AFFAIBS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. G- R. Riexs wm yesterday appointed agent of the Vanda) ia at Pecksburg. The meeting of the members of the east-bound tol classifications, called for yesterday, at Cleveland, 0., was postponed, as officials whoso Presence was a necessity conld not be there. Ed. M. Lewis, car accountant of the Erie fastfreight line, in this city, has resigned, and will sgo to California for the benefit of his health. Charges have been made that some of the lines in the Ohio River pool have been selling ehippers* tickets toother than the proper parties, •>ut the statement is denied by the lines interested. Kingan & Ca’s export business, which for fifteen years past has been carried by the White line, is now open to tho competition of any fastfreight line which runs over the New York Central. Prospects now are that no less than C.OOO miles ct road will be built in the United States during the yeax*. This will set the wheels of machinery In motion and furnish employment for thousands of laborers. The national association of bageago agents concluded its session yesterday. The convention declared in favor of sealing through bagfrage. After transacting a large amount of unmpertant business, the convention adjourned to Itoeet at Niagara Falls in July. The Bee-line people, having relaid their entire system with a heavy steel rail, nre now turning their attention to trestles and bridges. A number ®f trestles are to be filled up with dirt, and a ffecen or more bridges will this season be replaced •with new iron and steel structures. - Philadelphia papers say F. B. Gowen’s European trip will have for its object not only the restoration of confidence in Reading, but arrangements for the completion of the South Pennsylvania line will be made if the aid of jSnropean capital is found neeessary. Gaylord Beach, general manager; A. J. Smith, greneral passenger agent; Edgar M. Hill, general freight agent; A. S. White, assistant general freight agent; John O. Ewan, superintendent, of the Bee-line system, in company with Superintendent Burrows, to-day make an inspection trip over the I. & St L. division. A New York financial paper starts the rumor Charles Francis Adams is soon to retire from the presidency of the Union Pacific. The r <rnmor doubtless originates with the “bears” on this property. Having made poor headway in their attacks on the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, they again turn their attention to the U. P. road. Wm. P. Fishback, master in chancery, reports all outside claims against the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road as sent in, and they foot up a little less than SBOO,OOO. The bondholders. consequently, are better off in the purchase than they first supposed, as $1,000,000 was the lowest sum at which such claims had been estimated. The C., St. L. & P. are running their passenger trains between Kokomo and Chicago now in two sections, the Louisville and Indianapolis train constituting one section, the eastern division train another. This is done in order that one train may not have to lose time in waiting on another. The new arrangement is only to last daring the cold weather. - Notwithstanding all the talk about cutting of freight rates it is stated by the different trunk lines that rates are fully sustained, and that both the east and west-bound freight pools are <m a strong basis. Mr. Garrett says that his road is not cutting on the large deliveries of freight to it by the Chicago & Atlantic, and Commissioner Fink is credited with saying that he Relieves this statement to be true. A railroad official in high position states that * strong pressure is being brought to bear upon George Roberts, president of the Pennsylvania lines, to induce him to concede at least rotno ©art of the Baltimore & Ohio’s demands. Mr. Roberts is reported as greatly incensed at the Baltimore & Ohio, but the hope is expressed that he may be persuaded to be moderate. Parties interested in Erie, New York Central and West Shore securities are doing all in their power to influence the Pennsylvania’s president dn favor of restoring harmony. The fact that Alfred Sully was one of the syndicate figuring to secure the controlling stock of tbe C., H. & D., was the grounds on which Cincinnati paperß announced that the 1., B. & W. people wanted the road, and were behind the movement A report of a similar character gamed currency a couple of years ago, when Mr. Solly and a few friends gained control of the Central lowa road. It was then announced that connecting link was to be built, and the Central lowa was to become a part of the 1., B. & W. system, but it has never materialized. A comparatively novel feature in railway pooling arrangements is embodied in an agreement of the Davenport, Rock Island and Moline Association. It provides for territorial divisions of traffic between the companies interested. The bnainess between one set of points is to be transSirted exclusively over the lines of the Chicago, nrlington & Quincy; and corresponding arrangements relating to other districts are made for the benefit of the Rock Island & Peoria and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul. Indian-apolis-Chieago lines in their Ohio River pool might profit by making certain territorial divisions. As there is much anxiety among the numerous friends of J. H. Devereux, president of the Bee-line, as regards his health, the statement of General Manager Beach will be read with interest Mr. Beach says that he did not derive the benefit from his trip across the water that it was hoped he would. In fact, he was not as well •when he returned as when he sailed; but in the last few days he has been decidedly better, and bis medical advisers and official associates are quite confident that in a few weeks he will be a ■well man. Symptoms of an unfavorable type, which it was feared were assuming a chronic character, having recently disappeared. General passenger agents of the roads on which expensive dining cars are run, are studying the problem how to cat down the expenses in that direction. They never have paid unless as an advertising medium, and last year the exhibit was more unfavorable than that of any previous year. Without question, good eatinghouses at proper distances are the cheapest and best methods of feeding passengers, that is, if the time-table is so arranged as to give the passengers twenty minutes or half an hour in which to take their meals. Said an old passenger man, yesterday: “Railroads are getting sick of hauling heavy dining cars on fast trains and furnishing meals for seventy-five cents, which, all things counted in, cost $1.25. If nothing moro,” he said, “the feeding passengers on trains would bo done only on coaches with ‘buffets.’”

