AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Exemption from Accident on Indiana lloads. Ia the past ten months there has been an tintiiu&l exemption from accidents on Indiana roads. In fast, there hate been but two at all serious in character, and en several roads hardly a wheel has bft the tracks. On the Indianaoolis, Decatur fc Springfield, it is stated that less than $1,000 will cover all damages to equipments through accidents, and the road has averaged eiffht trains dail'. On the Indianapolis & St. Loci, which in years past has had more than its share of accidents, cone of importance has occurred. On the Vandalia there have been two or three wrecks of freight trains, the result of overloading cars, bnt no aeeldent has occurred to the passenger trains. The Jeflersonville, Madison & Indianapolis, which, without question, dcs more fast running than aoy Indianapolis road, has had no trouble worth speaking of from this source, and the Chicago, St Louis A: Pittsburg has, as well, been Try fortunate, The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Lonis & Chiego. which is usually among the most fortunate, has had two rather expensive wrecks, bat the personal injuries were not of a very serious character. The Lak Erie & Western has had but one accident which could be classed among the serious ones. The Ohio, Indiana & Western has been more than ordinarily free from them. Strange as it may seem, the most disastrous wrecks, and the largest loss of life this year, have been on the roads in New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio, on roads which are classed among the best managed, the Lehigh Valley and the Baltimore & Ohio being of the number. This indicates that the roads of Indiana are in excellent physical condition, and are operated by capable and careful men. It is stated by railroad men of experience, who have traveled considerably over Indiana roads within the last few months, that the road-beds are among the smoothest and most solid in the country. There is hardly an Indiana line which is cot now laid with a heavy steel rail, thickly eross-tled. The bridges are practically new. and in equipments Indiana roads need cot take a back stand to any of the East or West lines. 1'eraonal, Local and State Notes. General Manager Beach w&a in the city yes terday on official business. It is stated that between cow and New Year's two of the five ticket-scalping offices are to be dosed. President Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, is in bad health and will leave for Europe on Saturday, to be absent several weeks. The committee of the Central Traffic Association has decided that all way-bills for grain or other property shall be stamped with or written across the face "actual weight." The fourth annual convention of the Mutual Aid and Benefit Association of passenger and freight railroad conductors began at Cnicago yesterday. The session was devoted to orgaizv tion. First Assistant Chief Ingram, of the Locomotive Brotherhood of Engineers, denies the story that the C, B. & Q. strike is about settled, and that the old men are returning to work on the road. Railroad clubs are being organized all over the country for the purpose of discussing railroad questions. These clubs admit any railroad emplove to membership, and are encouraged by the officials. The committee of the Central Trado Association and of the Western lines have agreed upon uniform through rates on business originating west of the Mississippi river and going to the Eastern seaboard. The roads centering here are to charge demurrage on ears not unloaded within forty-eight

