AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. M. E. Ingalls, provident of tho 0., L, St L. & O, is expected in tho city to day. The United States Express Company will operate over the Indiana Midland road. John B. Carson, general manager of the L., N- A. & C., has gone to Philadelphia to attend the funeral of John McCullough. E. H. Hughes has been appointed general "Westeru passenger agent of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road, with headquarters at Chiago So heavy has been tho increase in local business the la>t few days that three or four of the Toads have put on additional switching engines *nd train crews. K, 11. Wade, superintendent of transportation of the Wabash, who has just returned from a triß over the line, says the outlook for winter 'business never was better. The Logausnort Division of the Brotherhood of Ixwomotive Firemen will give their eleventh annual ball on Thanksgiving eve. The Eureka Division, Indianapolis, will be well represented. Theentiro passenger equipment of the C., 11. D. lines is going through the shops and is being revarnnhed inside and on the exterior,upholstered wherever needed, and thoroughly repaired. Dave Edwards, Southwestern passenger *g*nt of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, spent yesterday in the city. He states that there is no troth in the rumor that Harry Fuller, general passenger agent, is to resign. In the twenty-four hours ending at 6 r. M. yesterday, 154 car-loads of hogs arrived at the .Indianapolis Livestock Yards, being the largest receipts of any day this year. It is expected that the receipts to-day will run up to 175 carloads. The title of Prince Albert Lynn is to be general agent of the Wabash at the Indianapolis terminus. He has full charge of employes in the yards, on the tracks, and about the station, and is held responsible should matters in any department move otherwise than smoothly. A3 a result of Superintendent Whitcomb's investigation of the trouble between employes on the Belt road. Monday night, the heads of five of the men dropped into the basket. The remarks made by some of the discharged men indicate that they are members of the Knights of Labor. The Pensylvania Company denies that the jn*t reduction of operating expenses has been obtained by allowing the physical condition of the road to deteriorate, and the officials say that euth a thing would not be possible, as the enormous traffic of the line compels the managers to keep it in a state of perfection. Copies of the new trunk-line pooling plan were received here yesterday, having been sent out to the affiliated lines for signature. There are *ome twenty five clauses, and it would seem as iS every possible precaution had been taken to arrange and protect all methods by which the traffic can be securely governed. General Passenger Agent Bronson, of the 1., B. A W.. is much disappointed that their new Woodruff combination coaches will not be received in time to put them on with the taking effect of the new time card, Nov. 15. The Woodruff company promise to have them ready for BtTvice the latter part of this month. The C., i., St. L. & C. people will, on the change of time, again put on what were known as the Kankakee and Seneca accommodation trains. The freight business of the Big Four, •shrough the connection made with the Chicago & lioek Island over this division, is again looming up, now that respectable rates are maintained by all lines. President Adams, of the Union Pacific, is of the opinion that there will be no serious difficulty in the Transcontinental association growing out of a declination of tho Southern Pacific to pay traffic balances. The roads, he says, have just begun to make a little money, and he cannot conceive that they will be foolish enough to •nter upon anew quarrel. A. F. Post, of New York, and E. N. Gibbs, of Norwich, Conn., have, for a few days past, in company with Superintendent Woodard, of the L., N. A. & C., been going over the entire system, carefully inspecting the property. Yesterday they passed over the Air-line division. Messrs. Post and Gibbs represent several of the largest holders of L., N. A. & C. bonds. Merchants are not grumbling over the proposed advance in west-bound rates. They have pot a good way to go to reach olden time rates. Jn war times first-class freights wore $3.12 per 100 pounds New York to Indianapolis. the war they dropped to $2.05, remained at that figure some time, then gradually dropped to $1 .40, where they stood for several years. Under the advance of Nov. 18 they will bo 71 cents per 100 pounds, or on the basis of 75 cents New York to Chicago. H. S. Jnlien, general superintendent of the American Express Company, has issued the following notice to employes: “On account of the continued ill-health of Mr. E. W. Sloane he has been granted an extended leave of absence, tak log effect Nov. 1, and during such absence, and uniil further notice, his duties will be performed by Mr. F. C Fargo, assistant superintendent, whose instructions will be respected accordingly.” Mr Sloane has been in the service of the company from its earliest history, and has done a vast amount of hard work. The attorney of the C., L, St. L. &C. road yesterday settled with A. Ressner and C. Schakle, who were injured when crossing the Big Four track on Pine street, Oct. 23. being thrown from a wagon in which they were riding. Each sued for $-1,000 but compromised, the former for S3GO, the latter for $220. The company are well satisfied that it was no fault of theirs that these persons were injured, but prefer to settle with them at tbe above figures rather than to stand suit with the uncertainty of the average juries, snanv of whom have for their motto—anything to heat a railroad company. The stockholders of tho Michigan City & Indianapolis road held their annual meeting yesterday and fleeted the following board of directors: Solon Humphreys, David Macy, V. T. 11alott, C. B. Stuart. C. H. Brownell. J. A. Thornton, A. L. Hopkins. This road extends from I* Porte to Michigan Citv, and was built by the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago Railroad Company to secure the lumber traffic of Michigan City. When the Wabash took it there was no debt on it, but the latter mortgaged it with the rest of the property, and it weald not be surprising were there some ugly litigation over this mortgage debt

