AFFAIRS OF TOE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Sidney Jones, formerly passenger agent of the l*., N. A. & C. roal, is in the city prospecting. |*<3olonel D. N Welch, formerly general superintendent of the Pullman Palace-car Company, \Sied recently at Dresden, Germany. ; By order of Receiver Evans the chief train Ijiafvairihftrs office of the Louisville, Evansville & S& Lotus Air line has been removed to Hunihngburg. On Sunday last, at one time, there were forty-six freight trains on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago road moving over the main line. ’ Conductor Catherwood, of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, who was injured in the Rensselaer wreck, six weeks ago, is out again, but is obliged to use crutches. John Q. A. Bean, general Eastern passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, died teuddenly on Sunday morning, in Boston, of oeritonitig. He was one of the oldest and bestxnown railroad men in the country. The terms of the new contract between the tollman Car Company and the Pennsylvania have been settled. The terms will not be vxnade public officially before the annual meeting ►of the Pennsylvania Company, on March 10. Twelve heavy freight trains were run over the ■Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis road yesterday, a movement which is very seldom exceeded ton this road. It is stated that the Indianapolis diivieion is doing more business proportionately kllian is the C.. H. & D. main line. The Bee line people yesterday ordered twentvTfour of the Palmerton wrecking frogs. One of the frogs will be kept ready for use at the more important stations on the system whore there is -a good deni of switching done and derailments of locomotives and cars are liable to occui frequently. * Eighteen hundred and thirty-two loaded cars /Were transferred over the Belt road on Sunday. (Seventy per cent, of these cars were moved by iith* Indianapolis & St. Louis and the Cincinnati, ifndianapohs, St. Louis & Chicago, the latter .road transferring thirty-four more cars than did Mthe 1. & St. L. Reclining-chair cars were put on Sunday night (between St. Louis and Cincinnati over the Van-Ifialia-and the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Chicago road. The C., 1., St. L. & C. now (•hauls three reclining-chair cars nightly out of —one for St. liouis, one for Peoria a third for Chicago. The ticket-brokers and scalpers yesterday, to t>e in fashion, held a conference. Wm. Powell was called to the chair. F. Newby acted as secretary. Geo. Fry introduced a resolution to the effect that no matter how low the local passenger agents put rates they, the scalpers, would drop $1 below. The resolution was seconded by Wm. Hicklin and unanimously passed. Th Transcontinental Association have as yet ft>een unable to agree upon a commissioner, and G. Cannon, the acting commissioner, will continue in the position until a unanimous choice can be made The question of selecting au arbitration committee has been settled, iMessis. Bogue and Ford having consented to serve with Air. Gray upon the committee. A railroad man, who has thoroughly examined into the operations of the Union Railway Company amPßelt road, and the operations of roads toilvke character at other prominent railroad canters, states that there was less friction and ieas expense attached to doing the work, pro4Pf!enate)y, over the Indianapolis lines than -over the same mileage at any other railroad (•point in this country. E. St. John, general passenger agent of the 'general passenger agent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis. St. Louis & Chicago road, are to be in the city to day for a conference regarding better through train service between the Southeast and Northwest. Perry Griffin, district passenger Agent of tho C. & R. 1., accompanies Mr. St John, and both officials express the belief that Wjtth the coming of settled weather there is to hie a heavy travel in ali directions. Air. St. John iiM started on his semi annual Eastern trip, and proposes to visit New York and Boston.

