AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. IVrsonal and Local. The L.. N. A.-& C. railroad employee vrill hare ,n ~k.nic at Pekin on the 26th inst. O. E. Henderson, manager of the 1., B. & W., has pone to Ohio to be absent until Friday. The excursion to Dayton. 0., over the 0.. St. h. & P., on the 20th, promises to be a pleasant affair T. W. Burrows, of St. Louis, superintendent ©f the I. Sc St. L., is in the city. He says all they want now is cars, which fall considerably below the demand. Cross-road or sub agents are again becoming numerous, and with them comes a general demoralization of rates. It is but ninety days smee ail Indianapolis roads agreed to withdraw iota class of rato-demoralizers. There is a current report that Mr. Hugh Riddle will be offered the position of arbitrator of the Central Tariff Association. It w ill need the active resources of such an official, withoutdoubt, ardperhr.ps Mr. Riddle can be induced to accept, if tie would not accept the of general manager. Complaints of a scarcity of cars, for the first time in two years. is heard It is stated that three weeks ago there were fully 15.000 empty bo*-cai\s standing on side tracks at different points on Indianapolis lines, and nearly all are now in service. In tact, several roads are now borrowing cars. The Indianapolis, Decatur & Indianapolis people assert their independence by allowing any feat freight line to run onto their road and get business. Within the last fortnight cars of nine rust freight lines have been loaded on their road. In fact, the road seems to be feeding every ecattrn road out of Indianapolis. Complaint is again made of the reckless speed at which J., M. Sc I. trains are run within the city limits. Tt is stated that it is not an uncommon thing for trains, when backiugout of the Union Depot to the yards in the eastern part of the city, to run at a spe and of twelve to fifteen miles per hour over the union tracks. TheC., I. St. L. & C. is carrying a heavy tonnage of provisions from Chicago to southeastern points. Fifteen to twenty cars per day ■re passing through here, consigned to Richmond, Va., parties. Shipments of wheat over tins line to Southern points is proving quite an important feature of their business. The Lumber Ceutral Association hold a special meeting at Cleveland, 0., to day. The Bee line, the 1., B. AW., the t\, St. L. & P., and C., H. & I>. are members of the association. In the matter of the maintenance of rates the membership have behaved remarkably well thus far this season, profiting no doubt by the bitter lesson of last year. A. J. Smith, general passenger agent of the Bc line system, and Dave Martin, who represents the Bee line at St, Louis with so much ability, are to be in the city to day on official business. The Bee-line people have reason to be gratified that they are so rapidly regaining their former popularity with the traveling public. A good track, fine equipments and fast time are wiut catch the travel. A Chicago railroad man has received a letter from E. T. Jeffery, genera 1 , superintendent of tin Illinois Central, now traveling in Euro pa He has been devoting some time to an examination of the English railway system, especially in its traffic operations, and mentions as one of kin eonclusioys that while more revenue is derived from the business carried, more money is ■pent in obtaining it. Mr. Jeffery is in Brussels this week attending the railroad congress in ■ft-sicn at that place. Superintendents Sherwood, Turner, and Bonder, who were selected as arbitrators of the ? nations at issue between the Bee-line and the .. B. & W. Company, relating to the recent collision on the Belt road, have rendered their decision, which, in effect, was that each company shouch repair its own equipments. Seldom oops an accident occur where it is so difficult to ascertain which was the most in fault. Had either of the train crews, it is stated, been Birictly attending to business, the accident might have bofjp avoided. TheC., 11. &D. people are in the arrears in rental to the Union Railway Company $31,000, as the latter foot it up. That is on the basis of *SOO per mouth prior to the reorganization of the Union Railway, and their proportion as