AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. This is the month in which the early vacation travelers return home, so that trahu both ways How are Ailed to their capacity. Charles L. Paris retired, yesterday, from the passeoger service of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. 4 He has been in the harness since 1866. ' Earnings of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western for the third week in July were $55,000, an increase of $15,000 over those of the same week last year. General Swavne. attorney for the Wabash in New York city, is in St Louis in conference with Receiver Tutt relative to the transfer of the property, which will take place about Sept. 15. The interchange of traffic at Albany, between ’the Boston & Albany and New York Central Toads is simply immense. Laot roonth_ it amounted to 23,058, or an average of nearly > <0 carß per day. Col. J. Hill, general manager of the \ andalia. last week, made a thorough trip of inspection of the line. He says he found everything in firstclass shape. The new freight cars will be ready for delivery in a few weeks. It is reported from Chicago that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe was endeavoring to arrange a traffic agreement with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, to become operative when the Kaunas City extension of the St. Paul road is completed. It is stated by the Baltimore & Ohio people that the bridge over the Arthur kiil to Staten Island will be built as speedily as possible, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding. The plane for the bridge have been submitted to the Secretary of War. Vice-president Oakes, of the Northern Pacific railroad, says that when the accounts of the last fiscal year are made np, it will be found that the road has earned its fixed charges and a snrplus besides. The surplus, he thought, would be gomething over SIOO,OOO. J. F. O'Brien succeeds N. F. Wood as superintendent of the Mahontne division of the Nypano. !For some months past he has been general manager and agent for the receiver of the Lackawanna & Pittsburg, a narrow gauge Pennsylvania railway. He was formerly chief engineer And general superintendent of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road, and has been in active railroad service since 1860. Pending the decision of the Supreme Court of Ohio of the quo warranto suit to dispossess the the Blood directors from the management of the Cleveland & Canton railroad, the Corbin-Parlin party assert that the former are illegally issuing stock and giving notes of the company for the purchase of Boston Equipment, Boston Car Trust and Cleveland Terminal Transit companies. An injunction has been asked to restrain the Blood management from continuing this and to make the officials liable for all such Acts already performed, which Judge Pease has granted. According to the Corbin statements, the Blood faction has been making illegal, efforts to get and keep a majority of the stock of ihe road. A Wall-Street Wabash Scheme. It is just beginning to dawn upon the minds of some of the holders of bonds of the Chicago tflivision of the Wabash that the unseen influence which basso persistently urged them on in their endeavor to have a separate receiver appointed for the division is none other than the Wabash reorganization and purchasing commitfees. They are beginning to understand that a separate receiver would mean the ultimate separation of the division from the Wabash, which is exactly what is wanted by the unseen influence. The inside history of the scheme is about (his: The Chicago division extends from a point About five miles from Chicago to Effingham and Altamont, and from Strewn to Streator, and has A total mileage of 246 miles, with a bonded debt of $4,500,000. The Streator branch and the lice South of Bement, about ci> hundred miles in all, Jire not able to earn operating expenses, while he line from Bement to Chicago is a good paying property of itself, ae it is a part of the St. Dome & Chicago line of the Wabash, but all of its net earniogs and more, too, are required to make up the deficit of the lame portions. The dhole division could be thrown overboard, and anew road constructed between Bement and Chicago for about $2,500,000, and that is really all the mileage in that region that (he Wabash waDtß; besides, by getting rid of the Chicago division and building anew Chicago connection, the new Wabash company would Save interest on about $2,000,000. and be relieved o£ one hundred miles of lower line. Again, the 'northern terminus of the Chicago division, as an independent road, would be five miles south of Chicago, and everybody knows how difficult it is to effect an entrance into that city. The present terminal grounds and tracks used by the division, and they are very extensive and valuable, are owned by the Chisago & West Indiana company, which, in turn, is owned by the Wabash Company, not the Chicago division, and four other companies. Thns it will be seen nothing Would please the Wabash company better than to have the Chicago division taken away from the Wabash system. 