AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. C. C. Waite, vice-president of the C. t H. & D., ipeat yesterday forenoon in the city. NUthern roads are experiencing but little trouble from snow. The Western trains, however, are more or less delayed. It is stated that under the new deal the Erie Dispatch is to work over the Bee-line as well as over the 1., B. & W. and theC., St L. to P. roads. Notwithstanding the large reduction in employes on the Pennsylvania lines within the last three years, there are ove 70,000 names now on the pay-roll. Horace Eddy, chief clerk of Superintendent Mansfield,' of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, will pt an early day take the same position with J. J. Turner, superintendent of the G, St. L. & P. Mr. Huntington says his scheme of consolidation of his Eastern roads under one management Ss similar to tho Southern Pacific company, but h does not know when his Eastern plan will be perfected. The earnings of the Evansville & Terre Haute for the fourth week in December were $15,163, am increase of $2,000; for the month, $60,600. an Increase of $4,500. and for the year, $734,246, an Increase of $16,565. Tho New Year’s number of the Bee-line Gazette is out, and is decidedly the best number yet issued by the passenger department of the Jftee-line. The items to be found therein are newsy, witty and interesting. Oscar Vanderbilt, who retires, the 15th, from the position of district passenger agent of the Northern Pacific, lias gone to Tennessee to look a one-fourth interest in property in that fttate, recently appraised at $65,000. The entire passenger equipment of the L., N. & C. is to be repainted the standard color of the Pennsylvania lines. Monon Route, in large display letters, and L., N. A. & C., in small letters, *riH take the place of Louisville. New Albany & Chicago in full. The following changes in agents have been ynade oa the Bee-line: Comstock, 111., Mary A. Donovan, vice L. Howard: Venice, 111., Henry Miller, vice W. S. Putnam; Weaver’s, 0., J. Wagner, vice J. Wilkev; White Sulphur, 0., C. N- Aldrich, vice J. Potter. The Chicago papers fell into the same error as did the Evening News in announcing that there •ras to be another general* change in the official roster of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago £oad, when it should have been the Louisville, Evansville to St. Louis road. C. C. F. Bent, superintendent of the Ohio & Mississippi goad, has appointed Harry Francisco, jiL., N.'A. & G passenger conductor, assistant “trainmaster. There are several other men, it is •tated. on the L., N. A. & C. whose services Mr. Bent will endeavor to secure at an early day. J. C. Paul, general manager of the Woodruff Sleeping-chr Company, was in the city yesterday Und in excellent spirits. The company is building twelve elegant coaches which are to be put upon a system of roads, when completed, over which cars of another company are now running. The meeting of the passenger committee of the Chicago and Ohio River pool has been postponed nntil Jan. 21, when a lively time is looked for, as the L.. N. A. &C. threaten to withdraw from tho pool if the L, B. & W. is allowed a differential on Cincinnati and Chicago and Indianapolis and Chicago business. The improvement in railroad business is having its natural effect in causing a spirited demand for new rolling stock. It is reported, today, that the Rogers locomotive works of Paterpoa, N. J., have found it nessary to employ several hundred new men, and have thirty-six new locomotives laid out for the next three weeks. C. C. Waite has been elected president of the Dayton & Union Railroad Company, and Gaylord JL Beach vice-president and general manager. General Manager Beach, under date of Jan. 7, announces that W. F. Stark is appointed superintendent of this company, with office at Dayton. 0., in place of J. H. Barrett, resigned to accept service elsewhere. General Passenger Agent Baldwin has just experienced the pleasure of paying $460 to the C., B. to Q. road for the shortcomings of an agent of the L., N. A. to C.. located near the Union Depot, on Sbuth Illinois street, he having cut the gate established by the C., B. & Q. on ninetytwo tickets sold to Northwestern points reading ©ver the C., B. & Q. road. The railroads generally are probably finding gaore to do, and see still better times aheacL The renewal of rolling stocks by leading lines naturally suggests more confidence in the future. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe has recently placed an order for 700 freight cars, nod the Union Pacific and the Chicago & Alton will also take several hundred each, under contracts certain to be placed. Railroad men whose opinions have much ■weight question whether a Western trunk line k>ool can be made a success so long as the trunk line® govern to so great an extent the action of Western roads. The Chicago Inter Oceau quotes ft prominent railroad official as saying: “You f sn’t expect that when a president of a road in York or Philadelphia takes snaff the resilient of a line in Chicago should sneeze.” There is said to be no improvement in ue arrangements for feeding passengers on the I. to Bt. L. trains at Mattoon. Just before E. B. Thomas left the road he threatened to run dining cars on their best trains if there was no improvement made, and it might be well for Gen •ral Manager Beach to carry out Mr. Thomas’s policy. When trainmen hunt up better rations jthaa are served at a station there must be something wrong. William 11. Vandergrift has gone into the service of tho C., 1., St. L & C. as a general utility man. It is stated officially that there is to be po assistant general superintendent appointed, J. W. Sherwood