AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and LocaL Mr. W. 8. Jackson, husband of Helen Hunt, Sill probably become president of the Denver & io Grande railway when reorganized. The Indianapolis car works are working 420 Cen on full time, and have orders on hand and prospect which will keep them busy for some months. Albert S. White, assistant general freight Kent of the Bee-line, is having a tussel with e whooping cough, and has been unfitted for fluty a day or two by the disease. P. B. Sargeant, Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen’s Association, who has been ill some weeks in Terre Haute, is so pouch improved in health as to be about on the streets. . C- C. Gridley has been appointed general freight and ticket agent of the Toledo, Columbus 6 Southern railway, in place of R F. Wilson. r, T. EL McLain has been appointed auditor and ear accountant. The bottom it apparently out of east-bound business. Even from Indianapolis proper shipPrs are so well satisfied that a reduction in rates near at hand that they hold back what little Stuff might go forward. The express business as well as freight traffic b unfavorably affected by the labor troubles, pod is fully 50 per cent, lighter than last month, pnd falling below the business of the corresponding period of 1885. The strike troubles in the Southwest and West are severely affecting one branch of traffic. The shipments of harvesting and agricultural implements at this season of the year usually |ften reach train-loads, but have now dropped to occasionally a car load. The demands of the 1., B. & W. and C. H. & D., in connection with Erie lines, for an eastbound differential passenger rate is becoming more and more of a disturbing element in the /new Central Traffic Association, and means •erious trouble in the near future. Mr. Jav Gould has contributed $750,000 to the Drexel-Morgan syndicate for the reoreanizaiion Os Reading. In a private conversation Mr. Gouid Stated that he was in thorough accord with the plan and that it would prove the salvation of the Company, of whose great value he had the very Dighest opinion. The high waters at Cincinnati are not interfering with the freight business of the C., 1., St L. tk C. Yardmaster Hicks reports 134 loaded cars forwarded to Cincinnati yesterday, most of which were to go forward from Cincinnati over the C., W. & 8., the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Cincinnati Southern. Committees to refer disputes to are of great convenience in operating pools. The truck-line pool, when it strikes a snag, goes around it. Although the pool has progressed very steadily, Em to the signing of the freight-pool oontraots, bsday. it has a barrelful of undecided quesns which haunt the magnates ever. W. A. Carpenter has been appointed traffic manager of the Detroit, Lansing & Northern road and the Saginaw Valley & St. Louis road, With office at Detroit, the position of general freight agent boiug abolished. He has also been made traffic manager of the Chicago & West Michigan road, with headquarters at Muskegon. The engineers of the L, D. & S. railway learned with sorrow of the death of Mrs. H. B. Hammond, and sympathize with Mr. Hammond In the great less he has sustained in the death of a devoted wife, and as a token of their respect and esteem for him have thought proper to drape the number plates of their engines in mourning for thirty days. . Matters with the Chicago & Ohio River pool continue to move along smoothly, while other associations of like character are here to day and gone to-morrow. This pool is safely pilots'i between the breakers, and so fairly are the per cents, adjusted that a few hundred dollars pays the balances between the roads in any month. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the *‘model pool" of this country. George I. SeDey sold SBOO,OOO in the income bonds of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, Vrhich he had “in 3oak,” at about 60, to Presiflent Mackey, of the E. &T. H. A few months ggo the Metropolitan National, of New York, was going to let the bonds eo at 22, but Seney persuaded the officers of the bank to hold off and give him a chance to do better, and he fleems to have accomplished his purpose. There is a rumor, which seems, when traced back, to have some good authority, to the effect mat M. E. Ingalls, when in New York, week before last, was offered the presidenoy of the Beeline system. That he would be the man for the place will not be questioned, yet he is so wrapped ftp in the C., 1., St. L. & C., it is questionable irhether he would accept the position said to bare been offered him. Railroad officials who have watched the proceedings of late looking to the throwing of the Chicago & Atlantic road into the hands of a receiver, look upon the decision of Judge Gresham Yesterday, as a signal victory for H. J. Jewett, president of the G. & A. The decision will, without doubt, be a disappointment to John Ring, president of the Erie, and his friends, Who are supposed to be urging on the troublesome litigation. While the liv4 stock traffic of Indianapolis loads, for some weeks past has been unusually light, taken as a whole, the local movement of live stock has been larger than in any corresponding period since the yards were opened at Indianapolis. The receipts of hoes since March J. have been fully 40 per cent, heavier than in ftoy former year, while through live stock sliipfaents have been lighter than in any corresponding period for many years. Railroad officials at this point are highly gratifled that the managements of the Northwestern goads are returning to their senses, and that the •uioidal war on rates is nearing its close. The breaking up of the Northwestern Traffic Association was one of the most serious events that has happened in the railroad world since the West Shore-New York Central imbroglio, which Involved the trunk lines in the severest cutting of rates and consequent losses ever before known. The railroad companies are just waking up to be fact that uuderbilling has been one of the figgest leaks in their revenue, and are not satisfied with simply weighing cars laden with umber, grain, etc., but at several points bave Commenced weighing depot freights more carefully, forwarded to local stations. Cleveland roads, in the month of March, commenced Weighing local freights, and the Bee-line aione incretvted its tonage 112 tons. For instauce, sugar, which weighs 360 pounds per barrel, is billed out by all roads at 300 pound®; canned foods, which weigh 60 pounds in two dozen can oxes. are carried for 33 pounds, and hundreds of articles are proportionately underbilled. Commissioner Doherty, of the Indianapolis east bound pool, has gone to Chicago to talk over pool percentages. The Chicago Inter Ocean save: ’‘The beroeotage committee of the Central Traffic Association may be reported as making progress, Slthough such progress is made very slowly. The committee was again in session yesterday at Commissioner George R Blanchard’s office, and spent the whole day discussing percentages, points and fares. One point after another was discussed, pud its percentages jotted down. Then, after every point has been considered, the whole report trill be discussed with a view of adoption. If adopted it will be referred to the general association for ratification. Another meeting will be held to day.”