hours after they are placed in position for unloading, giving twenty-four hours longer time than the Chicago roads do. The accident reported on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago read on Tuesday did cot occur on the G, L, St. L. & C. proper, but on the Whitewater Valley road, over which the branch trains of the Big Four run. At t'je meeting of the Chicago and Ohio River Association in Chicago, on Tuesday, the only important business done was making the rate on watermelons shipped north, for 1839, 9 cents per 100 pounds to Indianapolis, and 15 cents to Chicago. To-day the Indianapolis car-works will complete its contract to baild 2,850 coal cars, CO, 000 pounds capacity, for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road, and CoO box ears of the same capacity. These works have built for tho Santa Fa people nearly 8,000 cars. President Hammond and Treasurer Atkins, of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western road, yesterday made an inspection of the line. It is stated that matters are progressing favorably looking to an extension which will greatly increase the value of the property. The Vandalia people have made a new departure, and now move corn as in transit for 1 cent per hundred pounds. The corn brought In here is shelled and then forwarded as being in transit. It is understood that the other Western lines are to adopt the same method of billing. The Vandalia has within the past two years built six switching engines in its own shops, which are giving so much satisfaction that it has decided to build two more, and will, as well, this winter build a couple of freight enjines after specifications of George Prescott, superintendent of motive power. The health of IL M. Britton, general manager of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg road, is so poor that he will start for Europe tbia week to spend a year, taking his family with him. Mr. Britton is well known in Indianapolis and Cincinnati railroad circles, having been master mechanic of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Sl Louis & Chicago road for some years. The executive board of the American Ticket Brokers' Association mado ticket-scalper Frey a briet visit There is a little uneasiness among the scalpers over rumors that the Union Hailway Company are to move against them, and it is believed that this visit had something to do with the matter, the executive board being desirous of fully understanding the situation here. Tho Philadelphia Press says: "There is a strong feeling that the action of the New York Central in reducing rates, from whatever point It i3 viewed, was a great mistake. If Mr. Depew's idea was to drivo the junior lines in he has failed to accomplish his purpose, as all of them except the Beading are taking freight at the reduction less the differential. If the move was made to scare the Pennsylvania, it was certainly a failure." The Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan road, whloh does its business in here over the Beeline, objects to charging shippers consignee's demurrage where a car is not unloaded within a given time, and announce that they will ignore the instructions. The mattsr has led to a littlo friction between the agent of the Bee-line and the agent of trie C, W. & M. here, and the question will probably be left to the general managers of the two roads to settle. After the payment of the coupons advertised for redemption by Receiver McNalta, of the Wabash road, there still remain payable four coupons on the first mortgage and seven on the second mortgage, on which the receiver has paid nothing at alL It has been conclusively shown that the current income of the road is insufficient to meet the interest on the first and second mortgage bonds, to say nothing of earning somethinr for the consolidated or general mortgage bonds. The classification committee of the trunklines of the Central Trafile Association has completed its resort, which will conform to the requirements of the Interstate-commerce Commission. In revising classes most freights have been graded up so that the railroads will make heavier revenues. Commissioner Fink has just callid for a vote on the adoption of the classification, and it is thought that the members of the joint executive committees will unanimously epprofe of it LETTERS FK0M THE PEOPLE. The Stiffar Tariff Puzzle, fo the Editor of tb lndianarclis Journals In the Forum for November is to be found an article on "How the Tariff Affects Industries," by W. C P. Breckinridge, now a member of Congress from the State of Kentucky, in which he says that the Republican party was always In favor of keeping the tariff on sugar until it was found that tho Mills bill and the State of Louisiana were both in favor ot it, too; then, he tavj. the Republican party discovered that the sugar duty was improper and should be repealed. It ' truo the Republican party, as an organization, has always favored a duty on everything th&t we had men to make and material out of which to make it This is the fundamental principle of Republican tariff laws. When the Mil!s bill and Louisiana adTocated the repeal of the tariff on wool, lumber and salt, three of our main Northern prodncts,then, aod cot till then, did the Republican party say, repeal the duty on sugar. It was done then in order to get the Democratic party to define what principle it was contending for. If It was on the principle, as they said, to reduce the cost of the oeceswrlci of life, tho Rcpullicaa party only asked

them if sugar was cot a cecestary of life just the same as wool or salt. Mr. Breckinridge gifes us his plan ia these words. "That the free list should be enlarged hj placing thereon, so far as could be justly done, the necessaries of life as salt, lumber, eta; the crude material needed by manufacturers, as wool, liar, hemp, etc.; partly manufactured materials usable only in further manufacture, as tinplate; and to leave untouched such schedules as were so complicated with other interests as to create antagonisms." Let us see if we can find the basis upon which he is to effect the needed reform. First he says he wants to enlarge the free list 'by puttiog thereon, so far as can be justly done, the necessaries of life, as salt, lumber, etc." Why not sugar alsol We have tho reason: The Southern wing of the Democratic party would not consider that "justly done," so it is left with a duty of CS per cent. His second plan Is to place upon the free list 'crude materials used by manufacturers, and partly manufactured materials, that cannot be used exeept by furtber manufacture, and to leave untouched such schedules as are so complicated with other interests as to create antagonisms." Doea he not know that almost all the sugar used in this country would come under his division of partly manufactured articles that cannot be ued except by further manufacture? His plan, further, is to leave untouched such things a3 might breed antagonisms. If the CS per cent, duty on 6ugar is a tax paid by the consumer, what interests -would be antagonized by it removal! It is plain to be seem It would ruffle the interests between the solid South and the free-trade Democrats of the North. These are the interests to be so zealously guarded by. Mr. Breckinridge and his friends. Why cot guard the interests of the wool-erower, also? The sugar tariff was the conundrum that most Democratic orators failed to explain, and thoae who attempted it found it a stumbling block. The wool-growers of the North have answered it, and it is to be hoped their answer is finaL Dumoxt Kennedy. CR 1WT02DSVILLE, Nov. 19. Appointments to Office, fo the Editor of tbe In Ilanapolia Journtl: Your editorial, republished in this morning's Sentinel, is refreshing reading. Tho party has cot ebcted General Harrison for the Eake of the odces; nor is it to' be cemented by the 'power of public plunder." If he believes in civil-service relorm in the fullest sense of the term, and it is not probable the President-elect will disappoint the great mass of his supporters, while it is ceeessary to make many appointments, a multiplicity of changes, merely for the sake of rewarding party workers, will weaken instead of strengthen the administration. The Democrats were good civil-service reformers until they got into power, but the rank and file were very hungry and thirsty, and they forced the President I think against bis better judgmentto adopt the principle enunciated a half century ago by Wm. L. Marcv. "To the victors belonged the spoils," and the result has not been sufficiently encouraging or successful to warrant the next President in repeating his policy. Nobody in the party deserves any appointment for services rendered unless he is eminently fitted for the place he is to occupy. The men who will flock to Washington by the thousands for office after the 4th of next March, and have to borrow money of their friends to get home, would be better off if they went to work at a dollar a day. Of course I meanj no offense to the 50,000 Hocslers who are going to the inauguration. The boarding-bouses will be glad to see them and will feast them at so much per day. The people are satisfied that General Harrison will give the whole country a successful and popular administration if the politicians give him any kind of a chance. The election has vindicated the selection of the candidate and all that is now necessary is for the office-seekers to ''possess themselves in patience till the time comes to serve their country, and if it does cot

