AFFAIBS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Chief Engineer Peters has commenced survey for the extension of the Chicago & Great Southern road southward. Within the last ten days sixty-four car-loads of livo poultry have beeu shipped from Indianapolis to Eastern markets. The earnings of the Indiana. Bloomington & Western road the fourth week in February, were JW.262.C3, a decrease of *4.726.27, as compared With corresponding week 1884. On Thursday last the official report shows that 1,940 cars were transferred over the Belt road, “Which was the heaviest movement in twenty-four Itours since the road was opened for business. The Wabash people bavo just completed an iron bridge over the Wabash, at Belden. which cost $40,000 in round numbers, and another fine ■iron bridge is in process of construction at Decatur. 111. Tho sof't coal pool between the Baltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania raiiroad companies has gone into effect. Walter Freeman, formerly division freight agent of the United Railroad Companies of New Jersey, was made commissioner. It is stated officially that John Walker, jr., is •to be continued as agent of the Wabash at this point The management discovered when it became known among shippers at this point that a change was contemplated, that Mr. Walker had many warm personal friends who were quite determined in their efforts to retain him as agent At Indianapolis. The Merchants' Dispatch Transportation Company is urging shipper* of perishable articles at this point to build the patent Wickes cold storage rooms, similar to those built at Cleveland, Ohio. By the by, the judges at the New Orleans exposition awarded tho premium of the best re-frigerator-car to Wickes Cold Storage Company. There wore a dozen or more cars exhibited. John McKenna, who for twenty years past has been master mechanic of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road, now operated by the Wabash, has been dropped, as intimated he ■would bo in the Journal. There are but few as competent and honorable holding such positions, and his retirement is said to boa part of the plan to crowd out all old 1., P. &C. men. L. N. Andrews, agent at Peru, is the only 1., P. & C. man now holding an important position on the goad, and it is said he is to be set out. Boston papers speak of the funeral services of 3. Q. Bean, central Eastern agent of the C., B. Q-, on Thursday last, as having been very impressive. Messrs. James Mills, of the Boston & Albany railroad, Joshua Richardson, of the Boston & providence railroad, W. J. C. Kenney, of the Boston & Maine railroad, G. T. Nutter and rGeorge S. Shephard, of the Erie railway, Albert A- Smith, of the West Shore railroad, E. A. Newell, of tho White line, and W. F. Knowles, agent of the California fast-freight line, were selected to act as bearers of the pall. Before the funeral ceremomes a large number of railroad uien met and passed appropriate resolutions, mentioning the many admirable qualities of the deceased. Mr. Lansing Mills, Mr. V. It. Carpenter, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, S. W. Cummings, general passenger agent of the Central Vermont railroad; J. R. Wood, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, and several others, sent telegrams of sorrow and condolence. Tbe 15. A O. People Assuming the Aggressive in All Directions. It is believed in raiiroad circles that Pittsburg is to be made a more important point by the Baljnore & Ohio people. As it is now, Pittsburg is only the terminus of its Connelisville branch. The original intention of tho Baltimore & Ohio, in the life-time of President John W. Garrett, was to make the main line from Baltimore to or to apoiut near Connelisville, thence west to Greenfield, in Washington county, and by way of the Pike Run or Ohio & Baltimore Short Line to Washington, Pa., and thence west over tho old Hempfleld to Wheeling. W. Va., where it will connect with the trausohio division of the f ßaltimore & Ohio. This line is shorter, very HAuch shorter, than the present hu in stem from CamtTOrtand to Wheeling, and avoids the ■heavy grades over the mountains. It was the short route of the lato Mr. Garrett, and it was his life’s ambition to see it constructed. It is •aid that he had made a written contract to complete this line, and his son, tho present chief executive of the company, has declared his intention to carry out literally the terms of this legaoy of his father. Over $1,000,000 have been expended in grading and in procuring the rights of way, and as soon as the company is able to turn its attention for a time from its eastern interests the new road will be completed. It is admitted that President Garrett has the most progressive ideas, and it, is said that he will within tbe next few years place his road in a position to actively and successfully compete with not only the Pennsylvania railroad, but also the New York State linos for tho traffic cast and west.

