- AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal ami Local. The Union Depot train board yesterday was the cleanest of late trains of any day for two weeks past. Daring the day but one train was narked latr General Meager Hobart, of the Central Vermont Tailread, has so far recovered from his illness a to be able to ride out almost daily. Ho H . . has been confined to his house seventy days. Coburn & Jones have commenced removing the lumber from the south half of their yards,

nrATMirntfuv tn riving nn the erouud to the

r r ' c-- b r Union RAilway Company, which will lay sidef tracks ttereon as soon as they get possession. T E. II. Purse, general freight agefit of the

Rock Iiland railroad, has been missing from his home emce the 17th. His wife, who lives at Morgan Park, Chicago, is anxiously searching for him. Mr. Pursa has been mentally weak of late. J. II. Richards, vice-president and general manager of the St. Louis, Fort Scott & "Wichita Railroad Company, has been appointed receiver of that road bv Judge Brewer, of the Circuit Court of Kannw, with full power. He will take charge immediately. The Terre Ilauto & Peoria Railroad Company, which is a reorganization of the Illinois Midland Railway Company, completed its organization yesterday by electing 0. W. Fairbanks president; D. H. Conklin, vice-presiaent and treasurer, and Andrew Stevens secretary. ' Commissioner 6. R. Blanchard has issued a circular requesting the railways in the Central Traffic Association to observe the rule regarding t east-bound rates from the Pacific coast, recently adopted by the trunk line executive committee, and which is to take effect on Feb. L H. B. Hammond, president of the I., D. &. S., and George Bender, the superintendent, are ex- ' pected home from Omaha to-day, where they have been, with several capitalists, prospecting

ir as to an extension of the L, D. & S. system X through constructing a new link to connect with roads already built. f C. E. Henderson has been in Springfield, O.,

the greater part or the ween, settling witn tne . insurance companies for the losses arising from " the burning of their round-house and shops at that point, and in making preparations to rebuild the buildings ou a more extensive scale than were those burned. There is good authority for stating that the Baltimore & Ohio Express Company has about Concluded negotiation, which have been pending for some days, through which this company will soon place their messengers on all the divisions of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton system, which will again let the B. & O. express into Indianapolis with flying colors. A number of persons who have been carrying ptock of the Michigan Central road for many years have, in the last day or two. received no tice of the declaring of a 2 per cent dividend subject to their order. As it is now some five vears since this road has declared a divi dend, the parties holding the stock are agreeably Burpr.sed on receiving the notice. With the passage of the interstate commerce bill, says an observing business man and an exrailroader, Congress will needs turn their attention to passing a law which will protect Ameri-

- can roads against the Canadian lines, the man

agers of which are already boasting as to what . great advantages thev will secure through the taking effect of the provisions of this bill v For weeks past there has been a good deal of complaint of the scarcity of coal-cars for bring lng West the anthracite coals. Probably, did this class of freight pay as well as do other classes cars would be plenty, but the business public could nardly expect tne railroad companies to be hauling freight which pays only three mills per ton per mile hauled when the same cars could be used in hauling freight which pays six mills per ton per mile hauled. Robert T. Taylor, son of George M. Taylor, auditor of the Pennsylvania road, who was mar riedin Pittsburg, on Thursday, passed through the city yesterday on his bridal trip, traveling in a special car. His trip embraces St. Louis, San Francisco and southern California, with a finish ing touch at the expiration of the four honey months in Florida. The bridegroom is a mem ber or tne nrm or Lie wis, ilea Kir t st uo.t wnicn is

t the foremost in the glue manufacturing line in

V .Philadelphia.

