AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Personal and Local. J. W. Hewitt has been appointed assistant auditor f the Bee-line. The Yandalia, in the year 188G, brought iato this station, 12,131 car-loads of block coal. If. F. Kenyan, with the D.. L. & W. road, at Buffalo, N. Y., is spending a few days with friends in this city. 1). J. Whitcomb, superintendent of the Union Hailway Company, is much better, and will be out again in a day or two. Col. William Shaw has been appointed southeastern traveling passenger agent of theC.B. & with headquarters at Cincinnati Bejamin Norton, assistant superintendent of th Long Island railroad, has beeu appointed general traffic manager, vice Charles M. Heald. J. F. Huber has been appointed acting master mechanic of the I., D. & S. road vice John WcKenna, resigned to go with the I., P. & C. road. The side-track capacity of the Belt road has b'en increased 3,500 feet of late, wnich will rnnkethe- handling of the stock trains on the "West Side much more satisfactory. In the year 188G the Indianapolis & Vincennes added eight miles" of branch to its main line, making thirteen miles of coal branch road that has bean built in the last eighteen months. A demurrage charge of fifty cents is to be put upon all coal cars of the Reading Coal & Iron Company detained twenty-four hours after delivery. Here is a pointer for agents of Indian apo'.is roads. Judpe Burke, recently elected president of the Beiine, in his early days of railroading was superintendent of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chita co road, and the engine named after him is utiil in service on this road. W. J. Byers, baggage-master on trains Nos. $3 and 34, running between Indianapolis and j&Jichigan City, over the I., P. & C. road, in the year 1380 handled 7,275 pieces of baegage.and collected as excess on such baggage $153. This year the Pennsylvania people will do a ood deal in the way of replacing the iron rail on the Indianapolis & Vincennes road with steel rail. Of the 117 miles of main line eeventy'dight miles is now iron, although of a superior .uality. George L. Conner has teen appointed general nasgengerand ticket agent of the Old Colony railroad, vice Jacob Sprague, jr., transferred. Jacob Sprague, jr., is appointed auditor of paseenger accounts of the Old Colony railroad and Old Colony steamboat companies, with head quarters at Boston. The many friends of General Manager J. W. Tlobart, of the Central Vermont railroad, will learn with pleasure that he is considered to be out of danger and on the road to recovery. Mr. Hobart has been confined to the house some eight weeks with a serious attack of typhoid pneumonia, and at times has been in a precari -oub condition. Sam Snow, general passenger agent of the Chicago & Atlantic road, was yesterday appointed general passenger agent of the Wabash, -and K. H. Wade has accepted the position of general superintendent The understanding seems to be that no general manager will be ap pointed, and that the duties will be performed by judge Cooley, receiver. Assistant Paymaster George H. James, of the Boston & Albany, has received a reward of $500 from the directors for his bravery in stopping the psy-car and engine, the latter having been start ed by the force of a collision in the absence of the engineer. Mr. James, although injured by the collision, climbed over the teader and stopped the engine. The affair occurred last September. In a description of the new men in the direct cry of the New York & New England Road, the Boston Advertiser speaks of II. V. New amb as being a Wall-street operator, while out , AVest he is known as the "boy president, as he was the nrfct man who brought the Louisville fc Nashville into prominence, surprising the busi ness wona, ne, at the time, oeing so young a business man and so little known. ' Humors are current of important official changes with the American. Express Company Among other things H. S. Julier, it is stated, is to be made general manager, with headquarters at New York, and R. D. Hashes is to be made j-uperintenaeaj; of tneumo.snd Indiana mviaiona. Changes at this point are also intimated, but all riiraors alluded to above when traced -down seem to have been a slate which the mes sengers have got up. An impression is abroad that the Wabash syn dicate is in some manner responsible for the de lay in reorganizing the Indianapolis, Peru& Chieapo Railroad Company. This is a mistake, the fault is with the court, which has not yet turned the