Will Hardly Carry Their Poiut. Chicago papers are making a desperate effort •to bring about a demoralization in rates. One of the evening papers of Wednesday says a heroic effort is making to maintain freight rates, "but with the Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago & Atlantic, Pennsylvania, Indianapolis, Bloomington A Western, and the “Big Four" shading rates to the eastward south of here, and diverting Chicago business into other channels, it is scarcely possible to hope that the demoralization will not extend into the freight departments. Os course St is possible that a truce may be patched up and rates held with a show of firmness, but as shippers, exporters, speculators and railroad xnen are holding off in anticipation of a reduction in the tariff, the probabilities point to a break in the near future. The movement of freight is reduced to a minimum, and every road is accusing every other road of doing ‘-funny business.” The grain trade is prepared to start the warehoused grain in motion to the seaboard and to Europe the moment rates are put down, and tho expectancy that the railroads will be forced to adopt such a course is widespread. Thousands of men will jump into the crack the minute it appears. Danger of Going Too Far in tbe Matter, One unfavorable feature of the new Western trunk line pool it is proposed to organize is the fact that a disposition is shown to ignore the -wishes, so to speak, of the managers of the trnnk-line pool. To be successful, the two pools most work harmoniously. The interests of the goads in both organizations are of too mutual a character to admit of any friction between the

two. While Western lines can afford to be * quite independent in their views on rate matters, they cannot afford to assume a dictatorial or opposition policy, as some of the Chicago papers intimate is probably to be the ease. The Inter Ocean saps: “It is a faet that for some unknown reason the Chicago lines have lately acted in direct opposition to Mr. Fink’s views ae to what he thought was best for them. They did not accept his suggestions in calling their recent meeting and accepted none of his ideas ae being the best for tho general welfare, although almost every other railway man in America admits that Mr. Fink is pre-eminitely the highest authority on railway pools, their usefulness and conduct. So far did the Chicago presidents allow their individual views to become contrary to Mr. Fiuk’s that it was understood that any gentleman that ho would suggest for commissioner would be sore of being defeated. It is known that the two men that he did name for commissioner when the subject of anew pool was first mentioned received no attention or consideration whatever. These men were Mr. Guilford, at present vice-commissioner of the Eastern trank lines, and Mr. C. W. Beye, also connected with Commissioner Fink’s New York office.” Millennial Times In Passenger Men’s Circles. General Passenger Agents Rtiggles, of the Michigan Central, and A. J. Smith, of the Beeline, spent part of yesterday in the city. Both officials attended the meeting at Cincinnati and express themselves gratified with the results thus far. Mr. Ruggles states that general passenger agents of roads which, in times past, have been leaders in the demoralization were present, and showed a disposition to enter into an agreement to maintain rates at fall tariff, and he never had attended a meeting where so great a desire was shown to take steps which will yield a handsome revenue from passenger service. In fact, said Mr. Haggles, it seemed like millennial times to see George W. Smith, of the Lake Erie & Western; H. M. Bronson, of the L, B. & W.; E. A. Ford, of the Pennsylvania; S.hattue, of the Ohio & Mississippi, of the same opinion as to carrying out the object for which the meeting was called —that of bringing about a restoration and maintenance of rates, and stopping up some of the numerous leaks which resalt from paying commissions and working through scalpers. Will Not Rest Under Such an Allegation. The Journal is in the receipt of the following, bearing the signature of a non-kicking yardmaster: “Yardmasters seem to be the most vigorous kickers” against the weighing of cars is a sentence embodied in one of the items in the Journal of the 19th inst. Possibly they may bo, but in my daily intercourse with them I have failed to notice any exp&rtness in “high kicking” as charged. The very worst that I have heard is an expressed wish and belief that actual weights should be furnished and used, and that no “kicker for business on paper agent” that secures a $lO shipment at a cost of sll should be allowed to manipulate weights afterwards, and an additional hope that necessary facilities wonld be provided for doing said weighing. It requires money to provide a stay for yardmasters’ stomachs, just the same as it does for aeents; hence yardmasters are also interested in helping their respective companies derive a revenue, at least, sufficient to pay yardmasters their corpulent salaries.

