AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Personal and Local. There were transferred over the Belt road last week 10.326 cars. Belt road engines handled 7G0 car-loads of live stock. The directors of the Illinois Central road have declared a dividend of 31 per cent, cash, payable March 1. The transfer-books close Feb. 10. The fire Eastern lines this week forwarded from this point 3.842 loaded cars; increase over number forwarded in tho week preceding, 345 cars. The governing committee of the New York Stock Exchange has listed Indiana, Bloomington & Western receipts, issned by the trust company. The five Western lines last week brought into this station 4,801 loaded cars. Increase over the number received in the week preceding, 233 load i J cars. Railroad managers of the cutting-rate type are more concerned over the clause in the interstate bill prohibiting paying rebates than over the long-and-short-haul section. The Baltimore & Ohio officials are actively fcrepanne for the opening of traffic in Philadelphia on the 1st of next month. This looks like at peneral harmony, doesn't it? It is said that contracts have recently been elosed in Philadelphia for locomotives and steel rails which wiil.amount in the aggregate to $50.'000 000. This is certaily a good send-off foe 1887. The freigtit traffic of the G, L. St L. & C road in the wek ending the 22d was the largest in the history of the road, the average daily movement on the system being 1,102 cars per day. Th executive committee of tho Chicago Ss Ohio River pool will met next Wednesday. Among other business will be the consideration of th practicability of maintaining the Cairo, or sixth pooL M. Doherty, commissioner of the Indianapolis east bound pool, has, within the last ten days. been offered two responsible and high-salaried railroad nositions, one of which he will doubtless tak, as the days of pools are on the wane. Superintendent 51an6field's annual report will show thnt there were brought into Indianapolis over the Indianapolis & Vmcennes road in the ye.ir 1S8G a total of 17,301 loaded cars, against JO.fiOQ in the year 1885. Increase last year 6.701 loadeil cars. j O. V. Fairbanks will in a day or two go East . d hold a conference with the purchasers of the Illinois Midland, now the Terre Haute & Peoria roai. and at the conference arrangements will bc..uido for the purchase of a large lot of steel gaii-nnd equipment for the road.

It is thought to be quite probable that Austin Corbin will be circled president of the Jersey i'entral mad. There is a strong movement in " lbt direction.

A. A. Talmage will very likely soon retire from the general managership of the Wabash railroad west of the Mississippi river, and that Col. Robert Andrews will succeed him. The only reason 'assigned for the change is that of remuneration. E. L. Ryder, an old Ohio & Mississippi man, lias been appointed trainmaster of the Air-line division of the L., N. A. & C, between Chi-Tig-and Indianapolis, with headquarters at Motion. Gen. Howard will remain incharceof the mala line between Lanesville and Michigan City as trainmaster, including branches of the main line, with headquarters at Lafayette. .A consolidation of Peoria. Decatur & Evansvnle and Evansville & Terre Haute, on the basis of two shares of the stock of the former to one of the latter, is favored by Mr. Mackay, the president of the Evansville & Terre Haute, who, with his co-directors, now controls the other line. The two lines form aV, whose point is reached when they meet at the same station at Evansville. Complaints of Western railroad officials, says the Boston Advertiser, of the detention of freight cars in New Cngland, crop out occasionally, and just at present the Erie Dispatch j line is said to have 1,400 cars idle in New England territory. The delays of foreign steamers may have aggravated the trouble at this particular time, but the roads may be trusted to rid themselves as rapidly as possible of idle cars. At the meeting of the Middle and Western classification committees it was decided to advance freight rates from Buffalo. Pittsburg and Cleveland to associate points after Feb. 1, and also that rates from other points be increased correspondingly. The percentages of increase were not fixed. The proposition to remove Secretary Orr's office from Toledo to Chicago was lail over until the next meeting, which is to talcn ' pl,1ce at Pittsburg early in March. E. II. Fudge and Joseph Lathrop, of Chicago, supposably representee the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road, have had a consultation with R. B. Price, the