AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. P., C. & St. Li. Stockholders. 1 CoLtTUBcrs. O., March 20. The annn&l meeting of the stockholders of the Pittshure, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad Company was bsld in this city to-day. Tbe annual report for 1887 was submitted and read by the secretary, showing tbe main line's gross earnings to be $5,808,$59 30, beiae over $1,000,000 greater than 18S6, and at the rate f $2.1,200 per mil of road operated. The expenses were $4,017.218 63, aa increase of $886.528 34, of which increase $025,000 about represents the amount expanded durine the year . in important betterments t" the property, such as second track, chareed to expense", bat which, will largely increase its future earning capacity. The net earnings were $1.701,15y.65. to whicQ add interest on investments, etc.. $o.777.8o. making the total net revenne for 1887. $1,796,930.90, an increase of $170.056 62. Deducting the amount paid for interest on bonds, ete , $973,861.52, leaves a net profit on the main line for the yar of $823,075.38, an increase of $43,739 4a The net amout paid on account of deficit on leased lines was $220.127 95. leaving a snrplns on all lines, for 1SS7, of $002,947.43, an increase of fcJ63.954.54. The aggregate tonnage on all lines a increased over one million tons. "The number of passengers have increased over 300,000. The directors elected were: G. B. Roberts, Henrv II. Houston, Wistar Morris, J. N. Du-

Barry, John Price Wetherill. John P. Green and William H. Barnes, ot Philadelphia; J. N. McCullouen, William Thaw, Thomas D. Messier aod Jnmes McCrea, of Pittsburg; Robert Eherrard. jr., aod George W. McCook, of Stenbenville. The board will organize at a later day. T Personal, Locl and State INotws. Thirty locomotive engineers from the New England StatB passed through here yesterday n route West. Cornelius Vanderbilt, of the New York Central lines, with his farailr, sail for Europe next Week, to be absent all summer. The Indiana Midland passenger business is yielding a lar?r revenue than its freight traffic, much to the surprise of the management. The Lnk-a Snore road, on Monday last, laced en sale 5,000-mile tickets. One of the conditions requires the purchaser of this ticket to paste his photograph on the book. East-bound traffic on Chicago roads is down to a minimum, as well as on Indianaoolis lines. The ten Chicago lines last week forwarded but 65,022 tons, or 11,065 tons less tbaD in 1887. Western freight agents have been notified by the Erie people that they are well cleared of the delayed freights on account of the snow blockade of last week, and again moving all freights promptly. The L-, N. A. & C. shows a decrease in earnings of $7,141 the second week of Mareh, as compared with 1887. The E. & T.H. shows an increase of $914; the Chicago & Eastern Illinois an Increase of $3,900. The Cleveland Leader says that David Me- . Cargo, superintendent of the Allegheny Valley road, will be appointed manager of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago road, in place of W.A. Baldwin, resigned. Curtis McCoy, inventor and patentee of the railroad sand-sweeper, which is being tested with good results on several Indiana roads, is in the city conferring with the Lake Erie & Western people regarding its adoption on their lines. The Central Traffic Association report shows that in Febuary the Bee line carried 67.3 per cent, of the live stock traffic east from Indianapolis, the C , St L. & P. 23.4 per cent., the C, 1., St. L. & C. 6.7, theC., EL & L L9 per cent, the O., L & W. 4 per cent. Work is dragging again on the new Union depot For a week past practically nothing has been done on the sheds. Assistant Chief Engineer Doran is not satisfied with the work on the shed, and has ordered a portion of it taken down, which will further delay matters somewhat. General Passenger Agent Martin, of the Beelice, has some well-substantiated charges of cutting passenger rates by the Wabash. General Passenger Agent Snow, of that road, professes ignorance of any such transaction. To one party the rate was cut $3 a head on fifteen persons. It is believed that M. E. In sails has something to do with the building of the projected Louisville, Cincinnati & Dayton road." His track now reaches Aurora, and ie will simply be extended to Madison, tbe original projectors of the L., C. & D. having nothing to do with the proposed extension. The popularity of mileage tickets on Indiana . - Toads lffBowD by their extensive nse on the L. , 23. A. & C road. On one train, this week, were thirty-seven through passengers, and thirty-two of them traveled on mileage tickets. It is said fully one-third the travel over tbe L., N. A. & C. is carried on this class of tickets. Tbe Wabash road is building several engines at the snops in Springfield, 111., in tne construction of which several devices of Master Mechan ic Barnes will be introduced. But few master mechanics have invented more useful improve ments to the locomotive than Mr. Barnes. His spark-arresting stack is one of the most satis factory now in use. ; Ex-President Rice, of the projected Chicago, Lodi & Southeastern road, was in the city yesterday. He seems sanguine that the road will be built from Covington to Brazil, and probably a branch to Terre Haute. Maj. J. J. Shafer. who on Monday was e ected president of the company, is going over tbe proposed line talking subsidies, and is receiving much encouragement. It is understood that a laree per cent of the emnloyes recently discharged in the shops of tbe Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago