AFFAIRS OF TIM. RAILWAYS. CftOl of the Delay. Unfavorable comment on the part of the Bos

ton Traoeeript OTcr the delay in reorganizing b L, B. & W. road bas led to the purchasing eommittee issuing an explanatory circular, the pith of which is that under the laws of the three States which the road passes throusb it was

found necessary to organize a separate company n each State, then consolidating the Illinois and

Indiana companies; and afterwards consolidating

'his consolidated company with the company or

ranized by the committee in Ohio; and after this ihe consolidation of the new Indiana, Blooming

ton & Western corporation with the Cincinnati,

Sanduska & Cleveland companies. This process

m progressing rapidly, but requires a much

Jonger time to conform to the requirements of

ihe statutes of the several States, which are

lifferent in their provisions and require different forms and periods of published notices in the

various stages of the proceedings. Some methods of shortening the time were proposed, but owing to the differences of opinion among counsel as to the sufficiency thereof, the purchasing committee concluded that the only absolutely safe method was to comply strictly and literally with the procedure as prescribed in each of the States. It is not proposed to allow any question to be made concerning the absolute validity of the new security. The business is proceeding under the direction of the attorneys of the respective companies as rapidly and as satisfactorily as possible, but the committee does not hope to have it completed before Jan. 1, 1883. To sum up, in order to effect the reorganization legally, legislation has to be obtained from the several States in whieh the Indiana, Bloomington & Western and the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland are operated, and owing to this fact. . the reorganization must drag slowly along, during which time interested parties must wait with what patience they can command. Bee-Line Earnings.

While the above statement must be very gratifying to the present management, it will be seen that the prospects for a dividend this year are not very flattering. Still the policy of the Vanderbilts is evidently being carried out that is, to declare dividends after roadbed and equipment, are second to none. Fall Time Resumed. Baltimore, Oot 4. In the early summer the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, in some of the carbuilding and machine shops at Mount Claire, and in all the machine shops on the line of the road, reduced the working hours to eight, betause there was cot work enough to employ the nands on full time, and the pay was rednced. To-day In all the shops ten hours for a day's work was resumed, with pay for ten hours. It is stated that the reduction of hours was made to avoid the discharge of a part of the employes. Local and State Notes. R. O. Soper has been appointed agent of the Vandalia road at Smith boro. Employees ef the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg are undergoing a second examination for color blindness. . The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has organized a tourist's bureau as an auxiliary to Its passenger department. Cornelius and Frederick Vacderbilt accompanied by Cbaneey Depew, are this week inspecting their Western lines, In the month of September 33,58(3 pieces of baggage were handled at the Union Depot. Of this cumber 12,41)2 were checked out. The new immigrant tariff which is to govern the trunk lines on passenger business to Western points, will take effect on the first of November. The directors of the St Louis and San Francisco railroad yesterday declared a dividend of 2 per cent, on the preferred stock, payable Oct. 31. F. B. Catherwood, in the passenger department of the Bee-line, has resigned and taken a responsible position with the Lafayette Carworks Company. Geo. Belizhoover, formerly city passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines at Pittsburg, bas been appointed to the same position with the road at Chicago. President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio, is enroute home from Europe. Financial capers say that he will return after a brief stay in this country, to be absent a year. A. II. McQuiddy, who has been in the freight department of the L., N. A. & C, road for. a number of years at Louisville, bas resigned, and is succeeded by John DaSands. The C, II. & D. and the Cincinnati, Van Wert & Mackinaw roads, jointly, are now runnine through coaches between Van Wert and Cincinnati and between Cecil and Cincinnati. There are two trains each way daily. Lieut. J. W. Graydon, of this city, has made a proposition to the management of the Inter Colonial railway to heat their trains by steam from the locomotive. As an experiment the company will place at bis disposal six cars to fit up with bis heating device. The general passenger agents of the trunk lines, at their recent meeting, had a stormy session. The question was sprung as to the responsibility of the Pennsylvania road for the recent scalping business growing out of its cut-rates to the convention held in Philadelphia. Now that the Wabash Western (the Wabash rtroper) and the Wisconsin Central roads have fallen into line in this matter of paying no cornmissions on the sale of tickets, there are but eleven roads outside of the agreement, and but five of them roads of any importance. Gen. John McNulta, receiver of the Wabash road proper, has just returned from an extended tour through the East, ending his trip by a visit to St. Louis last week. As a result of bis visit East he will make several desirable improvements to the passenger equipments of the road. The C, I., St fj. & C. Monday opened its Aurora branch for both passenger and freight traffic The expense attached to operating this extension will be slight, as the same equipments and crews that did the work heretofore between Lawreneeburg and the Junction will do the extension work. A new position has been created on the Pennsylvania road. An excursion from Boston to Richmond is advertised by the company, and one of the inducements offered is the assurance to ladies traveling alone that a matron will accompany the party to look especially after their wants, and her title will be that of "portress." The Union Railway Company bas received from the Steelton rail-works 555 tons of steel rails weighing seventy pounds to the yard. They will be laid on the Union tracks. At the present time the company is laying their spur tracks on the ground purchased from Coburn & Jones. There will be eight of these tracts, varying in length from 400 to 600 feet M. E. In calls, president of the C. I., St. L & C, one of the proprietary lines in the Union Railway Company, is another official who is disgusted with the slow progress made ou the new Union railway station. lie says at the rate the work now proceeds, the bonds given to raise tbe money Jo make the improvement will fall due before the structure is completed. Robert B. Starbuek has been offered the position of master of trains on the Indianapolis division of the Bee-line, and has its acceptance under consideration. Mr. Starbuek is now on the C, H. & L road, but for many years was an employe on the Bee line in responsible positions, and was dropped when E. B. Thomas was its . general manager, at the time the sweeping changes were made. Tbe local agents, at their meeting on Monday4 adjusted the freight rates to Missouri river points. To better meet the views of our shippers, there is a disposition shown on the part of tbe freight agenta at this point to help manufacturers in rate matters as far as in their , power. Switching charges are about the only bobby the shippers have now to work on, tbe recent advance cot pleasing them. The report of Geo. W. Cobb, secretary of the Indianapolis Railroad Christian Association, bows that in tbe quarter ending Sept 30 there were 557 persons who visited the rooms. Religious services were held in the rooms twelve times, at which 192 persons were present lie goadc sixty-three visits to the hemes ot sick and

