AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Thief Eofioeer Clark, of the West Shore, will retire Jan. 1, and will be succeeded by Division Engineer Reece, of Toledo. li. M. Fraser, general freight agent of the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore road, Vas in the city yesterday on official business. J. J. Turner, division superintendent fit the C., St L. & P., who has been East some four weeks with his family, visiting, returned yesterday. K. F. Wood, of Cleveland, superintendent of the Valley railroad, and formerly division superintendent of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, has resiened. General Freight Agents Pago, of the C., T-, St. L. &C.; McLeod, of thoC., H. & D., and Albert S. White, of the Bee-line, were in the city, yesterday, to attend the pool meeting. The passengers over the Bee-line who now leave Indianapolis at 3:55 p. M. reach Boston at 10 p. M. the next evening, Eastern time, or, in Other words, this train makes the ran from Indianapolis to Boston in tweuty-nine hours. C. W. Fairbanks. C. E. Henderson and other Indutnapolitans. who held common stock in the Payton & Ironton road, and who have sold out, it is stated, were paid in preferred stock, which promises to be valuable in the near future. J. 11. Swartz, private secretary of J. J. Turner, division superintendent of the C., St L. & P., has resigned to accept a similar position la the office of President Staynor, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Company. The movement of grain continues larger than was expected, and this, now that the trunk lines have decul<<• not to advance their rates on the Ist of D- 'Mmher, bids fair to last through the white: it' ->ths as a steady partof theeast-bound railroad traffic. But sewn miles of the Indiana Midland track is yet to be laid to complete the road from Anderson to Lebanon. Last evening Manager Moore, with an engine and construction train, went over the C.. 1., St. L & C. to Lebanon, and to-day commences laying track from that end of the road. Chas. O. Scull yesterday severed his connection with the Central Traffic Association to accept his new position of assistant general pesos agent of the Baltimore & Ohio road. Mr. Sotill is unquestionably one of the brightest passenger men in the business, and will be a valuable man for General Passenger Agent Lord. Brent Arnold having decided to remain with th Louisville & Nashville road, John F. Ewing, who represents the Bee-line at Louisville, is to be made, it ib understood, division freight agent of the Bee-line, headquarters Cincinnati, with charge of the Lonisville territory In this manlie- the Bee-line makes one man fill the positions held by two men, thus saving the salary of ooe official. The counsel of the Pennsylvania railroad are busy prepring answers in the South Pennsylvania & Beech Creek suits, in which unfavorable decisions were recently confirmed in the Supreme Court. They will be printed and filed as Boon as possible, and the counsel are confident that statements assumed as facts, in forming the recent decisions, will be shown to be based on error. By a slip of the pencil, the Jonrnal of the 23d credited the Railway Age with publishing in pamphlet form the areument of Judge Stevenson Burke, actiue president of the Bee-line, on the legality of pooling contracts, when the Railway Review should have had the credit, us the argujnentof Jndee Burke first appeared in the Review. which has of late become one of the wideawake railroad journals of the times. C. B. Cole, master of transportation of the Ohio & Mississippi road, yesterday retired to accept the position of division superintendent on vhe Northern Pacific road. Mr Cole has been on the O. & M. for several years, and is a railroad man of considerable ability, but his relations with C. C. F. Bent, general superintendent of the O. <fc M.. have not been ot the pleasantest character, consequently he drops out. The talk that an agreement is to be entered Into between the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Pennsylvania railroad and the Wisconsin Central, by which the three companies should Jxchange traffic at Chicago, is doubtless a bull tetn for the Wisconsin Central; yet it would constitute one ot the most, beneficial transcontinental and Northwestern connections that the public has ever known. Bat all this is merely one of the possibilities of the future. Almost withou. exception the master mechanics of Ind'anapoiiv roads are experiencing a eood deal of trouble with their locomotive boilers. Owing to the dry summer the roads have been obliged to use water strongly impregnated with lime, or well water, surface water having been in abort