ArTAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Blaine as a Ilallrral Man. Buffalo, Jan. 22. At tho animal meetIns of the West Virginia Central fc Pittsourg Railway Company t onlay, Hon. James G. Blaine presided. The annual re- . port ttus read, showing the net earnings to be $111,000, as against $00,300 last year. A dividend of 1 per cent, was declared, payable on tho 4tb of March. Emmons Blaine presented his brother, "Walker, whose broken lg prevented his attendance. Tho Id hoard of directors and oHicers were reelected, except Wm. II. Itanium, who resigned, was replaced by Maj. A. K. Shaw, ilr. James G. II In i no's voting the proxies of Secretary Itayanl caused some amusement at the meetinir. Mr. Blaine also voted tho Troxy of W. If. Darnum. Mr. Jilaino told the Associated Press representative when akel. 'Will you be our next secretary of JState?" that That question could be better answered at Indianapolis." The St. Louis & Chicago Litigation. Chicago, Jan. 22. Upon application of C. VT. Fairbanks, counsel for the receiver of the St Louis fc Chicago railway, Judge Gresham ordered A. J. Moorchead, lato auditor of tho company, to forthwith return all vouchers and papers of account to the safe of the receiver, from which the Baino were removed by Moorchead in tho absence of the receiver, last Sunday. This virtually settles the proceeding against Moorchead for contempt of court. Tho court has alo ordered tho St. Louis & Chicago Railroad Company and I). L. Wing, president, to immediately deliver to Receiver Cavett, of tho St. Louis &. Chicago railway, all locomotives, freight and passenger cars which Wing claims to Lave bought under execution, solus, prior to tho appointment of the receiver and removed from tho liue of tho St. Louis fc Chicago Tailway. The return of tho equipment is fcaade subject to the rights of all parties. Personal, Local and State Notes. G.o. W. Andrews, formerly with tho I., Jk A: W. road, now traveling passenger 8gntof the Manitoba road, is spending a day or two in thecity. T. C. Clarko has been elected president of tho Cleveland. St. Louis &, Kansas City Toad. He was formerly president of tho Union Bridge Company, of New York. 1 The Baltimore fc Ohio road has. thus far "this year carried 16.0 per cent, of tho eastbound tonnage out of Chicago, against 8.6 per cent, in the corresponding period of 1SS3. 'Tho Pennsylvania people have begun the construction of their Pittsburg cut-oflf: a lew miles south of that place, over which throngh traffic will bo carried, thus avoiding all delay. While it is true that the railroads are getting better rates than a few weeks ago, on both passenger and freight business, there are indications that the fixed ta rills are not etrictly adhered to. JAbramS. Cassady, through whoso efforts 9 refereo tho West Shcro road was sold in 3885 to the Vanderbilts, was on Monday discharged by the court. During the deal lie has handled 50,000,000 as referee. Amos Warner and John Keefe. both of tehom have been in the service of tho Beeline twenty-live yeais ago or more, have accepted positions of responsibility on the Cincinnati, Van Wert &. Mackinaw road. - G. W. Vaughn has been appointed chief engineer of the eastern division of the Kickel Plate, succeeding A. W. Johnston, promoted to the supenntndeney of the clivision. Tho appointment takes effect Feb. 1. In the year 18SS, at tho shops of tho Beeline in Cleveland, eighty locomotives were repaired; a number of them were rebuilt entirely. At the shops in Brightwood seventy-two were repaired, and six of tho number were entirely rebuilt. Immigration to points on the Northern Pacific road is said to bo heavier now than at any time since the road was opened for business. Quite a number of persons have lately gono from this and adjoining counties to select places for settlement. William Thaw, ono of the largest stocK- . holders of the Pennsylvania road, on Monday purchased 400 acres of coal land near

