AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Fersonal and Local. J. F. McDoei has been appointed traveling freight agent of the L.. N. A. & C., vice Hunter, retired. The Pennsylvania railroad on yesterday began mnning its congressional limited express between New York and Washington. John C Gault, traffic manager of the Cincinnati Southern road, has gone to New York on important business connected with the road. Geo. FI. Valiant, traffic manager of the Erie, and Geo. G. Cochrane, general freight agent of the N. Y.. P. & 0., are to be in the city to-day. Ocean rates for grain are fairly active and higher. The Liverpool rate was up to 3d yesterday, owing, it is said, to the demand for room for corn. V. K. Morris has arranged with the roads for a grand excursion to the City of Mexico, to leave Jan, 21, The fare for the round trip is sllß, good to return for six months. Now it is said that it is contemplated to restore the Toledo, Peoria & Western to the Wabash system if satisfactory Arrangements can be made with the reorganized Wabash road. Ransom H. Nobles, for thirty-three years connected with the New York Central, has resigned the office of general agent of the passenger department, to take effect the Ist of next month. J. W. Jones, ex-vice-president of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company, is preparing a history of that corporation. A history truthful in character of this property will make interesting reading. O. B. Skinner, traffic manager of the Bee-line system, is on his way to California to spend the winter. The tenor of his remarks of late indicates that he does not expect to again enter service on tne Bee-line. The directors of the Pennsylvania railroad held a special meeting last Saturday to discuss an insurance scheme for the benefit of employes, but no final action was taken; however, this indicates that the scheme has not been abandoned. The Baltimore & Ohio Express Company and district passenger agents Vanderbilt, of the Northern Pacific; Perry, of the Chicago & Alton, and Hynes, of the Kansas Southern, yesterday removed their offices to No. 46 South Illinois street. The trunklines are beginning to send empty ars West for loading, and a partial relief from the car famine will be afforded thereby. Sixty days ago just the reverse was the case—empty ears were sent East by hundreds to bring delayed freights West. Owing to the prevalence of high winds and the suddenness with which cold weather has come, most of the roads have put on their night track walkers. Last winter,' accidents which would likely have been of a serious character were prevented through taking this precaution. C. W. Smith, the new vice-president of the (Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, is on a visit to Topeka to confer with the officials there, but he is not ready to take charge until the Chesapeake '& Ohio can find an acceptable general manager to relieve him from his present duties. It is high time that the agents of the Western Ginos out of Indianapolis get together and brace 'up rates. It is not unusual, as was the case yesterday, for a lower rate to be given from Indian mpolm to St. Louis than the proportion the same tread wouid receive on a through east-bound rate. Were the 1., B. &W. people less lenient in allowing consignees to use their cars as storehouses there would not be such a scarcity of cars on the road. A party receiving freights should be educated up to bhe rule that after forty-eight boors demurrage of $lO per day would be charged on all cars not unloaded. C. W. Fairbanks, one of the heavy holders of the bonds of the Dayton & Ironton road, returned from New York yesterday, and to the question, has the C., H. & D., as rumored, secured control of the Dayton & Ironton road, he anid not that he knew of. To the question “Do you think they will?” he said they had not Tet, notwithstanding the fact that Boston papers lad announced that they had. The presidents and general managers of the roadß composing the Union Railway Company meet to day at 10 a. m. at the Bates House. 8o reticent are the officials as to the object of the meeting that, possibly, they purpose to surprise •the public generally by taking some definite action in regard to the location and raising the funds to erect the new Union Depot—an enterprise which has now hung fire for five years. New Albany Ledger: Superintendent Miner, ©f the L., E. & St L. Air line, holds conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen, on both -passenger and fresgrht trains, to the strictest accountability for accidents, and when accidents loeeur through the fault of train officials their fheads go immediately into the discharge basket, 'in this way the service of the road has been up to the highest degree of safety and efficiency.