property over to the purchasers. Vm. F. Tishback, master in chancery, will, on the 9th of this month, go to New York, and the transfer f the property to the purchasers will thon be made and the reorganization perfected without further delay. The Pennsylvania people have under consideration changing the time of their early train out of Indianapolis. It is proposed to start it out of St Louis over the Yandalia later and have the train leave Indianapolis at 5:40 A. M , instead of 4:iu, as under the present arrange rnent The time of tho train between Indian apolis and Columbus will be shortened one hour and ten minutes, so that Columbus will be reached as early as under the present running arrangement ' '1 he general passenger agents of competing lines ot the and an are. endeavoring to solve the problem how tickets can be sold reading over that line, the Missouri Pacific and its Western connections at $1.25 per ticket below the rate to San Francisco from St. Louis, proper. Or. in other words, how can this line sell tickets to ban 1 rancisco from this point at $40 when the rate is $41.25 from St. Louis to San. Francisco. The bouthweotern lines are supposed to main tain their arbitrary rates west of the river. rihe stockholders of the Belt road and stock yards hold their annual meeting to day. The unal 3 per cent dividend will be declared. The business of the yards in the year ;18SG was quite eaiisractory. uonsiaeraoie was done in the way of minor and needed improvements, and the yards, both as to track room and feeding and resting facilities, never before were in as good chape as now. 1 here are now Eastern buvers Jiere from all the most important markets, and the prospects for business at the yards with the opening of the new year are very promising. There wore handled at the Uuion Depot in the year in Mi 4.$j, 3, pieces of baggage; of this num ber 114,131 were checked out from Indianapolis proper. This immense pile of baggage was handled by a force of seventeen men, .and to the treat credit of the manacement of this department, of this vast number of pieces, not one was t ion during the year. Johnny Ferguson, general tagcagemaBter, has so systematized matters that such tilings are not likely to occur. Since li wii8 appointed to the position there has been a nanusome increase in receipts from excees bag gage. lhe reorganization committee of the Lake Jirte & Western railway have issued a circular ftnnounoing that they will make up their accounts and make a general report as soon as the ale ol the property, on Dec. 14, to Samuel T homas, is confirmed. The first mortgage bond holders on tne throe divisions of the road win receive the fall amount of the bonds and accrued coupons, with interest lhe committee will make, arrangements for the return of the assessment on the stock, or such other disposition as the stockholders may direct Thia practically ends the existence of the committee. Charles E. Grover, division superintendent of the Boston & Albany railroad, died at his home in Springfield, on Sunday, having been sick with typhoid pneumonia less than a week. He ras forty years old and a native of Worcester, here lie began working for the railroad as a Vater-boy, passing through the different grades service. For some time he was station agent fit South 1'ramingham, and went to Springfield s division superintendent 6ix years ago. He jiad charge of the line between Worcester and I'lttefield, and also of the Ware River and Athol iiraticLes. He was one of the road's most faithful officials. Leslie P. Farmer, for the last five years the ?ew England passenger agent of the Pennsylvania railroad, who, Jan. 1, took the position of Ft Certl passenger agent of the New York, Lake Jlrie ci Western railway, before leaving Boston, en Saturday last, was summoned to Young's Hotel, and. on entering Room 12. be was sur0. Vrised to And himself surrounded by about fifty railroad men. Waldo A. Pearco. of the Assoklatsil Railways of Virginia, on behalf of thoae

assembled, presented to Mr. Farmer a fine game set of thirteen pieces in china, beautifully decorated, and a handsome extension lamp. After a luncheon had been served, the party sang "Auld Lang Syne" before separating. Conductors on the Boston & Providence railroad appeared, Jan. 1, in new uniforms. A gilt bar on the lapel of the coat indicates five years' service, and Mr. Boyd, of Dedham, the oldest conductor of the road, has eight of these bars and soon will be entitled to another. The 6uits are paid for by the corporation.

