AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. J E. Gimperling, superintendent of the Day,)pn & Irouton road, was in the city yesterday on *ffirial business. The 1., B. & \V. Niagara Falls excursion party, ■umbering 1.832. reached Buffalo safely yester day, promptly on time. Frank Ensworth, cashier at the C., H. & I. freight depot, left last night for New England •n a three weeks’ pleasure trip. Trustee Atkins, of the 1., D. & S. road, comes West to look after the property and see how matters are running—Receiver Hammond being detained East by sickness in his family. K Lockwood, the new traveling auditor of the 1 1. , N. A. 6c C. road, is in the city on official business. Like all the new officers of the L., N. A. <£: C. road, he i9 a stirring, genial fellow. Wna. R. McKeen. president of the Vandalia, B.J Mackey. president of the Evansville 6c Terre Haute road, and Manager McCrea, of the Peansylvania lines, left for their respective tomes last evening. The Midland road will make connection with Urn L , N. A. & C. at Westfield by Sept. I, and • **Y" is to be put in to accommodate the interchange of traffic which will come from this eraising of the two roads. There is (jnite a boom in passenger as well as tfrtdebt traffic. Seldom are the through and lorn l , trains more heavily laden with passengers thi, for a wt-ek past On several roads yesterday it was necessary to put on an extra coach to ■oenmodate the travel. President milliard, of the Indianapolis carhas secured a contract to build 200 box r*r for the Uniou Pacific road. The works, as u 9, are repairing hundreds of cars for tho fast♦rpjgbt lines, and in a few days wiil be giving •aoptoyment to 350 to 400 men. After Sept. 1 theCat_ada Southern line, it is *UU*d, will do its Indianapolis business over the PL, b 6c I. road entirely. Most of the little tm'Hoess it has bot;n doing for some months past ImA been about equally divided botween the Wabash and C., H. & I. Ob and after Sept. 1 C. IL King, who repre■•■ta tho Canada Southern fast-freight line at Jjetttsville, Kv., will as well represent the line at loiStananolis, • operating after the style of the Ifitae line, one agent doing the business at both points, with a competent dork at each place. N- K. Elliott, superintendent of transportation ®f tbe Vandaiia lines, states that the wife of Col. Jwsph Hill is still seriously ill with rheumatic trewbies. Two attempts have been made to rejdpvo her from St. Louis to Hot Springs, a wpweial car havina been sent for the purpose and ambulance provided, but her physicians have *& tune thought it unsafe for her to move. The 1.. D. & S. people are still running their lew rate excursion to Dakota.and ye-torday threw ■ bombshell into passenger circles by going fata territory of the C., St. L. & P. road, Logans- £■< division, and taking out forty excursionists. intimated that this drive of Colonel Shaw is likely to disturb the pleasant relations existing Jieretoforo between the L, L>. & S. and Pennsylvania people. Train No. 5, over the 1.. B. Sr W.—put on a few months since—which leaves Columbus, 0., • for the west at 9:30 a. m., is becoming one of the bst paying trains on the road. Six roads snake close connection at Columbus with this train. Between Columbus and Peoria it makes twelve connections with roads which are feeders. and at Peoria catches west-bound trains of ■ll roads running west from Peoria. Vice president and General Manager Malott, of the Union Railway Company, had hoped to have got the presidents and general manAgars of the roads in the Union Railway Company together next week, but President Ingalls, who is now at Old Orchard, Mo., telegrahed that he would not be home until Sept. 10, and Mr. hfftlott will endeavor to got the parties together by Sept. 15. The delay may be a good, thing, as nhould business continue to improve for the next two weeks as it has the last fifteen days the railroad officials will be so cheerful that they ■will take hold of the new union depot enterprise la earnest. The Mackey syndicate construction party, on the Evansville & Indianapolis extension to a connection with the Terre Haute and Southeastern road, yesterday reached Owl Prairie with the track, which is sixteen miles Northwest l>f Washington, Ind., and by Sept. 1 the track Will bo down to the Daviess county liue. The town heretofore known as Owl Prairie is berenfter to be known as Elnora, and indications are that a bright little town is to spring up there, now it is reached by rail. People on the line of the extension are said to be very enthusiastic over the manner President Mackey is pushing tho work. It is believed to be a mistake placing metropolitan police at the Union Depot. They naturally feel that their duties are only of a special police character, and while they pilot trains through Iho depot doubtless as well as would officials sot of the police force, they are seemingly ignorant regarding train points they run to. etc., and 6how an unwillingness to impart information to inquiring strangers at tho Union Depot, if they have such knowledge. The Union Railway Company pay these men, anu it would seem they might as well have men of their own act as policemen, who are well posted in railroad matters, which the metropolitan police ynnke no preteusions of being. Tho annual convention of the Brotherhood of fjoeomotive Firemen will be held at the Chestnut street Opera-house in Philadelphia, one week, beginning Monday. Sept. 21. There are at present about 21)0 different lodges of the brotherpood, with an aggregate membership of 15,000. !