AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. l’ersonul and Loral. Tha C., 1., St, L. & C. road earned in the first of August $41,730 20, against $30,334.00 torreaponding week 1884. General Superintendent Edward Matthews, of the United States Express Company, was in the titjr yesterday, prospecting. D. J. Mackey, nresi dent of the Evansville & Terre Haute road, has gone East to attend a meeting of the directors of tho road. BL L Doherty, commissioner of the Indianapolis east-bound pool, left for New York last mefct to attend the Central Traffic Association meeting. Walter Rogers, car accountant of the L., N. A &C. road, with his clerical force and all his trappings, moved from Lafayette to Chicago Jttoaday last. Fnend.> of the Central Traffic Association still express a belief that Hugh Riddle, if urged, will accept the cominissionership. The wish that lie •onhi at ems to be unanimous among railroad BUOf^rg. Tb© Indianapolis & Vincennes company aro pnttuig in ten miles of steel rails this week, rwootved from the Joliet, 111., mills. This is the first purchase the Pennsylvania Company has inudo from these mills. The Indianapolis & Vincennes road change time to-day. T 1 e morning train will hereafter leave at 7:15 A. instead of 8:15, one hour earlier. The afternoon train at 4:40 p. >i., in- • trad of i i*. m., forty minutes later. Official notice was given yesterday of the apfwatniriit of C. B. Lockwood as auditor of tho 1., ti A: W., the Ohio Southern, the Dayton & Irwfitor., the Dayton Ac Toledo and the Danville, Ac Ohio River roads. Mr. Lockwood yes-U-tday look hold of matters in earnest. Superintendent Ewan, of the Bee Line Tndianapo'.us division; Higgins, superintendent of telegraph: Allen, superintendent of transportation. and Master Mechanic Garstang, will to day begin the color blind test of employes of this division, the examination to take place at Union Ctty C. Blackman, of Buffalo, N. Y., the newly appointed agent of the Union Pacific for this district, has recovered from his recent sever© illness, and was on hand yesterday for duty. For the time teing he will occupy as an office the room occupied by his predecessor, A. S. Burgess, deceased. The increase of local business on the Illinois Midland requires all the cars Traffic Manager tichiader can command, and theie will he no further e cuse for rate cutting on east-bound bustoess out of Peoria, as the Illinois Midland, the alleged demoralizer, is practically out of that mnriet Tie Chicago & Great Southern peonlo are •urveyuig anew line to reach the coal fields of Braaii, running aloug on the west line of Parke cocroty. It is said by changing their route they avoid several heavy grades and pass through n country where it will be much less expensive to build the road. There was an old fashioned blockade on the Union tracks yesterday afternoon, thoughtless yard masters letting seven cuts of different roads on the tracks just at the time when they are the meet in use by passenger trains—3:3o p.' m. Not only were several streets blockaded, but passenger trains wero delayed. An official of the L., N. A. & C. road says that as soon as the finances of the company will allow they will remove all their shops to Monon, erecting suitable buildings to accommodate them. He Bays there is no question as to this being the proper point to locate them, and that it is, as well, the proper place for the master ot transportation to be located. Gapt. John Postell, recently general manager of the East & West railroad of Alabama, has sued that company for damages. He claims that the company was under contract to retain his services until the road should be completed to Birmingham, and he not oni3 r asks for uara ages for his discharge, but also sues to recover $40,000 which ho has invested in the road. It is of the utmost importance that shippers, now that busihess is improving, unload cars promptly. A general freight agent stated last night that there were at least 1,500 loaded cars standing in Indianapolis yards which ought tube unloaded within forty-eight hours, but he presumed that some of the parties to whom they were consigned would be a we6k or more unloading them, notwithstanding the increased demaud for cars. A meeting of the creditors of the Blaine Brothers Car works, in Huntington, Pa., was held last week, at which most of the bondholders were represented. A resolution was passed authorizing the trustee to take the necessary steps to have the property sold and to vest the interest in the bondholders. It is probable that the works will be sold in September. Tho Blaine Brothers have many friends in Indianapolis who will regret to learn that the depression in business has been so damaging to tneir interests. A meeting of freight representatives of the lines interested in the Decatur pool was held Monday in Chicago. The roads represented were the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, Illinois Central. Wabash, Indianapolis, Decatur & Spnngfh'ld, Illinois Midland, and the Chicago & Havana line. The latter was formerly a branch line of the Wabash road, but has of late assumed the dignity of an independent road. and. therefore, anxious to join the Decatur pool. The subject was thoroughly discussed, and all the preliminaries arrauged for the admission of tho road, although no time was set for the event. An adjournment was had subject to the call of the eommisaioner, H. O. Canfield. Kail road Parasites. Uttier the above