AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The Central Traffic Association, passenger department. will meet in Chicago to-day. Wabash railroad earnings, fourth week in August, 1886, $399,000; same time in 1885, $358,000. It is said that the Pennsylvania's gross earnings for August will show an increase of about $600,000. J. H. Veltcli, traveling freight agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, is in the city prospecting for business. President McKeen. of the Vandalia, and his general officers to-day make an inspection trip over the T. t H. & L. division. There is no longer a question as to the C., 1., St L. & C. taking its position in 1887 as a 6 percent. -per-anuum-dividend-paying road. O. A. Tibbets. formerly master of transportation on the C., St L. & P., now on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, is in the city visiting oldtime friends. East-bound rates, at a number of junction points, such as Counersviile, Cambridge City and Muncie, were yesterday advanced one-half cent per 100 pounds. Mr. James Franklin, formerly of the Internal Revenue Department, has a responsible position in the office of Geueral Agent Latta, of the Pennsylvania railroad. Col. Joseph Hill, general superintendent, and N. K. Elliott, superintendent of transportation, of the Vandalia, were in the city yesterday looking matters over. Austin Corbin, president of thel.,B. & W., lias fully recovered his health, and has commenced straightening out the financial snarls which are troubling the company. George Blanchard, commissioner of the Central Traffic Association, spent the Sabbath with friends in Richmond, and yesterday stopped a couple of hours in Indianapolis, and then left for Chicago. The Switchmen’s Mutual Aid Association, of the United States, Indianapolis division. No. 21, announces its first grand ball at Lyra Hall Sept 29. A big timo is anticipated and a large attendance. H. B. Hammond, receiver of the 1., D. & S., is expected West this week. It is understood that while he is West some definite action will he taken regarding the extension of the road, certainly as far as Spriufield, 111. The Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley road is within a few weeks of completion. Philadelphia will have anew through line, and though it has been considered merely a ’‘feeder" to the Pennsylvania, untold possibilities lie along it The heavy freight engines the C., 1., St. L. & C recently received from the Schenectady locomotive works have been placed on the western division, and are doing excellent service, hauling thirty five loaded cars over this division on achedule time, with ease, up the sharpest grades. The mere talk that there has been a light frost In the North bgs caused the Southern passenger agents to come to the front. Herman Holmes, traveling passenger agent of the Louisville & Nashville, was in this section yesterday, spreading literature showing up the winter pleasure resorts reached by the L. & N. It will be gratifying news to the patient citizens of Palestine, on theC.,H. & I. road, to learn that the material with which to build a new depot, to cost $1,200, in the place of the depot burned nearly two years ago, has been contracted for—to be delivered atonee —it being the intention of the company to get the depot completed this fall. They tell a pleasing story of Sam Sloan, Lackawanna’s curious old president. The old man was once badly bothered by his general passenger agent with points which the pool people were considering. He stood it for a time, and then imnatientlv exclaimed, “Dim it, Holwill, if you bother me again about that plagued business I’ll take every train off the road!” It is now some two months since General Manager Waite and Superintendent Neiison have averi made a trip over the 0., H. & I. division of the C., H. &D. system. The neglect of this division is not that they do not highly value it. The secret is that the division officials handle the affairs of the company with so much ability that it does not call for the attention of the highest officials on the system.

