AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS, Footlnc linsinesa th Only llemexly. A railroad man of Urge experience and obierratiot expresses the opinion that tht only .salvation for the roads of thli country U to Sain return to pooling their business. Hates are demoralized in eriry direction and promise to become as low as prior to the days of the pools, and for this there seems to be no remedy. Th interstate law does not forbid cutting rates to suicidal figures, bnt some of the roads seem to be doles so. "In the days of the poo," said be, "if one road became nzlj and disposed to cut rates, the other roads woald qaiet it by tnrn1ns over larger per cent, of the business in the direction where the rate was to be cut There was a pool arbitration, which made it possible to maintain rates, bat now it is go as yon please. If a road w anu to eat a rate, all it has to do Is to issue a tariff naming the rates. Before the days of pools business was done in the same manner, and the ponntry was fall of bank rapt roads, but with the establishment of pools, rates w?re advanced to a paying basis and then maintained. The interstate law, however, broke ud pools and gave the reads which are disposed to do basinets regardless of revenue an opportunity to return to the old style of rate cutting, and it is notieable that it is the same roads which are demoralizing rates now that were foremost in the same business prior to the establishment of pools. Personal, Local and State Notes. B. F. Alexander has been appointed aeent of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis road at Kilmore. The Michigan Central road, which Is building a cumber of new passenger coaches, is patting aoking rooms Into the first-class coaches as well as the second-class cars. The general baggage agents will bold their anneal meeting in New York this week. I. S. Burr, who will represent the Indianapolis diTision, left for the East last nightFrank CofSn, of the ear recorders office of the Ohio. Indiana & Western road, left yesterday for Dallas, Texas, where he takes the position ef car recorder of a division of the Texas PaciHe road. There is talk of calling a conference in New York city, early in August, of the general freight agents of the leading roads, when a great effort to harmonize all the differences will be made. The Cincinnati. Pan do sky & Cleveland peoplo expect to realize $350,000 oat of their judgment seatnst the Indiana, Bloomiogton & Western road. This inelude3 interest on the judgment up to July L Last week the Pennsylrania company ran a train of lire stock from Chicago to Jersey City at an average speed of twenty-two miles per hour. The run from Chics go to Philadelphia was made in thirty-seven hours. In the month of August the Indianapolis Ss Vineenncs company expect to brine to this market, from points on their road, 600 ear-loads cf watermelons. One man at Worthington has a watermelon patch which he thinks will yield 150 car-loads. H. R. Dering, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania; John Chesborongb, assistant general passenger agent of the Vandalia. and George Farmington, secretary of President MeKeen, of the Van dalia, left for Creason last night, to be absent about a week. Shipments of livestock, mostly cattle, to the Eastern markets, on Saturday last, exceeded that of any any since the yards were opened, reaching 110 car-loads. The roads hare, how ever, got more for hauling twenty car-loads of stock East than they did for this immense ship znent. So strict Is General Manager Beckley, of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan road on the Sunday question, that he would allow nothing