supply. Master Mechanic Garstang. of the Bee-line shops, states that owing to this trouble it has cost 33 per cent, more to keep up their engines than in an ordinary season. H. C. Wicker, traffic manager of the Chicaeo & Northwestern, who was appointed arbitrator of the Indinnapolis east-bound pool, and who was, yesterday, to meet the general freight pgentsof the roads in this pool, was, while eu route here. Informed by telegraph that his mother, who resides in Vermont, was sick unto death, and he immediately turned about and, last night., left for the East. Consequently the meeting called for yesterday has been indefinitely postponed. A party of Southern railroad officials were in the city yesterday examining the railroad signals at the crossing of the J., M. & 1. and the Belt road, known as the LeGrande electro-me-chanical signal, and the Union signal at the crossing of the Bee-line and the Belt road. The party, all of whom are expert mechanics, were greatly pleased with the workings of the LeGt ande sieual, which is anew invention. They ■were specially impressed with its simplicity and the perfectness of its work and with its low cost AS compared with the Union signal. W. H. McDoel, general freight agent of the L.. N. A. & C., was in the city yesterday, looking after the interests of the road in the indianSpolis east-bound pool. The percentage this road ae been earning in the pool the last thirty days, .'linen rates have been maintained by the Blue Sine, makes it less probable that the increase in the per centage of the L.. N. A & C. in the pool asked will be awarded. The more the matter is looked into the more apparent is it tnat the present awards in the Indianapolis pool are now About as justly made as they well could be. The Boston Advertiser drops a remark which Some of the enthusiastic friends of new railroad enterprises in the Southern part of this State would do well to heed How many of therailyoads, says the Advertiser, which seemed to be blossoming into prosperity in 1881 have since been nipped by the cruel frost of a receivership' The fifty railroads which went into the hands of receivers in 1885 carried with them the hopes And savings of a large harvest of speculators yvho went into them, in 1881, with the same buoyant prospects which are leading a second eron to invest in 1886 in enterprises whose issue Is perhaps even more doubtful. E. P. Wilson, general passeneer agent of the Chicago & Northwestern, is beginning to revolutionize matters, and it is announced will in the near future make a number of changes in his district passenger agents. He already announces the folio vine changes, to take effect on the Ist of December: J. F. Wiley, having resiened the Eastern passenger agency of this eompany, A. 11. Pride, as general Eastern agent, will ‘have charge of the passenger business in New York, Brooklyn, Hoboken, Jersey Citv, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Richmond. E. T. Monett is appointed passenger agent for the fities of New York. Jersey City, Brooklyn and [oboken. He will report to Mr. Pride. It is really gratifying to notice that snch roads as the Bee-line, the Vsndalia and the G, St L. & P. have For once taken an independent stand against the trunk lines in this matter of advancing rates For years the roads of the Interior have done whatever the trunk lines requested, Whether It was for their best interest or not, but with the organization of the Central Traffic Association the roads of the interior have given the Eastern trunk lines to understand they have Borne voice in this matter of naming rates. The general freight agents of the roads in the Central Traffic Association know that putting the rates on the basis of 30 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York simply means that the grain will remain in the cribs In the West all winter, and go by lake whenever navigation opens. Whether this grain goes out now or next ®P nn ß. the New York Central and the Erie

managements know that they will get a large rier cent, of the grain to haul from Buffalo to New York and New England points, much of it at local rates from that point, and it would be the Bee-line, the L, B. & W., the C., H. & D. and the C., St L. & P., which would be the greatest sufferers in business. The present rate—23 cents per 100 pounds from Innianapolis to New York—pays the roads well, and they may as well be hauling it this winter at that rate as to have their equipments idle and the corn and oats lying in cribs in the West. Tbe present rates, if let alone, will be quite satisfactory to shippers and will prevent a demoralization in rates, which would surely follow an advance of 5 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York