road in Ft. Wayne will be put at work again on the first of next month, unless the strikes should assume a more serious phase. The company, when business is good, is short of power, and had planned to build a large number of engines at the Ft Wayne shops. . Tbe officers of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis road have been very much amused over tbe telegrams sent over the country the last few days stating that a strike was imminent on that road, the engineers declining to haul C, B. & Q ears. The rant is that in the last teu days there has been but one C, B. & Q. car on their line, and that is an empty one standing on a side-track. Tbe local freight ageota' association has appointed CoL Grav, of tbe Pennsylvania lines, to meet tbe governors of the Board of Trade and aak tbem to approve of the trunk lines' request for the passage of a law providing for the punishment of shippers who misrepresent the character or under-Dili the weight of their shipments. The measure has already received the indorsement of many boards of trade. So far as the excursion from Indianapolis to Kansas aod Texas, yesterday, was concerned, it was a water-haul for all but the Lake Erie & .Western road. From here the L. E. & W. secured seventeen passengers, aod from points on their line enough to make ud two car-loads, which shey turned over to the Chicago & Alton at Bloomiogton. The Ohio, Indiana & Western lathered up on their Hue a oouple of chair car oads. It is understood that L. D. Richardson will be the superintendent of the Inspection and Weighing Association to be established by the Central Traffic Association. Hi headquarters is to be in Buffalo, N. Y. ; salary $2,000 a year. J. B. Eckroan. seoretary of the Indianapolis Weiehicg Association, declined to accept so responsible a position at less man .ow a year. There is to be a traveling inspector, whose salary is to be fl.500. ' The engineers on the Ohio, Indiana & Western road are deserving of complimentary notice that, under the circumstances surrounding them, they haul ears of the C, B. & Q. road. The existence of th O., I. & W. hing-s on an interchange of traffic with that road. Recently tbe relations between the two roads were somewhat strained, but a short time ago harmony was re established, and traffic baa been handsomely increased in the last few weeks. Miscellaneous Items. The Southern Pacific has opened a ticket office In th City of Mexico. Articles of incorporation have been filed of the Bismarck & Missouri River railway, and this has given a boom tc property in Bismarck and territory through which the road will pass. The Northwestern Railroader has compiled a table giving a summary of the prospective railway construction in the Northwest during 1883. It divides it into classes, and. u nder tbe bead of certain to be built enumerates 1.375 miles; probable, 3,556; possible, 1,742, aod in tho air about ?,e00 miles. Last week the business men of Fort Scott slaeed an eight-day clock in the waiting-room sf the K. C, Ft S. & G. depot, just completed. The time piece is said to be an eiegant piece of furniture, and was presented in appreciation of tbe excellent terminal facilities the company lias at that point There were in the employ of the C B. & Q. road, when the strike was inaugurated, 1.056 engineers. All but one went out and only six bae returned. Owing to the lieht traffic tbe eorrpanv d-trniined to reduce the number of ngineera 25 per cent, aud now have in their employ 792 eb?ineers. The agents of the Pittsburg. Ohio and Indiana eoal road were in session at Chicago yesterday, end formally agreed to advance the coal rates rom tie mit.es to Chisago, ia September next,

from $2 to $2.20 per ton. The unnual eontraets for delivery expire Sept 1, but the contracts for tbe ensuing year are made during tne previous summer, and it was in order to reach a basis for the ensuing year that tbe advance was agreed on so far ahead of the date of its going into effect The flour, grain and provisions shipped East

from Chicago by rail last weekjaggregated 42,157 tons, an increase of 2.832 tons over the previous week. The Vanderbiit reads took 34.7 per cent . the Pennsylvania lines 35.9, tbe Chicago & Grand Trunk 22.3. the Baltimore & Ohio 6.6 and the Big Four .5 per out " What is known as the Seattle road is likely to become an important one. It is projected to extend from Seattle, on Puget sound, eastward over the Cascade mountains and across tbe wheat belt of eastern Washington to WallaWalla and Spokane. Eighty miles of road is already under contract, and twenty miles doit in operation. A rate-war is threatened in Mexioe. A ratewar there would present entirely different features from one in the United States, for in Mexico railroad rates, both for freignt and passenger traffic, are regulated by the government, and if any cuts are made it will have to be done in the form of rebates, to operate as soon as American territory is reached. In order to indnce the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul Railroad Company to Tefrain from removing their shops from Dubuque, the Board of Trade of that city has asked the Governor of Iowa to withdraw the cases instituted against that road and the Illinois Central to compel a rednetion in switching charges at Dubuque, and the switching of cars , of other roads destined to competitive points. On condition that the board pay the accrued costs this has been agreed to. Tbe spere of woman's activity increases from year to year. Here is what Mr. Tom Ambrose himself "n old sleeping-car conductor, says in, the St Louis Globe-Democrat: "There is