AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. • ,^i Personal and Local. L C. Morris, who represents the L, B. & W. At Buffalo, N. Y., is in the city. J. A. Perkins, who represent* the Union and Green lines at Milwaukee, is in the city. C. W. Fairbanks has pone East on matters connected with the Cleveland & Canton road. V. T. Malott is in New York looking after matters connected witn the coming sale of the Inuianapolis, Pern & Chicago road. To-day the Woodruff sleeping-coaches between Chicago and Louisville, over the C., J*t L. & Pnd J., M. & ]., come off, and elegant Pullman ears take their place. John R. Elder, president of the Shell Beach Jroad, returned yesterday from New Orleans. He Reports everything regarding the extension of this road as moving along smoothly. As predicted that it would by the friends of the C., C., C. & L road (Beedine;, the stock on Nov. 1 was the upper side of <O. reaching yesterday 71 £-- the highest value in the last three years. . In the month of October 23.406.6G2 pounds of freight were handled at the city freight depots pf the Pennsylvania Company, or 2,661 carloads of freight, some 300 more car-loads than in October, 1835. George W. Boyd, assistant general passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, and a number of his friends, passed through the city yesterday, en route for Illinois for a two-weoks hunt. The directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company held a special meeting yesterday and declared a semi-annual dividend of 21 per cent, ppon the capital stock of the company out of the profits, and payable in cash. In the month of September seven locomotive engineers were killed on the roads in the United States, and five firemen. Usually a larger number of firemen than engineers axe killed, but this month was an exception. The fact that the officers and friends of theL., N- A. & C., who came West, a few days ago, to Inspect the property, on their return to New York are large buyer* of the stock, shows that fbey have great faith in the future of the road. The hotel cars, six in number, which have keen for the last twelve years running between St. Louis and New York, over the Vandaliaand Pennsylvania lines, have been taken off, and elegant buffet cars substituted, the first coming East last night. . Mr. Albert Trego has been appointed special agent of the B. & O. Express Company at Philadelphia, Pa. Mr. Trego has made an enviable Jecord in the passenger department of the B. & ©., and will, without a doubt, make a name for himself in his new field. Official notice of the changes on tne L., N. A. & C.. as published in the Journal last week, have been sent out. Without doubt Mr. McDoel will make a very able traffic manager, and Mr. JlcCormick will seo thnt the passenger department does its part toward swelling the earnings ©f the road.

The Boston Journal says: “The reason that stocks of New England roads generally sell higher than Western roads paying the same amount of dividend, is not alone that they are home roads, and more under the eye of their Stockholders, but that the dividend is paid, free tax on the shares.” The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is building three new trains entire, to run as limited trains between New York and Chicago in place of tho present equipments, which are now among the best run in this country. It is proposed to jnake the new trains the handsomost and most perfect coaches in every particular in the world. Under the revision of the by-laws of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers the $3,000 life ©nd accident policies are divided into two policies •f $1 ,500 each, the assessments to be 50 cents for ©aoh detfth on a policy of $1,500. Another clause limits the age in taking risks to fortv-fivo years, ©rid only to members. The change will go into ©ffeci May 1. 1887. The Philadelphia Record says: “It is not believed that the Reading organization scheme wwill bo published before the Corbin-Scully crowd has loaded up with what securities it wants.” This gives color to the assertion that ia due time links will be. built which will connect the J?. & R. with the 1., B. & W., and make the latter a more valuable property. The general passenger agents interested in the roads which carry the Florida travel are to hold a meeting at Chicago, on Thursday, to confer as regards a reduction in passenger rates. As the matter now stand, the rates are so low to the Pacific coaßt that both .health and pleasure seekers are going in that direction. This Jfaeeting is called to see what can be done to ©heck the stampede. The New York Star congratulates General Bain and the people of New York that he has had the courage to resist the very tempting offer tnado to him by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company. Under General Hain’s able ftnd efficient, management