AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Facts About the "Vandalism

It is now eiehtr days sines what is known as tbe C, A. & D. -Vandalia deal was announced. and since that announcement was made there baa been hardly a day in which there did not ap pear some criticism based on unreliable inform ation, grossly exaggerated and liable to injure innocent parties. These criticisms sometimes originated in Western papers and were extensively copied in Eastern papers, and all revealed ig norance regardine the deal and the property. No one who has been over the Vandalia system and understands the location of the road, its ad vantages in terminal zaeilities, the immense business developing daily on th line, its excellent physical condition and superior equipment, will for a moment question that it has a crand futnre. and should the exaggerated statements of the amount of money that young Ires took from it be true it would not seriously impair the value of the property and would not increase the indebtedness of the road $1,200 per mile, which, with its light bond ed debt, makes the rumors that have been pub lished seem ridiculous and strained to an extent which is merely sensational. In six months. with the immense trafiia over this road, the loss. even if it be as great as stated, which is not true, would be overcome without interfering with the road paying its operating expenses and fixed charges. In the Vandalia system are 423 miles of main line. 240 of which is in splendid condition, having been virtually rebuilt within the last five years: then there are 18:j miles which will compare favorably in its physical condition with 90 per cent, of the Western roads, and is steadily being improved. In addition to this, there are some fifty miles of branch tracks leading to valuable coal, mines, thirty-three miles of it being in Clay county, Indiana. The right-of way nearly the entire distance between Indianapolis and St Louis is one hundred feet in width, and between Terre Haute and South Bend eighty feet in width, and there is no litigation hanging over one foot of it. Further, but few ronds in the country have a larger equipment per mile than has the Vandalia. all of which is of the best class. The company has large and well equipped shops at Terre Haute, and shops of less pretensions at three other points, all first-class in . their appointments. The more one ponders over the condition of this valuable property the more absurd do the statements which have appeared from time to time of late in the press of the . country appear. Mr. Spencer Will Succeed Mr. Garrett. Baltimore, Sept. 6. The Baltimore American of this morning says: "The question as to who shall succeed President Garret is settled. Mr. John King, jr., who was looked upon favorably, cannot take the position, because he is virtually trustee of the Erie road, as well as its president Mr. A. J. Cassatt was mentioned. but his intimate relations with the Pennsylvania road were against his acceptability. The man whom the syndicate have settled upon as pos- ' aesslng all the requirements for the place is Mr. Samuel Spencer, the present first vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio road. Not only his ability as a manager and his work in connection with the road commend him, but when he conducted the negotiations which ended in the contract, the syndicate became so thoroughly impressed with his qualifications that it took only a short time for the men to agree upon him as Mr. Garrett's successor. They recognize the fact that he will give the road a progressive administration and will do as much as any man can do to maintain its thorough independence, while steering clear of entangling competitions. The choice of Mr. Spencer is with Mr. Garrett's full concurrence and approval. "Mr. Spencer is a&out forty years old, and is a married man. He entered the Baltimore & Ohio's service as a clerk and worked himself up until he became chief clerk to William Sharp, who was master of transportation. When Mr. Sharp became president of the Long Island road he offered Mr. Spencer a responsible position at several times the salary that the B. & O. was paying him. He accepted, and filled the place until called back by the Baltimore & Ohio to fill one of its rice-presidencies. He has been a very valuable man, and during Robert Garrett's administration, especially, his services have -. been extensive. He is a hard worker, without ' any peculiar brilliancy, but with a eool bead aod an exhaustless amount of push, and his selection will meet with general approval." Western Shippers Will Be Ileard. PiTTSBUKO, Sept. G. The Interstate Commerce Commission has finally -decided upon the date to consider the protest of the Western wholesale shippers against a reclassification of freight rates in the interest of Eastern shippers. A letter was received to-day by the Pittsburg Wholesale Grocers' Association from the freight bureau of Minneapolis, Minn. The bureau is an association of wholesale dealers similar to that of the grocers' association in this city, They have followed the example of Pittsburg. Cincinnati, St. Louis and other large Western cities in protesting against what they claim is ' an attempt to secure discrimination in favor of Eastern shippers. The let ter states that the interstate commission had sent them notice that a meeting of the commission would be held in St. Paul on Sept. 13. The meeting Is for the - purpose of bearing the Western side of the case. All Western whole sale shippers who are among the large list of protestors are asked to send representatives to appear before the commission and present their arguments to show why the railroads should not be granted the privilege of shipping a small quantity of merchandise at the same rate as a car-load.' From present indications the mem bers of the commission will have no occasion to complain about difficulty in securing evidence. Representatives from all of the Western ship pers are expected to be present to lay before the commissioners arguments which they claim are based on such a solid foundation as to be