The manager of one of the Western lines stated yesterday, to a Journal representative, that he was about to adopt anew policy. He had determined to draw up an agreement, to be signed by him, as manager of the property, and by each employe, to the effect that he would not discharge a man without giving him ten days’ notice and without giving the employe a good reason for discharging him. On the other hand, be would not employ a man who would not agree to give the road ten days notice that he proposed to leave, so that, if necessary, he (the manager) would have ample time to fill the Dlaco of the retiring employe, and in case the latter had grievances, he would listen to them and act honorably In adjusting them, if possible. The Cleveland Leader is much disturbed lest the Nickel-plate road will become a member of the Central Traffic Association, and asks judicial interference. The Leader says: “There is reason for believing that the Erie company will •ueeeed in badgering the Vanderbilts into making the Nickel plate a member of the Central Traffic Association. The Nickel plate, with Its single accommodation train daily, is a very harmless competitor for New York business against three fully-equipped roads. It does sacfeed, by industrious efforts, in picking up some business, but if fettered by the high rates which

the Central Traffic Association is seeking to impose upon Cleveland, it would undoubtedly lose even this little through business, because the road is not allowed to make close connections at Buffalo with any trunk line. The assertion has often been made that the Nickel-plate cannot be made a member of an association like the Central Passenger Committee or the Traffic Association, because it is in the bands of a receiver. It is noticeable, however, that other roads, controlled by receivers, are enrolled as members of these bodies, either by the blindness of the courts to the fact, or by their expressed or implied permission." Unfortunate for Business Generally. It seems very unfortunate that the labor troubles and high water, which have so much damaged railroad interests of late, occurred at the present time, as prior to these troubles the skies were bright for the roads, and a prosperous year was confidently expected, which meant prosperity £or the business interests of the country generally. The January, February and early March earnings of Indianapolis roads were highly satisfactory, and promised to continue so to be through the entire year. The roads out of Chicago, or a majority of them, made a satisfactory showing down to the end of March. In the meantime, what is the result shown by such of the trunk roads as make weekly or monthly reports! The Erie railway shows for January and February a gain over 1885 of $396,023 gross and $228,430 net. The Pennsylvania railroad, east of Pittsburg,, shows for the same months a gain of $617,789 gross and $398,082 net, while its entire system shows a gain of $414,415 net, and the Grand Trunk, of Canada, the northern competitor of the Vanderbilt system, ahows an increase in gross earnings of $48,704 for the week ending on March 20, and of $149,301 for the period from Jan. 1 to March 20, and on the very ground where the strikes were inaugurated the roads were in the height of prosperity. The receivers of the Texas & Pacific railroad have reported the earnings of that road for January and February, with a comparison with 1885—a service which has not been rendered for the roads of that system for a couple of years past. The Texas & Pacific gross earnings show an increase of $87,000 for January, and of $125,700 for J anuary and February, the gain being about 25 per cent for January and 17 per cent for the two months. The Missouri Pacific earnings were equally favorable. This is the kind of business which the strikers have interrupted. Bneonraglog to the Legal Fraternity. One of the most prominent railroad attorneys of this country remarked yesterday to a Journal representative that, with the exception of New York and the New England States, 90 per cent, of the railroad mileage in the country must necessarily pass through bankruptcy sooner or later, so heavy are their bonded debts. He knew of but few roads in the West, the Northwest and Southwest which were not bonded for doable the real worth, and in many cases treble what it would eost to parallel, or did cost to build these roads. He said “that under the most favorable conditions these roads could not continue to run and pay the interest on so heavy a bonded indebtedness. The tendency was to lower passenger and to lower freight rates, and the business of the railroads did not increase in proportion to the reduction in rates from year to year, consequently the revenue each year shows a steady falling off. In years past this decrease in revenue had been partially met by reducing the wages of the employes, and the last year or two by expending as little monev in improving road-beds and equipments as the ease would admit, but the bottom has . been reached in these directions and deficits would needs be met from other sources, either through refunding schemes or some character of reorganization through which bonded debts could be cut down nearer to the real valuation of the property.. This means, in most cases, bankruptcy. As nine-ty-nine out of one hundred of the first mortgage bondholders bid in the property at foreclosure sales, they suffer no real loss except the court expenses and lawyer’s fees, and this is more than met in a majority of cases by the road freeing itself from old claims which were in dispute, or, in other words, the road starts off with a clean record.