A Bright Future for East and West Lines. On Wednesday last, as a train of twelve coaches started west over the Vandalia, laden with a large party of colonists, from interior Pennsylvania, bound for Kansas, where they propose to settle, a railroad official remarked no one can readily estimate how much business to our road in the future that train load of people represents. These large parties of colonists and emigrants, as well, who are daily moving westward, is what in the not-very-far-off future will make tho railroads crossing Illinois, Indiana and Ohio valuable proj>erties He went on to say that these young men and middle-need colonists will one year go back to their old I‘ennsyl vania and 2few York koines, ar.d tho next year their parents and brothers and sisters will go West, returning their visit, some of them settling, possibly, West. Then th'e stock and grain they raise will naturul-y bo shipped over the roads they travel, and thus business will grow from year to year, and the revenues of the>railroad companies will increase handsomely as a result. Kates are now as low over the roads crossing Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, as they are likely to be. and as the country develops business will reach such a volume that the existing roads will not need to be confitantly quarreling, cutting rates, etc.; and he thought the paralleling of roads in tho States named would not hereafter cut much of a figure. What Kail roads Have Done for Agriculture. The New \ork Tribune has been dipping into tho vexed question of railroad relations to the commercial aud agricultural interests of the country, and has this to say concerning it: “Today the raih-oads are moving more than 10,000,000 tons of farm products from the far West to market* in the Eastern fc tales. At ten cents per one hundred pounds, or $4 a ton. from .Chicago to New York, the cost is $00,000,000. At sixty-five cents per one hundred pounds, tho rate in January, 1860, or sl3 a ton, the cost of moving the same freight would have been $105,000,000. By tho development of the railway system $135,000,000 yearly have been presented to the producers of the VVest and the consumers of the East, to be divided between them. That is about $lO a year to every inhabitant of the great wheat grow ing States. This bonetit, moreover, is permanent. ICast-ltound Hates To Be Ue stored Monday Next. Tho W abash people have again been whipped into the pool traces, and Gomnussionor Doherty, of the east bound pool, announces that on Monday next, by a unanimous vote of the agents of the seven eastern lines rates wjtl be restored to the basis of 18 cents pet 100 pounds on grain from Indianapolis to New York. Commissioner 'Doherty certainly deserves great credit for nipping what promised, forty-eight hours ago, to beau ugly war on eastbound rates in the * bud. The more important was it that they should at once be restored at Indianapolis, as tliero was great danger that the demoralization here would become general, At Chicago rates aro strong at 25 cents per 100 pounds and cars cannot be furnished in sufficient numbers to curry tho property offered at that rate. The belief now is that navigation noil not open before the middle of May, aud the

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1885-TWELVE PACES.

managements of solvent roods are greatly desirous that rates may be maintained and a little money made while there is an opportunity so to do. Tlie Future of the 1., D. & Sj a Problem. C. K. Henderson, general manager of the 1., B. & W. system and a half dozen other roads, who has been iu Ohio for three or four days, looking some of the properties over, returned yesterday. When questioned as to the statement to the effect that the 1., B. & W. people had become tired of carrying tho Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield road and were to surrender the lease, he answered; “Tho matter has l ien under serious consideration between the parties interested, all of whom reside .East, but I have not been apprised that any definite action has been taken; but I hope our people will drop the road, as it cannot bs operated except at a loss, unless the contract is greatly modified." He assigned as a reason for issuing certain orders regarding the equipment of the TANARUS., D. & S. road turned over to them —spoken of in yesterday’s Journal —that should the 1., B. & W.' continue to operate the road it would doubtless be run as a local road, and only L, D. & S. equipment used on it Unfortunate for New Albany. There is a very unpleasant state of affairs existing at New Albany between the J., M. & I. people and the City Council. The Pennsylvania Company, operating the J., M. & 1., have, within the last two years, paid out $70,000 for ground at New Albany to enable them to improve their terminal facilities, and propose to erect a fine passenger depot and commodious freight depot at that point, but will not do so until the City Council gives them the privilege of laying a second track to th#passenger depot and the sary side tracks to the freight depot. If the reports are true some very singulur methods have been adopted to influence the press and the City Council against allowing tho Pennsylvania people the city legislation which is necessary before they can proceed with the work. The New York Central Dividend. New York, March 6 —The directors of the New York Central state that nothing was earned on the stock in February on account of the snow blockade, loss of western business, etc., and so the dividend has been reduced to 1 per cent. It was also decided not to estimate the earnings hereafter for the last month of the quarter, but to wait until the quarter ended and then declare a dividend from actual earnings. The directors also unanimously approved the action of the officers in reducing rates to the lowest point made by competing lines. Tho statement for the quarter ending March 31, inst (partly estimated), shows: Gross earnings $6,330,000 Operating ex peases 3,901,000 Nbt ear; ings ; 2,43‘J,000 Fixed charges 1,485,000 Balance 947,000 Dividend, 1 per cent 894,283 Surplus 52,717 The New York & Harlem directors to day declared a dividend of 2 per cent, on both common and preferred stock. Receiver Wanted for the P. & W. Pittsburg, March 6. —Papers have been pre pared for presentation to court, asking the appointment of a receiver for the Pittsburg & Western Railroad Company. The road is now said to have been bankrupt for two or three years past, and several heavy judgments which have been staved off are being pressed for settlement. Its bonded debt outstanding i3 $5,170,500, and its capital is $7,250,000. About $20,000 of its paper, it is 6aid, went to protest hero this week. Rumored Building of a New Line Denied. Boston, March 6. —The Transcript says: report that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company had decided to build sixty miles of road, from Louisiana, Mo., to Brighton, 111., for the purpose of giving the Hannibal & St. Joseph road a connection with St. Louis, independent of the Wabash road, is denied. The report probably arises from the fact that such a route has been surveyed by C., B. & Q. engineers."

