Colonel Joseph Hill, superintendent, E. R. Harrow, his private secretary, N. K. Elliott, master of transportation, and John F. Miller, Buperintondont, of the C., St. L. & P., are in the fcity on official business. The Northern Pacific people are to have a representative at Columbus, 0., and have apI‘ dinted A.

L *On Sunday the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Ir.dian■Rpolis sebt east from Indianapolis eight freight Srtiins. hauling 167 loaded cars, which was the ■argest east-bound movement of any day in the Eistory of the i*oad, it is officially stated. April 1, the new time schedule on r *the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield road (takes effect, one train leaving Indianapolis at 7 A. M., a scoud train at 5:30 p. m.

George Rtissell, one of the oldest and most capable yardmasters at this point, has decided to the position of general yard master of the Wabash, at Detroit, Mich., which are the Sost important yards on the Wabash system. r. Russell will receive a much handsomer salary f an lie has been paid at Indianapolis. T e ticket-scalpers are a good deal disheartened. The Chicago & Alton people, whom they i..iva looked upon as their best friends, have nos tied each scalper at this point that they will ~ ot pay them commission on any tickets sold in .\rch <?r any sold in the future, but will pay all commissions to regular passenger agents. H. B. Hammond, receiver of the 1., D. & S. >oad, under date of March 31, issues the following notice. “On and after April 1, 1885, the officers of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield railway will be as follows: G. W. Bender, jraperintendent; J. S. Lazarus, general freight tnd passenger agent; J. V. McNeal, auditor; R. £. F. Peirce, general solicitor.

Commissioner Fink yesterday telegraphed M. 3L. Doherty, commissioner of the Indianapolis [ east-bound pool, asking him to be present at the ' meetings to be held in Chicago this week. It is I stated that Mr. Doherty stands high as a railroad man in the estimation of Commissioner ► Fink, his best characteristic being that he is a Strong advocate for maintaining rates on a paying basis. H. R. Dering, assistant general passenger aigent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsimrg. yesterday received a letter from W. B. Wright, the alleged defaulting ticket agent at ' JShelbyville, Ind., in which he said he would return in a short time and straighten his affairs ali aip. The letter was written from Double Springs, ?Tex..'Bnd dated March 25. Had he not returned, the railroad company would have lost nothing, s his bondsmen were good for his shortage. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, since dts organization, has increased in membership at £ rapid rate. According to a statement made on Feb. 1, 1885, the average monthly increase in membership is 407. At that date the membership was 111,957, and With.the fiew lodges organized by Mr. Stephens, now in the West, tho number is increased beyond 14,000. The membership Aug. 1, 1884, was 12.24 G, which shows an increase to date of about 2,000, and probably more. An easy method of facilitating tho removal of 9ime scale from the fire-boxes and flues of loco■'ives has been discovered by B. Warren, master mechanic of the Indianapolis. Bloomington & Western railroad. He painted them with petroleum paint for the purpose cf preventing the formation of this scale. While it did not prevent it. the paint rendered its removal easy, a tap of a hammer being sufficient to clear a flue ®f scale that would ordinarily require two or Shree hours to remove. Assuming mi Ugly Phase. --t Matter;) are not running along so smoothly between the Union Pacific and the Central Pa■mifie as would seem desirable where the interests are so mutual. The Union Pacific people Iwre always complained of the dictatorial ways of their Central Pacific friends. Holding the •nd of the line, Huntington and his partners Fave claimed to bo masters of the situation and bare insisted on taking the lion's share of all good contracts and leaving the lion’s share of •tii.) bad ones to the Union Pacific. When iC’harles Francis Adams became president of the |fcr.ion Pacific he resolved to place his road, if possible, on a footing of equality with the Central. He now threatens, if his demands are not complied with, to send pnssengers and freight by tho Oregon Short Line to Portland and thence by sea to San Francisco. This threat is hardly '"t&alculated to terrify Mr. Towne, but he meets it by opening negotiations with the Denver & Rio Grande and the Denver & Rio Grande Western. Which have lines from Ogden to Denver, and arjth tin* Bui iingion os Missouri and the Chicago, >r )gut iington Quincy, which have lines from iKphrer to Chicago. The Denver & Rio Graude is in the hands M a receiver, and can ; werefore be approached with advantage. Its SJDwnerr would probably be delighted to have the Central Pacific lay a third rail from Ogden to Denver, so as to have anew unbroken standardly tge road from Chicago to San Francisco.

