AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and XxocaL A. party of thirty-five left at noon, yesterday, for San Diego, over the Bee-line, L & St L. division. JFJ. L. Dudley, the general manager, hae been appointed receiver of the Central lowa, Illinois division. W. L. Condell has been appointed New England passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington 4c Quincy. William Pingree has succeeded J. M. Davies fi agent for the Chicago & Northwestern in ban ran cisco. T. P. Shouts has been appointed general manager of the Indiana, Illinois & lowa railroad, taking effect Dec. 6. The Pacific Coast railroad passenger agents have agreed upon a temporary passenger pool continue four months from to-day. F. H. Melendy has been appointed New Eng land passenger agent of the Chicago & Northwestern, with headquarters at Boston, Mass. But seven of the officials of the Vandalia road, whose headquarters are Terre Haute, were in attendance, last evening, at the Scottish Rite Convocation. It is claimed at Harrisburg, Pa., that Pennsylvania railway employes get their coal at less than the retailer can afford to pay the carrying company for the same coal. A. P. Lincoln was yesterday appointed paymaster of the Bee-lme, vice E. C. Sheldon re|igued. Mr. Lincoln was Mr. Sheldon’s first ' clerk and worthy of the promotion. Mr. William M. Clements, the present general manager of the Erie Express, will return to the Baltimore & Ohio in the capacity of general manager of one of the divisions on Jan. 1. George W. Yost, who, for some years, was With the C., St. L. & P. road, but who, for six years past, has been in Leavenworth, Kan., is Spending a few days with friends in this city. The Terre Haute division of Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers give a grand ball on New Year’s eve, at Terre Haute. The Indianapolis division will be well represented on this occasion. E. H. Waldron, ex-general manager of the Lake Erie & Western road, is in the city. The Journal has information which indicates be is to Coon have a good position should he choose to accept it. The Grand Rapids & Indiana road pave notice, yesterday, that they wero in the market for 500 box-airs, fifty tons capacity, and first-class in every respect. The ludianapolis car works are asked to bid. It is stated that the news from Chicago of Judge Gresham’s decision in the Wabash matter cast a gloom over the company’s officers in St. Louis, and every face was blue, from Receiver Tutt’s down to the office boy’s. C. A. Baird, formerly car accountant of the Cincinnati Southern, has been appointed general passenger and freight agent of the Tavares, Orlando & Atlantic This its one of the roads of Which H. R. Duval is general manager. Albert Brykit to-day commences his twontieth year as an engineer on the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road, and Wm. Prescott, superintendent of the company’s power, has given him engine. No. 43, just out of the Bhops, to run. It is stated that C. L. Wellington, assistant general freight apent of the Wabash at Chicapo, has been tendered and has accepted the commisBionership of the new southern Kansas pool, known as the Interstate Traffic Association. The position of general manaper of the Globe last-freight line still poes beppinp. Accountant Gums is acting as general manager, and possibly Will be made general manaper, as he is a good freipht man and well posted in the details of . last-line service.

-The London committee on Wabash has authorized the purchasing committee in New York to go cn with the plan and issue the stock of the • new company. Drexel, Morgan & Cos. and Jay Gould have offered the committee par for the new 5 per cent, bonds. There were received - at the Indianapolis stock yards yesterday 221 car-loads of livestock. The business at the yards thi3 year is running con■iderably ahead of that of last year, and the earnings will be much larger than in any year in the history of the yards. James Prutzman, a division foreman on the Reading railroad for nearly thirty years, was on Monday notified of his suspension from further doty. P. A. Taylor, of Pottsville. was appointed -division supervisor, with Josenh Erb, of Cresgona, as assistant, and headquarters to be at Pottsville. The earnings of the Cairo, Vincennes & Chicago road for November were $60,576, an increase over lie earnings of the corresponding tnonth in 1836 of $16,104. This exhibit is certainly very cieditable to the young men who are operating the mad. all of whom commenced rail--goading in Indianapolis. Said an old railroader yesterday, ‘’The time was When roads couid place some reliance on what Are known as elevator certificates of the weight if grain in a car loaded by them, but now they are operated so much in the interests of the ahippprs that we dare not take their weights, and Weigh every car on our own scales.” While E. A. Ford, eeneral passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, is in the city, be would do well to look after the younpman Rech,ticket agent at the np-town office. Unless he is grossly misrepresented, he is shading rates to an extent which, if continued, will Wreck the Passenger Agents’ Association. As soon as the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicaco foad is operated by the present owners, doubtess the Pacific express will withdraw from this territory. The United States Express Company {las been doing the local business over the 1., P. & C., but the Wabash has run its Pacific express messengers in here, and has done considerable In the way of demoralizing rates. Indications are that the project of bnildinp a road, to be known as the Indianapolis, Eel River & Western road, has fallen through. The impression has been from the beginning, with railroad men, that the whole scheme was only a paper affair, the originators expecting to sell out at a handsome sum to the Pennsylvania people rather than have toe Indianapolis & Vincennes paralleled.

