AFFAIfiS OF THE RAILWAYS. Pervoual and Local. Q. W. Bailey will to day succeed D. Roberts as agent of the Bee-liue at Larue. J. P. M Ca m, who represents the passenger business of the Missouri Pacific road at New Fork, is in the city. In tho readjustment of wages of employee on the Vandaiia read the pay of engine wipers was advanced ono cent per day. Georgo W. Cobb will conduct the gospel meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at half-past 7 tonight. Railroad people are especially invited. Colonel Robert Forsythe, of the C. & E. 1., lias go no South for his health. His frtenus are considerably alarmed over his condition, so broken has been his health for some months. It probably makes but little difference with John N. Abbott whether ho remains as general passenger agent of the Erie road or not, as he is worth SIOO,OOO, and is the owner of the Railway Official Guide, a very valuable property. The railroad blockade is over, and as the returns of earnings come in it becomes apparent that the loss by the snow embargo was not as serious as has been feared. In this* there is encouraging evidence of a growing revival in railroad business. G. F. Ward, assistant superintendent and passenger agent of tho New York,' Providence & Boston railroad, died at his residence in Say brook, Coen., a day or two since. Mr. Ward was quite prominent in the Purchasing Agents’ Association, and was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him. W. F. Stark, superintendent; J. Ramsey, chief engineer, an:l C. H. Rockwell, auditor, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, yesterday made an inspection of the C., H. & I. division. Superintendent Stark says the management are highly pleased with the volumo of traffic over this division. The pluck of Indianapolis ticket scalpers can but bo admired; they are notifying the roads which have signed the agreement to pay only regular agents commission that unless they withdraw from such an agreement these respective roads will be boycotted. Until Saturday next is giveu suclT agents to take the action demanded. There mu/st bo quite a boom in passenger business, as the local passenger agents say their revV enue in this section from business has increased ers weut into effect, while on the other hand the iscalpers say that for ten days past their sales of and profits therefrom are the largest for many months. The Vandaiia is experiencing quite a boom in ...passenger traffic. The noon express yesterday wasjrun out in two sections, ana, in addition to the mail, express and baggage cars, hauled sixrteen well filled passenger coaches. Several of fckhem were laden with colonists from Pennsylvania to the Southwest, and two coaches filled with emigrants for Kansas. The local Pussengor Agents' Association has %een notified by D. Wish art, general passenger gent of tho St. Louis Ac San Francisco, that he !is ready to sign the agreement to pay commissions only to regular agents, ignoring the scalpers. The Union Pacific is the only direct western connection of the Indianapolis roads which •(declines to sign the agreement. At the meeting of general passenger agents of roads in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, called for yesterday, fifteen roads were represented. Unfortunately several of the most important roads were not represented, and as the business to be fesneacted was of so much importance that harmonious action of all roads interested was imperative, the meeting adjourned sine die, without taking any action. Tho Wabash lias dropped its train agents. The XiOgansport Pharos says: “The beloved train Agents have not been seen on the main line of the Wabash for the past few weeks. Whether the combined cold weather and cold shoulder was too much for their tender sensibilities, or the management concluded their services wero van onfamcnl.nl luxury rather than a useful I necessity, is a matter of conjecture. The position of the agents wasn't an enviable one, as were subject to a good deal of refined or coarse criticism.” M. E. Ingalls, president of tho Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road, in his address beforetjie Board of Trade of Cincinnati, '•Saturday lSPfc, said, when commenting on the 'viost of transfer of cars from ono road xo another at Cincinnati, that while it cost but $1.50 on the average per car to deliver cars at Indianapolis from one road to another, at Cincinnati it cost >57.50 to $9.50 to transfer a car from one road to another. A more complimentary remark, showing tho excellent and economical management of the ludianapoHs Belt road and Union tracks, could not well bo made. Tho rate committee, with Geo. W. Smith, of the Lake Erie & Western road, as chairman, are etill at work on the King rate sheet, but hope to complete their labors this evening. The task has been a laborious one, as the entire rate sheet of the Middle and Western States has to bo adjusted to the reduced tariff adopted by the Chicago & Alton