AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. The C., 1., St L. & C. in the month of September handled the care of 140 foreign roads and tare of nineteeu fast-freight lines. Beit road engines in September handled 3,104 Car loads of lire stock. A decrease of 356 ears as compared with the number handled corresponding month last year. The (Monon) L , N. A. & C. has postponed Emtting on the new trains until the 15th, when here will be a number of changes in running ime of passenger trains. On several sections the Bee-line roadmasters •re doubling the force of their section men in Srder to get the road-bed in the best possible ondition for the coming inspection. Last month theC., 1., St. L. & C. averaged to toad and unload at the city freight depot sixtyhree cars per day, against an average of fiftyour in the corresponding month of last year. It is reported that the office of treasurer of the Pennsylvania railroad, made vacant by the Qeath of J. D. Taylor, will be tendered to John C. Sims, at present secretary of the company. W. S. Keenan, chief clerk of the general pasaonger and ticket department of the Michigan Central, has resigned his position, taking effect Oct. 1. He will be succeeded by G. O. Summers, & the Canadian Pacific. O. B. Skinner, late traffic manager of the Beeline, has accepted the position of transportation sgent5 gent for the oil Arm of Schofield, Sbumer & 'eagle, Cleveland, 0., and drops out of railroad Service, at least for the present. G. V. Heatbcote, secretary to George Olds, f eneral traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific ail wav, has been appointed assistant to the general manager of the Canadian Pacific Navigarc. Company, with headquarters at Victoria, Prospects are excellent that the coal traffic of the Indianapolis & Vincennes road will, when the |>lans for distribution of the coal are perfected, Beach 100 car-loads per day. Parties who have cold of the mines on that road are wide awake fellows and full of push. Trunk Line Pool Commissioner Fink has written to President Roberts, of tbe Pennsylvania failroad, expressing regret at Mr. Roberts’s dissatisfaction with the award of percentages, and Stating his belief that Mr. Roberts had not sufficient data to form a correct opinion. W. L. Benbara, late station agent of the Michigan Central at Detroit, goes to the Saginaw valley as traveling freight agent. His place will be filled by W. McMillan, late station agent at Detroit Junction, and F. D. Swan, station agent at fcalamazoo, takes Mr. McMillan’s place. A. V. H. Carpenter, general passenger agent ©f the Milwaukee & St. Paul road, announces that the proposed reduction on ail Northwestern roads to three cents per mile will take place Oct. 15. The through fare from St. Paul to Chicago |s fixed at $11.50 for unlimited first class; second SI ass, $9. C. H. Prior, formerly assistant general superintendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul goad, has been offered, it is stated, the position ts general manager of tbe Northern Pacific road. Ir. Prior is said to be a man of large executive ability and well posted in the details of successful railroading. The Indianapolis & Vincennes road, it is Stated, paid its fixed charges and operating expenses last month, for the first time since the Pennsylvania took hold of the property. As the road is entirely too heavily bonded for a goad of its character, the results of the month’s business must be gratifying to the management There were transferred over the Belt road in September 41.011 cars, against 43,875 in Septem lier, 1885, against 38.391 in 1884, against 32,181 n 1883, agAinsi 24,889 in 1882 and against 25,402 n 1881. The unfavorable exhibit this year as Compared with 1885 is due to the fact that for •ome days the heavy traffic of the C., 1., St L. e; 0. was moved over the Union tracks, as anew ridge was being placed in position over White tiver.