head the Philadelphia Record makes a bitter attack on the present methods of operating railways, and alleges that the railway managements are profiting through the mismanagement of the roads. The Record says that 4 *amorg the most destructive of these parasites r the palace car companies, the fast transportatioz lines, the car trusts, and the inside freight and real estate combinations. In all these parasitic fungi growing upon the railroads and sappioe their vigor are the leading railroad officials and managers. Nowhere else in the civilized ■world Are railroads thus systematically depleted, and ic this country at no time to such a degree as the present. At last the railroads have come to be regarded in many instances as tho legitimate spoil of tho men who have got into their control.” The writer ©f above may be to some exteut correct in hij allegation?; yet low rates are in a larger mvasore responsible for the shortcomings in the way of paying dividends. It has been ascertained by careful study of the cost of transportation that under the most favorable circumstances it costs five mills per ton per mile to Steal freight, and a majority of the roads hare been iuud.iig through and local business at an average k©f five mills and sixteen one thousandth of a cent per ton per mile for mouths past. After paying the interest on bonded debts, if such roaua can do it without borrowing money--there is a mighty small sum to be divided among the parasites. Another fact in regard to this matter i3 that none are more anxious to unload the fast freight lines than are the •very railroad managers the Record attacks. Take the Pennsylvania road—it has already unloaded all fast freight lines except the Union line, aud the Pennsylvania Railroad Company ©wsm •very car in this line. Tho Erie people bare practically consolidated their three most important lines, and one year from to day, jfioobUess, the New York Central will reduce the number of lines to a minimum. A New Gate for Protecting Railroad Crossings. Anew railroad crossing gate is undergoing a test on one of the Eastern roads, which is working admirably, it is stated. The gate operates by tb direct power of the locomotiye. At the distant station (varied according to the maximum speed of trains), a side rail set slightly above the )svel of the rails is pushed outlaterly two inches 9T mom by the driving wheels, transmitting sufftcient force to release a trip at the gate itself to -parmit it to descend. The descent of the gate is Ittgulated so as to be very slow, and a bell rings at tee same time, affording due warning to ap fttMduag teams. The slight force required for

this purpose is transmitted 1,000 feet or more by wooden bars combined with short stretches of iron rod. the etfect of the two combined being that the transmitting rod does not vary in length, it is claimed, with the weather. As the engine passes the gate it presses down a side rail which raises the gate and places it in condition to be lowered again by a train approaching from either direction. The apparatus is so arranged that the train has no effect upon the distant station beyond the cate, which is acted on only by trains going in one direction. The gate is not expensive or complicated. What the Travelers’ Protective Uuion Pro- . poses To I)o. Good results are looked for through the establishment of anew society, to bo known as the Travelers Protective Union, as its real object is to bring about an abolition of certain nuisances a person is subjected to when traveling by rail. The New York Times says that by tho rules of the association the members are bound to suppress the man who turns over the back of the seat in front of him in order to put his legs on the 6eat. The method to be pursued is to suddenly turn over the back of the seat and drop it on the offenders legs. If it breaks one or two of them no harm will be done, for there, is good legal opinion in support of the claim that the man who puts his legs on a seat ‘ that does not belong to him does so at bis own risk. If the legs do not break they will at any rate suffer acutely, and the man who has been thus punished will be very careful not to put himself in danger a second time. Under rule three, the woman who manages to occupy four seats by turning over the back of one of them and filling them all with her person and bundles is to be punished by a very admirable method. In every railway town the society will have in its pay one or more particularly fat negroes with great powers of perspiration. When a member sees a lady thus pre-empting four seats, he will telegraph to the next station for one of the society’s negroes. When the train arrives at the station the negro will enter the car of the offender. remove a few of her bundles, and seat himself next to her. He will be forbidden to speak to her or to annoy her in any way, except by his presence. We may feel very sure that any woman who learns of the existence of the society and of its proposed methods will abstain from risking its vengeance. There are other railway nuisances which should he combated, as to which the society will, at an early day, adopt some method of proceeding. Such are the man who keeps the window open on a coid or dusty day; the man who will have no ventilators open At any time, and the man who tries to induce the brakeman to make the fire hotter when the temperature of the car is already above seventy. The train boy with his peanuts, pop corn and figs is as well to receive attention. The society will do a grand work even if it confines itself wholly to the suppression of the train boy and the man and woman who occupy more seats than belong to them, and the society will have the good wishes of every intelligent and philauthrof hic man. The Wabasli Reorganization Scheme. London, Aug. 11.