Railroading Economy a Science. Every day makes it more apparent that railroad economy is a science. To substantiate such A statement the operation of the Pennsylvania system of roads is an apt illustration. The Despatch publishes a statement which shows that to-day' the Pennsylvania Railway \iauls freight at less than 1 cent a ton per mile. Hhis involves loaded trains both ways and the locomotives in constant use. A well-distributed as well as a heavy traffic is necessary for the Anccessful practice of economy. The loading, unloading and repeated handling of local freight makes the cost of transportation greater than the above rate; but now this work is mostly done by machinery where it was formerly done by hand. In the handling of trains there is also a great saving over the earlier years of the railroad era, twenty-five years ago. The improved brakes, couplings and other attachments of the engines and cars have dispensed with numbers of men before required. In 1800 it ost 65 cents per hundred bushels, or GJ cents per bushel to transport the farm products of the West from Chicago to New York. This (Amounted to sl3 a ton. It now costs about $4 a tou to transport the same products that distanco, a difference of $9 in a quarter of a century. The amount moved last year was 15,000,000 tons, at a cost of $60,000,000. At the old rates the cost would have been $135,000,000. £Tho difference, $75,000,000, was the money saved to the producer and consumer, or the country in general. To make this immense reduction of expenses it has required the most careful operation of the lines and the very strictest economy, on Cosiness principles. Yet these rates are from time to tiuio cut ruinously and the loss must be made up in some way. Labor-saving machinery And valuable improvements, together with advanced and thoroughly systematized methods of operating railroads, have enabled these reductions to be made, and the future will see much greater ones. Train Service Between Boston and New York. The best train service in this country is said to ifce between New York and Boston, and the heavy through travel and large local travel between the cities on the respective routes justifies the (roads in maintaining such excellent service. iThe number of passengers daily each way between* Boston and Now York by all routes averages not less than 1,000. In summer it is more, in •winter less, though after all not materially so—aay from 800 to 900. Tho bulk of the rail movement is by nine trains—four of them on the Springfield line, three on the Shore line and two on the Air lino. The first two of the routes just named are the oldest, be.o-t known and popular ones. The shortest time now is six hours. The Boston & Albany road's express trains average from 50 to 70 through passengers, and the So&i:on & Providence road’s as many. The Stonington boat line, even in winter, carries somo 75 daily passengers, and the Fall River tine a much larger number. The estimate of •650 passengers by the nine or ten principal through trains and the three Sound lines yields an average of 70 pussengers per train anti boat. And this number is pronounced within bounds <t>y{the chief executive officer of one of the Bos'ten roads engaged successfully in the business. The daily movement is increasing annually. Its magnitude was suggested by the Boston & Alfatny companj*. when, some five years ago, it mode a complete separation of its New York from its Albany trains. Ask for a Foreclosure Snle of tho Road. Philip Henry Brown, of Portland, Me., and 3okn Paton, of New York, have filed a bill in 4h United States Circuit Court against the Toledo, Peoriu ic Westcrn railroad, the Wabash, h Louis & Pacific Railway Company and its •receivers, the Central Trust Company, of New jjTork, the Peoria & Pekin Union Railroad ComCy, the St. Louis. Iron Mountain & Southern Iway Company, Robert C. Martin, Archibald jSfypkins, and others, for a foreclosure. The ariSroad was leased to tho Wabash, St. Louis & T* fie company for forty nine years, six months

and twenty-four days, on May 22, 1880. The rental was fixed at 30 per cent, of the gross earnings of the leased road, rolling stock, equipments, etc. If the gross earnings were not sufficient, the lessee was to pay all taxes and insurance and the interest coupons on the 4,500 of first mortgage bonds as they accrued, and tho interest on such of the income bonds as their holders should approve. The trustees, in default of any of these conditions, were at liberty to declare the lease forfeited and tako possession of the road. Possession was then taken of the road by tho Wabash, •which has operated it sinco. They have, however, made default in payment of the interest due July 1 and Oct. 1, 1884. and Jan. 1, 1885. Through this default the trustees under the first mortgage are entitled to immediate possession, and have been requested to take possession and manage the road until it is sold by holders of $500,000 of the bonds. The Wabash, St Louis &■ Pacific Company are owners of a majority of tho first preferred income bonds, and control the management of the road, refusing to compel the surrender of the lease. Upon their petition Judge Blodgett passed an order allowing the suit to be brought The bill therefore asks for the appointment of a receiver, the foreclosure and sale of the road, and leave to have the lease of the Wabash company declared forfeited. It is stated, should the complainants in this case carry their point, similar action will be taken in the case of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago and by trustees of other divisions of the Wabash system in the same boat Trunk-Line Pool Matters in Statuo Quo. H. C. Diehl, general freight agent of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road, spent several days of last week in New York, and therefore had an opportunity to ascertain what tho prospects are for a continuance of the trunk-line pool. Mr. Diehl says the prevailing opinion is that matters will move along much after the present manner for a few months and then will be reorganized on a more permanent basis than the pool, which is now practically only a statistical bureau. Mr. Diehl states that considerable talk is heard of establishing a clearing-house association, and leading railroad men are looking carefully into its operation in England, and it is more than possible that the trunk-line pool will be converted into a clearing-house association. No oue questions that in due time some organization will be effected which will tend to harmonize rates and aid in their maintenance. Should the Grand Trunk carry out their seemingly present intentions and withdraw from the pool, it would not necessarily lead to a general demoralization ih freight rates. In fact, the Grand Trunk people promise to live up strictly to tariff rates, providing their competitors do. At any rate Mr. Diehl does not anticipate that either east or west-bound rates will go lower than the figures of to-day, certainly not uutil navigation opens.

