AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Pmontl and Local. General Manager McLaughlin, of the Globe fast-freight line, was in the city yesterday, prospecting. The 1., D. &S. road earned the first week in October $10,166.36, an increase over earnings corresponding week 1885 of $2,278.22. The B. & O. Kankakee Dispatch yesterday Commenced to take New York business. For the present the line is limited to package freight Any shipper can compute what he pays per ton per mile by dividing the amount of bis freight bill, first by the number of tons hauled, and that by the distance. Indiana, Bloomington & Western advanced three points on a report that the Boston interest in Cincinnati, Sandnsky & Cleveland was disposed to agree to a compromise. TheC., 1.. St L. & C. averaged to handle on their svstem last week 1,080 loaded cars per day. But a'few years ago 700 cars per day was thought to be big work on this road. Anew scalping office is to be opened on South Illinois street, making five at this point, without including the outside local offices, which often cat deeper than a scalper dares to. The district passenger agents are again hunting the woods for business; since the Ist of the month it has dropped sharply. This is the result of too much low-rate excursion business. The L, P. & C. management are arranging to Increase their side-track capacity at this point, ftnd will put in a mile or more of side-track at the point where they connect with the Belt road. William H. McDoel. general freight agent of the L., N. A. &C., spent yesterday in the city taking business soundings. He says the great trouble with that road is to get cars to handle the traffic offered. George R. Blanchard, commissioner of the Central Traffic Association, was in the city yesterday and last evening, and had a lengthy conference with several of the prominent railroad men who were in the city. John Egan, general passenger agent of the C., 1.. St L. & C., was in the city yesterday on Official business. Mr. Egan feels good over the handsome earnings the passenger department of the Big Four is now showing. General Corse, who has been aopointed postmaster at Boston, was one of the party that •ngineered the “poor old” narrow-ganee Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road through, from which gchetne he is said to have made big money. F. C. Doran, of Richmond, Ind., was yesterday appointed chief engineer of the Union railway company. He will have entire charge of the erection of the new Union Depot, and is said to be a man well fitted for the position. The daughter of A. M. Stimson, general agent of the C., 1., St. L. & C., with headquarters at Dafayette, will be married this evening to W. 3d. Simpson, of that city. M. E Ingalls, president of the C., 1., St. L.*dc C., and wife will attend the wedding. With the taking effect of the winter timetable the Pennsylvania lines and the Vandalia will put on through sleeping-coaches between St. Louis and Washington, D. C. Going east the train will pass Indianapolis about 4:30 A. m. ; going west at 10 p. m. President Depew, of the New York Central, is Said to have remarked to President Bliss, of the Boston & Albany, that the New York and New England consolidation could not be carried hrough unless he was prepared to buy up the regislatures of four States. Prank Newby, who, with Mr. Jordan, has represented the Bee-line for some months, on {South Illinois street, will retire So engaee in farming. Mr. Jordan will take a position in the new scalping office to be opened by Williams & Smith, on South Illinois street. Some of the roads are coming to their senses, mid have decided that one outside office at this point is enough for all the business that is scoured through outside offices, and the C.. 1., St. li. & C. will, next week, close their office on South Illinois street, and the Bee-line, on the 15th of the month, will close their outside office Jn South Illinois street The Indianapolis & Vincennes road last week did the heaviest freight business done in any week in the history of the road. There seems to be no longer any question that the mad has passed its darkest days and will this year pay its operating expenses and fixed charges notwithstanding the enormous bonded debt which, for a road of its character, it is obliged to carry. The Railroad Gazette gives a full description find drawings of the new Class R locomotive, being put in use by the Pennsylvania Company. A table of comparative dimensions, weight, etc., ©f the classes I and R locomotives is given, which Will be of interest to engineers and firemen of the Panhandle system, as it is likely that some •f the new locomotives will find their way out here before long. