AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Personal and Local.

The directors of the Evansville & Tcrre Haute Eoad bave declared a dividend of 1 per cent. Tbe Bee-line will be in the market soon for V twenty first-class passenger and freight engines. The mother of M. S. Conners, master of transportation of the C., II. & I., died on Thursday, . at her home in North East, Pa. Tae Bee line has come very near earning ita per sent in the cast-bound pool, notwithstanding the fact that -it has strictly adhered to rates. The I., B. St W. come out flat-footed and say they will not enter into the agreement to stop the payment of commissions on tickets sold by agents reading over their lines.

The election of Judge Burke president of the Bee-line means more friendly relations between this road and the Hocking Valley, of which company Judge Burke is, as well, president. -jL. The local weighing association does not begin Ttbe new year under the most favorable circumstances. The L, P. & C. and the I., D. & S. de- , eline to act in cr.ison with, the association. .. This year tba Pennsylvania railroad received nearly 11.000 new cars and a proportionate number of locomotives, despite which it is still badly embarrassed and handicapped in handling freight. The L.. N. A. & C. road .earned the third week in December 132,508. Increase. over earnings corresponding week, 1885. $405. The road shows an increase in earniugs for the year of 1195,019. The excellent progress President Ingalls of the C. 1., St L. & C. is making in the exchanging of his 7 per cent bonds for a 4 per cent bond . is exciting favorable eommcnt in financial and railroad circles.

The Journal has good authority for stating

! that tb offered a, H.

that the vice-presidency of the Bee-line has been ed to C (j. Watte, general manager or the & D. lines, and he has its acceptance un-

V, dr consideration. f The Davton & Ironton road will, to-morrow,

"De converted from a narrow-guaee to a standard

ruapo road, ibis win place the u, ii. & u. in the list of coal-carrying roads, as it lets them into the Jackson coal mines. F. Hall has been appointed chief engineer of the L.. N. A. & C. road, the appointment to take effect to-day. Mr. Hall comes off of the Chicaeo & Alton road, and is said to be a very competent man for the position. General Superintendent Shaler, of theNypano, aas issued a circular announcing the appointment jof B. L. Babb as car accountant of the New mA Pennsylvania Ohio, and Buffalo & Sotrtn western railroads, with office at Cleveland. John McKenna, master mechanic of the I, D. & S. road, has tendered his resignation, and has been appointed master mechanic of the I., P. & C. road, headquarters at Peru, the position he held under the Malott management of the I., P. , & C. road. Lucius Tuttle, who retires to-day from the position of general passenger agent of the Boston & Lowell, to accept a similar position with the Canadian Pacific, was the recipient, "Wednes day, of a fine set of decorated china, the gift of his subordinates. Superintendent Woodard, of the L. , N. A. & C road, was in the city yesterday. He reports the business of the road as limited still by the eqnipraentR to move it, and he thinks the present year opens under more than ordinarily favorable conditions for railroad interests. It is stated that for the sake of harmony M. E. Ingalls, president ot the C I., St L. & C baa consented to have the "Big Four" per cent, in the east-bound pool out of Chicago reduced from G per cent, to 4 per cent, and 1 per cent to go to the Chicago & Atlantic voad, providing It will come into the pool and behave itself. An official of the I., P. & C. road says that necessarily their road must work under a close trams arrangement with the Wabash. This would seem hardly necessary as the I., P. & C in its most prosperous days worked its eastbound and west-bound throuch business through its connection with the Michigan Central road. 1 The agents of all the outside ticket offices have signed an agreement to close their offices at ti:30 P. AT., commencing with to-day. This move will put a 6tor to some sly cutting of rates which has been going on after dark. However, the roads which operate through scalpers as well as their outside offices will lose nothing by the move as the scalpers will not close their offices. The Pennsylvania