paid by the oth <j r r ids since the reorganization. The <l, H. &D. people claim that their contract with the old Union Railway Company, which Was that they should pay SSOO per month, is not effected by the going out of existence of the old company. Probably next mouth the courts will settle the question. It is understood that H. Porter, who holds the 6rst mortgage bonds,amounting to $1,400,000, on the Chicago <fc Great Southern road, will bid the property in at the coming foreclosure sale. An -outsider could not afford to pay more than $300,<XX\ it is said, in such condition is the property. The foreclosure sale is one of the steps to he taken which insures the extension of the road to Brazil, Clay county. The C. Sc G. S. road is eighty miles iu length, and in much the same rendition as was the Loeansport, .Crawfords▼ille & Southwestern road, for which the McKeen syndicate paid $300,000. The following circular has been issued by the e*nmissioner of the Western Freight Association: “Shipments intended for exhibition at the Omaha Fair and Exposition, to be held at Omaha, Neb. Sept. 4 to 11, 1885, also consignments to Lincoln, Neb., intended for exhibition *t the State Fair, to beheld at that place Sept. 11 to 18, 1885, forwarded from Eastern Association yxMuts, will be charged at regular tariff rates to Omaha or Lincoln, as the case may be, and returned free to the point on the line of this association from whence shipped, upon presentation of certificate, signed by the secretary of.the fair, that the property has been on exhibition usd has not changed ownership."

T&fortunate for the Canada Southern Line. Probably no railroad interest suffered more by 1k Wabash taking under its control the Ind'.aaapolis, Peru & Chicago road than has the Canals Southern fast-freight line. For nine years prior to the deal the Canada Southern hauled out of this section a larger tonnage than did any other line, unless it be the White line, aud to its re4:t, the management never allowed their •prats to cut rates, and, in fact, withdrew from Uw> market when the low-rate fever on. In Isßfithe line did its best business, and its earni*e per month for several months of the year wtrre over $150,000, ana in no month did they fa.', below SIO,OOO. Since the Wabash took the 1., P. & C. road, there seems to have a coolness sprung up toward the line which the *mi earnest work of R C. J. Pendleton, their g**nt, could not ovenome, and the earnings hi re from year to year and month to month ■teadily declined, until in the year 1884. the framings have ranged from $2,000 to $3,000 per TOonth. The line has been thrown off of the J., I by the arbitrary ru’inge of its management, and practically now has only Indianapolis tosecuro business from,and this •would be entirely local, as the Vandalia. the I. & St. L., and the I-. B. & W. all have eastern outlets of their own to look after here. Hence, it is more than probable that on September 1 the line will withdraw from Indiana polis. Will Likely find in ltmnors. There are rumors that Mr. Gowen will lead a fight irvtbe courts to prevent the transfer of the South Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Gowen has bad a much-needed vacation, and, after having enjoyed a rest, it is natural that ho would want to go to work again, and opposing the Pennsylvania in the courts is about as congenial a job as could be suggested to him. While it is not likely that Mr. Gowen will succeed in accotn phahing anything, it. is also not likely that he will let such a chance slip without an effort. All bis friends, however, on this side have con eluded to sacrifice themselves, and accept Mr. Vanderbilt's terms, except Dr. Hostetter. Steering Clear of l’ools. Manager McDonald, of tho Champaign & Havana road, shows a disposition to remain out aide of pools. The Decatur Herald says many Decatur merchants huv discovered that the C. A 11. L. railway does not belong to the Decatur freight pool, and they are preparing to take advantage of the fact The road is entirely Independent of other lines in Decatur, and 4MMLiagly is free to act as it pleases. Avery

