(AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The Erie people have accepted the resignation of Charles Paine as second vice-president of the Toed. He vrili retire Jan. 31. Owen Bice, the hard-working general passen®*r agent of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michisgan, is in the city taking soundings. J. Proctor, president, and Alex. Bruce, secretary, of the Northern & Northwestern, a Canada road, are in the city. The party leave for Detroit this evening. District Passenger Agents Applegate, of the St. Louis & San Francisco, and Brady and Halpin, of the Baltimore & Ohio, are in the city prospecting for business. By order of the United States Circuit Court, the sale of the Danville, Olnev & Ohio River yattroad, which was to have taken place to-day, has been postponed till Feb. 10. Com mission er L. D. Richardson, of the Chieajro.and Ohio River pool, has gone to Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo to examine into the details of the lumber interests there. The superintendents of the several Indianapolis roads meet here to-day to put the finishing touches onto the new Indianapolis Weighing Association. It is expected to get It in working order by Feb. 1. The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen of the ' United Skates have accepted a proposition to admit to their organization the Conductors’ and 2*rakmen’s Association of Canada, of which the membership is 8,000. The programme now is that George H. Daniels is to be chairman of the passenger branch of the Uentral Traffic Association. Commissioner Geo. SB. Blanchard’s power will extend over both the freight and passenger pools. A movement is on foot to include live stock traffic in the Indianapolis Weighing Association, jfn this direction a reform is more needed than in the weighing of dead freights, as but few carloads of stock are bandied at aDy where near actual weights. W. D. Kenyon, formerly connected with the genoral passenger department of the C., B & Q., and lately general passonger agent of the Texas As Pacific railway, has beeu appointed general 'passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington & ■Northern, now in course of construction. One of the rate-demoralizing papers of Chicago .Bays freights are nominally unchanged, but a /well-defined suspicion exists that the agents would not be entirely proof against temptation if Tate-sbading propositions were made to them in ■the right spirit by shippers of discretion. The one who accepts the position of inspector of weights of the Indianapolis Weighing Association will need to be a man of nerve, said a freight man yesterday, as there is a class of agents, he said, who would resort to all sorts of under-handed schemes to work through freights tinderbilled. J. H. Filcer, general foreman of the boiler department of the Indianapolis & St Louis division of the C., C., C. & I. railway, baa tendered bis resignation, to take effect Feb. 1, and has accepted a position with the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and InsurMß Company, with headquarters at IndianapaKa

H. Bfc. Wilkins, general passenger agent of the California Southern road, gives notice of the eompfletion of the new line from Barstow station to Colten, Cal., where connection is made with Its old line to Colton and National City; also, of the extension of the road from Colton to Los Angeles by lease of the Southern Pacific company’s branches between these points. The wretched work the postal department is txmking of late in carrying mail matter is proving a god-semi to the express companies, as parties who have been sending money, postalorders or letters of value by mail are returning to the express companies in large numbers. *Tfce fact is the express service is about as cheap joa the postal service, and much safer. The Expressman, a journal published in New TToik, says: “The ultimate consummation of the Pennsylvania Company’s plans for anew Union depot at Indianapolis will be a matter of great congratulation to tho serveral express companies at. that point, as the volume of busi mass has developed beyond the space allotted ithem in the present structure.” It has been settled by a conference between /General Manager Gault, of the Queen and Crescent, and President Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville road, all the other roads agreeing by previous correspondence, that J. R. Ogden, at present general freight aeent of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railway,shall be comzniarioner of the Southern pool, and it is underatood that he will accept. Train Master Safford, of the J., M. & 1., states that the rumor of numerous changes on the road amounts to just this: A few telegraph operators who were hardlv competent to fill positions in the more important offices have been transferred to lass important offices, and these places have been filled bv men who were better fitted to do the work. Not a man has been discharged, and mono are to be that he is aware of. George It. Blanchard, the newly-appointed commissioner of the now being organized Western trunk line pool, will reach Chicago this evening. He comes West to look over the territory in the pool. He will next week call a meeting, probably in Chicago, of the managers or presidents of the lilies that will necessarily be parties to the pool—liues that run out of St. Louis, Peoria and Indianapolis. The feeling that the pool will be permanent is stronger every day. Henry Monett, general passenger agent of the West Shore road, has advised ticket agents that in selling tickets to Columbus, Springfield nod Dayton, to and via Cincinnati or Indianapolis, they should give the business to the Bee-line. To or via St Louis the company’s relations to 'the Grand Trunk system, in connection with the Wabash, remain the same as heretofore. They whouid, however, give passengers the choice of teutec to or via St. Louis, as between the Grand trunk in connection with the Wabash, or the Lake Shore in connection with the Bee-line. Regarding the rumored trouble at the Wabash shops, Springfield, 111., the explanation‘obtained Is that the shops had merely shut down indefinitely as a means of reducine expenses, and that this follows as a part of a plan all along the line, a similar shut-down being reported for all the shops in the system. But little definite information can be obtained, but it is alleged that the Stoppage will continue until after the transfer of the property, which is expected to take place, nder the recent order of foreclosure and sale |u the federal courts, at an early day.