A Good Time to Wipe Ont Old Scores. Now let there be no more quarreling among the local passenger agents. Under the new traffic agreement Indianapolis has an auxiliary association, with Mr. Doherty, pool commissioner, as chairman. He holds money in his hands to pay the fine of any agent who has cut rates, if it be fairly proven on him. If an agent of the Bee-line has evidence that an L, B. & W. agent has cut a rate, turn it over to Chairman Doherty to investigate and fix the penalty. If the 1., B. & W. has evidence that the Pennsylvania hues are catting rates, give such evidence to Mr. Doherty—not cut a rate to meet it. This is a good time to wipe out old scores and begin anew. The railroads badly need all the revenue which can be secured, and evidently there is a determination to put a stop to rate-cutting at Indianapolis. Another point in this matter—it is as much cutting rates to work through a scalper as for an agent to make a direct cut. It was alleged, yesterday, that two roads had braced up rates at their local offices, and turned a lot of tickets over to a scalper. Turn the evidence over to Mr. Doherty, he will sift it to the bottom. .He has taken hold of this matter in earnest Mr. Holland and tne C.,H. &D.R.R. Company. To the Erl'tor of flio 1 iKlianapoliN Journal: My attention has just been called to an article which appeared in your issue of March 18, in regard to the Julietta bridge accident on the C., H. &I. railroad, in which the engineer, Mr. C. A. Holland, was badly injured. After stating the fact that Mr. Holland had sued the company for $30,000 damages, it goes onto say that the railroad company paid all his surgeons’ bills and even household expenses, and Mr. Holland repaid all this kindness with a lawsuit, which would be very unkind in Mr. Holland if the case as stated was true. But the fact is, the C., H. & D. Railroad Company has not paid a doctor bill, nurse bill, drug-store bill, household bill, or any other bill, to this day, and the party that furnished or inspired the article knows it At the time the accident occurred in which Mr. Holland was injured (the 18th of last November), the C., H. & D. officers seemed very anxious, and particularly requested that all bills be sent to them for payment; but to this, the Bth day of April (nearly five months), not a penny have they paid, and the prospect is not very flattering that they will ever pay„ Is this such kiudness to an injured employe as to deserve grateful mention? Please publish this in justice to Mr. Holland and others. r. K. Advance in Transcontinental Fares. Chicago, April 8. —Orders were received here this evening to advance the rates by the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe from Kansas City to San Francisco, for first-class limited, from $5 to sl2, making the rate from this city $21.50 instead of $14.50. The round-trip rate is thus advanced to $43. The $57 round-trip rate, good for thirty days, and the $94 round-trip rate, good for six months, will remain in force. The second-class rate from Kansas City is advanced to $7, making the rate from Chicago sl4. The Santa Fe says it is compelled to make this advance solely owing to their inability to care for any more travel than is already coming to the road, owing to the former low rate for limited tickets. Change of a County-Seat. The Governor yesterday appointed David Jordan and Capt. W. H. H. Henderson, of Corydon, and George Friedman of Jasper, members of a commission to appraise the property of Crawford county, under proceedings to change the eounty-seat from Leavenworth to English. SCOTT’S EMULSION OF PURE Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, IS REMARKABLE AS A FLESH PRODUCER. The increase of flesh and strength is perceptible immediately after commencing to use the Emulsion. The Cod Liver Oil emulsified with the Hypophosphites is most remarkable for its healing, strengthening, and flesh-producing qualities.