—Mr. Bald, in his report to the English holders of Wabash securities, after referring to tho extremely critical condition of Wabash affairs, says he thinks that if the main system can he held together and relieved of debt the exercise of prudence and economy in the management may result in the payment of dividends. The Wabash committee have issued an elaborate scheme of reorganization for the approval of the shareholders. The committee express regret that they are unable to present a more satisfactory report, but they say that unless a united ard determined effort be made to save the property it will fall to piecea

The B. & O. Will Wait a While. Chicago, Aug. 11. —In a telegram received by Commissioner Moore to-day, CL K. Lord, general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio road, agrees for the present to postpone tho threatened return of his road to the system of paying commission on the sale of passenger tickets. It is understood that action in tho matter will be deferred until Mr. Lord's arrival here, in a week or so. on business connected with the Baltimore & Ohio. Middle and Western States Rates. Chicago, Aug. 11.—At a meeting to-day of the committee in charge of the Middle and Y T estern States Traffic Association, it was agreed to put into effect, on Aug. 17. the schedule of tariffs recently prepared, which were revised and adopted to day. Miscellaneous Notes. The steel rail makers are in conference at Long Branch. They meet to consider the advisability of advancing the price of steel rails, which are now at a point which yields no profit, and in some cas°s is below the cost of production. Thirty dollars per tou is spoken of as the lowest price. The shipments of watermelons from stations on the Savannah, Florida & Western road this year amounted to 941 car-loads, against I,OGb last year. About 20 per cent, of these shipments were to New York and about 70 per cent, to Western points, the remainder going to local Eastern points. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific shops in Chicago, 111., have recently completed seven new passenger engines for the road. They have 17 by 24 inch cylinders and driving wheels sixtysix inches in diameter. The boilers are fiftyfour inches diameter of barrel, and the fire-box is sixty inches long. The strike last week on tho Wheeling division of the Baltimore & Ohio railway against ‘‘double headers,” is at an end. and traius are running to day as usual. The dissatisfied employes hav been discharged and paid off, and their Diaces filled with new men. No more trouble is anticipated. Messrs. A. L. Harris and W. C. Shearer, of Atlanta, Cla., have taken out a patent for an entirely new style of locomotive. The boiler truck, driving wheel, etc., are of the usual pattern, hut the motive power is furnished by a rotary engine connected directly with the main driving axle, or, if desired, two rotary engines can be used. Railroad building promises to be livelier next year than this, if the Wall street stones of the inteutions of some of tho great. Western lines are correct. It is pretty certain that the Wisconsin Central will be extended to Chicago and will have terminal facilities of its own in that city. The Chicago. Burlington & Quincy is expected to build to St. Paul, and acquire the Manitoba, and the Rock island will extend its road to Peoria. The damaging experience of the East through the building of useless railroads does not seem to have been felt west of Chicago. A consolidation locomotive belonging to the Philadelphia & Reading company, and provided with the Wootten fire-box, has been in use for two months on the Union Pacific road, hauling freight over the heavy grades between Green river and Laramie. The engine has recently been sent from the Union Pacific to the Atchison, Topeka fc Santa Fe, where it is to be used for a time on the heavy grades over the Raton mountains in New Mexico. The object of sending the engine Most was to give the Wootten fire box a practical test in burning the waste from the bituminous coal mines of Wyoming and Colorado. The management of the Northern Pacific road are said to be much elated that the bark Isabel arrived at Tacoma from Yokohama with the first cargo of the crop of tea of the present season. The voyage has been made in thirty-three days, which is four days less, than were taken by another vessel which sailed for San Francisco on the same day as the Isabel left for Tacoma. 3 his proves that Tacoma, the terminus of the Northern Pacific, is the nearest point to Japan, and will probably result in Tacoma obtaining many more Japanese importations. The Northern Pacific expects to land the teas in New Yoi'k within ten days, thereby making the trip from Yokohama to New York in forty three days, against one hundred days usually taken by the Eastern route. A Dearth of Revenue Stamps. There is much complaint among persons Paving business with the internal revenue office about the failure of the agent in this city to keep revenue stamps on hand. The law requires that all revenue offices shall have, at all times, at least three months' supply in stock.