' "Whether it will be necessary to continue the pooling associations with the passage of the interstate commerce bill is a problem that is worrying the friends of pools. The fact is that most of the canses for which pools were sprung are removed by the provisions of .the bill. They provide for publicity of rates: they prohibit dis criminations against persons, places and roads; they require an interval after the posting of rates before an advance can be made; they pro hibit rebates and devices of the kind. The C, II. & D. road earned, the second week in January, $40,401, increase over corresponding Week 188G, $1,570; the Evansville & Terre Haute earned $12,800, increase over corresponding week 18SG. $7,780; the Chicago & Eastern Illinois shows a very handsome increase, earning, the second week this month, $37,849, increase over earnings corresponding week last year, $7,215, The P., D. & E. as well, comes to the front with a very gratifying exhibit, earning, the second week of this month, $16,700. increase over earn ings corresponding week lboo, $7, 80. General Freight Agent Wilson, of the 'Penn eylvania road, says regarding the rumor that their lines are cutting rates: "There is cot so sauch trouble over east-bound freights as report sd. Some of the lines have cut rates, and the result has been to make .the companies bus nlcious of each other. It is wholly unnecessary, as all the roads are handling all the freight their facilities will allow, and much of the traffic has to await its turn. The trouble will soon be set tied. Usually a meeting of those interested is called, the charges disposed of, and a fresh start made. Probably this will be done in the present case." George H. Daniels, chairman of the central passenger-rate committee, has called a special meeting of the general passenger agents of all the lines interested, which includes all the lines ast of Chicago and St Louis and west of the western termini of the trunk lines, at the association rooms, Chicago, on the 27th of this month, when the question will be taken up as to what action these roads shall take regarding the Abrogation of second class rates by the South western lines. - It is also suggested that land rates and tickets be abolished, as the lines principally interested have disposed of most of their lands and tnere is no special reason for contin uing these rates. The station indicator invented by George T. Clark, a conductor on the Wabash, is in a fair way to come into general, use. At junction points especially is the device a valuable mode or giving information. To illustrate, when a train arrives at Peru, Ind., from the west, over the v abash, the indicator" vreuld distinctly read, 'Chanee cars for Indianapolis, Kokonio, MichiZtn (jitv and Detroit" By the employment of a device of this cnaraet? CASsengers are always advised in advance of the name of the next station ution the road, with bnt little trouble to the oraketiVft B1Hl without depending upon the oncertain "calls'' of the brakeman, which are often so indistinct that passengers are frequently car Tiea ueyona tneir uesiination. , it is siatea mai some or tne wnoiesaie men ra Vtdl Invorably impressed with the move of the railroads in favor of the commercial men, to whom it is proposed to furnish what is known as the week end tickets. The merchants fear that too much time will be loat in the going home and the returning to their respective fields. The more liberal-minded of the wholesale men say its a good thing, and they hope all roads will adopt this form of tickets. Its vain a to the railroads is yet to be tested. The Pennsylvania will keep a very close watch of the extent to which the tickets are used during the next four weeks. Each agent will report the number of tickets sold each Saturday, and from this data the Pennsylvania will compile a statement whict will probably be made public , The de.tlopraent of the coal mines In the southern part of the State last vear, and the J, reposed further development this year, promis well for the roads and the business interests of southern Indiana. Last year a number sf mines were opened on the Louisville, EvansFills & St Louts road and its branches. The jjfnildlng of the proposed railroad from Cannelten, by way of Tell City and Troy, to Gentry tile, cn the Air-line road, which ii eertain of o repletion daring the present year, will open a w and valnab!ecoa!-nM that baa heretofore weft fnaecessable, this field being of the best 'lock, and semi-block and cannel. The New