Good Times in Storo for the Railroads. The conditions under which the year 1887 opens are certainly favorable to railroad interests. Present indications are that the immense traffic of September, October, November and December last will be more than outdone in January, February, March and April of thia year, and the railroad managers will be too busy in taking care of their business to fight about rates, pools or no pools. The railroads of the country are nearly all in admirable condition, both materially and financially. The reports of earnings show that for the last half of 188G the incomes of the Northern and Western roads increased 17 to 22 per cent, the great trunk lines 20 per cent, and the Southern systems 12 to 35 per cent This increased income has to a great extent been expended in improvements, in new rails, new equipment, new buildings and greater terminal facilities, the major part ot these bet terments being charged to current expenses and not to capital. The reorganization, reconstruction and consol idation of a number of roads, especially in the South, is another feature that will be found of great importance in giving more substantial value to railroad properties. The restoration of credit and the unification of many local lines into compact transportation systems are an element of the situation that needs to bo highly estimated in calculations for the future. The n. & O. Still Shut Out of New York. The Baltimore & Ohio have not yet been able to make arrangements for through traffic to New York. Two trains take freight daily to Park Junction, where the Reading put on their locomotives and complete the journey to New York. It is extremely unsatisfactory to the new line, and the discontent at the Reading's unwillingness, as the former characterizes it, to make a schedule may develop into open rebellion. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: The Pennsylvania railroad have made no new overtures for the Baltimore & Ohio's traffic, but expect eventually to get some of it One of the officials said yesterday: "We have a complete equip ment for the handling of all kinds of freight, which we have been building up for years. Take the important item of live stock. It will cost the other companies $1,500,000 to fit up proper terminals for tnls traffic, whereas we have abattoirs and stockyards of the most complete description already built A connection with the Baltimore & Ohio could be easily made by the Pennsylvania railroad at Grav's" Ferrv or Wilmington in fact, almost anywhere. How ever, we are resting on our oars. The Baltimore & Ohio thoueht it could do better than our offer. It is said to be in a good deal of trouble." Reaching Out to the Northwest. It is rumored, and, seemingly, with founda tion, that the Illinois Central railroad is seeking an outlet for its western extension. The road has had engineers looking over the ground be tween Yankton and Sioux City, where their system now terminates. It is not surprising that a movementrof this kind should be under consideration when it is stated that, although the terminus of this great line is at Sioux City on the very border or the lerntory it does not carry a pound of Dakota freight It has been eighteen years since the Illinois Central built into bioux City. At that time there was not a foot of railroad in Dakota; but since that time, and while this road has been apparently asleep, other giant corporations have invaded the Territory, until now the whole country is spanned with roads, which completely cut off the Illinois Central traffic. Reorganization of the Lake J3rle & Western. IMeieon Kobinson has issued a notice stating that General Thomas, purchaser of Lake Erie & esiern, nas agreea to sea tne property to a new company to be formed, called the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company, whose line will extend from Sandusky, O.. to Peoria. 111.. 430 miies, and which will issue the following securities: $4,300,000 first-mortgage, gold five-per cent, fifty-year bonds, being at the rate of $10. 000 per mile; $3,600,000 preferred stock, being at the rate of $20,000 per mile; $8,600,000 common stock, being at the rate of $20,000 per mile. All old securities have been extinguished bv sale. and will receive their respective portions of pur chase money from the officers of the court The present car trusts will be paid off, leaving the property free from lien, except as above. A Victory for the Vanderbilts. Cleveland, O., Jan. 3. Judges J. M. Jones and E. T. Hamilton, decided the big Niokelplate railroad case this morning. Suit was brought against the New York, Chicago. & St Louis Railroad Company by the Union Trust Company of New York, trustees for the second mortgage bondholders, for $10,000,000. Tho court held that the first mortgage held bv the Central Trust Company as trustees was illegal, and that tho bondholders under that mortgage are general creditors to the amount of $15,000,WO. 1 he court also ordered the sale of the road under the second mortgage, which amounts to $10,000,000. The validity of the car trust cer tificates, amounting to $4,000,000, was affirmed, and a separate sale of the equipments under these certificates was ordered. It was claimed that the consolidation of five State corporations Into the Nickel plate was illegal. The court de clared that the consolidation was illegal in two respects, but the corporation was a corporation de facto and had a leeal right to execute the mortgages. It was also held that neither the juaKe nnore iviicnigan routnern railway nor the judgment creditors of the Nickel-plate have liens by virtue of their judgments, and their only interest is as creditors to the extent of their judgments. The decision is a Vanderbilt victory, and will be appealed. Suits Against James McIIenry. Cleveland, O., Jan. 3. James McIIenry, the English operator in American railroads, was sued here to-day by James L. Montgomery, who claims that McHenry owes the firm of Barlow, Larosque & McFarland, of New York, $62,000 for legal services; that Mellenry owes Samuel li. m. nariow ifou.uuo for having assisted the Londoner in purchasing a big oiocK or Cleveland, coiumous, Cincinnati & Indianapolis railway stock; that McHenry owes rariow sv.uuu ior otner services in con nection with the reorganization of the Pit-hole Railway Company, and that Mellenry owes the same lawyer $J,WU for other lezal services. All these claims were assigned to Montgomery ror collection. aiontgomery also represents Charles Day, who has a bill agatnat McHenry amounting to $21,000. The New York. Lake Erie Sr W estern Railroad Company also began suit against Slcllenry in thebouthern district of New ork, i.-. 1883. To secure payment of all these claims McHenry's property in this city was attached. Receiver Cooley'e Staff. Chicago, Jan. 3.