injured railroad men, attended two funerals, made thirty-six visits to yards, offices and shops, distributing 305 books, magazines and papers. He is still hindered in his work by the uninviting room for religious and social gatheriaes, bat hopes to get better quarters with the completion of the new Union tail way station. If the Sonhern roads expect to regain any of their tourist business tbey must abandon the old fogy policy of selfing round-trie tickets over only one road. One of the features of the transcontinental lines business is that they allow a tourist or any class of passengers to go West oyer one route and return by another. While most of the Indiana roads conform to the law of the State, which says on each coach shall be carried a band-saw, an axe and water bucket, on most roads they are placed in an inconvenient place and where it would be difficult to reach them in case of accident They are usually behind the stove or on top of the water closet, the latter being the last place a person unaccustomed to travel would look for them. A little attention to this matter would be wise on the part of the men In charge of train equipments. . Negligence in operating roads is becoming as apparent, seemingly, on the better class of roads as on some of less repute. This should impress the lesson on railway managers that improving the track does not necessarily improve those wbocare for it, and bavingprompt acting-brakes and perfected . signals does not always train the men to use them. One thing is becoming more and more opparent in the railroad service, that is, that the wages should be such as to draw the best of men into the service, and again, that

it does not pay to overwork men. . General Passenger Agent Martin of the Bee line is feeling nicely over the handsome reve

nue the company is this year deriving from

their passenger business, the earnings the last

three months exceeding those of any ninety days in tbe history of the road, even exceeding those

of 1872 and 1873, in which years the travel was

very heavy. One of the striking features of the

passenger business with all the east and west lines through Indianapolis, is the large eastbound travel from the Pacific slope as well as

west-bound. Seldom a day passes that there is not a number of Californians on tbe east-bound trains who are coming back" to visit their old

homes, or who have tired of California life and

come East again. THE G. A. It. AND THE PRESIDENT.

No Issue Was Made at St Louis, bat the Or (ganlzatlon Is Opposed to Him. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

Gen. Charles H. Groavenor, of Athens, O.,

was at the St Nicholas Hotel yesterday, he be

ing in the city on bis way home from the Grand

Army national encampment at St. Louis. He

was verr enthusiastic about the meeting in the

Mound City. Said he: "This is the sixth consecutive national encampment I have attended. I began at Baltimore, then went to Denver.