>o!egates will be present from about 260 lodges. Girard Hotel will be the headquarters for all the ftelogates. Frank AV. Arnold, grand master, And K ugene V. Debs, grand secretary and treasurer, with about nineteen members, will cornpier (ne grand lodge delegation at Philadelphia. Tha Terre Haute Gazette savs: The addresses of hi tsars. Debs and Arnold are always looked forward to with interest by members of the jeeavention. Addresses will also be delivered by Governor Pattison and Congressman Randall, of Pennsylvania. At the close of tho convention no Saturday, Sept. 20, a grand excursion to the A? shore will be given. Several “Its and And*” in the Way. There seems to be several important questions |* be settled in the South Pennsylvania railroad eontroversy. The Philadelphia Press says: “The questions will be entirely with the courts. The Bupreme Court will have to decide whether the provision of the Constitution prohibiting the Acquisition of parallel and competing roads is in force. If the Supreme Court decides that it is, it will reverse the decision quoted the other day, that to give effect to the provisions of an article of the Constitution an enactment of the Legislature is necessary, especially when the Constitute makes it mandatory on the legislature to Act, as it does in this case. This part of the case 1a matter entirely for the court, it being a question of law. if it is decided that the conAlitutionai provision is already binding, the question will then arise whether the South JVansylvania railroad, which has not. a mile of IrAck laid, is a competitive line. This will be u saAtter for the jury. Another question will be. whether th* Pennsylvania railroad lias really purchased the South Pennsylvania, which may or may not be the fact, and which will be difficult to prove, as some care has been taken not to tsvolve the company in the purchase. When the sale was first talked of. the Press printed the fact that the whole transaction with tho PennAjrlvaijia railroad involved only the Beech creek, pod that in the legal papers nothing was said About the South Pennsylvania. Asa matter of fact the latter road will be purchased and paid fur by a leading firm of bankers." flanl T lines No Excuse tor Purchasing Poor Meet Kails. The statement that some of the roAds Are puflerers in their roadbeds through the poor quality of the steel rails some of tho mills are tuning out has stirred up the steel rail makers. Th* PWlad'-lphia Times says: “Somebody—poaaribly somel*ody who has more iron rails on futnd than he can sell—is trying to get up a steel fail panic over a statement of the chief engineer pf the Michigan Central railroad that steel rails |a4 on tha t line in 1884 have already been re jAWod on account of llowiug,' ‘spreading, 1 and

other ills that rails aro heir to. Tho Scientific Ameriran explains that some steel manufac turers have been mixing cinder with the steel made up into rails, and insinuates that the hard up Michigan Central has been buying cheap goods." Times have been hard for railroads of late, and perhaps the Scientific American is right. The best economy is to buy the best article in the market, but it is not the economy practiced by struggling railroads. And yet no other consumers of manufactured articles are under such obligations to buy the best. Other consumers buy largely for themselves, but railroads buy for the public. The duty of protecting human life should be the first consideration, aud passenger traffic will inevitably slip fronT the companies that neglect it. The Wabash Strike a Fizzle. It must be admitted that the Wabash strike has not panned out so far to any remarkable extent. Whether this is because the strikers that are to be are waiting till they are good and ready, or whether it is because the railway officials are managing to get along without coming iu contact with any of the rules which the Knights of Labor have laid down for the government of members, is not exactly apparent at this distance. So far, however, but few men have quit work, and of these few a portion, at least, have returned to the shops. The public will have hopes that a difference that is so long delayed without a suspension of work will be adjusted bet%veen the parties in dispute, and no strike occur at all. General Manager Talinage, of the Wabash, denies the report that he said he would break up the organizations of Knights of Labor on that line, and would then turn his attention with like purpose to the Brotherhood of Engineers; but Mr. Turner, of the general executive board of the knights, says in reply that he has an official letter