Negotiations are in progress looking to the ‘formation of a poo! amor.g the five lines of transrportation from Norfolk, Va., to Philadelphia, (Baltimore, New York and Boston. There is but joae of these a rail route, and this is the New Turk, Philadelphia & Norfolk railroad, running rto Cape Charles City, where connection is made \vnth Norfolk by boat. The total shipments from Norfolk by these lines amount to 2,000,000 tons, ami it is proposed by the new pool to award the railroad company one-fifth of this, which would amount to 400,000 tons. A party of St. Louis shippers last week, in the hope of demoralizing rates, shipped one hundred car-loads of grain east over the Louisville & Nashville, the Louisville, Evansville & St Louis, the Ohio & Mississippi, the C., H. & I). and the Erie. That freight should be shipped hy such a route created,until the scheme was exEwed, a good deal of a stir in St Louis. The rie people early learned the game being played on the roads, and in a few brief but pertinent •telegrams checked what tended to lead to a gen•eral demoralization of rates ea3t from St. Louis. The retirement of Robert H. Sayre from the Aboard of managers of the Reading is probable, and it is said that he has already sent his resignation to President Keim. Mr. Sayre will retire for the purpose of accepting the vice-presi-dency of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. He was the superintendent and engineer of this company until two years ago, when he resigned to accept the presidency of the South Pennsylvania, and last January lie entered the Reading board. Mr. Sayre is a director of the Lehigh Valley, and one of the executors of the estate of the late Judge Asa Packer. It is stated that the Mann Boudoir-car Company is to be reorganized on the first of the year, and that Colonel Mann will retire from the management, although remaining as a director. It ia also pretty well settled that the contract with the Wabash will be terminated before the first of the year. By the cutting off ot its through car service to New York the Wabash has lost traffic, and this fact baa caused Mr. Talmage to listen kindly to the proposition to use the Wagner car exclusively. By the change the Wagners will be put on the Niagara Falls short-line in place of the Mann boudoirs that are now used on that route. The L., Is. A. & C. people are somewhat troubled over terminal facilities at Indianapolis. Should the Wabash carry out what it is understood they contemplate doing, the L., N. A. & C. people will not only have to secure depot facilities, but they use about four miles of the Wabash track between the point where the roads come together at Howland's and the connection *rith the Union tracks, which they must abandon. And the only feasible way for the X*., N. A. & C. people to overcome this, difficulty is to build two tniles of road between Howland Station and the Belt road, then use the Belt road to form a connection with the Bee-line, C., H. &1., or any other Eastern road, and over it ruu into the city. The mistake was that the canal bank was not tosed from Broad Hippie to Ohio street originally, Instead of the present route from Broad Ripple to the Union tracks. The whole plan might have been earned out for lees money than has the present arrangement A Sleeping-Car Decision. Several years ago arrangements were made Ker the establishment of a through line of WagMr sleepers from New York to Galveston, run•tng over the Iron Mountain railroad from St. fiuis. This was after the consolidation of the |n*n Moutrtain with the Missouri Pacific, and, |inder its contract with the latter, the Pullman fcumpany claimed the right to run over the Iron

Mountain, and began sr l for an injunction to restrain the railroad ofucials from carrying ot their arrangement with the Wagner, and to prevent that line from contracting with any other company than tie Pullman for sleeping and parlor-car service. These proceedings broke np the proposed through line for the time being, and the case began to grind its way through the courts. The lower court threw out the Pullman company’s bill on demurrer, and the United States Supreme Court yesterday affirmed that decree. It held that the Iron Mountain road was not bound by contracts made by or for the Missouri Pacific. In the meantime, however, the railroad situation was radically changed, aud owing to the rather strained existing between Vanderbilt and Gould, it is not likely that New York Central sleeping-cars will be run over the Iron Mountain, notwithstanding the way is open for the full consummation of the old arrangement The Eastern & Western Air-Line. Springfield, 111., Dec. 7.