AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. IVritoiial ami Local. Further reduction in the number of employes %t shops on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chirajro road has been ordered. W. S. Taylor has been appointed agent of the Great Western Dispatch, Erie & Pacific Dispatch, and South Shore Line, at Rochester, W. Y. In the mo. th of July the Pennsylvania Company handled at Indianapolis 19,671 cars: there ■were loaded and unloaded at the city freight depot* 2,306 cars. Shipments of wheat from this section to St Ixmis are still immense, and promise to be for some time to crime, as St Louis is paying better imees than the seaboard markets. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cleveland & Mahoning Valley railroad was held yesterday. John Todd. Joseph B. l'erkins, and in. B. Sanders, all of Cleveland, were elected directors for three years. Indianapolis is again taking its position as a grain market On Tuesday the receipts of grain by rail reached 163,754 bushels, and the receipts promise to increase largely as wneat and oats of tfcr new crop begin to move freely. The 1., B. Sc W. people have commenced the •ivction of simps on the West Side, and already kn*e one building up, sixty feet wide by 100 feet long, and are putting in some $15,000 worth of iu?w machinery. Other buildings will Jhe erected as fast us the finances of the company wiil allow. P. H. Murphy has been appointed master mechanic of the roads operated by the St Louis, Alton Sc Terre Haute Railroad Company, vice R. JA- Pringle resigned. Mr. Murphy will have charge of the rolling stock, shops and machinery of the company, with headquarters at East St. lnmis. la the month of July there arrived and departed at the Union Depot 3,177 passenger trains, of which number eight were excursion trains nn6 four special trains. Os the 1,582 regular trains which arrived, thirty-two trains were late, which is an unusually large number for a sumMirr month. Tho C., 1., St. L. * & C. and the Chicago & Rock Island are arranging for a grand excursion to Colfax Springs, the Saratoga of the Wt The fare will be but $lO for the round trip. There are the best of hotel accommodations there, and everything will be done to make tbs trip a pleasant one. Contiguous efforts are being made to adjust important questions connected with the raovemeit of east bound through traffic from all the leading Western trade centers, and it is probable that this entire business will soon be placed on a satisfactory basis. In fact, it is now nearer so than at any time for years. KJ. M. Landis returned yesterday from the Jiae meeting. Mr. Landis states that hereafter adl line meetings are to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., unless directed to some other point by a vote of Jiee managers. Holding lino meetings at two different points, as the present month, proved to be * bad move. Tho attendance at both meetings w* small and neither could transact much business. The four roads in tho Peoria east hound pool held a meeting in Peoria on Tuesday, to investigate the alleged cutting of rates. They decided that the charge of cutting by any Peoria members of the pool was false, and that the roads hud all been living up to the agreement. It was resolved to use all possible influence with the Illinois Midland, which does not belong to the pool, to prevent it cutting rates in connection with the White Line fast freight. Several official changes took effect yesterday on tho Missouri Pacific road. The office of assistant superintendent at Kansas City is abol ished Mr. F. B. Drake is appointed assistant superintendent of the Missouri Pacific railway, and of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railway (north of Denison), with office at Sedailia. Mr. Iff. C. Straight is appointed division superintendent of the Western division of the Missouri Pacific railway, with office at Kansas City. A warm personal friend of John B. Carson •ays the statement that he had been nffeied the position of vice president and general manager f Major Henning’s Florida system of railways was correct, but he has declined to accept the position, and within the last week the position has been offered to H. R. Duval, late general manager of the Erie fast freight lines, and he lias expressed a willingness to accept, providing certain conditions can be carried out relating to the finances of the company. The Pennsylvania Company, operating the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad, have ior some time contemplated the removal of their Eteubenville shops to Columbus. On July 15 the first installment of employes, thirty-eight in •number, was sent to Columbus, where they begun work in the now shops. This leaves but sixty six men employed at the Steubenville shops. The remaining portion of the workmen will go in about four w’eeks, which will wind up the Panhandle car shops, so far as Steubenville is concerned.