and the usual proportion from other points, and it is the prevailing sentiment among the more conservative freight men and with the shippers that the roads in this section should not for a moment listen to any proposition to advance rates Dec. 1, Dec. 10 or Dec. 20, but let the present rate be the rate of the winter. Rear collisions are becoming so common that riding in a coach on the rear of a mixed train is one of the most dangerous practices in vogue. The passenger coach would be in & much safer place were it hauled directly behind the engine; in fact, the first car behind the locomotive is proving to be the safest place on tbe train. It is very seldom that an expressman or postal clerk is seriously injured, even when there are head collisions, and tbe express and postal cars are invariably hauled next to the locomotive. The British traveling people and railway men are agitating against tbe practice of running mixed trains. They want each train to be all passenger or all freight cars. Those who favor retaining the mixed trains wish to have the passenger cars put in front, the belief being expressed that the front is tbe safest part of along train. New Line Between New York and Boston. licecifl 1 to the Indiananolfs Journal. New York, Nov. 26. —The Commercial Advertiser says: “Work upon anew line of railway between New York and Boston will, in all probability, be begun within a month. The contracts for construction from New York to Danbury were awarded, day before yesterday, to Heman, Clark & Cos. The road begins on the Bronx river, at the city line, and passes through Mount Vernon, Mamaronook, Rice and Port Chester. At the latter place it crosses the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad, and runs through Ridgefield to Daubary. A syndicate of capitalists have already subscribed for $1,000,000 of the first-mortgage bonds. The road will be known as the New York, Danbury & Boston.” Miscellaneous Notes. It is not expected that the granger roads will make a favorable showing for the third week of November, owine to storms and generally decreasing volume of business. A meeting of the general managers of the St Paul & Chicago lines was held at St Paul, at which a schedule of labor rates was agreed upon and a resolution adopted to maintain all other rates. The talked-of extension of the Little Rock & Fort Smith through Indian Territory to Arkansas City, Kan., and to an eventual connection in Kansas with not only the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, but also with the Missouri Pacific and tbe Rock Island systems, would undoubtedly be of great benefit to Little Rock. The Legislature of Vermont, Tuesday 1; t, passed a bill establishing a Railroad Commission of three persons, to be appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate, the Commissioners to appoint a clerk. The salary of the Commissioners is to be $8 per day while engaged in the duties of the board, and of tbe clerk, $5 per day, with necessary expenses. The stockholders of the Old Colony Railroad at their annual meeting, Wednesday last, passed the followine resolution: Whereas we. the stockholders of the Old Colony Railroad Corporation, believe that free passes given to members of the Legislature and other state officials, exert corrupting influences, therefore, Resolved, That the president and directors are hereby instructed not to issue tickets over the road to members of the Legislature or other State officials except at regular rates. Railroad matters are remarkably active in Georgia, and work has begun which will result in making Rome quite an important railroad center. The Rome & Carrolton will build 300 miles of road, with Rome as its base. The Rome 6 Decatur will build 142 miles of road from Rome to Decatur, Ala. A line is also surveyed from a point on the Alabama road across the Oostanaula river in a northwesterly direction to Forrestville, passing through Rome. The intention is to extend this road east to Kingston, and across the State to Gainesville, where it will tap the Richmond & Danville. The St. Louis, Fort Scott & Wichita railroad is attracting attention through the anplic&tion of a minority of the stockholders for the appoictrm it of a receiver,and the proposition, when this is granted, to bring a suit for an accounting aeainst Mr. Gould individually and the Missouri Pacific. The road extends from Fort Scott to Wichita, with branches to Anthony and Newton, a total mileage of 250. If the road could be got out of the clutches of the Missouri Pacific, the Chicago & Alton, Chicago, Burlineton & Quincy, Rock Island or St. Paul would naturally jump at the chance of securing this line into southern Kansas.

