AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Personal aud I.oral. Frank Gregory, agent of the 1., B. & W., at Indianapolis, returned yesterday from a two weeks pleasure trip. J. J. Turner, superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes road, is experiencing an ugly tussle with the hay fever. D. L. Macurdv has been appointed city passenger agent of the UnioD Pacific road for Chicago, *iee George Young, resigned. The Indiana division of the Travelers’ Protective Association holds its first meeting at the Grand Hotel, Indianapolis, Auc. 22 at 2P. M. N. Boiiivin, contracting agent of the Pennsylvania lines, who is a great sufferer with hay fever, accompanied by his wife, left for northern Michigan last night George W. Andrews has been appointed city ticket agent of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road at Chicago, vice Air. A. C. Bostick, resigned. It is stated that the Wabash pay-car, which has been resting for a few days at Lafayette, has a replenished safe and will move eastward lo day. paying only for the June service. Tho Wabash people have been running diningram on their system for four years and none have ever paid expenses, until last week Conductor Irish's car. on the Detroit division, cleared over all expenses. The Wabash road earned in July $902,078 against. $1,234,258 the corresponding month, 1884 Decrease this year, $271,580. The earnings of the road for the seven months ending Jnlv 31 were $7,830,058, a decrease this year of *653,098. President Mackey, of the Evansville road, seems to be handling the property with success. The road earned iu the seven months, ending July 31. $409,300, an increase over earnings corresponding period, 1884. of $2,220. This certainly is n favorable exhibit, all things considered. The earnings of the 1., B. & W. road for July were $167,055, against $173,188 the corresponding month, 1884. The earnings of the road for the seven months ending July 31, were $1,258,045, which is an increase of $‘8,182. In this statement the earnings of the 1., I). & 8., operated last year by the 1., B. & W. people,ate not included. Express business, it is stated officially, is now $0 per cent, heavier than sixty days ago. and 20 per cent, heavier than in August 1884. There la no better pulse of business than the volume of traffic carried by express companies, hence the improvement in business with them is one of the best indications that trade is improving generally. As the general freight agents of the St. Louis lines have been censured for making so low a rate on wheat from Indianapolis to St. Louis, it is hut fair to them to say that iu making that rale they have had to contend with rates to other markets, and in most cases a one-half cent per 100 pounds higher rate would have thrown the same wheat on the Toledo market. The Beo line people a 7 e too rapidly regaining their popularity as a passenger route to afford to make any mistakes; but it certainly is a mistake to require all passengers on night express trains to change cars at Gabon unless they occupy a *lcpinc-car. One coach should certainly be run through from Indianapolis to Cleveland, as the Aonr of transfer is a very unpleasant one. In Dayton, 0., the engineer of a locomotive who allows his engine to pop, or runs within the city limits with the cylinder cocks of his engine open, is liable to a fine. Indianapolis needs just such a law. More accidents by horses ■becoming frightened occurs from the flying open of the pop valves, or tho steam rushing from cylinder cocks than from any other cause. Edgar Hills, assistant general freight agent of the Bee-line, has notified general freight agents by telegraph in this section, who have been on the anxious seat lest the Bee-line would not restore rates, yesterday, that he had instructed his division freight agents to restore rates to the tariff of July 13. He closes the telegram with, the Bee-line now “means business.” The trunk line general freight agents are notifying Western roads that they will not pro rate in any east-bound through rate lower than the tariff of July 13; this has rattled, somewhat, line agents, who by their conversation with shippers have led tho latter to believe that the proposed restoration of rates on yesterday was of the same character of similar attempts in the past. The Danville, Olney & Ohio River road is doing a good business for a road which has been under so heavy a cloud for years. That it is operated economically is made apparent by the fact that it is operated on 42 per cent, of its gross earnings. This leads President Mackey, of the Evansville fc Terre Haute road, who is credited with being the most economical railroad manager on this continent. Messengers of the American Express Company running on the Ohio division have been notified that they would be given a week's vacation without a reduction in their pay. Superintendent Sloan would make himself solid with tho messengers on the Indianapolis division if he would copy tho action of the superintendent of the Ohio division. The hardest working men on railroads are the express messengers, and their occupation, in many respects, is a hazardous one. Anew list of orders was posted up in the Wabash shops on Saturday last, at different points. One clause provides that any employe wishing to resign must give six days’ notice to insure prompt payment of his time. The men re alfeo required to he at their places five minutes before the last whistle blows, and commence work