The 1., D. & S. road earned in the first twenty rne days ot this month $26,448.28, a decrease off 928.70 as compared with the earnings of the corresponding week 1885. The arbitrators for the Kansas pool lines will naert at St. Louis, on Friday, with a view of fempleting their decision before the association meets there on next Monday. The American Opera Company, 350 people, Wilt, on Sunilav next, be earned from Cincinnati to St. Lonis over the C-, L, St. L. & C. and the Yandalia, taking dinner at the Union i)©pot. There is the best authority for saving that matters have taken such a turn with the 1., B & W., that it is thought that the decree for the foreclosure sale of the road will be issued within the next sixty days. C. S. Sawyer, late general manager of the Continental line, was a member of the Indianapolis Board of Trade and of its insurance association, from which bis widow will receive *1 ,000 insurance within the next thirty days. From a party well informed it is learned that the Chicago & Eastern Illinois company have decided to build ho extension from a point on the mam line to Tuscola, 111., the coming summer, and further it is the company’s plan to push on to Mattoon as soon as practicaL Philadelphia papers state that the Philadelphia Si Reading stock is the financial belle of the Street and everybody nays court to it Corbin’s admiring friends have already filled their cellars with the shares and the junior bonds, and now they are filling their garrets also. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Lonis & Chi cago road has declared a dividend of 1£ per cent, cash, and a stock privilege which gives old shareholders new stock at 75, and the new stock, it is •toted, is being taken with a readiness whieh •von President Ingalls had not anticipated. A car loaded with oranges, starting Nov. S from Gainesville, Fla., made the trip to Chicago via the Louisville & Nashville, and the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago in five davs, the usual running time of freight of that character being from six to twelve days. The distance is 1,300 miles. W. W. Le Grande yesterday received letterspatent on his electric machine interlocking apparatus. Next week the superintendents of the several roads will be asked to witness a test of this valuable invention, as the one where the J., M. Sc I. intersects the Belt road will be completed Ip a day or two. The Ohio Connecting Railroad Company has elected Thomas D Messier as president, J N. McCullough, Wiiliam Thaw, John W. Renner. James MeCrea, Wm. Mullins and A. McElevey directors, who met and elected John E. Davidson treasurer and S. B. Ligeett secretary. It is the intention of the board to prosecute the work to completion as early as practicable. There is a stock moyement in Chicago, St Louis & Pittsburg, which sold up to the highest prices over known, on Wednesday—not because there is any chance of a dividend, for the com pnny lias not met its fixed charges, eveq under the reorganization plan, and will require an enorirous development of traffic to enable it to pay anything at all for the preferred stock. General Superintendent Kerrigan, of the Missouri Pacific railway, has issued a notice to the employes, in which he says: “Asa testimonial •f respect on the part of this company to the memory of Mr. Hoxie and his great services, and as a mark of esteem on the part of his associates and employes, the offices and shops of the company will be closed on the day of his funeral.” The Pacific coast and Eastern passenger agents, in session at Chicago, after spending the day in futile wrangling over the settlement of the commission business, appointed a committee pf five last evening to arrange an agreement for the maintenance of rates. The committee consists of Messrs. Dearborn, Whitney, Morse, Smith and White. They are under instructions to report to-day. The six roads in the Decatur pool, namely, the Illinois Central, the Wabash, the 1., D. & S.. the P.„ D. & E., the C. & H. and the Illinois Midland have issued a joint notice, under date Os the 23d, that on and after that date all Derating arrangements to Decatur, proper, which do not allow these lines the minimum rates established by the Illinois Railroad Freight Association are abrogated. Scolding the Southern roads for holding cars of Northern lines to do local service on Southern reads has accomplished some good, as it has in■duc.ed some of the roads to place orders for new enrs. The East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road this week placed an order with the Albama par works. Anniston, Ala , for 300 box cars, to he equipped with the Wagner ear-door, a selfcoupler. the cars to have a carrying capacity of 40,000 pounds. The earnings of the Erio road are said to be showing a phenomenal increase. The Philadelphia American says a statement will be forth ‘Coming, probably this week, that will cause the bull tail to lash with fury and the hibernating bear to aaek his hole, while the speculative pessimist will fall hack paralyzed. This statement has alreadv been cabled over to London, and the blooming Britishers will be dancing about it with frantic enthusiasm. i-ake Erie & Western stock was up to 22i in October, but fell to 14* on Monday, on the announcement of a forthcoming further assessment of $6 per share The statement of business for the sirs t four months shows gross earnings. $497,000; operating expenses, $320,000; net, $177,00(k Jix<-d charges. $119,480; surplus for the .stock, $57,520. More than half of the road has bepn laid with steel rails, and no receiver’s certificates have been issued. It is generally asserted that the extension front, although a good meaus of arresting sparks, does not effect any economy in the use of fuel! The record of the \\ abash locomotives seem to show otherwise. Ihe average consumption of fuel for all the engines was 67 pounds per mile or 29.8 milee to the ton. There are twenty engines on the road equipped with the Barnes extension front and smoke-preventing device. The average consumption of coal by these engines was 42.7 per mile, or 46.8 miles to the ton. V. T. Malott states that the announcement in the Cincinnati capers of yesterday that the contract for building the new Union Depot was swarded at the meeting in that city day before yesterday was premature. Tne building committee simply passed upon the bids and decided to wh. m the contract would be awarded whenever the obstacles to going ahead with the work are removed, which will doubtless be within the present vrsek. Not until this transpires will the came of the party to whom the contract is to be awarded be made public. A syndicate of gentlemen—J. H. Maugham, of London; J. O. Arnold, of Dayton, and Q. C. allies, of New \ork,* has an option on the Dayton division of the Toledo. Deinhos & Burlington railroad, agroing to purchase iho property for $350,000 by Jan. 1, 1887, or surrender $50,000 put up as forfeit in the hands of the bondholders' committee. This road is ninetyfive miles long, and ruus from Davton to Delphos. O. It was of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St Louis system, and has been operated by trustees for the bondholders since July, 1884 On a majority of the roads la this country travel t his year has been heavy, and all the great raijreads are finding their true interest in dose attention to th< safety and accommodation of public travel. It has beta found that absolute safety is by no mean* so difficult an attainment as it one© seemed. Great cooperations carry hundreds of thousands of passengers every year