F. Kansas City, Jan. 2L—The Times to-morrow will say that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Company, in connection with its projected lines into the Indian Territory and Texas, will establish stockyards at Argentine, adjoining this city, with a capacity tor 30,000 to 36,000 head of cattle, and, also, erect large packing-houses. Work will be commenced as soon as the season permits. The paper also sates that an Eastern firm; owning eighteen butcher shops in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, have purchased ground for a large packinghouse, from which to supply their Eastern markets with dressed beef. The Santa Fe company, it is stated, contemplates building four hundred miles of road, and will have it completed when the cattle move next year. They propose to build from Kiowa through the Territory to the Panhandle of Texas, and from .Arkansas City, Kao., toward Fort Worth, besides short feeders for their line. Retaliation by Manufacturers. Akron, 0., Jan. 21.—Manufacturers here are indignant at the recent agreement of railroads to stop issuing shippers’ passes, and have held a meeting to consider methods of retaliation. One of the local roads having indicated that it was controlled in this matter by the Erie, the manufacturers expressed a determination to provide means for building the link from here to Chicago Junction, to give the Baltimore & Ohio competing facilities with the Erie. Another matter contemplated is the passage of a switch law which will prevent the present exorbitant charges for transferring freight cars from one road to another, and which will tend to equalize freight rates for all manufacturers. Washington and the O. & M. Shops. Special to the Indiaaapolis Journal. Washington, lud., Jan. 21.—-The citizens of this city met to-night and enthusiastically accepted the proposition for the location of the O. &M. shops at this point. J. W. Ogden was appointed on the committee to confer with President Peabody, in place of Judge Gardner, resigned. An executive committee of ten was appointed to devise ways and means to raise the $75,000 asked by the company for the location of the shops here. This executive committee will meet immediately and proceed to work. If the company means business, the shops will be built this coming summer. A New Line for Michigan. Toledo, Jan. 21. —A party of Michigan capitalists have been in consultation here to-day with President J. M. Ashley and others, of the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan railway, having in view an extension of that road through the counties of Montcalm, Kent and Muskegon, Michigan, to the city of Muskegon. An organization was effected under the name of the Toledo, Saginaw & Muskegon Railroad Company, with David Robison, jr., as president, and a survey of the route will soon be commenced. Obstructing the Sidewalks. Joseph Meyer’s newly-constructed bow-window, on South Illinois street, has caused Herbert Green to file information against him for obstructing the sidewalk to the extent of two feet. The arrest will be made to-day, when Mr Meyer will, in return, institute suits against all others who violate the law in this particular. Scott’s Emulsion of Fare COD LIVER OIL, WITII HVI’OPHOSPHITES, FOR WASTING CHILDREN. Dr. S. W. Cohen, of Waco, Tex., says: “I hare used your Emulsion in infantile wasting, with good results. It not only restores wasting tissnes, but gives strength, and I heartily recoin mend it for diseases attended by atrophy.”