J. Henderson, agent of the Adams Express Company at Indianapolis, as follows: “Mr. Henderson needs no introduction to the elder generation of expressmen, who will recollect him as the indefatigable agent of the United States Express Company in Cincinnati for about twenty years, and more recently agent of the Baltimore 6c Ohio Express in the same city. He went to Indianapolis about a year since to represent the Adams, a comparative stranger to tho business community, but splendidly equipped with a thorough knowledge of the details of the business, and possessing tact and art in dealing With business men, all of which qualities have counted greatly to the advantage of his company He is of Scotch oriein, plucky and energetic. In early life he was a legislative reporter at Albany, N. Y., for a metropolitan journal, and for several years prior to his entering the service of tits United Suites Express Company as agent at Oneionati, was city editor of the Cincinnati Gazette.’’ __________ The Bottom Not Out Yet. The January decline in leading railway stocks Tom averged only 4j per cent, and the reaction from the highest quotations of 1835, as shown by the New York financial papers, is but 9 per cent. Barely thcee figures do cot seem to indicate that the bottom is dropping out of the stock market, m numerous writers upon the situation have rctically maintained in the last few weeks. New York financial paper says that pMsideriaf the condition of the weather in the

West and Northwest, which is seriously interrupting railroad traffic on all lines, the pubiie uneasiness in regard to the silver agitation, and the disquiet incidental to gold shipments, together with the unsettlement in trunk-line affairs consequent upon the Baltimore & Ohio's cutting of passenger rates, it is somewhat remarkable that the market has not yielded more than it has. Iu spite of the adverse conditions named, and the determined efforts of the bear party to break prices, the fact remains that the net result is an average decline of less than 5 per cent, in the prices of the active stocks thus far in 1880. Why the B. & O. Railroad Is Catting Rates. Philadelphia Record. President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, has recently expressed himself very freely on the trunk-line situation to bankers and others in this city. He states that his grievance is that his road has never received the recognition from the other trunk lines to which it is entitled, and that until it gets this recognition it will be a disturbing factor in trunk-line arrangemets. Tho means of the Baltimore & Ohio for disturbing the pool, he states, have been only partially unfolded. They will not be confined to freight and passenger business, but ■will be extended so as to include cheaper ocean rates. This is to be accomplished by tho employment of steamers to bring over iron ore and take back grain. The officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company do not hesitate to say that the Baltimore & Ohio is making money out of its cut rates by the increased amount of business that it is doing. The safety of the trunk-line pool is now threatened, and the Erie road has admonished tho Pennsylvania that unless something is done very soon it will also have to begin cutting, as the Baltimore & Ohio is injuring the business of that line. President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, declares that he will let the pool go to pieces before he will allow the Baltimore & Ohio to go to New York over his lines on its own terms. President Garrett replies that these are the only terms upon which he will accept peace, and that ho is not particularly anxious for it, as he is making money out of the present situation. The Trials of Freight Men. A heavy shipper of freight from Indianapolis to New York, day before yesterday called at one line office and without qualification said he had been offered by a competing line a five-cents per-100-pounds cut The line agent told him that it made no difference if he had he would not meet the cut—his position as agent of the line was worth too much to him to take any risk. Three minutes after the shipper left the office, the agent of the line telephoned the agent of the competing line the statement made by the shipper. The agent of the competing line answered back that he had not seen that shipper for some days. One hour after, the shipper telephoned the line agent he had concluded to use his line and wanted three cars immediately, adding that the line of his competitor did not sometimes make as good time as the one said agent represented, therefore he preferred to pay his full rate.

