AJFFAIJKS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Personal and Loeal. President King, of the Erie, says be has no Idea of resigning, as some of tha New York papers have reported. The Vandalia company has established a separata agency at Plymouth, IncL, and has appointed A. L. Bingham agent The many friends of Uncle Billy Jackson, as he is familiarly known, will regret to learn that his illness is taking on a serious character. Superintendent Woodard, of the L., N. A. & C- system, is this week, with his corps of assist ants, making a carefni inspection of the mad. Today he will pass over the Indianapolis division. It is stated officially that the L., N. A. & C. Airline has arranged to continue its local work at the Wabash freight depot and in the Wabash yards at this point. “Asa matter of fact,’’ say s oae of the Wabash officials, “we need their money room than we do the room.” The New York commissioners of railroads propose to examine and test, through competent engineers, each of the 3.500 wood or iron railroad bridges in the State. New York is the first £tate to adopt this plan, suggested in 1875 by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Train and yard men of the Pennsylvania lines whose headquarters are Indianapolis, will next week be subjected to the color-blind test. An engineer on the east end who has been running ■early twenty-five years, was dropped a few days since on account of defective eyesight. An Indianapolis scalper learned a day or two before the advance of rates from Indianapolis to Baltimore what was going on, and purchased Jorty-two tickets at $18.95 and, as the rate js now 424.75, he is worrying competitors of the lines over which these tickets read by occasionally •ailing one. Traffic Manager John Lazarus, of the 1., D. & 8. road, is on the alert for business. He has now effected a traffic arrangement by which the Peoria & Rock Island, the Peoria, Decatur & Evensville, the L, P. & S. and C., H. & D. establish a fast through freight line, both east and ‘west-bound, between Cincinnati and Davenport, lowa. If reports are true, the Traders’ Dispatch is punch more of a freight demoralizer than either the Lackawanna or West Shore fast freight lines. Eight cents per 100 pounds on lumber, Indianapolis to Buffalo, or 10 cents per 100 pounds on grain to the seaboard, terminal charges to bo deducted, leave a very small margin for the initial lino. Notwithstanding the fact that C., C., C. & L (Bee-line) stock is quoted at twenty-seven points, a party who is anxious to buy some of the stock at that figure cannot get hold of it. That certain parties are endeavoring to bear the stock to secure it in large blocks is daily becoming mare evident. The laere holders of it. however, iisve too much confidence in the future of the read to let go. In commenting on the fast trains recently put 9m between New York and the West, a New York financial paper says these trains will prove a •toasMing-biook in the way of settlement of the fmbles. Roads that are unable to make the time will clamor for greater differentials than they ever had before to enable them to obtain their share of the business. The low rates, in tan, will interfere with the natural distribution of traffic. The resignation of A. H. Evans, division superintendent of the Western division of the New Yrk, Chicago & St Louis railway, whose headquarters are in Fort Wayne. Ind., is announced, 'to take effect June 10. Mr. C. D. Gorham, formosly es the Pennsylvania, Chicago & Northwestern, and later general superintendent of the &ew York, West Shore & Buffalo railway, is to be his successor. Mr. Evans was for three years superintendent of the C., H. & 1., and is a very competent railroad man. The Iron Age, on evening of pools, says: “The pool system of railway management has broken down, and now we have as official public acknowledgment of the fact by Pool Commissioner fc'ink in his examination before the United States Senate committee. Wnen interrogated on the nuhject last week, Mr. Fink acknowledged that BNlPything had gone to pieces. At another time he admitted that at no lime since the percentage table was formulated bad it been possible to eecnre its enforcement. These and like admispiens are highly significant. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company continue their expo riments with lighting their cars with electricity from Brush storage batteriea. They use the lights on a train running between Altoona and Pittsburg, and the arrangement has •worked satisfactorily. The storage batteries are charged in the company’s shops by connection with a Brush dyoamo-electric machine, it takes •boat nine hours running to charge the batteries with sufficient electricity for the round trip. The intention is, should the plan be found adwiaible for general use on through trains, to establish electric plants at different stations for charging the batteriea

V arther Reduction In West-Bound Rates Imminent. Rumors are curreut that there is to be another eat in West bound rates. The following table ■hows the reduction in West-bound rates since #U. 1: FROM NEW YORK TO CHICAGO. Ist Class. 2d Class. 3d Class. 4th Claes. Special. Cts. Cts. Cts. Cta. Cts.