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul has thrown a bomb into the camp of the traveling passenger agents by dropping, as an economical stroke, four of the number. It is intimated that Other roads have in contemplation dropping gome of their traveling agents. So far the C., M. & St. P. have dropped their general traveling ©gent and district passenger agents at San Francisco, Louisville and New York. The Vandaiia and 0., 1., St. L. & C., on Sunday next, put on solid trains between St. Louis and Cincinnati. The run between the two points ©ach wav will bn made in ten hours. This plan of running through trains solid has been under contemplation for some time, bnt never material tzed until last evening, when Colonel Hill. N. K. Elliott, of the Vandalia, and J. W. Sherwood, of the C., I, St. L. & C., arranged the time-table. All the car works in Indiana are now busy, and have contracts to furnish them with work three to six months. President Milliard, of the Indianapolis car works, thinks he will not be obliged to shut down again for want of work the next twelve months. Within the next ten days he will increase his force to some five hundred men. All the works are troubled to get merchant bar-iron, which seems to be scarce in All markets. The Terre Haute Gazette says: ‘‘The Vandalia has four work trains on the road at present, gll of which are kept busy. Oue is on the west •nd between Marshall and Parrineton filling up 6 trestle work, and three are on the Logan division near Rockville. The work on the Rockville grade is being pushed as rapidly as possible in order to finish up before cold weather sets in. It is thought that trains will be running over the Dew track within thirtv days.” This month the L., N. A. & C.. with its roundabout eastern line, is carrying2o per cent, of the •ast-bound business out of Indianapolis proper. Os course this amounts to but few cars, as all the oast-bound freights are getting around the Indianapolis pool by billing as coming from points beyond, no matter if it has laid in elevators at this point for several months. If the present method of doing bnsiness is to be continued, it ■would be just as well to close the pool office at this point. The Jeffersonville car works are building, two hundred box cars for the Louisville, Evansville A St. Louis road. This company is spending considerable money in strengthening their bridges and trestles, and, among other improvements. will build an iron bridge over the Wabash river at Mt. Carmel. It ie said there are but one or two roads in the country that have more bride* and trestle work to look after. Certainly there is not in Indiana, as the road is boilt through the roughest portion of the State. The present fixed charges of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield road are $156,000 per ancum, while tho*e well posted regarding the earning capacity of the road, good or bad crops, <*ay the road will nay its operating expenses and fixed charges of $125,000. This makes the remark regarding the reducing of the interest on tne bonded debt, as suggested by M. E. Ingalls, the more pertinent The time is past when roads of the character of the I , D & S. can pay 7 per cent, per annum interest on its bonded debt, be it light or heavy in proportion to its mileage. That the tendency of the railroads of New England is toward consolidation cannot he doubted; and the opinion has been many times expressed in this column that the future would witness great changes in the railroad map of New England and a marked diminution of the Dumber of railway organizations. Just now two great railroad consolidations are ninch talked about and one of them is not improbable. The more probable is the practical consolidation Os the Boston and Maine A Eastern, including a lease of the Boston & Lowell upon a guaranty of fi percent., and also upon its preeeut terms the

Massachusetts Central, and a western connection through the tunnel. The other project is, of course, the disposal of the New York and New England, which the railroad presidents were last week considering at New York. President Watrous’* willingness to have the Boston & Albany consolidate with the New England road is almost as touching as that of Artemus Ward to see his wife’s relations go to the front. A Pennsylvania official high in authority says the Pennsylvania Company has not yet secured control of the Richmond division of the C., H. & D. system, ttiat the Pennsylvania Company will buiid to Hamilton, in fact, have already let the contract to build five miles, starting from Red Bank. He added, that “if on reaching that point the relations are thp same as now between the two companies we shall push on to Richmond, Ind.” The Boston Advertiser says: The refnsal of President John S. Farlow to afford his fellowdirector. Mr. Corbin’s brother in-law, access to the stocK list of the Sandusky railroad is being used by the shrewd