large share of the grain trade has already fallen to the O. & H. L. since it is free to quote rates below those offered by the pool. Merchants are bestirring themselves to make it profitable to keep the C. & H. L. out of the pool, and to make it profitable to the road to remain out. by giving it an unusually large amount of freight. Such dealers order all their freight from Cincinnati, Chicago, New York, and other points East via the C. & H. L., receiving in every instance a less rate than they could otherwise obtain. The Situation Brightening. That practical railroad men regard the business situation as improving, is shown by the current movement to restore rates to a paying level. It has been said that the much-talked of peace negotiations have left the railroads in no better condition than they were before, fares and freight charges being still ruinously low. It takes time to effect radical changes in the administration of such vast interests, but the railroad managers are at work iD earnest, and results are already beginning to appear. The progress towards a restoration of rates is most important. The first indication of the probable result of the agreement between the Pennsylvania and New York Central for the acquisition of the West Shore by the latter, is found in the notice given for the withdrawal of the thirty day mileage ticket at one cent a mile, issued by the New York Central, the West Shore following suit. The meeting of the Central Traffic Association, held at Commissioner Fink’s office, Commissioner Daugherty says, was the most harmonious meeting held there in nearly two years, and promises more happy results than any other. There was a unanimous agreement in favor of the restoration of the twenty cent rate between New York and Chicago, and the roads which were a party to this order are those which are not only the most deeply interested in carrying it out. but which have the power to do so if they so decide. The rate is not exorbitant, and will bear the cost of doing the business, but it will prevent traffic being carried at a loss and admit of an improvement in local rates which will add considerable to the revenue of the several companies concerned, without checking the movement of freight. The Southwestern pool also seems likely to get into working order, and steps are to be taken at once to put the pools at points like Chicago, St. Louis, Peoria, Indianapolis and Cincinnati in healthy working order. Beats All Former Records. T. A. Lewis, general manager of the Erie fastfreight line, was feeling nicely last evening over a fast run made between Chicago and New York with forty six car loads of tea. The tea was carried in cars of the Great Western Dispatch over the Chicago & Atlantic, the New York, Pennsylvania Sc Ohio, and the Erie road, and the run from Chicago to New York was made in thirty seven hours and forty minutes, the limited passenger trains, over which so much ado is made, are twenty-seven hours making the run. This is without question the fastest run ever made in this country with a freight train. The entire distance from Talomuh to New York city, 3,378 miles, was run at an unparalleled speed, as well, as it was covered in eight days and four hours, and the run from JSt. Paul to New York was made in sixty hours and forty-nine minutes. The highest speed, however, was attained between Chicago and New York. Smaller Dividends in Prospect. Stockholders of the Belt Road and of the Terro Haute & Indianapolis, the Evansville & Terre Haute, and Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, the only dividend-paying roads in the State, are not the only sufferers by a cutting down of their dividends. The old staunch road, the Chicago & Alton, makes its dividend rate 8, instead of 10, as heretofore, and will issue reports of its earnings as usual. In conversation with a prominent railway vice-president (and whoso road pays 7 per cent, on its common stock), ho remarked that some of the leading railroad men of the West were disposed to favor a uniform rate of 6 per cent, on those roads that now exceed that figure, this being considered a fair return for the investment. The tendency is unquestionably in this direction, and in the next few mouths there will probably be seen a number of announcements of 6 per cent, dividends where 7'<z 8 have been hitherto paid.

