AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Old-Time Railroad Report. The annual report of J. Nottingham, who was then superintendent of the Bee line, snows that n Jan. 1, 1853, the eoinpany owned 16 locomoives, 10 first-class passenger ears, 3 second-class, i baeeafe and mail cars, 105 freieht cars, 45 tock ears, 40 platform cars and 100 gravel cars, fhe company now baa 228 locomotives, 167 paslenger cars and 7,223 freiebt cars, of all descriptions. In the year 1853, 101,772 passengers were handled on the Bee-line system; in the fear 1887, 2,129,053 passengers. The freight tsroinps for the year 18G3 were $120,258.84; tu 1887, $3,170,563.64. Passenger earnings in 1853. $140,875.20; in 18S7, $1,187,B24 95. The report of Mr. Nottingham is written with ink in a common note-hook. Be seems sot to hare been satisfied with the freight earnings, and saya: "Our freight earnings should have boen $500 per month more than they were, and wo old have been had the C, C. & C. Railroad Company returned our freight cars as they ebonld bave done, as I was running a daily freight train over the road each way, and the expense wonld not have been increased over 5 percent, I shall charge them for the cars to wake op the deficiency in freight earnings." Ue closed his report by saying: "I am happy to state that our foreign arrangements for passengers and freight are vry satisfactory to me, and I hope they will be to you. We are seiliog tickets in New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Buffalo. Dunkirk, Erie, Cleveland, Crestline, Colnmbos. Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville, ' Lafayette, Michigan City and Chicago, besides all the local stations on the I. & B. railroad and on oar own road. From my report, commencing with Augns, giving the number of passengers carried. and ending with Dee. 31st, 1853, you will discover a very satisfactory increase.- I would most respectfully urge the sneedy laying of the four miles of track from Galion to Crestline; also, of running our passenger cars into Cleveland, which would give ns a very large increase of passenger trade. This done, and I am willing to promise the earnings of the road to be $400,00 for the next twelve mouths, commencing with Jan. 1, 1854. Talk with President Adams. Chicauo, April 2. President Adams, of the Union Pacific road, was in the city last evening on his way to Boston. To a reporter, who asked if Vice-president Kimball bad been promoted permanently to the position of general manager, Mr. Adams said: "Only temporarily. The directors will fill the place, probably at their next meeting. I cannot anticipate what tney may do, whether Mr. Kimball or some one else will be chosen. There certainly is no lack of men who want the position." Mr. Adams said the Union Pacifia transcontinental business had been much affected by Canadian Pacifia competition. Whether the interstate-commerce commissioners could or would do anything regarding it be did not know. Suit AgInt the Boston and Maine. Concord, N. H., April 2. Counsel for the Boston, Concord & Montreal railroad to-day filed a bill in equity against the Boston & Maine railroad. The bill asserts tbat the Boston, Concord & Montreal road was leased to the Boston & Lowell; that the latter, illegally sublet it to the Boston & Maine for an unexpired term of ninety years, and that the Boston & Maine is permitting complainant's property to deteriorate aod go to waste to plaintiffs' damage. Complainants therefore ask for a receiver for the Boston. Concord & Montreal. The bearing was set for the 11th inst. Chicago & Alton Election. Chicago, April 2. The stockholders of the Chicago & Alton and auxiliary lines held their annual meeting to-day for the election of officers and directors. John Crerar, Lorenzo Blackston and John J. Mitchell were elected directors to serve three years, and Albert O. Sprague for two, to fill an unexpired term of George Straub, deceased. At a subsequent meeting officers wsre elected as follows: President, T. B. Blackstone; vice-president, J. McMuUin; secretary and treasurer, Charles H. Foster; general Manager, Charles IL - Chappell; general solicitor, Corydon Beckwitb; auditor, Chauncey Kelsey. Personal, Local and State Motes. Commissioner Fink says ha is satisfied that the trunk lines are maintaining rates. The btoek of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road is still a noted, although there is no snch road now in existence. The railroad commissioners of Michigan, have officially approved of the Janney and Dowling couplers for use on roads in that State. IL W. Hibbard, general freight agent