Miscellaneous Notes. The Central Pacific is making arrangements for burning petroleum instead of wood and coal in the railway shops at fcacramento. It is estimated that if the cars used in transporting passengers from the West, Southwest and South, over the Baltimore & Ohio were placed in line, they would make a row over ten miles in length. The employes on the Lackawanna & Pittsburg road, hnving received no pay for six months, have strnck. George I>. Chapman, who was appointed receiver in December last, is blamed for much of the trouble. Seven car-loads of potatoes shipped from Michigan to New England, in Eastman heated cars, arrived in Boston Monday in good condition, although fourteen days on the read, owing to snow blockades and cold weather. The San Francisco Call says aline of steamers will be chartered to run between New Mexico and Liverpool, in connection with the Southern Pacific railroad, which will endeavor to handle the entire wheat crop (of the Pacific coast) this year, making special rates thereon to England. The Boston & Albany has issued a neat little book containing cuts showing the location of the arteries and bones in the human frame, together with succinct statements of what to do in case any person is injured. The book is placed on every train in connection with the “emergency case.” • The St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company has closed a contract with the Union Bridge Company of New York for the construction of an iron bridge across the Arkansas river at Van Buren, Ark. The bridge will be 1,800 feet long and will have a draw span of 370 feet It will cost $400,000 and will be finished by Nov. I. The San Francisco Chronicle says the February reports of tho Eastern passenger agents wiio aro located there will show tho expense account to be hundreds of dollars above the office receipts. The cause of this falling off in business, as far as the Eastern agencies aro concerned, lies in the fact that nearly every passenger for tho East has taken advantage of tho cheap sates to New Orleans. Medical College of Indiana. At the annual meeting of tho faculty of the Medical College of Indiana, held last evening in the college library, Dr. J. L. Thompson was elected dean of tho faculty for the ensuing year; Dr. C. E. Wright, secretary, and Dr. Joseph W. Marsee, treasurer. Tho auditing committee consists of Drs. H. W. Jameson, A. W. Brayton and Joseph Marsoo. Dr. F. W. Hays was elected assistant secretary and librarian, and Oliver Wright janitor. Dr. F. W. Hays was elected lecturer on skin diseases; Dr. James H. Taylor, dem onstrator of anatomy; Dr. John E. Hough, curator; Dr. Frank A. Morrison, lecturer on auaiomy and assistant deraostrator of anatomy, and Dr. George W. Sloan, lecturer on pharmacy. Dr. A. W. Brayton was elected to deliver the annual address to the alumni tho coming February. The board of trustees, by tho advice of the faculty, created a chair of pathology, and elected Dr. E. F. Hodges as professor of the same. liurbiugcrs of Spring. The State Department of Agriculture reports that the blue birds, robins and larks are on the way North, and that the farmers aro tapping the sugar tree. Warm weather must be hoar at hand. Good Health and Long Life. Tho two do not always go together, but they ought to, for it is a sad sight to see an old gentleman or au aged lady dragging out a painful existence of disease, debility and misery. Much misery can be avoided by elderly people who keep up tho pru{*er proportion of iron in their blood by taking Brown's Iron Bitters. This is not a stimulant, but tho best aud truest iron ton 19 iu the world.