February Business. Below is published the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the month of February, 1885, and the corresponding period for seven years past Total Loaded Movement. Cars. 1879 46.29 G 99,878 1880 01,807 47,(588 1881 70,300 04,787 1882 85,210 68,841 1883 60.075 56,015 1884 67,5(50 55,165 1885 81,715 60,283 It will be noticed that notwithstanding the snow blockades and sevore weather, the movement this year was the largest of any February in seven years past, except 1882. Miscellaneous Notes. The Nickel-plate managed to earn $11,114 more in the last quarter of 1884 than in 1883, but it cost $121,613 to do it. Freight business on the roads leading to Washington is entirely suspended this week, so heavy will be passenger business. The rumor is renewed that the Erie is again going into tho hands of a receiver, to which tho New York Indicator says: ‘‘Poor Erie; are you to be plucked again?' ’ The earnings of the Chicago & East Illinois for the third week in February were: 1885, $16,051: 1884, $24,334; decrease, $8,283, As during three days the road was blockaded by snow the exhibit is a favorable one. Several new Pullman hotel cars are to be put on this week between Boston and Chicago over the Fitchburg, through the tunnel, and thence over the Delaware & Hudson and the Erie and its Western extensions to Chicago. On and after March 1, the Western & Atlantic railroad will transport its Eastern passengers through Cincinnati via the Queen & Crescent route. Formerly both freight and passenger business to the East was done via the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad. W. C. Van Horne, general manager of the Canadian Pacific railway, states that the road will be completed by the third week in August; that a plain iron spike will be driven into tho last rail, and that everybody that goes to witness the event will have t.o pay his own fare. Judge Hallett, of Colorado, decided that car trusts, principal and interest, were prior securities, and must be paid out of the income, the same as wages and labor, ranking prior to even first mortgage bonds. Should the courts of New York render a similar decision in the case of the Erie car trusts it would give tho Erie a rough time. An apt illustration of how unfairly the selling price of railroad stock shows its value is shown by a comparison of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the Springfield & Memphis railroad stocks, Atchison, a 6-per-cent dividend stock, selling below Springfield & Memphis, not yet upon the list of dividend payers, but with fair prospects in that direction.

