AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The Northern Pacific people ljave restored Etes to Portland and other Oregon points to il tariff. ‘ There are 199 stations on the Bee-line system, |35 on the Bee-line proper and sixty-four on the 1 ASt L division. May 1 trains of the Peoria, Decatur & EvansTille road will commence running into the union depot of the E. & T. H. road at Evansville. Albert S. White, assistant general freight Kent of the Bee-line system, spent yesterday in the city, prospecting for business, and talking over rate matters with general freight agents of their connections. From an authentic source it is learned that tieo. L. Bradbtfry will, at an early day, be appointed general manager of the Lake Erie & Western, and, further, that H. C. Parker is to be made manager of the traffic department. The Brotherhood of Brakemen gave a grand hall gt Logansport, Ind., on Monday evening. There were large delegations present from 'Winamac, Goodland, Washington Height*, Peru, Monucello, Delphi and Kokomo. Over two hundred tickets were sold. C. S. Sawyer, general manager of the Continental line, was in the city yesterday, settling up the affairs of this line, which ceases to do business in this territory after May 1, the new Baltimore Kankakee Dispatch working over the roads which the Continental line has. Superintendent Neilson, of the C., H. & D. •ysxem, spent yesterday in the city looking over natters. He reports business fair on tne C., H. D. and everything moving smoothly. The maere the employes become acquainted with him, says one who gets around among the boys, tite more pleased are they with his method of doing things. The pleasure steamer/ailed Wm. R. McKeen, owned by Captain Lord, which plies on Lake Haxinkuckee, is now undergoing repairs, preparatory to the coming season, and Captain Morris is fitting up anew boat There will be some pretty lively raoing, no doubt As yet there are so cottagers at the lake, but. with the cominjfln of May, travel in that direction is looked for. About as good a feeling railroad man as there was in town yesterday was General Freight Agent McDoel. of the L., N. A. & C. _ They are Imndling now, daily, on the system, 700 to 800 loaded cars, and the proporty is carried at paying rates. The revenue of March was in excess •of any corresponding month in the history of the road, and April promises as favorable an exhibit The general freight agents of the roads in the Chicago and Ohio River pool met at the Bates House yesterday and put in the entire day fixing rates northward from the Ohio river. In the early part of the day indications were that but little would be accomplished, the E. & T- H. people demanding too much. After considerable talk, however, each side conceded a little and rates were agreed upon. In addition to the new sleepers, the Wabash Kas added several new chair cars of the latest design nnd workmanship, which are intended for tbo St. Louis and Chicago trains. The coaches are highly finished, carpeted with brussels, the chairs being covered with red plusb. All modern appliances are incorporated in the cars, and they are unexcelled by those of any other line. They are from the Wabash shops at Decatur and Peoria, aud are free to passengers. The Bee-line people hope to yet perfect arrangements to make what is known as their limited St. Louis and New York express a genvine limited train. Under the proposed change the train will reach Indianapolis at 5:30 P. M., leave at 5:45 p. m., run through over the Beelino proper instead of as now, via Dayton, the train connecting at Cleveland with the Lake Bbore limited, and landing passenger* from St Louis ard Indianapolis in New York six hours earlier than under the present arrangement. The Bee-line people expect a favorable answer from the Lake Shore within a day or two. George Grammar, traffic manager of the system of roads under control of the Mackey syndicate, spent yesterday in the city. Mr. Gram mer states that there is no truth in the report that the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville division Is, after May 1, to be worked in connection with the Vandalia, instead of the I. &. St L. t as at present Mattoon, where the P., D. & E. crosses tbs I. & St L., is a division terminal point, and most convenient on that account, for the two roads to work together. Again, the White line and Empire line both work over the P., D. & E. and L & St L., and it would not be wise to disturb present traffic agreements. Normau T. Beckley, general manager of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan road, was in the eity yesterday. This company is making extensive arrangements to secure its share of travel to pleasure resorts the coming summer, a number of which are located on the C., W. & M. At Warsaw this company and the P., Ft W. & (X management have expended some $12,000 in Improvements, which will make the place attractive and comfortable for pleasure seekers, and other improvements are still in progress. Rates will be made which will bring expenses at these pleasure resorts down to such reasonable terms that persons of moderate means can avail themSielves of its benefits. A H. V. Carpenter, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul is already jstimng up the district passenger agents that they may inform pleasure seekers of the attractions the C., M. & St P. offers. Among the northern lakes of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Jfowa, are hundreds of delightful places where one can pass the summer months iu quiet rest And enjoyment, and return home at the end of ■the heated term completely rejuvenated. Each recurring season brings to Oconomowoc, Waukesha. Beaver Dam, Frontenac, Okoboji, Minne tonka, White Bear, and innumerable other ieharming localities with romantic names, thoueaads of the best people whose winterhomes are on either side c* Mason and Dixon’s line. Ele•gance and comfort at a moderate cost can be •readily obtained. May 1, J. M. Hannaford, the well-known freight man, takes the position of general traffic manager of the Northern Pacific, and will have the best wishes of his large acquaintance in railroad circles. Mr. Hannaford reaches this position after twenty years of railroad service, he commencing June 1, 1866. as a clerk in the general freight offices of the Vermont Central, at Bt, Albans, Vt He remained in this position vntil May 11. 