The Governor’s Signatures. Governor Gray has signed tiio redistricting bills, thereby consummating the new gerrymander. These bills are entitled, “An act to fix the number of senators and representatives to the General Assembly, and to apportion the same among the several counties, and repealing all laws in conflict with the same,” and “An act to divide the State into congressional districts.” Madison county will be transferred to the Seventh district. The Governor signed, also, yesterday, the following bills, which are now laws: An act empowering voluntary associations to establish homes for the care of aged females; an act appropriating $30,000 to the Indiana University; an act providing means for securing the health and safety of employes of coal mines; an act authorizing township trustees to bridge streams forming tho boundary line, and an act fixing the time of holding court in the Fourth judicial circuit. He also vetoed the-militia bill. They Won’t Resign. “The so-called rumors from 'Washington as to the resignation of federal officers here have no foundation in fact,” said one of them to a reporter yesterday. “These ‘rumors’ are a neat invention of the enemy. Certain office-seekers finding that many of the terms of the officers continue for somo time, and understanding that the administration intended to let officers serve during tho terms for which they were appointed, in their disappointment aro circulating ‘rumors’ that these officers intend to resign, None of the federal officers hero are contemplating resigning. They expect to serve during the terms for which they were appointed, unless the administration beheads them by removal, without causo.” , Amusement*. “Victor Durand” will bo presented this afternoon and evening, closing tho engagement.

Pittsburg C'hroniclfi-Tclegraph. During the day or two before Mr.. Cleveland started for Washington, a “gag” bet was going the rounds of the city. A Republican would startle a Democrat by sayiug. “Bet you a

hundred to five that Cleveland never sees Washington alive." Os course the Democrat would take the bet, and then the Republican would say: “Hand it over; Washington has been dead a long time,” and then would come a natural, followed by an artificial, smile. i lovely girls of the south. Why the Young Men Marry and Settle Down to a Quiet Life. New York Evening News. I rom fifteen to twenty the Southern girl is a joy to the beholder, says a lady correspondent A creajny complexion, with sometimes, but not often, a faint flush of pink underneath, soft eyes, with a world of dreams in them, a rounded figure, tiny hands and feet, and kittenish ways, mane it no marvel that the youth masculine of New Orleans is mostly married at twenty-two or twenty-three. A girl of twenty who has not received half a dozen offers at least is socially a failure. Matrimony is the grand, authorized aim, as publicly recognized as the Louisiana Lottery. Girls are educated to marry, and to detest the circumstances that compel them to earn their living in any less womanly way. “I married,” said a little lady to me the other day, discussing the somewhat unfortunate position of family affairs. Tho inference was plain. But there are girls, brave girls, whose pretty faces may be seen behind the counters of almost every large store iu New Orleans, who, while hating conformity with shoppy conditions, have put their delicate shoulders to the wheel of family adversity, and sweetly contributed their mites to tho general Of the professional ambition that fires thoir Northern sisters they know nothing. They are intimately and entirely domestic, lovable and loving, asking only to be shielded from the facts of life, and permission to unlimited piroutte. A young lady may receive alone, and generally does: may a drive with a gentleman, but may not accept his escort to the theater, concert or bait without a chaperon; Sunday evening is devoted to reception all over the city; church in the morning is the usual limit to devotion; fire-crackers and brass bands enliven the day, and anything can be purchased, from carpets to caramels. The girls sit in their pretty summer dresses upon the wide steps of the pillared veranda, their various admirers posing with admirable effect in their immediate vicinity. It is all very picturesque, very idjdiic. There is much rythmic laughter add distracting coquetxy, many graceful compliments and imperial edicts. To make hay while the sun shines is a rule of conduct no less practical than valu. able to these demoiselles, for their beauty is the beauty of the queenly magnolia—# touch of frost, a bruise of fortune, and it is gufte, withered, faded, yellowed, a suggestion of the past.

THE JOURNAL-1885 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is recognized every whore as tho leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense will be spared in tho future to maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was noversowell equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day are more complete than ever, and we are adding somo special features for 1835 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 are noir more comprehensive than ever, covering the whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by tho work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of tho 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. The 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 allairs with the beginning of the new year. The Democratic Legislature will bo 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 mfty 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 organship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columus of THE JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, ami 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 tho children are to be instructed and entertained. They will always fiud in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor iu tho hc-asehold. Tbe news will be presented in such shape as to minimize tho evil, and its editorial and local column* will be kept free from moral taint The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FKATCHKS. By a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL begins with the new year the publication of a soriesef original stories from the pen3 of tho most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. B. Aldrich, Frank It. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett, and others of equal celebrity. In order to reach all our readers, these stories will be printed in the Saturday edition of tho Journal The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of tho sermon of Rv. Dr. Talmage, of tho Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in other papers of the State until tho following Sunday. This is only one feature showing tho excellence of the Journal’s arrangements for the prompt publication of news.

THE SUNDAY JOURNAL. We have been compelled to yield to the de* maud, 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 in the State of Indiana and surrounding territory. Tho circulation of the Sunday edition is the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itsjlf tho People’s Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNaL is without competitor in the Stato in the character and variety of matter it presents its readers. The beet writers in the Stato and the country freely contribute to its columns. In 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 foatures of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In tlicso respects THE WEEKLY JOURNAL us superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by any special class publication.