The T. H. & L. division of the Vacnalia system is becoming a valuable property. The local traffic on this road the oast, year, it is staled, has been fully 30 per cent heavier than Inst year, *nd the coal traffic is developing way beyond the expectations of the best friends of the road. Four vears ago there was handled on this division from twenty to thirty car-loads of coal por day, and now the average movement is 175 cars per day. H. S. Julier, general superintendent of the American Express Company, spent yesterday in fehe city, and, in company with General Manager Fargo, Superintendent Sioane, Assistant Supe - Intendent Fargo and General Agent Folsom, ex trained the several pieces of property which have been offered the companv in the vicinity of the pew Union Depot for offices. No decision was reached as to which of the properties they would purchase.

It is quite probable that the C., 1.. St. L. & C. road and the B. &O. Kankakee Despatch will lease the rooms recently occupied by the First National Bank. General Passenger Agent Egan, of the “Big Four." and Mr. Barbour, the real estate agent of the company, were in the city yesterday, and went so far as to offer $3,500 per annum for the rooms, and Mr. Cl ay pool, the nwner, has the offer under consideration. The Rental Mr. Claypool had fixed on the rooms was $3,000 per annum. It seems settled that the Lake Erie & Western he sold on the 15th. It is said that the r ort Way no, Muncie & Louisville people have an eye on the property, and. in fact, will 0* bidders for the middle and western divisions. It wcu.d not be a surprise, however, were President Ingalls, of the C . I. „St L. & G, to be a bidder for the western division, and the snccessful one, ur this division would be worth more to the ‘•Big Font* than to any other railroad interest with which the Lake Erie & Western forms a connection. The Boston Herald says: "As near as we •an get at it the 1., B. & W. consolidation plan Will, when consummated, reduce interest Charges some $90,000. and. with some promised economies, the company hopes to oarn a divi- * Jid on the preferred stock, which is composed O. B &W. juniors and the stock of the two 8. &C. companies. All this in case and vnn the con sell dated company succeeds in y* ing a 5 per cent. bond, and in inducing the aolasrs et higher rate bonds to part with them