without losing the life of one of them. In fact the great danger in the fastest trains is to persons outside of them at stations and crossings. The passengers inside of them are the safest of &1L W. E. Huntington, receiver of the Kentucky Central railroad, tnrough his attorneys, yesterday, presented a petition in the United States Court, at Louisville, for leave to pay off interest, aggregating nea*’ $120,000, on mortgage bonds of the Viavsviiie & Lexington railroad. The Louisville & Nashville has a damage suit for alleged violation of contract by the Kentncby Central penning, and filed a protest against the payment of the bonded iuterest, but finally agreed to the order after securing its lien. In the United States Circnit Court at Topeka, on Tuesdav. Judge Brewer presiding, the application of C. H. Ventier for a restraining order to prevent the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe Railroad Company from extending its line to Chicago and also to bnjom it from guaranteeing the bonds of the Atlantic & Pacific Company was argued. Tho court refused to grant the restraining order as to the Chicaeo line, and informed counsel that no further argument need be made on the snhjeeb Yesterday he also decided the Atlantic & Pacific case in favor of the Company, refusing to grant a restrain - ng order. A study of the performance sheets of the middle division of the Wabash, it is stated, reveals some interesting points regarding the performance of locomotives on this division. There are 162 locomotives on this division, and the whole are running an average of 2,Ml miles per month. The Wabash company have a good many small engines, with cylinders under seventeen inches, that have wheels five and one half feet in diameter and over. Such eneines are almost useless with the heavy trains of to-day. and Superintendent Barnes is putting smaller wheels under the engines, so that they may be put to service that will wear them out. The Pullman Car Company ask an Indianapolis road to pay them $750 for the same pattern car they built for this very road four years ago for S4OO. The fact is, the railroad business has most materially improved, and the cry is now, not for more freight, but for more cars to transport the large amount of freight to be carried. During the last few years of depression the railroad companies have followed the very common policy of economizing in all possible ways. They stopped buying rails and building cars whenever that 6eemed to he expedient. But the revival of business activity has found many of them ill equipped to serve the public needs. They are without cars and are building them with alt possible celerity, and the car works are crowded with business. The Boston Herald says: “It was a technical, if not an actual, error to say that control of the Dayton & Ironton road had been bought by the C-. H. &D. company. The purchasers of 14,000 shares were a half-dozen capitalists interested in that road, and these gentlemen, and not the C., H. & D. company, now have control, and may or not put it to uses in connection with that road. The syndicate making the final purchase paid 90 for the stock. There was a syndicate below them, of fewer numbers, that bought the stock for delivery to the larger syndicate at prices ranging from 90 downwards. The status and rights of the shareholders mentioned are precisely what thev have been since the shares were issued. The shares have simply changed owners, and are Dayton & Ironton certificates as much as they ever were. They have nothing to do with, and no relation to, the C., H. A D. road." The Philadelphia Inquirer says: “There has been a good deal of not altogether pertinent gossip as to the exact position Mr. Corbin lias assumed as an intermediary between the Pennsvlvania and Baltimore & Ohio, and what authority he has been vested with by either party. It is not necessary or desirable that a public inquest should be beld as to these matters. The fact of moment appears to be that Mr. Corbin, one of the most successful railroad managers of the time, commanding the respect and confidence of the railroad and the financial world, is on terms of friendly intimacy with the highest officials of both the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio roads. He has conferred fully and plainly with each respecting the present and the future relations of the two roads. He knows the position occupied and the views entertained by each. Asa railroad manager, whose opinion must carry great weight, he can point out to each the fair, medium course between the two, which they can purse in peace and amity, avoiding conflict aud helping rather than harming each other.” Nearly all Western roads would be doing a heavier business if they could get their cars returned more promptly when allowed to go beyond their own road, or when their cars are olaced upon some manufacturer’s sine switch. A majority of the roads have enough cars for the freight they handle, if they were kept moving; but, as soon as a rush of business comes, great numbers of cars are converted into storehouses and warehouses, and kept standing on side-tracks for days and sometimes weeks. On one Indianapolis switch there are to-day standing six cars loaded with logs, which have been sianding there for over five weeks. The road to which these cars belong is converting all their flats into coal-cars, so great is the demand for this class of ears, yet the party who owns these logs smiles at the agent of the road when he urges him to unload them, and when the agent became somewhat vexed over the delay in unloading them, the consignee got mad and threat ened to turn his business hereafter over a competing line, which he should be allowed to do. for the cars are worth more to the road than his business, even in dull times.