immediately. All work must be approved bv the foreman before any other task is commenced. Tho “orders' go on at length in this strain. The Wabash issues the following circular: “In accordance with the requirements of the customs laws ol Canada, way-bills covering car-load shipments of freight from the United States to points in Canada, or which pass through that country, must give a full description of the contents of each car, specifying iho number of packages, such as barrels, kegs, hogsheads, etc., and in the shipments of lumber, logs, or timber the kind aud number of feet, board measure or cubic measure, us the ca e may require. The special attention of agents and shippers is called to the necessity of strictly observing the above instructions, as a failure to comply with them will cause a detention of freight at Canadian ports.” Railroad Earnings. Tho Commercial and Financial Chronicle’s tables or railroad earnings iu July and the first seven months of the calendar year are summarized as; follows, the aggregate for July being of fifty seven roads, and that for the seven months of fifty-four roads: 188f. 1884. Inc. Mileage 44,071 44.322 34!) July $ 17.441,504 17,410.562 $30,942 Jan. Ito July 31.. 113,031,339 115,144,022 *1,512,683 'Decrease. The Proposition Gaining Friends. ‘‘The pioneers and others who have taken an Active and successful part in the introduction of ■van tiard time, ’says the Boston Herald, “have nil along acknowlfdged that the system of time notation now in general use, which divides the day into two parts of twelve hours each, beginning and ending at midday and midnight, is altogether contradictory and confusing, and is . vrunsbersome, because in noting the hours, which are repeated every day, they have to no exE lamed as either ante-meridian or post meridlo. The railway officials have been most alive to this anomalous condition of things, because they have found as great difficulty in making up their time schedules as the public usually have in deciphering them. Railroadmen. therefore, would be a unit for the adoption of the twentyfour hour system.” Doubtless tho Herald is correct in this statement. At the meeting of the American Society of Civil Engineers, on the 21st of last January, tho committee on standard time reported that’ since the June previous they had communicated with a large number of promt nent men :n all parts of the country, and found per cent, of them decidedly of* tho opinion that the hours should be counted in a single aeries, from zero to twenty four. Replies from railway officials representing over 50.000 mites of road were also received favoring the change. \3ie telegraph interests wore also reported to

be in full sympathy with the new system, and the President of the Western Union Telegraph Company was given as authority for the state meut that, beside reducing the number of errors, fully 150,000,000 letters would be saved annual.v in transmission if it were adopted. The proposed change has been widely discussed, both in this country and in Europe, and in both sections there is to be noted a growing sentiment in its favor. Scientific men have used the twentyfour hour system for their special purposes for a long time, and this year the observatory at Greenwich. England, changed their astronomical time from beginning the day at 12 o'clock noon to 12 o'clock night. In other words, the day at that institution begins now at midnight, counts lip to 12 o'clock noon, and then forward to 24 at midnight. , Time to Select Men Who Will Accept. It is now said to be questionable whether J. W. Midgley will accept the position of assistant traffic manager of the Central Traffic Association. The manager of a Chicago road is quoted by the Chicago Times as saying, regarding the appointment, that Orland Smith is a gentleman of no great fame in the railway world, although having had some valuable experience in various capacities. But he was never dreamed of or mentioned as an aspirant, and there is some motive for his appointment that does not appear on the surface. The choice of Air. J. W. Alidgley as assistant commissioner is regarded as so absurd that one is left to doubt the accuracy of the news. He is at present the commissioner of the Southwestern Railway Association, one of the most important pools in tho country. He is acknowledged to be one of the brightest railroad men in the country, a student of railroad problems, a clear thinker, i ndowed with executive ability, and in his profession the peer of Fink, or any of the more prominent railroad commissioners. To ask him to resign an independent position in the strongest and most successful pool in the country, to accept a subordinate place in an association that is itself subordi nate and a sort of fifth wheel to the eastern trunk-line coach, is regarded by the Chicago managers too ridiculous to be thought of. The Product of Conjecture. The annual meeting of the Northern Pacific corporation next month gives rise to some speculation, and there are various stories of the efforts of Vanderbilt, Gould, tbe Rock Island railroad aud other powers to “get control,” to “reinstate Villard,” or to give the ascendency to Mr. Billings or to Mr. Wright of Philadelphia. Those stories apparently are mostly the product of conjecture. The Northern Pacific is a big corporation, and. its stock is widely scattered, though it may be doubted if Air. Villard will bring homo a large amount of proxies from Europe. The road is doing well, the country