being fully competent to do all the business of this-character needed. Mr. Vandergrift is employed to look after heedless or careless agents, hunt np lost cars, see that cars *t country stations are unloaded or loaded promptly and make himself generally useful. There is said to be a greater stagnation in California west-bound business than has been known for months past Business has fallen off from 30 to 50 per cent This has been chiefly caused by the feeling of uncertainty regarding the fate of the Transcontinental pool goes to pie* l ***, ttia shippers of cotton T’oc' fJfvSs and other cheap grades of dry goods re prepared to rush them forward, and take advantage of the low rates that will result from dissolution. The L.. N. A. & C. freight department has lesued anew tariff in pamphlet form which is ■very complete. The rules governing agents as to loading cars are made plain. There is a table showing the average- weight of commodities likely to be shipped, so that the agent, where he has no scales, can nearer estimate weights. The connections of the road are shown, transfer charges if there be auy, also per cents, of theL., N., A. &C. with such connection, the classification of freights, and in fact everything an Itgeot needs to enable him to name a rate with aittle trouble, and without erring. The re-election of L. D. Richardson as commissioner of the Chicago and Ohio River pool was expected, nevertheless it is highly complimentary to him. His long experience as general manager of the Green line well fitted him for his present position. The excellent standing of the Chicago and Ohio River pool is in a large measure due Mr. Richardson’s way of driving things. He never makes a move where a complaint is made until ho thoroughly investigates the alleged grei vance, then his decisions are usually so fair and impartial that no member of the pool baa reason to press the matter further. In connection with the circular of General Manager Beach appointing Mr. W. F.Stark superintendent of the Dayton to Union railroad, vice 3. H. Barrett, resigned to accept the superin tendency of the eastern division of the trie, the" following notice is issued jointly by e Bee-line. Panhandle and C., H. to D. roads: Mr. W. F. Stark has been appointed superin tendent of Dayton passenger station and the jjoinfc tracks between Second street and Dayton and Union junction •He will have charge of the maintenance of same, and be responsible for the proper movement of all engines and cars ■within the prescribed limits. The delegates of the Cincinnati Board of Trade who ware present at Duluth on the opening of Its Board of Trade, Wednesday last, returned yesterday via G & N. W.. the L., N. A. &G, And C, M. to I. roads. They speak of the outlook for Duluth as being very promising. It

may never be a city of great consequence in point of population, but, situated as it is. at the head of navigation, its natural advantages for receiving, and forwarding the products of the great Northwest, and, incidentally, for storing grain, will, in the course of time, build up a community of first importance in a commercial sense. Duluth received more wheat last year than Chicago, and shipped more. Its elevator capacity is nearly 10.000,000 bushels, and it is displaying moderation in levying carrying charges on grain brought there for storage. Duluth is a growing place. There seems to be but little question as to who will purchase the C., C* & L. division of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road at the coming foreclosure sale. The Wabash which, reorganized. will represent the same people it now does, do not care for that portion of the I, P. &C. lying between Peru and La Porte, but they do want the division between Indianapolis and Peru, and in spite of the fact that the bondholders of the C., C. & L. are very sanguine that they will secure the entire 1., P. & C. road, there is great danger, that they are to be disappointed.as the same parties, who will compose the Wabash when reorganized, own folly threefifths of the $2,200,060 second mortgage bonds now resting upon the division of the 1., P. & C. lying between Indianapolis and Peru. The first mortgage bonds do not cut a very important figure, as they amount to only $250,000. Adopt the Old Per Cents. The roads in the Chicago and Ohio River pool have seemingly decided thatit was unwise to disturb percentages, and unanimously adopted the per cents, for the five pools for the year 1886 that were in force for the year 1885, which were as follows: Chicago and Indianapolis Pool. PassenFreight. gers. Big Four 48 50 Panhandle 17 1 ® 17 Monon 16 16 Danville Chicago and Louisville Pool. Big Four 15 7 Danville 33 Panhandle.. 41 45 Monon .* 41 45 Chicago and Cincinnati Pool. Big Four 59 60 Panhandle 22 20 Monon 5 5 Danville 4 4 Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton 10 s l2 Indianapolis and Cincinnati Pool. Big Four 70 75 Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton 30 25 Indianapolis and Louisville Pool. Big Four 18 10 Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis 82 90 The organization of what is to be known as the sixth pool occupied considerable time. The committee on percentages presented its report, and it was not satisfactory. Its allotment was as follows on business to Green-line points: Road. Per Cent. Illinois Central 10^5 Kankakee and connections 25 Chicago & Eastern Illinois, and connections 25 Wabash 8 Peoria, Decatur & Evansville 7*a Panhandle 24 Total iOO~ It was agreed that the new lines about to be admitted should prepare a series of statistics to 6how in a better way what they were entitled to and present them to the commissioner before Jan. 16. An adjournment was had until Jan. 20.

