THE rN DI AKAPOIilS JO OKNAL. FRIDAY, BR UAUY 10, 1888.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Will Hakt No Store Concession. The parties owning and controlling the Ohio, Indiana & Western road have reached a point, it is ttated, where there will be no more eoncessions made to the parties controlling the Cleveland, Sandusky & Colombus road, and have, in effect, notified the latter company that they can come and take their property and ooorate the road, and the sooner tbey do so the better. Ae the matter now stand, the passenger equipments of the O., L & W. are run no farther east than Springfield, O., with the exception of the mail and express cars and the Woodruff coaches. All freights are turned over to the lifeline at that point Employes of the O., L & W. continue to work on tbe C, S. & C. using eqaSpments which the C, S. & C turned over to the O., I. & W. when tbe lease was executed, but which are in much better shape than at that time. The same is also true of the road-bed. How long this state of .fairs will exist is a problem, as the C, S. & C. potle, according to the Boston papers, are in no mood to carry out the programme of consolidation as has been talked of for many months. Of course, if the consolidation scheme falls througn. lengthy and ngly litieation will follow, as many knotty questions will arise. The O., L & W. have expended money liberally on the C, S. & C, and wili want to be reimbursed, as the C, S. & C. has yielded no revenue above tbe actual cost of operating it and the rental charges under the lease. The O., L & W. people are disposed to blame the'ofiicers of the C, Js. & C. eompany because the consolidation has not been effected, while the G, S. & C people alleee that under the reorganization they were not aecorded a fair show, the interest1 of those most interested in the O., I. & W. having been the best protected. Then there is a feehne that under the reorganization the bonded debt is not reduced, and that the road will be no better able than before to pay its fixed charges. Tbe Chesapeake & Ohio Reorganization. Niw York, Feb. 9. C. P. Huntington has issued a statement to the holders of Chesapeake & Ohio securities, giving as tbe cause for the steps to be tasen for tbe reorganization of the property that a minority of the holders of the bonds refused' to 'assent to the proposition to scale down the interest. He states - that the mortgage, securing the $15,000,000 bonds will be foreclosed. Advance sheets obtained from Drexel, Morgan & Co., who undertake the reorganization, give the following details: A committee consisting of C. S. Coster and A. J. Thomas, of Drexel, Morgan & Co., and R. J. Cross, of Morton, Bliss & Co., bare been appointed to carry out the plan. The present mortgage, securing $15,000,000 B bonds, will be foreclosed and a new company organized with tbe following securities: First raortgaee 5 per cent, bonds. $30,000,-. 000; first preferred 5 per cent nen-eumulative stock, $12,000,000; second preferred 5 per cent, con-cumulative stock, $12,000,000; common stock, $40,000,000; total issue of stocks and bonds, $94,000,000. The old securities will be exchanged as follows: Bonds having lien prior to the B series will be exchanged at par for new. firsts. Tbe $15,000,000 B bonds will receive twothirds of their face in new firsts, and the balance in first preferred stock. The present first preferred stocks will be assessed $4 per share, the second preferred stock $6 per share, and the common stocks $8 per share. For the assessment paid, new first preferred stock will be siren. All stockholders, both eomoxm and preferred, who pay the assessment will Receive common stock in exchange for present hzliings. The reorganization provides for the depletion of the Ohia river extension from Ashx&nd to Cincinnati, including tbe bridge at that point. The completion of this extension will be paid for out of the proceeds of the bonds, which a syndicate guarantees to place at 90. The voting power of the new stock will be vested for five years in J. Pierpont Morgan, Jobn Crosby Brown and George Bliss. The Ticket-Brokers. Louisville, Feb. 9. Tbe executive board of the American Ticket-brokers' Association is holding its regular quarterly meeting at the general offices of the company in this city. The attention of the board is especially being directed against legislation in Congress hostile to the business of members of the association. It appears that Chairman Blanchard, of the Central Traffic Association, of Chicago, bas prepared, and is now urging the passage of two amendments to the interstate law, making the under-billing of freight a criminal offense, punishable by fine and imprisonment, and treating in like manner ell who may buy or sell railway tickets witbont