1872, when he left the service of the Vermont Central and became an employe of the Northern Pacific, being chief clerk of the freight department at Brainerd up to May 1, 3879. From that until May 1. 1831, Mr. Hannaford was assistant general freight and passenger agent. From May 1, 1881, to Aug. 1. 1883, he filled the position of general freight, agent of the Northern Pacific’s eastern division, and from that time until March 1, 1884, he was assistant superintendent of traffic, becoming, on the lastnamed date, general freight agent of the same road, which position he holds at present. Mr. Hannaford is most deservedly popular, not anly In railroad circles, but with the general public. Noah H. Swayne, one of the attornys of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road, and E. T. Bcott, trustee and manager of the property, were In the city yesterday, taking an inventory of the property. Mr. Swayne left for St Louis last night, and will to day confer with officials of the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific road and Wager Swavne, attorney of the W„ St L. At P. Noah Swayne and E. T. Scott met the L, P. & C. bondholders in New York last week, and it was decided to allow the road to be sold At foreclosure sale, and a decree looking to such action will be issued within the next Brirty days, it is thought The tenor of Mr. Swayne’* remarks leads one to believe that the reorganized Wabash, St Louis & Pacific company expect to secure control of the 1., P. & C., either by purchase at the foreclosure sale, or by lease from the first mortgage bondholders, who Will bid the road in unless the Wabash reorganised company pays a aura for the property which Is satisfactory. So much snarled have the affairs of the 1., P. &C. company become that it bo impossible to give a good title for the goperty except through foreclosure sals. Asking for Settlement of Claims. It now looks as if the purchasers of the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific would have saddled ftpon them fully as many unsettled claims as lid the purchasers of the Toledo, Cincinnati & It Lonia, and of larger sums than the latter, (hie ease comes up Saturday in the foreclosure name on the first mortgage of $4,500,000, on the the Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad CompaEstitiona have been filed in the United States t Court by Philip Henry Brown and John trustees under that mortgage, selling at the lease of that company’s railroad and

rolling stock to the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific, May 22, 1880. By the terms of the lease the Wabash road was to pay .as rental 30 per cent, of the earnings of the leased road; also, the taxes on the property and insurance, besides interest on $2,900,000 of income bonds. Default was made by the Wabash in payment of the rent, and on May 22, 1885, the court ordered Solon Humphreys and Thomas E. Tutt, receivers of the Wabash, to snrrender the Toledo, Wabash & Western to the petitioners as trustees under its mortgage. The petition of the trustees set out that by the lease the Wabash was to restore the rolling-stock in good order. A list is given of thirty-three caboose, coal and box cars, valued at $7,700, which have not been returned. The court is, therefore, asked to compel the receiver of the Wabash to pay the above amount. The petitioners also ask the court to compel Humphreys to pay over to them $164,221.97, being the amount of the net earnings of the Toledo, Peoria & Western actually received by the Wabash. The matter will come up for argument before Judge Gresham ou Friday morning next Still Clamoring for s Redaction in Rates. A strong is being brought to bear upon the general freight agents to indace them to reconsider the vote to make no redaction of east-boand rates with the opening of navigation, and evidently the shippers still have faith that they will accomplish something in this direotion. Speaking of the matter, the Chicago Times says: ‘The position assumed by the trunk lines, as given out, is that they would rather maintain rates on a small tonnage than induce the shipment of increased amounts at unreasonably low rates. This is all very well if the high rate did not become practicably prohibitory, as it is at the present time in its application to the Western roAds that confront lake competition. The rule, made one of the cardinal points of the famous trunk-line compact, that connection, prorating and other usual facilities should be refused to any of the Western lines which openly refuse to maintain rates has been substantially enforced, and has supplied the coercive force that has kept the roads measurably in order. Whether, if the present insignificant tonnage continues, it will result in an open effort on the part of some of tL a Western lines, which are the chief sufferers by this state of thing, to get rid of the trunkine domination remains to be seen. Perhaps, when the trunk lines have secured their share of the enormous amount of grain afloat on the lakes, they may have some con passion on their Western allies and permit a reduction in the rate. “Nothing could erapbasize the above remarks more than the statement of the movement for the past week. The total is 16,883 a decrease from the previous week of 1,761 tons, and from the corresponding week of 1885, of 43.432 tons. As the provision movement is almost a fixed quantity, seldom varying more than 500 tons, it follows that the grain and flour movemeut is almost too insignificant to record.” Making a Mistake in the Outset. It is stated that Commissioner Blanchard proposes to withhold from the press the proceedings at tbeir various meetings. This is a mistake. The more important action taken will leak out, and it is much better to have it reported directly from the minutes of the meeting, or upon information of the secretary, than in points which a reporter will catch onto when circulating around