t>y Talmage in which this intention is declared. Here is a question of veracity between leading parties to the trouble on the Wabash, and affecting a vital point in the trouble, so let us have tho letter in print Not only is tho material interest of the country involved in this trouble, but the country's sense of justice and fair-play is awakened by it Public opinion will force the trouble to a conclusion soon or late, and the public ought to have the facts in the case set forth in black and white. This letter, if there bo such, is an important fact iu the case. Give it to the printer. Fast Time Still To Be Made, With the dropping of the limited trains on the Vandalia and the C., St L. & P. t in September, tho time of the fast express trains is to be again shortened, and no more stops are to be made than now made by the limited trains. Coming east No. 8, the fast day express, will leave St. Louis at DA. m., one hour later than it now does; reach Indianapolis at 4.40 p. M., and Pittsburg the next morning, in season to connect with tho limited train over tho Pennsylvania road proper. Train No. 0, night express, which now leaves St. Louis at 7 p. m., will not leave until 8 p. M.; reach Indianapolis at 4:15 A. M., but fifteen minutes later than it now does, and reach Pittsburg in season to connect with ono of tho fastest trains over the Pennsylvania road proper. Under this change a St. Louis passenger is but ono hour longer on on the road from St. Louis to New York than he would be if the limited trains were continued, while an Indianapolis passenger is but thirty minutes longeron the road. The .only change on trains going West, which affects Indianapolis, is that of train No. 11, which will, after Sept. 1, leave Indianapolis at 7:30 A. M. Tho favorable changes noticed above will do much toward allaying the disappointment at the taking off of the limited trains, as by a shortening of the time the express trains run about as rapidly. A New Railroad Scheme. A company has been organized to build a road from Lafayette to Terre Haute, eighty-two miles, passing through Tippecanoe, Fountain, Parke and Vigo counties, to Torre Haute, principal office to be at Lafayette. Resolutions adopted pledging the directors and managers to use best judgment, wisdom, impartiality, honesty and integrity in locating the line, distributing stations, letting of contracts, purchasing of labor and material. Directors, Saul Mehary, George J. Henninger, Andrew C. McCorkle, Nicholas Fisher and Adam Blinn, 6.006 shares to be sold at $lO per share, payable in four monthly installments of $250 each, to be used for purchase of right of wav, terminal facilities and other expenses. The road is to be known as the Lafayette, Newtown & Wabash railway. Trying to Oust Henninger. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayettk, Ind., Aug. 2G.—Suit was brought in the Tippecanoe county Circuit Court, to day, by Carl Winter, secretary of tho Lafayette, Burlington & Western railway, against George J. Henninger, president of the same company, to recover SII,OOO, money past due on a note executed by defendant The plaintiff is the principal stockholder iu the company, and has advanced largo sums of money toward the construction of tho road. Henninger has had the entire confidence of the other officers and stockholders until lately, and has run things to suit himself. He persistently refused to render a proper account of expenditures until the directors lost confidence in him, and were anxious for his removal. The object of the suit brought is to remove him from the presidency and get possession, bv execution, of one thousand SSO shares held by him as pay for official services, in addition to money advauced by stockholders. The directors say the action will not interfere with the final construction of the road. The West Shore Negotiations. Boston, Aug, 26. —The Transcript says: “We have it from responsible parties interested in the negotiations that not a binding document for the purchase of the West Shore or the sale of the Beech Creek or South Pennsylvania road has yet been drawn. Mr. Vanderbilt has made an offer for the West Shore, hut he does not take tho West Shore bonds. He will buy the road, and this only after foreclosure and when a pertect title has been obtained.” A Stranger’s Feculiar Illness. Yesterday morning, James Parsons, of Lafayette, twenty five years of age, came to the Sherman House, and. registering, asked for a room. During the afternoon he was found lying on his bed unconscious. At times he had violent attacks of vomiting. Dr. Hodges was sent for, but he could reach no satisfactory diagnosis, and ordered Parsons to be removed to the hospital. The patient strenuously resisted when they sought to take him to Planner & Hornmown’s ambulance, but a policeman, porter of the hotel, and ambulance driver finally got him into the vehicle. At the hospital his affliction could not be definitely described. It is thought he is attacked by spinal meningitis. Parsons is supposed to be the traveling man of a Lafayette house. _ Real F,htatt> Transfers.