no reason why women should not be employed as conductors on sleeping ears. Women ean do all the work required equally as well as men, and I am not sure but that they ean do it better. A very large percentage of sleeping oar passengers are ladies, and for that ' reason it comes within the scope of employment for ladies. For one, I would be glad to see one of the big companies try tae experiment That it would be satisfactory, both to the companies and the public, there ia little doubt It would give employment to thousands of women, aod tbe men they would displace could hustle around and find something else to da" CURRENT PUBLICATIONS. "Esther the Gentile," by Mrs. Mary W. Hudson, ia prefaced as "a Western production, written by a Kansas woman and published by a Kansas book-house." It has somewhat of a Kansas flavor. Tbe plot of the story turns on the adventnres of a beautiful girl whose weakminded father became a convert to Mormonism and removed to Salt Lake. The heroine's adventnres there were, of course, novel and painful. but the story ends by" ber marrying the man of her choice, as is very plainly foreshadowed from tbe beginning. The evils of polvgamy are depicted with considerable force, but the plot of the story is crude and rather strained. Published by J. K. Hudson, Topeka, Kan. A new work on a somewhat thread-bare subject is "The Icelandic Discoveries of America," by Marie A- Brown. The subject possesses but very little interest for average readers, and not much even for students of history. Whatever tbe Icelandic discoveries in America were they had no practical results. The modern world is not much interested in an historical controversy concerning what happened 800 or 900 years ago, and which has no bearing oo modern affairs. Tne subject, however, is well handled in this book, and it can be read with interest by those who are fond of dealing with historical puzzles of the remote past Boston: Published by the author. "The United States of Yesterday and Tomorrow," by Rev. William Barrows, is an interesting work on the growth, progress, and development of the United States in territory and in material and moral respects. It contains a variety of interesting fasts on the subject, which, if not new, are grouped aod arranged in a new manner. Among the side topics discussed are large landholdings in tbe United States, pioneering in education, lynch-law. the railway system of tbe West etc. The book is well written, aod oublished in good form. Boston: Roberts Brothers. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. "Plea for an Amerikan Language, or Germanic-English," by Elias Molee, is an earnest and elaborate presentation of the claims of Yolapuk. The central idea of the work, expressed on the title page, is "that the present English language is a national misfortune," and it proposes to evolve a nsw language in its stead. . Those who sympathize with so called reforms of this kind and cranky movements to supplant established orders of things may possibly be able to interest themselves in this work. The pure well of English undented is good enough for tbe Journal. Chicago: John Anderson & Co. "Monarchs I Haya Met," by W. Beatty-King-ston, is a series of gossipy and interesting sketches of various European potentates met by the author in the course of a long and remarkable career as a newspaper correspondent There are 'sketches of Emperor William, tbe King of Greece. Napoleon III, Alexander II of Russia, the Shah of Persia. Maximilian, the Sultan, Victor Emmanuel, King Humbert, and others, all accompanied by interesting descriptions of historic scenes and events. Paper covers, 50 cents. New York: Harper & Bros. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. "Memoirs of an Arabian Princess" is a unique and rather interesting volume, being in fact an antobiograpby by Emily Ruete, Princess of Oman and Zanzibar. The lady was of noble Arabian birth and lineage, and was reared in affluent circumstances. In later life she became Christianized. The story of her life is interesting and eventful, and furnishes some curious glimpses of home and personal life in the Orient. It was originally published in the German and is translated into excellent English. New York: D. Appleton & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. Persons who wish to inform themselves rela tive to the geography, progress, climate ana1 natural attractions of Southern California will find tbe subject thoroughly and enthusiastically presented in a book entitled, "California of the South," by Drs. Walter Lindley and J. P. Widney. The routes ot travel and health resorts are also given, and the text ia aided by a number of maps and illustrations. The book is quite a complete guide book to southern California. New York: D. Appleton & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. Harper & Brotherr, New York, publish Vol. V of "Kinglake's Invasion of tbe Crimea, its origin, aod an account of its progress down to the death of Lord Raglan. This remarkable work is too well known to need any introduction or eulogy. Vol. V covers the period from tbe battle of Inkerman to the fr.ll of Canrnbert, being from November, 1854, to June, 1855. Tbe events and incidents of tbe famous siege of Sebaatopol are described with tbe author's usual brilliancy and minuteness. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. G. P. Putnam's Sous, Now York, publish in tbe series of papers of the American Historical Association a treatise on "Clmrch aod Stat in the United States, or the American Idea of Religious Libertv and Its Practical Effects," by Philip Schaff, D.