Important Events of the Week. Events of great importance to railroad interests are to occur this week. Several important meetings will be held in Chicago; one, that of w presidents and general managers of the roads ffn thf trunk line pool An attempt will doubtless be /nade to whip the Grand Trunk and the 1., SK L. &a back into the pool traces. However, Traffic Manager Reeves, of the Grand Trunk road, says- “We are firm in our purpose do go out <*f the trunk line pool, unless some conjseasio4s to\the advantage of our line and to the vantage pf Chicago are made. It is not to fthe *> Went age allotted us in fche pool, so much p* thdjuvAeutiug ot trade running in its legiti-

mate channels through Chicago, to which we object; 20 per cent, will be of little advantage to us if the trunk linee send their freight around Chicago, so as to strike their lines at junction points." And President Ingalls, of thsC., I. St. L. & C., is more determined than the Grand Trunk people to have his rights, or cut loose from the pool for good. Mr. Ingalls maintains, and rightfully, too, that if a Northwestern shipper chooses to forward freights via Seneca, and save a twenty-four hours’ or thirty-six hours’ delay at Chicago, he has a perfect right so to do, and at as reasonable rates. Another event of the week, and occupying the attention of the railway world, is the meeting of the arbitrators appointed by the roads in the Western Truns-line Association to dispose of various vexatious questions affecting that pool, and to be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel Thursday. The" Northwestern road has steadily refused to appoint an arbitrator to meet with those chosen by the other lines, and, according to the rules of the organization, it became necessary for the other lines to select one for that road. The arbitrators have, therefore, chosen Mr. Andrew Crawford, who has just re turned from the Booth. He was first reqeusted to serve for the Union Pacific, and then the St. Paul road, but declined because he had some pleasure in view. Since ‘h-m he has accepted the offer made him by the other arbitrators. He is a man of superior judgment, experience, and ability, having been prominently connected with the Chicago & Western Indiana and Belt-line roads during the early stages of their existence. The Chicago and Ohio River pool also hold a meeting this week, at which several important questions will come up for discussion. Trouble in Prospect. There is considerable commotion among the live-stock agents at this point. The C., H. &1., in connection with the Nickel-plate road, is getting a large per cent, of the Buffalo live-stock traffic at the expense of the 1., B. & W. and Bee-line. It is stated that investigation shows that indirectly a cut in rates is made. The stock cars they are using over the C., H. & I. and Nickel-plate are four feet longer than those used over the Bee-line or 1., B. & W., consequently carrying a few thousand pounds more of live stoex, and. as it is billed out without weighing, the same tonnage is reported as is carried by the cars of 28.000 pounds capacity. The shippers have caught on to this fact, and for some days past there has been quite a boom in live stock traffic over the (J., H. & I. road. It is stated that the difference in length of cars is that of getting the live stock usually loaded into five cars into four of the 0., H. & I. cars. Comfort for the Scalpers. J. H. Martin, district passenger agent of the C., 1., St. L. & C., under date of March 28, has received the following communication from a Union Pacif c railway official: “Dear Sir —Referring to your communication of this date, relative to the Indianapolis associa tion, requesting all agents to desist from the payment of commisfjions to scalpers or other than r egular ticket agents, I have to say that as our agent at Indianapolis, Mr. A. S. Burgess, has been sot some time lying at the point of death, and may liot be able to be out for two or three weeks, you are hereby authorized to sign this agreement for the Union Pacific Railway Company, dating from April 1, and as long as our competitors will keep good faith with this agreement, the Union Pacific will strictly adhere to it. Jas. D. Welsh.” All important Wes tern connection are now m embers of the association. Handsome Earnings. The earnings of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road in the week ending March 22 wore $00,221.57. In this statement the earnings of what was formerly the St. Louis division of the 1., B. & W., now the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield roqd, were not included. On the three divisions which are included, namely, the Peoria division, the Middle division and the Ohio division, there is an increase of $10,027.42 over earnings of these three divisions corresponding week 1884, and it is said the earnings of the fourth week promise to be more favorable even than those of the third week. All the power the company has and all the cars they can command are in service.