A NEW TELEPHONE. William Marshall's Discovery of a Simple Method of Transmitting Sound. New York Special. A sensational report was recently circulated that a telephone had been invented by an electrician in this city which was not only a vast improvement upon the Bell instrument, but in principle and detail in no wise conflicted with the patents upon that costly and monopolizing instrument. Upon investigation this has been found to be true, the instrument being the Marshall telephone, invented by Mr. William Marshall, at No. 4 University Building, Washington square. Mr. Marshall has invented and obtained letters patent upon a telephone of novel construction and principle, U6ing no magnet or diaphragm, and dependent for its acoustic interpretation of electric pulsations upon the alternate cohering and separation of sheets of ordinary tinfoil and paper arranged as a condenser, The receiver may be used with the ordinary telephone transmitter, and is constructed upon the general plan of what is known as a condenser, and consists of a pile of leaves of tinfoil or other suitable substance with insulating material interposed, the whole being perforated in the middle and placed In layers pressed together at the outer edge. To the eye the receiver appears simply as a small duodecimo volume of wrapping paper illustrated with tinfoil, the illustrations being inserted between tbe pages. Beyond this there is nothing but a plain black-walnut handle, fashioned something like the newspaper files in hotels. To this are attached a pair of binding screws serving to connect the alternate leaves of tinfoil to the line. The instrument was to-day tested in every way over a resistance equal to that of 200 miles of wire, and yielded entirely satisfactory results, and in volume, tone, ana distinctness was immeasurably superior to even the best of the Bell telephones now in use. The principle upon which this surprising telephonic receiver works is entirely novel and astonishingly simple. No electro-magnet and no diaphram is used. The tinfoil sheets of tbe condenser, arranged in alternate layers of polarity, form practically a compound electroscope, the leaves of which being excited by the induced currents, as described, attract each other. On the excitement ceasing the elasticity of the internosing paper causes a divergence. The impulses in the Marshall telephonic system are exactly synchronous and in unison with the acoustic vibrations of the transmitting operator's voice, and hence form acoustic waves in the receiver exactly similar to those affecting the transmitter. Bad Start of the Young Democracy. Louisville Commercial. The yonng Democracy of Indiana has made a bad start in crowding out the old campaigners. In their impatience to win they have suffered themselves to be led by demagogues like Gray and Green, and the mess they have made of it will wilt their ambition for campaigns to come. With their fight among themselves the Democrats are not well equipped to meet the Republicans in the contest for control of tbe Assembly, and the best indications certainly are that Ben Harrison will succeed himself.

Lincoln’s Literary Style. Nicolay and Hay, In Decoinber Century. The errors of grammar and construction which spring invariably from an effort to avoid redundancy of expression remained with him through life. He seemed to grudge the space required for necessary parts of speech. But his language was at twenty-two, as it was thirty years later, the simple and manly attire of his thought, with little attempt at ornament and none at disguise. There was an intermediate time when he sinned in the direction of fine writing; but this ebullition soon passed away, and left that marvelously strong and transparent style in which his two inaugurals were written. General Logan does not very often enjoy a joke upon himself, but he recently related at a dinner table an amusing experience of his at the Capitol. He was passing through the rotunda one day, when a very new and very verdant guide, who*had just begun operations in the Capitol, came up to tbe General and tried to sell him a guide-book. Tbe idea of his being taken for a stranger at the Capitol pleased him. He amused himself for several moments asking the guide questions about the Capitol and look-

Frank Carpenter, in Cleveland Leader. An ex-member of the confederate Congress, and a man who was close in the councils of the Confederacy during|the war, tells me some interesting unwritten history in regard to the assistance which the South was offered by foreign powers. He says: "During one of the secret sessions of the Congress, at Richmond, an emissary arrived from England, and proposed to take all of the cotton of the Confederacy at 12$ cents a pound. It would buy the cotton as it etood in the planters' fields, in the warehouses and on the wharves, and the idea was to put the English flag over the vessels which came for it, £• recognize the Confederacy, and carry it away. "One of the members of the Cabinet had tha idea that cotton was king, and he opposed tha acceptance of the offer. The plan fell through, and the emissary went back to England.” "At another time the confederate Congress received news from Napoleon, stating that ba was ready to acknowledge the confederate government, provided its Congress would pass a law as to the future abolition of slavery. At this same time I received a letter from Mrs. Greenough, an American lady who had gone to England and was visiting in Gladstone’s family there. She told m*> she had just had a conversation with Napoleon, in which he had said that he was anxious to recognize the independence of the South, but ha did not dare to do so, unless the South would consent to abolish slavery at some future time. The temper of the French people was strongly in favor of the abolition of slavery, 'and/ said Napoleon, *it would be satisfied with any action of the French government which tended to bring it about.’ ” Sam Becoming; Polite.

Physicians who have seen the effect of the Medicated Soft Pad Truss I U and Liniment upon rupture admit that it ■ M will cure all mild cases and many of the %. J worst cases of Direct and Scrotal Hernia, without scarcely any pain, and not a particle of danger. The principles upon which this is done are as follows: First, it retains perfectly; second, it causes an inflammation directly under the pad, whioh extends to the ring; third, this inflammation causes the edges of the ring to thicken, and Lymph is thrown out and tissue formed; the contracting and healing continues until the rupture or ring is entirely closed.
