AFf AIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Penunal nad Local. It is stated that the Union Railway Company goat their bonds at 4 per cent per annum. The L, B. & W. will, in February of this year, it is stated officially, show an increase in earnings over February, 1885, of $35,000. The meeting of the presidents and general managers of the roads in the Union Railway Company has been postponed until Friday. The Lackawannafast-freirht line is doing quite • respectable business out of this section, easthound, forwarding in February 409 cars of grain nd lumber. The meeting of the general managers of the lines in the Northwestern Traffic Association, galled for yesterday in Chicago, has been postponed until April 1. Mr. O. W. Rneeles, general passenger agent of ihe Michigan Central road, was called to St. liouis Monday by the death of his brother, who jiai been an invalid for some time past. H. R. Duval, general manager of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company, who came porth to attend the funeral of T. A. Lewis, returned to Jacksonville, Fla., last evening. When General Manager Scott eete the steel Els, now distributed on the 1., P. & C. road, the track, sixty-six miles of the seventy-three tween Indianapolis and Peru will be laid with steel. A. Pope has been appointed general freight git of the Norfolk & Northwestern road in eof Charles P. Hatch, resigned, and W. B. ill is appointed general passenger and ticket The present management of the L., N. A & (Q, claim that they are now operating the road on $£ per eent. of the gross earnings. When they fc ek the road it cost 90 per cent of the gross warnings to operate it The C., 1., St L. & C., as soon as the frost is the ground, will gravel all that portion of Western division lying between Templeton pnd Kankakee. The Big Four will then be graveled its gntire length and laid with steel. Chief Engineer Devore, of the Indianapolis, m River & Western road, has just returned jgrom New York, and says he is much encouraged the outlook for this enterprise; that the friends of it have by no means abandoned the Northern manufacturers of railway supplies prmild do well to fcurh their eyes southward. |dere than 10,000 miles have been added to the jrailroad lines of the Southern States since 1880, pad the actual cost of railroads and their equipments is said to have been doubled in the same fhne. A railroad official who is well informed regarding the affairs of the Union Railway Company gemarked last evening that it was no exaggeration to sav that the chances were about even that the new Union Depot would be located on rie East Washington street C., St. L. & P. and , P. & C. grounds. Simon Sterne, one of the largest bondholders wf the 1., D. & S., last week, after making a trip over the line, remarked that 80 per cent, of the track was as good as that of the New York, JJew Haven & Hartford road. He could not •press pay a better compliment to the road, as the physical condition of the N. Y., N. H. & H. is

%lmost perfect. All the talk of the L., N. A. & C., the 1., P. & ID.. or the C., H. & D. cutting loose from the Vaion Railw \y Company and its facilities is hners ‘•bosh.” The Union Railway Company can bach better get along without either or all of these roads than can the leasing lines get along Sihout the facilities offered; and, when pressed, b official of either of the roads give e T ‘dence st it is a game of bluff on their part The G., C. C. & I. stockholders hold their an9>ua] meeting to-day in Cleveland. There will Im three new directors tb elect As the board of directors now stands there are seven Ohio ■sen in it, including E. B. Thomas, and six New York men. It is understood that thfreo more firm York men will be elected to-day. It is exported that J. H. Devereux will be re-elected president and given a year’s leave of absence, Sloping that such a rest will benefit his health. The passenger agents whose headquarters are glo have organized what they claim is the 1 rate-maintaining association. They have a secret agreement, which is said to be slad and unbreakable, and will hereafter p>rerent the agents from cutting below one an*)|V<r. The agents of the New York Central, Vest Shore, Erie. Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Jjake Shore and Michigan Central have signed and it is expected that those of the Grand ■JTrunk, Nickel-plate, Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia, and Northern Central will do so this ftreek, when the agreement will be complete. Indianapolis roads have the past winter been yorj exempt from the usual accidents at this Kason of the year. Inquiry shows that not a ain or even a car has been derailed by a broken rail, nor seriously delayed by snow blockades, neither has there been the usual number of collisions. Eastern roads have not fared so well. January was a trvirnr month for many of the fronds in the matter of operating expenses, which nrtsre increased by the storms that prevailed in Ihe East This fact finds expression in the frtrtcment of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, which show an increase in operating expenses of $183,047. This was partially offset by a gain of $144,014 in gross earnings, and left the net only $39.033 below January of last year. The increase in gross is a favorable sign, indicating as it does an improvement in business, and the enlarged expenses are the result of a temporary cause, which has already passed away.