Sale of the Southern Pacific Coast Road. San Francisco, Nov. 24—The entire capital stock of the Southern Pacific Coast Railroad, between San Francisco and Santa Cruz, a distance of eighty miles, was to-day transferred to the Southern Pacific company and the Pacific Improvement Company. The transfer places the two latter companies in immediate possession. The amount paid cannot be learned, but it is believed to be between four million and six million dollars. The Southern Pacific company purchased the property which directly appertains to the railroad and its operations. The Pacific Improvement Company acquired the collateral property, comprising the real estate owned by the Southern Pacific Coast railroad along its road, and its water frontage in OaKland and Alameda. It is stated that no change in the management of the Southern Pacific Coast railroad will be made at present. The Passenger Association Meeting. Chicago, Nov. 24— At the meeting of the Western Passenger Association to-day, an agreement was reached upon the question of the issue of thousaDd-mile tickets. Strict definition of the manufacturing and commercial firms to whom they are to be sold was agreed upon, and also that the signature of the buyer must be attached in the presence of the company’s agent. There were some minor differences regarding the payment of commissions, and the restrictions to be placed upon the issue of tickets by connecting roads, but no disputes which will prevent the formation of the pool. General Manager Talmage, of the Wabash, not having been heard from on the question of the method of dividing percentages, an adjournment was taken until Tuesday next Reading’s Prospective Default. Philadelphia. Nov. 24.—There is a good deal of talk in financial circles over the announcement by the Reading railroad receivers that they will default on the interest on the consolidated mortgage bonds due Dec. 1. It is that, instead of the bondholders joining in the foreclosure suit, they will demand redress from the court in another way. There i** also some prospect that the court will be msU- J to restrain the further inte*-est on the floating debt. The differences in tbs board of reconstruction trustees have, it is said, increased, and a report prevails that they have come to a deadlock on the reorganization plan. The Buffalo, Rochester S: Pittsburg. New York. Nov. 24—The first annual meeting of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway Company occurred to day. The meeting was organized by the election df W. H. Brown ohairman, and Thomas F. Wentworth secretary. The old board of directors was re-elected, except that F. O. French gave place to Henry J. Barber, without opposition.

Philadelphia, Nov. 24.—The Ledger to-mor-row will say: Mr. Robert Garrett, president of tho Baltimore & Ohio railroad, was in this city yesterday, and bad consultations with President Corbin, of the Reading railroad, and variious other railway officials and financiers. The respective arrangements between the Baltimore A Ohio, the Pennsvlvania and Reading companies seem to now be completed, the Baltimore & Ohio dividing its traffic east of Philadelphia, sending its freight over the Reading and Jersey Central lines, with the Staten Island property as the ultimate terminal, and sending the firstclass passenger traffic over the Pennsylvania railroad to Jersey City. New Railroad Company Organized in Utah. Salt Lake, U. TANARUS., Nov. 24 Articles of incorporation of the Utah Midland railroad were filed with the Secretary of the Territory to-day, with a capital of $5,000,000, 10 p*r cent paid in.

H. Eib and John A Groesbeck. The object is to connect with the Colorado Midland, and within two vears to have a line into this city via White River, the Duchesne, Provo and Parley’s Park. It is a strong company and means business. New Railway Incorporated. • St. Louis, Nov. 24.—A special from Little Rock, Ark., says: “The Hot Springs, Bear Mountain A Crystal Springs Railway Company filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State yesterday. The capital stock of the company is $500,000. The corporation intends to construct a railroad from Hot Springs, in Garland county, to Crystal Sorings, in Montgomery county.

The biennial report of the Indiana State Normal School was submitted to the Governor yesterday by the directors of the institution. The report states that the growth of the school since its organization, seventeen years ago, has been very satisfactory. The enrollment the past year was 909. • In all 280 persons have graduated from the school, and there have been 4,242 undergraduates. It was found necessary during the past year to increase the force of teachers, and the SIO,OOO appropriated by the last Legislature for the support of this school has been found inadequate to cover the expenses.