DR. PCI,TON’S NEW DEPARTURE. A Former Indianapolis Rector Makes Some Innovations Among St. Louis Episcopalians. Dr. John Fulton, who was dean of St Paul's Cathedral of this city, a few years ago, will be remembered as a learned but exceedingly eccentric man. The members of St Paul, which lias always been a very sedate and conservative church, were kept constantly in hot water during the dean's rectorship, and upon his leaving the vestry held a meeting and seriously considered the question of selling the building, so disastrous had been his administration of affairs. lie is now in St Louis. The following, from the Republican of that city, will be read with interest by Episcopalians of Indianapolis: “The delivery of sermons and lectures from the pulpit of St. George’s Episcopal Church by clergymen outside of the blessed pale of the Episcopal body may. we presume, be regarded as suggested by a spirit of liberality and reform. It is stated, we understand, that the interesting performance is not in violation of any precise rule or canon, but this is merely a technical explanation; it does not suppress the pleasing suspicion that the ancient rigidity of the Episcopal body is being gradually relaxed under the genial influences of liberalized Christianity. To be sure Christianity was always liberal, in its essential principles, but it grew strangely austere and exclusive as expounded by certain ecclesiastical bodies. So, also, it seems to have grown singularly complex, a sort of science to be expounded by experts, and on the Protestant side, at least, requires a multitude of separate communions—a diversity in unity—to represent the phases of irreconcilable opinions. Among these church bodies, the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States has been a reposeful and symmetrical form. Deriving its principles and organization from the English establishment, it rejoices in a ministry claiming an “apostolic succession,” and as it was the church of the governing classes in the early days, so it became in later, to a large extent, that of cultivated people, with a tendency to aristocratic ideas. These influences tended to impart a delicate aroma of antiquity and a certain inflexibility of spirit It was a church with a history, with a singularly sweet and noble literature, and with a supposed apostolic consecration, inspiring and peculiar; and thus it is not surprising that it resisted all innovations and the influences of religious fashions. It acquired, so to speak, an unaccommodating disposition, not so much from coldness of character as from its exclusive privileges and the extreme respectability of its origin and principles. “Dr. Fulton’s departure, therefore, from Episcopal precedent, or at least from the mass of Episcopal opinion, is quite noteworthy and interesting. It is contented that the novelty would not have been attempted nor sanctioned had not the position of St. George’s been such as to render it, permissible. In other words, because the church is not quite out of debt, and therefore not formally consecrated, it can afford to be friendly and liberal to its denominational neighbors. We really think that Dr. Fulton’s pleasant experiment may, result injuriuusly to church finances, because, if thojexistencejof church debts facilitates such graceful actions, such charming Christian bonhomie, there is a very good argument for neglecting to pay them off. Tho venerable and statuesque Episcopal Church under the rejuvenating influences of modern liberalism is a highly interesting spectacle. It ia a striking illustration that even the most fixeZTforms feel the enkindling breatli of the new era, that preaches union and fraternity among all the advocates of truth, whether religious or scientific. It is reported that Episcopalians in St. Louis are somewhat divided in opinion respecting the new departure at St. George’s, but when the careful and conservative Bishop Robertson indorses it and personally attends the meetings, it may be presumed that the majority are in accord therewith.”

THE CITY IN BRIEF. The March session of the grand jury began yesterday. Bertha Strong, the little daughter of B. B. Strong, formerly of Indianapolis, has been mysteriously abducted at Chicago. The Indianapolis Lumbermen’s Association will hold their annual banquet at tho Bates House this evening, at 7 o’clock. The Indianapolis Light Infantry will give another of their very entertaining receptions on Friday evening at their armory. Next Thursday will be the last day to redeem property which has been sold for delinquent taxes in 1883. The purchaser is entitled to a deed after that day. The divorce cases of Perry E. Nolan vs. Lizzie Nolan and Mattie J. Prince vs. John T. Prince have been dismissed by Judge Taylor, on account of failure to prosecute. The Tippecanoe Club will meet to-morrow afternoon at the City Council chamber, where Willard Nichols will read a paper on Henry Clay and the campaign of 1844. The clerk issued the following marriage licenses yesterday: Norman M. Ruick and Julia D. Lamb, James Rhoads and James Allen, and Byron Brown and Mary Pullen, Mary A. Langston prays for a divorce from Leander Langston, in the Superior Court, alleging cruelty and indifference. She demands the custody of their minor child, Rossie. Last night a fire broke out at tho bakery of Parrott & Nickum, corner of Market and New Jersey streets, destroying a small shed in the rear of the main building, the loss amounting to about $25. Governor Gray yesterday signed a bill appropriating $10,113 to pay Carlon & Hollenbeck for work done by that firm in the capacity of public printers; also, he approved and signed the union depot bill. John Wesley Smith and August H. Schwingo have brought suit against Sam Hanway and John L. Hanna to recover $5,000, which amount the plaintiffs claim is due them on a real estate transaction. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. state that in the report of their anniversary meeting the Journal’s figures were incorrect. During the year 1884 there were 120 gospel meetings and seventy-five signatures to the pledge. H. D. Beissenherz took judgment yesterday, in ’Squire Feibleman's court, against the several members of the Democratic State central committee for music furnished during the campaign. About SBO was demanded. Win. Lancaster was arrested by a telegram, yesterday, for selling his saloon in Xenia, on which a man named Smith, living at Marion, held a mortgage, and attempting.to escape with tho money into some new region (>f the country. The fine cornet offered by Emil Wulschner, the music dealer, to the band which bought the most band and orchestra music from him from March 1, 1884, to March 1. 1885, was awarded S. E. Brewer, of Whiteland, Ind. It was valued at SSO. The Central W. C. T. U. now have their lunch room in No. 68 North Pennsylvania street, where they will gladly welcome their old customers, and trust their accommodations will be such as to merit the liberal patronage hitherto received.