The'Trank Line General Managers. Chicago, Jan. B.—The Eastern trunk-line managers adjourned their meeting here to-uight, to meet next Thursday in New York. The session has been marked by the utmost secrecy, and the only information vouchsafed the press to-night is to the effect that a contract has been completed and adopted, to go into ODeration Jan. 1, and that a commissioner for the Western organization and an arbitrator for the Chicago pool have been appointed. When the members convened this morning there was a very heated debate and numerous accusations exchanged with reference to the full report of the proceedings in the morning papers, notwithstanding the agreement made to keep the operations of the session secret. The stenographer was discharged, and each member was pledged to divulge nothing without the consent of tho meeting. Consequently it cannot be learned who are chosen arbitrator and commissioner. The reason for so much secrecy is, the fact that the proceedings of this be declared null and void within a month. Mr. Jewett failing to appear to day, either personally or by deputy, it was plain that the Chicago to Atlantic road did not intend to give countenance to the meeting, and the B’lint & Pierre Marquette road distinctly refused to co-operate. Among railroad men here who are not interested in the matter the opinion is prevalent that, in view of the facts above ttr.tcu, the meettr - ws* wuliout result. The Times will publish the name of Geogre R. Blanchard, formerly vice-president of the Erie road, as the man chosen for commissioner of the organization. Settling a Disputed Point. New York, Jan. B. —Au arbitration committee, consisting of S. F. Pierson, J. N. Abbott and Henry Monett, to-day sat in a contest between the Ohio to Mississippi and the central passenger committee. The question was as to the difficulty of making rates for San Francisco Cincinnati AU Pacific coast rates are based on Missouri river points and the Chicago lines, by making low rates to the Missouri river, have caused much dissatisfaction among the St. Louis lines. The committee of arbitration decided that the basis of iates from the Missouri river to Cincinnati shall be made by using the Chicago rates for 448 miles, ami for the balance of the distance the rate*’ shall be computed on the central passenger committee’s rules, which is 80 per cent, of twice the one-way fare, added to Chicago rates. ♦ High-Scliool Exercises. The first exercises of the new year were held In the High-school building yesterday. Tlii performers acquitted in a manner that Showed tl.rrr care and time had been expended in preparing their exercises. The programme of exercises was as follows: Declamation, “Words and Their Uses,” by Katie Edmonds; declamation. “The Proud Miss Mcßride," Nellie Harrison; declamation, “Nuremberg” (Longfellow), Alice Fairfield; composition, “The Northwestern Rebellion," Hoyt King; declamation, “The Widow’s Light,” Cornelia Harrison; declamation, “Thß Woman W r ho Lingers,” Jennie Hose; declamation, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” Jacob Kaufman; declamation, “Artie’s Amen,” Fannie Leftwick; composition, “The Choice of a Life Work," Frieda Metzner; declamation, “In School Days” (Whittier), Minnie Htorle:' recitation, “A Blue Jay \ arn” (Twain), Mageie Lockwood; composition, “Fidelity.” Nora Flynn; declamation, “Jennie McNeal’s Ride,” Kittie He.-ron. — Last Night’s Storm. Yesterday morning v in this locality, the slight rise in temperature indicated the prevalence of snowy conditions. About 2 o’clock in the afternoon the snow began, at first with fitful spurts, but within an hour it settled down to a steady fall, which continued until about 9 o'clock last evening. As night came on, the wind increased, blowing strongly from the west and carrying the drift to a considerable depth. As walking became difficult and uncomfortable, the streets were almost deserted, except by those whose business required them to breast the storm. It was the second visit of genuine winter weather this season. The night advancing, the temperature began to fall again, fulfilling the predictions of the night before, and giving the first breath of the storm that is prevailing with unusual severity in the West. It was a night to appreciate cozy firesides at their fullest. Out of the storm came more than the ordinary number of seehira of shelter and warmth at the station-house.