tributary to it is raising big crops this year, and it is not clear what would be gained by over- ' throwing the regime of Robert Harris, the present president. The fact that Air. Cable, of the Rock Island road, is enjoying a trip along the Northern Pacific does not necessarily imply that he will come home with it in his pocket, or that the Union Pacific is to gather it in because Traffic Manager Kimball is making a health and pleasure-seeking trip over the line. A Creditable Document. No more creditable document was ever issued from any railroad office than President Adams’s report upon Union Pacific, says the Boston Transcript It was clear and to the point in every respect. There is no longer any mystery about Union Pacific. These semi-annual reports answer every question of debt and earnings. The report of yesterday was a surprise to everybody in that it showed earnings for the past year at nearly 5 per cent., and a net reduction in debt of above $5,000,000. No one need carp at President Adams's first year of practical railroading. Tlie Central and West Shore Advance Rates. New York, Aug. 17. —At midnight last night orders were issued from the offices of the general passenger agents of the New York Central and West Shore railroads, directing the local ticket agents on those roads to discontinue the sale of the cent a mile tickets to all points east of Utica on the Central and to Oneida Castle on the West Shore road; also to advance the local rates to two cents a mile between New York city and those points. This advance restores tho local rates to the prices ruling before the cut in rates of October of last year. To points beyond Utica the New Y r ork Central is still selling tickets at special rates, the fare to Syracuse to-day being $5.50; to Rochester. $6, and to all points between Rochester and Buffalo, $0.50, To Detroit the faro is $7, and to Chicago the old rate of $9.50 is still maintained. Miscellaneous Notes. The Union Pacific is said to be about negotiating tho sale of $4,000,000 of its treasury bonds, with the proceeds of which it will extinguish all its floating debt. The New 7 York Central Sleeping-car Company are about to send the Boston & Albany a number of new cars for the Western expresses to replace the old-fashioned sleepers now iu use. The Omaha and Grant smelter, doing business at Denver, paid to the Union Pacific road during the last twelve months for the transportation of ore, bullion, fuel, etc., the sura of $1,175,000. It seems that the West Shore has not paid over to connecting hues its through freight collections, and several, if not .411 of them, have issued notice that hereafter all freight bound for points on that, road must be prepaid. Recent, statistics show that a passenger can travel 503,568.000 miies upon Massachusetts railroads without beine killed. 211.046,000 upon New York roads, and only 177.251,000 upon the railways of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. It is officially announced that the general offices of the Gould railroad system in Texas will be transferred immediately from St. Louis 1o Dallas. Ground will be broken in a few davs for tho erection of a magnificent building for the company’s offices. The Atlantic & Pacific company expects to reap a substantial advantage from the removal of the herds of the cattle barons from the Indian reservation. Many of these parties are in treaty with the company for the purchase of available tracts of grazing land along its line. Col. W. I). Alann, of the Mann Boudoir Car Company, states that tho first Alann car which was run between Boston and New York was a great success. The total length of time they wore run was fifty two days, and the net receipts w r ero $6,363, and represents the largest amount of money earned on parlor aud sleepingcars. The division of expenses for transfer privileges at Council Bluffs by the lines centering there is now made on tho following basis: The Union Pacific pays one-half, and the other half is divided equally between the Rock Island, Wabash, Northwestern. St. Paul and Burlington. The charges thus provided for are for the renting of transfer depot, switching of cars, hauling of freight, etc. Chicago Business ‘ says: “A broad smile suffused the faces of railroad men when they heard the report that the Rook Island was on the point of buying the Northern Pacific. The Rock Island is also on the verge of absorbing tho Van derhilt and Baltimore Ohio systems, to say nothing of the Pennsylvania and Huntington roads. When these mouthsful are properly digested, the Rock Island will sw 7 allow the earth, ana last of all will swallow itself. After that chaos." On Saturday, Aug. 8, the day of General Grant’s funeral, 1,200 passenger trains w 7 ere run into and out of the Grand Central Depot in New' York, which is used by the New York Central & Hudson River and the New York, New Haven Ac Hartford roads. This largo number of trains was handled without delay or accident, and without difficulty, mainly on account of the excellent system of block signals and of interlocking signals and switches in use there, which was completed not long ago by the Union Switch and Signal Company. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is characterized by three peculiarities: First, the combination of remedial agents. Second, the proportion. Third, the process of securing the active medicinal qualities. The result is a medicine of unusual strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.