the elevated railroad f? stem of New York has been made what it ©ever was until he took charge, a paying, safe, Cheap, convenient and comfortable conduit between home and work, for rich and poor alike. The roads which have swelled their per cents. In the east-bound pool by shading rates will have ©n opportunity to pay over money to the rate©Baintaining lines. The Bee-line on the last two ki on tbs' business will receive some $6,000 to even Up per cents. The last few days, since rates have been better maintained, the' Bee line has been ©arniug its percentage in the pool. Thel.,B. & W. , as well, is holding its own in its pool percentage. The handsome increase in travel the last ten days of October did much toward overcoming the deficit in earnings of this department in the early part of the month, and, after all, the earnings of the passenger departments of Indianapolis roads last month will compare favorably with those of October, 1885. In fact, some roads have (1 one better this year. At the Bee line up town ftffice the receipts Lorn sales of tickets were considerably in excess of those in October, 1885. Considerable interest is taken in the future of the Toledo, Peoria & Western roa<l, known in lailroad circles as the “tired, poor and worn-out Tf> ad.” It is believed that the present owners trill ent<s into some arrangement to work with the Pennsylvania interest, or with the C., 1., St. JL. & (J. To either it would be a valuable feeder, but in connection with the C., 1., St. L. &C. the TANARUS., P. & W. would likely reap the most benefit. as the C., 7., St. L. &C. wonld likely turn jrore business over to the T-, P. & W., in return for traffic turned over to the Big Four than the Pennsylvania would be inclined to. Papers in the anthracite coal regions report that anthracite coal shippers are still struggling %ith iha problem of how to get cars enough to ni'>ve their output. Consumers are becoming Humorous for long-delayed shipments, but the railroad companies seom powerless to provide she equipment needed. Platform cars, while frequently made to do duty as coal carriers, are ©ow needod for tboir legitimate purposes, so groat is tho amount of all kinds of freight offering. Comparatively few orders are now being fecrived bv the companies, except from places Which can readily be reached at all seasons of the year. The American Express Company yesterday ?nt ou line of refrigerator cars between New \>rk and St. Louis via Indianapolis to be run daily. These cars will be hauled on the train made up wholly of express cars which leaves New York at 8:20 p. m. , each evening reaches Indi manolisat 10.30 p. m., the next evening, and Louis at 7 a. m. the second morning. The lam* fast time will be made eastward. This triii be a grand thipg for the poultry men and ©gg packers, as the shipments made on one morning from this point are in New York the next morning. This aggressive movo nn the part of the express companies will doubtless be appreciated by the Indianapolis poultry and egg-pack-©rs as the express rates are now but little in excess of the rates charged by the fast-freight lines. Casper Buber, of Cambridge City, supervisor Os track on the Indianapolis division of the l’onn?ylvHiiia railroad system from Cambridge City o ladianapolis, was awarded tho first prize of |IOO as a premium for heat condition of track of the entire system west of Pittsburg. Mr. B.’s traek graded fifteen points better than second jl&ce, which was awarded to Supervisor McNamara, the division oast of that place to Bradford, t>. Mr. Buher is a well-qualified man and one 6f the best track supervisors in tho company’s employ. He is to be transferred to tho Columbus, 0., division, holding a similar position to ©is prnaeiv one, but with increase / Balary. Mr. Buber left yesterday to take hi* in w field of op-

eration*, and tho section men on the division he leave* presented him with a gold watch and chain. The railway management of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul are entitled to much praise for the promptness with which they furnished information regarding the recent disaster on the road. The company threw open all it* offices to the public, sent out bulletins, admitted pres* reporters to all the private dispatches passing between the railway officials, and the head of fleers at important points answered in person all inquiries relating to tne event. They appeared to believe that the public was entitled to all the news regarding the disaster, and they neither withheld, suppressed nor colored a single report. It is the too-frequent policy of railroad officials to withhold from the public early or complete intelligence of accidents ou their lines —if the facts can be altogether suppressed they like it all the better. The Railroad Gazette reports, a total of 133 railroad accidents in September. in which fortytwo persons were killed and 148 injured. As compared with September. 