principal owner of the -Columbia branch of the Wabash, at Columbia, - Mo., in reference to a projected road from Chicago to Springfield, Mo., via Hannibal, which road will want to use the track of the Wabash branch if satisfactory arrangements can be tnade. The proposed line contemplates taking in Columbia and Boon villa and intermediate points. The more the interstate-commerce bill is examined, and its prominent features brought out, ine more important aoes it seem mat aoie men bti appointed commissioners, ana tne more evi- ,: dent does it become that $7,500 per annum will r not command the class of men who will make . the bill a benefit to the business public and still -prevent the roans suffering through its provis ions. The railroad commissioners of England are paid large salaries, and when the commission was formed it was suggested that the chairman of the commission should be paid 0,000 per an num. Every day makes it more and more evident that the Adams and the American express com pinies, with the assistance of the Erie and the Baltimore & Ohio express companies, have un v a a - W m j . Oertasen to ireeze out tne united Mates com pany, and the outlook is that they will sooner or later succeed. The united btates cannot stand many such blows as it did last year, and as indi cations are that it will this year. The rumor comes that it will be thrown off the C, II. & D. system and, as soon as the I., B. & W. is reorganized, the Erie will doubtless, if thtsir cards work as they now ex ipect them to. supplant the United States Ex press Company on the I., B. & W. system. The managers of the -Wisconsin Central railroad have issued a second manifesto declaring that no "tips" to porters of parlor or sleepingcars will be allowed on their line. They claim that they have raised the wages of porters so that gratuities will not be necessary. The ver dict of those who have had experience in the business, however, is that the system of fees Cannot be abolished. The traveling public expects to pay for any little extra attentions, and the porters profit by this precisely as do waiters in restaurants. 1 here is an iniustice in this to the people who do not believe in "tipping," but no penius nan yet oeen aoie to evolve anv plan for remedying it. An iron-bonnd edict against the practice will not effect a reform. II. S. Fraser, general agent of the B. & O. Kankakee Dispatch, has of late had occasion o travel a good deal, and on night trains. On a is last trip he was much annoyed by the snoring of the occupants of berths near by that Occupied bv him, and he has written the general nanazer of the Pullman Company suggesting lhat the porters be provided with a prod similar tothateused by stock-shippers to stir the cattle p when they are disposed to get down in the lr, and that the porter, when he notices an jccupantof a berth snorine loudly, just prod iim a little. Mr. Fraser takes the grounds that bo Puilzaaa Company hare tho liberty to to do

as well as that of forbidding passengers' on a

coach to converse with one another after the hour of 11 p. m. Another Gratifying Exhibit; Freight traffic with Indianapolis lines contin ues heavy beyond parallel for the season of the year. It will be noticed that in the week ending the 22d' there were received and forwarded at this point 1.101 more loaded cars than in the week ending Jan. 15, and 3,931 more than in the corresponding week, 18SC, and 5,315 more than in the corresponding week, 1885. The corresponding week, 18S5, however, the Northern lines were having trouble from snow, which, in some measure, accounts for the unfavorable exhibit But the movement of cars at the present time surprises the oldest of freight men, as, with the stiffening up in rates in all directions a falling off, rather than an increase, in business had been looked for. Possibly there will be a break this week, as the country roads are in a wretched condition, so mud has been the weather the last few days. Eastward there continues to be a large export movement, a large per cent of which goes via Baltimore and Newport News, which accounts for the immense business the Big Four is doing; and in the last few days there has been an increase in shipments to in terior points. West-bound, as well, the tonnage continues to be considerably in excess of that of last year, and, with the development of Missouri and Kansas west-bound business, promises to largely increase from year to year. Coal from the anthracite region is coming forward more freely; heavy shipments of railway material are coming West over the through lines. The latter feature of shipments promises to be heavy throughout the year, so large a mileage of new railroad is there to be built North and south roads are doing a better business than last month oi a through character, while, as with all Indianapolis lines, the local traffic has never been before equaled in volume in a winter montn. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point last week, and a comparison made with the movement of the corresponding weeks in the years 1886 and 1885:

