AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. jjUjonrl rclflc Chr0tl with Discrimination. ;t. Lours, May 27. A local paper ears it has . jtbeen learned that the Associated' Wholesale grocers, of this city, have entered a formal comttlsinfof discrimination apainst the Jlissoari pacific before the Interstate-commerce Commis-

1100. The causes ot grievance are inree in numFirst, it is alleged that a conspiracy exists er. wween the Missouri Pacific and other lines, by rhich shippers outside of the State are charged iP5s for transportation to points without the Mat than 's eDrP'1 Missouri shippers for transportation between the same points. The ecood cause of complaint is that, thoueh the Missouri Pacific hi.s no line ot its own between ibis city and East St. Loots, it offers to Co business for both these points from Kansas, Nebraska and. other States at the same rate, and, as the Missouri Pacific must pay something for transportation acrons the river out of the compesation received, it is arpued that this city is discriminated apainst in favor of East St. Louis. Carload rates is the burden of the third complaint. It is forth that the Missouri Pacific rates for car-load lots from this city aid other points is more than 25 per cent, less than the rate charped for similar merchandise iu quantities less than a tar-load, which, it is alleged, is in violation of the first and second sections of the interstate Jaw. THfT Salt Aealnst the Wabash. St. Louis, May 27. A suit was fHd in the United States court here to-day by the New Yorlt and Pacific Car-trust Association against the receivers, Messrs. Humphreys and Tutt, of the Wabash railway, for recovery of upwards of 2,000,000. The claim is in the shape of an intervening petition, and is based upon renewals ind installments due upon equipment and use of rolling-stock of the Wabash durinpthe period of the receivership, datin? from 1834 to April 1 of the present year. The total amount is $2,023,330. and the court is asked to order its payment, and to declare it a lien superior to all mortgages on the Wabash property. It is understood that a similar suit is to be filed at Springfield, I1L, and t Chicago, to-day. The effect of this petition, if granted, it is said, will be to place the purchasing committee in a' very embarrassing position, as they will either be obliped to pay the ruoney or eive np tne rolling stock. The latter would badly cripple t.he road, and a new outfit would cost about 5,000,000. The Wabash Western lines will not be seriously affected, as they own much of their roliice stock. jsw Line Between w York and Tloston. New York, May 27. Maps and plans for a new railroad between this city and Boston were filed in the register's office to-day. The estimated cost, double-tracked, including right of way into New York city as faraa Fifty-ninth street and Eiehth avenue, is about $23,000,000, er over $123,000 por mile. It is proposed to shorten the running- time between Boston and New York from six hours to three hours and a Local and State Notes. J. A Conwell, agent of the C, I., St. L. & C. It Westfort, died yesterday quite suddenly. The old passenger coaches of the L., N. A. & D. are to be put through, the shops and remodeled. E. W. McKenna, formerly superintendent of the J., M. & I., will be in the city on Monday text, en route to his new field, Fred Leeds and Cary Ilolcorabe, late with the Wabash at this point, have accepted good positions on the Chicago & Alton road. The C, I., St. L. & C. is laying about a mile or new side-track at North Vernon, putting in a new turntable and making various other improvements at that terminal. Very attractive and commodius grounds are being fitted up at Iiroad Kipple for picnic parties, and the L., N. A. & C. people propose to make rates which will make the grounds popular. The representatives of thirty-two roads left Chicago last night on a special train over the I,, N. A. & C. (Monon route) for Louisville to join Atmore's excursion to-day to the Mammoth Cave. The lines of the Pennsylvania Company west cf Pittuburgand Erie for the four months endine April 30 show a surplus over liabilities of $G23,600, beinsr a gain as compared with the same period lrfhG of $753,479. Thomas Rodd, of Pittsburg, chief architect of the new Union railway station, i in the city looking over matters. The new buildinir is delayed by the stone-masons being behind in their work, but yesterday they considerably increased their force. Edgar Hill, of Cleveland, general freieht agent of the I'ee-line, was in the city yesterday. He speaks of traffic as being light, but looks for an improvement now that rates in nearly all directions are fixed, and in most cases are lower than prior to April 4. The J., M. & I. and the C, St. L & P. have arranced to run a special train out of New Albnny for Chicago, to carry fruit for the Adams Express Company whenever the crop will justify it Fruit from all over southern Indiana will be shipped on this train. T. W. Lee, the new general passenger agv .i cf the Lake Erie & Western, has christened the road as the "Natural-gas route," thoir line runj ning through the principal towns where gas has , been found in this State and in Ohio. The name ' is certainly a very appropriate one. i A number of the roads now express a willingness to give excursion rates to parties of five. Gradually the lines a.e weakening, and within sixty days the old rates on mileage tickets and to excursion pr rties will be the same, as in times before the interstate-commerce scare. Jlostof the Indiana roads announce the low rate of one and one-third fare between ail stations on Decoration day. Some go tiven further and rosso the rate good on all trains May 28. 20 and 30, goine, and good to return on the 31st. The Lake Erie & Western is one of this dumber. The Pennsylvania Itailroad Com nany is pursuing its policy of replacing iron bridges with stone. As an example of the ultimate economy of so doing the Conemaugh viaduc t on the west slope of the Alleghenies is cited. 1 "his structure was built in 1832 and has not cost $50 since then for repairs. The little unpleasantness between the passenger departments of the I., Ii. k W. and the I., 1). & S. roads, as retards the business between Indianapolis and Peoria, has been smothrred. and the I., D. & S. has withdrawn the demand for a differential rate of $1 between Indianapolis and Peoria. E. O. Hopkins, general freight agent of the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville road., is in the city oo official business. He report freight traffic heavy on this road. The earr.in cs of this department in April were f 12, 000 ahead of those of the corresponding month in 1SSG, and the May earnings will be $18,000 in oxcess of those of last year. Misfortune still follows the I. N. A. & C. road. Yesterday a trestle near Lowell, on the Indianapolis division, went dovn and eight ears went into the streim below. An eneineer of large experience says the trouble on this road is that they have put on monster1 freight eneines before the bridges were prop irly strengthened to sustain such heavy weight. When the new law went int i effect the Chicago Sc Eastern Illinois and ' ihe Evansville & Terre Haute roads drew out. as competitor for sast bound business, but the ili vision of percenttses has been so arraged f.hat they have relumed business, and ye3t rday the Midland line re-established its ageucy at Terra Haute. with Walter Pennington aa asent, and the B. & f). Kankakee Dispatch, w'hich works over tho Vandalia out of .at poir t, opened for business, with A. r icholsor. as agent.