among railroad men to ascertain what was done. The railroad interests of this country have become too largely interwoven with business generally to admit of coving up the proceedings of any conference of rail wav ‘officials. An honorable newspaper reporter is as competent as is Commissioner Blanchard to understand what information should be placed before the public through the press, and, further, any honorable newspaper reporter would readily refrain from publishing any information which would be damaging to railroad interests if requested so to do by any official who holds a prominent position. There is nothing which will sooner put a live newspaper man on his metal and make him determined to secure information he desires than for a railroad official to snub him, and there is nothing a good newspaper reporter desires more than the confidence of railroad officials; and anything given to him in confidence seldom appears in print. Accepts the Situation Gracefully. George L. Bradford, who retires from the position of general manager of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville road May 1, has issued the following circular: “The owners of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad Company have acquired the control of this property by securing a majority of this board of directors and the election of Mr. D. J. Mackey as president of the company, vice Mr. C. R. Cummings, resigned. Commencing with May 1, 1886, the management of the company will be merged with that of the Evansville & Terre Haute Railroad Company, with general offices at Evansvillo, Ind. “In retiring from the management of the company, as I will on the above-mentioned date, after a service of nearly nine yearß, I desire to express my grateful acknowledgement and heartfelt thanks to the officers and employes for their earnest co-operation and cordial support, and for the fidelity with which they have discharged their several duties in the interests of the company. I bespeak for the new management the same hearty support and earnest efforts heretofore accorded to myself." THE RECORD OF THE COURTS. Superior Court. Room I—Hon. Napoleon B. Taylor. Jndre.

Receiver Rand, of the Indiana Banking Com pany, petitioned Judge Taylor, yesterday, for an order of sale of certain mining stock in his hands as receiver. The stock consists of seven bond* of the Morris Ravine Mining Company of the face value of $5. In the hands of the receiver are, also, 200 shares of an Oregon mining company, of the face value of SIOO,OOO. All of thi* stock is said to be worthless, but certain responsible parties want them surrendered, in order to relieve certain property, and the creditors of the banking company have agreed to surrender all, except the seven bonds. The receiver, therefore, asked an order to sell the bonds to A. W. Hendricks for the nominal sui** $5. The order was made. A Correction. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I see in this morning’s Journal that J. E. Sullivan has again succeeded in getting his name before the public in connection with mine, and, accidentally or otherwise, as the owner of the block which I recently purchased at the corner of Delaware and Maryland streets, and remodeled as my permanent place of business. The Ritzinger heirs owned Q the storage-house on Pearl street, west of Mississippi, which I occupied temporarily, and have leased until May 1. The restraining order mentioned in your paper this morning had reference to some old sheds and fixtures of trifling value adjoining this building. Arthur Jordan. A Strike Ordered—A Fable fpr the Times. The busy day was over, and the night With gentle quiet soothed the wear}' men, Who all day long had worked with hand and brain; And sleep, blest goddess! gave forgetfulness. The tired beasts of burden toiled no more, But rested in their stables. O’er the scene The peaceful moon a benediction shed. Yet in the horse-car stables was a sound Os eager, restless hoof3, that strove to make No noise, as a young horse crept softly up To where old Dobbin calmly slept and snored. “Wake, Dobbin, wake! I bring yon glorious news,”. He cried; “to-morrow all we steeds will strike! Horses no longer are we, but we are Chargers of Freedom!—C. O. F. for short When we shall write it in a monogram. We strike! To-morrow when the hostler comes To harness you, throw up your vigorous heels, And straight refuse to put that harness on. If he would turn you to the right, then left Is the direction for your restless feet. In short, obey him not. 'Tis my command, Per order of the Past Grand Master Charger!" “Neigh, but,” said Dobbin, “if I mind him not, The hostler will my toothsome oats hold back, And who will feed me then?” “The Chargers will Share their own oats with all who follow them." “Neigh, but," said Dobbin, “may I still inquire How these same chargers will themselves be fed?" “We hope, we trust, the mules and other beasts Will gladly furnish u* from their own stores." “Neigh, but," eaid Dobbin, “Hope is in the Future; And Hunger ever liveth in the Present. But may l ask just why you horses strike!". “We strike because—because—weli, really, now, We strike because the others order us. The C. O. F. have said that we must strike Because all horses live not equally. Now listen, Dobbin, on. Fifth-avenue There lives a man who, just because his horse Is wild, and will not draw his wife's coupe, Has bought another horse; and lo! the first Can find no purchaser! O tyranny! There was a pause. Old Dobbin eyed his oats, And then with fondness eyed his clean straw bed; And then he gazed upon the youthful steed; And then, at last, he broke the pause and spoke: I know that I am old, and that my way Ot‘ thinking is not like thine own, young colt, And yet, to me, the matter standeth thus— If I give up my present peaceful stall, And keeper kind, and bountiful with oats, To obey the mandates*of the C. O. F., I change one master for a crowd of masters: How shall this change work benefit to me? Neigh, then.” said Dobbin, “one I mind with ease, But many masters are too hard to please!" —Boston Transcript. THE DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.