special license from some railway company. It was decided that some specific action should be

taken to guard against possible surprise, so two

members were delegated to go to Wasniogton,

and there remain to watch the progress of - events, with full power to employ counsel, if needed, to secure the proper presentation of

the brokers' cause in Congress. Adverse Report on Condoctori' Licenie Bill. Washington, Feb. 9. The House committee on labor, to-day, after hearing further arguments on the bill to license railway conductors, authorized Mr. Burnett, of Massachusetts, to report it to the House adversely. The committee will request the agriculture committee of the House to eliminate from the bill to organize an executive department of agriculture and labor all tbe provisions in the bill relating to labor. It is probable that Mr. O'Neil will soon introduce a till looking to the establishment of a department of labor.

Personal, Local end State Notes. Innis Hopkins has been appointed contracting agent of the Vandalia with headquarters at St Liouia , Judge Greaham has authorized Receiver McNnlta to expend $300,000 in improving bridges on the Wabash road and purchasing new rails. The passenger .earnings of the Bee line, thus far tbis year, have shown a handsome increase over those of the corresponding period of 1837. The Atlantic & Pacific road is asking carworks in this State to bid on 500 box cars to be equipped with the Wagner door and air brakes. The Bee-line is renumbering the locomotives froml to 398, which will be the number on the system when the new ones ordered are received. D. T. MeCabe, assistant general freight agent of tbe Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, is in the city for a day or two looking over matters. I In the month of January the Chicago & Eastern Illinois hauled 162,000 tons of block coal from the Clay county block coal mines, against 100,000 tons in January, 1887. Commissioner Fink has notified the roads in the Central Traffic Association that tbey must at once protect themselves or become involved in the rate troubles of the Western lines. The American Express Company, it is stated, is to increase its territory largely in the Northwest by adding some 1,300 miles of roads that the Chicago, Burlington & Qaincv road owns or controls. " Ticket agents in this territory who are allowed to take commissions are in an excellent frame of mind, the Western roads having doubled their commissions on sale of tickets by their respectire routes. The Bee-line people are so well pleased with the coal-ears which the Indianapolis car-works are building for them that as soon as tbe present order for 200 is filled, they will place an additional order for 300 to be delivered within the next f oar months. A very friendly feeling has sprung up of late between tbe Lake Erie & Western road and the Chicago & Alton, and within a few days the two roads will establish a joint office at this point, taking the room on South Illinois street occupied by Allen & Co., lumber dealers. Tbe freight-car mileage on the main line of tbe Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago road, in January, reached 2,041,053 miles, the largest mileage ever made on the road in one month with one exception. That was in December. 1886. when tbe C, I, St L. & C, and the Chicago & Rock Island were under so close a traffic agreement that it caused trouble with tbe Chicago roads and came sear bringing on an ugly rate war. B. F. floixer, general ticket and passenger agent of the Nickel-plate, and F. H. Crane, general superintendent of the Woodruff Sleepingrar Company, were in the city yesterday, in conference with General Ticket Agent Bronson, of the Ohio. Indiana & Western. The conference may lead to the putting on of a line of Woodruff cars between Peoria and Buffalo. N. y., over the two rouds. One of tbe most noticeable features of freight traffic er the eait and-west lines passing through Indianapolis is the large increase of merchandise moving to the West and Southwest, exceeding that of early 1887 fully 15 per cent, and freight agents estimate that it is 50 per cent heavier than three years ago. The better time nd the belter equalization of rates have turned the business from the more noithern lines over tbe midland routes. President Ashley, of the Wabssh Western road, and one oi tbe members of tbe purchasing committee or tbe Wabash proper, says that the plan for a reorganization of the Wabash will be success, the purchasing committee having the