.before maturity. We hardly £hiuk, however, that this scheme is basis for rise in Sandusky, but rather that the rise is based on a ‘something in the air,’and that something is that C., S. & C. will be put in as L, B. &W. first preferred. ” One of the Indianapolis roads owns 4,359 cars, and over 800 of these cars are in service on lines east of the Western termini of the trunk lines, and have been detained there several weeks, in some cases, beyond the time they should have been returned. One wonld think that the wealthy trunk lines and New England roads were able to furnish their own equipments for local service, but if able it seems they do not, as this is not the only road in the West thAt is short of cars, and suffering for the cars detained on Eastern lines. Eastern papers have a good deal to say about an advance in east-bound rates on the 15th, but Western railroad officials have heard nothing of an advance, and there will be none until after the meeting of the Central Traffic Association, called for next week, and after the meeting ten days’ notice must be given before the advance can tuke effect. The rumor grew, doubtless, out of the fact that the trunk lines have voted to advance rates, but as matters now stand the Western roads have something to do with tiling the time of any advance in rates, or reduction either. According to the vice-president of the American Iron and Steel Association, Mr. Swank, the production of steel rails in the present year will be greater than in any preceding year. Prices are good and tending upward, and all branches of the iron and steel industries are active at firm prices. Railroad building shows the same activitp, ana is at once the cause and the consequence of the marked improvement in general business. Contracts for 50,000 tons of steol rails were placed last week in Eastern mills, and contracts for 800,000 tons have been made for 1887. The officers of the Lancaster Block Coal Company were in the city yesterday for the purpose of arranging with Superintendent Mansfield, of the Indianapolis & Vinoennes road, to haul twenty car-loads of this coal per day to this market. These mines are some twelve miles north of Worthington, and the coal is of a superior quality. But little of it has as yet been offered on this market The officers state that their capacity is now one thousand tons per day, and they propose to place quite a large per cent, of their production on this market providing they can get it transported on favorable terms. The favor with which the dining-cars have been received on the Pennsylvania railroad has prompted the management to extend their us 6. Commencing vesterdav a dining-car to run to Philadelphia was attached to the Chicago express leaving New York at 6P. M. for Philadelphia and the West, and a similar car was attached to the Washington limited express at Wilmington to run to New York. These cars are the exact counterpart of those used on the New York and Chicago limited, and are the finest examples ot their class in the world. The cars are constructed especially for uso as dining-cars only. The kitchen is equipped with all the appliances of a first class hotel; the cooks are trained especially for the service, and the larder is filled with the best that can be procured, including a carefully chosen selection of wines and liquors. The prices are exceedingly liberal when compared with similar service in regular restaurants, as it is no easy matter to find a restaurant where so complete a meal can be secured for sl.

Miscellaneous Notes. Manifest destiny calls the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to Chicago, says one of the officials of that road. A dispatch from Uniontown, Pa., says the engineers on the entire system of the B. & O. railroad have made a demand for pay for overtime. A conference will probably be held on Friday and a satisfactory conclusion reached. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad yesterday, at Baltimore, Robert Garrett was re-elected president. After the election Mr. Garrett addressed the board and spoke of the favorable prospects of the road. The employes in the freight department of the Panhandle Railroad Company at Pittsburg have been notified that hereafter they will receive extra pay for all overtime. This includes the freight conductors, engineers, brakemen and yardmen. The German railroads which have been placed under the control of a government bureau have lost in nower and efficiency. Railroad development has come to a practical standstill, and there has occurred an almost absolute loss of initiative. The Boston & Albany railroad pays $288,000 corporation tax this year into the State treasury. The Massachusetts corporation taxis paid on the market value of the stocks, and will consequently yield about $200,000 more this year than in 1885. There is strong talk in Atlantic & Pacific circles of constructing a railroad from San Fernando through Santa Susanna oass and down throueh Simi, Los Posas and Santa Clara valleys to the ocean, at San Buenaventura. From the latter point it will probably be carried through Casitaß pass and Carpentaria valley to Santa Barbara, then up the coast. The Philadelphia American says: “The feature Tuesday was the gambler’s pet—the Philadelphia & Reading. This stock met a jag of old investment holdings and weak-margined emptyings that knocked it completely off its base during the afternoon trading. It went down 5£ percent, as though hit between the eyes by a Sullivan right-hander, and holders of the shares were soon tunning around in search of gastric balsam. ” The bright red smoke-stacks will soon disappear on the New York & New Haven road, and black be substituted. The reason for the change is said to be that engineers are taught, as one of the rudimentary principles in their dangerous calling, that rod always indicates danger, and that with red stacks a common sight, they would in time become indifferent to the warning given by this color, and the liability to accidents would be increased.