Corbin people as a lever to to create public sentiment in their favor. But it will not work. Mr. Farlow will probably be compelled to exhibit his stock list to Mr. Childs, and the sentiment of this community in regard to the 1., B. & W.’s attitude toward the Sandusky will continue as hostile as ever. The 1., B. & W. people should never complain of anybody's refusal to give information. I understand that a leadine broker in this city, who had been employed by them to solicit proxies, very properly refused to serve further as tht-ir agent in the matter, because they would afford him to information to lay before his customers as to the merits of the contest. The refusal of the 1., B. & W. to give the Sandusky access to the books of the former company involving the details of the latter’s business as lessee, is well known. The Bee-line enters October grandly. The earnings the first week, it is said, will be among those of the largest in the history of the road. How rates were slaughtered when the White Line was rnnnine the freight aepartment, instead of the general freight agent and the assistant general freight agent, is made strikingly apparent in the earnines, which, on 70 percent, of last year’s tonnage, are now double those of last year. Any road which allows line managers or their agents over the country to make rates makes a sad mistake. Official reports have not yet been received, but estimates show that the Bee-line system, during September, 1886, earned ao increase of at leaßt SIOO,OOO over the earnings for the same month last year. This continued increase of earnings will be accepted as something of a surprise, inasmuch as earnings for September last year showed important gains over the previous months of the year. In fact, the net earning* for Seotember last year were the largest made during anv one month in the year. This September statement, then, showing an increase of SIOO,OOO over tne same month last year, is an exceedingly gratifying one. The Pennsylvania Inspection. The inspection party of the Pennsylvania lines left Cincinnati yesterday, coming north over the Little Miami, then west over the C., St. L. & P., reaching Indianapolis about 3 p. M. An hour was spent looking over the shops and yards, which are among the finest in the country. The party then ran on to the city and took up quarters at the Denison House, where an excellent dinner was served at 6:30 p. M. The evening was spent in examining the plans for the new Union Depot, the architect explaining the plans and specifications attending the improvement This morning at 8:30 a. m. the party start west over the Vandalia, accompanied by President McKeen, General Superintendent Hill and N. K Elliott, superintendent of transportation. On reaching St. Louis the party will spend Wednesday there, and then, in company with Jay Gouid and his son, will make a run to Omaha over the Missouri Pacific. From Omaha they eo to St. Paul, then to Chicago, then east over the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago to a point on the Grand Rapids svstem, which they will thoroughly inspect. President Roberts spoke in the most complimentary terms of the condition the inspection party found the lines west of Pittsburg, while Vice-president McCullough said he never felt prouder of the lines west of Pittsburg than on this trio. He said over the Little Miami they ran sixty miles per hour, and over the C., Sr. L. & P. as fast as the locomotive could roll its wheels. Mr. McCnlloueh expressed himself as more than, satisfied with the manner General Superintendent Miller and his assistant superintendents were handling the Western lines, and other officials of the parent line east of Pittsburg expressed themselves as more than pleased with the thrifty growth of their children west of that point.

The place of general manager of the Ohio & Mississippi will be offered to Captain Peabody, the present president, but he baa other offers as good, and may not accept it. Freight Illockade at Pittsburg. Pittsburo, Pa.. Oct 11.—The freight traffic to the West, on the Pennsylvania, the Panhandle, the Fort Wayne, and the Baltimore & Ohio roads, has increased to such an extent within the last few days that it has caused a blockade. The yards are full of loaded cars waiting to be moved. Tnis the companies are unable to do, owing to the scarcity of locomotives. a condition of affairs that is airuost unprecedented in local railroad history. The officials state the blockade will be relieved to-day. Deserving of Confidence. There is no article which so richly deserves the entire confidence of the community as Brown's Bronchial Troches. Those suffering from asthmatic and bronchial diseases, coughs and colds, should try them. Price 25 ooa'<j.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, OCTOBEB 12, 1886.