The Railroad Gazette, in its issue of Jan. 21, shows that there were in the year 18S6 a total of 1,211 accidents in the United States, in which 401 persons were killed and 1,433 injured. This is entirely too many accidents to occur on our roads, ,if due diligenoe is observed by men in charge of trains and tract. However, there were fewer accidents than in the year 1885. For tho year ending with December the record is as follows:Accidents. Killed. Injured. January Vi 4U yu February 98 21 157 March... 81 49 131 April .. 6G 23 105 May 93 23 170 June 75 33 86 July 91 23 88 August 115 31 117 September 135 42 148 October 118 48 106 November 130 33 106 December 115 35 129 Total 1.211 401 1,433 307 1.530 Total, same months, 1885.1,217 Total, same months. 1 834. 1,191 Total, same months, 1883.1,640 389 1.760 473 1,913 The yearly average for the four years was and 1,659 hurt; the 1,315 accidents, 393 killed monthly averages for the last year were 101 acci dents, 33 killed and 119 injured. Negligence in operating is charged with 53.9 percent of all the accidents; defects of equip ment with 14.8, and defects of road with 16.5 per cent Miscellaneous Notes. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad has reduced rates in Colorado from 6 to 4 cents a mile. San Francisco Alta: The man who is appoint ed to take charge of a bankrupt railroad is no longer called "receiver." He is an "undertaker," and the property is the corpse. The proceeds from the sale of the $1,000,000 additional stock, to be issued by the Illinois Central, are to be applied to the payment of $500,000 for elevator property at Chicago, and for double-tracking the line to Kankakee and purchase of car equipment The Baltimore Sun decribes the Richmond Terminal corporation as a new Southern railroad octopus. The company still has more magnificent aspirations, and over 4,000 miles more of road have been marked out for control, and will be nnaily absorbed by the colossal power. Philadelphia Inquirer: The Reading Railroad Company is handling considerable east-bound freight for the Baltimore & Ohiocarrying it to New York from the terminus of the latter company's extension. The relations between the roads, however, continue unsettled, and the Baltimore & Ohio is not soliciting west-bound freight in New York. A new railroad route is being surveyed between Williamsport and Bingbamton, N. Y., that, if built, wiil prove a serious competitor to the Northern Central, and interfere with Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and other roads. It is believed that the Delaware & Hudson company is backing the scheme. Such a connection would enable the company to make connection with Reading and Pennsylvania, and greatly increase its freight and passenger traffic to southern Pennsylvania and west The statement is confirmed that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad officials let contracts for the construction of 4,800 freight-cars for use on the Chicago division. Of these. 1,600 will be box. 1,000 stock, 1,000 coal, and the remainder miscellaneous freight cars. The contracts specify that the cars shall be delivered at the Chicago yards of the company between Aug. 1 and Dec 31, 1887. It is understood that further contracts will be let shortly for an additional 5,000 freight ears. The company has placed orders for the building of 148 locomotives, all to be delivered before the close of the year. A correspondent of the Boston Transcript writes to tnat journal concerning an invention of his own for beating railroad cars. He claims that it is the only device for heating cars with out fire, and that it is perfectlv practicable, economical and safe. The principle is friction, and the motive or generating power is produced" by the motion of the train. It has been demonstrated, says the inventor, that with this apparatus a railroad car can be heated to an uncom fortable point. The inventor has also a feasible way of warming the car before starting. He forbids the publication of his name or address. but declares his willingness to show his inven tion to railroad men at any time. A Reception for Justin McCarthy.