GARFIELD'S CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. The Martyred Presidents Pastor Lectures on Ilia Personal Beliefs aud Characteristics. Dr. Frederick D. Powers, of Washington City, lectured last night at the Central Christian Church, on “The Christian Life of President Garfield.” Dr. Powers was President Garfield s pastor at Washington City for many years, and was long and intimately associated with him. An appreciative audience listened for an hour to the lecturer, who spoke mainly from personal knowledge and recollection. m He said that the sorrow of one summer still lingers. Numbers of people come to Garfield’s old church, look upon his pew, and sadly turn away. Garfield was a Christian brother whose crown was goodness, and whose loss to the world was irreparable. The death of Napoleon did not touch the public heart; Beaconsfield gave up life amid no widespread lamentation; over Webster’s grave the Nation did not bow its head, with tears —but, when Garfield’s tragic fate was known, the world wept and mourned. The life of Garfield was full of usefulness to his country. His style of manhood was such as Christianity only could mould. Ho was a man of the highest type, in whom conscience held the supreme sway. Garfield’s ancestors were of Saxon origin, and of praying habits. When four years old ho won a Testament in a contest for excellent standing at school, and by that book he trained his whole subsequent life. Asa boy, Garfield was conspicuous for hia steady behavior and studious habits, which enabled him in later life to lay some claims to scholarship, and to either discourse learnedly upon historical themes, grow eloquent over tho myth of Homer, or preside' with diguity and grace over a college institution. He was a true champion of Cnrist.. who was blessed in having a prayerful, intelligent and noble-minded mother. Garfield often said to his friends, “My mothers prayers have made me what I am.” As Susanna Wesley trained her sons, Charles and John, for immortal greatness, or as the kiss of tho mother of West made him a painter, so the mother of Garfield molded her son to reach, step by step, the highest gift in the hands of his countrymen. Garfield early became a religious man, and in his struggle for eminence and fame, the church gave him his brightest inspirations and encouragements. The key of his success was his earnest and pious determination. Since tho time when as a college boy he spent six hours in mastering two sentences in Caesar’s Commentaries, nothing was too arduous for his accomplishment. His young manhood was spent in the capacity of a college president and then as a minister of the gospel. These vocations were but mighty stepping stones to his after and greater career. When the timo came for him to enter upon his political career, with characteristic respect ho consulted his mother, who approved of his new step, and prayed that he would take his religion and Christian experience along with him into politics. This Garfield did, and he became the Christian statesman, who never forgot the church, or ceased to read, the Bible, or neglected a mother’s counsel. He served God with a higher love than he served his country, and claimed that secular duties were not for men, but God. Garfield was not a perfect man, as no mortal stuff can be, but he was true, manly and honest. His noble action on inauguration day was characteristic of the man. He first kissed the verse in the Bible, “The king is in the hand of the Lord,” and then his mother and wife. In 1860 he and Jeremiah Black sought President Johnson, on several occasions, and implored him to tender a governmental position to a poor minister whose church was embarrassed with debt. Some people thought the trio were engaged in a conspiracy. To these Garfield replied: “We are engaged in a conspiracy, sir, to have the gospel of Christ preached in Washington according to tho testimony of the twelve apostles.” In the army he always opened and closed the day with religious worship, and during the Republican convention at Chicago he was found by searching friends to be engaged in prayer at a Christian church near by. Garfield was no silent Christian, but an nctive worker in the church. *He was a