Campbell, Mr. Daniel Wiles, Miss Bessie Stone and others. The Journal was misinformed when it said that the death of ’Squire Alexander Jameson “was the first in the family of brothers aud sisters who came to this city near fifty years ago.” Near forty years ago, Thomas Jameson —the third brother—father of Humphrey, who served in the Eleventh Regiment all through the war, died at the residence of L. H., his brother; and Sarah, the secoud sister, died at the same residence. over thirty years ago. She was the wife of Robert P. Gray. The Los Angeles Mirror gives a large space to the report of the meetings being held there under the auspices of Dr. L. W. Munhall. Os the meeting held Sunday, Dec. 22, the Mirror says: “Few persons have ever witnessed such a sight as those who gained admission to the Tabernacle were permuted to behold at the young people’s mass-meeting there Sunday afternoon. Not less than 3,000. between twelve and thirty years of age, looked up with interested faces at the speaker, as he discoursed from the text, ‘Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ (Ecclesiastes xii, 1). At the close of his remarks not less than 500 arose as an indication that they desired prayer offered for them, 200 of whom proceeded at once to the inquiry rooms, a goodly number of them there professing conversion. The most wonderful meeting, as yet, of the series.”

The weather yesterday interposed no great obstacle to the continued success of tile poultry and bench show. In the evening there was a fair crowd of ladies and gentlemen enjoying the sights of an exhibition that does not fail to interest many who have no special fancy for highlybred dogs and chickens. During the afternoon the attendance was large. It is possible the present great success will insure a repetition next year, for oufc-of-town visitors, as well as the managers, express themselves as greatly pleased with the encouragement Indianapolis breeders have given the enterprise. Yesterday a large part of the exhibition was again brought under the inspection of the judges, whose scoring has been exact Prize-winners express no dissatisfaction, although the contests in certain classes have been very earnest. Exhibiters. however, have done their best, and offered the choicest specimens of their breeding-yards. Everything connected with the exhibition has contributed to advance poultry interests in Indiana, which, in some localities, are far ahead of those iu other States, especially as relates to light Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks and Wvandottes. The latter, iu the attention they receive, their increasing popularity, while Plymouth nocks hold the favor which has for so many years been given them.

The Meeting of the Democratic State Central Committee in This City Yesterday. St Jackson’s day was celebrated yesterday by the usual annual meeting of the Democratic State central committee, whiehwas held at the office of Auditor Rice in the afternoon. All the districts except the Fourth and Tenth were represented. The members present were: from the First district, W. B. McDonald, of Princeton; Second, Dr. H. V. Norvell, of Bloomfield; Third, Joseph L. Reiley, of Jennings county; Fifth. Eb Henderson, of Martinsville; Sixth, W. G Forrey, of Connersville: Seventh, Jackson Landers, of Indianapolis; Eighth. Dr. W. H. Gillatn. of Rockville; Ninth, El wood Avery, of Frankfort; Eleventh, D. B. Sweetser, of Marion; Twelfth. GA. Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, and Thirteenth, Edward Hawkins, of LaPorte. Several prominent Democrats were present. After a “star chamber” session of an hour, Secretary Reiley reported to the representatives of the press in an adjoining room that nothing of particular importance had been done; that the meeting was simply for the purpose of getting an exchange of views on the outlook for the next campaign, and that the general feeling was very encouraging. The organization of the party will be left to the executive committee, and it was decided that no meeting of the State committee should be held again until after the spring elections. In the discussion the effect of tho trustee swindles in the township elections came in for some consideration, and an unfavorable view of the matter was generally entertained. The expressions of opinion were favorable to a late convention, and, while no time was fixed, it was thought by the leaders that the date should be sometime in July. The following resolution in relation to the death of Vice-president Hendricks was reported by W. H. Gillam, chairman of a committee selected to prepare a memorial: “The Democratic State central committee, assembled for the first time since the demise of Vice-president Hendricks, extends its sympathy to the bereaved widow of the distinguished dead, and. in common with the entire country, mouruji his death. We commend his life as a lesson worthy of imitation to the youth of the country. He was true to his principles, fearless in their advocacy of the right as he saw it, and absolutely incor ruptible. He elevated public office by the excellence of his official conduct. He beautified home by the purity and simplicity of his domestic relations, and he added fresh value to human friendships by his unswerving fidelity to his friends. ”