Superintendent Woodard, of the L., N. A. & tJ., who, by the by, is a first-class locomotive engineer, was in the city on Saturday afternoon last, looking after the interests of the road. He intended to return to Chicago on the lip. m. train, but learning that there was a hitch between the engineers as to hauling the big excursew train coming up from Cincinnati en route for Chicago—the engineers having expressed an unwillingness to attempt to haul twelve coaches with one iocopiotive—Mr. Woodard stepped onto the footboard of one of the engines, put on a Wwe frock, hitched the engine to twelve coaches, and hauled them through to Chicago on regular passenger train time. The statement made in yesterday’s Journal regarding the consolidation of fast freight lines o the Vanderbilt system of roads, was based nwn remarks made by Vice-president Hayden, of the New York Central, a sow days since to a Western railroad man, who says the Journal was a little off yesterday in tlie statemeat. The lied, the Midland and White n're to be consolidated under one management as stated, bat the Merchants Despatch is not included in . the consolidation. This being an independent association, has power to make contracts with the sanction of the stockholders, and is the only fast freight liue now in existence of such a haratfer. There are a large number of individual stockholders as well as the railroad companies ■which have largo holdings of the stock, which is 42.300.000. At, the annual meeting of the delegates of the rutsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago Mutual Benefit Association it was decided to change the 3}&ine of the association to “The Pennsylvania Cwnpany’s Mutual Benefit Association,” and it was arranged to hold the next meeting at Alliance. ()., July 2:*, 1880. The matter of changes in the constitution and by laws coming up for consideration, it was agreed that the loss ot an arm, or of a log, would henceforth be considered, in applicants for membership, as a partial disability, and the loss of both arms, or both legs, or both eyes, a total disability. All members of standing in the old association will betaken into the new association as charter members, regardless of their ages, but persons who have forfeited their memberships by not paving up *wessnients, if over fifty years old, will’ not be *dzn ; tted to the new association. A Fast Run on the I\, Ft W. & C. On Monday night a lively run was made on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railway, the fastest, for a long distance, in the history of the road. Express train No. 5 left Crestline, ()., !RUy three minutes late and reached Fort Wayne but ten minutes late. The distance traveled was 331 miles, and the time between stations was 153 minutes. Deducting two minutes for each of wren crossing stops, five minutes for water at Ijtmst. 0., and two minutes the train was held at ♦be crossing of the Wabash, the actual time just etjunU in minutes the number of miles traveled — J3l miles in 131 minutes. The engineer was William Clean and the fireman John Deveney. llhh Little Faith in the Rumor. The Denver Republican says: It would unquestionably be greatly to the advantage of the Union Pacific to have a line of its own to Cbiengo. Nevertheless, we do not put much faith in the rumor that the Chicago, Milwaukee ABt Paul people are thinking of selling their line from Council Bluffs to Chicago. That line fa 491 miles long, and is a very desirable road, iltruua through au exceedingly rich country,

and it undoubtedly is a valuable contributor to the revenues of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul system. That company, therefore, has no occasion to desire to sell its Council Bluffs line because of its being a burden. In addition to the probability that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul does not care to sell its line, there is the fact that the Union Pacific has no money with which to buy it. There is altogether more likelihood of the Chicago, Milwaukee A: St. Paul buying the whole of the Union Pacific's system than there is of its selling any of its branches to tho latter company. Payment of Railroad Employes. Below is published the law which is now in force, entitled “an act in regard to the payment of employes of companies, ccrporations, individuals and associations doing business or employing labor in this State.” The bill was introduced by an old railroad man, and is intended to apply specially to railroad companies which are dilatory iu the movement of their pay-cars: Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that every company, corporation or association now existing, or hereafter organized. and doing business in this State, shall, in the absence of a written contract to the contrary, be required to make full settlement with and full payment in money to its employes engaged in manual or mechanical labor for such work done or performed by said employes for such company, corporation or association at least once iu every calendar month of the year. -Sec. 2. If any company, corporation or association shall neglect to make such payment, such employe may demand the same of said company, corporation or association, or any agent of said company, corporation or association, upon whom summons might be issued in a suit for such wages, and if said company, corporation or association shall neglect to pay the same for thirty days thereafter, said company, corporation or association shall be liable to a penalty of $1 for each succeeding day, to be collected by such employe in a suit (together with reasonable attorney’s fees in said suit) for said wages withheld; provided that said penalty shall in no instance exceed twice the amount due and withheld. .Sec, 3. All debts due any person for manual or mechanical labor shall be a preferred claim in all cases acainst any individual, copartnership, corporation or joint stock company where the property thereof shall pass into the hands of an assignee or receiver, and such assignee or receiver in the distribution and payment of the debts shall be required to first pay in full all debts due for manual or mechanical labor before paying any other except the legitimate costs and expenses. Tho Central Traffic Association Under a Cloud. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Sc Chicago railway (Kankakee line), has been in Chicago for a day or two, and had a lengthy conference with President R. R. Cable, of the Rock Island, regarding the interchange of business between the two companies. Mr. Ingalls, who is tho chairman of the committee of eighteen of the Central Traffic to a reporter of tho Chicago Tribune that no further steps regarding the consummation of tho now east-bound pooling ar rangement had been taken, and he does not know when the committee will be called together again. Hugh Riddle, ex-president of the Rock Island, who was elected commissioner of the new association at the Niagara Falls meeting last month, has not yet been officially notified of his election. It is generally understood, however, that Air. Kiddie has no intention of accepting the position. It was well v :nown to the committee when he was elected that he would not accept, and it is the opinion that he was appointed, nevertheless, for the purpose of keeping the new east-bound agreement in statu quo until the trunk lines have settled their difficulties and anew at rangement. which includes the trunk lines, can be made; itbeingthe opinion that a pool of the Western connections of the trunk lines cannot he made to work, and that the old joint executive committee arrangement will have to be re-enacted before it will be possible to firmly maintain east-bound freight rates.