Albany Ledger says: "It is not unlikely that branch road will be built to the Cannelton road from St Meinrad,-where a very superior quality of coal is abundant, and these new roads would cause a complete development of the mines in Perry and Spencer counties." The owners of the lake craft are said to be in high glee over the prospects that the interstate commerce bill is to be a law of the land, as it means great prosperity to the water routes, and is the death-knell to inland cities and towns so far as to their hereafter being commercial

centers of any importance. It is stated that as soon as they can be built, 200 vessels will be added to the lake craft, especially adapted to carrying grain. The Southwestern manager of the Vaener Palace-car Company writes asking the Journal to "let up," as the saying is, on the unreliability of securing a berth on their cars when ordered, and adds that positive orders have been given the Cincinnati office to in no case sell the berths of their Boston and New York coaches, which are reserved for Indianapolis -passengers who take the 3:45 p. m. train out of Indianapolis, and no more trouble from this source need be apprehended. Investigation of the case alluded to the other day in the Journal proves that it was through the misunderstanding of a telegram or dering the berths. The Wagner eompanv intend to use the patrons of the Bee-line, over which their cars run, in such a manner as to make their cars popular with the travel between the West and New England and New York. An official of the Pennsylvania lines writes gham & Walk, who are to examine the watches of trainmen on the divisions of the system centering at Indianapolis, as follows: "I do not pretend to Know what particular make of watch keeps the best time nor what particular parts are necessary in a good time-piece. All I do say in the matter is this: Our rule requires the standard to be a watch that will not vary to exceed thirty seconds in one week's time. Now, if the watches our men are carrvine will come up to this standard I do not see that it makes any difference tons whether they are wooden watches or of the most extravagant makes. We expect you to decide whether or not the watches ottered come up to this standard, and if they do not all you need do is to reiect them in accord ance with the wording of our agreement" Paul Morton, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road, has just completed a general reorganization of this de partment Under the new deal the territory of C. W. Boardman, district passenger agent, headquarters Indianapolis, will be a3 follows: That portion of Illinois and Indiana west of and including the line of the L., N. A. & C, from Chicago to and including Indianapolis, and north of the I. & St. L. from Indianapolis to. but not including, St. Louis: eastof the Missisippi river. from St Louis to Burlington; south of the main d-of the C, B. & Q., from Burlington to Chi cago, and all lines intermediate excepting the line of the C. & A., from Roodhoase to Louisinnaaud the R. I. &P., from Galva to Peoria; also embracing that portion of Missouri north of the line of the C. & A. and W., St U. & P., from Louisiana to Kansas City via Mexico, excepting the C, B. & Q. and K C, St. J. & C. B. and the St K. & N. W. The territory CoL W. M. Shaw is to look after is as follows: West of the Indianapolis division of the C, H. & D., from and including Cincinnati to Indianapolis; south of and including the line of the I. & St L., from Indianapolis to, but not including, St Louis; east of the St. L, i Jl. & S. division of the M. P., from St Louis to Columbus, Ky.; east of the N., C. & St. L, from Columbus to Paducah junction, and north of the line of the'C, O. & h. W., from Paducab junction to and including Louisville, and thence on ahd including the Cin cinnati division of the L. & N., from Louisville to Cincinnati; also that portion of Missouri north of and including the M. P., from St. Louis to, but not including, Kansas City; south of and in cluding the lines of the W., St. L. & P. and C. & A., from Kansas City to Louisiana, Mo., via Mexico. Miscellaneous Notes. A Michigan Central train on the Canada Southern division, having on board a number of directors and officials, recently, ran from St Clair Junction to Windsor Dock, a distance of 107 miles, in ninetv-five minutes, being at the rate of 67 miles per hour. A syndicate of railroad men are planning the extension of the Shenango & Allegheny railroad from Greenville to Jamestown. At Greenville the road now connects with the Nypano and with the Erie & Pittsburg. By an extension to Jamestown a connection would be made with the Lake Shore road. The purchase of the Oregon & California by the Huntington interest will, it is stated, result within eighteen months, in the completion of the Oregon & California road to a junction with the Centra facific system at the California boundary, thhs opening the only through rail line between San Irancisco and Portland, Ore., tnat will probably ever be built The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce and the Sacramento Board of Trade are urging the Pacific roads to carrv out the wishes of fruit-growers of that S'ate for concessions in rates, chiefly the making of a ten-car-load lot of fruit a sufficient number of cars to run through ou passenger-train time, and at $300 per carload. To secure this rate now a train of twenty car-loads must be made up. Two new ronds were chartered Wednesday in Kansas. One road, the Kansas Valley, will be bnilt from a point near Kansas City west along the valley of Kansas to the western boundary of the State, and from thence to Denver, CoL The total capital stock of the company is placed at $10,000,000. The second mad is to be known as the Topeka. Blue Valley & Northwestern rail way, and will be buiit from lopeka to a point in Cheyenne county, with a branch from a point in - vvauounsee county to uiay uenter. The length' of this road will be about 500 miles, and its capital stock $10,0U0,000. IL A. Blood, the self elected, usurping presi dent of the Cleveland & Canton road, as theCorbin people put it, goes on as if in full control of the property, in spite of the Corbin syndicate and the courts. The first of May he will proba bly be brought up with a short turn, if the Corbin syndicate are not greatly in error, in his annual report to the stockholders of the Cleve land & Canton road, he recommends the widen ing of the road to standard gauge through the issue of a mortgage. He wants $500,000 for this purpose, $400,000 to buy equipment. $60,000 for additional coal wharves, and $830,000 to settle the terminal and equipment claims, making, all told, about $1,790,000. He recommends amortgage of two millions, at 5 per cent, to run thirty years, $1,800,000 to be issued immediately and $200,000 more when additional rolling-stock is required. Real Estate Transfers.

' THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. The Senate Discusses the Evils of the Liqaor Trafilo In the District of Colombia. Washington, Jan. 2L The presiding officer presented a communication from the President, with a letter from Samuel C Reed, offering to the Nation the sword of his father, Captain Reed, who commanded the privateer General Armstrong at the battle of Fayal. The President suggests that action be taken for the acceptance of the gift Ordered printed and laid on the table. Mr. Spooner was appointed on the committee on privileges and elections to fill the vacancy caused by the death of General Logan. Mr. Colquitt,'presenting a petition from the Womans' Christian Temperance Union, of the District of Columbia, said that he assumed no responsibility for the startling" facts revealed in the petition, hut he did answer for the pure motives and high character of those who laid it before the Senate. The petition was bold and aggressive, and challenged investigation of the facts. It was a plea which mothers and wives made to "this body of grave and reverend seignors" f or protection against such an excess of vice and lawlessness as should not only alarm but humiliate the Senate. They could never disregard the voice of Woman raised in behalf of social purity and public virtue. He asked that the petition be read at length and referred to the District committee. The petition was read. It char ges the Commissioners of the District of Columbia with disregarding the purity, safety

and moral interests and rights of the people and asserts that, in direct violation of law, they have been, for months past, permitting and protecting gambling halls, pool-rooms and drinking establishments, as well as dens of prostitution and vice, and giving numerous particulars. It charges that a house owned by one of the commissioners is used as an office by the agent of the Louisiana State lottery, and that Frank Hume, the president of the liquor-dealers' association, is a bondsman of one of the Commissioners. It therefore prays for a thorough investigation of the facts and for the proper enforcement of law and protection of homes within the District Mr. Hawley remarked that the petition just read was a tremendous indictment and a shocking revelation, and he suggested that Mr. Colquitt should accompany it with a resolution calling for an immediate and severe investigation. Mr. Colquitt said he did not feel it incumbent on him to make any suggestion to tne commit tee. He did not doubt that the committee would be in full sympathy with any movement to redress these heinous offenses, and would suggest proper measures of redress. Mr. Ingalls, chairman of the District committee, said that the allegations presented in the petition had long engaged the attention of the committee. There was no doubt that there was a very great violation, not only of law, but of moral and social order, in connection with these transactions. Licenses had been granted in violation of statutory provisions. But in order that the Senate and the country might understand that the district committee had neither been oblivious nor neglectful of these matters, he felt it his duty to call attention to the fact that, on Feb. 4, 188G, he had introduced a bill regulating the sale of distilled and fermented liquors in the district, and that on the 19th of the same month that bill had been reported, by the committee, and had subsequently passed the Senate. That bill was now before the district committee of the House, If the other branch of Congress had been as diligent as the Senate had been, one great cause of complaint, as set forth in the petition, would have been removed. The bill was read at length. It requires a liquor license fee of $300. Mr. Piatt said that while he regarded a highlicense law as proper, he preferred a prohibitory law, and he had intended to offer a prohibitory law a? as a substitute for the bill, but had been unavoidably absent, on account of sickness, when that bill was before the Senate. The petition was then referred to the committee on the District of Columbia. Numerous petitions were presented by several Senators for an amendment of the oleomargarine law and for repeal of the internal revenue laws, and were referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Brown offered a r-elution, which was adopted, requesting the President to