come at all, don t grumble. Follow this advice and we will have many years of Republican rule. d. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 19. Congratulations of an Old Veteran. Genera) DeDjamin Harrison: While I congratulate you most heartily on your eleotion to the highest office in this world, I can say that you are the second Harrison that I have bad the honor of voting for for President of these United States. The first was for William Henry Harrison, my first vote in the city of Indianapolis. 1 then resided where JSouthport is now located. My sincere wish from the heart is that your life may be spared. Yours sincerely, SamuelS. Sebzrn. VxsTOJf. Is., Nov. 19. The Banner Republican County. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal In to-day's Journal I see a statement that Posey county is probably the banner Republican county of the State in the matter of Republican gain over 1834. Pulaski can go her almost a half better. With a total vote of 5,051. Posey county makes a Republican gain of 301. Pulaski county, with a total vote of 2.GGG, makes a Republican gain of 216. What county can beat us? WrNAUAC Nov. 111. A. T. Atchison. AMELIC RIVES WEDDING NIGHT. She Did Not Retire Until Six O'Clock in the Morning Confirmed la Her Night Robe. Louisville Post. A lady who lives but a few miles from Amelia Rives-Chanler, the eccentric and famous novelist, is here on a visit, and tells me of some incidents and freaks connected with her marriage that have never appeared in print. I think. The novelist is nothing if not sensational: eo after the ceremony, instead of roing immediately away on a bridal tour, she changed the whole order of things, packed her whole family tip and started them oil up the country, remaining in supreme po3sessien of her home, where she lingered several days before finally going East The night of the wedding the house remained brilliantly lighted far after the gay streaks of dawn lit up the Eastern horizon, and the pretty bride was seen flitting through the rooms, first in her own and then in the parlor, where she played her harp and sang many songs. The day was fully born before she saw fit to seek rest, and not until a 6 o'clock dinner was announced did she make her appearance. The story published that Mrs. Chandler was confirmed in her night robo my informant tells me, is literally true, only that it was ornamented with dainty and exquisite frills and furbelows, and would have done credit to a ball dress only for the shape of the garment It is also said that when the bishop confirmed tho pretty girl her loveliness so dazsd the good man that he hardly knew how to perform the service. Plain Talk About an Emperor. Tarta Letter in London Truth. I met this evening a Bavarian grafln, fresh from Munich, and bound for Madrid. "What did you thluk," I asked her, "of the young German EmoerorP "Well," she said, "he's hard to read. He's changeable as a bit of shot silk. There are times when he looks a ramrod of stillness, coldness, and hardness. His mode of saluting at such times is curt and unpleasant; the eyes stare, and must I say it? glare. They are, when he is in his stiff, imperial mood, the blue-glassy eyes of tho Highlander at the tobacconist's door. There are other moods, when he is all fun and heartiness. I saw him laugh himself into a violent fit of coughing. He romps with children, pokes in the ribs and tickles prineely lads, flirts with the flirty ladies, and is tickled with the merest straw. Blood easily flies to his head and sets his thoughts in a tangle. He hates bookish people and artists. They bore him. What he best liked after dinner was to get away to his own room and smoke with the young princes of Bavaria and the Duke of Genoa. They laughed and talsed far into the night. The princes smoked pipes and drank beer. The Emperor smoked cigarettes and quaffed seltzer water. My impression of him is that he is at once crafty and impulsive. He means well, and will sin and repent a good deal before he has got much older." The I.acbino Rapids to Re Utilized. Montreal Star. A syndicate, consisting'of the Edison Electriclight Compear, Messrs. McLennan and Conway, engineers, and several Montreal capitalists, hare purchased from the Mathews estate, for $20,000, the Isle au Heron, which is situated right in the eenterof the Lachiue Rapids. It is stated that the syndicate purposes utilizing the magnificent water-power, which can bo obtained by deepening the natural ehannel by which the island is intersected and by directing a large body of water through it by means of breakwaters and dams. The company proposes tendering for the lighting of the city of Monti eal by electricity, as well as furnishing private houses, manufactories and other establishments with the light- Mr. Conway was asked how they intended conveying the motire power from the island to the shore, and replied, by means of cables, but ao far they had not yet decided ia regard to that They intend to begin work on erection of dams and beakwaters immediately, and it is estimated that if this is completed they will obtain at least 200,000 horse power. Engineers are cow engaged surveying the island. Disappointing in One Respect Washington T6t. Husband "Robert Elsmere" is getting talked about more than any book I know of. Wife (disappointedly) Yea, and it isn't a bit naughty, either. I've read it through from Frelact to Finis.