1., B. & W. and C., S. & C. Speaktng of Receiver Henderson’s petition to Tae permitted to retire from the management of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland road, and make other arrangements for doing the Eastern business of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, the Boston Transcript says: ‘‘Receiver Henderson makes out a petty good case, it must be admitted, but* the one fact patent to those who have considered the matter at all is that the Indiana, Bloomington & Western went into the bargain with its eyes wide opeu, and it is cow suffering from its ovn lack of prudenee and foresight Its position amounts simply to this: We thought we would have a good thing when we made a lease, and now that we find by bitter experience that we have deluded ourselves, we want to back out. The Sandusky people, of course, have a legal right to exact the full terms of the lease, but it seems to us that under the circumstances it is useless to demand full pay meet. The Indiana, Bloomington & Western cannot pay, and the only result of a determination on the part of the Sandusky to make it do so would be alike unsatisfactory to both. Manifestly, the best interests of the Sandusky demand a compromise Half A loaf is better than no bread. If the policy of bolding oat for the last dollar of indebtedness is insisted upon and carried out, the Cincihnati, Sandusky & Cleveland will doubtless find itself in a much worse position than it is in now. Let it meet its lessor road half way, and there is little doubt but that an arrangement, satisfactory and equitable to both alike, can be made. Already steps are taking to bring this about, and there are not wanting Sandusky stockholders who have made up their minds that this is the policy of wisdom and sound business sense. Matters are so shaping themselves in this respect that there will, in all probability, be a spirited effort at the annual meeting, io October, to induce the management to conform to this view; failing which, intimations are already current that an attempt may be made to change the management _ Heading Refuses to Sign. The Reading railroad has refused peremptorily to sign the new traffic agreement between that company, the Balimore & Ohio and the Jersey Central. The officials of the former say (hey are not protected by it, and that they will therefore continue to withhold there signatures Unless a large Dumber of the provision.® are greatly modified. This will not, however, interfere with an interchange of traffic between the three companies, as the existing agreements between the Jersey Central and the Central and Reading, and the Reading and Baltimore & Ohio, are ample. Developing Southern Lines. This promises to be a great year for railroad extensions in the South as well as the North And West. The Richmond <& Danville will at once build its line to Knoxville from Warm Springs, N. C., and at Knoxville connect with the Louisville & Nashville. The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis is negotiating with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company •with a view to purchasing this company's railroad, of twenty miles, running from Cowan to ?r6y City. If this purchase be effected the

Tennessee company will devote its efforts to the mining of coal and the mAuutacture of pig-iron. It will also erect a third furnace at South Pittsbure of a capacity of 100 tons per day. Thte is the only branch road connecting with the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway that that company does not own. The company is also considering extending the Lebanon branch to Putnam county, there to connect with the Middle & East Tennessee road, making a direct line to Nashville. Bnllding Too Fast. The opinion exists among railroad men at present that the extreme West and the Northwest are on the borders of the same overbuilding of railroads which occurred iu the region between Pittsburg and Chicago ten or fifteen years ago. The new lines projected by roads running from Chicago involve an expenditure of $25,000,000. This would call for $1,500,000 of interest and make necessary an inereaseof $3,000,000 inWarnings to justify the additional buildings. “In fact/' said Mr. Ashley, the treasurer of the Wabash road, recently, “the roads west of Chicago will goon have to face the problems, which we have had to confront. We have seen the worst of it. It will be much smoother sailing from now on.” Superintendent Wood’s Successor. Cleveland, July 31.—Colonel Shaler, general superintendent of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railway, to-day issued a general order appointing the successor of N. F. Wood, late superintendent of the Mahoning division. Colonel Shaler expresses his regret at losing the services of Mr. Wood. J. F. O’Brien, his successor, will arrive in Cleveland this evening. For some months past he has been general manager and agent for the receiver of the Lackawanna & Pittsburg, a narrow-guage Pennsylvania railway. He was formerly chief engineer and general superintendent of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road, and has been in active railroad service since 1869, when he became assistant engineer of the Mobile & Montgomery railroad, in charge of the roadway department The Purchase of the Wabash. St. Lours, Aug. L—Edgar J. Wells, of the purchasing committee of the Wabash stock and bondholders, paid into the Third National Bank of this city, yesterday, as per order of the United States Circuit Court, the sum of $562,500, the balance of the money due ou their purchase. The Wabash property was sold at auction on the 26th of April last, to the committee, for the sum of $625,000, 10 per cent of which was paid in cash. The payment of the balance indicates that enough of the stock and bondholders have accepted the terms and provisions of the plan of reorganization to insure future harmony among them. It is believed that the company will be reorganized by scaling the interest of the senior bonds and funding certain unpaid coupons. ' Real Estate Transfers.