Combating Only for Recognition. The transcontinental war on rates has reached fetich proportion that a statement of the real muse of the fight is of interest This fight bejrwn by the demand of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe for 40 per cent of the entire Pacific Boast traffic, embracing the through business between any place east of the Rocky mountains pad the Piicific coast The cause of this demand Is understood to be that the Atchison and the fiaa Francisco have made an agreement to lend ♦ho Atlantic jSs Pacific the money to pay the interest on its first mortgage of $25,000 per mile. The Atlantic & Pacific has scarcely any local hosicess, and is therefore largely dependent on through business, and unless the Atchison can secure the 40 per cent, demanded for it, the Atchison and the St. Louis & San Francisco must •ithsr advance the money for its interest or let It goby default. But as against these domands pre the claims of Huntington’s *’Sunset route,” which is a steamship line from New York to New Orleans and thence by rail 2,500 miles to San Francisco. This line claims to have carried 37J per cent, of the whole California traffic with the States east of the Mississippi, whereas the demands of the Atchison would leave but 60 per >ent. between three lines, viz.: the “Sunset route," the Burlington—Denver & Rio Grande— Central Pacific and the Union Pacific—Central pacific. None of these lines are willing to give she Atchison 40 per cent, and the “Sunset route” has assumed the aggressive iu the fight against (t The continuance of the fight will injure the Atlantic & Pacifio more than any other; hex! after that the Texas Pacific would ♦eel its effects, and next the Denver & Rio /Grande and the Union Pacific. The Northern Pacific would experience comparatively little latnage. Its greatest loss would be iu the comKaiion for passengers via San Francisco to rtland. Ore. C. W. Smith, general manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, says the company went into the present warfare fully cognizant of what would'eusue, and it has no fear’s of what ihe outcome will be. It is combatling for a recognition of the importance of its position in the Southwest, and its right to a proportion of the business commensurate with its rights in the ssse, and feels perfectly confident of its ability to maintain its part of the controversy to its own id vantage. No Grounds for Leasing Lines to Complain. H. B. Hsnmond, president and receiver of &e 1., D. Si S. road, says the terms upon whioh <he Union Railway Company offer their present facilities sad contemplated facilities are on as fair a basis as could be offered. He gali, “Usually, railway companies which pesseas tbs advantages which those com* jKJSing the Union Railway Company have pra very arbitrary, but he has studied carefully ♦ha conditions on which leasing lines can pos•esa themselves of the facilities the Union Railway Company offer, and has shown it to others WoU versed in such matters, and ail are of the

opinion that it is equitable in all respects.” The property was appraised by the chief engineers of eleven of the fifteen roads centering here, and. on their appraisement, each road pays its proportion of the interest The Union Railway Company, Mr. Hammond says, went still farther. They appointed a committee to hear any grievances proprietary or leasing lines had to make, and none were reported. C. E. Henderson, general manager of the L, B. & W., said he could see no reason why the C., H. & L, the L, P. & C., or the L., N. A. & C. should be allowed the privilege of the Union tracks, etc., on any better terms than those the Union Railway Company offer the L, B. & W., or other roads. He did not look upon it as a money-making scheme on the part of the Union Railway Company; the Union tracks and Belt road were maintained and operated on the money derived from the use of their tracks, and each road paid on the wheelage basis. The road that used the track most paid the most money. He said possibly exceptions could be taken to paying 7 per cent, interest on the appraised value of the property. This 7 per cent, interest on the appraised value of the property belonging to the Union railway seems to be one of the objections to the agreement, yet, if we understand it, all surplus revenue will bo used in making necessary improvements. The idea that with the building of the new Union Depot no more money will bo needed is a false one. As business increases Pogue’s Run, from Meridian to Washington street, must be walled up, and heavy iron girders will rest upon these walls, upon which two additional tracks must be laid. For 'ihe next twenty years what little surplus money can be derived from any source will be needed. No road or no official will be Oenefitted above another in a financial way. unless the meaning of the proposition of the Union Railway Company is misunderstood. E. T. Scott, general manager of the 1., P. & C., said last evening he had carefully examined the basis on which the Union Railway Company propose to adroit leasing liees, and he must say it was honorable and fair. It was really a mutual benefit association, and he was far from saying that the L, P. & C. would withdraw from its benefits. _ The Inside History. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press gives the ineide hist ory of the Vander-bilt-Gowen-Reading stock deal. Mr. Gowen, while in company with a number of gentlemen, in New York city, gave his reasons why a purchase of Reading shares might be profitable, and in a few minutes a pool was formed to buy tho shares belonging to the Vanderbilt boys, The gentlemen present took the following interests in the deal: Shares. Charles F. Woerishoffer 10,000 Addison Cammack 10,000 Alfred Sully 15.000 Maxwell & Graves 10,000 Franklin B. Gowen 10,000 Other friends 17,000 Mr. Woerishoffer is one of the shrewdest and besVknown traders on the street. Mr. Sully is the vice-president of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, and is a large holder of Reading generals and incomes, purchased during last year on speculation. It is said Mr. Sully had every piece of property of the Reading company examined before he began his purchases. He represents a number.of gentlemen in these operations, Austin Corbin being of the number. The objects of the parties who made the purchase were diverse. Messrs. Cammack and Woerishoffer were engaged in a bear deal in the market, and their sole object was to knock prices, in which they were partially successful. Suliy’s object is said to have been purely a speculative one. In the next few months he expects Reading securities to be strong and the stock higher. Mr. Gowen and the rest of the purchasers bought because they have faith in the property. It is understood that the pool is not bound to hold for any length of time. The Vanderbilts sold the stock in pursuance of a plan of their father, who is said to have made up his mind to dispose of his Reading iD the open market a few weeks before he died.