Jtn Good Shape to Make Handsome Earnings. The physical condition of a large per cent of fche railroads in Indiana is certrainly gratifying, Bnnre especially of the roads centering at Indianapolis, which, with two exceptions, are in fine condition for safe, hard service for some years to come, with the ordinary expenditures .for maintenance ot track and equipments. Take, •or instance, the Bee-line system. It never had n mere promising ontlook, providing rates aro maintained. \\ ithin the last two years, regardkes*t the depressed times. $3,000,000 has been *f*D<lod in improvement to the road bed, and track, and equipments. Now the main line from Cleveland to St. Louis is practically laid with a heavy steel rail, 50 per cent, of the distance has been heavily regraveled, stone abutments have taken the place of wooden ones, iron bridges and girders the place o* wooden bridges and trestles, and the improvement to the rolling stock has been proportionately great. There are no handtrains running than those over Bee-line, aud, best of all, the first ‘time in many years the officers in the ■van° us departments are working with the greatnartnori)’; no one has petty spites to even up, or is jealous of some other official. The better managed one department is now, the better ft* ° mC * r f " f 811 th departments. Take the web managed C. t 1., St. L. & C. road: recent trip oyer it shows that even to the branches the track is in fine condition, which is •videoced by the regularity with which their trains are run. No one will question that the Big four equipments are amon the finast seen in the country. It will not 4o to overlook the Vandalia. Superintendent Hill for four years past baa been at work quietly putting this property in numJboroae condition, and no one ever casts a slur lon the physical condition of the road bed or of the Vandaiiaor the excellent runmug time their trains make. This road is now

laid with heavj steel rail from Indianapolis to St Louis, and ballasted with gravel or stone the entire distance, and for a road of its length has the best and largest locomotive power per mile of any road west of the Alleghenies. Then there are the Pennsylvania lines. It requires an expert with all modern devices of ascertaining the perfectness of track to say which is tho better, the C., St L. & P. f between Columbus and Indianapolis, or the J., M. & 1., between ludianapolis and Louisville. Both are perfectly safe to ride over at the fastest speed yet made by a locomotive. The much abused L & V. division is getting its head above water rapidly. There are now some sixty miles of the road laid with steel rails, and the entire road is weli ballasted with gravel or stone; then the grade at low places has been raised, so that but little trouble from high water is looked for in the future. Tbe C., H. & L division of the C., H. & IX, under the present management, is becoming a road of much more importance than in former years. Os the ninety-eight miles between Indianapolis and Hamilton, 6ixty-five miles is laid with the best sixty-pound-to-the-yard steel rail, and the r/mainder of the division will be laid with steel within the next twelve months. The improvements made to the equipments of this road during the last three years may best be appreciated by comparing them with the old, rickety, dirty, yellow coaches formerly run on this division. The L., N. A. & C. Air-line is another road which has made rapid strides toward being a respectable road during the last two years. Their trains make about as good time as those of older lines, and their equipments are quite satisfactory. The track of the 1., B. & W. is not so good as that of several of the roads named. Forced economy has, doubtless, had much to do with this matter, but it is understood that all surplus earnings above paying fixed charges and operating expenses are to be expended in improving the track, and a few months from now a better report can truthfully be made. So far as equipments are concerned, the 1., B. & W. compares favorably with a majority of the Indianapolis lines. The 1., D. & S. is another road which is rapidly mending its ways. Ninety of their 151 miles of track compare favorably with the best. Twentyseven miles additional will soon be laid. Over a portion of this road the fastest time ever made in the country was run recently. Their equipments are number one. Lastly, we come to the L, P. & C., now operated by the Wabash. Not wishing to be unjust in these criticisms Superintendent Stevens should be credited with, all things considered, having done well with this property. For two years past the powers that were of this road have not known whether the L, P. &C. would be retained in the Wabash system or not. When indications were that it would be, the management have shown a disposition to improve the property, and while the road-bed is not what it should be, it is much better, physically, than two years ago. All that can be said about the equipments is that they are the old Wabash rolling-stock. Doubtless, should the road again be a part of the Wabash it will be greatly improved and made a paying division. In summing up, it is certainly gratifying that a majority of the roads are in such excellent shape, physically. The managements which have improved their property during the depressed times, can now, if the rates are maintained, show handsome net earnings for years to come, as their expenses for maintenance of way will, comparatively speaking, be light.