of the Vandalia, was in the citv yesterday. He goes South for a few days on a business trip. B. W. Taylor yesterday assumed the duties of engineer of maintenance of way on the J., M. & I. road, vice Q. W. Kittredge resigned. In the first quarter of 1888 there were received and forwarded at Indianapolis 194,769 loaded ears, against 211,471 in 1887, and 192,403 in 18SG. The Wyandotte Mining Company was organized yesterday, and proposes to work Sand ereeK mines on the line of the Indiana Midland road. John Newell, president of the Lake Shore road, who has been in Mexico for two months recruiting his health, nas returned ready for business. J. G AlcMullin, vice-president of the Chicago & Alton, who has been on a health-seeking expedition for several weeks, has returned much improved. In the month of March there were Bandied at the city freight depot of the Pennsylvania Company 24.375,550 pounds of freight, representing 2. 631 ears. C S. Covert has been appointed assistant auditor of the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Company, the appointment taking effect yesterday. The Indianapolis, Decatur & Western shops yesterday turned out for the Indiana Midland road an engine rebuilt almost entire. The company have now seven good engines. The Indianapolis Railway Clerks' Association meets to-morrow evening to arrange for an entertainment in the hall of the Young Men's Christian Association building on April IL The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has some branches which, it is stated, show a net profit the first two months of each year's operations sufficient to pay their fixed charges for the year. S. D. Reeve, superintendent of the Kansas City division of the Chicago & Alton, has resigned, and it is understood tbat he is to ha succeeded by D, Brock, well known in Western railroad circles. General Passenger Agent Carpenter, of the Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul road, yesterday, by telegraph notified District Passenger .Agent Mordaugh that their passenger trains were again running with their usual regularity."' Poor crops in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois are benefiting the railroads in one way. Farmers tre cutting cross-ties, and the roads are enabled to gt them nearer home than for some years and at a saving of two to three cents a piece. Freight traffio wet-bound will bo heavy this week over Indianapolis lines, as a large per cent of the business for the Northwest, which ordinarily goes via Chicago, will take the routes which are less likely to have trouble from strikes. If the security holders of the Missouri, Kansas Sb Texas read carry out their programme at the annual election, next month, it is understood that E. Ellery Anderson, recently chairman of the Pacifie railroad commission, will be elected president of the company. General John J. Newton, Charles Couderr, Julius W. Adams, Gastav Amsioer, Louis De 8ebian, Robert Chsborough. W- B. Dinstnore, Edward Darke. D. O. Mills. Ernest L. Oppeaheim. Samuel Kes'er Probaseo and R. V. Thompson, were yesterday elected directors of tie Panama Railroad Company. Assistant General Manager Hill, of the Vandalia, has suggested that the line of the road on the T. H. & L. division be changed in the vicinity of Cutler. Aline a short distance east of that station has been surveyed, aod by using it the company will avoid the heavy expense of keeping up a bridge over wild "Cat ereek. do away v.Uh a sharp grade, and at the same time have a shorter route. The old depot of the J , M. and I. railroad at Vincennes street, JeffTsonville, has been abandoned, and will be gold and removed as soon as ft purchaser can be found. The old building when new served as a depot at Seymour, was removal from there to the approach to the bridge over the falls, where it was known as "Prison Station," and was removed, thenco to Its present location. The monthly report of J. Broadbelt, seeretary of Superintendent Whttcomb. shows that during the conth of March, 3.287. passenger trains arrived and departed at the Union Depot, eomprisiug 23.028 coaches. Trains were much more prompt in arriving than in February, there being but sixty-eight late trains, and most of them but a few minutes only. The reorganized Louisville. Evansville & St 'jaLs .Railroad Company, tlu maatii coia-