Speaking of the restlessness of the Pennsylvania, which to some extent has been ascribed {o its bargain with W. H. Vanderbilt in regard o the West Shore-South Pennsylvania deal, Chauncey M. Depew says: “Pennsylvania has iio cause of complaint The South Pennsylva--1 ila and Beech Creek roads are tied up by injuncjons, and we can do nothing until that litigaAon is settled. When the way is clear Mr. Vanlerbilt stands ready to carry out his engagements.” William F. Fox, train dispatcher of the InAianapoliß & Vincennes road, has tsndsred bis Resignation to accept tbe position of superinendent of telegraph on the Minneapolis & St ! Ltouis road, with headquarters at Minneapolis, timn. Mr. Fox has been on the I. &V. road a lumber of years, commencing when E. W. Mcfenna was superintendent of the road, and in Whatever position he has held he has done his Work acceptably and labored for the best interest of tbe company he represented, always being at his post of duty. George Daniels, commissioner of the passenger department of the Central Traffic Association, is receiving eomplimentary notice on the •Ability he has shown in straightening oat the tnarls of the general passenger agents. The ast meeting was a very harmonious one in its ©nding, and insures the formation of a gross taioney pool, taking in the roads which have been looked upon as rate-disturbing lines. The results of this meeting were disappointing to ticket scalpers, who never dreamed that a point would be reached when the Lake Erie & Western, the Ohio & Mississippi, the 1., B. & W. and roads of Ibis class would come into the passenger pool traces. It is stated that the officials of the Cleveland, (Sandusky & Cincinnati Railroad Company are Raid salaries and offiee expenses sufficient to pay a 1 per cent, per annum dividend on the capital Etook. The Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad lompany, which leases its property to the Pennsylvania Company, pays out only SI,OOO per anfium to keep the organization up. and it is a more important road than the C.. S. &C. The Cleveland, Mansfield & Newark Railroad Company, which leases its property to the Baltimore Ohio, pays out, it is stated, but $1,200 a year to keep its organization intact, and the question is asked, why should it be so expensive to keep the affairs of the C., S. & C., which is leased to (he 1., B. &W. Railroad Company, in working fcrder? The Express Warfare. Tbe war between the express companies is bocomieg daily more serious in its character, and the prospects for the express companies cannot be said to be promising of good in the future. It really looks as if it would end in each of the trnnk lines doing their own express business. The Cleveland Leader says it looks very tnuoh as if the express war, which has been sullenly and deeply waging for some time, would become one of extermination. All the trouble Ras been caused by the advent of the Erie Express Company, only a few months ago. The broad question which lies at the bottom of the difficulty is whether tbe express business of the Country shall bo conducted by companies inderendent of railway control or by companies übordinate to rairoad management, at least that is about the manner in which the various oxpress companies have ranged themselves in She contest. The Erie Express Company cut •he rate between New York and Cleveland, Which was $2 25 per 100 pounds, to 55 cents per 100 pounds, and on Thursday the American Express Company notified their patrons that rates would be made to them by that company ftt 55 cents between New York and Cleveland. The Erie on Thursday made an open rate of 55 cents between New York and Cleveland either !?ay to everybody. The rates by the various reight dispatch lines between Now York and Cleveland is 53 cents per hundred. The New York Central road is the largest holder of stock 'll the American Express Company, and the Pennsylvania the largest holder of stock of the Express Company. The Pennsylvania Extensions. J. N. McCullough, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Company, when in the city, a day or two ago, in answer to the remark that the Pennsylvania Company was reaching out in all directions, lengthening its lines and strengthening its •takes, said: “We are obliged to, for self-protec-tion. The company has reached a point that they must be constantly on the alert, or the other fellow will get there.” Ia commenting oa the

extensions the Pennsylvania people are making, the Financial Chronicle says: “There is no longer any doubt that the Pennsylvania railroad is on the eve of a great venture in the South, which will make the company as important in that locality as it is in the East or West. By building, buying and leasing lines it is probable that in the next ten years the Pennsylvania will reach every important city in tbe South, as it does now in the North and West. Until recently there have been no great railreay systems in tbe South, and there is none now in the Atlantic States south of Virginia and north of Georgia. The growing importance of the section demands better railroad facilities, and there is believed to be no field in the country more promising to the projectors of a great railroad system. If this is true it ia certainly proper for the great Pennsylvania to occupy the territory in deference to its future. At the present time the company has a line to Norfolk, to Quantico, a few miles bolow Washington, and it reaches all points in the South by connections rather than by lines of its own. When tbe great project is carried into effect the Pennsylvania railroad will recover any business it may have lost by tbe multiplication of trank lines. Preliminary surveys of railroads in various parts of tbe South are now bing made by Pennsylvania engineers. Southwestern Pool In Danger. Chicago, Oct I.—The Times to-morrow will say: “The Southwestern railway pool is threatened in a rather unexpected quarter. It is learned that the Milwaukee & St. Paul is shipping large quantities of freight to Kansas City, through Council Bluffs, and via the Union Pacific and the new route of the latter through Marysville. This was opened about a month ago, and gives the Union Pacific a fair through line between Omaha and Kansas City. Neither of the roads are parties to the Southwestern pool, and are at liberty to make 3uch rates as may be agreed upon between them without reference to the tariffs governing in the Southwestern pool. The Kansas City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs road was closed up to the Northwestern lines some time ago by a subsidy granted it from the pool lines, and the established arbitraries barred out all traffic from the Northwest which did not take pool charges. The new route is somewhat circuitous, but it is good enough for freieht purposes. Its main bearing will be upon the lumber traffic, which can get into Kansas through this gateway, and unless the usual remedy is applied the Southwestern lumber pool will be in considerable danger. It is believed, however, that the Union Pacific will listen to reason, accept a subsidy, and maintain pool rates. One Obstacle Removed. Chicago, Oct. I.—The managers of tbe Southwestern lines, at theinueeting to-day, succeeded in disposing of one of tbe chief oDstacles in the way of forming a passenger pool. This was accomplished by reaching a compromise on the business west of the Missouri river, the roads running beyond that boundary line agreeing not to pool business originating at local stations, but to enter into an agreement to maintain rates strictly, under a penalty of SSOO for every infraction of the contract The business between Chicago and St. Louis wa3 taken up at a night session, and satisfactorily disposed of. There are several minor points of disagreement yet to be considered. The meeting will probably bo prolonged into next week. Miscellaneous Notes. The Central Pacific has decided to build a branch to Santa Rosa. Work will be commenced at once. The interest and railroad dividends payable at Boston Oct. 1 amount to $7,272,000, against $7,000.000 a year ago.