A CONGREGATIONS JUBILEE. Members of the First Methodist Protestant Church Rejoice Over Their Good Fortune. Last night the congregation of the First Methodist Protestant Church, corner of Dillon street and Hoyt avenue, held a jubilee meeting over the event of clearing the indebtedness of the church. The pastor, Rev. John Heim, preached a short discourse upon the text, “Who is willing, then, to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?” He referred to the building of the first temple by David, who desired a magnificent place of worship, and contrasted the temple of earth and clay with the spiritual temple of immortal beings. Besides the work of erecting temples to the name of God, the pastor claimed another and higher duty of man is to consecrate his soul to the Omnipotent One. Rev. S. AI. Lowden, of Shelby county, secretary of the board of Church Extension, then gave a short account of the building of the church, and its financial struggles. The church was constructed about five years ago, by order of the Indiana Conference, which agreed to furnish all tho money needed for its erection. But tho conference failed to abide by its promises after the church was completed, and the matter was taken up by the active members, who, by working hard, collected by subscription all but SI,OOO, which had to be borrowed of Joseph J. Amos, of Rushville. Amos took a mortgage on the church to secure the debt, which lias, until the last few days, remained unpaid. Lately he gave notice that he would dispose of the church if not paid the amount due him. This aroused the congregation, which again resorted to the subscription list, raised the money and paid off the last cent. A regular programme was carried out during the evening. Good singing was rendered; tho cburch was tastily decorated with flowers, and a huge stone crock was set upon the altar in which the mortgage was to be burned before the public gaze, but it was decided upon full consideration, to preserve the document in the archives of the church. At the close of the meeting a lawn festival was held on the church grounds. The pastor and his congregation were naturally feeling very good over the improved condition of affairs, and both feel newly inspired to work and worship. The annual conference of the church will meet next Wednesday at Groveland, Putnam county. A RAILROAD TO BE SOLD. Judge Woods Orders the Sale of the Chicago & Great Southern. An order was issued in the federal court by Judge Woods, yesterday, for the sale of the Chicago & Great Southern railway, which runs from Fair Oaks through Newton, Jasper, Benton, Warren, Fountain and Clay counties, to Brazil. The road has been in the hands of a receiver for some time, and has been steadily losing money. The order for the sale is made upon tne petition of Henry H. Porter, who holds the bonds of the company for $1,200,000. The order of the court states that interest coupons are due as follows: From July 1, 1882, $42,480; Jan. 1, 1883, $41,400; July 1, 1883, $40,320; Jan. 1, 1854, $59,240; July 1, 1884, $38,160; Jan. 1, 1885, $37,080; July 1,1885, $36,000, making a total of $274,650. The principal and interest amounts to $1,474,680. The decree orders the foreclosure of the mortgage securing this indebtedness, and the sale of the road by W. •P. Fishback, master in chancery, in this city at an early day. The sale is to be for cash, and no bid for less than $300,000 shall he accepted. At least SIOO,OOO in cash shall be paid down at the time of the bidding, aud the balance when the sale is confirmed by the court. Alaster in Chancery Fishback is now in New 7 Alexico, but he has been notified of the order, and it is exfected that the sale will be made within thirty or forts' days. Keeling’s Troubles Thickening. Warrants w 7 ere yesterday issued for the arrest of John Keeling, who fought Rash Saturday evening, bombarded his wife’s house some hours later, and drove through the streets at a mad speed. Fast driving, malicious trespass and assault and battery with intent to kill are the charges against him. On the latter charge he was arrested by a deputy sheriff, and gave bond in the sum of SSOO to answer in tho Criminal Court to the information filed against him by Prosecutor Harding. The other warrants the police will serve. On Saturday evening Keeling surrendered to Esquire Pease and gave bail to answer a charge simply of assault and battery yesterday. The prosecutor, however, asked the magistrate to dismiss the case, which he refused, and bound him over for further trial in a small sum, without the State being represented. The prosecutor’s wish was to have Keeling tried in the Criminal Court for intent to kill. If ho is fined by Esquire Pease and then tried in the Criminal Court on another charge growing out of the same offense, Keeling’s attorney, no doubt, will use the magistrate’s finding for all it is worth. Keeling, to vary the monotony of his freaks, bought two ounces of laudnum yesterday afternoon, and went about town bidding friends good-bye. He came to Turnkey Taffe, who took the poison from him. when the would-be suicide returned to Hendricks, the druggist, for another supply. The druggist refused to give him any more. Work House Rids. The County Commissioners yesterday awarded to George Weaver the contract for constructing the cistern at the work house, at his bid as follows. Cistern per barrel, 4S cents; each filter in Portland cement, $19.50: each iron rim and cap, $4.50; six inch tile connection. 