It covers the whole ground indicated by the title, and is a valuable compendium of information relative to the connection between church and state, not only in thiseountrj but in European countries. Indianapolis: The Bawen-Merrill Company. "What Shall We Do with It!" meaning the Treasury surplus, is a collection in pamphlet form of the President's free-trade message, Mr. Blaine's Paris letter commenting on it Mr. Henry Wattetson's essay in Harper's Magazine, and Senator Edmunds's essay on tbe same subject.

It is very easy to vary the draft of a plow 10 per cent, indeed between extremes or Plows and practices of plowing a variation of 50 per cent is doubtless made. Assuming 150 pounds. the accepted standard, as the average working or draft power of a horse, then a plow running seven inches deep and cutting a 14 inch furrow would reauire about three horses to carry it eomfortablv. - Onlv 10 per cent change m the draft would add 45 pounds draft to the plow, or one-third of a horses power to perform the work. Such an addition to a team becomes a very serious burden when con tinued day after dav, and when applied to the country, adds a great loss 'in a neid where little excuse should exist for ignorance. Any increased force required in plowing, that comes from lll-adiusted plows, is at the ex pense of The quality of work done and always at a greater exertion on the part of the plow man. It may be roughly and safely stated that, if our plows draw 10 per cent harder than they need draw, double the loss is Teally met than the sum computed, although not in horse power alone, but in part, in poor work. It is not uncommon to observe an improper harnessing of horses for the plow, due to two reasons. The first occurs '-when sad dles are used with the harness to sustain the traces. When horses are changed from wagons to the plow the "double-tree" is attached at a lower point to the plow than it had been to tbe wagon. If the saddle is buckled up straight to the line of the trace from collar to axle, which under-tension forms a straight line, tbe dropping of the plow end of the trace when changed from wagon to plow, will make an angle at the point where the backstrap is at tached to the trace. Tbe use of the wheel or truck under the end of the plow-beam" near the bridle is an old practice now mainly out of use. Tbe coulter on tbe plow bas been nearly as pop ular as the truck has been unpopular, btevens. of England, found no great saving from the use of the coulter, while Gould, in the famous Utica trials, claimed a saving of 113 pounds. When it is remembered that a horse's power is but 150 pounds, the showing is very radical. I I have reached the conclusion that the Amer ican ladiea are the best vocalists. Strakosch.

No newspaper in the West Is more widely or more favorably known than the INDIANAPOLIS JoUKNAI. By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the wants of the reading publio, it has taken a leading po sition among the most prominent journals of the country, and is certainly 'among the best. Among the newspa persof the State it is pre-eminently the best, and Indiana readers can. nowhere else find what they want in the way of State and local news. It circulates largely ia every county in Indiana, and has correspondents in every town and village of importance--.'Its market reports are prepared with the greatest care possible, and no pains or expense are spared to make them accurate and absolutely reliable. It is the only newspaper in the State owning and publishing all the news furnished by the two"great press associations (the Western Associated Press and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of tne country. It has been, and will in future be, the aim of the publishers to make the Indianapolis Journal a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. The paper challenges comparison with any of its contamporaries. Theapproaoh of the great campaign of 1888 ren ders it desirable for every citizen to have a first-class newspaper; in fact, it will be impos3ibIa for him to keep fairly abreast of the times without such a pap er Great political battles are to be fought in the State and Nation, and their conduct and progress the JoCBNAI will carefully record. No Indiana reader, cer tainly no Indiana Republican, should be without the J OTTBNAL in the coming campaign. While it is thor oughly and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to the interest of the Republican party, the JouENAii will not allow its news to be colored by partisan bias. but will give the news of the day without fear or favor. The present session of the national Con gress will be among tbe most important held in recent years, and questions of great national moment will be considered. Every citizen is interested in the pending legislation, and ean keep himself thoroughly posted by a perusal of the Joubnais news columns, in which the doings of Congress will be fully reported. In addition to its news features the Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of the day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and author are contributors to its literary columns, making it a paper for the household and home circle.