Daily Mail Service with San Francisco. There are but six mails a week delivered in San Francisco on account of the trains lying over on Sunday at Chicago. In consequence, no mail arrives on Thursday. The postmaster of San Francisco Las written several letters to the Washington authorities, with a view to having the mail every day, and received tho following reply, a few days since,from S.M. Sweeney, acting Assistant Postmaster: “I beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, relativo to forwarding mails from Chicago on Sunday destined for your city. In reply, permit me to say that the matter has been referred to the general superintendent of the railway mail service for investigation, and he is now endeavoring to induce the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company to put on a Sunday train, and thus afford the patrons of your office the required relief.” Carrying Out the Programme. Wager Swayne, trustee; N. H. Swayne, of Toledo; E. H. Scott, of La Porte, general agent of the bondholders of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road, and George Stevens, superintendent of the eastern division of the Wabash, yes terday made a trip over the 1., P. &C. froad, trustee Wager Swayne yesterday, per programme heretofore announced, taking possession of the property in behalf of the bondholders. Last evening the above-named gentlemen were iu conference at the Denison House, and perfected arrangements for the Wabash people to operate the 1., P. &C. for the time being. Trustee Swayne said that the Wabash people were to operate the road as economically as practical and turn over all revenue derived above operating expenses to the trustee. This, he said, was all there is in the contract made. War on Buffalo Ticket-Scalpers. Buffalo, Nov. 10.—For three weeks the passenger agents of the east-bound lines have been trying to “freeze out’’ the scalpers. The brokers refused to sell at tariff rates, whereupon the agents dropped the rate to New York from $6.50 $4. The scalpers made a rate of $3.50, and there it stayed until to-day. The New York Central carried the matter to Commissioner Fink dn Saturday, and as a result the West Shore, Erie and Lackawanna went back to the $6.50 rate. In convention, both the east and west bound lines announce that hereafter they will pay Buffalo scalpers no commissions. The Bcalpers are, most of them, feeling glum over the situation, for before the fight they were making from $1 to $2 on each ticket to New York, and $6 on tickets to St. Louis. Now they have nothing but purely “scalped" tickets to depend on. Most of them have on hand tickets to last six months, and they are still 50 cents under the $6.50 rate.

The salary and perquisites amount to about SBOO a year, and for the work required it is about the best paid service in the State.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ll f 1885.