COT’B MAX APPOINTED. R. M. Boone, Lieuteiant of the Little Boss, Made Saperiutendent of the Work-House. Yesterday afternoon Sim Coy insisted on having a work-house superintendent appointed. He came into the County Commissioners’ office about 2:30 o’clock, stopping on his way through the auditor’s rooms to le&ru how many inspectors had qualified. Relieving bis mind of this weighty care, he took a bee-line for County Attorney Spencer. Leaning over the attorney’s table, Simeon’s square form, as seen in the distance, suggested the importance of the consummation, for Simeon, when fulfilling the duties of a patriot, never .talks louder than a whisper, with bis mouth about two inches from the ear of his listener. Spencer, at the proper periods, nodded bis head, and at the close of the conversation the little boss passed over to Commissioner Sahra. There were signs of Sahm protesting, but within ten minutes R. M. Boone, a barkeeper in Steve Mattler’s saloon, and the choice of Simeon Coy. was elected workhouse superintendent Mr. Boone will continue in the saloon business until Saturday night, and on Mondav take charge of the work house. Perhaps Coy wanted to tell Sahm that Boone would consent to a reduction of SIOO in salary, which was ordered. This is another trick of the young commissioner to shape an economical record. Sahra and Coy also ordered that the offices of assistant superintendent and matron should be abolished. They appointed Andrew J. Stephens captain of the guard at the work-house; Mr. Stephens presented a petition signed by Democrats well known in politics as favorites of the little boss. The appointed officers were not limited to any term of service. The proceedings hf.ve the appearance of a temporary arrangement, and it is expected that after the election the assistant superintendent and matron will be restored, together with the SIOO takeD from Boone’s salary. Having arranged this little business to his satisfaction, Coy went out to take another look at the list of inspectors, and the Commissioners adjourned. Captain Clinton, the Republican Commissioner, voted for John Lang, the jail turnkey, for superintendent and for Assistant Superintendent Reed for captain of the guard, but the Democratic majority, with Sim Coy thrown iu, was too much for him. AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE— * , THE LITTLE TYCOON.” A fine audience, thoroughly pleased, filed out of the Grand Opera-house at 10:45 last night, after having witnessed one of the prettiest and sprightliest comic operas ever put on the American stage. “The Little Tycoon” is a credit to its author and to this country, for Mr. Spenser is an American, and bad the good sense to lay the plot this opera in America. While it is lively from the start, and is full of pleasing surprises, there is nothing iu it from beginning to end that any one could possibly take exception to, while laughter and applause are the rule throughout. The company gotten together by Mr. Taylor is an excellent one, well selected, competent and well balanced. Mr. R. E. Graham, who took the part of General Knickerbocker, is a prime favorite, and was roundly and repeatedly applauded, especially in his topical songs “When I Was a Boy,” “You Cawn’t Do It, You Know" and “Once Was Enough for Him.” In each of these he was recalled till he good naturedly declared he could sing no more. In all he did he was full of animation and made decided bits at every turn. Miss Louise Paullin, who made such a pleasing impression here ns “Nanon." with Carleton’s fine company, was charming as ever, and as the Little Tycoon and Violet won her meed of appreciation. Miss Lina John, as Dolly Dimple, was very pretty and clever, singing her part with great art. Miss Elraa Delaro, as Miss Hurricane, provoked much merriment, and rendered her part in the best manner possible. Mr. Will & Rising, as the Great Tycoon, and Mr. R. N. Dunbar, as bis interpreter and faithful Achates in general, were as good as could be asked. Mr. Ed Van Vegnten, as Lord Dolphin, hadn’t much to do, but did that little well. In fact, all did well, and there was nothing to criticise! As for the opera itself, it is impossible to give any adequate idea of it, and it will have to be seen to be appreciated. It will not do to miss it, and the house should he. and doubtless will be, filled at every presentation of “The Little Tycoon” in this city. It savors the least bit of the “Mikado” m places, but not enough to be more than the hint of it, so that it is not marred. Indeed. in most respects this opera is superior to that production of Gilbert and Sullivan. The scenery and costuming are beautiful, and