1885, there was an increase of forty-four accidents, of seventeen killed and fifty injured. We notice that seventeen of these accidents were caused by misplaced switches, which is too large a number. The most serious accident of the month, and. in fact, of many months previous, was the collision ou the Nickel-plate, at Silver creek, on Sept. 14, when thirteen passengers were killed, seven others fatally injured and thirteen less severely injured. Indiana roads seem to have been remarkably exempt in that month from accidents, but six of the 135 accidents occurring in this State. In the six accidents but one person was killed, that one in the accident on the 1., B. & W., Sept. 25, at Laura, O. Central Traffic Association Statistics. The remarks made by Commissioner George R. Blanchard at the meeting of the Central Traffic Associatoin, held in Chicago. Oct. 20, have been published in pamphlet form. His statement shows the association covers 18,300 miles of railways, whose freight earnings, in 1385, were $79,337,000. and $32,469,000 from passengers, or $111,80G,000 in aIL He states: “We have forty railroads in one department or both, but there are more than that number in the whole or part of the same territory which are not members. No such numbers or diversity of interests exist in the trunk line organization and all the associations next west of us combined. The approx'mated annua! totals of all the dead freight pools based on these figures, aggregate 2,881,269 tons and $0,711,007 of gross revenues, on which the final gross revenue balances paid and received between all the parties, would be but 9.12 cents per ton, and but 3.92 per cent, of the total reveuue. During the same periods the following tonnage has been diverted: At Chicago, 40,390 tons, or 3.07 per cent, of the total tonnage. At St. Louis. 2,172 tons, or 1.24 per cent, of the total tonnage. At Indianapolis, 700 tons, or 0.45 per cent, of the total tonnage. At Cincinnati there have been no diversions. At Louisville 152 tons were diverted, or 0.16 per cent, of the total tonnaga At Peoria, 1,338 tons, or 0.97 per cent, of total tonnage. These diversions aggregate but 44,752 tons, out of 2,003,622 tons of dead freight reported, or 2.23 percent, of the total tonnage. Mr. Blanchard, in his remarks, says: “Five cents per 100 pounds drawback paid a forwarder is $1 per ton instead of the 9 cents shown by the balances paid to an associate railway, and it is 20 per cent, of the Chicago revenue on thirteenth class, instead of but 3.92 per cent, shown to be the average of all the morey balances paid and received. Can any stronger argument be cited why you should receive and exchange balances with each other rather than pay the public from six to ten times 83 much, in addition to pool balances, and then fail to get the same amount of business or money? One course brings harmony and the other discord. One is as you have agreed, the other violates the agreements. Propose to Clinch the Agreement. At a meeting of the representatives of the Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Louisville east-bound lines, held at the Burnet House, Cincinnati, on Friday, Oct 29, 1886, it was resolved that from and after Nov. 4, 1886, no commission or compensation of any kind on east-bound business shall be paid by initial or connecting lines, either directly or indirectly, to any person in the cities of Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St Louis or Chicago, other than a regularly appointed agent of a railroad company, for whose action such railroad company is responsible. As some important lines were not represented, it was deemed advisable to have th action of this meeting ratified by the passenger department of the Central Traffic Association, and on motion it was resolved that Commissioner Daniels call a special meeting of the passenger department of the Central Traffic Association, attheßurnet House, Cincinnati, on Wednesday. Nov. 3. at 10 A. M. , for tho purpose of rati- * fying the action of this meeting, or modifying it a3 may be thought advisable at the time, with a view to having the resolutions take effect on Thursday, Nov. 4, 1886. In accordance with the above resolution, a meeting of this department is called at the Burnet House, Cincinnati, on Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1886, at 10 a. m., and, as it is in accordance with the resolution of the general managers, and the object of the meeting is of vital importance to every line in the association, Commissioner Daniels says it is hoped that every general passenger and ticket agent will be present, or represented by someone authorized to vote “yes” or “no,” unconditionally, upon any resolution regarding the restoration of rates brought properly before the meeting.