advantage in the matter. The new plan eontemplates the foreclosing of all the mortgages. A majority of the bondholders, he says, favor such action. He predicts that within eight months the reorganization will be perfected. The eight new bridges which have been built on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago road within the last few months were constructed on the calculation that they would be subjected to a rolling load of 3.500 pounds per lineal foot. On most roads in this country the calculation is that a rolling load of 2,600 pounds will be the limit. The C. St L & P. Railroad Company have just let a contract to H. G. Morse, of tbe Edgemoor iron-works, for a four-span steel bridge, to replace their iron bridge at Steuben ville. The new structure is to be built for double-track road under their new specifications, making this bridge about the heaviest . in the country for the length of the span. An idea of the Immense amount of material in the bridge may be conveyed by stating that a change of 500 pounds of allowed strain per sqnare inch will make a difference of 100,000 pounds on the weight of the structure. . Chicago shippers are muoh disturbed and threaten to give- the roads carrying the Eastbound business seriou3 trouble unless they remedy matters. On grain and flour shipped from tbe Northwest through Chicago the prorate from Chicago to New York ia but twentyfive cents a hundred pounds, while if the property is shipped direct from Chicago to New York the rate is twenty seven and one-half cents a hundred pounds. Indianapolis shippers have had the same trouble to contend with for some months but have not as yet been able to remedy it, and if Chicago shippers can hit npon some plan to do so Indianapolis shippers will soon follow in their wake. Regarding the threat that the Illinois Central will build a line to the block coal regions of Indiana should the Chicago & Eastern Illinois parallel them and extend to St Louis, the Bos

ton Advertiser says: "Insiders of the C. & J& I. profess indifference about the matter, claiming that tbe Eastern Illinois own practically all the coal properties at or near Brazil, and let the Illinois Central build as much as tbey will, they can, under no circumstances, get any coal freight in that quarter." Tbis will be news in the West Tbe Terra Haute & Indianapolis really controls the mines of Brazil and its immediate vicinity, owning thirty-three milea of track leading to all the principal mines of the block coal regions.

Columbia Theater in Trouble.

Chicago. Feb. 9. The ColumbialTheater was

guarded by a half dozen constables last night

while the evening performance was in progress. A distress warrant for a month's rent $3,600, bad been served on tbe theater by Jamea B. Carson, the railway magnate, who owns the property. Daniel Shelby was requested by Mr. Carson to continue as manager. Mr. Shelby lays the embarrassment of the theater to J. M. Hill, one of tbe stockboleers. Mr. Hill has had charge of the booking of attractions. Mr. Hill's friend claims the bookings were all right but that the rent was exorbitant The troubles' of tbe theater are of old standing. Built by Mr. Carson in ninety days for "Jack" Haverly; transferred into the bands of Mr. C H. McConnell by reason of Mr. Haverly's indebtedness; leased by a company which comprised the names of J. M. Hill. D. K Hill, Margaret Mather, Messrs. Hopkins and Marsh; managed by Daniel Shelby, of the Academy of Masie, who bought Mr. McConnell's stock for $10,500 in cash and $30,000. in notes. The theater has passed through various fortunes from the day when Ellen Terry christened it the Columbia till General Carson entered with a distress warrant. Mr. Shelby was selected as manager by Mr. nil!, tbe president of the company, bat disputes soon arose, and ever since Mr. Shelby has had charge it went from bad to worse. Mr. Newman, a lawyer who represents Mr. Hill, ears that Mr. McConnell will probably be the future manager of the house.

A Triple Tragedy. Minneapolis Feb. 9. The little town of New Prague, Minn., on the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, about forty miles south of Minneapolis, is in a fever of excitement over the most horrible tragedy in the history of that part of the State. Farmer John Janauschek, residing a mile south of that town, is dead by bis own hand, and bis wife lies by his side, murdered by her husband. Their daughter, a girl of ten, lies at the point of death, with a bullet in her head from her father's pistol. The shooting occurred at 7 o'clock last night, and the news was carried to New Prague by a crippled step-son of the murderer. Janauschek married a widow, the murdered woman, about twelve years ago, but they never lived happily together, the principal bone of contention being some property belonging to the wife, of which the husband desired to become possessed. Once before he had threatened to kill her, and had purchased a revolver for thatpurpose. Yesterday morning she filed preliminary papers in a suit for divorce, g While her son, by a former marriage, was in Le Sueur, attending to the matter, Janauschek went to Jordan, bought a revolver, and returning to his home,coramenced tbe work of slaughter, with tbe above results. He was a hard drinker and bore a bad reputation in the community.