The Philadelphia Press says: •*lt is a physical imposibility for the West Shore, (jackawanna & Ohio and Erie to compete with tbo New York Central and Pennsylvania, and •11 the business of the first-namod roads must be •t a rate below the latter. Wheu the cut becomes so marked that the Central and Pennsylvania notice a loss of business, they meet the lower rate, and each time this Is done the point # demoralization is approached more closely. It is now conceded that the older roads will at once meet passenger and freight cuts as soon as they are made, so that the junior roads will have harder work to get business than ever before. If so they are likely to fare badly on through traffic for somo time.”

On* of the Weak Placet in Railway Operation*. Under the head '‘American Scenery,” the Financier says: “President Adams, of the Union Pacific railroad, has set an excellent example to Other railway managers in giving to the stockholders a report which has the unusual merit of oonprehenaiveness and clearness. Everything relating to the property is told, and nothing left hidden. The curse of railway manipulation in the United States is the secresy with which boards of directors conduct the business of the ■toekholders. Important leases are made with ont the knowledge of the real owners of the property, and all sorts of engagements entered into without consulting any one outside of the directorate. And when the crash comes —as it often does in American railway corporations—there has to be made an exhibit which startles the stockholders. We believe that the public discussion of railway affairs in this country—a discussion which is participated in by the newspapers and public officials—is healthful and proper” _ Ills ty** Are “Sot.” Pressure has been brought to bear, it is said, apon E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, from all directions, to induce him to restore passenger gates, but he seems determined to push the war until all hands cry enough. The Chicago Trfc trane of yesterday says: “The hopes entertained few the Pennsylvania's competitors that General Agent Ford could be induced to withdraw his notice to Western connections, allowing paeaa to base their rat eg on the sl7 rale from Chitag* to New York and Philadelphia,have not Wen ■ealized. Mr. Ford telegraphed in reply to Chairman Moore's request, that he would not gtaall bis notice, but would allow them to base

their rates on whatever the prevailing rates were from Chicago, which means he will meet any rate made." Takes a Dark View of the Situation. E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Beeline system, who was In the city yesterday, takes rather a gloomy view of the situation with railroads, and says he sees no relief near at hand. The shrewdest railroad men are at sea as to what steps can be taken to put the brakes upon the general demoralization on rates that is sweeping over the country. The Nicklo plate had sapped the life blood from the Lake Shore, the West Shore was slaughtering rates at the expense of the New York Central, and soon the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would, through the South Pennsylvania road, now building, have the 6ame clnss of railroads to deal with, and paralleling railways was being carried on to soch an extent that the oldest and best roads, financially, in the country could not long stand up under it. The Pennsylvania road might, with its immense system of feeders and large surplus of rrorey, withstand such unhealthy competition, but there were widows and orphans owning stocks and bonds of other roads in this country who must suffer. lie then mentioned a case right in point. Last summer he spent a few weeks on Cape Cod. He fell in with an old sta captain, who retired from a seaman's life some fifteen years ago, with some $40,000, most of which he invested in stocks and bonds of Western roads. The stock has long since been wiped out by the Western railroad wreckers, and the bonds, most of them, were in a fair way to be wiped out of existence, and had paid no dividends for several years, and now he, the captain, was preparing for seafaring life, to endeavor to make up some of the losses he had made in railroad investments West. Said Mr. Thomas, the country is full of persons who are suffering for the interest on their bonds and dividends on their stock. Meantime, rates are so low that the revenue derived from both passenger and freight business barely furnished money enough to pay operating expenses and keep road-bed and equipments in condition to move the traffic. Said Mr. Thomas, were the old roads in the country to make the imnrovements needed it wouldset every rolling-mill, bridge and heavy structural iron works, locomotive works and car works in full operation, and with this every manufacturing interest in the country would be benefitted; but the present rates yield no revenue which enabled them to enter into contracts. Railroad manaagers were all keeping close to the shore. Business was light, rates low, and he could see no bright spot for railroads for many months to come. Some plan, said he, must be devised, which will insure better rates and their maintenance. He favored making rates public by posting them in business marts, and the paying of a heavy penalty by any road which directly or indirectly cut a rate, and no advance in rates should be made until shippers had been notified a reasonable time of such change. Then there should be a stop put to this paralleling railroads to destroy good railroad properties. A county road was never built unless it was shown that such a road was really needed. Neither should a railroad be built unless it was really necessary for the transportation interests of the country. It would be much better for the traveling publie and the shippers had the money put into buying parallel lines or fighting them been put into improving road-beds and equipments of the old lines, putting on additional trains, etc.