The rain was coming down quietly at 8 o'clock last evening when the Salvation Army appeared at the corner of Washington street and Virginia avenue for the purpose of holding a meeting. They stationed themselves in the middle of the street, and three sang, while the fourth played an accordion. Several hundred people had gathered in a few minutes, when there was a sudden ceasing of the singing, and, on a nod from the captain, all knelt in the mud, while one led in prayer. Thera were a few more songs, after which one attempted to exhort, but the curiosity had been satisfied, and the variant workers within fifteen minutes had to abandon their meeting for want of an audience.

Savings Banks. In a recent address on "Thrift" Dr. Edson, of this city, called attention to facts which we believe to be of present importance. He said: "The city of Indianapolis has no savings banks. This is practically true of the whole State of Indiana. The fact is not creditable to us. It puts us on record in opposition to the most intelligent and thrifty communities everywhere. "In Great Britain the postofuces are savings banks. The children and the poor can deposit, at interest; their ponnies and sixpences, and thus are encouraged and instructed in economy. On the 31st of December, 1883, the number of depositors was 3.105.642. and the amount standing to their eredit 41,768,808 two hundred millions of dollars. ."In France, since 1874, over 23.000 savings banks have been opened in the public schools, in which the children have deposited nearly $2,500,000. Birmingham. England, which in 1876 had two school penny banks, last year had eighty-six, in which $15,000 were deposited. "In our own country, the State of Massachusetts has excellent laws for the maintenance of savings institutions. They are surrounded by all possible safeguards. They are intreuched in the confidence of the people. The results are astounding., Mr. Edward Atkinson has just pub lished thegures, as follows: 1S05 Population of Massachusetts. 1,267,329 Number of deposit accounts 291.483 Average deposit, each account $205.62 Average deposit per head of population $47.29 1R85 1.941.4C5 848.787 $323.99 $111.64 "Mr. Atkinson adds: 'If the savings bank deposit of the whole population of the United States were now equal per capita to that of Massachusetts, the sum of such deposits would be over $3,400,000,000.'" These are statements and figures which may well arrest attention. Can our State afford longer to be without the benefits of institutions which, under proper direction and restriction, have been universally found to promote, in a remarkable degree, the accumulation of wealth? It is of the utmost importance that the people should learn, not only to make, but to save money. The young people especially should be helped to form habits of economy. Many a boy who now wastes his pennies and dimes might learn the pleasure of accumulation if publio depositories were " provided where his small savings would be at interest and secure. Many a poor man who now spends all his wages might discover.the charming secrets of compound interest, and .secure a little from each weeks waste. We should not at once reach the enormous totals of the Massachusetts reports, but who doubts that our two millions of people might, under proper encouragements, be induced to rescue innumerable heedless contributions to extravagance, which, in the course of years, would prove to ba a most handsome addition to the public wealth! Have we not some sagacious legislator who will give the matter prompt and practical attention? Can we not have a law as good as the Massachusetts law, under which Indiana also might learn the power of the littlest Burins: for Natural Gas at Flalnfield. A joint stock company has been organized at Plain field for the purpose of boring for natural gas. Scientific men have predicted that gas may he found there at a reasonable depth In great volume. Fifteen years ago a company bored for petroleum at the same place and struck it in small quantities, and at that time there were evidences of gas. The enthusiastic citizens who are putting their money into the enterprise hope to find a sufficient quantity of the article to supply this city through pipes. An Aged Negro Woman's Sadden Death. Mrs. Jane Williams, colored, residing with her husband at No. 315 Lafayette street, was found dead in . bad yesterday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Williams lived in the house alone. He is eighty years of age, and she was seventyeight Saturday night when they retired she appeared to be in as good health as usual. Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock he heard her ntter a moan, and when he got up, an hour later, she was dead. Heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of her death. Abases in tho Milling: Business. To morrow morning, at 11 o'clock, the millors of central Indiana will meet at j the Board of Trade rooms, in this city, to consider the outlook of the milling business and to take action looking to the rectification of abuses that now exist in the trade. During the last two years, it is claimed, the business has been conducted at a saall profit, and the millers believe that they are themselves largely to blame for this state of affairs. Arrested for Cruelty to Animals. Frank Baldis and Louis Wandman hired a horse and buggy at Lewark's livery stable last evening, and, after an hour's driving, they returned the horse so nearly rnn to death that Mr. Lawark had them arrested for cruelty to animals.

YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION. ' The following items of news appeared in our Second Edition of Sunday; Dr. McGlynn's Response to the Archbishop. New York, Jan. 22. Rev. Dr. McGlynn had all his personal effects removed to-day from St Stephen's vestry to the house of his sister in Harlem. A . reporter, called at the residence of Dr. McGlynn's sister and learned that tho Doctor was not confined to his bed, but was kept in strict seclusion. Even the daily , newspapers were denied him, and the only information he had regarding the doings in the outer world he obtained from his physician, Dr. Shrady. Dr. Henry Carey, the treasurer of the McGlynn fund, says the fund is increasing beyond his most sanguine evpectations. The parishioners of St Stephen's Church, as far as could be learned by the reporter, hold that the statement published by Archbishop Cbrrigan in regard to Father McGlynn's case is not a fair statement of the case. The fact is pointed to that, while the Archbishop publishes in full his letters to Dr. McGlynn, he appears to have found it expedient to suppress portions of Dr. McGlynn's letters, which are said by friends of the deposed pastor to be of vital importance in passing judgment upon the controversy. Police Captain Ryan announces his intention of having police in citizens' dress at St Stephen's to-morrow as a precaution against any possible disorder. A meeting of the parishioners is called for Monday night, in the basement of the church, but it is said the meeting will not be allowed to be held there by the present pastor, Father Donnelly. Dr. McGlynn, being still confined to his room, dictated the following statement late this after noon: "Pending a fuller statement which I shall feel

called upon to make as soon as physically able, I desire now to say that in the paper of Archbishop Corrigan, published this morning, certain letters and parts of letters essential to the case are omitted. I did not promise, in 1882, to make no more Irish Land League speeches, and when again censured, in 1883, for favoring the Irish revolution in a speech in behalf of the, starving people of the west of Ireland, made at the request of the united Irish county associations, I did promise not to make any more speeches on the Irish qnestion, even for eharity, but I did not bind myself by promise to abstain for all time to eome from public speaking on political and social subjects. With one exception that of my speech at the Checkering Hall meeting, the reason for which explained at the time to the Archbishop I have yielded obedienee in all things, even when I could not feel that obedience was rightfully demanded, nor has my conduct, either toward the archbishop himself or toward the Roman authorities, been of the defiant character which the suppression of parts of my letter gives to it I gave to the Archbishop in that part of the letter of Dec. 20 which he has not published good reasons why I could not go to Rome. "I have never retracted, nor, without doing violence to my conscience, could I retract, my firm conviction that God made the land for the equal use of His children, and that laws which deny their birthrigbt to the great majority of men are unjust and injurious, and ought to be abolished. I am theologian enough to know that the Catholic Church has never condemned this doctrine as contrary to Catholic truth. If the Pope teaching the universal church, as the chief bishop thereof, or, as the term is, ex cathedra, thus defining what has been handed down from Christ and his apostles in the deposit of faith, should declare that this doctrince" is contrary to Catholic faith, I should then, as a Catholic, repudiate it But I am also theologian enough to know what the church teaches as to the limitation of its power of definition, and, therefore, to know that the doctrine of the equality of human rights in laud can be no more condemned by the church than any other truth." Rome, Jan. 22. The Pope having reserved for himself the settlement of the case of the Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, of New York, it is expected in ecclesiastical circles that the latter will submit to the demands of the church. Convention of Hve-Stock Men. Chicago, Jan. 22. The national convention of live-stock men, at this morning's session, at the Btockyards, elected the following officers President, Elmer Washburn, of Chicago; vice presidents, S. B. Armour, of Kansas City: H. S. Newman, of East St Louis, and John A. McShane, of Omaha; secretary, Charles W. Baker, of Chicago; treasurer, E. J. Scusky, of St Louis. It was decided to adopt the name. "National Live-Stock Exchange." The most important business before the meeting was the fixing of a uniform scale of priees for the sale of live-stock. which was decided upon as follows: Fifty cents peTliead for