Judee llowo had the folio wine business in his court yesterday: Judgment for $474.58 was given Charles Bauer against T. DeYoung, and two divorces were refused, that of Emma Andrew against William and Sarah Tevis against Thomas. The Young People’s Christian Temperance Union will hold their regular meeting at Mrs. Moody's, 127 East St. Mary’s street, to-night, at 8 o’clock. Some excellent music has been prepared, and Mrs. Dr. Swain will read a paper on “The Physiological Effects of Alcohol on the Human System.” The representative of the New York Life Insurance Company, here, states that Mr. H. C. Adams was not treated differently from others in the matter of the renewal of his policy. In the case of Barton W. Cole, a well man, the premium was refused after the expiration of *the period named in the contract In Favor of the Market-House. At a meeting last night of the board of governors of the Board of Trade, a resolution was adopted fuvonng the passage of Mayor McMas-

tec’s bill in Council, for the erection of the proposed new market-house and city hall. The Board was unanimously and enthusiastically in favor of the erection of the buildings. A committee was appointed, consisting of General R. S Foster, chairman; E. B. Martindale, John H. Holliday, Silas G. Bowen, VV. D. Wiles ,N. S. Byram, Allen AI. Fletcher and A. W. Hendricks, to urge the passage of the bill before Council The friends of the movement are quite sanguine of the erection of the buildings at once. Vitality of Great Men Is not always innate or born with them, but many instances are known where it has been acquired by the persistent and judicious use of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.

THE JOURNAL-1885 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is recognized every where as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper exponse will be spared in the future to maintain this undisputed excel* lence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so weli equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements forth© collection of Jhe news of the day are more complete than ever, and we are adding some special features for 1885 which must enhance the popularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full, reports of the Western Associated Press, which ate now more comprehensive than ever, covering the whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by the work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of the State and of the country at large. We have a special resident representative at Washington City, who looks after the news of the national capital with vigilance, paying particular attention to that which most nearly concerns THE JOURNAL'S constituency. Tho national administration will soon pass into the control of the Democratic party, and the fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. The new State administration takes charge of affairs with the beginning of the new year. The Democratic Legislature will be in session. The Journal will pay unusual attention to the daily presentation of such a report of its doings that any citizen of the State may know all that is going on affecting the public interests, accompanied with such comment as may be needed to explain the possible political, social and economic effects of the proposed legislation. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of tbe Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organshiphas passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a pur poso for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THE JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also bo said that THE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and the children are to be instructed and entertained. They will always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the household. The nows will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and its editorial and local columns will be kept free from moral taint. The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by an5 T newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL begins with the new year the publication of a series of original stories from the pens of the most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. B. Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Jackson, Sarah Orno Jewett, and others of equal celebrity In order to reach all our readers, these stories will be printed in the Saturday edition of the JournaL The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage, of tho Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in other papers of the Stato until the following Sunday. This is only one feature showing the excellence of the Journal’s arrangements for the prompt publication of news. - THE SUNDAY JOURNAL. We have been compelled to yield to the demand, and henceforth the SUNDAY JOURNAL will be enlarged to Twelve Pages and will be sold for Five Cents, and will be sent to every town and city iu the State of Indiana and surrounding territory. The circulation of the Sunday edition is tho largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itself the People's Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL is without competitor in the State in tho character and variety of matter it presents its readers. The best writers in the State and the country freely contribute to its coluraus. Iu its enlarged and improved form it will be absolutely without a rival or peer.

THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL. . (weekly edition) Is the best secular paper published in the State. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In these respects THE WEEKLY JOURNAL ia superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more oxtensivo than that which can bo occupied by any special clast publication.