Chicago aiul Ohio River Pool. Chicago, Aug. 5.—A mooting of agents of lines interested in the Chicago and Ohio river passenger pool was held to day, at which the subject of commissions was considered. The pernicious results growing out of the system of paying commissions indiscriminately on the sale of passenger tickets was generally admitted, but the meeting was unable to agree upon a plan to abolish tho custom. Finally, it was decided to place the matter in the hands of a committee, which was appointed and instructed to submit its report to the general managers. More Trouble About Double-Headers. Pittsburg, Aug. 5. —The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company to-day, fearing the strikers against the double-header system on the Wheeling & Pittsburg division would forcibly prevent tho sending out of freight trains, requested the mayor to send a squad of police to the junction at Glenwood. The police arrested eight men, and remain in the yard to prevent any outbreak. No trains were sent out to night. An effort will be made to do so to-morrow. Real Estate Transfers.

Carrie Lastor complains that her husband, Wilev, a week or two after their marriage, in October, 1884, deserted her. She says that he has constant employment from Alonzo Perkins, but contributes nothing of his wages to her support Yesterday she brought suit against Laster and Perkins to have some of Wiley’s earnings given to her. Kate Parker states that her husband earns $65 a month as an employe of tho Cincinnati, St. Louis, Indianapolis & Chicago railway, but he uses noue of it toward supporting herself and child. Yesterday she filed a complaint against the husband, Eli T. Parker. and the railway company, asking for S3O per month out of his wages. She also sues for divorce, on the ground of Parker’s desertion and alleged habits of intoxication. They were married in January. 1863, and he left her about a week ago. The Bloom! ligdale Excursion Party. The excursionists to Bloomingdale Glens will leave this morning, at 8:30 o’clock, by the 1., D. Sc S. railway. Quito a number will take their own tents, and remain during the entire two weeks, when the camp will break up. Arrange ment.s have been made for the accommodation of any who may wish to spend a day or two in this charming place. All who go should prepare to spend at least one night with the camping party, as it is impossible in one day to take in all the beauties of the resort. The excursion is tor the benefit of the free kindergartens of the South Side. _ Accident to a Little Girl. A five year old girl of Mr. Echardt, No. 87 Bradshaw street, fell into a vault yesterday. She was rescued in time to save her from suffoca Uoa.

The following general order was issued yesterday by General James R. Carnahan, commander of tho Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias: Headquarters Uniform Rank i Knights of Pythias of the World, £ Indianapolis. Aug 5, 1885. ) [General Orders, No. 5.] Realizing the fact that the death of General U. S. Grant at Mt. McGregor on July 23, 1885, was not only a national loss, but that his death is mourned by all the world, and that too great respect cannot be paid to the memory of so illustrious a Knight, a soldier and patriot, and from the fact that the order of Knights of Pythias had its origin in the hearts and minds of American soldiers, I deem it proper that all divisions of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias should participate, as far as possible, in tho memorial services to be held in honor of General Grant on Saturday, Aug. 8, and do now grant permission to all divisions to take part in such memorial services. James F. Shumate. James R. Carnahan, Brig.-gen. and Adj’t. Major-gen. U. R. K. of P.

The Vandalia Railway Company has finished the east span of the new wrought iron bridge over White river. It is made entirely of wroughtiron plates nailed together as closely as the plates of a boiler. The girders on which the track runs are novel specimens of that sort of work. They are three or four feet wide, by a foot across the top and bottom, which extend, like the top of a letter TANARUS, a few inches on each side of the body. The flanges of the girders are riveted co top plates and bottom plates, the whole making a long, wide, thin, hollow iron beam, the strongest form and lightest in which any material can be arranged. The middle span is well advanced. Scrofula, salt rheum, all humors, boils, pimples, and diseases of the blood, general debility. dyspepsia, biliousness, sick headache, kidney and liver complaints, catarrh and rheumatism, are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Take it now. One hundred doses. sl. CONVICT LABO_R TO LET.