Precautionary Measures. The Prussian state railroads offer certain rewards for the discovery of defects in road and rolling-stock that might cause accident, provided notice is given early enough to prevent further damage, namely: For finding a b reak or crack in a rail, or iron sleeper, or in a frog, which locomotives run over, 36 cents to $1.45; for a crack in an axle. $1.45 to $3.60; for a fracture or crack in a tire, 36 cents to $1.45; fora fracture or crack in a Bessemer steel or cast steel wheel, 73 cents to $1.45; for a fracture in the hub of a wheel, or a wheel loose on its axle, 36 cents to $1.45. Further discretion may be used in giving rewards as follows, when more than ordinary attention is necessary to discover the defects: For fractures of parts of the coupling apparatus, including the draw-bar and the draw-hooks, 24 to 73 cents; for defects in pistous, piston rods, connecting and coupling rods, crank-pins and boilers, 36 cents to $3.60. Shop men also may be given premiums for discovering some of these defects, when special attention is neoessary. Miscellaneous Notea The Smillie car-coupler has been in experimental use on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western for the last two years, and is to be now applied to 900 cars on that line. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad is fitting up two portable ballast-chrushers, consisting of a Gates chrusher and a Westinghouse engine, coupled together and mounted on a flat car. A bill has passed one branch of the Legislature of Massachusetts providing for a gradual abolishment of grade crossings on railroads. This is a decided step in advance, it is in the interest of the public, and also in the interest of the railroads. General Manager Callaway, of the Union Pacific, says, in regard to the transcontinental fight, that his company are for peace and a conservative course, and that ho has never known a fight of this kind to produce beneficial results to any of the participants. There are twenty-seven railroads in Kansas—railroads in name. But they are owned and operated by three great systems of the West, as follows: The Atchison,' Topeka & Santa Fe owns and operates twelve of them; the Missouri Pacific owns and operates six of them, and the Union Pacific owns and operates nine of them. There is not a single railroad—not a foot of road—operated by a local company. The Wilmington (Del.) car-works are building 250 cars for a railroad in the Argentine Confederation. Part of them are nearly finished. Os the number, 100 are box cars and 150 platformcars, They will be shipped to Buenos Ayres by vessels. Two of the four open excursion-cars for the Estrada do Ferro do Norte have already been shipped to Rio Janeiro, and the other two are rapidly approaching completion. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is supplying its freight and passenger locomotives with anew form of grate, for which a number of important claims are made. The grate is made up of two sections, each operated by a lever in the cab. The stationary bars extend tho entire length of the grate, and are hollow, permitting the circulation of water, so as to prevent overheating. Alternate bars may be shifted for raking and cleaning the fire, with the results, it is claimed, of effecting a large saving of labor over the old method of manipulation. The fire can, moreover, be cleaned of ashes and cinders by this new device without disturbing the burning coal. Before and After. Arkansaw Traveler. In Arkansas, at a country dance: . “Who is that woman, that one with such a peaked nose and scrawny neck?” “That’s Mrs. Poppleton. You know her husband. He is a prominent candidate for Congress. Ugly, isn’t she?” Three years later. Report in Washington newspaper: “Mrs. Poppleton, the handsome wife of Congressman Poppleton, was dressed in an elegant claret colored velvet, made with court train; front, iridescent beads. She is one of the handsomest women in Washington, and entertains in a charming manner.” Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, ITS USK IN LUNG TROUBLES. Dr. Hiram Cardoretto, of Jacksonville, Fla., says: “I have for the last ten months prescribed your Emulsion to patients suffering from lung troubles, aud they seem to be greatly benefited by its use."