30 cents per foot; eight inch, 38 cents; ten inch, 45 cents. The competing bidders for this work were John P. Cruse, who was 22 cents higher per barrel for cistern and charged a few cents more on the tile list; A. B. Brunner, who wanted 65 cents per barrel, $25 for each catch basin and a few cents lower on the tile than either Weaver or Cruse. The bid of Weaver was considered the best all around. For the plumbing, C. W. Meikel & Cos. offered to do it for $1,300, J. Giles Smith, for $998, Freamy and Brothers, $960; Clark & AlcGauley. $1,235; Aneshaensel & Strong. $1,173.82. The contract was awarded to Freamy and Brothers. R. R. Rouse offered to drive one and a half inch wells at $1 per foot, while Merrill & Company's bid was 65 cents. They got tho contract. For the furnaces the bidders were Kruse & Dewenter, $1,365; A. F. Fay, $1,377; Gardner, $795.35: McQuall, $1,070, and Johnston <fc Bennett, $l,lOO, No letting was made on these propositions. A. Bruner received the award for laying sewer pipe and basin connection at 30, 35, 38, 40, and 43 cents per foot, according to size of pipe, from six to twelve inches. George Rook in Indianapolis. George Rook, ex champion middleweight of the United States, has come to Indianapolis, probably for permanent residence, and will open a school for tbe instruction of young men in the art of self-defense. Rook has just finished the course of instruction in that line which he was employed by the government to give the West Point cadets. Kook is a celebrated wrestler,' trainer and sparrer. and has met in the ring the best men of the country. An Issue as to Mining Stock. An agreement was reached Sept. 20. 1878, between R. N. Leatherwood, Dr. 11. R. Allen, both of this city, and C. W. Tozer, of Tucson, A. TANARUS., whereby Leatherwood surrendered to the others

3,000 shares of stock in a mine of the Aravaca group. Allen with 2,000 shares, the other thied going to Tozer, was to reorganize the company, and out of the proceeds of the first sales of stock agreed to pay Leatherwood SI,OOO due him on the trade. This payment was to be made within six months of the date of the agreement. Five hundred dollars on this account is credited to Allen, but for the remainder Leatherwood yesterday began suit in the Superior Court, placing his damages at SI,OOO.

FINANCIAL 23 Walt, St., Nf.w York, Aug. 11. 1885. Having received the assent of more than a majority of the $50,000,000 First Mortgage Bomb of the New York. West Shore and Buffalo Railway Cos. to the plan of reorganisation and lease contained in our circular of July 25. 1885, we hereby give notice that we shall terminate, at the close of business on Tuesday, August 25, the privilege of accepting the offer therein made. Foreign holders can deposit bonds up to that date with Messrs. J. i>. Morgan & Cos., in London. Temporary receipts will be exchanged for engraved receipts in amounts of $1,003 and SIO,OOO each, upon presentation at our office on and after August 26. DREXEL, MORGAN & CO--23 Wall Strket, \ Nkw York, July 25, 1885. J To He First Mortgage Bondholders of He NEW FORK, WEST SHORE AND 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 we 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 and 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 he socured 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 per cent. Mortgage Bonds, and $10,000,000 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#ve years, or upon default in payment of interest for two consecutive years. Second—Thatof 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 liiver 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 and 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. Wo 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 the following conditions: • First—That their bonds shall be deposited with us, •with the agreement hereto attached duly executed by the depositors. Skcond —That at least a majority of the whole issue shall be deposited. Pending the deposit of such majority, temporary receipts will be given for the bonds. After a majority shall have been secured, temporary receipts will be exchanged for ehgraved receipts, negotiable in form, countersigned by the Union Trust. Company, in whose custody the bonds will remain until required by us for purposes of reorganization. In case a majority shall not be secured, and a reorganization perfected 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.