a portion of it went into Poeue's run. On this occasion the bell rope was in some manner tangled so that it did not notify the engineer of the trouble. Mr. McKenna then said there should be some device which would enable the brakeman on the rear of the train to put on the air-brake, and he invented the present arrangement and sent it on to E. B. Walla, superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and he was so well pleased with it that he advised Mr. McKenna to get out letters patent, which he has just received, although the invention has been in nse for some time. It is stated that to-day will determine whether or not the Porter syndicate secure control of the Evansville & Terre Haute and the Evansville & Indianapolis roads. President Mackey and President Porter, of the Chicago & Indiana Block-coal road, are in New Yrork in conference over the matter. The Evansville Journal says: "Both parties are anxious to trade and there remains only the question or price between them, but the difference is so great that the belief is they cannot come together. As we have before stated, the price asked for tho controlling stock (including that held in Evansville) is 23 percent, above par of watered stock. The Porter party are not willing to give over 90 per cent, at the highest. The proposition is for the Mackey party to sell the E. & T. II. and E. & I. roads and retain the P.. D. & E. The bad condition of the E. & I. and its heavy bonded debt and watered stock are serious 'obstacles to a sale. Were the E. & T. II. alone to be considered there would have undoubtedly been a sale ere this time." General and miscellaneous. The Red line begins to work over the Toledo, Peoria & Western road on June L The Pennsylvania Company has withdrawn .its boycott of the Boston & Albany road. The purchasers of the Nickel-plate expect to cret the road out of the hands of a receiver by July L Parties are looking over a line running south from Omaha, passing through western Kansas and the Indian Territory, into Texas. The Columbus & Hocking Coal and Iron Company have sold their coal-car equipment entire to t he "Columbus & Eastern Kail way Company. Indications now are that four thousand miles of new milroad track will be laid in Kansas this year. Over fifteen hundred miles has been laid since Jan. L . . . The annual meeting of the Chicago & Northwestern road will be held in Chicago next week, and President Keep will then retire from the presidency of the road. It is proposed to make Green Bay, Wis., the terminus of a system of roads connecting with the Green Bay, Winona & St. Paul road, and reaching as far West as Omaha. Nebraska and southern Dakota are asking capitalists to build a road north from Omaha. They offer liberal and extensive subsidies to any syndicate which will give them the desired railroad facilities. W. B. Gay has bee'n elected president of the Tuckahoe & James River road, a road which was built to develop one of the oldest known coal districts in the country. The results will be watched with interest. The new Boston and New York express trains, which are lighted by electricity and heated by steam, are paying well. It is stated that they are carrying 30 per cent, more passengers than before the improvement was introduced. There is to be lively competition for the Lake Chautauqua business this season between the Erie and the new Chautauqua Lake railroad, the latter working with the Lake Shore. The new company has been taking measures to scoop in the whole business, and has taken along step in that direction by buying up all the steamers on the lake. General McNulta, receiver of the Illinois division of the Wabash road, left for New York last evening for the purpose of paying $400,000 interest on the mortgage bonds held against the road. This is the first money paid on the road's indebtedness for years, and has come directly from the earnings under the receivers appointed by Judge Gresbam. The State Board of Equalization of Nebraska has completed the assessment of railroads for taxation purposes. It reports 3,830 miles of railroad in the State, and assesses the value of the same for purposes of taxation at $23,500,000. an averace of $6,135 per mile. The capital stock of Nebraska roads exceeds $25,000 per mile, and the bonded debt of the roads is about the same amount. The prospects for the wider use of the interlocking signals are brightening in all directions. The Boston & Albany has been one of the foremost in the matter and is now putting them into general nee all along the line. The yards at Worcester and Springfield are now being outfitted with an improved signal. In all parts of the country the tendency to extend the use of automatic devices is noticeable.