—At the annual meeting| of the Eastern & Western Air line Railway Company, held in this city yesterday, it was officially announced that the company’s financial negotiations had been successfully concluded with a powerful London and continental syndicate. The contracts executed by the company and the syndicate were submitted to the stockholders and unanimously approved. It was further announced that the company had purchased the Cleveland, Delphos & St. Louis railread, which will be hereafter operated under its name, and a large amount of other valuable property, including rights of way, surveys and real estate. The C., D. & St. L. will he changed to standard gauge, and utilized as a part of the main line between Akron, 0., and the Mississippi river. The board of directors elected for the ensuing year includes W. C. Mabley, of Pittsburg; Hon. J. C. Conkliug, of Springfield. 111.; Hon. J. G. Day, of Des Moines, la., and G. L. Artz, of Columbus, O. The officers are: T. W. Osborn, president; W. H. Philips, first vice-president and treasurer; S. L. Merrill, second vice-president; J. W. Coley, secretary; W. C. Mabley, general superintendent, and H. A. Schwanke, chief engineer. ( It is authoritatively announced that the Cleveland Western telegraph line has been purchased by W. H. Philips, of New York, vicepresident of the Eastern and Western Airline Railway Company. It will continue to be operated under its present name until spring, when arrangements have been made for its extension. Miscellaneous Notes. The Lake Shore meeting will be held on the 16th inst., when it is expected a l-per*cent. dividend will be declared. Early in February the Wisconsin Central will run freight trains into Chicago over the Western Indiana Belt line. The Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley railroad was opened for passengers and freight between Hamburg, Pa., and Reading and Philadelphia yesterday. Jay Gould states that the November earnings of the Missouri Pacific railroad will be as large as those of October, which were equal to 2 per cent, on the stock. The enforcement of the rule of collecting an additional fare of five cents, when cash is paid, on the New York Ceutral, is causing people to be more careful about buying tickets before entering the train, and the use of the duplex books is correspondingly diminished. The Trunk Line railroad, a short line of some fifty miles from Dallas, Tex., to Cedar Creek, has at last been sold to parties who propose to thoroughly repair and equip the road for general traffic, and extend it, in the first instance, to some point on the Texas & St. Louis road, and eventually, probably, to Sabine Pass. An order has been issued by the directors of the Atlantic & Pacific for grading and bridering another section of their road, from Red Fork, lnd. TANARUS., to a point about seventy miles west, on the proposed line to Albuquerque. When completed to Albuquerque the route of the company from San Francisco to the East will be shortened by about 300 miles. Anew money-order system of Wells, Fargo & Go. went into effect Dec. 1. r ihe orders will be issued for any amount from one doliar upwards, payable tc either the bearer or order in 8.000 puiees in the United States and Canada. Receipts will be given and money refunded should the orders be lost. The orders will be remitted as exchange upon all the large cities of the United States. A bill has been filed by the old stockholders of the Marietta & North Georgia railroad against the present management of the road, asking for a receiver to be appointed to take into consideration the management of the road, and to account to them debts due under old contracts. It is understood that this will result in the discontinuance of the extension of the road to the north Georgia line. The C., B. & Q. has what is called “an airbrake car” in operation, and all employes are required to take lessons in the practical workings of the automatic brake. The car is fitted up with all the appliances for the thorough exposition of the principles upon which the brake works. Three sets of brakes are arranged so shat they can be coupled together after the manner in whieh they appear on the train. In the few hours devoted to study aud instruction in the car they learn more than they would in years of experience on the road.