rnences paying interest on its bonds under the reorganization plan. The rate this year is 2 pr cent , which continues through 1SS3 and 1839, afterward increasing 1 per cent, per annum until it is 6 per cent., whwh rate is reached in 1893. The Huntington, Tell City & Cannelton branch also commence paying fixed charges this month. The Financial Chronicle gives the gross earnings for the third week of March of sixty-five roads, including six Indians roads. Th earnings aggregated $3,487,245, a decrease, as compared with the earnings of the corresponding period of 1887. of $147,007. or 4 per cent. The falling off is due largely to the" severe weather in the first half of the month and to the fact that the companies made unusually large earnings in 1887. the result of rushing business forward in anticipation of h'zher rates under the interstate law. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago is figuring on a time schedule which j will forward from Indianapolis passenger trains at 6:30 A. M., reaching Chicago about noou. Trains of the Indiana Midland, the Toledo, St Louis & Kansas City, both ways, will connect with this new train. Coming south the train will leave Chicago at 11:30 p. M., reaching Indianapolis at 7:30 A. M. A train out of Indianapolis for the northern part of the State and Chicago in the morning will be appreciated by the business men of this city. The report of George W. Cobb, secretary of the Indianapolis Railroad Men's Christian Association, shows that d urine the quarter ending on March 31 forty-eight religions services were held, which were attended by 2,227 person. He called upon eighty-three rick and injured railroad employes, and at the homes of thirty-three others. He attended eight funerals, made 183 visits to shops, switch-houses, etc, distributed 1,574 books and magazines, visited railroad organizations at Richmond, Crawfordsville, Elkhart and Kalamazoo. At the room are on file twenty-one daily and weekly papers. Could better rooms be provided for the association much more good might be accomplished. It is unfortunate that the Pennsylvania lines are so crippled financially that they can no longer help to support this excellent association.

THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS. The Senate Passes the Memphis Bridge Bill, wltli Amendments. Washington, April 2. The House having sent over an orginal hill to give a pension of $2,000 to the widow of Gen. John A. Logan (instead of passing the Senate bill in precisely the same termsf, the House bill was, on motion of Mr. Davis, passed, Mr. Berry saying that he would not call for a vote by yeas and nays, but wished it to go on the record that he was opposed to it. The House bill to authorize the constru ction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at Memphis, Tenn., was, on motion of Mr. Harris, taken up and considered. Mr. Berry moved to amend the first section by making it obligatory, instead of optional, to have the bridge constructed for the passage of wagons, vehicles and passer gers, as well as of railway trains. Mr. Plumb opposed the amendment, lest it might operate, by the additional expense, to prevent the building of any bridge at all. Mr. Edmunds favored the amendment. He was opposed to further obstructing of the great wster-ways of the country which were about the only free things (commercially considered) that were left to the people as against the corporations. . Memphis was a great city, having a great trade on both sides of the river, and when, at a slight additional expense, the business of the people of that vicinity could be provided for, it should be made compulsory on the bridge company to do so. Mr. Bate spoke in favor of the amendment, believing that it wonld contribute to the growth of the city of Memphis and to the advantage of the population on both sides of the river. Mr. Frye reminded Mr. Harris tbat the two Louisiana Senators, who were opposed to the bill, were absent from the city. Mr. Harris said he was aware of that fact; that certain constituents of theirs now bad the control of the bridge charter granted in 1885. He had informed the senior Senator Mr. Gibson that he would delay asking consideration of the bill for a reasonably short time, but the anxiety of the people whom he Mr. Harris represented, and of the people who proposed to build the bridge, to avail themselves of a suitable season of the ytar was sch that he could not delay for the unreasonable time tbat would be eovered by the absence of those two Senators looking after their canvass in Louisiana. Mr. Berry's amendment was agreed to. The several amendments reported to the House bill by the Senate committee on commerce were agreed to. The principal amendment was the tnird section. It was to strike out the sentence requiring the two middle, or channel spans, to be not less than 600 feet in length, in the clear, and tbat no span shall