Where a Reform Would lie Beneficial. All the persons who perished in the frightful railway accident in Wisconsin, on Wednesday night, were in an ordinary passenger coach, and the incident, says tho Philadelphia Telegraph, shows how much greater risk is run in those vehicles than in the heavier special coaches. It is an excessively rare occurrence for a sleeper or parlor car to be wrecked, however serious the disaser in which it is involved; tho crash almost invariably expends itself on the weakest part of tho train, as it did in this latest instance. The advantages of solid construction being so manifest, it is entirely proper to inquire whether companies are justified in allowing any portion of their rolling stock to fall below tho highest excellence. The rider in a comparatively frail car of the ordinary pattern, sandwiched between these greatly heavier Pullman coaches, is subjected to a very definite extra risk for which the mere fact of Jiis declining to pay the extra fare is no excuse whatever. Equal assurance of safety should be given to all passengers, regardless of the amount of special comfort and convenience they may secure by paying therefor. One of the needs of railway service is, clearly, the equalizing of the strength of all passenger rolling stock—and it is a need as much in the interest of the companies as of travelers. Information Wanted by an Kxecntor. George T. Porter, as executor of Mrs. Cornelia Porter’s will, yesterday .filed a petition against Roy Stone and other legatees asking for a construction of the testator’s wishes in regard to the items giving General Stone and Mrs. Ella Davis the interest on certain sums during their lives. General Stone, the will states, is to receive the interest on $16,000 and at Ins death the principal is to go to his children, Richmond and Romaine Stone. Mrs. Davis is to receive the interest on SIO,OOO, and at her death the principal is to go to her daughter. The executor asks whether these legatees are entitled to an annuity equal in amount to the annual interest on tho sums mentioned or whether they are entitled to have these sums set apart by the executor and invested, the actual income thereon to be paid to tho legatees. If the latter is to be done, he asks whether tho taxes and other expenses attending investment and management of the amounts are to be v* th vr income or whether the legatees receive the gross income. He wants to know if he is required by the terras of the will to pay the interest the first or second year after tho death of testator. The latter question also applies to the legacies of Maria Shattuck and Minerva MeQuigg. Valuable and Convenient.

BEFORE THE MAYOR. Glimpses of Character in the Trial of Cases in the City Court on Monday Morning. Two very hard-looking young men were brought in from the cooler and placed in the prisoner*’ box of the Mayor’s court yesterday morning, and an elderly man took the witness seat He said his name was Forsyth, that he lived at Seymour, Ind., and published a paper there called the Monitor. If he had had hi* monitor with him, if it was a good one, he would hardly have fallen into the company he did. The two young men had offered to show him the town. They bad gone the grand rounds, and from the testimony brought out, the trio must have drunk in nearly every saloon on Illinois and East Washington streets. Finally they brought up in an alley somewhere near Noble and Washington streets. “This young man.” Baid Forsyth, pointing to Charles Jackson, “struck me, and when I was on my knees, this one,” pointing to Wm. Stiner, “took my watch and chain and SBO in money.” The watch and chain were valued at $lO5. Stiner has already served a term in the penitentiary. Jackson said he he had nothing to do with robbing Forsyth. If he was robbed it was after he left him. He said he got “leery” and went away. His Honor—What is leery? Officer Haley—Afraid of the officers. His He aor —Take them to the grand jury. * * ts Peter Burt, a colored man, pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and battery on Rachel Johnson, also colored. Rachel told the story. Burt had come home for supper and brought another man with him who was drunk. She didn’t like this kind of a visitor, and when Burt asked for his supper she told him it was in the pot and in the stove and he could get it himself. One word brought on another. She called him a bad name, he called her one, and finally he slapped her. “Are these people married?” inquired his Honor, when he discovered they bore different family nara^. Peter loosed down at his toes in a shamefaced way and said nothing. Rachel put her hand over her face and tittered. The Mayor: “I guess, under the provocation, $3 and costs will be enough for this man.” ♦ * The name of John Ross was called to defend the charge of assault and battery. The offending Ross did not appear, having defaulted his bail. Jennie Graves was put upon the witness stand. “He struck me on the head and shoul - ders,” said Jennie, “and my arm is black and blue. Besides, I have some big lumps on my head. His name isn’t John, but Homer O. Ross.”