The L K. & W. Extension. Special to the Indianapo’is Journal. Bloomington, 111., March 30.—J. H. Cheney, vice-president and general manager of the Lake Erie & Western railway, says that the injunction served on Saturday, to prevent the consolidation of the Lake Erie & Western and the Lake Erie & Mississippi, would not place any embargo on the extension from Bloomington to Peoria, The surveyors are still at work locating the line. On Saturday, April 4, a motion to disolve the injunction will be argued before Judge Reeves. Miscellaneous Notes. It is said that $37,000,000 out of the $50,000,000 bonds of the West Shore Have agreed upon a reorganization plan. The Southern Kansas road now allows ten head of horses, cattle or mules, instead of only six, to be loaded in a car of emigrant outfit. The road is experiencing a boom in emigrant business. The Chicago and Grand Trunk, tho Grand Trunk of Canada and the Vermont Central roads have arranged for a fast-freight line between Boston and Chicago. Two trains each way daily are to be run on a schedule of ninety hours. For the occasion of tho memorial services of the twentieth anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln, to be held at Springfield, 111., Wednesday, April 15, the Chicago <fc Alton railroad will make an excursion rate of $3 from Chicago to Springfield and return. There is talk among Nickel plate bondholders of taking the road and ruTiuing it against Lake Shore, but the talk can hardly be serious. A road without & beginning or end —that is, without terminals—would be a harmless competitor; at least harmless to everything but itself. During last February 1,188 Pullman coaches arrived and left New Orleans on regular trains, and this number does not include the special coaches furnished excursion or private parties. Put the number of special or private coaches at 120, not an esetesive estimate, and at least 1,308 Pullman cart were handled in New Orleans over all the roads. The engineer in charge of road improvements of the Northern Pacific in the National Park states that the new road to the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, which follows the Gardner river; the new road up the canyon of the Gardner to Swan lake, avoiding the hills, as also the bridge over the third crossing of the Gibbon river, will be completed and ready for use June 1. The hotels will be opened June 15. The South Pennsylvania railroad, now in process of construction, is meeting with considerable opposition from the Lake Shore, the Pittsburg & Bake Erie, and the Philadelphia & Reading companies. These corporations are guarantors of certain obligations of tho South Pennsylvania line, under a traffic contract, and a number of the stockholders of the three roads have beeomo dissatisfied with the existing agreement. It is hardly thought that the dissatisfaction will assume sufficient proportions to stop the work on the new road, although the opposition is pronounced and determined. Habeas Corpus Proceedings. Margaret Holden, wife of Moore Holden, has filed a writ of habeas corpus to recover possession of her minor child, Ballard McLaughlin, which she gave by written agreement to George Herman. In the contract, the child, issue by a former marriage, was to bo legally adopted by Herman, and she alleges that she signed a paper believing it to be to that effect, but which proved to be otherwise. That in the conditions of the adoption she was to see the child once a week, and that Herman has refused to let her see the child, and threatens to make the child forget its parentage. The case has been assigned to Judge Walker's room. Vitality of Great Mea Is notal ways innate op born with them, but many instances are known where it has been acquired by the persistent and judicious uso of Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, MARCH 81, 1885.

