.AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. P. M. Brown, traveling agent for the Kanka'kee line, has been transferred to Chattanooga, r Tenn., to take the position held by G, J. Loury, who died Thursday last. The five Western roads brought into this station last week 3.270 loaded cars, as follows: Vandalia, 1,145; I. & St. L. t 821; C., L, St L. & C., 793; I„ B. & W., 320; 1., D. & S., 185. 11. R. Duval, general manager of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, is to be in the city to-day. While here he will be the guest ©f T. A. Lewis, chairman of the Erie Dispatch. The east bound tonnage of the eight Chicago roads last week aggregates only 23.482 tons, against 29,175 tons last week. and 67,053 tons for the second week in January, 1885. The Baltimore & Ohio. Chicago & Atlantic and the Pennsylvania roads did about 55 per cent, of the business this week. M. Hughitt, president of the Sioux City & Pacific and Fremont, Eikhorn & Missouri Valiev roads, announces that as Mr. W. B. Linsley, general manager of these companies, ha3 requested to be relieved of the duties of that office, Mr. W. F. Pitch is appointed his successor, to take effect to-day. Office at Missouri Valley, la. The 1., P. & C., Wabash management, Saturday leased the roopi in the Bates House recently oeoupied by the Iliff Brothers. The room, which is to be elegantly and conveniently fitted up, will be occupied as offices by Frank Wade, district passenger agent; P. A. Lynn, general aeent, find William Parmelee, agent of the West Shore lice. The freight movement of the C., St. L. & P., las* week, was the lightest of any week in several years; but 389 loaded cars were forwarded East, 446 received, making a total of 835 loaded cars handled at thi3 point. The west bound movement was light on account of delayed freights on the Pennsylvania road, resulting from high waters and snow blockades. The numerous friends of Major B. S. Henning, formerly general manager of the 1., B. & W., now president of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, will bo gratified to learn that lie has been laigely relieved of the embarrassment which the large interest he took in the above railroad enterprise brought upon him. and that he is now prosperous and in excellent health. The Indiana, Bloomington & Western people pay $87,500 for the ten consol engines they recently contracted for, two of which were received last week. As these engines weigh fiftytwo tons each, they cost but seven and one third cents per pound. Preceding the depressed times with locomotive works this class of engines sold as high as SIB.OOO apiece, and within three years consol engines have been sold at $11,500. Contractors and purchasing agents are now buying cross-ties at lower prices than they could five years ago, notwithstanding the statements that the timber lands in Indiana and Illinois are becoming’ more valuable. Contractors in the western part of the State are paying but 28 cents apiece for cross-ties 6 by 8 inches, 8 feet long. There is 32 feet of lumber in each crosstie, consequently ordinary lumber, which sells at 91 per 100 feet, yields more does the came number of feet in cross-ties. The Bee-line last week forwarded east from this point 748 loaded cars, against 745 in the week ending Jan. 9. and against 1,078 the corresponding week in 1885. The C., St. L. &P. last week forwarded 389 loaded cars, against 624 in the preceding week and 763 in the corresponding week in 18S5. The 1., B. &W. 460 last week, against 382 in the preceding week and against 284 the corresponding week in 1885. Tho C., H. & I. 174, against 223 in the week ending Jan. 9, and against 328 the corresponding week in 1883. Tho suggestion is made by the New York Herald that railroad companies, like banks, should be compelled to publish periodical reports of their business and conoition. There is much force in the suggestion, since it is a fact that a much larger number of people are interested in railroad stocks than in bank shares. The various companies are in possession of tabulated statements quite as regularly as are the banks, and their publication would do much to check wild speculation. There are no good reasons why this information should not be made public. The New Albuny Ledger is considerably exercised over a round-house rumor that the 1., B. & W. Corbin syndicate have secured the controlling stock stock of the L., N. A. <te C. road. This is the ninth road that rumor has in tho last thirty days placed under control of the 1., B. &W. President Corbin says the 1., B. & W. wants no more railroad property than it now controls. This they wish to place iu good position, financially and physically, and in it thinks they have a valuable property. The 1., D. &S. deal taught him a good lesson, Mr. Corbin states, as tho 1., B. & \V. sunk some $400,000 in carrying out the arrangement the tew’ years it was in force. This is a matter of the past, he says; however, the relations between the L, D. & S. and 1., B. & W. are now of the most satisfactory character. Said a railroad official, whose ideas are usually indorsed and carried out by tho Union Railway’ company, this viaduct question is exciting more talk than the matter deserves. The problem is ft simple one, and has been readily solved in cities where there were more obstacles and difficulties to overcome than there are at Indiauapo.is. In other cities the city builds the approaches of a viaduct and say to the railroads, we expect you to build tho superstructure necessary to cover the tracks, be they many or few, and the railroads do so; and the Uniou Railway Company would readily do so in this case, no matter how many viaducts were built crossing their tracks. On Virginia avenue the railroads would in such case bo put to a larger expense than would the city, yet they would gladly incur each expense.