cattle, except calves, yearlings and stock cattle, which shall be $10 per car-load, providing that parties buying hogs and sheep for New York shall charge not less than $5 per double-deck car, and for Baltimore not less than $6 per double-deck car $4 per car for single-deck car-loads of hogs and sheep bought for the same places; and provided, further, that all live stock driven into the yards shall be sold at the following rates, to wit: Cattle, 50 cents per head; calves, 25 cents per head; sheep and hogs, 10 cents per head no sales to be made for less than 50 cents. The next business of importance was the passage of a resolution pledging all members and firms to dispense with the services of traveling men and all manner of "drumming" for business. The meeting then adjourned. The Coal-IJaudlers' Strike. New York, Jan. 22. The move of the striking coal-heavers to prevent the handling of coal by procuring the co-operation of the union boatmen, who refused to carry coal, was checkmated to-day by the non-union boatmen, who aro largely in the majority. They met this morning and formed an organization to fight the union. A number of deputies were discharged to-day, their services being no longer required. Many of the strikers are sorely in want, and would return to work at once if they dared. In Hoboken the handling of coal in carts has been greatly obstructed by women and children who sympathize with the strikers. They blockade the streets in front of the carts, and it is impossible for the drivers to get out with their loads without driving over them. Trouble is experienced on the New York side of the river, where Knights of Labor congregate and will not per mit the unloading or tne ooats. THE COURT RECORD. Superior Court. Boom 2 Hon. D. W. Howe.

SiaMnHBMHMBSMiMB3 THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1887. The Indianapolis Journal has long enjoyed the distinction of being the leading 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 f-uch a paper in this field. The Journal has spared no effort or expense to give to the publio a wide-awake, aggressive newspaper, and it now cornea before its readers better equipped to serve them thafe ever before, and with the assurance that the hig standard of excellence it now maintains shall not ba lowered in the future. The sessions of the National Congress and the State Legislature, and the important questions to be considered by both bodies, make a firstclass newspaper indispensable to every person. The Journal's reports and reviews of the proceedings of each will be full and accurate, prepared by its own correspondents and reporters. The work bofore the Legislature will attract more attention than has been bestowed upon a like body in many years, and is of the most important character, involving, aa it does, the election of a United States Senator, the government of the State institutions, and other mafe ters of unusual interest. The Journal enjoys facilities for receiving and publishing the news of the day in every way superior to those enjoyed by any other paper in Indiana and equal to any in the country, being a member of both, ' the great press associations, the reports of both tM Western Associated and United Press being re ceived at its own office, and presented to its readers to the fullest extent , - The Journal !s represented at Washington and New York, and other large cities, by tried and ef ficient correspondents of wide reputuation, who will furnish it with full and extensive accounts of alt matters of public interest .The vigilance of these ' correspondents is a guarantee that the readers of th$ Journal will be kept folly 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 patronizing field, the Journal is' represented by a special correspondent and great care. Is ta1 i to see that the news of this seotion ia given to t! lllest extent possible. The citj : ws 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 w. . 11 it .It. ers. in this department, as in an otaers, tne Journal challenges comparison. Particular attention will be given to its market re ports, 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 reoog nised; no other paper in Indiana bestows the atten-. tion upon this important department given by the Journal. The decisions of the Supreme and I seal courts will be carefully reviewed by special reporters, and will be accurate and comprehensive. No attorney can 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 secured 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 writingf will appear chiefly in the Sunday Journal, which, in, point of excellence, has no rival in the State and ne superior in the country. No expense will be spared to make it retain its advanced position among the best journals of the period. THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL.