DANGEROUS CLASSES OF SOCIETY. The Methodist Ministers Discuss Them and Suggest Remedies for Existing Evils. The Methodist ministers of this city met yesterday morning, and discussed the question, “Who Is Responsible for the Dangerous Classes in Society?” Rev. E. W. S. Hammond read a paper, in which he maintained that the illiterate and intemperate classes were the most dangerous. “The gTowth of society,” said he, “has developed a series of dangers which threaten the Nation. Seventeen per cent, of our population can neither read nor write. Illiteracy threatens to blight our civilization. It is the fruitful source of all our dangers. We cannot rely on the safety of our institutions, or expect a substantial progress in matters of civil policy while the ignorant class holds the balance of power. That we are reaping the fruits of governmental indifference is not strange. To-day the custodians of our liberty are clamoring for the spoils of office. Who is responsible? The men who hold the national right of suffrage should be intelligently qualified for the proper exercise of the same. The government must educate the ignorant. Make the spelling-book the scepter of power, and you will emancipate the country from the hands of demagogues. Again, intemperance endangers our social, moral and political happiness. It is the blot on our national escutcheon, for the government sanctions the sale and manufacture of strong drink. The liquor tax necessitates an army of officers, who stand in solid phalanx to resist the friends of temperance, by corrupting the ballot. The government is responsible for the great evil which it protects. The army of criminals, organized for deeds of lawlessness and violence, that has for its object the desecration of the Sabbath, and the subversion of morality and virtue, should be antagonized by all good citizens. The liquor oligarchy steadily grows more arrogant, and now assumes to dictate in matters of public- policy. It would determine the destiny of our great political parties, and, entrenching itself behind the national authority, is to-day gradually tightening its hideous coils. The equivocal, vacillating attitude of our temperance organizations, the conspicuous silence of the pulpit, timidity of leading newspapers, moral cowardice of legislators and general apathy of the best citizens, all contribute to the success of humanity’s greatest foe. The remedy is the intelligent use of the ballot and the fusion of the scattered forces and friends of temperance, without regard to party. When statesmen and legislators rise to the dignity of their calling and citizens do their duty the evil will be eradicated. Great responsibility rests on the pulpit. It must not abate interest in all questions of public welfare, but take a bold stand on al-i questions of moral aud political prosperity. The pulpit must cease to tolerate those who pander to morbid sentimentalism, in order to gain political favor. The trumpet of the pulpit must have no uncertain sound on the question of popular amusements. The way to reach the masses, elevate society, dignify labor, and preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath is to advocate the pure gospel of humanity and divine love. The press also has its responsibilities. A pure press is the ‘buttress of our social fabric, but if it be the tool of ft corporation, or vehicle of personal spite and revenge, nothing can be more dangerous. The press Vuusi work for a pure, efficient government, and not apologize for weakness or corruption in tho offices of public trust and emolument.” Rev. T. A. Goodwin followed in a few remarks on intemperance, the prevalence of which he attributed to the church in part, political parties in part, and principally a weak and undecided public sentiment. Rev. Dr. Lynch took the position that the Democratic party, which he called the whisky party, owed its success to the desertion of the temperance people from its friend, the Republican party, and that it was not difficult to establish the political responsibility for intemperance. A spirited discussion, consuming the remainder of the session, ensued be tween Messrs. Goodwin and Lynch. The subject for next Monday will be “The Outlook for the Speedy Evangaiization of tho World,” Dr. Marine being essayist. The following resolutions were adopted:

Whereas, Rev. K. W. S. Hammond, presiding elder of the Indiana District of the Lexington Conference, is now closing his time on the district, and meets with us this morning for the last time ns a member of the preachers’ meeting, therefore, Resolved, That in our intercourse with him we have found him a scholarly, Christian gentleman, and a loyal, earnest and eloquent Methodist preacher, and it is with sincere regret that we part from him. Earnestly do we recommend him to the confidence of the church at large, and feel assured that, in the future, as in the past, he will do grand work for the Master. A Household Treasure. Says n shrewd writer,, ‘‘only let a wife know she is precious to her husband, and she will be to him and hor to her children a well spring of happiness.” There is good sense in this. And there is good sense in preserving your wife's health so that she may be happy. Many women are cruelly run down by work and worry; but hardly any are beyond the power of Brown’s Iron Bitters to restore. Mrs. L. D. Hamilton, Bedford, 0., says: “I derived permanent good from using Brown’s Iron Bitters as a tonic" for general debility.”