The Boston & Lowell company is a phenomenon. While it owns but about twenty-five miles of track, it controls, by lease or otherwise, about 700 miles, covering the entire White mountain region, with easy connections with Montreal and the Canadas. Its recent arrangement with the Canadian Pacific, by which that great corporation is to make a terminus at Boston, will give the Boston & Lowell an important Western connection. The sale of the Chicago & St. Louis railroad, running from Chicago to Peoria, has been practically agreed upon. The road was bought by a syndicate represented by Prank C. Holltns, of No. 11 Wall street, New York. It is generally known as the Hincklv road, and is capitalized at $3,000,000. It is generally believed that the purchase was made in the interest of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. but it cannot be ascertained whether this company or a private syndicate intends to operate it. Frank C. Hollingwas in Chicago ten days ago on this business, and the negotiations for its sale were carried on then with Mr. F. E. Hinckley, of Chicago. More Prosecutions of the Liquor League. There were no affidavits filed with the ’squires yesterday by the Liquor League. The warrants filed with ’Squire Smock on Tuesday were against Davis Millner. night clerk of the Journal, and Thomas Kelly, who drives a cart for Shellhouse & Cos., coal dealers. The affidavit against the former was sworn out by George W. Perdue, and charges that Mr. Millner followed his daily vocation on last Sunday, and gave a receipt for money for an advertisement. The affidavit against Mr. Kelly was sworn out by Willis Berry, and charges that Mr. Kelly followed his usual vocation on last Sunday by driving a coal cart and delivering a load of coal. The cases will come up for hearing some time next week. There were no more warrants in the hands of any of the constables, aud so far as the ’squires are informed there are no more forthcoming this week. “The Coca Beef Tonic of the Liebig Cos., combined as it is with coca, quinine, and iron, forms a most valuable adjunct to the practice of medicine. From the experience we have bad with it, we are forced to speak in favor of it, and to recommend its use Beef, iron, and qnhiine cannot be surpassed by any other three ingredients in or out of the dispensatory, for invigorating an enfeeblad system, and when such remedies can be obtained combined, from so reliable a house as Liebig’s, it behooves the profession to patronise the same te tfcefillest extent.’’—PrCf.

This body controls two degrees—ls° and 16°— which are the historical and traditional grades of the order. Thirty candidates were initiated under the guidance of Dr. Charles E. Wright, sovereign master, and Francis T. Holliday, master of ceremonies, who fully sustained the reputation of the council for excellent work. The musio was well rendered, especially the triumphal song, "Welcome, Zerrubabel.” At the close of the work in these degrees, Dr. WrighJ announced that the semi-annual reunion banquet would take place in the banquet-hall, to which the members and visitors to the number of four hundred immediately repaired. After the tables had been cleared, the following toasts were responded to: Address of welcome. Rev. E. J. Gantz; "Our Country,” Judge Allen Zollars; "The Grand Lodge of Free aud Accepted Masons of Indiana,” Past Grand Master M. H. Rice; "The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite,” Hon. U. Z. Wiley; "The Symbolism of Masonry,” Rev. Joseph S. Jenckes; "Ancient Craft Masonry,” Past Grand Master Albert P. Charles; "The Candidates,” W. E. Niblack; "Our Visitors:”‘‘The Southern Jurisdiction, A. and A. S. R.,” Hunter B. Jenkins, of St. Louis; "Michigan,” E. A. Armstrong, of Detroit; "Ohio,” George S. Phillips. Most of the responses were of a humorous nature, and were duly appreciated by the members and visitors. After the close of the banquet the work of conferring the philosophical and Christian grades was commenced in Indianapolis Chapter of Rose Croix. 17° and 18°, with Hon. Byron K. Elliott, M. W. and P. M., presiding, and Jacob W. Smith master of ceremonies. These degrees are conferred here with better effect than anywhere else in the country, and always test the capacity of the audience-room for the on-lookers. One of the chief aids in this work is the immense orgau of the Rite, which was skillfully handled by Prof. H. J. Schonacker. The vocal music was also better than usual, and showed great care in preparation. The pieces sung were the grand choral, "Tho’ now the Nations;” chant, "Woe, Woe, Woe;” solo and chorus, "The Mistakes of My Life,” solo by Mr. Blake; solos "Faith” and "Hope,” by Professor Belcher; "Charity,” by a quartet; song, "There Is a Green Hill.” by Professor Belcher: chorus, "Hosanna to God;” grand Rose Croix hymn; 6010 and song, "Child of the King,” by Mr. Blake, and the grand chorus, "Coronation,” by the lodge. About forty candidates received the Chapter degree. The work to-day in Indiana Consistory, S. P. R. S., will commence promptly at 10 o’clock A. M., continuing at 7 v. M., and will be in charge of Joseph W. Smith, commarider-in-chief, and John T.

