filed in the case, but not in evidence, and the signature not admitted to be true. No. 11826. The C. &E. I. Railroad Company vs. Mary E. Boggs. Vermillion C. C. Affirmed. Elliott J. —The omission to give the signals required of railroad companies by statute, constitutes culpable -negligence. Compliance with thatatatute will not always exonerate the railroad company, if, by its own acts, it makes the statutory signals unavailing, as where it runs two trains so close together that the signals could not bo heard. No. 11634. Eva Bogard, administratrix, vs. the L. E. & St. L. Railroad Company. Flovd C. C. Affirmed. Coierick. C.—A master is not liable hi damages to an employe or servant for injuries resulting from the negligence of a coemploye or fell -"-servant engaged in the same general eraployKib.it. No. 12099. Edward C. Howlefct vs. Adam Scott Marion S. C. Affirmed. Bicknell C. C. — (1.) As the bill of exceptions does not show that an objection was made to the introduction of testimony complainei of, and (2) evidence excluded could not have had any effect out the finding if admitted. No. 12070. Richard Barnett vs. Eda Feary. Shelby C. C. Affirmed. Best, C. —(1.) Where it appears that the finding was upon one paragraph of a complaint, an error committed in overruling a demurrer to some other paragraph of the complaint will not work a reversal of the judgment. (2.) Where a farm tenant, whose tenancy expires in September, unlawfully holds possession until February following, it is proper in a.suit by tho owner, for possession and damages, to admit evidence for the plaintiff showing that the farm is better adapted to a wheat than a corn crop, as affecting the question of damages. So, also, is evidence as to the rental value of the house. (3.) Any fact tending to impair the credibility of a witness, by showing, his interest or his bias, may be elicited on cross-examination. (4.) Where the fact upon which an instruction is predicated* does not exist in tho case, there was no error in refusing it. Revival Services. The special meetings at Central-avenue Church are progressing with every indication of a deepening and widening influence and power. The revival of the church is already very manifest. The meetings are full of interest and deep spirituality. iDr. Marine preaches with rare unction aud application, and he is supported zealously and heartily by a large number of the membership.