TlewK of President Corblu on the Situation. Austin Corbin, president of the 1., B. & W., spent yesterday in Cincinnati, as tho guest of M. E. Ingalls. To-dav, he, with J. R. Maxwell, one of the largest bondholders of the 1., B. & W., and C. E. Henderson, general manager, will inspect the eastern division of the road, and tomorrow go to Cleveland, 0., to hold a conference ■with President Dovereux, of the Bee-line, regarding proposed improvements at Springlield, O. President Corbin, in conversation Saturday evening, said that he understood that some weeks since one of the Indianapolis papers—not the Journal —started a rumor that the 1., B. Ac \\ . was to be placed in the hands of a receiver. This rumor, he said, had not the slightest foundation. It was now eight years since ho took hold of the 1., B. & W., with other friends of tho property, and during that time they had never raised the signal of distress, had paid dollar for dollar on all they owed, whenever due, fixed charges and operating expenses not excepted. When rates were so low and traffic light they had some of them who were interested in tho property gone down in their own pockets and advanced money to get over the hard places, but never had they borrowed one dollar outside of thoir own party. Now they were at the top of the hill, and the road was earning more than its fixed charges and operating expenses. Mr. Corbin prided himself, he said, on the fact that while they bad no surplus funds to draw from, and had not been on the market as borrowers, and did not intend to be, the physical condition of the property had been steadily improved, and to-day the roadbed and equipments were in 30 per cent, better condition than when the Corbin syndicate took tho roads off of the hands of George B. Wright, receiver. He had just passed over the Peoria division, and he seldom rode over better track, so far as smoothness and solidity were concerned, and their passenger and freight equipments spoke for themselves. They were now adding ten consolidated, fifty-two-ton engines to their power, and would also purchase a half dozen heavy passenger engines if their earnings keep up at tho present average and several hundred freight cars. Next year they would be able, ho thought, to cut down some of the heaviest grades on the Peoria division, and, taken all iu all, he thought the future of the 1., B. & W. was promising. He had been engaged in business thirtyeight years, und every enterprise he had taken hold of, ho citing the Long Island road as one, had proven to bo grand successes, and he wa& confident tho outcome of the 1., B. W. would bo highly satisfactory to the friends of the property. Concerning his relations with tho Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road—as to the 1.. B. 6t W. gaining enkFAitco into St. Louis over it—ho said there were

too many contingent conditions to make it possible to make a statement; at best, it would be many months before the road was rebuilt into a standard-gauge road. The 1., B. & W., however, had aa good prospects for making a favorable traffic agreement as any other road, if nothing more. This was one of the cases where time is required to solve future movements. Regarding tho Danville. Olney & Ohio River road, Mr. Corbin said he represented bondholders who would bid the property in at the coming foreclosure sale, ana thas the road would then be improved and properly equipped. He spoke in very complimentary terms of the manner C. E. Henderson has handled the property since appointed receiver. Regarding the general situation of railroad interests, he was contidentof three or four years of prosperity for railroads. Presidents, managers and superintendents saw bankruptcy staring the roads in the face unless there was a restoration of rates, and then maintained, and he thought they were in earnest in the matter. He was sorry the 3allimore & Ohio had taken the position it bad, but he thought within a few days terms would be reached with them by which a disastrous war on rates would be avoided. The B. & O. was in no better shape financially than most of its competitors, and President Garrett, after a little bluster, would probably cool off, and harmonious relations would bo restored between the B. & O. and other trunk lines. An Oflf Week in Freight Business. Not for many mouths has the car movement over Indianapolis roads been as light as in tho week ending January 16. There were received and forwarded 15,565, of which number 11,191 were loaded cars. In the preceding week there was a total of 17,499 cars handled, of which number 12,027 wore loaded cars. In the corresponding week, 1885, there was a total of 20,117 cars handled, of which number 13,785 were loaded. From this it will be seen that in last week there were 866 less loaded cars handled than in the preceding week, and 2,594 less than in the corresponding week, 1885. The falling off is the most noticeable in east and west-bound tonnage, shipments of grain east showing a largely decreased movement, and shipments of live stock were not up to the usual average. Should the country roads remain in their present frozen condition, a handsome increase in shipments of grain eastward may be looked for the present week, and live stock as well. Whether shipments of lumber will increase with the reduction of five cent3 per 100 pounds, taking effect to day, a few days will tell. For months past but little lumber has been going forwarded, but the light movement has been attributed to the fact that Eastern markets have been overstocked. West-bound tonnage fell below that of any week for two years pastFreights were delayed on the trunk lines the last ten days, more or less, first by high water and then by snow-blockades. Everything is clear now, however, apd this week’s business will doubtless be heavier. Traffic over north and south-bound roads was heavier, in proportion, than with east and west lines, the C., 1., St. L. <fc C. and J., M. & I. handling more cars than in the week preceding. The business was of a local character largely. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending at 12 o’clock, Jan. 16, as compared with the corresponding week last year: 18867 1880. Namo of Road.