almost self-evident. rtlg Cat in Passenger Kates. Chicago, Sept. 6. The Wabash Railway Company threw a bombshell into Western passenger circles yesterday by announcing a rate of $G between Chicago and Kansas City, a cut of $0.50, the regular established rate being $12.50. This eut3 the St. Louis passenger rate from $7.50 to $6, and will, if persisted in, completely demoralize all Western and Southwestern passenger traffic. The cut was brought about by trouble over harvest excursion rates. All of the Western lines agreed to adopt a certain form of tickets for these special excursions, but the Cbicaeo & Alton, as it claims by a mistake, printed its tickets according to their form in use last year. As a consequence, the scalpers got hold of a lot of the tickets and used them to cut the regular rate. The Wabash refuses to take the explanation that it was all a mistake, and made the open rate of $0 yesterday. The Burlington will follow to-day with the same figure, and the Alton and the Rock Island will no doubt take the same action. New Road Incorporated. Springfield, 111., Sept 6. Articles of incorporation were to-day recorded in the bffice of the Secretary of State of the Qaincy & Rock Island Railroad Company, the principal office being at Qaincy, and the amouut of the capital stock to be $2,000,000. The incorporators and first board of directors are as follows: Charles A. McLaughlin, of Galesburg; Samuel S. Gray and Charles R. Arnold, of Hamilton; Charles II. Drere, ot Mohne; Morris Rosenfeld, of liock Island; George W. Pretsinger, of Chicago; James M. Bishop, of Qnincy; James T. Crawford and Wm. Hill, of arsaw, I1L It is proposed to construct the said railway from the city of Quiney northerly through the counties of Adams, Hancock, Henderson. Mercer and Rock Island to a point at or near the city of Rock Island. mm i .. Local and State Notes. 'For a vacillating policy," says the Cleveland Leader, "commend us to the general passenger agents' action on the mileage-book rates." W. S. Brown, ticket agent of the Lake Shore road at Monroe, Mich., has been appointed traveling passenger agent of the company. The L., N. A. & C. people are boasting that they were the only road over which the excursion trains arrived at Chicago Saturday night last on schedule time. The Wabash, to be in fashion, wheels into line and announces very low round-trio rates to Denver. CoL, Sept. 10, on the occasion of the I. O. O. F. convention at that place. The Bee line Niagara Falls excursion was a grand success, the train last evening going out in two sections, hauling seven day coaches, ten ileeping eoaehes, and three chair cars, all well filled. The telegraph wires, which the lateIL S. Ives ordered put in to give him and the authorities of the C, H. & D. road direct telegraph communication with the general offices of the Van--dalia. were cut, yesterday, this being apparently th closing scene of the drama, Traveling Aul- i

itor Hewitt, of the Bee Line, was in the city, yesterday, and checked over the ticket office on Sonth Illinois street, to the new agent. The freight receipts a., the Terre Haute & Indianapolis (Vandalia) city freight depot for August, this year, show an increase of $7,212 over those of the corresponding month in 183S. The passenger business of the L, B. & W. has been exceptionally good during the last few weeks. An increase in earnings of nearly $7,000 is shown in August, this year, over those of August, 188a Oct 1 the Bee line will issue a new passenger tariff in which the rates will be reduced at a number of stations. Between Indianapolis and Cleveland the rate which is now $8.50 will be reduced to $3.25. The Michigan Central road has extended the privilege of its 2,000-mile books to, agents,' as well as the heads of firms, and to children between five and twelve years of age, who may use them as half fare. . The Wade syndicate has ordered a number of improvements made on the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan road at once, which indicates that it does not expect II. S. Ives to carry out his proposition with them. The railroad election held at Rockville, yesterday, to vote $35,000 towards building the Midland railroad, resulted in a majority of 154 in favor the appropriation in Adams township, which includes Rockville. The emyloyes on the J., M. & L road will give a grand ball at Jeffersonville, Sept. 19, the proceeds of which are to be given to Charles Hosea. who was thrown under a train and lost one of his limbs a few days ago. The shipments of freight east from Chicago in ' the week ending Sept. 3 amounted to 43,508 tons, which was an increase over the shipments of the week preceding of 3,235 tons. The C, I., St. L. & C. seems to have made quite a dash for east-bound business, carrying out 8.3 per cent To-day the Illinois & Indiana and the Pekin & Danville divisions of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road will be consolidated, and sixty days from now the Ohio division will be consolidated with the divisions first mentioned. The Columbus, Indianapolis & Western road is the name agreed upon under the reorganization scheme. Within the last few weeks Roan, Tenn., has become a popular pleasure resort ' The hotel, which is owned by General -Wilder, is 6.400 feet above the level of the sea and affords a fine view of the surrounding country. The roads running south from here are making a special

