AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. H. li. Todd has been appointed agrent of the *Tradraf Dispatch, at Peoria, to date from (ft*. 1. Lome Holtz, assistant ticket agent at the TJuion Depot, retires Feb. 1, to engage in commercial pursuit3. Within the last eix years but one engineer has I*9** killed on the C., 1., St L. & C. system, and fcia death was the result of his own carelessness. The redaction in the east-bound lumber rates .recently made has not yet had the desired effect, 'ih* increase in shipments being scarcely noticeable. If“the new Union Depot is to be built this year, rw3nr does General Manager Malott again want do lease the Eagle machine works building at >53,000 a year? Chairman S. F. Pierson, of the immigrant clearing-house, announces the appointment of tC. F. Deane as joint immigrant agent and joint 'ticket agent at Castlo Garden, New York, todate from Feb. L The 1., B. & W. and the Illinois Central people are chafing under the collar at some alleged poeal rate-cutting Traffic Manager Lazarns, of (the 1., D. & S. road, is doing. The attention of Hammond is to be called to the matter. V. T. Malott, rice-president and general manager of the Union Railway Company, has removed his railroad office to the pleasant front 'room over the Indiana National Bhnk. The -walls of his new office are adorned with the plans *£ the New Union Depot on an enlarged scale. It is claimed that, through the consolidation f fast-freight lines whicli have been effected of date, the cost of securing through business has ‘been reduced from 33 per cent of the gross earnings to less than 20 per cent., and the redactions in that direction are not yet fully accomplished. J. W. Sherwood, superintendent of the C., 1.. L. & C., very gracefully drettbe views of his wngineers, who asked for an advance in pay for certain services which tbey class as additional duties. By the by. the engineers, in a quiet rway. are getting their pay up to quite respectaa>le figures. Were the C.. H. & D. passenger department to spay more attention to their advertisements in Ckly papers it would doubtless result beneHy. The name of James O’Neil, passenger egent for Indianapolis and territory, retired from jfthe road some two years ago, still appeers in BO me of them. The meeting called by Chairman Ingalls, of the committee of eighteeu at Chicago, on tho23d of next month, will be a mo3t important one in •very point of view, a3 the preliminary move Howard carrying out the methods prevailing in the East under the trunk-line agreement, and urged for adoption west of trunk-line termini. The now system of keeping accounts will be introduced at the Union Depot ticket-office Feb. 1. It is practically that of the Pennsylvania Uompany. which is a daily in voice of the business of the office. The new system will increase the labors of the office, more especially the night ticket agents, and will likely require the employment of an additional man. Secretary Sanger, of the Yard masters’ National Mutual Benefit Association, was yesterday notified that a division had been organized in Connecticut, There are now divisions of this association in every !->tate in the Union, except Nortli and South Carolina. association now has 1,4(i0 members, 278 new members having been received since May 1. The earnings of the C., 1., St. L. & C. for the week ending Jan. 21 were $42,849.33, against $47,966.50 the corresponding week 1885. Decrease this year, $5,117.17. There was a failing off in passenger earnings of $1,188.64; in freieht ,/earnings. $4,176.27. The earnings of the road dEor the three weeks of January were $115,108.66, .against $139,021.75 the corresponding three weeks 1-1885.