A QUARANTINE PROCLAMATION. The Restrictions Presented by the Governor Againt Cattle Infected with Pluro-Pnenmonia The Governor yesterday issued the following proclamation for the enforcement of quarantine restrictions against cattle infected with pleuropneumonia: “Whereas, The Indiana Short horn Breeders’ Association and numerous citizens of the State have represented to me that a certain contagious and infectious disease, known as monia, and other diseases, now exist among the cattle of the States of Connecticut, New York, New Jerse' Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, .iinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and District of Columbia, and thereby causing great fear among the cat-tle-breeders of this State that the germ of such disease will be brought from such infected districts into this State; and, whereas, it is so further represented that diseased cattle will likely be shipped from infected localities to points within the limits of the State of Indiana, and after remaining at such points for a short period, will be shipped to other points without this State, as cattle coming from the State of Indiana; and, whereas, such infections and contagions are not known to exist among the cattle now in this State; and, whereas, said association and’citizens have requested me to issue a proclamation, scheduling such infected localities, and prohibiting the importation into this State, from such scheduled localities, of any live stock diseased, and thereby protect the great and growing cattle interest of thi3 State; and, whereas, it is proper that injustice should not be done to those persons whose stock are not diseased, by delay in the transportation of their cattle, except to conform to certain reasonable regulations to protect the public interest of this State; “Now, therefore, I, Isaac P. Gray, Governor of the State of Indiana, do herooy issue this proclamation, hereby warning any and all persons, corporations or companies, against bringing cattle into this State, and nereby prohibiting the importation into this State of cattle from any of the above-named States, except on the conditions and under the restrictions as follows: “Rule 1. The shipper or owner of cattle from such infected Slates shall, before transporting into this State any cattle for the purpose of delivery, sale, or offering for sale, or being kept within this State, forward to the secretary of the State Board of Health, at Indianapolis, his affidavit, duly subscribed and sworn to before the clerk of the court of the county from whence such cattle are shipped, that the cattle shipped from such infected locality are healthy and free from such infected disease; that such cattle have not been in contact with other cattle infected with such disease, and have not been exposed to such disease; that affiant knows the history of such cattle for the period of ninety days before shipment; that said cattle have not, for said period of time, been exposed to said dis ease, and also stating where such cattle have been kept for said period of ninety days, and to what place or places within this State said cattle are to be shipped. “Rule 2. Such shipper or owner shall, at the same time, forward to the secretary of the State Board of Health a duly authenticated certificate from the clerk of the court from where such cattle are shipped, or from the clerk of the court of the county where the owner or shipper resides, that the affiant is a reputable person, entitled to credit, and personally known to said clerk of said court, which certificate shall have affixed thereto the seal of his office. “Rule 3. Said shipper or owner shall also, at the same time, forward to the secretary of the State Board of Health a duly authenticated certificate from a veterinary inspector, acting under State authority, or other proper authority, certifying to the then present healthy condition of such cattle. “Rule 4. The shipper or owner of said cattle shall, before unloading, or delivering, or selling, or offering for sale such cattle in this State, cause the same to be inspected by a competent veterinary inspector of this State, to be selected or recommended by the secretary of the county board of health, certifying to the present healthy condition of said cattle, which certificate the secretary of the county board of health shall forward to the secretary of the State Board of Health.” The quarantine goes into force at once.