rate to this point, expecting in the future to make it a very popular place. The cost of improvements made on the C, I., St. L. & C. road in the month of August foot up, in tound numbers. $100,000. This includes the new bridges, new stations, the work of filling near Cincinnati in the raising of the track and the work on the cut-off, which will, when completed, enable the company to run its trains without passing through the tunnel. - Adding the 5,000 miles operated by the Balti more & Ohio Express Company to that of the United States Express Company, the latter, on the 15th of this month, will run its messengers over 20,000 miles ot road, and its relations with the leading Southern companies are such that in all probability its mileage will be increased many thousand additional miles before the year closes. The local agent of the Cincinnati. Wabash & Michigan road was summoned before the local Freight Agents' Association on Monday to ex plain how it was he was securing so much busi ness for Chicago via Benton Harbor. He suc ceeded in convincing them that the tonneee he had carried over this route was small in volume and carried at tariff rates. His defense, however, showed that he had prepared himself for the occasion. The Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company take exceptions to the item which appeared in yesterday's Journal, where they are blamed for running their trains on a time schedule, which prevents one going from Indianapolis to rnanv towns in the northern part of the State and re turning the same day. They say the Wabash road is in fault, the latter not running their trains in a manner to connect with those of the L. E. & W. (L P. & C.) division. While it is admitted that the Baltimore & Ohio express has been a leech on the B. & O. railroad, it is claimed that the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph has been a paving institution. The Indianapolis office is cited as a fair example of its business. This office, since opened, has earned an average of $1,650 a month, and it has cost only $1,150 to operate it. so that an average of $500 per month profit has been realized. This does not include $500 paid by other comnaniea for the use of two of their wires which rnn through this city. Samuel Svreet. division freight acent of tha Lake Erie & Western, has arranged and nnblished in pamphlet form the freight tariff of the road. It is the most simple and comnlete affair that has been issued, as at a clance the rate from any one point to another can be ascer tained, each station being known by number. The names of the stations are indexed in connection with the number, so that a mistake could not well -be made in naming a rate by even a green freight man, and a shipper can as readily ascertain a rate. The following changes are announced on the C, H. Ab D. road; Samuel Stevenson, ticket agent, station agent and baggagemaster at the Cincinnati depot has resigned and is succeeded by Albert Snyder: Geo. F. Hoefner has been appointed claim olerk. vice W. D. Holliday, resigned, to take the agency of the Commercial express at Cincinnati, Geo. Diefenbacb, station agent at Dayton, has resigned to take the agency of the Commercial express at Dayton, and is succeeded by J. T. Sills. Samuel Stevenson retires from the road after being in the service of the company, in various positions, thirtytwo years, twelve years filling the position of general passenger and ticket agent The L., N. A. & C people are seriously considering the purchase of the right of way along the canal bank from Broad Ripple to Ohio street, right in the heart of the city and within three squares of a connection with the Union tracks. Superintendent Woodard has given the matter careful investigation, and strongly urges such a movement Ample grounds just north of the city can be secured at reasonable figures for yards, and the line could be used to carry passengers to the Shooting Park and to Crown Hill, and from this source derive a considerable revenue. .Besides this, they would not be using the terminal facilities of a road which is a direct competitor, as they now do. It is stated that the owners of the canal have offered the right of way along the canal for $25,000, which is certainly a reasonable price, when the advantages the read would secure are taken into consideration. General and Miscellaneous. The raport that the C, B. &Q. people had pnrchased the Denver, Utah & Pacific road is confirmed. There has been an advance of over 5 points in Pullman car stock due to the belief that that company will secure the sleeping-car business of the Baltimore & Ohio. The litigation growing out of the interstate law beeins to grow rapid iv, and promises to jeopardize some very valuable railroad properties which are now dividend-payers. That there is still room for improvement in railroad operations is evident from the fact that only eleven ont of the fifty-four roads in the State of Illinois have paid any dividends the last year. TheCh icago & Rock Island now proposes to build a short line from St. Joseph to Quincy, which will brine it in direct competition with the Hannibal & St Joe road. Through the Wabash it would secure an excellent eastern outlet at Quiney. The ending of the trouble between the Read ing railroad ana its trainmen is creditable to both parties. The men were not disposed to stand any nonsense, but withdrew their objections when convinced that it was not nonsense. but the hardest kind of sense. On the other hand the company acted fairly, gave the men several hearings, and the result was no strike or lockout, .but improved service and increased confidence between employer and employe. The position of the Pittsburg wholesale grocers in favor of the freieht classification which makes a different rate between shipments in car-loads and those in less than car-loads, is the subject of some very jaundiced comment by the American Grocer. Thatjonrnal declares that the position of the Pittsburg merchants is "protection run mad "and asserts that we "want no Chinese wall of protection around any particular city or sec tion of country. A pound of copperas, costing three cents, in a bucket of water, sprinkled from a waterioe-oot in the pic-pen, will provide a cheap and excellent disinfectant, and will alio largely assist in preventing disease.

Mrs. Lucas had a serious form of malaria, and was confined to her bed tor months. Kaskine had ber up and around in a few days, and in a short time cured her." Living in the malarial districts of Maryland I became a victim of worst forms of malarial fever. I drugged myself with quinine and other remedies without avail. I was greatly reduced when I heard of Kaskine. Its curative powers were a medical revelation to me. It cured me and I have not had a return of the troubles. (Prof.) J. D. Ilird, ii.