THE CENTRAL UNION’S INTENTIONS. The Company Will Hold the City Responsible if Any Patron Claims Damages. There were no developments in the telephone troubles yesterday materially changing the aspect of the situation. Mr. Wallick, in speaking of the action of the Common Council in abrogating the franchises of the Central Union in this city, stated that it was the purpose of the company to carry out all its contacts, and if prevented from doing this would have recourse against the city if any patron should claim damages. Many additional applications for private lines have been filed, and the company believes that notwithstanding the repealing ordinance, it will be able to furnish service of this charaoter. Public telephone stations are to be established at different points in the city for the use of patrons whose instruments have been removed, and a charge of not more than 10 cents will be made to persons using the service. This, however, is simply an arrangement which will not be guaranteed longer than June. The work of taking out the telephones of patrons whose contracts have expired still oontinues. Fifty-nine instruments were removed yesterday, the names of the subscribers renting them being as follows. Sander & Recker, C. Brink, J. M. Judah, Donnan & Off, C. Vonnegut, L. H. Mueller, M. W. Grim, Jos. Lewark, Grand Hotel, H. Smith, 8. Mattler, Carter & Ponder, Franklin Insurance Cos., United Order of Honor, Richards Sc Kothe, Island Coal Cos., L. A. Greiner, O. S. Runnels, office, F. E.

Shover, I. L. Frankem, Theo. Deitz, Born & Cos., Becker & Son. There is some talk among members of the Common Council about organizing a telephone service to be operated under the direction of the city government, but the matter has assumed no definite shape. In view of this project Mr. J. L. Bay, the manager of the Southern Telephone Company, which operates an exchange at Little Rock, has prepared the following proposition, which will be submitted to the Common Council at its next meeting: “To the Honorable City Council and Board of Aidermen, Indianapolis, Ind.: “The undersigned, in v iew of the very embarrassed and uncertain condition of the telephone service in your city, believes that any proposition to relieve the situation will be kindly received and considered by your honorable body, and therefore respectfully calls your attention to the columns of the daily Journal and the daily Sentinel, of this date, relating to telephone matters, and more particularly to that portion which relates to the object of my visit to your city. I also bee leave to state that I shall be abundantly prepared to guarantee any contract that I may make with your city, or citizens, with the most substantial indorsement. Our company has been doing almost the entire telephone business of Little Rock, Ark., since October, 1885. Our instrument has been patented iu the face of all objections and claims made by the Bell company, and for over a week two of our instruments have been placed on an eighteen mile test at Evansville, with the most satisfactory results. I also further state that, as far as we know, our company controls the only telephone that has withstood the assaults of the Bell company, and that it can be purchased outright, having no royalty whatever. We are perfectly willing, at any time, to make a comparative test of long-distance or plain talking with any of the various ’phones now being brought to your city for trial or patronage. Having heard that there was a probability of your city undertaking the management of your telephone service, I have been influenced by that fact to address this communication to your honorable body, and which I now respeotfully submit to your consideration. “J. L. Bay, “General Manager and Director of the Southern Telephone Company." The County Commissioners yesterday ordered the telephone company, by written notice, to take their instruments out of the court-house, jail, work-house and poor-farm, eleven instruments in all.

O Hello. Oh, Telephone, thou great invention! To add to thy world-wide renown, Or, in the leastwise, ‘‘run thee down,” Is certainly not my intention. But selfish men of base ambitions, And likewise wily politicians, Have come between us, our ties they sever— It may be for a time, perhaps forever. We shall miss thee—this sudden disconnection Does sadly us dispose, for in thee did we see perfection. But though we by thy absence be much affected, We could, but will not alter it—the laws must be respected. THE RECORD OF TnE COURTS. United States District Court. Hon. W. A. Woods. Judge. 8103.

Conveyances, 18; consideration $23,230.00 Amusement Matters. The brilliant 'spectacle, “Zozo, the Magic Queen,” continues to draw large and highly pleased audiences at the Grand. It will be repeated to-night, to-morrow night, and at the matinee to-morrow afternoon, which will give the children an opportunity to see the wonders of fairyland. The claim is made for Mr. Sol Smith Russell’s new play, “Felix McKusick,” which he will present at the Grand the first part of next week, that it is anew departure in the way of stage production, and very amusing. Mr. Russell plays a very comical part, in which he introduces hia popular specialties and character impersonations. A suit was instituted at Evansville, yesterday, by John T. Dickson against J. W. Morrissey, manager of Mile. Rhea, to recover $2,609.38, alleged to be due Dickson for advances made on account of their partnership in “Romany Rye,’’ which has not been a success this season. Mor* risaey denies owing Dickson anything. THE DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.