The passenger department of the Bee-line has got out for general distribution what they *tyle a local time-table. At a glance any man who can read can ascertain at what hour a train leaves or arrives at any station on the entire •ystem. Half the time-tables are prepared in such a manner that only an experienced passenger man can decipher when a person can reach -Any other than terminal points on a road. Superintendent Stevens, of the Wabash; Trustee Scott, of the 1., P. & C., and Superintendent Woodard and General Freight Atrent McDoel, of the L., N. A. & C., returned to their respective headquarters yesterday, having settled all matters in question pertaining to terminal facilities ■at Indianapolis and back rental matters. The IL.. N. A. & C. have paid over to Trustee Scott SIO,OOO of the back rental, and in a few days will j ay the remaining $15,000 now due. Chief Engineer Morris, of theC., I. St L. & A\, has just completed a survey to ascertain the >lmgth of their switches and side-tracks within •tue city limits, and he found that there are and one-fourth miles, not including the ffive-eighths of a mile within the State-house -jr.ca, which was laid by the company. The belt it nek which surrounds the State-house lacks a Iffew feet of being one half mile long. The two uspur-tracks are one eighth of a mile. The Wabash people on Tuesday took an inventory o i their property. Every ageut on the line had to tajii the numbers and initials of wdl cars at their respective stations at 12 o’clock, inoon, and every conductor on the road at that timeto take the number and initials of every car In his train, on blacks furnished for that purpose. Great carp was used in getting them correctly. These reports were taken in duplicates go that shoutd any get lost in sending to the car ■accountant at St. Louis, a copy could be easily reproduced. In speaking of the new superintendent of the •Cleveland & Canton railroad, of Ohio, the Boston Journal says: "JohaW. Warded, of Con*dW, N. H., who has been appointed general superintendent of the Cleveland & Canton railroad, of Ohio, with headquarters at the former •ity, is one of the best known of New Hampshire railroad men. He wa3 born in Salisbury, this State, is about fifty years old, and when a young man began railroad work as passenger conductor and paymaster on the Boston, Concord & Montreal line. Where he remained about six years. Subsequently he was general agent of the Rutland railroad at Burlington, general ticket agent of the Concord railroad, and freight agent of the Boston & Lowell railroad at Boston, resigning the latter place about a year ago. Mr. Warded is a thoroughly experienced railroad man, has the confidence of the public in a large measure wherever ho has been located, and is in every respect qualified for the duties of the ew position which was tendered him last Saturday.” _ Unfortunate for the Chicago Roads. Indianapolis lines, for a few weeks past, have l>een doing a better business, proportionately, than have Chicago lines from Northwestern territory, and Chicago is sorely grieved over the matter. The Times of yesterday says: “Positive evidence has been collected by interested officials here, and by them submitted to their presidents, that rate-cutting on east-bound freight was being done at several points outside of Chicago. The proof is of a character that, it is claimed, cannot be refuted, and the aforesaid (presidents have laid the facts before the trunkline committee, asking that action be taken at once. In the majority of the cases brought up *be irregularities take the form of under billing, and occur at various points in Indiana and Ohio,’ Indianapolis being one of those mentioned. How the trunk-line committee will deal with the subject is a matter of speculation. To be consistent with the terms of their former contract, they would have no alternative, except to cut off the offending roads from through billing, but it will not be done, and it is doubtful if any disciplining will be attemptod. ‘The situation is anything but satisfactory,’ remarked a geuoral freight agent yesterday, ‘but the disposition seems to be to hold on and avoid a break until after the meeting of the committee of eighteen.”’ The comments on the situation at Chicago of the correspondent of the New y York Post comes so much nearer the truth in the matter that we quote a portion of his article on the business over Chicago roads last week. He writes: “The small receipts since the first of the current year are largely due to cold weather, which has checked business and increased the disposition among large country traders to crib corn at stations and either j sell M&y| options or hold for an advance, the latter feeling having materially developed since the opening of the month, the claim being that the premium paid for May gives

good carrying charges and also insures a much higher percentage of contract corn than is ever obtained from new erop at this early period of the year." He adds: “These explanations are not offered in defense of Chicago grain inspectors, but to show that the corn-carrying roads are not likely to lose any considerable share of that traffic.” He then shows the following receipts of corn and oats at Chicago in December for three years: Corn. Oats. 1880 5,213,000 2,727,000 1834 4,473,000 1,814,000 1383 4,739,000 2,834,000 The above fails to indicate a loss of business by the Chicago roads. The B. Si O.’s New York Line. Washington Special. The hearings between the committees of commerce of each house upon the proposition to authorize the B. &O. railroad to build a bridge from the Jersey shore to Staten Island indicate very clearly that Congress will pass the bill. The arguments against the proposition have all been a very thin veil over the evident fact that the whole opposition comes from opposing railroad lines, and that none of the opposition is from any class of citizens except those under the influence or control of these rival lines. The need of a competing road from the capital to New York is keenly felt here in a variety of ways. * It was so great during the war that Congress, on several occasions, was about ready to give a national charter to a second road. There will be a strong vote for the measure from the central West, the Northwest and the Southwest, all of wnieh sections desire an opening into New Y ork by the B. &O. There will be, besides, a strong Eastern vote. The proposition is so fair and the interest of the public so clearly in favor of the proposed line that it does not seem possible to defeat the proposed bill. Indianapolis Placed on a Footing with Other Competing Points. The revision of rates just completed by the committee of the Middle and Western Classification Association, upon which Indianapolis rates are based to common points, we find on examination is to be of decided advantage to Indianapolis business interests. Below is given the reduction in rates made through the readjustment to a few points, the ratio being about in the same proportion to all points as to the points named: TERKK ELKHART. HAUTE. SEYMOUR. CLASS. Old | New i Old New Old New Rate. Rate. Rate. Rate. Rate. Rate. First 41 35 ~30 25 27 20~~ Second 31 27 25 20 22 16 Third 21 19 20 15 16 13 Fourth 15*a 14 12 10 11 9 Fifth 15 10 8 7 8 7 Sixth 11 9 6 6 7 6 In selecting these points no special pains were taken to select those most favored by the reducdion. A Grasping Railroad Corporation. The present Missouri Pacific has fallen into the same trap which practically rained the Wabash road proper—that of gathering in as branches all roads within reach. In the year 18S5 the Missouri Pacific acquired control or ownership of the following properties: Miles. Omaha Belt I 18 Topeka, Salina & Western 57 Lincoln Extension 35 Wichita & C010rad0...... 50 Minden Branch ....... 72 St.. Louis. Fort Scott & Wichita 246 Paola to Kansas City 54 Verdigris Valley. Ind. & Western 70 Leroy & Caney Valley 35 St. Louis & Emporia 50 Total 687 The committee, in their annual report, add; “The acquisition of other properties, necessary, in the judgment of your directors, to extend its system or for its use, may be required to protect it from rival lines.”