Merchant Policeman Harnett Reprimanded. The Police Commissioners were in session yesterday afternoon. Patsy Harnett, Merchant policeman, was acquitted of the charges preferred against him, and was allowed to go with a reprimand. Trouble for the New MagUzine. New York Special. The possibility that The Centurv company may attempt to prevent, by injunction or some other legal process, the publication, next week, of the new periodical', Scribner’s Magazine, causes considerable comment, especially among literary men and tbe book trade. The position which The Century people seem to occupy is that the new publication will interfere with tiieir good will and injure them. On the other h*,nd, the Scribners assert that The Century Company did not buy the good will or the title, which, before the transfer of the stock, was Scnbuer's Monthly; that they do not own any trade mark in it, and cannot use it under the agreement made in May, 1881. The Scribners have declined to arbitrate the matter, saying that if The Century Company raise a legal issue, there will have to be a legal decision. “No More Suffocating."

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOEBNAt ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1887. The Indianapolis Journal has long enjoyed the distinction of being tho loading newspaper of Indiana, and occupies a position among the great journals of the country equalled by no other in the State. The experience of the past has clearly demonstrated the necessity for such a paper in this field. The Journal has spared no effort or expenso to give to the publie a wide-awake, aggressive newspaper, and it now comes before its readers better equipped to serve them than ever before, and with the assurance that the high standard of’excellence it now maintains shall not be lowered in the future. The near approach of the session of the National Congress and the State Legislature, and the important questions to be considered by both bodies, make a first class newspaper indispensable to every person. The Journal’s reports aud reviews of the proceedings of each will be full and accurate, prepared by its own correspondents and reporters. The work before the incoming Legislature will attract more attention than has been bestowed upon a like body in many years, and is of the most important character, involving, as it does, the election of a United States Senator, the government of the State institutions, and other matters of unusual interest. The Journal enjoys facilities for receiving and publishing tho news of the day in every way superior to those enjoyed by any other paper in Indiaua and equal to any in the country, being a member of both the great press associations, the reports of both the Western Associated and United Press being received *t its own office, aud presented to its readers to the fullest extent. The Journal is represented at Washington and New York, and other large cities, by tried and efficient correspondents of wide reputuation, who will furnish it. with full and extensive accounts of all matters of public interest. The vigilance of these correspondents is a guarantee that the readers of the Journal will be kept fully informed in all that goes to constitute the history of the period. In every town in Indiana, and such portions of adjoining States as are in its patronising field, the Journal is represented by a special correspondent, and great, care is taken to see that the news of this soction is given to the fullest extent possible. The city news will be given much more fully than by any other paper in Indianapolis, and reports of all occurrences will be presented with impartiality and completeness, by competent writers and news-gather-ers. Iu this department, as in all others, tho Journal challenges comparison. Particular attention will be given to its market reports, financial and commercial, and the attention of bankers, merchants, brokers and all others interested in the markets is invited to the Journal's columns. The excellence of these reports has long been reoognized; no other paper in Indiana bestows the attention upon this important department given by the Journal. The decisions of the Supreme and local courts will be carefully reviewed hy spooial reporters, and will be accurate and comprehensive. No attorney oan afford to be without these reports, as in no other way can he keep so fully informed and abreast of the times. In addition to its news features, the Journal has socured the services of some of the best known writers in the literary field, among them many of the favorite contributors to the leading magazines of the country, who will furnish regular features. Their writings will appear chiefly in the Sunday Journal, which, in point of excellence, has no rival in tho State and no superior in the country. No expenso will be spared to make it retain its advanced position among the best journals of the period.

THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL The weekly edition of the Journal is a complete compendium of the news of the week, with special features of literary and miscellaneous character, together with latest and most accurate market reports, and special departments devoted to agricultural, horticultural and household topics. It is under special charge of an experienced editor, and is prepared with intelligence and care. It is mailed to subscribers on the morning of its publication, and no time is lost in placing it in tho hands of its readers. Believing thoroughly that the interests of the Stats and Nation can be best subserved by a Republican administration, the Journal will heartily devote itsell to the championship of that party’s principles, and will do all in its power to compass Republican success. Its eyes shall not be blinded, however, by partisan bias, and it will not hesitate to criticise Republican wrong-doing wherever it may occur. TERMS.