FIVE TRAINED NURSES. The Graduating Exercises of the Flower Mission Training-School Last Evening. The graduating exercises of the Indianapolis Flower Mission Training-School for Nurses were held at Plymouth Church last evening. The school was represented by a dozen nurses, five of whom were the graduates. Miss Hunt, superintendent of the school, sat with her pupils, the latter wearing blue and white seersucker dresses, with plain skirts, white collars and cuffs, white aprons and the tidiest mob caps, the uniform being exceedingly dainty. After an organ recital by Professor Clarke, a prayer was offered by Rev. E. A. Bradley. The musical numbers on the programme consisted of atrio, “Winter Hath Not a Blossom,” by Mesdames Leckner, Levering and Watson; solo, “A Bunch of Cowslips,” by Mrs. Frank Levering, and a quartet, “Jack and Gill,” by Mesdames Levering and W T atson and Messrs. Glover and Fox, with Mrs. John A. Glover as accompanist. Miss Mary C. Rariden, the secretary of the Mission, gave a gracefully worded report of the work. There were few figures, while the report was full of ideas, cleverly presented. Since the organization of the school ninety-seven p >rson3 have applied as pupil nurses; twenty-eight were received on probation; seven were not competent or did not like the work; one failed by physical incapacity; three were declined after a month’s probation; five graduated last night; two were discharged, and fifteen are now in school a3 pupil nurses. Dr. E. F. Hodges made a brief address as to the duties of nurses, the work the young ladies had done and what was before them. Mrs. R. R. Parker presented diplomas to the graduates, Miss Margaret E. Iddings, Miss Mary E. Wheeler, Miss Caroline S. Bell, Miss E. Willis and Miss Sarah Cook. Rev. O. C. McCulloch delivered the principal address of the evening. He reviewed the beginning of the idea which developed into the present training-school for nurses after giving up the original intention of establishing a cottage hos pital, and the final engrafting of the system upon the City Hospital. Two years have now elapsed. The hospital has been completed and is now equal to any in its equipment. During this time the training school has had entire charge of the nursing; it has provided a superintendent, two head nurses and has now fifteen pupil nurses. It has had its dark days and its bright days. It has been able to send out trained nurses in a number of homes. “It is, so far as I know,” he said, “the only self-supporting school in' the country. The idea and value of the school is four fold: (L) To educate a class of trained nurses for the better care of the City Hospital. (2.) To provide trained nurses for the public. (3.) To place trained nurses among the poor of the city. (4.) To open anew profession for women. We have sought to substitute intelligent, skillful medical nursing for the inexperienced and unskillful nursing which formally obtained. These nurses are taught the theory of nursing by study of books, by lectures from physicians, and by talks with the superintendent. They put these theories in practice at the bed side of the patient. They are on duty day and night, and bring thought and tact to this most difficult work. There are at present eighteen on duty, including the superintendent A second object is to furnish trained nurses for pri/ate service. Professor Gross once said that myriads of human beings perish annually in the so-called civilized world for want of good nursing, and that in this country there is needed a million of Florence Nightingales and half that number of John Howards to aid physicians in their strife with disease and death. It is the intention to send out nurses in their second year into families for private nursing. As the school grows in numbers year by year, there will be a growing number both of graduates and pupil nurses, and their distinctive value is their intelligence, their skill, their quietness, their tact, their faithfulness.

Within a few days we have placed a nurse, under the direction of the City Dispensary, as a nurse among tho sick poor. Lo in that house of misery A lady with a lamp I see Pass through the glimmering gloom, And flit from room to room. And slow, as in a dream of bliss The speechless sufferers -turn to kiss Her shadow as it falls Upon the darkening walls. As if a door in heaven should be Opened, then clos’d suddenly, The vision came and went, The light shone and was spent. A lady with a lamp shall stand In the great history of our land, A noble type of good, Heroic womanhood. The exercises concluded with Mr. McCulloch’s address. THE RECORD OF THE COURTS.

Farm Notes. When pigs are allowed to sleep in damp places the result will often be stiffness of the joints,rheumatism and diseases of the spine, due to taking cold. Dryness and warmth are essential to the thrift of young pigs, especially on the approach of cold weather. Set your grape vines, in depth, according to your soul. If rich and deep, set deep; if poor and shallow, do not set deep. Vines planted in rich soil, even if planted deeply, will root and find food and moisture in the soil, but in a shallow soil, if set deeply, there is no food for the plant to reach, and they will surely damp off and fail. The amount of stores necessary for the safe wintering of an ordinary colony of bees should not be less than twenty-five pounds. Some will consume less than others; all will consume leas or more, according to the condition of the winter weather and its duration. The quality of the stores on which they are to subsist has much to do with the probable outcome in the spring. The best way to keep sweet potatoes is in a dry cellar and packed in boxes filled with dry chapped straw. The potatoes should not touch each other, and must not be put in until thoroughly dry. In this way they can be kept through the winter with less loss than apples. They are more sensitive to cold than ordinary potatoes, and must be taken from the boxes before the eyes begin to push. Oats are a food coming much nearer to the requirements of a well-balanced ration than corn, and have long been considered a standard horsefood. They do not pack in the stomach like corn meal, because one-third of oats is husk, and this is eaten with the concentrated part and renders the masticated food light and porous in the stomach. They also contain a much larger percentage of muscle-forming and bone-building material than corn. This is why oats form the largest element in the ration of horses for fast work, but oats are often more expensive than other kinds of food for horses. The most stubborn cases of dyspepsia and sick headache yield to the regulating and toning influence of Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Try it.

Reduction in k Price of Gas! Notice to Gas Consumers and Others. Your attention is called to the marked reduction fn the price of eras, which took effect on the Ist day of March.