be less than 450 feet in the clear; and to substitute for it a provision directing the Secretary of War to detail three army engineer officers to examine the locality and to report what should be the length of spans; provided, that the main channel span shall not be less than 700 test in length and the other spans not less than 600 feet; also, that the lowest part of the superstructure of the bridge shall be at least 75 instead of 65 feet above extreme high water mark. Another amendment was to add a new section repealing the Memphis bridge act of Feb. 26, 1885. Mr. Coke offered an amendment requiring the main channel span to be at least 1,000 feet instead of 700 feet in length. Mr. Harris opposed the amendment. He said that the additional cost of the bridge tbat would be caused by Mr. Berry's amendment would be at least $100,000, white Mr. Coke's amendment would involve a cost so great aa to defeat the construction of a bridge altogether. He argued tbat all interests, navigation and other, were completely protected by the provision requiring the Secretary of War to detail three engineer officers to inspect tho locality and to report to him. Mr. Coke argued in support of his amendment, citing the opinion of the Mississippi River Commission that no bridge should be permitted at Memphis with a less span than 1,000 feet. The Mississippi river and its tributaries, with the great lakes, were the only protection against the great railroad companies, owning tbe whole of the country, so far as transportation was concerned. The amendment was rejected yeays 3, nays 43 the yeas being Senators Call, George and Ransom. Mr. Call was paired and did not vote. The bill having been reported to the Senate, all the amendments adopted in committee of the whole were agreed to in bulk, except that offered by Mr. Berry, requiring passage-way to be provided for wagons, vehicles and foot passengers. On that Mr. Sawyer demanded a separate vote. The amendment was agreed to, yeas 30, nays IL The hill was then passed and the following conference committee ordered: Senators Sawyer. Vest and Harris. The Senate then resumed, as the unfinished business, the House bill for the purchase of United States bonds by the Secretary of tbe Treasury, the questton being on the motion of Mr. Palmer to recommit ths bill. Mr. Stewart moved to recommit with instructions to the committer to report witbout delay a separate bill, allowing toe owners of gold or silver bullion to deposit the same and receive coin certificates therefor. Mr. Sherman opposed the motion, saying that it was very unusual to instruct a committee to report a proposition then submitted for the first time.' There was no objection to the passage ' of the bond-purchase bill, and he thought . tbat as a question of practical legislation that bill should be parsed at once. If it was the desire of the Senate to have all the difficult problems of finance which had been discussed for tbe last twenty-six years taken ud nd considered, that was one thine. If so let it be so. But tbat was no reason why there should be any delay in the passage of a bill on a total 1;.' different subject. He was therefore opposed to the instructions asked, and be was also opposed to the recommittal of the bill. Mr. McPherson said the proposition of Mr. Stewart meant the free coinage of silver, and nothing else. Mr. Butler said that the exigency which confronted the Treasury! Department was such that he preferred to vote for th House bill pure and simple. He would therefore vote against all amendments to the bill. Mr. Reagan suggested as an amendment that $100,000,000 of tte gold coin"now in the Treasury shall be used for the redemption of the interest-bearing bonds of the country. He declared that the policy of the government both io the executive and legislative departments, bad been, since 1809. in tbe interest of the money lords of this country and of Europe. He knew that tbe present administration had taken ud aod maintained the policy of its Republican predecessors. But he proposed, so far as his own action was concerned, without reference to what others in the Democrat ie party, even in high places, should do, to stand by the interests of tbe people, to insist on their rights, aod to insist tbat tbe government sh all be conducted in the interest of tbe people, instead of in the interest of special classes which lived by robbing both the government and the people. Mr. Blair inquired what members of the Democratic party Mr. Reagan referred to as not representing the interests of .he people, but Mr. Reagan preferred to let tbe Senator from New liampbshire form his own judgment Alter imt furth.tr diacuisioo, Mr, Stewart

