AFFAIBS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and I>ocal. Wm. R McKeen, president of the Vandalia, ppant yesterday in the city. ■*lll6 Vandalia Company are building coal-cars, their own shops, at the rate of six a week. The Pacific Express Company is to open an at Terre Haute. Charles Seeley will act {fiw their agent It is said to be highly probable that H. W. ffiibhard, general freight agent of the V andalia .-system. will remove his headquarters from St j'Louis to Terre Haute. H. J. Page, general freight agestof the C., 1., L. & C., Master Mechanic Patterson, and {Traveling Agent Ewing were in the city yesterday on official business. H. C. Wicker, traffic manager of the Chicago Northwestern road, has been offered the posi,tion of commissioner of the Southern pool. It J is said he will not accept. The heavy mail trains run over the Pennsylvania lines in the year 1885 made the best timerecord for years, more especially in the months *Ahe fast mail train was run in two sections. In the year 1885 there were 1,476 Vandalia passenger trains run into the Union Depot, and of Sthis number only sixty-four were late, and of sixty-four only twelve were over twenty minutes late. As soon as the Pennsylvania people get their monster Class D freight engines in service they 1 will largely increase the number of cars in their freight trains, and wholly abandon the doubleheader system. On account of ill health J. W. Carey, jpneral ticket agent of the Lake Shore As Michigan Southern Railroad Company, lias resigned, and E. C. Luce has been appointed to his place. The 1,, D. & S. passenger department announces on the B. & O. telephone book that they are the only line running cars to Peoria via Keokuk. This would seem to be a roundabout route to ■'Peoria. Directly the reverse would read better. The Pennsylvania people will make extensive improvements on their union depot at Pittsburg the coming Beason. Among other things it is {iroposed to raise the lengthy platforms ten aches. They are now on a level with the tracks. Hereafter the Fort Wayne special sleeping coach which leaves Indianapolis at 11:30 r. M., will be found on the spur track, west of the Union Depot, after Br. m. Parties wishing.to retire early can avail themselves of this convenience. The directors of the TANARUS., H. & I. have declared a dividend of 3 per cent., payable Feb. 1, making a dividend of 6 per cent, in the last twelve months. On this road the dividends were earned. Bnt few railroad properties are handled as well as the TANARUS., H. & I. A country agent who in the year 1835 sold $64 worth of tickets for a prominent road, yesterday applied for a pass over this line and one of its connections for himself, wife and six children only. The rate on that number of tickets would be $207 between the points named in the request Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash system. Biid on the 1.. P. & C. division yesterday for oveluber service. In the last five months he has gained fifteen days on the back-pay rolls. At this rate in another year the Wabash employes will be paid as promptly as employes on most other roads.

Within the next few months a number of roads now in the hands of receivers will be turned over to the stockholders. Os this number are jthel., I>. & S.. the Chicago & Great Southern, 'the Denver fc Rio Grande, Philadelphia & Reading, Jersey Central, Mickle-plate, Wabash. Toledo, Cincinnati &St Louis, Houston & Texas Central. The C., B. & Q. management announce the following appointments: M. E. Fairweather, assistant and in charge of freight claims at Chicago; H. C. Orr, agent at Kansas, in charge of passenger business at that point, and Mr. Firth, in charge of passenger business west of Kansas City, in the States of Kansas and Colorado. Some of the Indianapolis roads seem to have forgotten that there is an agreement that they ill signed a few months since to dispense with Bub-passenger agents who roam over the country in search of parties going West or South, and furnish them tickets at cut rates. The lines in question would better withdraw from the agreement if tnoy do not propose to live up to it. As the Wabash and C., H. & D. have agreed hereafter to weigh all freights forwarded which pool business, would it not be well to clean the slate of all past irregularities and restore harmony again between the east bound roads? No one seems to have profited by the underbilling, as the trunk lines weighed the property at their Western termini and set the weight up to the actual figures. After all the complaints of light travel in the •month of December the receipts at the outside offices of the C., H. & D. were double those of live passenger man to look after their business. The receipts of the C., 1., St. L. & C. were SB4O ahead of those of December, 1884, and of the ■"Wabash $512. The 1., B. &W. people, as well, report an increase. The representatives of three of the leading . Indianapolis roads in their outside offices receive no salary from the roads, and must make their salaries out of commissions. Such being the ■case, it is not surpising that where the coramisution is $2, they will cut the rate sl, and in the same proportion where the commission is larger. This method of supporting outside offices makes them practically scalping offices. J. F. McClatchie was yesterday appointed master mechanic of the L., N. A. & C. road. He comes