AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio, % expected home from Europe about Sept. 1. Geo. Phineas Pease, receiver of the Cleveland A Marietta road, spent the Sabbath with friends in this city. Brakemeu on passenger trains of the Pennsylvania lines have received special instructions to see that no person pots onto or off a coa ch at a station until the train is at a standstill. Beriah Warren, late master mechanic of the L, B. & W. road, now holding the same position mn the Toledo, Peoria & Western, has taken with him the foremen in nearly all department 8 of the 1., B. & W. shops, and a number of the best machinists. The railroad employes of Columbus. 0., have formed a building and loan association for the (mrpoae of raising money to be loaned among its members and depositors for use in buying lots, building and repairing houses aud other purpooee. The capital stock of the company is *>oo.ooo The five Western roadjc last week, brought into Indianapolis 3.599 loaded cars, as follows: L, D. A&, 35G; 1.. B. & W., 398; G, 1.. St, L. &G, 51st V and alia, 1.029; L & St. L , 1,262. There were brought in on the same roads in the week ending Aug. 1, 2.900 loaded cars. Increase last week. 699 loaded cars. The first rails laid on the Madison & Indianapolis road ware imported from England and landed at Madison in June, 1838, and laid down on the Madison & Indianapolis railroad in the fall of the same year. They weighed twentyfire pounds to the yard and cost SBO per ton to lay down on the Madison wharf from England. The seven eastern lines forwarded from this last week 2,940 loaded cars, as follows: L., if. A. (k G Air-line, 102; Wabash, 170: G, 11. & 1., 18ft L, B. & W., 273; G, St. L. & P., 522; G, L St L. & C., 783; Bee line, 902. The same roads forwarded in the week ending Aug. 1, 3,042 loaded cars. Decrease last week, 102 cars. Toledo, Cincinnat &St Louis stock has sold reeently at 7 cents, a decline of 2 cents. The fMTsonnl liability attaching to the stock has frightened a good many holders, and responsible holders are in some cases deterred from transferring the certificates to the names of impecunious acquaintances by the difficulty of securing transfers. The 1., D. & S. peopie seem to be making a bold dash for business, bringing into Indianapolis lasi week 356 loaded cars and forwarding west VO loaded care, and the present week promises to show a decided improvement over last week. for years has the business of this road been as heavy as at the present time. Indications are, superintendent Bender says, that within a few days they will need all their power to handle Aheir business, which is, 60 per cent of it, of a 1 oral character, and is carried at good paying rales Manager Beckley, of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Njcbigan road, slili seems confident that the company will have an independent line to a connection with the Union within twelve months. But few general managers can afford to be so easy in mind as Manager Beckley.He has a road 165 miles in length, 120 wtiilss of it steel rail well equipped. Passing {through a good country, doing an excelled business—has no bonded or floating debt, lend by the 12th of each month settles every dollar they owe. The fact is that there are not a tl&xen railroads in the country which can show sis clean a record as does the 0., W. & M. road. The American Express Company has inaugurated anew plan of dealing with its employes, •whereby it m hoped to shuffle out of its present responsibility for damages in case of accident on Rteainbo.it or railroad, resulting in injuries. The company has sent to each of its men a contract exiling him to release it from all such claims in ease any accident may happen him, the penally for refusal to sign which is discharge from the company’s service. A contract of this kind was forced on the men of a Georgia railway rompanv a few years ago, but one of the men Irving killed in the company's service, and his wife bringing suit for damages, tho Supreme Opart of tlie State knocked the contract into jfijb^hereens. The general tenor of the remarks of shippers is to the effect that they, as well as the roads, wifi be benefited by the organization of the t*.ntral Traffic Association, as what is wanted is steady rates and no discrimination in favor of asy shipper at any point it is admitted by all retsonublo business men that after all the talk #f railroad wars and doing business at ruinous rates, the business men of the country have profited very little by the reductions. A public retttiment is slowly forming before which the vaiSroad mannates of the country will have to scow. and among its effects will be the putting of transportation lines on a common-sense footing, which means tho adoption of fair paying rates and no discrimination. Let there boa summer uad winter tariff and no fluctuations in rates between the dates in which the season changes la tariff takes effect. Gao. VV. Boyd, assistant general passenger ngent of tho Pennsylvania road, who has been viwting his parents for a day or two, returned ltuA night on the ‘Tin ited’’ to Philadelphia. few men in railroad service have more friends than does Mr. Boyd, and none are more competent to fill the important positions he bonds with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, bemg not ouly the assistant general passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania road proper, but as wrfl of several important reads in their system east of Pittsburg. Mr. Boyd is an Indianapolis boy, was born on the South Side, Aug. 1. 