TAX THE PEDDLERS. A Movement to Obtain Revenue for the City from an Unproductive Source. The ordinance to make peddlers and venders of various kinds who come to this city at intervals and dispose of large quantities of merchandise, pay a license of $25 a Jay, met with considerable opposition in the Council last night from members who held that the ordinance was improperly drawn, being too sweeping in its provisions, and by other members who, as usual, posed as the poor man’s friend. Mr. Pearson held that the ordinance was necessary to protect resident tax-payers, and cited several instanees of peripatetic tradesmen who have come here and sold thousands of dollars’ worth of goods that would otherwise have been sold by our own citizens. They have done this without contributing a dollar to the city. Three weeks ago, throe men, claiming to be from Ireland, and showing linens and other goods they said were imported, took rooms at two of the hotels. They issued circulars, which they sent to the best citizens, and then, loading their goods into hacks, went among the residences of well-to do people selling their merchandise. They sold to the amount of many thousand dollars of their goods, to the injury of dealers here, and without putting a dollar into the city treasury. Men come here aud sell furs in the same way. Carpet men come here and stay from thirty to sixty days each year and sell many thousand dollars in goods and the city is not benefited one cent Fruit men, potato dealers and others bring produce here, run it on a side track and sell out to peddlers, thus injuring commission men and other home dealers who pay taxes aud should be protected. As many as twenty car-loads a day of fruit and vegetables have thus been disposed of in this city. Mr. Pearson thought $25 a day from these and like dealers was little enough and fair enough as a protection to our own citizens, and to add to the city's finances. Other cities afforded this kind of protection to their citizens, and Indianapolis should do the sama The Oil Mills Fire. The water whieh was thrown on the burning ruins of the Evans oil mill, Sunday evening, was frozen during the night, and yesterday morning the ruins were covered with ice. The firemen continued work on the building during a part of the day, yesterday, and the portion of the south wall whieh remained standing was pulled down. In its tall a C.. W. & M. flat-car was struck and demolished. The safe is still under the mins, and it is not known whether or not its contents are damaged. A guard is kept about the place, and the work of clearing away the debris will begin in a day or two. Mothers need not be afraid to give children Red Star Cough Cure. No opiates in it

Samuel Stubbs, who was convicted of horsestealing in Morgan county, in September, 1883, and sentenced to four years' imprisonment in the southern prison, was pardoned yesterday by the Governor. He was employed for several years by the Singer Sewing-machine Company, and they testify that his character was good. He has always strongly protested that he was innocent of the theft, and there has been a doubt as to his guilt, which has been strengthened by recent developments. The Governor thinks that he was an unfortunate victim of circumstances. He has served nearly three years of his sentence. Trying the Liquor Cases. The liquor cases which have been pending for some time in the Criminal Court, on appeal, were j’esterday set for trial Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Heretofore several of the affidavits and informations, on which the arrests were made, failed to aver the quantity of the liquor sold, and on suggestion of Judge Norton the prosecution had them Amended in that respect. But the prosecutor believes that this averment is cot necessary. It is claimed that the purpose

of the law in regard to selling liquor between certain hours and on certain days is to prohibit its sale as a beverage in any quantity, whether a gill, quart or gallon. To support this a decision in 73d Indiana, the State against George W. Corll, brought up from Wabash, is quoted. Corll was charged with selling liquor without a license, under a law passed March 17, 1875, which the Supreme Court said covered two district offenses —one, the selling of liquor without a license when the quantity sold must be shown in the information, and the other, bartering, selling and eiving away a3 a beverage when the specific amount is immaterial. THE GOVERNORS’ STATEMENT. Formal Reasons Assigned for the Removal of the Board of Trade Headquarters. The following communication was unanimously adopted by the governing committee of the Indianapolis Board of Trade at its regular monthly meeting last night. The committee also decided to hold its first meeting in the new quarters, No. 33 South Meridian street, on Thursday, Dec. 31, 1885: In order that the membership of the Indianapolis Board of Trade may not be misled as to the influences which have induced their board of governors to remove the board from its present quarters in the Chamber of Commerco Building to the rooms on South Meridian street, and that the object and advantages of such change may be fully understood, the board of governors deem it