communicate to the Senate copies of all correspondence with the government of Mexico in regard to the seizure and sale of the American schooner Rebecca, in the port of Tamico; also, copies of all correspondence between the State Department and the late Minister Jackson, with Mr. Jack son's letter to the President on the subject of his resignation. Mr. Edmunds gave notice, on behalf of the committee on foreign relations, that to-morrow, immediately after the completion of the strict morning business, he would ask the Senate to consider the bill respecting the protection 'of American fishermen, which he had reported the other day. Subsequently, however, the Senate agreed to adiourn over till Monday. A motion to reconsider the vote to adjourn was made and defeated yeas, 21, nays 23. The Senate then went into secret session, and when the doors were reopened adjourned till Monday. The House Passes the Interstate Bill. Washington, Jap. 2L After the reading of the journal the Speaker Btated that the regular order was the vote upon the adoption of the conference report on the interstate commerce MIL ; Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, asked unanimous consent to have a separate vote upon the fourth section; and Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, asked to have a separate vote on the commission feature, but Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, objected to both requests. Mr. Dunham, of Illinois, moved to recommit the bill to the conference committee, and Mr. Crisp raised a point ol order against that mo tion. The Speaker knew of no rule which author ized the recommittal of a conference report, and sustained the point or order. Mr. O'Neil, of Pennsylvania, inquired whether there was any parliamentary proceeding by which those gentlemen who were embarrassed by having to vote for or against an important bill without having an opportunity to divest it of its 'objectionable features, could be relieved of that embarrassment, but no suggestion to that end was made, and the vote was taken on adopting the conference report It was agreed to yeas 219, nays 4L. Those voting in the negative were: Allen (Mass.), Anderson (O.), Bliss, Boutelle, Dibble, Ely, Evans, Felton, Findlay, Frederick, ' Gay, Gilflllan, Grosvenor, Hayden, Hill, John son (fi. Y. ), Kelly, Ketcbam, Liboy, Long, Markham, Martin, McKenna, Miller, Morrow, Oates. O'Neil Penn.). O'Neill (Mo.). Kanney.

Mr. (Jrisp, of Georgia, from the committee on eommefce, reported back the resolution request ing the Secretary of the Treasury to make inquiry of contractors for building of passenger cars and steamboats, and any other persons he may think capable of giving information on the subject, of the best methods of constructing and heating the same. Adopted. Mr. Belmont, of New York, offered the following resolution, which was referred to the com mittee on foreign affairs: That the President be requested to transmifto the House copies of such correspondence, up to the present day. between this srovernment and the British gov ernment, as he may decide ean now pronerly be made public, in regard to the deprivation inflicted in Cana dian ports ot American tuning vessels having the right to touch and trade, of the liberty heretofore enjoyed by such vessels to enter Canadian ports open to foreign vessels, ana buy and sell, and to transmit merchandise therein, and which is permitted in such ports to American trading vessels and to vessels of au other nationalities. Mr. Skinner, of North Carolina, presented the conference report upon the bill for the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians, and it was agreed to. . . . Mr. Baser, of New York, from the committee on Territories, reported a bill fop the appoint ment of an additional justice of the Supreme Court th Wyoming Territory. Referred to the committee of the whole. The House then proceeded to consideration of private business. The whole afternoon waa spent in discussing,

In committee of the whole, two Senate private bills, but no final action was taken, and the House took a recess until 7:80, the evening session to be for the consideration of pension bills. At its evening session, the House passed twenty pension bills, including one granting a pension of. $50 a month to the widow of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher, and at 10:20 adjourned until to-morrow.

