AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Paymaster Sullivan, of the C., L, St. L. & C., giays on the eastern division to day, on the westtern division to-morrow. The C., 1., St. L. & C. earned in the first week cf January $37,401.90, against $43,088.75 the corresponding week in 1885. The Wabash Company has done away with the only provoking feature of the old schedule for running trains, the “daily except Monday’" train. George 11. Waggoner, secretary, cashier and paymaster of the South Pacific Coast railroad, has Resigned his position, and has been succeeded by "Varney Gaskell. J. 11. Doverenx, president of the Bee-line pystem. who has been absent in Europe for a couple of months, reached Cleveland Tuesday, And is much improved in healtb. R. B. Starbuck, formerly private secretary of John Ewan, has taken the ticket agency of the C. t H. & 1., at Connersville. No better man could be found for such a position. Passenger earnings thus far this year have tnado an unfavorable exhibit. The C., 1., St. L. Sc C. earned $2,621.06 less the first week of the gnonth than in the first week of January, 1880. The Indianapolis & Vincennes road, seven of £he twelve months of 1885, showed an increase dn earnings over the corresponding months of JBB4, the total-increase reaching some $30,000. The C., 1., St. L. & C. during the recent severe weather has fully maintained its record in ihe promptness of the arrival of its trains at termini. In no case has one of its trains been over twenty minutes late. Vice-president C. W. Smith, of the Santa Fe road, was in Chicago on Tuesday, and held a brief conference with General Manager S. R. Callaway, of the Union Pacific road, and with S. H. H. Clark, his predecessor. The entire passenger equipments of the I, D. & S. road are now going through the shops, undergoing general repairs, repainting/re-upoister-Inf, etc. Two coaches will be converted into chair-cars, which will equal, in every respect, Pullman's best. James Dunn, chief engineer of the St. Lonis & San Francisco railroad, has been appointed assistant general manager to Capt. C. W. Rogers, viee-president and general manager of that road, who has beeu very ill for some time past, but who As now much better. At the meeting of railroad auditors from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, at Cleveland, yesterday, it was recommended that credit to shippers be restricted ♦© one week. Another meeting will be held in Cincinnati on the call of the chairman. The ticket-brokers and scalpers are in high friee over the position the B. &O. has taken. The cut in passenger rates by the Baltimore & Ohio was a fortunate thing for the brokers, for H gave business a stimulus that has been entirely lacking since the opening of the new year. “ The Baltimore & Ohio Staten Island terminus Is going to be a '‘big thing on ice.” A few days Ago it took nine hours for the Staten Island fer-ry-boat to make the trip from New York to Staten Island, half as long as it takes to make the jrun from Indianapolis to Washington, D. C. The Pennsylvania lines are curtailing expenses At Chicago, and have dropped a number of employes. Among these are Captain Landraerk, who was steamship agent of the company for many years at Chicago; and Watkins, passenger Agent, and Frank L. Wood, city passenger agent C. K. Lord, general passenger agent of the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore road, has issued the following notice. “The territory of Mr. D. C. Brady, Southern passenger agent, is extended, and will hereafter include central and southern Indiana and Illinois. Headquarters at corner Fourth and Main streets, Louisville, Ky.” At the regular monthly meeting of directors of th® Baltimore & Ohio railroad, yesterday, the Action of President Garrett in cutting the passenger rates between New York and the West was approved. A disposition was evinced to sustain him in any measure he may deem important for the best interest of the Baltimore & Ohio road.