Massachusetts Kailway Interests. The seventeenth annual report of the Railroad Commissioners of Massachusetts, covering the year ending Sopt. 30, 1885, was submitted to tho Legislature on Saturday last. From the statis tical portion of the report we extract the following comparison of tho doing3 of the steam railroads of that Commonwealth during the past two years: 1885. - 1884, Length of railroads 2,859 2,851 Length of tracks 5,040 4,958 Capital stock $128,551,058 $127,068,590 Net debt 73,706,622 74,439,473 Gross income 44,623.350 43,119,302 Netincome 12,118,974 11.048,018 Dividends paid 0,551,704 6,535,054 Dividends, percent, paid.. 5.10 5.12 Passenger mileage 1,041,628,073 1,007,136,876 Freight mileage 1,266,160,500 1,229,368,472 Average passenger fare... $0.0187 $0 01^ No. employes 30,069 30,5™ The total number of casualties to persons reported to the board at the tune of their occurrence, during the year ending Sept. 30, was 517, being CO more than for the preceding year; of these 74 were to passengers, 230 to employes, 55 at highway grade crossings and at stations, and 152 were to trespassers. Os the whole number, 163 were fatal and 354 were not fatal, and many of them were not serious. The proportion of fatal accidents is smaller than for any year in the records of tho board. The report indicates that traveling by rail is increasing in safety, since the ratio of passengers killed to the whole cumber carried was in 1875, 1 to 3,511,639; in 1885, 1 to 4,971,692. The question of safety couplers is treated at length, and in relation to criticisms upon the law requiring their use, the board claims that not one accident, fatal or otherwise, has been reported arising from the use of the automatic safety couplers approved under tho law up to the date of this report. The report closes with the following recommendation to the Legislature: We earnestly recommend the passage of an act legalizing the formation, under general law. of associations for the relief ot railroad employes, and for protecting the funds held by such associations, upon a system similar in tho main to that adopted by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company. An Important Railroad Suit Settled. Avery important railroad suit, involving SIOO,000, was settled at Cleveland last week. It was brought several years ago, in the county court at Wabash, Ind., by Mr. Wells, a member of the firm of Gardner & Weils, who constructed the Cincinnati. Wabash & Michigan road, against the Lake Shore road, to recover C., W. & M. bonds to the value of SIOO,OOO, hypothecated to the Lake Shore company to secure the payment of the coupons attached to $500,000 of the same bonds purchased by tho Lake Shore. The C., W. & M. is 164 miles in lengfh, and extends from Bonton Harbor, Mich., to Anderson. Ind. It is now owned and controlled by Cleveland capitalists, having Mr. J. H. Wade as its president. The point in dispute was the ownership of the hypothecated bonds. They had been deposited a3 collateral security with the Lake Shore company by Mr. Gardner, who has since died, as the property of the firm, Gardner <fc Wells, then practically the owners of the road. By the terms of the reorganization of the C., W. & M., in 1879, the bonds were to be exchanged for 70 per cent of their value iu stock. Tho hypothecated bonds, with accrued interest, are now an equivalent for stock to tho amount of $98,000, and the exchange would have been made heretofore but for the disputed ownership. By tho settlement Mr. Wells will receive 37i per cent and the Lake Shore G2j per cent Scott's Emulsion of Fore COP LIVER OIL, WITH HYPOPHOSPHITK3, FOR WASTING CHILDREN. Dr. S. W. Cohen, of Waco, Tex., says: "I have used your Emulsion in infantile wasting, with good results. It not only restores wasting tissues, but gives strength, and I heartily recoin mend it for diseases attended by atrophy.”