Minneapolis, Portland (Me.), San Francisco, and

now St Louis, where I went as a delegate. This

last was tbe largest national meeting the Grand

Army has ever had. There were over six hun dred delegates proper. Tbe reception and hos

pitallty of St Louis were splendid in every par

ticular. Xso criticism can be made about it Tbe citizens spent $100,000 of their own money to make it a success. Ten thousand old soldiers marched, and all the time a heavy rain was pouring upon them." " The reporter asked the General respecting the mention of Foraker's name for commander-in-chief, and to this he replied: "I heard nothing about it until I saw the Governor's telegram to Department Commander Putnam positively declining to be a candidate under any circumstances. General Fairchild had stated in his report that he bad devoted every day from the time he was elected at San Francisco until he arrived at St Louis to the business and duties of the offico of commander-in-chief, and that nine days out of ten during the entire year he had to be out of bis own State (Wisconsin). It is an office that wholly absorbs tbe time of the man that occupies it Therefore the suggestion that Governor Foraker could take it was simply absurd. Everybody understood that Foraker did not want to be considered in connection with it, and everybody understood that it was not possible that he could bold the office under any circumstances. Major Warner, of Missouri, withdrew his came because he is a Congressman. , I think it just possible that Powell will have plenty ef time to attend to Grand Army matters after the election," and as the General made this remark his eyes twinkled and he gently laughed. "What about pensions?'' "Well, there was the old controversy in the encampment about "service' pensions. It received a larger vote than ever before, but the majority against it was about 175; and the encampment indorsed tbe pension report of their committee, which is. in substance, the bill which Cleveland vetoed. The report criticized the position of Cleveland in mild and parliamentary language, but reasserted our support ef the same sort of bill that be had vetoed. But it was done without antagonizing him and without denouncing him persoaally, or in any way raising an issue between the Grand Army of the Recubiio and the President of the United States. In other words, the policy of the Grand Army was simply to stand by tbe proposition we bad advanced on the pension question, without abusing tbe President or saying anything about him, but to go right on as if he never existed." "What about the resolution censuring Cleveland?" "Paul VandeVvoort, of Nebraska, who was commander-in-chief five years aeo, introduced a resolution denouncing Mr. Cleveland and his vetoes, etc., and strongly raising the question of good faith against the President On the resolution a discussion was had. Th? committee had unanimously reported against the resolution.

On that committee were such men as General-

Post, of Illinois; Colonel Conger, of Ohio, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, and the contest came ud on disagreeing to that report The convention was ten to one against the Vandervoort resolution. The best estimate we could make was that not more than fifty votes were in favor of it " "Can that be constructed as favorable to the President?" By no means. I can fairly say, and I have no hesitation in saying it, that the feeling at St Louis among the veterans was practically unanimously against him. So general and so strong was the feeling that even the Democratic soldiers did not say a word in his favor; and that feeling was not only because of Cleveland's position, but because of his mode and manner of expressing himself. But the Grand Army ' is stronger for cot making a personal issue with Cleveland. Simply as stating what is tbe fact, I can say that there is as much political feeling in tbe Grand Army of the Republic as in any organization in America, and that feeling is almost entirely Republican. But the Grand Army is determined never to make a political utterance as an organization, but simply to teach the people of the country its notions, and to let the political results growing out of its enunciations and principles be what they may."

Tbe President's "Off-Hand" Speeches. Chicago Tribune. The President Dan, what's the next town? Dan Skedunk. The President (wearily) -What are the facts connected with tbe early settlement of the place, etcf Dan (consulting letters, gazetteers and cyclopaedias) Settled in 1857 by colony from New

Jersey. Name Skedunk means the breaking-up of a hard winter. First president of tbe town

board was Hon. Tellus Y. Knott Big fire in 1861 burned down the woolen mill and two liverv

stables. Principal industry, the making of flynets. Population, 2,760.

The President (standing on rear platform of

car a few minutes later) I am rejoiced, Mr. Mayor and fellow-citizens of this thriving young metropolis, to have an opportunity of meeting you and expressing the admiration I have long felt for the City of Skedunk. If my memory

serves rno rightly this beautiful spot was first settled in 1857 by a company of far-seeing men from the eastern portion of our great republic.

It was in the glorious spring time, and the po

etical name of Skedunk. which means early

spring, was bestowed on the live and thrifty

village, which even then gave promise of a glorious future. I am no stranger to the fame of the Hon. Tellus Y. Knott, one of your most distinguished early citizens, and I shall never for

get how the great heart of the country throbbed

in sympathy with you when, in 1861, a consider

able portion of your fair young city was destroyed by fire. But time fails me to speak of your bright prospects for the f utre. of the useful industry the manufaoture of fly-nets which bas done so much to bring the population of

Skedunk up to nearly 0,000. Wild cheering. Move on, fellow-citizens, in the path of honor.

usefulness, and prosperity, stand up in the majesty of your manhood, uphold the institutions of your country, and the name of Skednnic will be glorious through all future ages. Fellow-

Mtizeus, 1 bid you a most kindly farewell.

(Train moves off amid the frantie cneers of the

entire population ) Dan, I'm getting infernally

tired of this business.

That Dismal Reception.