and two or three other roads a short time since from Chicago to Missouri river points. The work seems a useless one, however, unless the general passenger agents Cget together and take such action as will iro a bettor maintenance of rate3. Too Many ltear Collisions. The Railroad Gazette, in its last issue, publishes the railroad accidents in this country in {January. There were 145 accidents in all, in 1 which 24 persons were killed and 182 injured. Os the killed 18 and of the injured 57 were rail -road employes: 75 per cent, of the deaths and 31 per cent, of the injured, or 30.1 per of all the casualties thus falling to this class. In looking over the causes of the accidents it is noticeable that 29 were from rear collisions, 23 from ■hrokou raSl% and 16 unexplained. The number v>f /•ear collisions was certainly frightful, and should call the attention of railway managements to the matter at once, as there muet be fault somewhere. Engineers should be cautioned to look out more closely for this class of Accidents, ftnd when it is necessary to fla&a train none but a reliable man should be sent back. The motto of trkin men should be think quickly, •execute promptly ami faithfully, and always keep your signals ready for iip mediate use. ltuftffK'SS 61't hi*ago Ronds in 1884. A statebumt. emanating from Commissioner Fink’s office, gives the details of the shipment of east-bound dead freight from Chicago during *tbe year 1884. The total shipments of all classes v>f dead freight to the East from Chicago, Englewood, Cktrwith, Blue Island, Joliet, Mntteson, Bloom, Washington Heights, Grand Crossing andGouth Chicago during the year were as follows: Per Tons. cent.

New Englanders have little tfftith in this i-ailroad wrecker. An Old DMit Coming to tho Front. Some two yea're ago tho court gave traffic doJkcntures issued by the Indianapolis & Evans jwflle Straight line Company in payment for construction dnim, priority, it is stated, over any pother claim then existin'?, or any bonded debt Which might he created thereafter. There were pome $30,000 of such claims, a small portion of Jirhich havo hoen paid, certain holders of such

claims, it is stated, having accepted 23 cents on tho dollar. Other holders have been quietly awaiting thdr opportunity to secure the full amount, which time they now think has arrived, as it is understood that President Mackey and some of his backers are about to arrange a loan, securing it by mortgage on the road now built and which is to be bnitt, should the Straightlino, as it is proposed, be extended to Brazil. Parties holding such claims, some of whom reside in Indianapolis, will now press their payment The Enterprise Taking Shape. Mention was made in the Journal a few days since that the Mackey syndicate seemed determined upon extending what was formerly known as the Indianapolis & Evansville straight line, now built and in operation between Evansville and Washington, on to Worthington, where con nectiou will be made with the Terre Haute & Southeastern road, now under control of D. J. Mackey. In commenting upon this the Evansville Journal says: “J. H. O NeilUwas in Evansville and had an extended interview with D. J. Mackey, and as a result of that interview Mr. O’Neill will present a petition to the board of commmissioners next week, asking for a railroad election to see whether an appropriation shall be made by the people to aid the invaluable enterprise of extending the 1., W. & B. railroad north to Worthington as speedily as possible. The time of the election will be fixed either for the 7th or 14th of April next. A clause will be embodied in tho petition annulling all claims to the tax voted by the previous election. Further than this, Mr. Mackey says he will pay all costs of the previous election, and has authorized Mr. O'Neill to ascertain the costs of the same and draw on him for it. Not only this, but he will also deposit a reasonable sum of money as an earnest of his good faith in this matter. The amount of the tax asked is two-thirds of 2 per cent., which is 11-3 per cent. This township will therefore be called on for about $30,000, Steele township $6,000 and Elmore township for about $4,000. The road is to be completed to Worthington by Jan. 1, 1886." A General Demoralization of Passenger Rates Imminent. It is no exaggeration to say that a general demoralization of passenger rates west from Indianapolis and in this immediate vicinity is imminent. The Vandaiia passenger agents insist upon meeting rates made by the scalpers, saying that their Orders are from the highest officers so to do. Asa consequence, the passenger men of the I, & St. L.,the I. B. & W. and the Cl, L, St. L. &C. are becoming uneasy. They say that the Vandaiia people, with their most direct route and excellent train service, have no reason to inaugrate a fight with the scalpers and force roads that have less advantages into the fight for self-protection. Some very sharp talk on the subject was