Harris’s executor’s addition to Mount Jackson 100.00 Conveyances, 7; consideration $12,775.00 THAT LOST MAIL POUCH. Belief that It Was Stolen Somewhere in Indiana or Illinois. New York World. Chief Inspector C. E. Dosser told a reporter yesterday that the only definite announcement he can yet makeconcerning the robbery referred to above is that the pouch has been traced outside of New York city, so that no suspicion rests on any of the employes in this city. “Its further progress can be readily traced,” continued the inspector, “for it was furnished with what is known as a ‘rotary lock.’ These locks are only rarely used, in pouches of exceptionally valuable contents, and then only on pouches passing between a very few of the most important postofflees in the country. This lock has a sort of combination projecting from it in which its number is displayed behind a glass front. There are no keys to these locks, except those in the few larger offices, and not a single key is in the hands of any of the postal clerks on the trains. Hence the lock could not be legitimately opened, and the instant it is tampered with, in any way, shape or fashion, the number in the combination changes. A record of the bags sent out is kept in this office, and hence, wherever the bag was receipted for it en easily be ascertained if its number was diff *r< nt and if it had been tampered with en route Thus we can trace just how*far it went without being tampered with. No one outside of the department had access to it, so that the robber or robbers must have been connected with the department. I have no positive information yet, thongh I expect to receive the result of the investigation within three days; but I think the pouch was stolen in Indiana or Illinois by some employe who is no longer connected with the service. Os course the contents are not known, nor are* they insured by the government, as no registered packages ever are or can be, since their value is totally unknown. The registration fee only insures greater precautions in the transmission. I understand that the greater part of the pouch’s contents were remittances from Europe to St. Louis business men. Hence the loss, if the bag and contents are not recovered, will fall on the St. Louis payees. The cultivation of olives is one of the undeveloped industries of California. There are but four orchards of any extent in the State, but an excellent quality of oil is produced. Though the olive-tree does not bear till it is from seven to ten years old, the fact that when it does begin to bear it continues for centuries, makes its cultivation highly profitable from the time of fruit ing. Trees are in bearing to-day in Syria whicl were planted before the Christian era. May Prove To Bea Godsend and a BlessingLast year Lieutenant Moxie and some friends accidentally discovered a harmless, tasteless plant in the South American province of Mateo Grosso, that had been generally used as a fodder. Some of the women there used it as ours do catnip tea. It had such a remarkable effect on some of the weakly members of the party they brought a large bale to the United Slates. It was tested by leading physicians, who find it the beßt nerve food yet discovered. It made nervous, exhausted people strong and hearty at once, without showing the least stimulating effect or reaction, and recovered a number of old cases of helpless paraiysi®, and even insanity, caused bv nervous exhaustion. But its most remarkable characteristic is, it takes away the appetite for liquor at once and completely. In Lowell, Mass., where it was first tested, hundreds of old drunkards have been cured by it, and they say it leaves a more solid, pleasurable effect on the nervous system, and no reaction. It is very popular with weakly, overworked people. who say they can endure twice their usual labor when taking it, with less fatigue. It brings sweet, refreshing sleep and a good appetite. Its reputation is spreading like wildfire. It stopped half the liquor trade in Lowell the first six months. The rum dealers at first fought it, but are now selling it, getting as good a profit as on liquor. The church and ciergy are advocating its use to fight the rum trade. One hundred and forty-six thousand bottles were used in Lowell the first six months, and they are still taking it worse than ever. It is cropping out here in the drug stores. It is called “Moxie Nerve Food.”