Over the signature of A. A. Talmage, general •4nauaser of tha Wabash system, is being placed in the company’s coaches the following notice: *‘Passeugers s.re cautioned to beware of gamblers and swindlers who undertake to ply their vocation on our trains. If you notice any such, call the attention of conductors, who will cause them to be arrested or rut off the trains, in accordance with the law3 of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.” President Mcßea. of the Union Railway Company, will call the presidents and general managers of the roads composing the Union Railway Company together about the 15th, to confer about the new Union Depot. It is believed that by that time the property the company must have will be in their full control, and that the improvement can be put under contract without further deiay. The Vandalia people feel quite confident that the committee appointed to readjust the percentages in the east-bound pool out of St. Louis will increase the Vandalia’s. It is hardly expected that they will be increased to the percentage the road will earn if let loose from the pool tie. and at tariff rates, but General Freight Agent Hibbard feels that a half loaf added to their per cents, is better than no increase at all. In commenting on the unfavorable average of the L., N. A. & C. in pool earnings, an official States the average passenger rate is cut down by the large number of theatrical troupes this road has carried. While carried at agreed tariff rates, the fare is so much below the regular fare that it tells unfavorably in the pool reports, yet it Shows that the L., N. A. & C., is more than taming its alloted percentage in the pool when this class of traffic is included. The liberality with which the Wabash people tire improving the old Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago, under the direction of Trustee Scott, confirms the belief that the property between Indianapolis and Peru is to be continued under the control of the Wabash interest, whatever it may be. Some sixty miles of this track is in excellent Shape, probably never before as good as it is now •—all steel and thickly cross-tied, and is said to tide as smoothly as the best Western lines. The irrepressible Mr. Gowen claims that the decision of Judge McKinnon in the Philadelphia & Reading case brings him nearer the consummation of his plans than at any time since negotiations with the reconstruction trustees were begun. On the other hand, people identified with the Bullitt-Welsh syndicate say this ends Mr. Gowen’s case, and at the argument in Philadelphia on the first Monday in October there will S radically be no defense, and Reading will be orered to pay the defaulted general mortgage bonds within ninety days. Failing this, a decree of foreclosure and sale will be made. In the month of August 3,398 trains arrived and departed at the Union Depot Os this number 3,132 were regular trains, 21G camp-meeting train*. 20 special trains and 30 picnic or excursion tains. The train records show that in proportion to tho number of trains run the Beeline and I. &St L. were late in arriving the fewest times. The Vandalia comes next. The Big Four d:d not make as good a record as usual. Freight through the month was heavy, and passenger trains were delayed by two or three wrecks of freight trains where shippers, in their eagerness to beat the railroads, overloaded cars. On Saturday last an Indianapolis bouse shipped P barrel of whisky, three kegs and three demijohns to Modoc, on the 1., B. & W. road, to a party who proposed to open a saloon in that temperance town. Sunday night the depot was entered and the heads of the barrel and kegs were knocked out and the demijohns, with one exception, were broken. One demijohn seems to have been stolen. It is said the citizens are determined no saloon shall be opened in their burg. Receiver Henderson is In a dilemma. There Seems to be but one way for the company to make themselves whole (they have already been asked to pay for the liquor, which was sold fit sl6o)—that way is to arrest for burglary the parties who entered the depot. Notwithstanding the fact that a boy was killed last week when jumping on to a moving train, boys are hanging about the Union tracks by the dozen, and jump on and off of moving trains within ten f**et of where policemen are (Standing. 1 here is a law to put a atop to this reckless business, and if it could be enforced pod a few boys arrested and fined or imprisoned, trainmen would soon hate no trouble from this

matter. Only yesterday afternoon, but for the activity of one of the switchmen on the Union tracks, wh<f pulled a boy who had fallen, when attempting to board a train, from the track, he would have undoubtedly been killed. The trainmen stopped the train, supposing he was certainly crushed beneath the wheels. This matter should receive the attention at once of the police. New Railway Construction. The indications are that this contry is on the eve of entering into railway extensions and the construction of new roads to a mileage which will compare favorably with that of former years, and unless some unforeseen circumstances of a detrimental character arise, the construction of next year, when the scores of new projects are well under way, will reach well up to that of 1882, the most active year ever known, when 11,568 miles of new road were constructed. Within the last sixty days six Indiana railroad projects, which were shelved when the hard times came upon the country, have again come to the front, and several extensions of old roads are now being agitated. In Illinois the mania for building new roads is fully as marked as in Indiana, and when one looks further to the Southwest cr the Northwest it is found that never before were there so many railroad extensions under way, and never before were so many new roads talked of to develop new country which now has no railroad facilities. In commenting on the tendency to increase largely the railway mileage of this country, the Boston Advertiser says: “Occasionally the construction of new railroads in the United States exceeds the demand for them, as was the case in 1882; but the railway not only accommodates traffic already in existence—it also creates new traffic. It penetrates a wilderness, and transforms it into fertile farms and smiling villaees, and it carries enlightenment and the multiplied wants of a higher state of