indulged in last evening between John Chesborough, of the Vandaiia, and D. B. Martin, Geo. W. Smith, of tho Lake Erie & Western, taking a hand. The latter expressed him&elf as being very strongly in favor of a rate war if the Pennsylvania and Vandaiia people’s policy is to meet the rates of scalpers at all points, and Mr. Martin, as well, said if the lines last named were to insist on such methods they might expect to see a $2 rate over the I. & 'St. L. road from Indianapolis to St. Louis, and to other Western points proportionate rates. It is certainly unfortunate that the general passenger agents did not, at the meeting yesterday, nip this prospective war in passenger rates in its early stages, before it becomes general, at the very time when travel is increasing and a handsome revenue should be derived therefrom. Have Profited by tlie Lesson. Only five miles of new track were laid in this country last week, making 107 miles thus far the current year. This is less thau for the same period since 1879, when the record, stood 97. It was 82 in 1877 and 80 in 1875. In 1880 it was 497. The light railway construction is only evidenefe that the public have recovered in a great way from the railway craze —at least for the craze for new railroads. It is perceived that when a town is well supplied with railroads, it is not greatly benefited by a simple duplication. The “great through business,” it is also seen, will not support an unlimited number of new railroads. C., C., O. & I. Stockholders' Meeting. Cleveland, March 4, —The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cleveland. Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis railroad was held hero to-day. Tho principal business of the meeting was the election of five of tho thirteen members of the board of directors, whose terms of office had expired. There was an unusually large attendance local stockholders, and twothirds of the entire capital stock of the road was voted. Following is the result of the vote: William H. Vanderbilt. C. Vanderbilt, W. K. Vanderbilt, James H. Rutter and Amos Townsend, unanimously re-elected for three years. The usual reports of the year were dispensed with on account of the sickness of the auditor. 4* a meeting of the directors, held immediately after the election, all the old officers of the road wore rejected. Miscellaneous Notes. The Firemen’s magazine for February is out, and is one of the best numbers yet issued. The (Chicago & Northwestern road, it is stated, will build 500 stock-cars to better accomodate their rapidly-increasing live-stock traffic. Durinsr the recent snow blockades some 1,000 freight cars of the New York Central were so crippled as to need to go onto side-tracks for repairs. In 1884 tho Illinois Central railroad had a decrease in freight traffic (4J per cent.), and an increase in passenerer traffic (9per cent.), which in the aggregate is equivalent to a decrease of less than 1 per cent. The issue has at last been joined between the Bartol committee of tho general mortgage bondholders and the managers of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad. The Philadelphia Press says war is declared, and foreclosure seems most probable. The official statement of the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company for JarXary shows gross earnings, including 68 per ceut. of the earnings and all working expenses of the New York. Pennsylvania & Ohio, of $1,315,443; operating expenses. $1,144,805; uet earnings, $170,638. Tho business men of Gunnison are exerting themselves to have the Denver & Rio Grando railroad extend its Crested Butte branch to Aspen, up Taylor river, and it now looks as if they would accomplish their desire. That is by ail means the most practical route to Aspen, and wo hope to see the road extended to Pitkin county’s booming capital. Yesterday the overland freight lino between San Francisco and Chicago went iuto full operation. Tho timo consumed is not to exceed nine days, and freight will be brought through without breaking bulk. Air brakes are to be attached to 1,000 freight cars. Tho lino traversed will bb over the Central Pacific, Union Pacific, ltock Island, Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul and the Northwestern roads. The Union Pacific people are showing a disposition to treat their engineers honorably in the matter of pay. Superintendent Smith within tho last few days has held several conferences with a committee of engineers preparing a tabulated statement of runs, wages, etc., with tho Object of making the enining average as nearly alike as possible. The only section where there is any trouble is west of Cheyenne, where the steep grades prevent engineers from making long runs, and the high cost of living cuts their wages down below those received by men on the eastern divisions. Throat Diseases Commence with a cough, cold or sore throat. “Brown’S Bronchial Troches” give immediate relief. Bold Only in boxes. Price 25 cents.