the presentation of “The Little Tycoon” is an artistic triumph in ever* resppet. It will be given aeain.to-night, to-morrow afternoon aud to-mor-row night. THE MUSEUM—“LOST IN LONDON.” ‘‘Lost in London,” which is the current attraction at the Dime Museum, drew the customary large audiences yesterday. It is a drama of strong And well sustained interest, put upon the stage with new Bcenery throughout, all well painted, and some of it exceedingly realistic and striking, the “Heart of Blackmoor,” “Streets of London” and “Job’s Vision,” the latter particularly, being scenes decidedly of artistic excellence and effectiveness. Mr. Newton Beers, who assumes the leadine part in the drama, Job Arinovd, is a young actor of force and intelligence, and presents it very carefully and naturally. Miss Ray Briscoe made a favorable impression in tne opposite part, and Mr. Georee llareschide, Mr. Edward Lee, a clever comedian, Miss Phoebe Don and Miss Billee Wilson gave the other leading parts capable presentation. Incidentally, the specialties of the Pan-pipe singers and L. M Rich, and the songs of Miss Kate Rornaine, were introduced, with good effect The audience last night packed the theater. The play will be repeated every afternoon aud evening this week. NOTES. Gua Williams and company are playing through Indiana. They are at Lafayette tonight. Peru the 18th and B'ort Wayne the 19th. Their business has been uniformly good. Robert B. Mantell, who is to bo seen at English's the latter part of this week, is a favorite wherever he has appeared, and bis now play, “Tangled Lives,” is said to be admirably suited to hia peculiar capabilities, telling a story of strong interest in an original and forcible way. The advanced sale of seats will begin to-day.

A Feast for Railroad Men. The railroad officials who are inspecting the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg reached the city last evening, and registered at the Denison House. The following Dersons compose the party: G. L. Roberts, president; J. N. Du Barry, John P. Green, vice-presidents; N. P. Shortridge, Henry D. Welsh, John Price Wetherill, directors; Thomas Williams, of the Pennsylvania Company, Philadelphia; J. N. McCullough. William Thaw, Thomas D Messier, vicepresidents; James McCrea, general manager; J.

Gray, general manager of the Union line, and E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and the Vandalia road. At 6:30 o’clock last evening the party sat down to one of the most elegant dinners ever given iu this city. Besides the persons named, President McKeen, of the Vandalia; H. W. Hibbard, general freight agent; Colonel Hill, superintendent, and N. K. Elliott, superintendent of transportation of the Vandalia, were guests. Iu the center of the table was a floral design of a tram of cars, headed by a locomotive quite complete iu ite appearance, the whole standing on a etone-ballasted track, and about to run into a tunnel The manager of the hotel had prepared twenty-two courses, but when tho eighteenth wm reached some of the more prudsat guest*

began to draw back from the table. The feast was prepared under the direction of caterer S. G. Furlong, who bad been instructed to spare no expense in his work. AUDITOR WILLIAMS’S DISCOVERY. State Officers Say There Is No Way of Proving the Alleged War Claim Frauds. Governor Gray yesterday received from John S. Williams, Third Auditor of the Treasury, a circular letter calling his attention to matters in relation to the condition of the Indiana records in his office. The points of the letter were given to the public yesterday morning in a press dispatch from Washington. State Auditor Rice said yesterday that be bad not seen the report of Mr. Williams, but, when it was turned over to him, he would attempt to look into the matter. He knew that there was a dispute in regard to the war claims, and he thought it was likely there was not much regularity about the records embracing tho dates of payment It was not unlikely that, in the great volume of business done between the State and general government at that time, that errors would creep in. The record of the settlement of such claims, he was of the opinion, was not in his office, and as the officials in tbe transaction are all dead, the correct record could probably not be made up. Attorney-general Hord said that at the present time the State had claims against the general government for nearly $500,000, many of them war claims. Among all the State officials it was the opinion that there is no way of proving whether or not the statements in the letter of Mr. Williams are true. THE RECORD OF THE COURTS. Superior Court.