IT CAME SUDDENLY! IT WENT PROMPTLY 1 • Bkhmond, Indiana, is a busy place, with its yarious manufacturing industries j and one of the busiest men in it is Mr. A. E. Crocker, who is known throughout all Indiana as a prosperous real estate and Insurance man. lie is a gentleman in middle life of great vitality, and of very active temperament. Over a year ago, owing to severe overwork and great exposure, he was suddenly prostrated with sciatic rheumatism, To one of our correspondents, who visited him at his office a lew weeks ago, Mr. Crocker told the story of his illness and recovery. Said he: “ I had been working very "hard; much harder and more continuously than any man ought to work. I had been much exposed to the severity of the winter weather. My health had been so good that I was probably not as careful as I should have been, relying on my strong constitution to carry me through anything and everything. One cold day, last winter, I was unexpectedly taken with an acute pain, which I fell in my knee while stooping. The pain extended rapidly through thigh, stomach, head and brain. The doctor, who attended me, said it was a remarkable case of sciatic rheumatism, lie gave me a variety of medicines, the result of which was but slight and temporary relief. I suffered intensely, and was for a while laid aside from business, and confined to my bed. My case was evidently one requiring more powerful and efficient remedy than the doctor had brought to bear on it. “ After some weeks of suffering, I saw an advertisement of Athlophoros. On a venture, and supposing that anyhow it could not make me any worse than I was, I bought a bottle. The eflect of the first few doses of this medicine was wonderful. Belief came almost immediately. My sciatica went away almost as quickly as it came. To have such relief as this medicine gave as gratifying as it was unexpected. I took nearly a bgttle of Athlophoros, which cured me so completely that I have lot, since that time, had occasion to take any medicine at all. I have recommended this to a great many friends, and I have heard nothing but good words spoken of it. I think no medcine is like it for removing rheumatism and scattering sciatica.” Although druggists sell hundreds of different kinds of medicines, it sometimes happens that one particular remedy accomplishes so mucli good that it stands pre-eminently above ail the others, and by reason of its real merit attracts conspicuous attention to itself. This is the case with Athlophoros, the new remedy for rheumatism. In the two or three years during which this remedy has been before the public it has made a shining mark in working cures, the reports of which have in great numbers found their way to the druggists who sold the medicine. (Jailing on A. Q. Luken & Cos., of Richmond, Indiana, our correspondent found that this was eminently the case at their establishment, which is a leading drug house in that busy city. Mr. Luken said: “ Athlophoros is doing a good work. We hear of a great many cases of cure, even though inmost instances we do not hear of the names, which is principally because we have taken no special measures to secure them. But there are a great many of our customers who have been so well pleased with it that they have come for more. Old Mrs. Morse, a widow lady of eighty-six years, has taken six or eight bottles of it. Os course, you know it cannot be expected entirely to drive out an old and deeply-seated case of rheumatism like liers, but it lias greatly relieved her pain. Then there is Mr. Crocker, the insurance and. real estate agent, whom everybody in Richmond knows. He was a very sick man, but it made him well. And there are a number of others right here in town. Out of town there arc many. Mr. L. W. Ricliy, the druggist, at New Paris, Ohio, not far from here, can tell you of several. So can Mr. W. F. Robertson, at Whitewater, Indiana. The popularity of Athlophoros seemß to be based on actual merit, and there is no denying the fact that it has made its mark among the people as an efficient remedy for rheumatism, neuralgia, and sciatica.”

THE JOURNAL-1885 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL la recognized everywhere as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper oxpense will be spared ia the future to maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the nows of the day are more complete than ever, and we are adding some 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, whidh are 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. The national administration has passed into the control of the Democratic party, and the fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will bo presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. The new State administration took charge of affairs with the beginning of the new year. The Democratic Legislature is yet 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 papefr, 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 tv purpose lor good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. Tho citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing 'ln the columns of THE JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such commdht and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also be 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 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 news will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and its editorial and local columns will be kept free from moral taint. Tho Railroad Newß of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country.

SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOtJRNAL 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. I?. Aldrich, Frank R. 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 the Journal. The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in other papers of the State 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 heucefdrth the SUNDAY JOURNAL will be enlarged to Twelve Pages and will be hold for FiVe Cents, and will be sent to every town and city in the State of Indiana and surrounding territory. The circulation of the Sunday edition is the largest hn<l best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has inade itself the People’s Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL is without competitor in the State in the character and variety of matter it presents its readers. The best writers in the Stats and the country freely Contribute to its columns. In itte enlarged and improved form it will be absolutely without a rival or peer. TIIE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL. (weekly edition) Is the best secular paper published in the Statb It is a complete compendium of the nows of tht week, with special foaturcs of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. la these respects THE WEEKLY JOURNAL Is 1 superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the. field it covers is infinitely more oxtensive than that which can be occupied by any special class publication.