Company's lines have adopted a system which will go into effect on Jan. 1, requiring the examination of the watches of all their trainmen, engineers, conductors, train dispatchers and flagmen, in short every one having anythinar to do with the runnine of trains. Bingham & Walk have contracted to do the work at this point for the year 18S7, and will attend to the watches of the J., M. & I., I. & V. and Panhandle men. The office of general superintendent of the A., IV & S. F. will be created and the position of superintendent of transportation abolished, taking effect Jan. 1, 1887, on which date D. J. Chase will be promoted to the position of general superintendent Mr. Chase has been with the Santa Fe about fire veitrs. He began his railroad career on the New York Central, where he served an apprenticeship of three years. He was with th'e Michigan Central for twenty-one years, and with the Burlington for two years. The finest private car ever built was finished and delivered by the PullmaQ Company on Christmas day. The car is owned by David H. Moffat, of Denver, president of the First National Bank of that city, formerly president of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and one of the wealthiest men in the West. It is richly equipped in upholstery, beddine, and table settings, and is provided with interchangeable sets of narrow and broad-gauge trucks, mounted on paper wheels. The car is to be used purely for private excursion trips. Joseph Sanger, secretary and treasurer of the Yard Masters' Mutual Benefit Association of the United States and Canada, returned yesterday from California after an absence of several weeks. While away he stopped at all the principal railroad centers on the Union and Central Pacific going out and those on the Southern Pacific and A., T. & S. F. returning, encouraging the members of the old lodges and establishing new ones. He anticipates grand results for the association from this trip among the boys, who received him wberevor he went in the most kindly manner. One of the most prosperous divisions of tbe association i3 No. GO, at San Francisco. Cal. If E. II. Scott is to be general manager of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road the first reform he should introduce, says an old railroader, is to instruct his aeents at all points to strictly maintain rates. Under the Wabash administration the habit has become so common that, as in the case of the Bee-line when Judge Burke took hold of it it will require him to take positive grounds in the matter. Judge Burke said to the freight men of the Bee-line: "I want rates strictly maintained, and the agent who cuts a rate may expect an immediate dismissal from the service of the company," and the grand result of this determined action on his part is shown in the handsome earnings of the road in the year just now closed, which were published in the Journal yesterday. . Officials of the Bee-line at this point, as well as the employes, were gratified over tbe announcement in yesterday's Journal that Judge Burke had been elected president of the company. The feeling with which tbe news was received in Cleveland by the officers of the coravany is shown in a note addressed to a friend in ibis city by one of the general officers of the company, in which ho ?t.ts: "News has just tome over the wires that Judge Burke has been olected president of these companies. The Judge it a success. lie is both wise and conservative; Jja? VZZaSZi hi? owji Jffvi; with consummate ability, and grown rich. No doQbt iie will manure the Bee line affairs successfully. " John T. Pye, attorney of the compsn, speaks in fully as complimentary terms of the telection. Shippers of perishable goods who wish for extra precautions have been in the habit of cutting a hole in the top of a freight car for a stove j,ipe, placing a Steve in one corner of the car, and keeping a man in attendance to preserve the temperature above Imzing point But these methods are primitive, and the Pennsylvania railroad has taken tbe initiative in supplyine a better method. The Easter heater, which it has Iust adopted, is fed by oil placed in a reservoir eneath the floor of the car. Through tubes the beated air is conveyed into the car, and by an automatic governor an even temperature can be preserved at any degree desired. The Pennsyl