“I think Homer’s name ought to be given to the public,” said his honor. “This is the second or third time he has been here for beating his mistress. He oughtn’t to be protected any longer. The fine is $25 and costs.” * * # Charles Cramer, fifteen years old, was in the box to answer to the charge of house-breaking. At 4:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon he climbed over the transom and entered the counting-room vacated by the Journal office. Charles entertained the idea common among boys that ail the vacant houses in the city belong to them, and that whatever they find therein is theirs by right of discovery. When confronted with the redeyed law in the form of Officer Nelson, the first witness, the boy began to cry loundly. The Mayor was disposed to be lenient, besides which a request had been made by Harry S. New that the boy be not prosecuted, as he had taken nothing. The Mayor gave him a good lecture and sent him home with his mother, promising him if he ever appeared in the court again ou a like charge he would be puoished like a man. AMUSEMENTS. MR. LAWRENCE BARRETT AS “RICHELIEU.” Mr. Barrett’s “Richelieu" is justly entitled to the proud distinction of being one of the few really great characterizations of the stage. Among the many different parts, which his great ability and versatility enable him to play so admirably, his “Richelieu” stands forth as an impersonation of intellectual fo-ce and dramatic effectiveness. It is a thoroughly and evenly strong performance, for Mr. Barrett’s conscientiousness will not permit him to “slur’i or neglect a single point that goes to make up a perfect whole, and to this carefulness in details can be largely attributed his success in making the illusion so perfect as to make an audience almost lose sight of the stage and its surroundings. Few actors are so effective in this as he, and his “Richelieu” last night was evidently as much applauded on account of tho vivid impression its realism produced, as for an appreciation of its striking excellence, when dispassionately considered from an artistic performance. Words need not bo multiplied in either describing or commending it, for it has been seen and admired here often before. With each succeeding year, however, Mr. Barrett’s acting seems to evince a dee ier feeling and a broader intellectuality. There is now no suggestion of crudeness or undue vehemence. The audience, at the beginniug of Ins engagement at the Grand, -last night, was large and representative. The actor met with a kind reception, and the performance was followed with the closest attention. Its many excellencies were marked by demonstrative outbursts, and the impassioned scenes were given with a force and intensity that created great enthusiasm, the long-continued applause dying out, only to be renewed time and again. The curse scene was admirably done, but it and the other so-called “points” were only raised above the general excellence of the impersonation by the special opportunities which they afforded. Mr. Barrett was given a very capable and intelligent support by his company. Miss Gales’s Julie was a performance of much grace and tenderness, and especial commendation is due Mr. Springer’s Baradas, Mr. Welles’s De Mauprat, which was given with much force and earnestness, and the De Beringhen of Mr. Koehler, which, although not a leading part, wqs presented with intelligence and expressiveness. The play was appropriately mounted. To night Mr. Barrett will appear as Lanciotto, the hunchback, in Hon. George H. Boker's great drama, “Francesca da Rimini," a play of very strong interest in itself, with a leading part that gives the star excellent opportunities.* His Lanciotto is a wonderful piece of acting. His engagement will conclude to-morrow night with a double bill, “Merchant of Venice” and “David Garrick,” he appearing as Shyloek and Garrick. The advance sale of seats for both these performances is large, and fine audiences may be expected. DIME MUSEUM—“NEVER SAY DIE.” .