1848. lie entered railway service October. 1863, as clerk of the Bee line, in tho freight office, and from 1872 to 1874 was cashier of the Bee line. In 1874 ho accepted the position of chief clerk in the general offices of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company passenger department, which position be held until Jan. 1, 18S2, when he was appointed assistant general passenger agent. ■Where Railroads Can Be Built with Some Show of Profit, A study of tho advance sheets of Poor's liailManual, for 1884, shows where railroads are khe most plentiful, and where they are now most needed. Grouping the States in to New England, Middle, Southern, Western and Pacific, and taking each group's share of the 125,000 miles of railway in existence at the end of the year 1884, Rome interesting figures are obtained. New England has 6,306 miles of completed railway or one mile to every nine and one-eighth square miles of territory. The railway mileage of the Middle group amounts to 19.203 miles, or one mile of rood to every seven and one half miles of territory The Southern States have 19,895 miles of road, or one mile to 23 square miles of territory, and the Western States have 70,232 miles road, or one mile to every 21.1 miles of territory The Pacific group is at the bottom of the list! with 9,742 miles of road, or only one mile to 95 l square miles of Area. Taking individual titates as the basis of comparison, Illinois stands fir*t with 8.909 miles of road, Pennsylvania second with 7.546 miles, lowa third with 7,510, New "York fourth with 7,335, Ohio fifth with 7,276, Texas sixth with 6,198, Indiana seventh with 5,534, Michigan eighth with 5,223 aud Missouri sixth with 4,709 miles. It will be seen from these figures that the future railway development of the country is likely to be confined chiefly to the throe groups of States designated as the Southern, Western and Pacific. UmmiM Re Taken with a Largo Pinch of Salt. “It is a favorite trick of pessimists to enlarge tipoc tho great economy ot English locomotive running aud the superiority of tho driver ascompered with the engineer,” says a correspondent ot the Boston Commercial Bulletin. “All such statements should be taken with a very large pinch of salt The English driver has advantages <rrcrthe American engineer which are very real •ad extremely effective. English railroads, as •Terythtng in that country, are built for future *<t** &r 'd without very much regard to the failure or fortune of tho original stockholders. The road bedß are extraor dinxfily smooth and well ballasted, and Chore are few or no crossings at grade, necessitating slow running and wear of bearings. Ttie ▼ery nature of the country favors the railroads much more than thickly settled portions of our ova, from the absence of broad streams and high bills. In England itself there are very few of Uteoteep grades which are so trying to our own (Awaotivea.” It is questionable if some of the

oldest English engineers would make as much of a success on American roads as docs a young American engineer of average ability. Certainly they would not run the American engine* as economically, so far as fuel is concerned. Freight Rnsineas Over Indianapolis Lines. At the request of several railroad officials we change the character of the weekly statements, and hereafter publish in full the statement of the corresponding week of the preceding year, instead of the preceding week of the current year. The movement of the preceding week will be given weekly in totals as follows: The total movement of cars in the weekending Aug. 8,1885, was 17,005, of which number 12,860 were loaded. The total movement of the week ending Aug. 1, 1885, was 16,499 cars, of which number 12,314 were loaded. It will be seen that last week there were 546 more loaded cars reeeived and forwarded, and 55 more empty cars. As compared with the number handled in the corresponding week is 1884 there were 602 less loaded cars and 135 less empty cars. East-bound shipments continue extremely light—a slight improvement is looked tor this week — while west-bound the tonnage is seldom, if ever, so heavy in early August. Whiie there is a heavier movement of through business, the tonnage is considerably increased through heavy shipments of grain to St Louis. North and South roads are doing very little through business, but their local traffic, as with all roads, is improving daily, and the prospects are that all Indianapolis roads are to derive handsome earnings for a few months to come from their local business. All Indiana roads have suffered in their business for a few months past from the light movement of lumber and live stock. Other classes of freight have averaged well through the summer months with former years. Below we give the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending Aug. 8, 1885, and the corresponding week of 1884: 1885. 1884. Name of Road. Au g- 8 ‘ Au ?' 9 ' Loaded Emp.

