THE ESTDIAKAPdlilS JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY. PEBRUATJY 1, 1888.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS, X-ocl and biate Notes.

Eery road running out of Cleveland as

veil a out of Indianapolis baa adopted some

form of a two-cent-a mile mileage book.

The Bee-line people expect to get the line of

Sleeping coaches, taken off a few tnontns ago do

tween St. Lotus and Albany. N. Y., replaced.

The Pennsylvania Company his awarded tbe

contract of building an oil oouse. a and hoise and coal elevator, at Louisville. Ky., similar to

thoaa at Indianapolis, for $12,000.

ti-eorge A. Sanderson, formerly general freight

aeert of the Indiananolis. Decatur & fcprine

field road, baa been ar-pointad general freight

agent of the Fort Worth & Denver road. The report that the Chicago & Eastern Illi nois ia to he, rlaeei under tbe same manage

mentofthe Chicaeo. Milwaukee & St. Paul ia

denied by the higher officials of both roada.

A few feet over foar acrea of ground are

placed under roof by the buildine of the new

Union Railwar station. Work was resumed yea

tsrdar on the tower of the atation and on the

beds. The annual report of the Freight Trade Asso

einrion of the Middle Statss. comprising fifty

roada. shows that the earmnes of tbe roads in

1887 were nearly $20,000,000 in excess of the

earning of 1386. The Indiana midland seems to be under

elond. at least for tbe time being. The bridge washed out a few weeka ago nas not yet been

replaced, and train service east of Westfield is

at a standstill.

bamael liazzara, wno ior several years rep

resented one of tbe Erie fast-freight lines at this

point, baa been in tbe city for a day or two. He has just accepted a good position on one of the

Minnesota roads.

Albert Stein, ex general freight agent of the) Indiana Midland line, bus been appointed con-

. trading agent of the Bine lice, with head

quarter at Indianapolis, the appointment to

take effect to-day. Richmond De Pny has been appointed vice

president, and J. M. Egan general manager of

the Chicago, bt. Paul & Kansas City road the

. appointments to take effect to-day. The head' quarters of both will be at St Paul. . . . .

Monday next the Ohio & Mississippi road

commences to run passenger trains into Louisville via New Albany, over tbe Kentucky and Indiana bridge. For the present freight busi

ness will be handled at Jeffersonville as hereto

fore.

Tha stockholders of the Indianapolis, Eel River & Western road are still determined to

keep up the organization, and they say event

nally will build tbe road. On the 8th of next month the stockholders will meet in this city and

elect directors for tbe ensuing year. The roads centering at Buffalo, N. Y., have decided to build an immense nnion depot at that point. The dt-pot proper will eclipse the one now building at Indianapolis, but the train sheds

will cot be as extensive as those IrVre. Tbe sta

tion proper will.be seven etoriesMiigh, containing tbe railroad offices. The Lake Shore road has decided to place on ale nve-thousand-mile tickets, good over its entire eyst-m, the Bee-line and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie. It is believed that the Michigan Central will take similar action, and that in the r.ear fotur the Erie will fall into line, making their tickets good over the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio. It is quite evident that many of the short roads in Indiana and Illinois are to hae hard sledding for a few months to come, and some will not more than earn operating expenses. They have no grain to move and but little live stock; their tonnage conseqently is reduced to a light local traffic, and under the present low rates the revenue derived therefrom is smalL At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Little Miami Railroad Company, yesterday, the following named were elected directors: A, D. Bullock, Henry Hanna. Frank J. Jones, John Mitchell. August Trum, John L. Whetstone, A. S. Frazier, L. B. Harrison, Thos. D. Messier, Joe. II. Rogers, Lewis Van Antwerp, Wm Worthington. It is stated thai the Pennsylvania Companv is In the field to secure control of the Toledo. Peoria & Western road, as well as President Ingalls, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago. It would be a valuable road to either. Tbe T., P. & W. connects with the Pennsylvania at State Line, and now gets considerable business from it. It Is believed in railroad circles that tbe election of E. B. Thomas aa second vice-president of tbe Erie road, with headquarters at Cleveland, will prove a good thing for the Bee-line, and lead to tbe establishment of more friendly

relations between the two roads, as Mr. Thomas has a kindly interest in the Bee-line, and is on the most friendly terms with the present officials. The continued growth of freight traffic in that part of tbe South where tbe new iron and coal

Interests are being developed is shown by the

Increase in net earnings of the roads in that

territory, for 1877, the Norfolk & .Western

showing an increase of 100 per cent; the Mem

phis & Charleston, an increase ef 119 per cent.

and the Nashville & Chattanooga an increase of

22 J per cent.

Ciucmnatt papers put in circulation a report that the Chesapeake & Ohio road ia to become an important through line in 'connection with

the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chi

eago. and thatM. E. Ingalls is to be made presi-

aent or Dotn companies. The Chesaneake Xr.

Ohio has been gaining in popularity as a passenger and freight route greatly the lat year, as

its trains reach Baltimore and Washington

reguiariy on scneauie time.

It is only one year since the movement to stop the paying of commissions on the sale of tickets was inaugurated by tbe trunk lines. Since then the roads in the Central Traffic Association have fallen into line, and to-day the Cnicago & Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific cease the payment of commissions. Indications are that all tbe roads running west out of Chicago

win within a lew days take advanced stps in

mis direction, u tney ao not at once agree to

cease paying commissions.

It is thought that the Atchison, Topeka &

obdwiib ia oeoina tne project or banding a road from Litchfield to Springfield, 111. Should this prove true, the Indianapolis. Decatur Rr.

