THE INDIANAPOLIS JOtJRNAL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1889.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Preparing for the Rush. PmsBunr.. Feb. 12. The belief that the Visitors to Washington on March 4 will exteed the number of those at auy previous Inauguration finds substantial expression in the etlorts miulo by railway companies to provide adequate facilities for their liiovement. The managing officers of the Pennsylvania lines have given the matter careful study From Feb. 26 until March 0 the rails of this system will be hot with wheels. Special trains of coaches and liillman cars will be run from Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Toledo and Cleveland, and extra coaches and Pullman cars will be attached to regular trains running from these cities to Washington. The Pennsylvania lines own over 2,000 passenger coaches, and tho reqnisito number of -locomotives. This equipment will be placed at the accommodation of the thousands of Jnljrriins to the capital. As soon as a. train Is run into Washington and unloaded, it will be run out azain. in order that there taav be no blockade of track to interfere 'With prompt and systematic handling of $hfi traffic. The Pennsylvania special train 5s"o. 20 will have connection from IfarrisIjurgtoWaRhington from Feb. 25 to March tf. This will enable passengers from the i West to become settled in their quarters before dark. Personal, Local and State Notes. i General Agent Hill, of the Bee-line at ln;dianapolis, who is down with the tvphoid I lever at Louisville, is reported to be improving. ; ""The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is Itoutting the English locomotive just reIbeived in order, and will give it a trial 'toext week. i Col. Joseph Hill, general superintendent, fend JohnDarlow, assistant superintendent 'of the andalia, spent yesterday in the city, returning to St. Louis last night. V. T. Malott, vice-president and general vtnanagerof the Union Kail way Company, j'wentto Cincinnati, last night, for a conference with C. C. Waite, general manager of the C, H. &, V, lines. W. II. Campbell, who, for some months ast, has been commercial agent of the C, 1., St. L. &. C. at Chicago, has been appointed agent of tho B. &. O. Kankakee l)ispatch, at Milwaukee. The earnings of the Indianapolis, Decatur Western road for January are favorable, ? bowing an increase of $5,C82 over those of he corresponding period in 18S8. February promises even better results. ; The Attorney-general of Kansas hasbeen requested to call tho attention of tho KanJls fc Texas Kailroad Company to tho fact &hat its charter requires it to nave its general oflices located in that State.

L- A. barber, who for twentv-one vpits as been a passenger conductor on the C, ;. Cc u. road, recently purchased by the ennsvlvania Comnanv.nas been annointed fetation master at luchmond, Ind. I - General Superintendent Woodard. of the fLiOUisville, N'ew Albany &, Chicago roaa, is ftpending two or three days at this terminal, arranging to duiki ine inuupenueni lino in here from the city limits to the Union tracks. The three roads running through Marion, Ind., have under consideration the erection of a union station at that point. All the xoads passing through the town are to improve their shipping facilities during tho coming summer. - ''Railroads, narticularlv those known as itrunk lines, were never in stronger nosiftion," says President Ingalls, of tho Big lour, "than thoy are now, and their .iinT" for mr'-'ug large earnings could Lardly be better." : "lho earnings of tho B. & O. Katikakee Dispatch in the first ten- days of February j equaled those of the entire month of February, 1888, and the earnings of the line for January wero the largest of any month in the history of the line. " Orders have been issued on tho Pennsylvania road that no freight except perisnables shall run on Sunday. The men will Bton work at 10 o'clopk on Saturday night and will not return to their labor until 7 o'clock Sunday evening. . - - The superintendents of Indianapolis roads who met with the Cincinnati association in Cincinnati, yesterday, organized ithe Indianapolis branch by elcctiuq 1. H. j Wilson president and J. Q. Van Winkle J treasurer. The superintendents returned ' from Cincinnati last evening. . All prospects of the Ohio, Indiana & Western and the Cincinnati, Sandusky &. Cleveland roads again forming a traffic alliance having passed, it is stated that on the 1st of next month II. M. Bronson, joint general passenger agent of the two roads, will cast nis lot with the O., I. & W. It is quite probable that the Cincinnati. Indianapolis, St. Louis fc Chicago road will put on a train for Cincinnati, out of here, to connect with tho C, I. & W. train ar riving here from the west at 7:40 a. m., which will give Indianapolitans a train for Cincinnati at a convenient hour in the morning. Agents in charge of the outside local tickci omces, without exception, report larger receipts from the sales of tickets in the last six weeks than in tho corresponding period of 188S. In some cases the increase is remarkable. This is the best of evidence that it pays to maintain rate as since Jan. 1 it i9 claimed that rates have been closer adhered to than at any time within tho last 'five years. Master Mechanic Swanson. of the PennBvlvania shops at Indianapolis, and Potter, ox the company's shops at Fort Wayne, aro members of a committee appointed by the Pennsylvania system to meet at Altoona, Pa., on the 2Ud of this month for conference regarding the style of the shops and tho character of the machinery which shall bo used in the new shops which the Pennsylvania Company are to erect at. that point. The new shops will have a capacity to turn out three complete locomotives a week. The Lake Erie & Western depends largely on its local tram'c to make its earnings, and I is using every effort to increase them by offering the best of facilities to shippers, i It is claimed that there is no road crossing " the" States of Ohio and Indiana, the Lake Shore excepted, which passes through so many healthy, growing manufacturing towns. This is largely due to the fact that the road passes through so much naturalpas territory. So far as passenger business t is concerned, the L., E. &, W. is making no effort to secure through travel. t The Ohio, Indiana &. Western makes t radical changes in tho running time of its trams on both divisions on Monday next. On the Eastern division the train leaving Indianapolis for the East at 9 p. m. and the train from the East which now arrives hero at 7 a. m., will bo taken off. Trains will leave for the East at 8 a. m. and 8 r. m., and ; will arrive here from the East at 1 r. M. and j 10:40 r. M. On the Peoria' division trains ; will leave Indianapolis for the West at 7 a. M.t 1:20 r. M. and ll:ft p. m. Trains will arrive here from the West at 7:40 a. 31., 2:40 r. M. and S:40 i M. As a result of tho stronger traffic alliance between the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St, Louis fc Chicago and the C, C, C. & I. (Bee-line), it is stated that through trains . will bo put on between Cincinnati and St. Lonis over the C, L, St. L. & C. aud tho I. V St. L. on the 10th of next month. While no great results are looked for in the T eginning from this alliance, in tho not distant future, when tho Cleveland. St. Louis & Kansas City road, now building, is completed, it promises to be a very iiiiIHirtant through line, the Chesapeake &, hio, as well, sharing in the good results. , A bill has been introduced in the Legislature of Wisconsin which propoes to put a stop to rate cutting. It provides that rates shall never be raised; that tho lowest rate reached during a cut shall become tho lixed rate for that service until another cut shall be made. At tirst thought this looks asif it might prevent some ot tho ruinous cuts that do ro much harm to the roads, preventing them from paying dividends, crowding the lines with traffic ono month, and causing . cut in wages and a reduction of the number of men employed the next. Katecuttiugisamcnacoto the safety of every employe on the road; cuts his pay, hurts the company, aud stagnates the business of tho country. J. J. Turner, superintendent of the P., C fct. L. division of the Pennsylvania iines. has statistics he has kept tersonally Arhich show tliat more persoua have been .Injured and killed at railroad crossings in vtuw'usand cities and in yards by what aro . called slow trains than bv fast trains. He .'argue , that persons will look out more carefully-for the fast trains, knowing the t danger t crossing. tracks when such a train UC0ifiziilrc2d ofiicialswho hare