off of the Ohio <& Mississippi road. Josiah Betty, who retires, was appointed master mechanic at the request of the Rogers locomotive works, which sold the L., N. A. & C. some thirty locomotives on time payments, now that they are paid for the L., N. A. &C. appoints a man of its own choice. So few general freight agents were in attendance at the meeting of the Middle and Western States Freight Association that, after transacting a little business of minor importance, the mooting adjourned to Jan. 20, to be held at Cleveland, where several committee meetings are to be held on that date. The slim attendance was due to the fact that important meet ings were held at both Chicago and New York yesterday. Col. H. C. Nutt, president, and D. B. Robinson, general manager of the Atlantic & Pacific road, are in Chicago. W. A. Bissell has been appointed geueral freight and passenger agent of this road, with headquarters at Albuquerque, to succeed Mr. W. C. Dennison, resigned. Mr. Bis•ell was formerly Pacific coast agent at Ban Francisco, lie has also been appointed manager of the Atlant & Pacific fast-freight line, with headquarters at San Francisco, so that he is favored with two offices. Chicago papers set afloat rumors that Frank Harriott i to bo appointed traffic manager of the Baltimore & Ohio, and that C. S. White would succeed him as general freight agent; that H. Coupe, of Cincinnati, would be appointed commissioner of the Colorado railway, Colorado, Utah, and other associations, made vacant by the resignation of George W. Daniels, and that W. F. McMillan would be the successor of P. P. Bhelby as general freight agent of the Union Pacific, H. A Johnson taking the position of assistant general freight agent More changes are announced on the Chicago & Rock Island road. W. W. Loomis has been appointed traveling freight agent for the lowa, Oskaloosa, Keokuk and Des Moines divisions of the Rock Island road at Des Moines, and J. E. Conklin traveling freight agent for the Southwestern division at Cameron. The resignation of Mr. Fred Wild, as genoral Southwestern agent, at Kansas City, having been accepted. Mr. F. M. Day has been appointed contracting agent, with headquarters at Kansas City. Mr. Day will have charge of the commercial interests of Kansas City, Atehinson, Leaven rorth, and St. Joseph. Both the Panhandle and Fort Wayne railroads, of the Pennsylvania Company, and the Pennsylvania railroad are suffering from numerous freight blockades. Tho two first mentioned roads have lone lines of loaded freight cars on the sidings the whole length of the Pittsburg division, and are working everything to the limit to get the stuff oot of the way. This is something unusual at this time of the year, the more especially as there have as yet been no snows to blockade the tracks. It is thought that, unless heavy storms set in, the freight Jttay be cleared out inside of another week or 8M days at most. The Penney) vania railroad,

for abont twenty miles east, has mors freight on sidings than it can move at once, and it will take several days to clear them up. Will Hardly Carry Their Point. In the week ending Dec. 31 there were forwarded East from Indianapolis elevators 463 carloads of grain. Os this number the Wabash hauled out 295 cars, the C., H. & L 119, and their business is now in about the same proportion, and both roads are weighing the cars and billing actual weights. This makes it more evident that the theory that the shippers are boycotting the Bee-line, the L, B. & W. and the C., St. L. & P. is a correct one, their purpose being to create the impression that the roads which are carrying so large a volume of business are cutting rates. Never before have the \\ abash and C., H. &I. carried so large a per cent of the east-bound business out of Indianapolis. Fortunately, from points beyond the boycotted roads are receiving a good business, and Indianapolis shipments consequently cut a small figure. A Model Locomotive. John T. Boyd, at a recent meeting of the Engineers’ Club, in Philadelphia, presented an illustrated description of the “Coventry” locomotive boiler. It was built at the Brooks locomotive works, Dunkirk, N. Y. s and placed on a standard 17x24 engine, with 61" drivers. The boiler is of the straight top return tubular type, made from Otis steel throughout. The barrel hns but two sections; the stack is behind instead of in front, and is placed over what might be called the upper crown sheet. This forms the bottom of the back combustion chamber, which is directly over the fire-box. The stack rises from the top of the boiler between the cab and the dome; the crown sheets support each other by staples. Its economy has not yet been made public, but it is said that while in service on the New York division of the Pennsylvania road, neither cinders nor smoke were discharged from its stack. The boiler is 61" in diameter, has a length of 23' 4" and is made from half-inch steel; there are 152 two-inch and 43 three-inch tubes, each JJ' SJ" lone. The fire-box is 5' 10" by 34"; the total heating surface is 1,265'. Pools Injuring the Business of Indianapolis, Pools should be established at all prominent shipping points, or there should be no pools. Indianapolis is suffering to-day in its business interests through pools, and is likely to lose oue of its most extensive manufacturers from the sole reason that competitors of the manufatory