THE EM MET ANNIVERSARY. Irish-Americans Suitably Honor the Memory of the Martyr—Major Calkins’s Speech. The Irish Americans of this city have reason to be proud of the meeting held last night at Masonic hall, in celebration of the 107th anniversary of the birth of tho hero, martyr and patriot, Robert Emmet. Governor Gray presided, opening the ceremonies with a speech, in which he paid a tribute to Irish character and to Robert Emmet. In concluding his remarks, he said that Ireland was not to hope to gain her liberty by the methods of the dynamiters, but by legitimate methods of agitation, and revolution, and honorable warfare. Miss Anna Abromet, Mrs. W. C. Lynu, Miss Mollie Ward, Ora Pearson. Mr. A. Smith and Mr. A. A. Heckler took part in a pleasing musical programme. Mr. M. H. Spades gave a violin solo, and Professor Paul Bahr furnished the piano accompaniment. Emmet’s famous speech was given, the part of the martyr being assumed by Mr. P. J. Kelieher, and that of LordNorbury by Mr. J. M. Suliivan. The hall was appropriately decorated with American and Irish flags, the stage being arranged with flowers, plants and bunting. Tho Emmet Guards, occupying tho stage, sang, “God Savo Ireland” with fino effect. Mr. P. M. O’Conner, a young Irishman who has been in this country little more than a year, made a ringing address in enunciating the axiom that wherever England found a foe Ireland had a friend, he said that his sympathies, as those of all Irishmen and lovers of Ireland and haters of English wrong and oppression, wero with the Maluli in the Soudan. Majbr W. 11. Calkins, on being introduced by the president, was warmly applauded. His address took up the stirring events of the decade preceding the year 1800, leading up to the execution of the lamented Emmet. He called to mind, in eloquent words, the brave, generous and unfortunate Wolfe Tone, who, returning from America, organized the expedition in France for the freedom of his country, but which, being unsuccessful, resulted in his capture and his death in prison. He spoke of the young Irishman, William Orr, who gave his life for Ireland, as did in 1798 the brothers Henry and John Shires, and Thomas Russell, executed in 1803. He graphically described the capture and execution of Robert Emmet, who might have escaped had he not periled his life for a last meeting with the beautiful Sarah Curran, who had Ins heart. To this lady and to Anna Dovlin, who secreted Emmet from his pursuers—and from wlr >n neither bribes, tortures nor promises could extort a single hint of his hiding place—he gave au eloquent eulogy. Ho said the womanly dovotion of these two Irish girls will last in history and story and the Green Isle may well boast of such noble women as Sarah Curran and Anna Devlin. The world acknowledges Tell as the hero of Switzerland, Kosciusko as the hero of Poland, and we who love liberty as wo pass the unepitaphed grave of Emmet will reverently bow to tho greatest of Ireland’s dead, to the noblest of liberty’s martyrs. lam the champion of Ire land not because of the Irish blood that flows in my veins, but because I believe in the inherited right of people to self-government. Because they hold out their hearts in their hands to us asking sympathy. I believe that I shall live to see the day when Irishmen in Ireland will be allowed to select their own rulers. At no distant day I see in my fancy the lowliest Irish peasant in that now unhappy land, seated under his own. vine and fig-tree, in his own home, owning his own acres—a free man, with his Wife and children happy and contended around him. I see tho Irish people coming out from under the thraldom of British tyranny and the Irish republic looming up among the free nations of the earth beside the Cnited States and Switzerland, singing, while the green flag waves above them, their psoons of liberty. God bless you, my friends, 1 am glad to have been with you. Major Calkins's speech was heartily applauded at its close. Dancing followed tho musical and literary features of the evening. “CLEAR GRIT.” Rev. Robert Collyer, the Blacksmith Treacher, Lectures at Plymouth Church. Rev. Robert Collyer, of Now York, gave his old but over-welcome lecture, “Clear Grit,” last night in the Indianapolis lecture course at Plymouth Church. The audience filled tho lower floor, and looked as though they had got their money's worth. The lecturer scarcely looked at the leaves of his manuscript through the evening. Clear grit was defined as the power to say “no” to evil and passion; to be able not only to save yourself, but to give yourself; to do an honest day's work at your calling, whether blacksmithing or preaching—he had done the former for twenty-eight years and the latter nearly as long. The applications of clear grit were drawn