This week’s attraction at the Dime Museum drew an immense audience last night, for both Mr. Joseph J. Dowling and Miss Sadie Hasson are well-established favorites here, and their new play, “Never Say Die,” is full of excitement, sensation and eutertaining comedy. It was presented with special scenery, which was particularly good, and new musical features, including a “catchy” song, by Miss Hasson, an octet of male voices, and a quartet of madrigal boys. There wjfs very demonstrative applause last night, the curtain being rung upon the various climaxes, and all the songs were encored. The performance made a hit that insures very large audiences all week. “Never Say Die” will run, afternoon and evening, until Thursday night, and during the remainder of the week Mr. Dowling and Miss Hasson will appear in their old-time favorite, “Nobody’s Claim,” with now features and effects. NOTES. The election returns will be read from the stage, between the acts, at the Museum to-night The engagement of the charming comedienne M’lle Aimee, will be at the Grand the latter part of the week. On Thursday and Friday evenings, and Saturday matinee, she will present, for the first time here, Sardou’s “Divorcons,” a very bright and entertaining comedy, and on

Saturday night she will appear in “Mam'zelle,” introducing in both plays her new songs and specialties. The advance srfle begins to-day. Everybody has been laughing at the funny advertising displayed by the Elks this week for their coming annual social, which occurs on next Tuesday night at English’s Opera house. The entertainment will be one of the most unique ever given in this city. Allen O. Meyers, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, will deliver the opening address. The minstrels will be as follows: Four end men and double interlocutors, Col N. M. Shaw and W. E. English: tarnborice end, Pink Hall and Bob Johnson; bones, J. H. Martin and Frank P. Wade; a quartet consisting of Mr. Fred Thomas, Fred Wiles, Mr. Jud Hall and Mr. Harry Fitch. Solos will be sung by Mr. Walter Nichols, Mr. John Farbach and Mr. Fred Wiles, and there will be many other special features. A REFORM IN FUNERALS. Resolutions Adopted by the City Ministers at Their Regular Meeting Yesterday. There was a representative attendance from the various church denominations at the Union Ministers’ meeting, yesterday forenoon, at the Central Christian Church. Rev. M. L. Haines, of the First Presbyterian Church, presided, and Rev. Robert E. Neighbor, of the North Baptist Church, read a well-considered and forceful paper on “Sunday Funerals,” He took strong grounds against the holding of funerals upon that day, as well as against expensive funerals and obsequies, attended with great ostentation. The subject was discussed at some length, almost every pastor present agreeing with the essayist. Dr. Gilbert offered resolutions on the siAject, which carried. The resolutions provided for the appointment of a committee to consult with undertakers to bring about # the desired reforms, and expressing strongly the disapproval by the meeting of Sunday funerals and the intention to discourage them. The committee consists of Revs. Gilbert, Van Buskirk, Neighbor, Rondthaler and Jenckes. Mesdames W. W. Woollen, S. J. Peelle and Daniel Stewart appeared before the association in behalf of the Free Kindergartens of the city, asking that the children of the Sunday-schools make offerings for their benefit the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and a majority of the ministers present pledged themselves to co-operate with the committee in the way suggested. Mr3. Dr. Houghton was present, and made a statement touching the work of the city Evangelistic Union. Upon adjournment the association repaired to the reception-room in the chapel to enjoy a luncheon spread by the ladies of the church. After luncheon, toasts were responded to as follows: “Oct. 31, 1517,” Rev. John Baltzly; “Religion, Before and After Elections,” Rev. Mr. Tevis; “The Ministry and Old Clothes,” Rev. Reuben Jeffery; “Feasts and Faiths," Rev. David Walk; “Our Fellowship,” Rev. J. A. Rondthaler. It was one of the most enjoyable meetings of the association. The next meeting of the association will be held at St Paul’s Episcopal Church, with Mr. Neighbor presiding. The discussions will be on “Probation After Death," Mr. Haines leading, and “The Effects of this Doctrine on Foreign Missions,” Mr. McConnell, of Roberts Park M. E. Church, leading.