Uniontown, on the Pennsylvania system, Jiaying $60,000 for it. Before making this ast purchase he owned 1,500 acres in that Tricinity. The Chicago Railway Exchange, which is in the nature of a clearing-house, messener boys carrying the mails between the illerent offices, in the yearlSSS distributed 3,889, 4?3 pieces. Tho association was established in 1S84, and in tho first year handled but 493,15 pieces. The Ohio, Indiana & Western, which last year did not publish its earnings, has resumed doing so. The official statement Fhows the earnings of tho first week in January to have been $27,414, a decrease as compared with those of tho corresponding . 'week in 1SS3 of $4G3. E. B. Thomas, vice-president of the Erie lines, states that tho Erie people will, witbm a short time, get possession of the Chicago & Atlantic road, unless the second i mortgage bondholders appeal the case, w hich went against them at Chicago last week, to the United States Supreme Court. V" President Charles Francis Adams of the Union Pacific, who is chairman of the comiWittee to obtain signatures to the recent agreement to maintain rates, report that ; twenty-one railroad presidents have signed it. lie has called a meeting of the presidents to be held in Chicago on Thursday theSUhinst. The Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City road earned in December last $70,958, an increase over the earning of the corresponding month in 1SS7 of M,080. There aro but two or three roads in tho country which show r so largo an improvement in earnings in De- ' cember. This company has only 200 miles of standard-gauge road. The election of M. J. Becker, chief enfineer of tho Pennsylvania lines west of ittsburg, to the presidency of the American Association of Civil Engineers, was very complimentary to the gentleman, as the association numbers 1,200: and includes Rome of the most ablo men in tho country in this branch of service To adjust the affairs of the Cincinnati, Washington Sc. Baltimoro and bring about a reorganization will require a good deal of concession on tho part of all parties interested, and much 'compromising. Aside from the heavy mortgago debts, 1,000,000 will have to bo provided immediately to put the equipment m reasonably good order. A feature in the railroad situation worthy of note is the fact that the roads which have been least affected by rate disturbances are the roads whoso stocks aro renati. Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago are of this number. Mr. Gould is quoted as saying that he is tired of railroading in the Southwest, and his motive for becoming a party to the recent agreement to maintain rates was not because- he felt compelled to yield to the pressure Ol tho security-holders, an exerted through the banking interest, but because, as a secnrity-holder himself, ho was anxious to improve the market. The demurrage charge on cars handled at Chicago, which aro placed on side-tracks for cnloading and are not unloaded within fortr-eight hours, has come to stay. All the roads are taking a firm stand in tho matter, and a majority of the reputable business men are said to be with the roads in the matter. At Indianapolis the Beeline and the Pennsylvania Companv is charging for the use of cars after they have Mood on a side-track a certain time, and they find that their business is moving much more expeditiously. All objection to auch action would die out and far superior service be obtained if all tho roads would take similar action. There are a number of Western roads which, it is stated, will not sign the bankers and presidents' agreement, of this number are the Illinois Central, Xhv Chicago iV, Alton, the Chicago, Burlington & Northern, the Wisconsin Central, the Ohio, Indiana &, Western, and the Indianapolis, Decatur Western. President Hammond, of the latter road, takes the position that his road would suffer seriously in its passenger business, especially if the Ohio, Indiana it Western and the Chicago Sc. Alton aro out of the fold and applying the lance to rates, as they have been doing for some years past. One thing is evident, and that is, if these roads remain in opposition they will control the situation in the territory they cover. A corps of civil engineers have begun tho ftiirvey of a new railroad from Indianapolis to Chicago. The chief of the party states that be does not know what syndicate is behind tho movement. He was simply cniloi'edto survey the shortest ana most

ceivjng the most attention and steadily improving. The Evansville & Terro Haute, the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the Cincin

feasible line between the points named. The. engineering corps began its work on Tuesdav, starting at a point near the junction of the L., N. A. & C. road with tho Lako Erie & Western. A mystery surrounds the whole movement, which is quite difficult to solve. At first it was supposed to be engineers put into the held by the Pennsylvania Company to survey a lino from Indianapolis to Logansport, to connect the J., M. t I. and C, St. L. &. P.,, the Pnnsrlrnnii I'nmn.'inV HOW US1UZ SIXtV