proper to make the following statement of facts: First—When this board was organized, under the name of the Commercial Exchange, one of its objects was to harmonize and consolidate the two commercial organizations then existing in this city. The one under the name of the Merchants’ Exchange dissolved at once, and its bership entered the new organization, rhe one under the name of the Board of Trad* continued in existence for some months, and entered into negotiations with this board for the surrender of its franchise and the leasing of its rooms for a fixed period. Second—There was great opposition to this Board of Trade occupying quarters in the Chamber of Commerce Building, under any circumstances, on account of its location and the quarters for the board being on the third floor, but, after deliberate negotiations, this board agreed to lease of the old Board of Trade the rooms now occupied until Dec. 31, 1885, It was urged by some of the governors that one year of this time of extension was obtained by false representations as to the time the old lease had to run, but the lease was made with this board of governors ia writing, to expire on Dec. 31, 1885, and with the distinct understanding that this board would vacate these quarters at or before that time. Third—That on the sth day of October, 1885, by unanimous vote by this board of governors, there being twenty-five of the governors present (Mr. Martindale being absent), it was ordered that the committee on location bo instructed to take immediate steps to secure other quarters for this Board of Trade, and that the present quarters should not be considered by the committee, and that the committee report at the next meeting of the board. Fourth—That at the next meeting of the board of governors, held Nov. 2, 1885, there being twenty-five governors present (Mr. Martindale again being absent), the committee on location reported that the rooms in Condit’s stone block, on South Meridian street, could be obtained for one year for the sum of SBOO, with the privilege of the second year at the same rent; that after obtaining comfortable quarters for the Board of Trade the rooms which could be sub-leased would briug SB4O per year, thus receiving back S4O more than the board were paying out for rents. There was at the same meeting a protest presented against moving from the present Quarters, which was signed by-the tenants of the Chamber of Commerce building and a few others. On motion, this protest was spread upon the minutes by a votes of twenty-three yeas and two nays, and the committee were, by like vote, directed to close the lease of the Condit Block rooms and fit them up immediately for the use of the board. Fifth—That the aim of this board of governors is, as soon as the financial condition of the board will justify it, to purchase ground in some central location and erect a Roartl of Trade building, in all respects creditable to the city; and their object in making this change was to secure a more central location for the meeting of the board, and one in all respects equally comfortable and at the same time save the board SBOO per year rent. Sixth—That while the matter of leasing the new quarters was pending, and before the lease of the Condit Block rooms had been signed, a part of the committee desiring to accomodate the tenants of the Chamber of Commerce Building, called upon Mr. Wilson, as president of the Chamber of Commerce, and asked if the owners of the building wished the board to remain in its present quarters on the same terms that it could procure the new rooms for, and received from Mr. Wilson the reply that the board could not occupy the Chamber of Commerce Building on any such terms. There is no division of sentiment among the board, and the only dissatisfaction expressed is confined to the parties interested, either as present or former stockholders of the Chamber of Commerce, or tenants of the building. The new quarters are, of course, only temporary, but will be in all respects more accessible and convenient than the old, and will save the Board of Trade the sum of SBOO per year, to be applied to securing permanent quarters. Every man who has made complaint to the governors, directly or through the press, was a party to the distinct agreement that this Board of Trade would leave the present quarters on or before Dec. 31, 1885.

Be on Your Guard. Benson’s Capcine Plasters are widely imitated. That is a fact. Now, why are they imitated? Because they are the only porous plaster in existence that is really trustworthy and valuable. Benson's Plasters are highly and scientifieall3 r medicated, and cure in a few hours ailments upon which no others have any effect whStever. The public are therefore cautioned against plasters bearing the names of “Capsicin” “Capsicum,” “Capaicine” or “Capucin,” which are meant to pass for “Capcine” (please note the difference) and also against plasters bearing the names “Benton’s,” “Burton’s,” etc. When buying ask distinctly for Benson’s Plaster, and protect yourself by a personal examination. The genuine has the word “Capcine” cut or poroused in the body of the plaster and the “Three Seals” trade mark on the face cloth. BUSINESS DIRECTORY INDIANAPOLIS.