Commended for Condemning Defective Work. Dr. C. N. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board of Health, has returned from Toronto, Canada, where he went to attend the meeting of the International Health Association. He submitted to that body seven interrogatories, covering the disputed questions in relation to the sanitary defects in the plumbing of the new Statehouse building, and „ the matter was referred for consideration to a committee of three, composed of E. C. Jordan, C. E., of Maine; Win. Caniff, M. D.,of Ontario, and G. B. Thornton, M. D., of Tennessee. The committee presented a report of considerable length, fully sustaining on ail questions the position of the Indiana State Board of Health in condemning thejystem, aqd concluded as follows: “We. commend the action of the State Board of Health of Indiana in its endeavors to bring about n correction of the errors so manifest in the principles that appear to have guided the plumbing of their new State-house, and upon its insistanen that the plumbing of its State buildings should always conform to and keep pace with the advances made in sanitary plumbing.” The committee’s report wa3 unanimously adopted.

Pardoned by the Governor. Governor Gray yesterday pardoned Andrew J. Humphreys, of Vigo county, who was sentenced to the southern penitentiary for two years on Jan. 14, 1885. He was a physician in Terre Haute and had an account against Leander Carruthers, who refused to pay the bill and threatened to shoot Humphreys on sight. They one day met and both drew revolvers, but Humphreys got the first shot, and killed Carruthers. He was indicted for manslaughter and sentenced for the term of two years, which would expire oe Thursday. He asked a pardon, feeling that it would exonerate him. The Governor also pardoned Walter C. Binton, who was sentenced for five years from Morgan county in September, 1883, for burglary and larceny, on the affidavit, of the prison physician that he was dying with consumption, and a letter from his father saying he desired to take the young man to .his home In Estelle county, Tennessee, to die. Horses Seized for Trespass. Wm. Blue, on a claim that the animals were trespassioe, seized the other df.y six horses ’and m3res belonging to Orlanda S. Hoover. The owner demanded possession, and Blue refused, claiming that several hundred dollars in damages had been done to his property. Hoover offered to pay $5, but as this did not satisfy the demand, suit in replevin was filed yesterday. Hoover alleges that no trespass occurred, as the land was not fenced. He wants the animals, or judgment for S6OO. Went Out on the Street to Die. Peter Myers and his wife, Alice, who reside at No. 29 Deloss street, were found on Virginia avenue last evening in what was supposed to be an intoxicated condition, and were taken to the station-house, where Mrs. Myers soon showed symptoms of poisoning, and before a physician arrived came near dying. It developed that she had taken five grains of morphine with suicidal intent, and had gone out on the street to die. The stomach pump was applied and she was soon out of danger. Failed to Get a Quorum. The township trustees came in yesterday to qualify as election inspectors, and as they had received some time before a communication from the county superintendent to meet with him, they tried to get a quorum for that purpose. Only five responded, and tho superintendent being absent, it was decided to postpone the meeting until Dext month. The superintendent wants to talk to them about teachers’ licenses and rules for graduation and examinations. Officers of the Mendelssohn Society. At tho meeting of the Mendelssohn Society, last night, the following officers were elected: President—A. T. Allen. Vice-president—D. A. Richardson. Director—Ora Pearson. Secretary—Mr. Thomas. Mr. Allen was formerly * prominent member of the Ariou Club, of Chicago, and is considered an acquisition by the Mendelssohn. A Young Wife Deserted. James Arnold, of Mount Jackson, was married less than one year ago to a young lady in West Indianapolis. Last Friday be left home, saying he was coming to the city on business, and the next day his wife received a letter from him stating that he had gone to Chicago and would not return.