C., R. I. & P. Annual Meeting. Chicago, June 3.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway was held here to-day, when 367,000 votes were cast out of a total of 419,600. The following directors were elected: David Dows, R. R. Cable, Hugh Riddle, H. R. Bishop and Sidney Dillon. The directors subsequently elected the following officers: R. R. Cable, president; David Dows, vice-president; A. J. Kimball, second vice president; W. G. Purdy, secretary and treasurer, vice W. H. Tave, resigned on account of ill health; J. R. Corning, assistant secretary and treasurer. It was decided to move the office of secretary and treasurer from New York to Chicago. C., C. & L C. Stockholders. Columbus, June 3. —At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the C., C. & I. C. Railway Company the following directors were elected: J. T. Brooks, S. B. Liggett, Joh. W. Renner, William Mullins and William Stewart. All the directors are Pittsburg men, and will probably organize in that city. Miscellaneous Notes. Six new stations on the lino of the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk railroad were opened for business June 1. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul officials say that they are undecided whether they will appeal from the arbitrator's decision awarding percentages in the Northwest Association or not. The New York Indicator says the investor who has kept posted is aware that there were 512 inhabitants to every mile of road in 1879, against 385 now, while rates have decreased in like proportion, and exercises great care in his purchases. The annual meeting of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company will be held at Chicago to-day. As the fiscal year does not end until May 31, the yearly report is not expected to be ready for four or five weeks. The rate of dividends on the common stock will probably be 3£ per cent The $20,000,000 mortgage of the South Pennsylvania railroad filed Tuesday, in Pittsburg, Pa., indicates that the managers of this Droject mean business in pushing the road to completion. It may also be remarked that it means business in the usual line of piling upon a big capitalization as the superstructure of the project. The gross earnings of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad during April were $1,297,824; expenses, $736,066; net earnings, $561,758, being a decrease of $25,878 in net earnings from April, 1884. The net earnings fer the four months ending with April were $2,047,666. or $453,088 less than the corresponding time in 1884. Amongst the reasons given by the Philadelphia Press for the decline in the shares of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is “the very large emigration which has been in progress for a year past from the counties of this State along the line of the road, as well ns a more or less general fall in the price of farm lands.” Boston papers suggest that Mr. Vanderhilt, in building the South Pennsylvania, has adopted the tactics of the Ni kel-plate aud the West Shore, and the Pennsylvania in turn seems to be copying the tactics of the New York Central against the West Shore. But the Pennsylvania has a more difficult problem to deal with, as the New York Central is in a different position from the West Shore. Another difficult problem to solve is the competition of the Chesapeake & Ohio, which has a direct line to the tidewater at Newport News from the West, and can demoral ize the rates unless it is iuduced to join the trunk-line combination.

Criminal Court Cases. In the Criminal Court yesterday, John Flick entered a plea of guilty to an indictment charging him with conspiracy to commit a burglary. He was sentenced to the penitentiary for two years, but on account of his age, sixteen years, it is probable that Prosecuting Attorney Harding will recommend to the Governor a transfer of Flick to the House of Refugo. An assault and battery case growing out of Constables Glass and Rhcinhold’s attempt to arrest a man at the Museum, in which Robert Emmet, a private watchman, is charged with assaulting the constables, was heard and taken under advisement. Pretty Finger-hails. Trim them; polish them; scrape them; and fix them all you please, yet they never will be truly beautiful unless the circulation of the blood is healthy, and the blood itself in perfect order. Look at the finger-nails of the debilitated person who suffers from lack of nervous energy. They look waxy and lifeless. Secure rich blood and perfect circulation by nsing Brown’s Iron Bitters. Mr. Wm. Welsh, Lexington. Mich., says, *‘l was reduced almost to a skeleton. 1 used Brown's Iron Bitters and now weigh 170 pounds."