The ridiculous competitive drill at Washington is proving to be the dismal failure which all weli-wishers in our national militia must have hoped. There is nothing in common betweeu these petty and trivial competitions over the minor and formal details of drill and the true school of the soldier or the training of the officer to make out of both an efficient military organization. With excellent judgment, our own National Ouard was forbidden to take part in this boys' play. The strongest military organizations Sn the conntry are conspicuously absent. In all, barely 2.000 men turned out in the parade yesterday. The bodies gathered represent pretty closelv what a national guard should not be, and the public has let th show alone, and it will be a happy and fortunate outcome if the losses are heavy enough to discourage any repetition of this sort of a national drill in the future. Everything which belongs to pure, healthy blood is imparted by Hood's SarsaparilU. A trial will convince you of Its merits.

About fifty persons, pastors and lay members of the various Methodist Episcopal churches of this city, met last evening at Roberts Park Church for the purpose of adopting a constitution and by-laws for an association under the name of the Methodist Episcopal Alliance of the City of Indianapolis. Judge R. N. Lamb was chosen chairman and Rev. J. W. Duncan secretary. E. W. Halford, of the committee on plan of organization, presented a constitution and by-laws which, after discussion and some amendment, was adopted. The objects sought to be accomplished are (I) to promote harmony, concert of action and fraternity among the churches of the Methodist Episcopal denomination in the city; (2) to foster and develop a greater zeal for the spread of their doctrines and institutions as a divine agency for the salvation of men: (3) to extend the area and. efficiency of existing churches, and to plant chnrches and Sunday-schools wherever it appears clearly evi dent that a strong and permanent organization can be built up; (4) to employ a city missionary who shall possess such functions, prerogatives and relations to the churches as this alliance may determine. The work of the alliance is to be confined to Indianapolis and its suburbs, including Irving ton, Woodruff Place, Haughville and West In dianapolis. 1ms will make about twenty churches represented in the alliance, which will be composed of the presiding elders of the several conference districts here, the preachers in charge, the superintendent of each Sunday-school connected with such charges and two laymen from each charge. The constitution and bv-laws were recommit ted, with instructions that they be referred to the official boards of the several charges for approval and ratification; that when ratified by any board, such board shall at once elect the two lay delegates, and when notice of election of such delegates has been received from ten charges, provided that be before the first Tuesday in September, the chairman of the committee shall call the alliance together for permanent organ ization, and the oQcers then elected will hold their offices until the annual meeting, which shall be on the the third Tuesday in April, and the meeting shall be regarded as the nrst regular annual meeting of the alliance. The semiannual meeting following is to be held on the third Tuesday in October. m The question of taking steps to secure all of Marion county in one conference, and the pressing needs of the church at Haughville, were recommended as subjects to be presented to the ministers' meeting on Monday next, and the laity interested were invited to be present at the meeting.

intimated his belief that Mr. Piatt had no intention of resigning, merely putting forward this proposition, knowing it could not be accepted; that if Mr. Piatt were really anxious for Colonel Grant's appointment he should have used his influence with the Republicans in the Senate to secure the Colonel's confirmation when the Governor named him for that position, some weeks ago. The Governor added that, while he could give Mr. Piatt no assurance ia the matter, ho would say to the public in general that he would bo very glad to appoint Colonel Grant quarantine commissioner in case Mr. Piatt should resign.