Special to New York Tribune.

Indiana is tbe State of big shows and monster

processions. Jts inhabitants turn out upon the

smallest provocation. The visit of a Democratia

President must certainly be to people here an

event of uncommon interest A Democratic

President bas not been seen within the city

imits of Indianapolis since Martin Van Buren

visited it nearly fifty years ago. Mr. Cleveland

is the first Democratic President whom tbe good people of Indianapolis, a few of tbe oldest inhabitants excepted, have been permitted to

gaze upon in their own home. Yet Mr. Cleve

land's visit did cot excite the enthusiasm nor

draw the crowds which might have been expected

under the circumstances. When Mr. Blaine visited Indianapolis in 1884

the crowd that came to greet him was at least

twiee as ereat as that which welcomed his sue

cessful competitor to-day, and truth compels

the statement that it was ten times more enthusiastic. Never before, indeed, bas a crowd

been seen in the streets of Indianapolis so cold,

so apathetic, so undemonstrative, whose cheers

seemed to have so perfunctory a ring as that of

to-dav. The President could not have helped

noticing it He mnst have recognized that it was idle curiosity rather than loyalty to the chief of a great party, or respect for the high office be fills which drew thousands to the Statehouse to-day to scrutinize him and to get a

glimpse of his lovely wife. ANOTHER VAN VOORHEES SPEAKS.

Delegate Charles Yoorhees Expresses His

. Opinion of President Cleveland Vf. A. Sic Bride, in Cincinnati Jtnquirer.

I met the Hon. Charles S. Voorhees. repre

sentative in Congress for Oregon, and son of Senator Dan Voorhees. He is here visiting

friends. During a conversation he referred to

the interview he had with bis brother Jim at

Detroit a few days ago, and published in the En

quirer at the time. "I do not believe my brother used any such

language," be said. "I have no hesitancy,

though, in saying, so far as I am personally con

cerned, that I do not like Cleveland a d d bit

Of course I have 'nothing to do with my father's views. I spoke for myself, my father being capable of taking care of himself. There never has been a President who bas given the country

such a personal administration as has Mr. Cleveland." "In what resnect?" I asked him.

"In this, that he has himself made almost ail tbe appointments that have been made, and they

were entirely in bis own interest lake, for in

stance, Herbert Beecher, now special govern

ment agent at the port of entry, Puget bound.

He was first appointed collector of that port at

the request of his father, Henry Ward tseecner.

Charges of embezzlement were made against

him, and proved to the Senate committee, to

which the charges were referred, and he failed to

get a confirmation. In spite of all this, at the

recess of Congress, Cleveland made him a special

agent at that port In that capacity his appoint

ment wouid not have to go before the Senate at alL Of course you know Cleveland owed something to his father. In protesting now I protest

as a Democrat Air. Cleveland bas no interest in the party, and the appointment of Beecher will be a loss to our party in Oregon of 5,000

votes. Another is Governor Square. He fought

me bitterly on my election, simply because Uen

eral Bristow. of New York, a mugwump, de

sired it, he having been friendly to Cleveland at

the time of h is election. Mr. Voorhees recited several other instances.

among them being the case of O wings, now Sec-

retary of the State of Oregon.

"Owings took the stump and made a bitter fight against Governor Hendricks, calling' him all sorts of vile names. He also attacked Cleveland. Still, at the request of his brother, an

other New York mugwump, hej is kept in position." Charley is very wratby. and makes a bitter

kick on President Cleveland, saying that tbe

President was actuated entirely by selfish no

tions in making appointments. He will remain here until to-morrow morning, when he joins

bis rather, and will proceed to uasbington.

A Very Narrow Escape. Chicago, Oct 4 Tbe gallantry and presence of mind of a stalwart streetcar-driver saved a dozen women passengers from a horrible death to-day at tbe Division-street crossing of the Chicago & Northwestern railway. As usual when the car neared the crossing the conductor jumped off and ran ahead to the tracks. He saw no sign of danger and signaled the driver to cross. Tbe moment the car was fairly on the tracks, a passenger train came rapidly around a curve just above it The flagman waved his flag and yelled and then let down the gates, hemming the car in on tbe tracks. The conductor made an unsuccessful attempt to force tbe horses back. Just as tbe engine was almost upon them, the driver, Patrick McKeow, struck the horses a powerful blow and tbey jumped forward, clearing tha tracks and breaking down the gate. The conductor, Charles Stolzen, was knocked down and seriously injured, but tbe car and its occupants were landed safe and sound beyond the reach of the swift-moving train.

The liver and kidneys must be kept in good condition. Hood's Sarsapariila is a great remedy for regulating these organs.