E. E. Reeder, who formerly lived in Indianapolis, but who, for some time past, has been a fireman on the Cairo & Vincennes road, died at Cairo Tuesday nieht of typhoid fever. His remains will be brought to Indianapolis for burial. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen turns cut in a body this afternoon to attend his funeral 8. P. Wheeler, general manager of the Cairo. Vincennes & Chicago road, has issued the following notice under date of Jan. 11, 188 G: "J. M. Gill, formerly train master,- has this day been promoted to the office of superintendent. M. Schearer, heretofore assistant train master, is this day promoted to the office of train paster." h. D. Richardson, commissioner of the Chicago find Ohio River pool, spent yesterday in the city. He fell in among hi3 Scottish Rite friends, who surprised him with a banquet, given at the Grand Hotel, in his honor. Some twenty-five persons sat down at the table, and a couple of hours were spent very pleasantly. Mr. Richardson returned to Chicago last night. The Blue-line, operating over the L., N. A. & C- east out of Indianapolis, which heretofore has been looked upon as rather a lame line so far as Indianapolis business is concerned, has recently been making some good time on New England business. Os twenty cars of grain shipped Dec. 29, eight reached Boston on Jan. 4 and the other Iwelve Jan. 5. which is good time for any of the -more pretentious fast-freight lines to make. It is believed in railroad circles that the unpleasai.it words which passed between T. C. JHoore, joint agent of the Eastern roads out of ■Chicago, andPresidentNewoll, of the Lake Shore, jit the meeting in Chicago, on Friday last, a full report of which which was given in one of the .Chicago papers on Saturday last, will lean to rfthe retirement of T. C. Moore. On that occasion "ii* tendered his resignation, but later on withdrew it. W. F. Stark, who for some months past, with jio much ability, filled the position of superintendent of the C., H. & D. lines, was last evening presented with an elegant silver service, Which cost some S4OO. his associates and employes on the C-, H. <fc D. lines being the donors. The employes on the C., H. & D. system had become much attached to him, and would have been highly gratified had he been appointed their (general superintendent The proposition to establish a weighing association to weigh all loaded cars, in coming and Cat-going, still hangs fire. This time it is the Vandalia which objects. The expense of the association is to be borne by the roads on the basts of tonnage carried to and from Indianapoand the Vandalia fears their percent of the expenses will be too heavy if the receipts of block-coal are included, which Harry Wetsell, agent, thinks is not essential, as the coal is weighed at Brazil. Eight out of tho fifteen roads coming into Indianapolis could advance the same excuse. The I. & St. L. and the I. &V. bring a large tonnage of coal to Indianapolis, and all the Eastern lines bring in hundreds of ears of anthracite coal to Indianapolis, all of which has been once weighed. Freight agents at this point have received the following notice from Colonel Perry, agent of the Pennsylvania lines at Indianapolis. *ln the future we cannot receive cars for Crescent Brewing Company. Dean Bros., W. C. Rehling, South Side Mills, Ballweg & Cos.. Western Fur future Company, W. Kautsky Picture Frame flompacy. These firm? have no private sidings, find we do not have room in yard for them." These manufacturers are located on the J., M. A I track, where there is a siding belonging to the company, which will hold some thirty cars, and Die Pennsylvania Company is paid sl*so trackage H ia stated, on every car placed on this track, to be loaded or unloaded, and if this order is cartied out it will greatly discommode these business enterprises which were bnilt on the ground adjacent to the J., M. & i. tracks, with the understanding that this side-track was, in some measure, for their convenience. Freight agents are fully as much surprised over tho arbitrary action as are the parties whose interests are the facet directly affected. At the present time the Indianapolis roads cannot afford to take any action which will drive away manufacturers from the city, or in any way cripple them in biciness, and, unless misrepresented, tho order certainly tends in that direction, as it practically means unless these manufacturers do their pwuaeaa with the Pennsylvania lines they cau-

not have the use of the side-track which belongs to the J., M. & L road, even when trackage is paid. His Labors Appreciated. T. A. Lewis, late general manager of the Erie fast-freight lines, with his family, will leave in a day or two for the Pacific coast Should his health Improve by his tarrying there he expects to be absent some months. The Erie people have kindly famished one of the elegant and comfortable officers’ cars to make the trip, and wish him a pleasant journey, and express a hope that he will return so improved in health as to admit of his doing yet much good service for the Erie interest. The esteem in which Mr. Lewis is held by the high officials of the Erie system of roads is shown by the following expression of the officials present at the recent meeting held in New York: “New York, Lake Frie & Western Raii> 1 koad Company. Office of Freight Trap- l sic Manager George H. Willard. f New York, Jau. 8, 1886. J “Dear Sir—ln accordance with the expressed desire of all parties present, I inclose herewith a copy of a resolution passed at the meeting for the organization of the Eno Dispatch, held here on Jan. 6, 1886. Respectfully, “Thomas