A USELESS FUND. The State Auditor Discovers that the Uni* versity Endowment Fund Cannot be used. The Auditor of State has discovered that there is no authority for using the permanent endowment fund of the State University, and inconsequence, the institution will probably lose the benefit of the interest. The statute creating the fund provides that the money shall be used to pay off the State’s interest-bearing in deb ted’jess, and for the use of the fund in this way the State shall pay 5 per cent, interest to the university. The State has no interest-bearing indebtedness now, and there is no provision for putting the fund to any other use, unless it should be loaned in the same manner that the college fund is. The Auditor says, however, that hs “is not going to turn his office into a mortgage-loan agency.” The fund now amounts to about SOO,OOO, and as the tax which goes into it is continuous, the sum will bo increased from year to year. The money will be unavailable, however, and the State University will get no benefit from it. The State Treasurer, however, can probably get a snug little profit out of the handling of it.

The New Insane Hospitals. . The commissioners of the new Insane Hospitals met, yesterday, for the purpose of awarding the contract for putting the steam heating apparatus in the new buildings, but they were unable to reach any decision. The bids include plans and specifications for different kinds of work, the merits of which will be considered more than the costs, in the award of the contract There are eleven bidders, and the proposals aro all within the estimated cost of the work. Yesterday’s Fire. The adjoining stables of Julius Mannfeld, No. 2G Park avenue, and the Rev. Max G. I. Stern, of No. 30 the same avenue, were destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. Loss about four hundred dollars. Adolph Seidensticker’s stable, adjacent to that of Sterns’s, was damaged to the extent of SSO. Early yesterday morning a fire in the cellar of Lieber’B picture frame factory on Madison avenue, caused a small loss. Dr. Munhall at Atlanta. The Atlanta Constitution, of Tuesday, says: “The services in the great tabernacle yesterday showed no abatement of the great interest manifested in them on Sunday. The whole city is talking of the meetings and of the currents of thought they set in the community. They will be continued every afternoon and every night this week, except Saturday. The afternoon services are very interesting as well as those in the evening.” An Illegal Arrest. The young colored man, Alfred Dnval, who was arrested night before last, charged with obstructing the sidewalk, and who says one of the officers struck him with hia mace, was discharged by the mayor. The arresting officers, Bruce and Reed, not Haley and Slate, as one of the morning papers had it, received an intimation from the mayor that the arrest was illegal. Officers Haley and Slate had nothing to do with the affair. The First National Bank Case. Yesterday the taking of the testimony in the case of Wm. Needham, et al. against JohngC. New, et al., began with that of F. A. W. Davis, by whom the plaintiffs seek to establish the alleged incorrectness of the daily statement of the First National Bank at the time the stock of that concern was purchased by the Indiana Banking Company. Mr. Davis was on the stand throughout the day.

A Notorious Hank Burglar. When the prison officers at Michigan City saw Charles Browne, the Jeffersonville postoffice burglar, sentenced at the May term of the federal court to four years imprisonment in the penitentiary, they at once recognized him as an escaped convict, who had served a term of seven years. His real name, they say, is John Edwards, and he is a noted bank burglar. Work of the Postoffice. During May there were 2,599 registered letters delivered in Indianapolis, 404.933 letters, and 80,490 postal cards, besides 48,936 local letters, and 43,857 postal cards. The mail collected by the carriers included 219,514 letters, 05,798 postal cards, and 22,984 uewspapers. Superior Court. Room 2 —lion. D. \V. Howe, Judge.

I had been unable to lie down in bed for two years. My horrible suffering cannot be described. Wheezing and gasping for breath, often a smothering feeling, which alarmed me greatly. When suffering and struggling for breath I often indulged in the dreadful apprehension that the gates of death were opening, and that I might not live to see daylight.