given the matter a good deal of attention state that fewer accidents occur to fast trains on tho same mileage run than to slow trains. Greater precaution seems to be taken by tho traveling public, the employes on the road and all in any way connected with the movement of fast trams. The Louisville. New Albany & Chicago company has paid out, to secure right-of-way from Rowland's station to Massachusetis avenue, thus tar, j5,0U0. This includes the purchase of lifteen acres of ground just north of the base-ball park for a round-house, shops and yard-roora. It is expected that $10,(AX) more will secure the entire- right-of-way from Rowland's to Massachusetts avenue. Negotiations are pending looking to the L., N A. & C. running its trains from Massachusetts avenue to a connection with the Union tracks over the joiit tracks of the Bee-line and the L. E. & Vr, which tracks are appraised at $40,000. If such an arrangement cannot be affected, the company, will proceed to condemn a right-of-way and build independently to a connection with the Union tracks. Lucien Wakely, assistant general passenger ag?nt of the Chicago, Burlington & Ouincy road, is the son of a wealthy gentleman. Eight years ago he walked into the C, B. fc Q. ollicea, wearing a plug hat and carrying a silver-headed cane, and asked for a position in the offices. His dadish looks led to the belief that he would never amount to much, but ho was told that there was but one vacancy, and that was in doing the work on tho Hectograph. To the surprise of tho official, ho asked: 'What time shall I be here to-morrow morning?" He was at his post on time the next morning, took off his coat, and worked faithfnlly at the Hectograph three months before he was promoted. After once in the line of promotion his drive-ahead methods of doing business attracted the attention of the higher officials, and he advanced rapidly. His dndish manners have all disappeared, and he is looked upon as one of the leading men in Chicago inpassenger circles. High-School Commencement.

Mr. Franklin, living in West Indianapolis, left his home yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, to go to work at tho Nordyke & Marmon Company, leaving his two little children in a room supplied with natural gas. In some manner the gas escaped into the room, and on returning he found his children asphyxiated. It is thought that one of them may recover; the recovery of the other is considered hopeless.

A PLAUSIBLE REASON A Young Lady of Zionsville Tells Why She Came to the City.