civilization into sections whose communion with the outer world had previously limited the requirements of its inhabitants to the simplest necessities of existence. It is not surprising, therefore, that, after the lapse of two or three vears of moderate railway construction like 1884 and 1885, the apparent excess of previous yoars has been offset, and a renewal of activity in railway building occuife once more. And the railroads not only develop new territory and afford highways for traffic ou the one hand, but they present opportunity for the investment of capital and the employment of labor upon tbe other. Despite all the many and varied criticisms of railway securities which are very properly made from time to time, the fact remains that when anew issue of bonds is to be put out, or 6tock issued for construction purposes by any well-managed railroad, the competition for the securities by bankers and investers is immediate and active. The total cost of the railroads and equipment in the United States to Dec. 31, 1885, had been $7,037,627,350." Troubles of the Central Traffic Association. Although the Central Traffic Association has decided to make no change in the present system of weighing live stock at Buffalo, the commission merchants there are still protesting, and have sent the following protest to Commissioner George R. Blanchard: “We, the undersigned commission merchants doing business at East Buffalo, protest against the manner of weighing stock from the West by the Central Traffic Association. Should this association weigh all stocks, at all points alike, we wonld not object to its being done at Buffalo, but until we have positive proof that this is the case at all other competing points, we protest and refuse to pay any excess.” The names of thirteen prominent commission merchants appear on the protest The Chicago Inter Ocean. in commenting on the protest, says: “The position of these merchants is not well taken, because cattle are weighed at Pittsburg and other points the same as at Buffalo. Shippers claim that freight shipped from Pern, Ind., for instance, to Buffalo, have to be weighed, while if they send them from Peru to Chicago and then to Buffalo, they will not be weighed. This is a mistake, for the freight will be weighed all the same at Buffalo, besides being charged extra the local rate from Peru to Chicago and keeping the cattle on the road so much longer. The great trouble with these shippers who are now protesting is that they want to get something for nothing; they want more than they are entitled to. Formerly the length of cattle cars was twenty-eight feet, but lately some cars have been introduced that are thirty-four feet long. Formerly the minimum weight was 20,000 pounds. Now the shippers are able to squeeze 30,000 pounds into the car, but do not want to pay for more than the old minimuA.”

Miscellaneous Notes. The Philadelphia Record says: “The troublesome Northern Pacific dividend scrip created by Mr. Villard's fertile brain falls due in sixteen months, and there is no possibility of paying it unless some new sort of security can be manufactured.” The Union Pacific Railway Company advertises for proposals, to be received up to Sept. 13, for the construction of 500 box cars. The policy of Genoral Manager Callaway in purchasing his supplies and equipments from bids called for by public advertisement has resulted very profitably to his company. The Baltimore & Ohio is about to contract with a Wilmington firm for tba building of two large steel steamers to carry freight and passengers between Stateu Island and the Battery. The contract calls for steamers that can run from the Battery to St George in seventeen minutes. It is proposed to have passeneers board the upper deck of the steamer direotly from the elevated road at South Ferry. The Northern Pacific railroad, it is stated, did not earn its fixed charges for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, if the statements which have been made recently by three entirely different parties who are possessed of inside information are true. The road showed a nominal surplus, however, by charging to construction items that would have gone into operating expeuses and fixed charges had it not been for tho building of the Cascade brauch. The general opinion is that Cyrus W. Field is seeking to recover his interest in the New York & New England corporation, in view of a possible connection with the New York & Danbury railroad. The latter concern is on paper and in a very promising condition for speculation. When it is constructed, if money is left to pay for operating, it will have a good field for local traffic; a field that good management can develop to paying proportions, though at the start it may be difficult to make both ends meet The Louisville, Evansville & St Louis Railroad Company are making good b®&dway in straightening out the financial snarls which have been a heavy incumbrance on the road and did much to prevent its proper development The company will issue two millions first mortgage gold bonds, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from Oct 1, 1886. principal and interest payable in Boston. One million of these bonds are for sale, for which, or any part thereof, proposals will be received by William T. Hart, chairman, at Continental National Bank, Boston, on or before Sept. 15. These bonds are secured by a mortgage on all the property of the railroad comnany cow held by it, and all that it may in future acquire. The Eleventh Indiana Regiment Reunion. A meeting of the survivors of the Eleventh Regiment, Indiana Volunteers, was held in room No. 5, Yohu’s Block, last evening, for the purpose of making arrangements for the annual reunion. Will C. David presided, and W. J. Kercheval acted as secretary. It was decided to hold the reunion on Oct 11, either at Golden Hill, the Exposition grounds or the armory. The reunion will differ from any held heretofore in that it will be in the nature of a basket picnic. Arrangement will be made for the entertainment of all visiting comrades, and members of the regiment expect to make it tho most enjoyable meeting they have ever had. There will be another meeting of the local members of the regiment, at the court-house, next Monday evening, for the purpose of determining on the place of meeting, and for the appointment of committees. A BOON to the afflicted is St Jacobs Oil, the conqueror of pain.