Women's Rights in Church, Cleveland, O., Feb. 9. The Polish people who comprise the congregation of the Anshe Emeth Synagogue, in Erie street are in a turmoil over a question of reform. Heretofore it bas been customary for the men in the congregation, they being tbe legal members of the Synagogue, to sit alone in the body of the church during services, the women being compelled to occupy tbe gallery. This observance is objected to by

certain or toe trustees ana members, wbe wish

to give their wives and daughters equal rights

If you have all, or any considerable number of these symptoms, you are suffering from that most common of American maladies Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more complicated your disease has become, the greater the number and diversity of symptoms. No matter what stage it has reached, Dr. Pierce's Golden s Medical Discovery will subdue it, if taken according to directions for a reasonable length of time. If not cured, complications multiply and Consumption of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite

liable to set in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood-purifying organ, cleanses the system of all blood-taints and impurities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kidneys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases. As an appetizing restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases.

" COLITMBT7S,. OHIO, Aug. 13th, 1887. World's "Dispensary, Mbsicaij Association, 663 Main Street, JijtuTalo, N. Y. : GentZcTJieu-VFor several years I have felt it to be my duty to giv to. you the facts in relation to the Qompleteecure of a most aggravated case of .salt-rheum, by the uasof your Golden Medical Discovery.? An elderlv ladv

relative of mine had been a great sufferer from salt-rheum for upwards of forty years. The disease was mostr distressing in her hands, causing the skin to crack open orf'tbe iiiside of the fingers at the joints and between the fingers. She was Dbliged to protect the raw places by means of adhesive piasters 6alves, ointments and bandages, and during the winter months had lo have her hands dressed daily. The pain was quite severe at times and her general health was badly affected, paving the way fop other diseases to creep in. Catarrh and rheumatism caused a treat deal of suffering in addition to the salt-rheum. She had UBed faithfully, and with the most commendable perseverance, all the remedies prescribed by her physicians, but without obtaining relief. She afterwards began treating herself by drinking teas made -from blood-purifying roots and herbs. She continued this ior several years but derived no benefit. Finally, about ten years ago, I chanced to read one of Dr. Pierce's small pamphlets setting forth the merits of his Golden Medical Discovery ' and other mtli&aes. The name struck

my fancy, and seeing that it was essentially a blood-purifier, I immediately recommended it to the old lady who had been so long a sufferer from salt-rheum. She commenced taking it at once, and took one bottle, but seemed to be no better. However, I realized that it would take time for any medicine to effect a change for the better and encouraged her to continue. She then purchased a half-a-dozen bottles, and before these had all been lised she began to notice an improvement. After taking about a dozen bottles she was entirely cured. Her hands were perfectly well and as smooth and healthy as a child's. Her general health was also greatly improved: the rheumatism entirely left her, and the catarrh was almost cured, so that it ceased to be much annoyance. She haa enjoyed excellent health from that day to this, and has had no return ofeither salt-rheum or rheumatism. The 'Discovery seems to have entirely eradicated the salt-rheum from her system. She is now over eighty years old, and very healthy for one of such, extreme age.

After being treated by several physicians for a year or two she commenced the use of the medicine named above. She soon began to mend and is now well and hearty.

The nutritive properties of extract .of malt and cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those possessed by the " Discovery." It rapidly builds up the system, and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by "wasting diseases."