withdrew his amendment Without action tbe Senate went into executive session and soon adjourned. The TertflT Rill Reported In the House. Washington, April 2. Mr. Mills, of Texas, chairman of the committee on ways and means, reported the Mills tariff hill, and it was referred to the committee oT the whole. Mr. McKiniey, of Ohio, submitted the minority report, which was ordered printed. Mr. MeMillin, of Tennessee, on behalf of the committee en ways and means, announced that committee would seek to have the Hduse consider the tariff bill in two weeks from to-morrow. The committee had determined upon this for the purpose of enabling the appropriations committee to get its work forward and into the Senate as far as might be; and he trusted that at tbat time the business wouid have been so far disposed of that tbe tariff bill could have the uninterrupted right of way. Bills were introduced and referred as follows: To permit the city of Louisville to use certain grounds belonging to tbe United States as a publie park; for tbe erection of public buildings at Xenia and Mtddletown, O. ; a resolution calling upon the Postmaster-general for information as to whether instructions have been given in regard to rates of postage on eeeds, plants, bulbs and printed circulars received from Canada, and whether existing laws and treaties give any advantage to Canadian citizens over citizens of the United States engaged in similar business; by Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, a resolution directing tbe committeeon military affairs, in addition to the inquiry it is now prosecuting in regard to tbe publication of the official Records of the War of the Rebellion, to inquire and report in reference to the feasibility and advisability of completing the publication of these records under the supervision and controKof a joint committee of Congress. Mr. Crain, of Texas, moved to suspend the rules and put upon its passage his joint resolution propoaine a constitutional amendment changing the time for the annual meeting of Congress. Lost Yeas, 80; nays. 154. Mr. Randall, from the committee on rules, reported a resolution designating certain days and evening sessions for the consideration of measures to be called up by certain committees; in some cases particularizing the bills to be considered. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, moved to strike out of the clause which gives to-morrow and Wednesday to committee on judiciary, the provision that the first bill disposed of shall be the Senate "Direct Tax Bid.", Lost Yeas, 70; nays, 161. Mr. Randall moved to consider and moved to lav that motion upon tho table. Mr. Oates demanded the yeas and nays and the motion to table was carried Yeas, 169; nays, 38. " The opponents of the direct-tax bill then resorted to dilatory tactics until finally Mr. Randali moved to suspend tbe rules and adopt the resolution. This was agreed to yeas, 155; r. ays, 44. The resolution makes the following assignments: April 3 and 4, judiciary commit-tee-the Senate direct-tax bill to be first disposed of; April 5 and 7, committee on commerce; April 10, Pacific railroad committee; April 11, committee on Territories; April 12, committee on public lands; May 10, committee on agriculture; May 15 and June 19. committee on public buildings, April 3 and 5 (night), committee on military affairs; April 9 (night), debate on bill to amend the Thurraan act; April 10 and 12 (sight), committee on Territories; April 11 (night), foreign affairs committee. All these assignments are made subject to revenue and appropriation bills. The House then adjourned. A Bad State for Reform, rittsbnrg Dispatch. It is rather Surprising to find tbe Indianapolis Sentinel attacking Judge Woods for giving money to a local campaign fund, which it admits is not a violation of the law. It then proceeds to speak of "disheartened parents withcut number in Indiana, whose boys have been sent to the penitentiary for violation of laws- no greater than this." The latter violations being such pleasant little amusements as stuffing ballot-boxes and falsifying returns, thi& estimate of the Democratic organ seems toshow that President Cleveland knew what h was talking about when he said: "Indiana is a pretty bad State for reform." They Grow That Way. Eoston Globe. The New York World has discovered that the sure test of a great lawyer is a long under lip. But, bless you, esteemed contemporary, tbat grows that way by much exercise. You will notice that the ears of old judges are big from the same cause.