Charged with Forging Tickets. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 28.—John L. Gideon, clerk in the general ticket office of the Missouri & Burlington railway, was arrested this morning, charged with altering and forging railroad tickets, and disposing of them to brokers. It is alleged that Gideon is one of a ring of bogusticket operators, the amount of whose frauds is yet unknown, * „ Miscellaneous Notes. The Kausas City & Southwestern road will hereafter be operated by the St Louis & San Francisco road. The Boston & Albany received from the New York Central 13,553 freight cars at Albany in December last, against 15,476 in December, 1884. The Northwestern road has completed and opened its line from Centerville, D. TANARUS., to Yankton, making a direct line to Yankton thirty miles shorter than any other out of Chicago. The Savannah, Dublin & Western Shore Line Railroad Company has asked prices for 22,000 tons of steel rails, to be delivered not later than October next. Only Pennsylvania manufacturers have been invited to bid. It is stated that no further efforts will be made by any class of bondholders of the Texas & Pacific Railroad Company to have a third receiver appointed for that property. The receivers are to live on the line of the road and give its affairs their individual attention. The earnings of the Baltimore & Potomac railroad for-the past year show an increase over the previous year of $169,009. It has been facetiously suggested that the large number of Democrats going to Washington in search of place has caused this large increase in earnings. The Wall Street News says: We note two views, expressed by the same people, in respect to the B. & O.’s action: First, that it don’t amount to anything, and the other lines will take no notice of it: and, second, that it is very wicked in the B. & O. to do it, because it unsettles everything. In pursuance of the recent order of Jndge Walker, of the United States Court at Cleveland, for the sale of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad, Marshal W. F. Goodspeed, as master commissioner, yesterday decided to sell the road .in Cleveland on March 31. The price is $500,000. The North Chicago Rolling Mill Company in adjusting wages at its North Chicago mills for this year adopted a sliding scale system under which wages depend on the prices of steel and iron, this plan having been in use at the South Chicago mills for a year past. The immediate effect is an advance of from 10 to 12 per cent, in all wages. At Memphis, Teun., yesterday, Judges Baxter and Hammond, sitting on the motion for a receiver for the Memphis, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad Company, on the showing made by complainant in the original and amended bill, without argument decided that no case had been made for the appointment of a receiver, and denied the motion. It is stated that the directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul have fully decided to build the Kansas City extension at a cost of $4,000,000. % It is said thfs sum could be paid by the St Paul company as the work progressed; that enough steel rails have been already purchased, and that the directors would not decide until the now line is finished as to the amunt of bonds that should be put upon the market

The Northwestern Lumberman, of Jan. 16, says: “The feature of trade now interesting the dealers is the lively inquiry for car stuff and the apparent scarcity of it. In the matter of Norway car sills there seems to be fairly lively doings. Buyers are picking up all they can find, and at greatly advanced prices. Stuff that sold' a short time ago at $14.50 a thousand has lately changed hands at sl9, and it is insisted that good Norway car-sills are worth S2O a thousand. Tho New Y'ork Central company has issued an order requiring all station agents, agents, baggagemen and trainmen, both passenger and freight, to fill out a blank which gives for each man his age, the year in which lie entered the euiploj’rnent of tho company, tho year in which he was promoted or appointed to his present position, and whether he is single or married. Station agents are required to fill out the blank for the men under them, and conductors for their trainmen. The object is to compile in a condensed form the record of each man in service on the road.