The South Pennsylvania matter seems to be pretty well settled. The Carnegie interest have now fully decided to give proxies to Mr. Twombly, and, it is said, cable instructions have been received which fully determine the matter. This being the case, the $15,000,000 subscriptions are thu3 divided: For Vanderbilt, $9,250,000; against him, $3,950,000. This leaves something more than 1,000,000 small holders unaocounted for, but the figures show that it doesn’t make any difference whether they favor a sale or not. Miscellaneous Notes. English locomotives carry a whistle which, beside that of American manufacture, is as a penny trumpet beside n brass band. Some of the English locomotives carry two whistles of different keys. They are used solely for signaling. The absence of steep bits of grade as well as the comparatively few curves and the straight lines on which the English railroad is built are the outcome of the peculiar British bull dog disposition. The American railroad avoids obstacles, the English railroad smashes them, says a correspondent of the Boston Commercial Bulletin. Poor’s Manual for 1884 has a table of equipments and shows a grand total in the United States of 28,587 locomotives, 17,993 passenger cars, 5.911 baggage, mail and express cars, and 798,399 freight cars of all lands. From this we find that there is on an average one engine to every 4 1-3 miles of line, and ouo engine to every 28 7-10 cars of all kinds. The total average expenses, including wages, repairs, fuel and supplies, varies on the different roads running out of Boston, from nineteen and a half to twenty three cents a mile run by the locomotive. Os the former sum eight cents represent fuel and four cents for repairs, fuel being the largest item of the expense and thus the one whose reduction is most quickly felt. Real Estate Transfers.

When this attraction was seen here last season, it played to full houses at prices ranging from 25 cents to sl. Now it can be seen at 10, 15 and 25 cents. Will O. Wheeler, of this city, who has the business management of Dan. Sully’s comedy, “A Corner Grocery,” telegraphed from San Francisco, Saturday night: “ ‘Corner Grocery' turned hundreds away to night before 8 o’clock.” Mr. Wheeler's many friends in Indianapolis will be glad to hear of the success of any enterprise in which he is interested. Solly’s success is in large measure due to Mr. Wheeler’s energetic efforts in his behalf. Mr. Robinson Will Have an Office. Perry E. Robinson, of Anderson, is registered at the Bates House. He has just returned from Washington, where he successfully passed the examination for steamboat inspector on the Ohio river, a lucrative and rather desirable position. He has been given reliable assurances that he will be appointed to the office within a few days. Changes in the Pension Office. Orders were received here yesterday that after this month the office of Supervising Examiner located at present in the principal cities, will be abolished, and hereafter the special examiners will report direct to the Pension Office in Wash ington, D.