Indianapolis: The BowenMerrill Company. Col. Thomas W. Knox, one of the best and mo3t successful writers of travel for the yonne, Is out with a new book entitled "The Boy Travelers in Australia." It does not matter much that the author was never in Australia, he uses the information of those who have been there, and uses it with excellent effect We have all read of Africa, of Europe and of tho Arctic regions, but there are few, even of an older growth, who appreciate ; the magnitude of the development of Australia and New Zealand. The book does not step, however, with these two great islands of the South seas, but describes as well the Sandwich, Marquesas,, Societv, Samoan and Fiji, islands. The text is bright and interesting, with just enough of the personal element in it to relieve the tedium of description and statistics and not enough to bury the real information in a heap of commonplace. The book is profusely illustrated. In fact, the familiarity of some of the pictures suggests that they are too profuse. Some of them have done duty in other places. The book is handsomely bound. Nework: Harper & Brothers. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company. A very complete work of its kind is the "Fireside Encyclopedia of Poery,n collected and arranged by Henry T. Coates.

The doctor' chestnut trees were near bis house. He had observed a lad of twelve or fourteen alyly stealing-tinder the trees with a basket to pick up the nuts: He set a trap for the youngster by arranging a matriculated skeleton where he could suddenly show it from bis window. Tfco lad bad thtl his basket one

morning, when the doctor pounded on the window to attract his attention. The youngster turned and discovered the wriggling skeleton. With every hair standing on end he madea ruah for the fence and out into the atreet. leaving his nuts behind. The doctor opened his front door as the lad was passing on the other side of the street, and called to him. "Come here," he said. "No, sir," said ; the boy. "But I want to see you," said the doctor. "No, sirree," said the boy; and then, evidently plucking up courage, he continued: "And say, mister, you can keep those chestnuts and the basket. I dsn't want em. I've seen you with your clothes off." Origin cf Nottingham Lace. Carpets, Wall-l'aper and Lace. A frame-work knitter of Nottingham, England, named Hammond, according to Gravenor Hensen, about the year 17CS was the first who made lace by machinery. Though dissipated and without money, employment or credit, the idea struck him, while looking at the broad lace on his wife s can, that be could fabricate a similar article by means of his stocking frame. He tried and succeeded. The firtt machine ostensibly Tor lace, introduced Into Nottingham about the same period, was called a pin machine, for making press point net in imitation of Brussels grand. In 1772 the warp frame was introduced for making warp lace, and in 1709 the first attempt at making bobbin net by machinery was made, but without success. However, in 1809, Mr. Heathcote, of Tiverton, succeeded in discovering the correct principle of the bobbin-net frame, and obtained a patent for fourteen years for bis invention. Steam power was first introduced in this manufacture by John Lindley in 1815-16, but did not eome into active operation until 1S20. or general in its use until 1822-23. Mr. Soolovln "In the Soup."

An Eminent Physician Reads a Paper ; of Great Interest Before the International Medical Congress. At the Ninth International Medical Congress, Dr. A. L. A. Toboldt, of the University of Pennsylvania, read a paper stating that ont of thirty cases treated with Carlsbad Water and the Powder Carlsbad Sprudel Salt for chronic constipation, hypochondria, disease of the liver and kidneys, jaundice, adiposis, diabetes, dropsy from valvular heart disease, dyapf psia, crtiarrlial inflammation of the stomach, ulcer of the stomach or spleen, children with marasmus, gout, rheumatism of the joints, gravel, etc, twenty-eix were entirely cured, three much improved, and one not treated lorg enough. Average time of treatment, four weeks. The Doctor claims, in conclusion of his paper, that the Carlsbad Mineral Water, as exported by the city of Carlsbad, beintr the natural product, is much to be preferred, where the quantity of water is no objection, particularly in diseases of the stomaeh. Whenever the quantity 6f water eannot be taken the Powder Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (genuino imported) will answer equally as well. He states that the effect of the Water and Powder Sprudel Salt is to be relied upon, independently of any adjuncts of treatment, such as diet and exercise, etc. "My experience with the genuine imported Carlsbad Salt in powder form has been such that I may trulr eay that no remedy which I hare employed, has given me as much pleasure and profit ns this particular one." The dose of Salt is a teaapoonful thren times a day dissolved in water.