A Clear and Concise Statement of Her Troubles, as Told to a Reporter. From tho pretty little Tillage of Zionsville, which is fifteen miles vrcst of Indianapolis on the Big Four railroad, comes the following interesting story, as told by Miss Anna Green, a resident of that place. "About eight years ago." she said to tho -writer, "I had a very severe attack of the measles and was confined to my bed for several weeks. After my recovery, when I was able to be abont again, I noticed that iiiy head pained almost continually, aud I seemed to have a sense of fullness, above ami back of my eyes. My nose would stop up at times, first on one side then on the other, and sometimes both sides would be closed, when I would have to breathe through iny mouth. The dischage from my nose at first was waterv, but gradually became thicker, and was either Of a black or greenish color. Sometimes I would blow out hard scabby matter, streaked with blood. My eyes watered easily and I could not read very long at a time. "I coughed continnally and raised considerable mucus, of either a yellow or greenish color. THIS CONTINUED for some time, and my friends frequently told me that I was going into consumption. My head would gather and break, tho discharge coming from my ears. This was not only disagreeable, but gave me a great deal of pain. Indeed, the pain was so severe that I would go to a physician two or three times a day to have him give mo something to relieve me of the pain. MISS ANNA GREEN, ZIONSVILLE, IND. "My rest was not good, and even when I retired thoroughly exhausted I could not 6leep. I would get up in tho morning tired and unrefreshed, with a thick, 6ticky slime about my teeth and on my tongue, and a bad taste in my mouth. At night tho mucus would keep dropping down into my throat appearcntly from tho back part of my head, and I would cough and hawk quite a while in tho morning before I could clear my throat. Gradually my throat became quite sore and raw, and at times would be very much inliamed. I suttered a great deal with pains in my stomach of mornings, which prevented me from eating breakfast, but I iiad very little appetite for any meal, for that matter. "It was about this time that I noticed that my hearing was getting bad.; I would nave buzzing ringing and roaring sounds in my ears, which so prevented me from hearing that I could not recognizo a word spoken unless spoken very loud and distinctly, and addressed especially to me, 13 ut what seemed - - ' v-r ESPFCIALLY ODD to mo was that I could hear better on a railroad train, while in motion, or in a noisy factory, than 1 could in a house. These noises in my head would seem to increase when I would lie down. "I grew worse right along, and seemed to get weaker every day. 1 became gloomy ' and despondent, and lost rlesih steadily. Iast summer I consulted my physician at home and was told that ho could do NOTHING MORE forme. I did not feel able to go to Indianapolis for treatment, for the physician' here would charge mo more than I was able to pay. About this time I noticed the statements in the papers regarding cures that had been etiecteu by the Blair treatment, and I determined to investigate tho matter. Accordingly, last October, I called at their ollice at 203 North Illinois street, and had a talk with the consulting physician. Although I was promised nothing in the way of a cure I was pleased with the way the physician talked and especially by their liberal terms and I placed myself in their care, and am happy to say that they have done more for me than I had anticipated. I improved gradually, until all my old troubles have left me. I can now hear an ordinary conversation. I had not heard a sermon for years until last Sunday, when, without eftbrt. I heard every word distinctly. My head feels clear and I am nu oi tnoso disagreeable headaches, i rest well and have a good appetite. I consider myself entirely cured and will cheerfully answer any communications addressed to me regarding the matter." Miss Anna Green, the subject of this sketch, can be found at Zionsvillo, Ind., and this statement verified. Office at 203 North Illinois street. Hours, 0 to 11 a. M., 1 to 4 P. m. and 7 to 8 r. M.

THE INDIAMPOLIS JOURNAL

DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY. TIio Most Complete Newspaper in all Departments in tho x State of Indiana. No newspaper In the West Is more widely or more favorably known than the Ixdlvsapolis Journal. By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the wants of the reading public, during the great campaign of IS S3, it has taken a leading position among the most prominent journals of the country, and Is certainly among the best Among tho newspapers of 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 in 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 tho news furnished by the two great press associations (the Western Associated Ptess and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all tho principal cities of the country. It has been, and will Id future be, the aim of the pub Ushers to make the Indianapolis Journal a perfect and complete newspaper, deficient in no department or particular. The paper challenges comparison with any of its contemporaries. No Indiana reader, certainly no Indiana Re-, publican, should be without tho Journal. While It is thoroughly and Boundly Republican in politics, devoted to tho interest of the Republican party, the Journal will not allow Its news to be colored by partisan bias, but will give the news of the day without fear cr favor. Owing, to tho prominence of -Indiana in the next administration, the Journal will give particular attention to Washington news, jvhich will be given far more completely than ever before. For this reason, il for no other, no Indiana reader can afford to be without it for the next four years. In addition to Its new features, the Journal regales its readers with the productions of some of the best known literary men and women of tho day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its literary columns, making it a paper for the household and home circle. Special arrangements have been made for features of this character, which will appear in the Journal during tho coming year. These appear most largely in the Sunday Journal, which is a special edition, and can be subscribed for and received exclusive of the Daily Journal. THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (THE WEEKLY EDITION.) One Dollar per year, has a circulation extending to every county in Indiana and adjacent territory. It is a complete compendium of the news of the week, accompanied by the latest market reports, and special departments devoted to agricultural, horticultural and household topics.