to do aone on that cay toward clearing the wreck of last Saturday night. ' The trains are all movine regularly, running around the wreck ver other lints. A few months from now the narrow guago ystem will have no representatives of importance in the country. In ninety days more the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City will be all standard guage, and In lixmonths'from now the larger portion ef the Denver & Rio Grande road will also be altered. Seren new engines, built at Dunkirk, N. Y., have recently been delivered to the Lake Shore road, and the company has contracted with the locomotive works at Patterson, N. J., for ten more, all of which are to be placed on the Westera dlfision. Of those received at Elkhart two are large passinger engines and five are freight engines. The Transcontinental Association, which has been in session for five weeks ia Chicaeo, com pleted its work on Saturday night. Notwithstanding its numerous .wrangles over rate matters the association is said to be in better shape than eter before, which means that Indianipolis manufacturers are not to be favored by a reduction in rates. It is expeeted that the competitive business of the roads in this association during the year 1SS8 will amount to no less than $20,000,000, which is $5,000,000 more than the roads earned last year. Receivers of Southern fruits in this section, and in the East as well, are complaining of the -exorbitant freight rates. In watermelons it takes six out of every ten to pay the freichft to many places. The old rail rates from points in Georgia and South Carolina were $83 per car to New York; now they are $120, and the same rate in proportion rules between such points and Indianapolis and Chicaeo. The business of shipping watermelons has increased enormously in the last two years, and the receivers are anxious to encourage this business by payine good prices to the farmsrs who raise them. Receivers in New York and Boston hare found it Impracticable to ship fruit by water, as the rentilation in the holds of the steamers is so bad the fruits rots bally; consequently the railroads are masters of the situation. An ex-railroad manager said last night: "If the railroada were to pay their passenger conductors larger aalaries, there would be less dishonesty among them, or, at least, spotters would cot be able to confirm eharges of crookedness, so much would a conductor value bis job. A first-clais traveling salesman gets from $2,000 to $5,000 per aanum, while the average pay of passenger conductors ij $100 per month, but the work and responsibilities of a conductor are much greater than that of a traveling salesman. If 1 should again take charge of a railroad, I would set other roads an example by paying my passenger conductors $200 a month, and thoroughly impress on their minds that, if the money taken on trains was not properly turned in, their places would be made vacant. Such a salary would be an object to them, and enable them to dress and lire well. I take little stock, however, in this talk of dishonesty among conductors, and doubt if there isQt more honoat set of men ia business. I think they should be better raid, and an attempt made to secure the best class of men, and thus remove all suspicion that they lire beyond their means." SXiscellaneous Items. Rumor has it that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fa is to extend its lines into Nebraska, constructing a trunk line from Kansas City to Omaha. The Iowa raliway commission holds that the new rate went into effect on July 1L No roads quote the new rates and it is said that numerous suits will be brought against the companies. It Is reported that one of the trunk lines has made a contract with a Chicago house to carrr dressed beef to the seaboard for a year at 13 cents per 100 pounds. Railroad men refuse to believe this, and ssy it is a story set afloat for speculative purposes. The new rates in Nebraska go Into effect July 20. The railroad managements are making no objections to tziem, thinking that the results will soon convince the fair-minded men of the 8tate that it would be better for the roads to do business at fair paying rates. A new route between the West and New Enrland will soon be opened. Last week the New York & New England noad made a fiftr-year trade agreement with the Pouehkeepsie Bridge Company, which rites it facilities for a direct connection with the Erie road. It is announced that the Doluth. South Shoro & Atlantio road has been sold to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. Na details of the transaction have been made known, but it is a aid that C S. Briee and his friends made large money through thesieaL The Central railroad, ol New Jersey, yesterday put on a new steamer to ply between New York and Sandy Hook, in connection with its trains. TV steamer' is 2C0 feet lone, thirty, three feet In the beetn. can solely carry 2,200 persons, and can mske twenty-two miles per hour. It has been decided to construct the Mexican Paeifie road from Mazatian to some point on the Colorado river in southwestern Arizona, Engineers are to be put at work at once, and the grsding will be be?un in a short time. This will S one of the most important lines la Mexico, making a continuous road 1,400 miles la length. The Lumbermen or the State. The annual convention of the Indiana Lumber Association bogtas to-day at the New Dsnlioa House, and will last a couple of days. The aseo- ( ciitisa nunbairi 175 or 00 members, && pre?

a hundred are expected at the present meeting. Quite a number had arrived last night The president is C. C Foster, of this city, and the secretary, W. B. Allen, also lives here. UNION PKISON'ERS OF WAR.

Arrangements for the Sixteenth Annual Meetins in This City Next Saptemher. The following circular has been issued: IIepuabties National Association ) V ion Ex-Prisoners or War. WAsarxaTOx, D. C, July 9, 188S. ) The sixteenth annual meeting of the National Association Union Ex-Prisoners of War will be held in the city of Indiauapoiis, Ind., oo Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 18 and 19. 18S3. As matters of deep interest to all Union ex prisoners of war will come before the convention, it is hoped that all Union Ex-prisoners' Associations will at onee elect delegates and alternates and provide for their presence at the convention, and thus insure this being the most interesting meeting of the national association