WOMEN OF THE CIVIL WAR. Mrs. McKay's Lectnre to the Yonng People at Pljinouth Church Yesterday Afternoon. The lecture of Mrs. Martha N. McKay in the young people's historical course, delivered at Plymouth Church yesterday afternoon, was attended by a large audience of school children. Her subject was "Women of the Civil War," and it was her simple unpretentious treatment which made it interesting to the audience. She said that foreshadowing the civil war5, the anti-slavery war was waged unceasingly for thirty years. She made mention of the women who were prominent advocates of abolition. Among them were Lydia Maria Child and Abbie May Kelly, who, when Penn Hall was burned in 1834. dedicated her life to the anti-slavery cause. The heroism of these women, and of others was scarcely equaled' In the civil war. The women of Cleveland were the first to organize a soldiers' aid socisfcy, and their example was followed rapidly by a number of other cities. Sootr these societies were absdrbed iu the United States Sanitary Gotamisgion. The women of the North planned ftnd operated all kinds of schemes for obtaining pioney for tbe soldiers, among these being the establishment of the great sanitary fairs, the first one of which was held in Chicago, being inspired by Mary A. Livermore. Soon after Mrs. Mendenhall, of Cincinnati, called upon the women of, Inaiana and Ohio for assistance in establishing a fair there, and the prompt responses rendered the whole thing successful. Members of the commission who went to the war as nurses first met with little encouragement from the surgeons, but the latter afterward heartily indorsed the idea. She paid a high tribute to Clara Barton, of Red Cross fame, and also spoke of Mrs. Gibbons as one of the most heroic and self-sacrificing women of the war. The next lecture in this course will be deliv ered next Friday, by Capt'Eli F. Ritter, on " ine ueorgia Campaign of 1804." IN SESSI0x SEVENTEEN MINUTES. The School Board, in the Absence of Commis sioner Frenzel, Does Its Work Quickly. The Holrn.an of the School Board, Commis sioner renzel, was not present at the session last night, and consequently the session lasted but seventeen minutes. Seven of the commis sioners were present when the roll was called, and Commissioner Baker, who arrived a little late, just had time to take his overcoat off before adjournment Commissioner Kline stated that, as he had been absent at the special session last week,-he wished to be recorded as voting in favor of tbe report of the ways and means com mittee. Commissioner GreenBtreet reported that the finance and auditing committee had ex. amined bills to the amount of $1,845.89, and the board concurred in the recommendation to pay them. He also reported a resolution that the secretary be instructed to draw a warrant dated Jan. 31, 1887, for $05,000 payable to Hiram W. Miller, which was adopted. The Chair reported that he had appointed Commissioners Greenstreet, Dean, Bingham and Jameson as the legislative committee proposed at the special meet ing. The Belection of tbe ball for the coming mid-year graduating exercises of the Highschool was left with that committee. THE COURT REC0ED. United States District Court. Hon. W. A. Woods, Judge.

"It appears to me that the people are losing sight of the election frauds perpetrated in this county, since the (meeting of the General Assembly," said a prominent citizen yesterday. "It is to be hoped that whatever may be Judge Gresham's decision, the guilty parties will be brought to justice. There were some people who were silly enough to believe that no fraud had been committed, but the recount of the votes in the Irvin-Ayres case settles that ques tion. The tally-sheets were changed, and it will be an everlasting disgrace if the thieves are not apprehended. Justice has been partly done in giving Irvin and Wagner their offices. Now let it be fully administered by sending to the peni tentiary the scoundrels who changed the tallies.'