! Solomon Bctts, of North Claffton," Miami Co., Ohio, writes: "I have itob tiaeiwords to express mv- gratitude for the i good your 'Golden Medical Discovery ' -baa done my

wife. She was taken with consumption, and after trying one doctor after another I finally gave up all hope of relief. Being very poor and having but one dollar in the world, I prayed to God that he might show me something ; and then it seems as thodgh something did tell me to get your Golden Medical Discovery. My wife took it as directed, and as a result she is so she can work' now. 1 Wastlnf Disease. Watson F. Clarke, Esq., uIIrED of (Box 104), Summcrsidc, Prince Edward'pland, nr. n Can., writes: " I would like to give you -a1 slight 7 S HOilNn testimonial for the benefits which I have) received s.w i wmiw. from your preparations during the past twelve months. When I commenced taking your Golden Medical Discovery I did so at the solicitation of J. A.tGormlie, druggist, of this place. He had sold me many other preparations, always recommending your Discovery,' which I did not take, owing to prejudice. However, I finally took his advice and your medicine, and have never been sorry for cither, as I am to-day a healthy man, while one year ago I was not able to 'work and was a burden to myself. At that time I weighed 123 pounds, and today I weigh 147 pounds. Then I used to eat about one meal a day, and now can eat four or five if 1 dared to. After all these benefits, how can I refrain from adding my testimonial, unsolicited, to the thousands already in your possession." Chest Disease. E. B. Norman, Esq., of Anon, Georgia, says: " I think the Golden" Medical Discovery is the best medicine for pain in the chest that I have ever known. I am sound and well, and I owe it all to the 'Discovery.'

W. R. Davis. Esq., of BeKviUe, Florida.,

writes: "I have taken your wonderful

Golden Medical Discovery' and have been

cured of the worst case of consumption. I am now sound and well, and have only spent three dollars, and I would not take three

thousand dollars and be put back where I was. I am endeavoring to have all my neighbors keep your remedies in the house."

Cough gf Five Years' STAKDiNS.

Mrs. N. W. Rice, of Newfane, Vermont, says : " I feel at liberty to acknowledge the benefit I received from two bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' which cured a cough of five years standing, and dyspepsia, from which I had suffered for a long time. I have also used Dr. Pierce's Extract

mmmt of Smart -Weed, or Water Pepper, ia my

family, with good effect." Raised Blood. I. K. Cox, Esq., of Wales Centre, 2V. PU writes : ' I was troubled with pain in the chest, and raised quantities of bVood, and was unable to do any work for several months, but after taking three bottles of your ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and several vials of the Pellets,' I am now able to do considerable work, and gain very rapidly."

Luno Disease.

Mrs. Martha Owen, of Carthage, Jasper Co Mo writes : " I was treated for several years by some of the best physicians for consumption without receiving any benefit. Soon after I commenced taking Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery and Favorite PreRcrintion all the svmntoms of consumDtioh van

ished. I wish also to report the cure of one of my neighbors who was a great sufferer from womb disease, and was permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription."

Asthma Cured.

Carrie S. Btowell, Postmistress at Magnolia, Colorado, writes : " I feel that I cannot say too much in praise of your 'Golden Medical Discovery,' for 1 have found that it is of golden worth. It has helped both my husband and myself. Two years ago Mr. Stowell was afflicted with what appeared

to be asthma, and our altitude being so high, the difficulty in breathing attendant upon this distressing malady was greatly increased. But he began to improve at once after commencing the use of your 'Discovery," and was entirely cured by this wonderful medicine. As for myself, I have used it for nervous and general debility, and for an affection of the kidneys and bladder, and I found that it was without a rival for these complaints. We are now never without your ' Discovery. " Mrs. W. H. Nicklin, of Marlborough, N. Y., aj-s: "When I first began taking your 'Favorite Prescription,' 'Golden MedicalI Discovery, and 'Pellets,' I was so weak I could not be on my feet but a few minutes at a time. Tbey did me a great deal of good, and I take pJeasure in expressing my gratltude to you for the excellent health I now enjoy. When I first wrote you I was said to bo in the first stage of consumption."