GEO. F. PFINGST, Proprietor. FINANCIAL. 23 Wall Street, ? New York, July 25, 1885. > To Ibe First Mortgage Bondholders of the SEW YORK, WEST SHORE Al BUFFALO RAILWAY COMPANY: Being convinced that the interests of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company and of the Bondholders of the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway Company would be best promoted by the former Company securing a lease of the Railroad of the latter Company, and working such Railroad in harmony with its own system, we opened negotiations to secure this result. These negotiations have reached a point at which w© are prepared to lay the following proposal before the Bondholders of the West Shore Company, in order that each one of them who may now so elect shall have equal opportunity to share with us the benefit of our contract hereinafter mentioned, and with the view also of promoting unanimity aud a speedy termination of pending difficulties. The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company has executed a contract with us agreeing, upon a reorganization of the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway Company, to take possession of the property of the reorganized Company, under a lease, and to guaranty the principal and interest of the bonds hereinafter mentioned, which are to be securod by mortgage upon that property. The conditions of the contract are as follows: First—That the securities to be issued by the reorganized Company shall be limited to. $50,000,000 four porcont. Mortgage Bonds, aud $10.0004)00 Capital Stock, the bonds to be dated January 1, 1886, and to mature at the expiration of the lease, say in four hundred and seventy-five years, or upon default in payment of interest for two consecutive years. Second—That of the Mortgage 80nd5..525,000,000 shall be offered in exchange for the $50,000,000 First Mortgage Bonds of the present Company, with past due coupons attached—that is to say, SI,OOO of the new guarantied bonds for $2,000 of the old. Third—That the remaining $25,000,000, except such amount as may be necessary for reorganization, shall not be issued except at the request of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, to provide for prior liens, necessary terminals and such other property and for such other purposes as the Directors of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company may from time to time think necessary for the security, development aud operation of the property leased Fourth—That, the Capital Stock of the reorganized Company shall be surrendered to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company as a consideration for its lease and guaranty. Fifth—That the leased property shall be delivered prior to January 1, 1886. We therefore offer to the First Mortgage Bondholders of the West Shore Company the opportunity to avail themselves of our agreement with the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, upon tb* following conditions: First—That their bonds shall be deposited with us, with the agreement hereto attached duly executed by the depositors. SECOND—That at least a majority of the whole issue shall be deposited. Pending the deposit of such majority, temporary receipts will bo given for the bonds. After a majority shall have been secured, temporary receipts will be exchanged for engraved receipts, negotiable in form, countersigned by the Union Trust Company, in whose custody tho bonds will remain until required by us for purposes of reorganization. In case a majority shall not bo secured, and a reorganization perfeoted within the time required under the contract with the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company the bonds will be returned free of expense, upon surrender of the receipts duly assigned. It is right that we should add that a very large proportion of the bonds required have already assented to the proposed plan. Upon receiving the assent of a majority in amount of the present West Shore bonds, immediate steps will be taken" which, we are advised, will secure prompt reorganization, and prevent further depreciation and waste of the property. The right is reserved to terminate at any time the privilege of accepting the offer hereby made. DREXEL, MORGAN & CO.

TflE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL NEW ANNOUNCEMENT. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is reo ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense is spared 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 news of the day are more complete than ever, and we have added some special features 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 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 county 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 fullest and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news columns, free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party organship has passod, and it proposes to beperfeotly 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 columns of THE JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial columns such comment 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 the children are to be instructed and entertained. They wlli 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. The Railroad News of THE JOUHNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in the country. SPECIAL FEATURES. Bv a special arrangement with the authors, the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL began with the present 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. B. Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett and others of equal celebrity. This series is now being printed in the Saturday edition. 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 Jour nal’a arrangements for the prompt publication of news. In the SUNDAY JOURNAL are printed a series of original stories written by the most celebrated authors of the world. We receive these stories direct from England, by a speoial arrangement with the writers. We have already published stories by “Ouida,” William Black,' Mrs. Oliphant and Joseph Hatton. The one now being printed is a novelette by Miss M. E. Braddon, entitled “CUT BY THE COUNTY." THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Is a paper of twelve pages, sold for five cents, the same as the Saturday Journal. The SUNDAY JOURNAL reaches every town and city in Indiana and the surrounding territory. The circulation ot the Sunday edition is the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made 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 State and country freely contribute to its columns. In its enlarged and improved form it is absolutely without a rival or peer. TIIE 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 features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a depart raent of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In these respects the WEEKLY JOURNAL is superior to any merely agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by any special class publication. SPECIAL TERMS Are made to agents and canvassers, and for clubbing with other papers. For all details address the publishers, JNO. C.