man who was controlled by religious forces. Taking into consideration the looseness of Washington life, the poverty and recklessness of the times, tha piety of Garfield was tho most remarkable since the days of the martyrs. He protested and rebelled against the use of wine in social life at the Capitol. Although lie never took a temperance pledge, he was yet a Christian, working and pleading for sobriety. Garfield was lord over his appetites and desires, and preserved his body in purity as though it were a temple of the gods. He has been assailed as sympathizing with Ingersoll, but they were only friends in politics. When Ingersoll spoke at his brother’s grave, alluding to the “silent and pathetic dust, every life a tragedy,” and so on, Garfield was touched, and earnestly endeavored to convert his friend to the Christian faith He claimed that two forces, the schoolmaster and tho Biole, are the hope of the country. There was a vein of sadness in all of Garfield's political victories. He was not glad to liavo national responsibility thrust upon his shoulders. There was a cloud overhanging all his political career, and he believed that he was fated to a tragic death. As there was exactly twenty years between his election as President and that of Lincoln and of Harrison, and, as Indiana was the deciding State in each contest, so he came to the conclusion that, like them, he would die soon after his inauguration. Garfield had a far-reaching faith and sublime trust in God. His life is an inspiration to young men who do not know the greatness of goodness. Men who had never seen him loved him for his simple virtues, llis genius was apparent in all he did, but it was overshadowed by his goodness, “I know God. and trust myself in his hands,” He said on his sick-bed. While at El heron he heard the congregation singing, in a neighboring church, the lines, “Jesus lover of my soul,” and arising in the bed, he took up the next line, saying, “Let me to Thy bosom fly.” These were almost his last words. On his death-bed he recited the opening line of Tennyson's “In Memoriam,” “Strong son of God, He is immortal love,” saying that he felt their full meaning. The speaker closed with a touching recital of the funeral scene, and the burial. Tho lecture was well attended, and listened to with iuterest by all. The State-House Plaza. The opinion is expressed by one of the Statehouse commissioners that if the propcsition for making a plaza in front of the new capitol building is properly presented to the next Legislature it will bo indorsed, and he believes that means will be promptly provided for the improvement. It is suggested that the ground on the east side, extending from Vice president Hendricks’s residence to the Dime Museum building could be condemned for the purpose proposed, or that a way could be opened between the State house and Military Park. Farewell Social. In view of the possibility that next Sunday will terminate the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Marine with Central-avenue Church, of this city, a farewell social will be given at the church to-mor-row (Friday) night, to which all members and friends of the church and congregation are cordially invited. All the friends of Dr. Marine, whether of the church or not, will be warmly welcomed. • Want Their Money. The Globe Mutual Assessment Life Association has been sued by Cassius C. Bradford and Samuel Moore. They complain that a policy tor $2,000 issued in their interest on the life of Cassius Bradford’s father, who died last year, has not been paid. Objecting to a Guardian’s Report. In the Circuit Court, yesterday, objections to the guardian’s report of Mrs. Caroline Shaub were hearth Her ward, Maggie Marshall, resists the approval of the report, because, as she al-

leges, the guardian ill treated her, and Mrs. Schaub says Maggie was a willful charge. It was in evidence that Maggie wanted to work for her living, to which the guardian objected, and tried to have her cared for in the house of tho Good Shepherd becai se she would not stay at her house. PERSONAL MENTION. State Auditor Rice is confined in his room by illness. Maj. George W. Grubbs, of Martinsville, was in the city yesterday. General Mahlon D.