vania railroad has already equipped two hundred freight cars with these heaters, and ordered four hundred more. They will be used first on the Fort Wayne and Panhandle roads west of Pittsburg. A Southern Indiana Railroad Project. Tbe Mount Vernon & Wabash Railway Company filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State yesterday. The object of the company is to construct a railroad .twelve miles in length, extending from Mount Vernon to some point on the Wabash river. The capital stock is $100,000, and the directors are C. A. Quitland. J. H. Parsons, Thomas S. Ridgeway. Wm. C Fisher, G. V. Menzies and . Daniel Rosenbaum. Of Interest to Shippers. At a meeting of the Indianapolis Joint Rate Association, all lines being represented, which was held at the pool commissioner's rooms yesterday morning, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That old forms of dray tickets and shipping orders will be received by all lines in this association, until the present supplies are exhausted: provided shippers stamp or write across the face. "Subject to the conditions of the company's bill of lading."

T. C. Moore Appointed Receiver Cooley 'g Agent. Chicago, Dec. 3L Judge Cooley, as receiver of the Wabash system east of the Mississippi river, has appointed T. C. Moore eeneral agent of the receiver, a position similar in its dutios to that of assistant to the president of the road. Mr. Moore has been the joint agent at Chicago, a number of years, for the truuk-line and central traffic pools. Judge Cooley offered to retain H. H. Wade as eeneral superintendent of the Wabash, and Mr. Knight as general freight agent, but tne former declined. Other well-known officials have been approached, but tbe uncertainty ol the situation has made them reluctant to accept In Judge Cooley's first order taking charge of the road. Assistant General Superintendent G. W. Stevens is named general superintendent, and all officers are ordered to report to him for instructions. Miscellaneous Notes. The Manchester locomotive works, within a few days, have received an order for thirty locomotives for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. The Michigan Central Railroad Company, in conjunction with another road and a navigation company, will build a $100,000 hotel at Mackinac island. The work will commence at once, and the house will be opened to the public July 1 next. In the event of the consolidation of the Fitchburg with the Troy & Greenfield, and afterward with the Troy '& Boston and the Boston. Housao Tunnel & Western, it is not improbable that the next move will be to push through a line to Buffalo. Early in the spring work will be commenced upon the Chicago, Kansas City & St Paul line, from Waterloo to Des Moines. The completion of this road will make the distance from St. Paul to Kansas City 515 miles. The present shortest route is 563 miles. The grading on the Freeport & Chicago line has all been done, and the track has been laid for a distance of forty-two miles. Fifty-two miles are yet to be laid to reach Freeport. This is expected to be done early in January, and as soon as the weather will permit work will be commenced on the line between Freeport and Dubuque. This will be finished early in the spriug. The completion of theline from Dubuque to Chicago will reduce the mileaee between St. Paul and Chicaeofrora 484 to 420 miles. The Northern Pacific people have been greatly gratified at the fact that the road recently had a special shipment of nine car-loads of bonded goods, which it transported from eastern and Canadian points to Taeoma, where tbey were to be taken to Victoria and other points in British Columbia. The shippers had evidently pre ferred sending their freight by way of the Northern Pacific in order to be saved f rom the delays that might happen through tbe blockades that occur on the Canadian Pacific C. S. Venner, who is the great objector to all the schemes for extension and expansion of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system, speakine of the Chicago and Kansas City project, said: "We propose to prevent the building of it. There is no need for such a line, and it would not prove a paying investment with five competitors in the field, the majority of whom would retaliate upon the Atchison by building into its territory. The talk about aline thirtyeight miles shorter than the present short line is not worthy of consideration." A new dining car is being built for the Michigan Central by the Pullman palace car works at Detroit. This car is intended to combine all the latest improvements found advisable after con siderable experience in tbe use of dining cars, which have now been nsed for some years on the Michingan Central The car will have only eight, instead of ten tables, as in the earlier cars: The tables will also be of unequal size, those on one side of the car seating only two persons, one each side of the table. Th isle will be some distance from the center of the car. so that the tables on one side can be made wider, and thus afford ample accommodation for two persons on each side, or four at each table. THE CITY IN BRIEF. The Tabernacle Church has sold its old chapel organ, and it was removed to Lafayette this week. Joseph Gasper has resigned his position with the fire department, to accept the chief clerkship of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company in this city. By the arrangement of the executive committee, the monthly meeting of the Indianapolis Ministers' Association is postponed from the 3d to the 10th of January. - Governor Gray yesterday paroled Charles McCain, alias Charles Harris, sentenced from Miami county in October, 18S5, to two years in the Michigan City penitentiary for grand larceny.

The young people, as well as ve.ry many persona Well advanced m years, have added their mites from time to time, and made the puzzle department a source of pleasure and profit to all its readers. The department has been in existence for a long time, and there seems to be the same interest manifested in it now as daring the first year of its life. There have, of course, been some chanaes with the friends who have sup ported it. Some have been compelled to relinquish their interest in the puzzles on account of other more important business, and some have been compelled to lay aside the pen forever. But the vacancies which have occurred in our ranks from time to time have been filled by new recruits, knd so the puzzle department has nourished and grown in favor with the Joursal readers.

are usually solved by very many of our readers, which Lt certainly very gratifying to the publishers of the Journal. We do not pretend to offer very expensive prizes for the solutions of the puzzles, still we think we have awarded such prizes as would be appreciated by the workers or the puzzles. At any rate, we always award all prizes won. and we hear of no complaint on the part of the winners in relation to tne same. With the beginning of the new year, we trust all our former supporters will resolve to give the puzzle department their best support, and endeavor to make it as good as any of its kind in the land. Let all con tribute liberally, and send us the solutions promptly, and they will receive the heartv thanks of the puzzle editor, and the publishers as well. We will take this opportunity to wish each - and every one of our friends, old and young, a happy New Year! Puzzle Editor. Foot Motes. We. Us & Co. We are verv thankful for the puz zles.

The running a close race with some one is all the fun there is in working the puzzles, I think. I do wonder if Dodo is a man or woman!" PERSONAL AXD SOCIETY. W. R.

In making this announcement we wish, to thank the public for their generous recognition, indorsement and very liberal patronage, all of which we try to merit by skillful work, reasonable fees and devotion to tbe welfare of our patients. It is a well-recognized fact that our methods are new, improved and for the most part painless; our preparation superior, practice unsurpassed, and our success beyond question.