Miscellaneous Notes. The Cairo, Vincennes, &■ Chicago road is to be laid with steel track its entire length. The first news the public h-.d of the advanced rates on the Central and West Shore came from London. It will cost the Chicago & Western Railroad Company about $2,000,000 to get into Chicago, for right of way alone. Minneapolis has thirteen elevators, nine of which belong to tbe railroad companies or officials of roads centering there. According to the calculations of Narr & Ger lach, the Reading road will fall $4,000,000 be hind its fixed charges during the current fiscal year. It is said that there is a magnificent belt of cedar along the Northern Pacific railway, in Montana. It is in a single bodv, and is estimated at 100.000,000 feet The eighteenth volume of “Poor’s Manual of Railroads,” for 1885, has just been published. This is by far the most complete and* accurate work of the kind, and it has long been the standard of authority on matters pertaining to railroads. We gave a synopsis of the valuable information it contains some days ago. The report about Gould buying anew line in Texas (meaning the Fort Worth,) and that he would throw an increased amount of business over the M., K. & T. as a result, is nonsense, as he is already the virtual owner of the Fort Worth, which was built by a construction company, of which General Dodge was president. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, during the last seven years, has paid an average dividend of 8.18 per cent, yearly, besides a stock dividend of 20 percent. During this period it has placed to the credit of its renewal fund $0,000,000, and has carried over to surplus account $9,877,503. Its system comprises a total mileage of 4,143 miles. The tonnage of the Edgar Thomson steel works in all departments for July was: Blooming mill, first turn, 8,042 tons. 570 pounds; second turn, 7,195 tons, 1580 pounds; total, 14,240 tons, 1,150 pounds. Rail-mill, first turn, 5,820 tons, 1,150 pounds; second turn, 6,072 tons, 810 pounds; total, 11,892 tons, 1,900 pounds. Converting department, first turn, 7,472 ton 9, 2,000 pounds: second turn, 7,894 tons, 510 pounds; total, 5,367 tons, 270 pounds. LETTERS FROM THE FEOPLE. Acton’s Mistake. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: No doubt the managers of the Acton show realize that they made a mistake this year in abandoning their lake, for there have been rains enough to have kept it in fair boating condition. When it does not rain copiously the thing dries up, and there was a suspicion that the mud emitted unwholesome gases, hence it was abandoned. Could not the same results he realized from flying dutchmen. swings, roller coasters or rinks? These would furnish entertainment for the 6.450 who go for tho entertainments, while the 550 who go to worship could worship just as well with these in operation as with the boating, aud then there wouid be no danger from malaria. These are wholesome entertainments, aud they would bring even more at tbe gate than the lake, and twice as much royalty. Charity. P. S. Ought uot the Actonites and Bethanyites pool their incomes? Evidently they are in each other’s way. Only about 7,000 at Acton and not more than that at Bethany last Sunday. If a satisfactory pool cannot be effected, might not Acton begin a week earlier and Bethany a week later? This would furnish five or six consecutive Sundays for religious recreations, and the income would be increased to each. The hill at Bethany would afford a splendid place for a roller coaster. Charity. Tlie Acton Suuday Trains. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The assertion was made to-day that prior to the commencement of the Acton camp-meetings this State had a law that prohibited the running of Sunday trains, and so rigidly was it enforced that the New York mail, which arrived ic In dmuapolis at tl a. at., was forced to lay over until

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1885,

11 p. m. When the Acton meetings were started a committee was appointed to meet with the next Legislature, and through the efforts of this committee the law was repealed and the Sunday trains started. Will you please give to the public what information you have on the subject? ShelbyviLLF., Aug. 18. * * * The American Dollar-Mark. to the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: If I had been at the “London dinner" I would have given a different version of the origin of the American “dollar-marx" from that in your this morning’s issue. It is properly made with two marks, and not one, as you have it And it is an abbreviation or corruption of the initials of Uncle Sam, and is hence thoroughly American. Sherburne. THE CITY IN BRIEF. An unpaid note for $541 is the issue raised f by the complaint of McKee & Branham, filed yesterday against Alois Faxton. There will be an extra matinee at the Zoo this afternoon for the benefit of Harry Baker, who was wounded by a pistol shot on the 4th o£ last July.

The capital stock is $1,200, and is to bo devoted to the construction of a hall. The foreclosure of a mortgage for $1,400, given by Peter Routier and wife to Maria J. Lemoine, is tho basis of a suit filed by the latter yesterday. The new and old First National Banks and several others who have mortgages on the property, are made defendants. Dr. Loring, the Porter county health officer, claims that there is no truth in the statement published a few days ago, upon the authority of a letter written by I)r. Marr, to tho effect that he had neglected to thoroughly investigate the causes of the strange epidemic in that coutyS and- the State health officers say that they have found nothing at fault in his official conduct.