AN APPEAL FOR AID. Mexican Veterans Ask for Assistance in Making Their Reunion a Success. The resident Mexican veterans are already beginning to make preparations for the entertainment of their comrades, who will visit Indianapolis next month to attend the reunion of the survivors of that war. They have written the following appeal to the public for assistance: •‘lndianapolis, Aug. 8. “To the Ultivens of Indianapolis and Stateof Indiana “The National Association of Veterans of the Mexican War has selected Indianapolis as the place of holding their next annual meeting, which will be held on the 16th and 17th of Sept., 18®. We expect between 300 and 400 comrades to be present, coming from nearly every State in the Union, and the resident comrades here at Indianapolis make to you our first appeal; and by reason o f age, our last appeal, for assistance to help us entertain our visiting comntdes. Thirty-nine years ago Indiana sent 5000 soldiers to the Mexican war. of these men all but about 200 are in their graves*; their bodies are buried on the battle fields of Mexico—in the valleys and on the mountains and in the sands along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, with no headstones to mark their graves—nor was any sanitary commission present to assist them and comfort them in their dying hours. Victory after victory perched upon their banners, and never a defeat—until the territory comprising the great States of California, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico—territory comprising nearly 1,000,000 square miles, was wrested from a foreign power and added to the United States. This was worth to the United States hundreds of millions of dollars, and could cot be bought at any price from them. Again, in 1861, wheu the dark clouds of war were gathering over the land and the government called to arms, the veterans of the Mexican war were among the first to gather around the flag they had so often borne to victory. On more than two hundred bloody fields they helped to place victory again, and again, on the starry folds of the flap they had followed so often and so well in a foreign land. Among our comrades from this State wo will mention Generals Milroy, Wallace, Manson, Dumont, Spicelv, McGinnis, Simonson, Wagner, Love. Crittenden and Jeff. C. Davis, andhundredsof field and line officers and privates in the ranks. More than three-fourths of our comrades served in the last war; half of them wear the badge of the Grand Army; in politics they are about equally divided. We speak only of the veterans of our own State, though we have the names of over one hundred general officers in the last war from other States who were our comrades in the Mexican war. “It is the veterans of two wars who call on you to assist them. Our heads are now white with age; and we are broken down from hard service for our country. Our reunions on earth are few. We think no soldiers on earth have done more for their government, and think that government ought to recognize our services by pensioning us at $8 per month. But if they think otherwise and let the rest of us pass away without any recognition, it is well. We have been treated splendidly at our reunions at Washington, Cincinnati, Louisville and Nashville. Another Western city, which draws a large trade from the territory that our services annexed to the United States, we regret to say, saw fit to take no notice of us; nor assisted our resident comrades in any way for our reunion. Thirtyeight years have passed since the close of the Mexican war, and we have asked you for nothing; this is our first appeal and you can reasonably expect it to be the last. Indianapolis has always responded nobly, whether for devastating fires in the North, or floods in the Ohio valley, or yellow fever in the South. We think that you wiil assist us now to entertain our visiting comrades. The chairman of tho committee is Captain Buchanan; secretary, Captain Dodd; treasurer, General McGinnis; Captain Moorhouse and Captain Clinton are also on the committee. Any donations that the citizens may wish to make can be made to them; and when tho time comes to decorate our hall the loan of any flag or any assistance rendered will be thankfully received. By order of the committee. “A. Mookhousk.”

Want Pay for Tlieir Rails. The Pittsburg Bessemer Steel Company filed an intervening petition in the United States Court yesterday, asking tho payment of claims against the Chicago & Great Southern Railway Company for $16,291,65. It is stated in the complaint that 350 tons of steel rails were delivered for the Chicago & Great, Southern at Good land, in January, 1882, but'on the failure of tho company to pay for them, they were placed in the custody of a person who was to hold possession of the property until payment was made. The railway company succeeded in getting possession of the rails, however, and used them in the construction of their lino without tho permission of the Bessemer Steel Company. The railway officials have, it is alleged, refused to pay for the rails, and tho plaintiffs therefore want $16,291.65, which they claim is due them. They ask an adjustment of the claim, and that it may be a lien on the earnings of the railway. Real Estate Transfers.