are located at points where their rates are not governed by pools. Except westward, Indianapolis is hemmed in with pools, tho east-bound and Chicago and Ohio River pool covering the business of twelve out of the fifteen roads. It is really a difficult matter to get a pound of freight into Indianapolis, or out of the city, except under pool restrictions, unless the freight be of a purely locai character. A manufacturer in Piqua or Dayton, 0., can to-day ship the manufactured goods of the same character as alluded to above three cents per 100 pounds cheaper to Louisville, Ky., even, although these points are nearly one hundred miios more distant than they are shipped from Indianapolis. Piqua and Dayton have no pools to trouble them. This is but one of hundreds of illustrations which could be brought forward. The point made is that unless the pooling business is to be made general there should be no pooling agreements made. The manufacturer who proposes to leave Indianapolis will do so for the one reason that he cannot compete with other manufacturers on account of uuequal rates. He handles annually some two thousand car-loads of freight, in and out. Pools may have their benefits, but one thing can be fully demonstrated, and that is, the business of Indianapolis is to-day suffering through the power the east-bound and Chicago aud Ohio River pools have in tbo matter of enforcing che payment of higher rates than are paid at other points on the same classes of freight Unquestionably pool3 aid in the securing of a better maintenance of rates, but great injustice is done to shippers when at one point rates are firmly maintained and at another, where there is no pool, tariffs are disregarded. Leaving out the question, however, whether pools are beneficial or not, it would be well for the railroad committee of the Board of Trade to investigate the bearing of pools upon Indianapolis business interests. Indianapolis railroad managers have of late years shown a disposition to treat Indianapolis fairly in rate matters, and will doubtless continue so to do, and promptly correct any injustice to a manufacturer when pointed out Encouraging Increase in West-Bound Business.

In its last issue the Railroad Gazette presents statistics of railway traffic which are new and valuable. These statistics show the estimated movement of through freight from the Western termini of the trunk lines, and the west-bound shipments from the East by the same lines, compare for eleven months of the past few years, as follows: Tons East-bound. Tons West-bound. 1885 8,883,650 1,907,565 1884 8,134,572 1,803,524 1883 9,320,684 1,768,608 1882 8,8 3.470 2 137,008 1880 9,614,394 1,738,566 The Gazette shows that there was a most encouraging increase, however, in the shipments of merchandise westward in the fall months. During three months ending with November the shipments last year were 584,217 tons, against 474,758 tons in 1884, and 496,269 tons in 1883. It is justly held that no better evidence of the revival of trade can be found. Mr. Huntington’s Intentions. New York, Jan. s.—Mr. C. P. Huntington said to-day: “I am working on a scheme to consolidate my roads east of the Mississippi river under the management of one company, similar to the Southern Pacific company west of the Mississippi. The name of the new company will be the Newport News and Mississippi Valley Railroad Company. Ido not know what roads will be included in the consolidation, but so far there is no doubt that the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwesteru and the Elizabeth, Lexineton & Big Sandy will Oe included. I do not know when the scheme will be perfected. This consolidation is made to cut down operating expenses. It will also enable us to carry on business at low rateß. lam uot seeking to get control of the Louisville, Evansville & St Louis road, although it would seem to be a natural connection to St Louis. There are, however, two other lines over which we could get to St Louis, either of which would answer equally welL” Arrest of a Railway Superintendent. Detroit, Jan. 5.—J. M. Ashley, jr., superintendent of the Toledo & Aon Arbor road, was arrested last night on the charge of obstructing United States mails, for which offense the United States statutes provide a penalty not to exceed SIOO fine. At 10 o’clock last night Ashley’s men removed the iron ties, switches and frogs at Howell, and stationed armed men to guard the track, but later all was quiet and orderly, and the men were relaying the track under his direction. Ashley was brought to this city and arraigned before a United States commissioner. The hearing in the case was postponed until next Monday. The night train on the Detroit, Lansing & Northern did not go out last night, on account of the track being torn and for fears of a wreck. Trains were running as usual, however, this morning, the tracks having been repaired. An Extradition for Pollard. The County Commissioners will be requested in a few days to make an allowance for the extradition of R. B. Pollard. Hewitt, the London, Ont., holder of Center township orders, has made, it is supposed, his frequent visits here in the interest of Pollard, who, it is reported, is a guest at his house. To lie Investigated. The grand jury will investigate the question of bribery in the interest of the Democratic candidate, relating to the city attorneyship canvass.