P. Riley, Secretary. “Extract from minutes of meeting for the organization of tho Erie Dispatch, held at New York on Wednesday, Jan, 6, 1886: “Mr. Diehl—Before we adjourn, I wish to say a few words recording the past, manager of the Groat Western Dispatch. Erie & Pacific Dispatch, and South Shore line. Tdo not know as lam quite competent to express the feelings of all those who have been associated with him for the past number of years in his connection with those lines, but I think I am safe in say in tr they are all very friendly to him, and regret the condition in which he has been placed physically, and trust that his health will be improved, and that in the position selected for him, as chairman of the Erie Dispatch, he will, as in the past, thoronghly and capably do what is expected of him. I would, in ending, express a vote of thanks of this meeting toward him, and the good will of all present in respect to the position he has been elected to fill. “Unanimously carried.” Undertaking a Big: Job. A joint circular has been issued by Presidents Newell, of the Lake Shore, Sergeant, of the Grand Trunk, McCullough, of the Pennsylvania company, Ingalls, of the Big Four, and Ledyard, of the Michigan Central, reading as follows: “We, the undersigned, for the companies we represent, hereby agree to form an association for the following purposes: “L Maintenance of agreed passenger farea “2. Division of passenger earnings. “3. Abolishment of commissions. “4. Reduction of passeuger expenses generally. “To secure the proper execution of this agreement we hereby instruct the heads of our passenger departments to convene at the earliest practicable date for the purpose of formulating a plan in detail, which plan shall conform as nearly as practicable to the trunk-line agreement. Said plan, when completed, to be submitted to the managing officers of the companies interested for their approval, and to take effect as from Feb. L ” The general passenger agents of the above five lines, following the instructions of the presidents, have issued to the Western connections of the trunk lines a call for a meeting of passenger and ticket agents at Ciocinnati next Tuesday. The plan of the proposed association is very comprehensive. This organization is to be the passenger branch of the Western trunk-line pool. It will act in conjunction with the trunk-line agreement on seaboard business. Tho central passenger committee seeks only to regulate rates between local points within its own territory, while this association will cover both through and local traffic.

Still at His Old Tricks. The Financial Chronicle cherishes the belief that Jav Gould has not yet forgotten his old tricks. The Chronicle opens n heavy battery on the attempt to steal the Texas Pacific. It urges the security-holders to “organize at once for their protection, unless they want to see their rights trampled upon and the property placed beyond their reach in the hands of Jay Gould or his Missouri Pacific.” It believes Gould’s hand is in the wrecking movement, and Philadelphia parties are only used as a cover to get possession of the road for a song. In this connection, and in striking contrast to the official reports about the poor busiuess of the road, comes a dispatch from El Paso, saying “the road has done a larger business this fall and winter than at any other period in its history, one of tho general passenger and freight agents placing the increase at over 20 per cent.” Tlie West-Bound Passenger War. New York, Jau. 13. —The Post says that the situation in regr.rd to the cut in west-bound passenger rates is unchanged; that the Baltimore & Ohio is carrying a large number of passengers; but that it is expected that the Baltimore & Ohio officials will soon experience considerable difficulty in procuring Pennsylvania tickets for its patrons between this city and Baltimore. Already the ticket agents of that line have received orders not to sell more than one ticket at a time to one person. The Post adds: “The passeuger agents of the several lines are looking forward with considerable interest to the meeting which will be held at Commissioner Fink's office to-morrow. Undoubtedly application will be made to the pool commissioner to take measures to protect the weaker lines. The dangers which now threaten the emigrant pool canuot be averted without considerable difficulty. There is considerable speculation as to what railroad has offered B. Richard & Cos., agents for the Hamburg-Americati Packet ComEany, tho $4.35 emigrant rate to Chicago and St. lOuis. Decrees for the Sale of Roads. Cleveland, Jan. 13. —T0-day Judge Welker eutered a decree in the United States Circuit Court, at Toledo, for the sale of the]Wabash railroad. The decree was auxiliary to the one issued in the main suit at St Louis by Judge* Brewer and Treat. The road is to be sold on the consolidated mortgage, and subject to all prior liens and mortgages on the several divisions originally forming separate roads. The sale takes place at St. Louis, by Edmund T. Allen, m ister in chancery, at a minimum price of $1,000,000. To-day Judge Welker entered a decree in the Circuit Court here for the sale of the Wheeling & Lake Erie road. It is to be sold on the first mortgage, and any surplus after paying the bonds is to be brought into court for distribution. The sale is to bo made at Cleveland, at a date to be fixed hereafter, by W. F. Goodspeed as special master, at a minimum price of $500,000. Sudden Changes of Weather Are productive of throat diseases, coughs, colds, etc. There is no more effectual relief in these diseases to be found than in the use of Brown’s Bronchial Troches.