CONDEMNING SOCIAL EVILS. The Colored Pastors Organizing: a War on Policy Playing, Balls and Skating Rinks. The presiding elders and pastors of the colored churches of Indianapolis have adopted the following resolutions condemning intemperance, policy playing, public balls and skating rinks: Whereas, There is great reason to believe that society, our homes and churches are being corrupted and are in great danger of being ruined by certain existing evils in our city, such as intemperance, policy, public balls and skating rinks; and wher< as, these are all indulged in, patronized and encouraged more or less by persons of the best society and by members of tho different churches, to the neglect of the real duties that one owes to home, to society and to church, and at tho expense of the honor, virtue and respectability of the young girls, young ladies and married ladies, and to the shame of fathers, husbands and sons; and*whereas, a knowledge of these things has come to us; therefore, be it Resolved. That we, presiding elders and the pastors of the churches of. color in this city, feel called upon to speak out against these evils and unite our efforts in trying to prevent any further harm being done by them to society, home and church. Resolved, That we will constantly and faithfully exhort and warn the members of our churches and congregations against participating in or patronizing, or in any way giving encouragment and support to them. Resolved, That we will faithfully discharge onr duty in executing the law of our several churches against such persons as persist in practicing and encouraging these evils after having been duly warned of the sin and danger of the 'same, and properly brought before us for trial. Resolved. That any member of any one of our churches, having been charged, tried, convicted and expelled or suspended from the church of which he or she was a member, for any or all of the above-men-tioned causes, shall be refused membership iu any and all of the other churches represented in these resolutions, by their pastors, until such person lias given the necessary satisfaction to the church from which he or she was expelled or suspended. Resolved, That if anv pastor signing these resolutions Shall receive such person or persons into his church he shall be denied our fellow&k;!?: and deemed by us unworthy the holy calling of the Christian ministry. Resolved, That these resolutions be presented to all the pastors of color in the city for their signatures, and that the name of any minister refusing to indorse them be be printed in connection with the names of those who do sign them; and that any such an one shall be regarded by us as unworchv his calling, and a friend to sin, and an enemy of God and humanity. - Rev. C. Jones, P. E. of M. ,E. Church, Chairman. Rev. John Fttrgvrson, . P. E. of A. M. E. Church. Rev. J. M. Washington, P. E. of A. M. E. Z. Church. Rev. J. M. Harris, Rev. R. T. Anderson. Rev. M.

The resolutions have not yet been signed by all the colored pastors, but it is claimed that all are in sympathy with the sentiments expressed in them.

EXHAUSTING THE GENERAL FUND. The Commissioners Snspend the Allowance of Estimates on the New insaue Hospitals. The rerniar monthly meeting of the commissioners of the new insane hospital buildings was held yesterday, and the session was devoted almost entirely to the consideration of the financial problem involved in the question of continuing work on the institutions. Auditor Rice and Treasurer Cooper were in consultation with the commissioners during the morning, and presented to them a statement of the condition of the state finances, showing that any further demands upon the general fund would exhaust it. The commissioners have already continued work a month longer, it is claimed, than they agreed to, and. in consequence, bills amounting to $130,000 will have to be paid to-day. There is now in the fund about $237,000. No reveuue will be received until th© counties begin to make the regular semi-annual settlement in May. and. unless some of them do this in advance, the fnnd will be exhausted, as the State government's ordinary operating expenses amount to about $30,000 a month. The Auditor and Treasurer declare that if work upon the institutions is not suspended "the State will be caused some embarassment. The commissioners are disposed to heed their suggestion, and have decided to allow no more estimates until a better way to avoid the impending difficulty .can be found. Mr. P. H. McCormick, the contractor for the Evansville institution, stated to a Journal reporter yesterday that he would not suspend work, but would complete the Evansville building as soon as practicable. “I will wait for my pay,” he said, “until February next year. It will cost about $35,000 to complete the Evansville asylum, and lam pretty sure that I can borrow the money for that purpose. My pay is not at all dependent on the Legislature. If such was the case I should not take the risk. The money has been appropriated for the work, but it is notin the treasury.” “How much is required to pay the expense of completing all the buildings?” “About $300,000. The Logansport buildings, for which McCormick & Hege are contractors, can be completed for $155,000. and I think we will continue work on them. We certainly will, if any satisfactory arrangement can be made for borrowing the money. The Evansville building will be completed, anyhow, because I know where I can get hold of the money for that purpose.” Sorb throat and lung trouble# yield to Bed Star Cough Cure. Price 25 cents.