The city clerk reported ordq|| drawn on the treasury during tbe month of August amounting to $43,678.91. A communication was received from the city clerk, giving the receipts and disbursements of the city treasury for January, February, March, April, May and June, 1886. On Jan. 1 the books in the clerk’s office showed a balance in cash of the funds here given, when in reality they were exhausted by the deficiency of the former city treasurer. Total receipts by the city from Jan. 1 to July 1, 1886. $791.801.19. Balances Aug. 1: Sewer fund, $4,000; sinking fund, $9,328.50; additional City Hall fund. $19,129.89; general fund, $106,224.81; Tomlinson estate fund, $8,171.24. The building committee presented a communication setting forth the dissatisfaction that exists by reason of the failure to divide the market floor of the Tomlinson Hall building into stalls and passageways. It was recommended that the matter be referred to the market committees of the Board and Council. The recommendation was adopted. Hiram W. Miller presented a report of receipts and disbursements on account of the city during August, showing that the receipts amounted, to $156,158.63, and the disbursements to $119,422.62, leaving a balance of $36,736.01. The committee on light reported in favor of contracting for ninety vapor lamps, which will add an expense of over SI,BOO to the city. The report was adopted, Messrs. McClelland, Swain and Thalman voting in the negative. Mr. Cummings gave notice that he would move a reconsideration at the next regular meeting. The committee on sewers reported against the construction of a brick sower in and along Ray and Rockwood streets to the river. They recommend that an ordinance be prepared to provide for the construction of a fifteen-inch pipe sewer from Ray street and Pogue’s run to the river, which was adopted. The special committee to which was referred the charges against the Board of Health, reported that they had found 11) that the board is censurable for not having adopted and spread on record in its office rules and regulations governing the board, its officers and assistants in the discharge of their duties; (2) in not having enforced the ordinances of the city and statutes of the State respecting the sale of bad and unwholesome meat and oleomargarine; (3) that inferior meat and uniabeled oleomargarine had been sold in large quantities on the East market up to within three months; (4) that the sanitary condition of the East market has greatly improved during the past three months and is now in fair condition. The report was signed by C. 8. Denny, Thomas E. Endly, Isaac King, John R. Pearson and Wm. L. Taylor. The petition for the construction of a stone wall in Pogue’s run, between Catharine and McCarty streets, was referred to the board of improvements. city attorney and civil engineer. The city engineer’s estimate of the cost of the work was $2,665. Ordinances were introduced for grading and graveling a number of alleys; for improving the roadway of Market street from Pine to Harvey; west sidewalk of Dorman street, from North to St. Clair, and Michigan to St. Clair; north sidewalk of Woodlawn avenue, from Spruce to Reid; north side of Georgia street, from Mississippi to Missouri; Delaware street, from Seventh to Eighth, and from Eighth to the second alley north thereof. The rules were suspended and the ordinance introduced by Mr. Thalman, making a general tax levy for the year 1886 upon the taxable property within the limits of the city, was passed. Two ordinances were introduced amending the Union Railway Company’s ordinance providing for the vacation of certain streets, f<fr the erection of anew Union Depot. The original ordinance provided for a viaduct of fifty feet over Meridian street. The amendment cuts it down to thirty feet. The company proposes to pay $15,000 into the treasury for the Illinois street improvement, the work to begin when the citizens who have subscribed have paid in a like amount. In case the subscriptions are not paid the company is not to be held for more than its subscription. The ordinances passed upder a suspension of the rules. Mr. Rooker introduced a resolution that the city buy four pieces of ground to be used for impounding stock, which was adopted.