fvom common life. Every young man should learn first to do and love. an honest day’s work: then get a good; home, and finally stick to it contentedly. The accomplishments of the girl of the period in tatting, in painting and in music, and their truo relationship to domestic life, were detailed in a vein of happy satire: also of the docile young men, who are polished to perfection—“especially those parts which are brass and steal.” He had known many such young men during his twenty-one years pastorate in Chicago who would not work, lived on their parents and friends, and “went down, down, down, until they got so low as to go to Washington and get an office which they knew they could never fill.” Young men should establish homes, and if it please God and things are as they ought to be, theso homes should be full of children, like the homes of his own Yorkshire —homes sweet as a rose and bright as a dollar —with 6or 8. bettor 10 or 12, or even 16 to 20 children about them. The worst wish he could wish a man, or a woman, was to be met after life by so Kb wandering spirit which should say: “I could have been what Burns was in his Ayrshire home, Sfcak* speare in Avon, or Lincoln in Kentucky, could I have come to the earth-life by your line, but you’ broke the bridge over which I should luivo passed, and shut tho gates of birth and being against me.” These sacred matters of the home were presented fully, but delicately and honestly, and constituted the finest and most earnest parts of the lecture. Mr. Collyer is an inimitable story toller, and his audience often broke iuto rippling, but subdued merriment The lecturer went to Chicago last night, and goe3 back to New York Friday. Like all the preacher lecturers, he regards the present as his last winter in the field, but there will be many in Indianapolis glad to hear the blacksmith preacher again. Amusement Matters. Edwin Denny, of this city, leaves to-day with the Tally-Ho company, as treasurer. Rafael Joseffy canceled his engagement at Plymouth Church yesterday afternoon, on account of illness. The “Rag Baby” and “Fantasma” at the Grand, and Charlotte Thompson at English's, will bo tho attractions next week. “Hearts of Oak” is pleasing the patrons of English's Opera house, and the Museum is presenting a varied bill for tho multitude. Mr. Dave Wheeler, assistant manager of Clara Morris, who has been visiting in tho city the past week, left for New York Inst night. To night the great Wallack Theater success, “Victor Durand,” from the pen of Henry Guy Oarleton, will bo produced at the Grand, Opera- j honso. George Clarke, Charles Wheatlcigh, j.

Newton Gotthold, W. 11. Denny, Rowland Buckstone, Fred Corbett, Henry Talbot, Sophie Eyre, Louise Dillon and Agnes Elliott- are the principal members of the organization. Victor Durand will finish out the week. Miss Minnie Turpen will be given a benefit, Friday evening, at Pfafflin’u Hall, assisted by T. V. Cook's company of amateurs. Miss Turpen will enter the Lyceum School annex of the Lyceum Theater, New York, for preliminary training. PERSONAL MENTION. Ex-Recorder Bieler has embarked in the commission business. Hon. George W. Friedley and wife, of Bedford, are at the Bates House. The statement that Mr. Theodore P. Haughey had purchased the Citizens’ Bank, of Noblesville, should be slightly qualified. He only bought an interest in it The funeral of the late Mrs. Hetty Athon Morrison, who died yesterday, will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock from the family residence, No. 173 Broadway. Mr. and Mrs. George Borrousentertained very handsomely a progressive euchre party on last evening, it being the anniversary of Mr. Borrou’s birthday. The favors were won by Mrs. Vi Campbell and Miss Emma Webber. The guests were Mesd&mes Segai*, Wood, Holland, • Losher, Campbell; Misses Webber, Wells and Niekols, Messrs. Segar, Wood, Holland, Losher, Campbell, Johnson and Lucas. The host was remembeied by several beautiful presents. Hotel Arrivals. Bates House: G. J. Grammer, Evansville; H. W. Strouse, Peru; H. C.

A fire broke out last night about 12 o’clock in tho picture frame establishment of F. Scheirich & Cos., on Massachusetts avenue. At first the flames threatened the Roosevelt House and the surrounding frame residences, but the firemen, on arrival, soon put out the blaze. The loss incurred is about $1,500, which is covered by insurance. Another Indiana Banking Cos. Dividend. Receiver Rand, of the Indiana Banking Company, has declared another dividend of 10 per cent. Judge Rand has been receiver of this property since September, and since that time two dividends have been declared, thus making 30 per cent, for creditors. Creditors are advised to take early action in securing the last dividend. c Wants the Facts Known.