Western road would be benefited, as bvbuildin 0 T- . c : n.u - . -

iruui uwiiur ii oMrioKiieia, as mey intend Going, they will secure a connection with a branch of th Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. In fact, it would not be a surprise should the A.. T. & S. F., at no distant day, gather in the I., D. & W., thus securing a valuable Eastern outlet. Tbe interstate law bas been rather an expensive affair to tbe larger roads which paid any attention to its provisions. Since it took effect tbe changes in tariffs have been very frequent, and still a good deal must be done before the rates are properly adjusted on all clashes of freight. It is stated that such j-oads as the Pennsylvania and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul have expended on tariff sheets over $40,000. Some mads have gone into tbe matter on a more elaborate scale, it is thought, than the law really required. , It is estimated that 15 per cent of the through business is carried in refrigerator cars. The Merchants' Dispatch alone has 2.100 cars in constant service, and is building 800 more. The Union line has 1.500. and ia adding largely to this number. Many of the packing houses also have refrigerator cars of their own. The Beeline bandies fiftv ears a day in carrying dressed rneats. poultry and eggs East, and bringing perishable articles West, and the Pennsylvania lines are daily handling Urge numbers. No branch of freight service has developed more tbe last two years than this. An old railroad project under a new name has been revived in the Southwestern part of the State. The new road is to be called the Seymour & Southwestern. The company proposes to use tbe line surveyed by the defuoct EvansTil le, Bellefontaine & Sandusky company, of which Robert Pattison was the leader. The new company propose to build from Seymour to

Jasper via Browston, Orleans, French Lick, and HiUbam. At Jasper connection is made with the Evantville branch of the Louisville, Evausvi lie & St. Louis road, which will give a good direct route from Evansville to Seymour, where connections will be made with the Pennsylvania linos and tbe Ohio & Mississippi for Cincinnati.

day in the year, whether in milk or not, and has kept a minute account, so as to satisfy himself whether liberal feeding will pay him or not. The result justifies his expectations. Little Conveniences. JEdith Stabl, Jn Country Gentleman. There are women who for years have done the daily cooking for a family, and never a pot-lifter in the whole time. They lifted hot utensils about with a damp dish-eloto, or a handful of their arena skirt, or anything that came handy, as the scars on their hands and wrists testify. Think of the pain, ill-temper and scorched aprons and dresses a few pot-lifters might have saved! And they are so simply made. You need only to make a cushion of two circular pieces of some strong, beavy fabric I prefer bed-ticking Or unbleached, or colored, canton flannel about eight inches in diameter, filled with batting. A good pattern is made by laying a small dinner-plate on the cloth and marking around it; your first impreasion on removing the plate may be that it is going to be large enough for a door-mat, but it takes up wonderfully in sewing and stuffing. Besides, you want it large, a lifter small enough, to allow the hand to slip off oa a hot handle - is a constant vexation of spirit. It should be large enough to protect both hands, if necessary. Baste tbe batting to the cover before sewin? it together; this keeps it more evenly distributed. When sewing op the opening left for turning the holder right side out, insert a loop of tape by wbich to hang it up. Make several. Then do not hang them in tbe closet or tbe furthest end of tbe pantry, but over the baking table or behind the stove, juat where they will be at hand when needed. Another article equally indispensable is a board upon which to set pots wbile taking up the contents. It is inconvenient to do the "dishing up" from the stove, to say nothing of the extra polishing we thereby make ourselves, while to ruin the paint or oilcloth on a table, or the bottom of an inverted plate, as I have seen done, by setting a hot pan or skillet on it, is something the majority of us cannot afford. These boards "crock-covers," we call them are very useful for covering jars; but the one used for a pot-staud should be used for that exclusively. Nail a strip of leather to hang it by, for in a model kitchen all such things are hung up and not strewn around. Wbile one is attending to tbe pot lifters, it is a good time to see to the supply and condition or her iron-holders. They are most convenient oblong, about four inches' by seven, and tL most suitable material is bleached canton flannel. Iron-holders should never be of colored cloth. Many a smirch on some fine, white garment comes from dropping a dark or soiled holder upon it. These are not to be hung up, but kept with the ironing sheets in a closet. As they are needed only once a week and must not be soiled, they can be put away more carefully than frequently used articles. In our list of homely little housekeeping necessities is found "feather brooms." Turkey wings are very useful to brush up hearths, while these brooms, made of single stiff turkey feather bound together, are superior to whisk brooms for use on fine rugs and carpets. Often a cham

ber tbat is not in need of a thorough sweeping, looks the better for being "brushed up," and such a broom is found to do it nicely. Once made, they never "go a begging" for a iob.

Care of Animals. There is no season of the year in which animals require more careful attention than on the approach of spring. There is much truth in the old saying that an animal well wintered is half summered. If the winter happens, as is some times the case, to be lenethened out, and the supply of fodder is rucnine low, there is a strong temptation to squeeze th rough with the supply on hand, which will so reduce animals in condi tion as to require a long time for recuperation Animals should have, at thrs season of the.

year, all that tney will eat and of tbe best

quality. It is a mistake to hold the Doorer fodder till towards spring and then compel animals to eat it from necessity. If it must be fed at all. let it be done early in the winter, so that the supply that is left for later use may be of

the very best. A portion of the roots and other

feed should be held until this season, so as to give as great variety aa possible, and so tempt tne appetite, which, from the long use of dry

fodder, has become weakened. Don't neglect

the animals.