December phows a very considerable increase in fire losses over November, and 1386 exhibits the heaviest loss record of any twelve months during the last ten years. The total losses re ported in the United States for the month, as shown by Rough Notes tables, amount to $10, 199,848; Canada losses, $433,000; total, $10,632, 848. To these losses Indiana contributed $185, 4G0; Illinois, $827,850; Ohio, $551,925. If to tota losses 35 per cent is added for losses less than $10,000 not reported, the grand total is $11,729, 824 fire waste for the month in the United States, and $12,152,824 in the United States and Canada. This brings the fire losses of the year in the United States and Canada up to $117,000 000, in round numbers. Compared with former years, and taking into account the rapid increase t i . . - in weaun, mis loss is not excessive, and the insurance loss to companies is cot likely to prove unusuauy severe. Deserted Her Husband for a Negro. It developed yesterday that the white woman living illegally, in Independence, Kan., with the Colored man Welch, is the wife of Henry Wag ner, who is employed in the cooper shop of George Wood. Mrs. Wagner left home for. In dependence three weeks ago, ostensibly for the purpose of taking a position as a pastry cook in the Gallagher House in that city. It appears that 6he gave this excuse for her going as bund, and had made arrangements to meet Welch there. Mr. Wagner is a hard-working cooper, and had no Intimation of his wife' actions until he read of them in yesterday1 Journal. He heard from her every day after she first arrived there, and has sent her money three times at her request Last week he failed to hear from her, and for that reason he sent tb telegram which was published yesterday.

Doings of the Knights and the UnionistsIndustrial Notes of Interest to All. Philadalpbla Record. The Federation of Trades-unions includes 24,000 cigar-makers, 22.000 brick-layers, 40,000 coal-miners, zu.uuo printers, 2,000 iroa-molders, and 30.000 carpenters and joiners. London capitalists have had their faith in American mining properties much strengthened of late, and their agents in this country have given out large contracts for machinery to be erected at the mines this season. Forty-four print-cloth manufacturing establishments, embracing oneeeventh of all the spindles in the United States, and representing $30,000,000 in capital, manufacturing one-half of all the print cloths in the United States, line the course oi i an river. The projected enterprises for 1S37 will absorb an enormous amount of industrial capital Profits have been fair in the iron and steel industries, and but little money will be borrowed. Capital ists are ready to loan money when asked, but ViaVA ltftlo inlrifitlnn m luit if There are fifteen steel-rail mills in the United States having 295 converters. The Steelton mill is the largest; the next two are the Edgar Thom son, near nttsbarg, and tbe North Chieago. New Bessemer mills are projected and the ironmating capacity will be largely increased. The domestic consumption of copper during 18S6 was 118,000,000 pounds, or 26 per cent over the consumption of 188a. There is much more uncertainty as to the future of the copper in dustry than ever. The increased European activity is expected to create a large demand. The building trndes throughout the United States have just closed an exceptionally pros perous year. Taking into account the nine-hour day and the higher wages paid, the building trades have been from 15 to 20 per cent, better oil mil last ear tbau la im The leaders ol

the various branches are now com paring notes with a view of forming some sort of co operativo effort to harmoniously adjust questions of wages and hours of labor for the coming year. A company will spend $500,000 in-Ashland. Ky., to turn cut saws to cut marble and granite. A Dubuque concern has just shipped a car-load of harrows to St Petersburg. Several Western car works are about to increase their capacity because of the unprecedented rush of orders for rolling stock. An English firm has just sent an order by cable to a Hartford firm for fifty automatic screw machines. The largest locomotive boiler ever built, so it is said, weighs nine tons and has 1,202 square teet of heating surface; giving 186 horse-power. It will be used in New York to generate steam for dynamos in the New York postoffice. ' The co-operative movement is taking fresh hold in Italy, and the leaders of the movement have been encouraged to render all possible assistance to the Italian workingmen. The glassworkers started a movement, and 20 per cent of the net profits of each concern is set apart for educational purposes. There are over 300 societies in alL Jobbers and manufacturers all agree that the per capita traffic in merchandise for the current