A Precautionary Signal. For the benefit of persons who are booming prices of property in the vicinity of the Union Depot, and in some cases effecting sales at a high figure, we quote the remark of an official of one of the roads comprising the Union Railway Company. He said it was by no means certain that the new structure would be built on or near the present location; that neither of the officials are so much wedded to the present location as they are understood to be. The question of locatiAo would depend much on the figures at which property could be bought in the vicinity of the present depot. So far as the interests of the Union Railway Company, financially, are concerned, the ground owned by the Wabash and C., St. L. & P.. cast of Liberty street, fronting on Wasningtcn street, offers great temptations, and a strong pressure has been brought to bear within the last few days from several directions to bring about the use of these grounds for the new depot. _ Express Stocks Becoming More Valuable. Tho esteem in which express company securities are held by investors points also to tbe public confidence in these vast business enterprises, indicative of permanency and good management. In January, 1885, the Adams stock sold for 132. During the year sales were recorded of 3.217 shares; the price December 31 was 145, showing a gain of 13 per cent. The American opened with a rating of 88. Daring the year 13,131 shares changed hands; the closing price was 1022, a gain of 14# per cent The United States was quoted at 51; 15,342 shares were sold daring the year, and the closing price was GQE an advance of 9£ per cent Wells, Fareo & Cos. stood at 108 at the commencement of the year, during which 8,440 shares were sold, and the price at close of tho year was 120, a gain of 12 per cent Want American Locomotives. An English exchange states: “Another order for locomotives for our colonies has been lost to the manufacturers of this country. The Queensland railway have ordered five locomotive engines from the Baldwin Company, Philadelphia, United States, at a total cost of £9,250. It is, however, a consolation that another and larger order for twenty locomotives of class F has been intrusted to Messrs. Kitson & Cos., of Leeds, Yorkshire, England, at a cost of £2,000 each. These engines are to be similar to those of the same class alreadv supplied by the same firm." The price of the Baldwin engines was therefore $9,010 each, while the larger engines ordered in England cost $9,740 each. The Stock Worth Par. A special from Boston states that the directors of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois yesterday declared a semi-annual dividend of 2£ per cent., payable March 1. The come-out of this road is really a remarkable one. The management has from the earnings paid its fixed charges, operating expenses, made large improvements to the road-bed and equipments, and now takes rank as a regular dividend-paying road. The stock should now go to par. The Chicago and Great Southern Extension. Spocial to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Jan. 26. —The work of grading in the construction of the Chicago and Indiana coal road—tbe Chicago & Great Southern extension —has at length reached Brazil, the terminus, and a full force is employed night and day for its completion. Perhaps a week’s work will establish the grade for the track-layers. The track has been laid as far south as Roseville, sixteen miles north. Notwithstanding the weather, fair speed has been maintained in laying the track, erecting telegraph wires, etc., which is now being pushed forward at about a mile a day. If there is no general thawing out, the traek will be laid the entire distance by the middle of February, at which time trains will be put in motion. The completion of this road means much for Brazil and other points along the route, as it passes through coal fields for several miles before reaching Brazil. Much of tbe coal is yet undeveloped for want of facilities of shipment. It is mostly bituminous, of a superior quaiity to that variety in this vicinity. Our great market is the Northwest, through Chicago. The Chicago & Indiana coal road having the most direct connection with Chicago, will no doubt be able to afford low freight rates and cause no little stir among its competitors. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, acting through the blood, reaches every part of the system, and in this way positively cures catarrh.