miles of the Lake Erie & Western, but in- ' . . - . i. iV . quiry proved that sucn was not me case. The Logansport Pharo says that the Pennsylvania Company has definitely decided to build a new line of road between Logansport and Royal Center, m order to avoid the heavy grade leading out of that city on the Chicago division. The btatcline track from Logansport to Curveton will be used, from whence the new line will lead northwesterly to Royal Center. The new track will consist of about ten miles. By this chango it will be possible to run heavy freights without the aid of a second engine, which is now necessary in going up the "Chicago hill." It is estimated that the improvement will pay for itself in a few years. The present track will not be disturbed, but will bo used for trains coming this way from Chicago. The right of wav for the new route is 'said to have been already secured, and work will probably begin in the spring. JERSEY CATTLE-BREEDERS. An Industry That Assures Good Butter and 3Ieat Some Prices Paid for Cow3. The Indiana Jersey Cattle-breeders Association held its seventh annual meeting in Agricultural Hall, at the Capitol, yesterday afternoon, the proceedings beginning with an address by D. II. Jenkins, tho president, on "The Present Status of Jersey Cattle-breeding." Ho introduced his subject with a review of tho histoiy of the breed in this country, after which he continued: "That 'Jersey-breeders are all dairymen, and all dairymen are not Jersey-breeders will fitly express the business we represent. But it would not have fitted quite as aptly a few years ago, when so many people were breeding Jerseys for mere speculation, and not for tho service they could get out of the cattle. Now, Jersey breeders and dairymen are everywhere very closely allied in the common interests they represent; for, in the best dairies, do we not always find that Jerseys are largely employed! 1 do not refer to dairies where tho most butter is made, but where that of finest quality is produced. One of the most necessary things to do in making this breed the universal butter cow, and so benefit the people as well as ourselves, is to have daily quotations, not merely of 'creamery,' for that may mean anything, but of Jersey butter' Mr. Jenkins then reviewed the effects on the reputation of creamery bv oleomargarine men boldly assuming that name so often for their adulterations. Ho spoke of the merits of the Jersey as the coming beef breed. As beef was an article of such important consumption in this country, tho necessity of having it of tho best quality could not be overestimated, and the Jersey had been pronounced of excellent quality. Touching upon the butter yield of Jersey cattle, he said that ninety-two registered cows had made an authentic avert go of over fourteen pounds of butter per week, during the last year, while twelve had averaged twenty pounds, and one had, in a single week, given 33 1-2 pounds of butter. This record he challenged all other breeds to equal, or even approach. He gave the specialists present instructions how to feed for butter. Mr. Jenkins concluded by showing the high figures asked for Jersey cattle with spotless pedigrees. The nighest price paid at public auction for a Jersey cow last year," said he, "was 705 for a heifer at tho great Tennessee State sale. In this sale lour more calves sold for an aggregate of Sl,7t, making an average to their owner of 447.50 apiece. At the Kellogg-May sales, neld in New York city, the price for sixteen heifers, in one lot, averaged 140. An average of $282 was paid by Messrs. Cromwell ontwentv-ono head of milch-cows. Five animals, bred by J.S.Cooper, averaged a price of $427 each. At the same sale, two cows sold for $000 each, a lot of twenty-six for $200 to $300, two for 300. and another lot of eleven for from &J0O to $400 each." Following the president's address, Dr. D. W. Voyles, of Craudall, gave instructions on the manufacture of fine butter, and the conditions necessary to success, based upon his practical experience. Mrs. Kato M. Busick, of Wabash, next read a paper on "Our Jersey." It was tilled with descriptions of winter scenery, and winter Hocks and herds, of exceptional realistic jpower. Prof. F. 0. Short, of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, concluded the literarv nrogramme with a paper on "Testing Milk and Cream," in tne course of which he exhibited apparatus for "roasting" milk to determine the percentage of fat it contained, from which processes, and their results, he had derived important data on butter-making. There was a long discussion upon the subject between the Professor and Mrs. Busick. This lady has had thirty years' experience in the business, in which she has become wealthy. Her herd of Jersey cattle alone, said to be the finest in the State, is valued at over $00,000. Tho election of ollicera then took place, resulting as follows: President, Daniel M. Jenkins, Greenwood; vice-president. D. W. Voyles, Craudall; secretary, W. C. Smock, city; treasurer, H. H. Crecraft, Southport. Tho convention then adjourned. Real Estate Transfers.

THE LYONS INTERVIEW What It Contained and Beferrcd To.

Merely a Chapter in a Series, Which, Apparently, lias Xo End But It Is a Notable Chapter Withal. Mr. James Lyons, who is well and favorably known in Indianapolis, and whoso portrait appears iu connection with this sketch, in a recent interview with tho writer, said: "I have resided in Indianapolis for about nine years, now. It was about seven years ago that I first noticed a trouble in my head. My nose would stop up, first on one side, then on the other, sometimes both at once, thus making it dillicnlt for ino to breathe through my nose at all. "My breath came and went as though I was drawing it through a sponge, lly ears had ringing sounds in them, my throat would get dry and my voice husky. In fact, I woul(f always have to clean my throat MR. JAMES LYONS. Before speaking. My appetite wa9 bad. I could eat scarcely anything at all. I did not sleep well at night, and, in tho morning, I was miserable. My head ached such a dull,, wretched headache. "My limbs felt so tired; my mouth had an awful taste in it; my tongue was coated, and there was a 6ticky, gummy substance about my teeth. And my breath it was awful. After eating, I would feel a heavy, uncomfortable feeling at the pit of my stomach and a sensation as of swelling of the abdomen. I would spit up quantities of phlegm, or mucus, ".vhich seemed to drop into my throat. This mucus was of a nasty, yellow color, and had an unpleasant odor. I also blew great quantities of this mucus out of my nose. I would have to hawk, and epit, and blow out the whole day long, almost without ces3ation. "My memory failed mo, I forgot things easilj', I could not hear as well as formerly, and my sense of smell was impaired. 1 must say I was considerably alarmed at my condition, and tried physicians and patent remedies for my trouble, but I did not succeed in gaining any relief. "About three or four months ago, I read of tho Blair treatment, and determined to try it. I did so, and am much elated at tho result. I called at the office, 203 North Illinois street. The Doctor told me that my trouble was catarrh and that it would take some time to cure me, but that ho thought ho could cure me. "There is little more to bo said; all my symptoms have vanished, and I feel altogather like another person." Mr. James Lyons, tho subject of this, sketch, is a young man probably about thirty years of age. lie has been employed for nine years at Kingan's pork-honse, and is at present living in the Braden Block, on "West Washington street, where he may b? found ;;nd this statement verilied.