year will be unprecedentedly large. It seems to 1 be pretty generally understood that the stocks in second hands are extremely light This is true, because dealers have been buying in a very moderate Way for a year or more. Traveling agents have endeavored in vain to induce retailers throughout the country to stock up, Jidavuy. j S. There is a flood of literature on architecture and building matters. There is a flood of patents, also. The literature is in active demand not only by architects and builders, but by all the varied interests directly and indirectly connected with building. Most of the new writers are Americans, but nearly all of them are welltraveled, and prove themselves to be faithful students of the history of architecture and building. The Cincinnati boot and shoe manufacturers, like the Philadelphia textile manufacturers, have been busy for several days trying to adjust wages and other questions with their workmen, so that there will be no strikes this year. The disposition is exhibited among employers generally to make terms far ahead, and in some recent negotiations which have come to light they have manifested a great deal of liberality as to compensation. The seven eo-operative barrel factories in Minneapolis are doing a business of $1,000,000 per annum. The Olean co-operators in New York expect soon to be atle to put 1,200 barrels q oil on the market weekly. The Baltimore fqrniture manufacturers are after the co-operators there with a sharp stick, and propose to reduce their workmen in order to eut their competitors. The shirt-lroners in New York will start a co-operative laundry and the tailors will start a co-operative shop. The western Pennsylvania coke-makers would advance tbe price of coke were it not that tbe wages would advance also. Three national glass manufacturers' associations will meet at the Riggs House, Washington: The vial-makers on the 12th. the window-glass-makers cn the 13th and the Flint-glass Association on the 14th. A flint-glass factory is to be started in Denver, Col. As nearly all the flint-glass used in California comes from Pittsburg, it is likely that this concern will absorb some of that trade. The workingmen of the United States have for years been urged to enter the field of politics in order to better their condition. After they have done so and have exhausted that remedy, they will be surprised to find how little permanent benefit hag been derived and how much genuine reform they have left undone. The real and abiding benefit of labor agitation and organiza tion is the reflex action on each individual brought about by association and the mental and moral actiyities which organization sets into action. Labor will be much more generally employed during the coming winter than last and wages will continue at the summer rate. In view of the possibility of an advance in wages pext spring, and threatened strikes, builders in all of the large cities are preparing to crowd through just as much work as they possibly can in order tha$ they may be better able to meet the spring difficulties when they come. The plumb ers will probably want more wages. Stonemasons seem satisfied. The brick-layers in New xom and two or three large Western cities will ask for either more wages or one hoar 1$: work. The jewelers have had something like a "mull Doom during tne past Ave months. The rrnufacturers have been pursuing a conservative policy for ayear.or two, carrying light stocks and venturing very little beyond the limit of actual orders received. Partly on this account the im portation of European and English jewelry has increased, and this fact has reacted in turn upon the American manufacturers of jeweiry, and since the demand has improved they have gone anead and are now surpassing their foreign com petitors in many directions wherein they have heretofore yielded the honor to the other side. The watch factories are turning oat larger Quan tities of goods than they ever have, and the quality, or at least the price, of goods is high, be cause a better class of goods is wanted. A good many lukewarm workingmen are com plaining that they have been dragged into organ izationa during the past year or two through ex citement or ovennducement or through the exaggerated anticipation of benefits. A considerable percentage of this class has not exactly dropped out of the organization, but is staying away, thus preparing the way far a permanent msassociation. ice comtng together of the old trades-union organizations with their more con servatlve metbods and ideas has led a great many outsiders ana more or less lukewarm in siders in the Knights to feel some degree of doubt as to the superiority of their methods oyer others. Still tbey are not unfaithful to the principles of their organization, but seeing a half million conscientious men standin nf tar t.ha principles of traces-unionism they naturally infer that there are vlrtaes in other organizations besides their own. All He Gave, Pittsbura Dispatch. A gentleman, noted for his pomposity and os tentation, was conversing with great dignity witn a numoer or ptaers, une Question or heln ing the poor was the subject under discussion, ana tne gentleman waxed eloquent upon it "Their poverty may be due to misfortune solely. Often, However, it is dne to vice. But whatever the cause, I have nothing but sympa thy for them." "So I haye been told," dryly remarked one of the other gentlemen of the party. Could Be Trusted.

Marriages among the English nobility should be announced by cards bearing the inscription: "Lord and Lady So-and-So, Limited." Thk nineteenth century has been prolifio in discoveries and inventions for the amelioration of suffering mankind, as well as the useful arts and ecienees. We live in a f aster age, therefore require more and better facilities than they did in olden times, which has stimulated our inventive genius to tbe fullest extent The medicine which our grandparents used would not be considered of value iu tbe treatment of disease of the present time. The discovery of QoocU's Mexican Syrnp was the result of the need ot a more active and certain cure for coughs, consumption, pain in the breast and all thedise&res of the throat and lungs.