yet held. Local associations having made a report of their conditions, and who are not in arrears for does, are entitled to representation in the national association in the ratio of one delegate for every twenty-five members in good standing, and one additional delegate for a final fraction of more than one-half of that number; provided, bowerer, that each local association, whatever Its numbers, is entitled to at least one delegate. Ail local assceiation presidents for the time being are entitled to sit as delegates, but no proxy or substitute ean act for them. Delegates must be furnished with credentials signed by the local association presidents and secretaries, and a cony forwarded to the secretary of the national association immediately after such delegate's election. Secretaries of local associations should immediately forward a list of all of their members, and of their delegates, and cause to be remitted to the secretary-treasurer of the national association the per capitation tax for 16SS, at the rate of 25 cents for each member of their association in good standing. As this convention occurs the week following the national encampment of the O. A. R. at Columbus, O., arrangements have been made that will enable delegates to the convention of the National Associationof Union ex-Prisoners of War, attending the national encampment, to have their tickets extended ten days, allowing ample time to attend the convention at Indianapolis, and reach their homes on these low-rate tickets. Headquarters of the National Association Union ex-Prironers will be opened in the Statebouse, at Columbus, O., daring the National Encampment, O. A. It., where delegates and other Luion ex-prisoners of war can obtain in (formation retarding the association. All Union ex-prisoners, whether delegates or not, are most cordially requested to attend the national convention, and help make It the largest and best ex-prisoners reunion since the war. Those arriving at Indianapolis during the wtek of the eonvention should report at room 27. in the court-house, where they can obtain information in regard to the meeting. Until that time, for all matters relating to the national association, address Maj. L. P. Williams, secretary and treasurer, box 227, Washington, D. a W. IL Powelu President National Association Union ex-Pris-ooers of War. County papers friendly to this association of Union soldiers are requested to copy. J MATTERS IN THE COURTS. The Preliminary Trials Growing Out of Sunday's Shooting Affrays. William Dunn, who was shot by Robert Hartpease Sanday morning, is still alive, bnt his recovery is hardly thought possible. Yesterday morning the preliminary examination of Hartpinse was indefinitely postponed, and he was committed to jail without baiL He has retained John S. Duncan to defend him, and upon the instruction of bis attorney refuses to say anything about the affair. George W. Farraod, who shot and killed William Maples, near Shan

non s lake, was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday morning on the charge of murder, bat the preliminary hearing had to be postponed on account of the absence of several important witnesses. The trial will probably occur to-day. Farrand seems to regret bis act very much, but he feels confident that he will have sufficient evidence to warrant his acquittal on the ground of self-defense. Coroner Wagner is taking evidence in both cases. t--------MlSSSBS--t----------H---Criminal Court Cases. In the Criminal Court yesterday, John S. Ray, Indieted for burglary, withdrew his former plea, and pleaded guilty. Sentence was reserved by Judge Irvin. Ray has been known to the police as a bad character for a long time. A year or two aeo he made four police officers hold up their hands and keep quiet until he cot out of sight. Recently he entered the residence of William McGaffis&n. at No. G4 Yeiser street, and attempted to chloroform Mrs. McQaffigao, but her screams aroused the neighbors, and the arrest of Ray followed. Will Shipm&s, charged with car-breaking, and Elmer Thome, indicted for stealing flG from Mrs. Mason, wero both found guilty by the court, and will be sentencod to-day. A Work of Necessity. Robert C. Light, a farmer living near Broad Ripple, has brought suit against William Dawson and William Magie for $5,000, on aecount of false arrest Three weeks ago last Sunday Mr. Lieht cut wheat in a field near a church, of which Dawson and Magie are members. The following day Dawson and Maeie bad him arrested for desecrating the Sabbath. Ha was arraigned before 'Squire Jacob C. Wright, of Washington township, and upon proving that his wheat was too ripe, and would have been greatly damaged had he not harvested it on Sunday, he was acquitted. He also alleges in his complaint that Dawson and Magie attempted to have the grand jury indict him, and used other means to damage his character. Had Another Wife. Esther E. Robinson has began suit in the Superior Court to have her marriage with James Sikes, at Paris. I1L, in 18GG, annulled on the ground that bis first wife was liviug at the time she was married to him. She says that he renre sen tod to her that he was an unmarried man, and that she learned nothing to the contrary until a long time afterward. As soon as his duplicity became known to her she came to Indianapolis, where she has since resided. Friendless and Insane. Samuel Yonart was declared insane yesterday by a commission composed of Drs. Wcodburn and Hodges, and Justices Smock and Felblcman. Youart is a mechanic, and so far as known has no relatives in Indianapolis. He waa found on the street on Sanday mentally deranged and was taken in charge by the police. His insanity is of a mild character, and the physicians think a few weeks' treatment at the hospital will restore his mind. WUgus's Alleged Crime. Charles E. Wilgus, arusted charged with criminally assaulting his daughter, a girl of fourteen years, will hate a preliminary bearing before the Mayor this morning. His bond was fixed at $3,000, and. as no bondsmen could be found, he was committed to jaiL Ho claims that he is innocent of the charge.

An Executor Qualifies. Merrill Moores has qualified as exeeutor of the will of the late Elizabeth E. Merrill, with a bond for 92,LM. The confidence of people who have tried Hood s Sarsaparilla, in this preparation, is remarkable. It has cured many who have failed to derive any good whatever from other articles. For diseases caused by impure blood or low state of the system it is unsurpassed. "soUiFdoctors honestly admit that they can't cure Rheumatism and Neuralgia. Others say they can butdon't. Ath-lo-rho-ros says nothing but cures. That's tho secret of its success. Years of trial hare proved it to bo a quick, safe, sure cure. Concord. N. H.. Rrt S. -W?