The Michigan Central is talking of again paying dividends. It is three years since the road has paid a dividend. The Great Bend, Kan., extension of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road has been opened for business. The Missouri Pacific road announces the completion of the St Louis & Emporia railroad as far west as Colony, Kaa. Northern Pacific opens the Cascade division to the Ellenburg coal fields to-day, and expects to haul 500 to 1,000 cars of coal from that point daily. The rumors about a control of the Manitoba by the Canadian Pacific mean that the two roads are likely hereafter to be worked together for the; •: mutual benefit. Wm. Robinson went through the residence of Myrtle Davis, No. 164 West Market street, last evening and stole a pocket-boot containing $5. He was arrested. The freight earnines of the Michigan Central for the past five months show an increase of nearly $1,000,000 over last year, and the passenger traffic was never so good. The Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad Company will go on with the survey of its extension from Fort Smith to Arkansas City, Kan., but will do nothing further this year. The Atlantic & Pacific road will put on, in two weeks, a fast through freight train to the East, leaving Los Angeles every midnight, and running to Kansas City on passenger time. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company is now carrying 70 percent, of the through freight that crosses the continent, and a large and increasing nutnberof transcontinental passengers. The Minnesota & Northwestern is fast assuming prominence among the railroad systems of the Northwest, and a closer alliance between it and the Central lowa would make a very strong combination. Omaha merchants have decided to raise sl,000,000 for the purpose of building a road from Omaha to northwestern Nebraska. It is claimed that the Chicago roads discriminate against Omaha, and Omaha thinks it can protect itself by local competition. The Union Pacific Railway Company has accepted the reduced rates on grain recommended by the railroad commissioners. The new rates will go into effeot Oct. 1. S. R. Calloway presented the reduced rates to President Adams, who is now making a tour of the system, who ordered their immediate acceptance. TIIB CITY IN BRIEF. Mr. A. A. Parsons, of Danville, denies that his pockets were picked of S2O at the State fair on Wednesday. Mrs. J. H. Mueller, who so mysteriously left her home at the corner of Eighth and Alvord streets two weeks ago, returned yesterday morning. The city clerk’s report of monthly expenditures for the city shows that the September ex penses of the various departments amounted to $42 346.07. Rev. J. B. Baltzly and J. H. Ohr leave on Tuesday to attend the synod of the English Lutheran Church, which convenes at Jeffersontown, Ky., this year. Marriage license* were issued yesterday to George Greensweld and Phillipena Poor, Wm. Ossenforth and Sophia. Mehrling, Jackson Roberts and Jennie Comer. A valuable Irish setter dog, belonging to Horaoe Comstock, which took the first premium at the State fair last year, as well as this year, was run over by an express wagon yesterday morning and killed. Aurelia L. Matthews and Horace M. Hadley were yesterday appointed guardians, the first named for the minor heirs of James S. Hobart, and tbe second for the minor heirs of Franciß M. Abrams. Eben A. Parker was appointed administrator of Thomas J. Houser’s estate. The chief of police yesterday received a telegram from W. A. Hays, sheriff of Wichita, Kan., stating that S. P. Roach had died in that city, and claimed to hare a family here. There is no such name appearing in the city directory, and the police have been nnable to find any one claiming relationship with the deceased. The Case Against the Hanna Heirs. Judge Ayres has decided that the motion of defendants in the case of the Firet National Bank against the Hanna heirs to dismiss the complaint for want of jurisdiction is not good. The estate has been settled with the exception of this $1,400 claim. The plaintiff's prayer is for the appointment of a receiver, which will be done at the next term of court. Haj.ford Sauck ia capital for dyspeptics.
