THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1889.

AFFAIRS OF TOE RAILWAYS. " Personal, Local and Stat Notes. General Manager Beach, of the Beo-linc. Is expected in the city to-day. The baby bora in a Pullman car, last Xveek. has been named Fulman Conant. Cno of the Pullmans gave the mother $50 as ft starter for the young man. The Norfolk tfc Western road has under contemplation the building of a branch to Ironton, O., rrhere it will Ntrike a northern outlet the Dayton, Ft. Wayne & Chicago road. . " In the early sprin? the Pennsylvania Company is to shorten the running time of one of its express trains each way, between Cincinnati and Chicago, and between Louisville and Chicago. 1 President Hammond and the general officers of the Indianapolis, Decatur & -Western road are out on an inspection of the line, and of the new stone quarries about to be opened on the road, i The Ohio, Indiana &. Western has cut down the running time of two of its trains between Indianapolis and Peoria one hour and ten minutes, which, with time stops taken out, makes it very fast. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois road shows an increase in earnings in the first 'week of February over those of the corresponding week in 1888 of $tfM. and the Cairo & Vincenncs an increase of $392. - The Pennsylvania Corapauy is figuring to pet the through mail between Cincinnati find Chicago now carried over the C, I., St. L. fc C. road. They propose to put on regular white mail cars if given the contract. Should M. E. Ingalls be elected president of the C, C, C. &. I. at the annual meeting of the stockholders in March, as is intimated, ho will then be president of companies controlling 2,204 miles of main line. By securing control of the Louisville Southern road, the L., N. A. & C. people Tut the question of doing away with the JL, I. A. & C. shops at New Albany at rest. In fact it will necessitate their enlargement. The freight traffic over the C, I., St. L. & C. continues very heavv, the loaded-car movement exceeding 1,000 cars a day. Superintendent Bender states that the company could use ten more engines to good adVantage. It is claimed that the Chesapeake & Ohio has now in effect the shortest time schedule between Louisville, Ky., and New York, and when the C. & O. proper becomes solid tmd fully ready for business the time will be shortened further. C. C. Baldwin, one of the directors of the Uvansville & Terre Haute road, who resides in New York, said, on Tuesday, that the negotiations for the purchase by the Mackey syndicate of the Louisville &. Evansville road were still pending. . i While there seem to be some difficulties n the way of organizing the Interstate Jailway Association, it does not appear that any of the roads which have come into the agreement are desirous of reviving the Tvar if two or three roads do hold aloof. The Richmond Terminal Company seems to be gathering ia all the roads in the South, Hvith Jay Gould as the leading spirit. Since . B.Thomas left the general managership, feighteen months ago, the mileage of the system has increased from 2,800 miles to 6,265 miles. Rooms are being fitted up in the second Btory of tho Union Station for V. T. Malott vice-president and general manager of the Union Railway Company; D. F. Whitcomb, superintendent; F. Doran, chief engineer, and W. G. Cannon, purchasing agent of the Companj The Pennsylvania Company contemplates doubling its track between Anoka Junction find Logausport, There is but little doubt that the comnanv will sometime hniUl from

Indianapolis to Anoka Junction, and this rwill throw the business of three roads over mat piece of track. Owing to tho disagreement between the English capitalists who have recently acquired an interest in the International aoal; of Mexico, all the general officers of Tne roaa residing in the City of Mexico resigneu. ic is Denevea tnat a jreat row is brewing. Railroad men admit, on close insnectioTi hat the new Iowa tariff is not such a senns matter for the roads after all. Whether ney will prove ruinous or not, they will lotoeanv worse tnan tbe railroad xvnra: .vhich some of the comn.inies slinw hnt lit tle disposition to stop or prevent. The Pennsylvania Railroad Comnanv has ?lie the Bell Gap road, twentv-tive miles in ength, and the other the Clearfield & JefItTson road, thirty-five miles in length. Both roads lead to extensive and valuable coal tields. The trunk-line executive committee held anotner meeting in New York, vesterdav. ,to consider Commissioner link's revision M A 1 . a. rrs t a ii iub agreement, ino rmnK-une presidents will be called together probably un xuesuay or next week to ratify the agreement. The interstate commission is to meet the Jtailroad Commissioners of Minneasota, in Chicago, on the 19th, to commence the investigation of the charges madeairainst ihn railways doing business between Chicago and St. Pari, relating to the posting of tariffs and he manner in which they are printed. , The work of filling Mill creek bottoms, near Cincinnati, for yards for the Queen &, Crescent road commences this morning. It 5s estimated that it will require 12,000 carloads of dirt to make the till. The dirt will be taken froti t, gravel bank a short distance out of Cincinnati on the C, I., St. L. !fc C. road. ' General Manager Carson, of the Louisville. N ew Albany & Chicago, is to be in the city to-day. when it will be decided -whether the L., N. A. &, C. will build an independent line from Massachusetts avenue to a connection with the Union , tracks or run over tracks of existing lines between the points .named. w The United State Rolling-stock Company is building a lot of liat cars, of 00,000 pounds capacity, for the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis road. Under the car are seven heavy iron trusses running from one end of tho car to the other. The American continuous draw-bar is used in their construction. Last year's gross earnings of tho important roads showed an increase every month but two, while the loss in net earnings was the largest for years. Thus far this year it has cost much less to operate roads than early in 1SS8. Consequently better net earnings are looked for. Gross figures are of little value as indicating the actual condition of a company. It is stated that the Pennsylvania Company will test, on the main line, steel rail weighing 100 pounds to the yard, the heaviest rail now in use east of Pittsburg being eightv-five pounds to tho yard. On one of the Belgian roads a rail weighing 103 pounds to the yard is in use. It is believed that the heavier rail will increase on the present safety, and, as well, increase the life of service where traffic is as heavy as over the Pennsylvania proper. Commissions on immigrants bonnd to Pacific coast points have eone up again at Castle Garden, and there bids fair to bo a renewal of the old war in commissions, Huch as prevailed before the presidents signed the agreement not to cut rates. The movement is against the Southern Pacitio road, which is outside the garden, but. through its agents at home and abroad, is doing the lion's share of the business in fact, more than all other transcontinental lines. It is not surprising that the virtual entrance into Chicago, over the C, I., St. L. &, C. road, of the Chesapeake & Ohio, compel j the Louisville & Nashville to seek an n franco in there over the C. fc E. I. The ne.rt move doubtless will bo for tho Queen 3c Crescent people to enter into a close tariff alliance with the C, II. fc D. and the L-, N. A. C. roads for an entrance into Chicago. Every move on the railroad board, ot late, lias been favorable to Indianapolis. The improvements which the Lake Shore people have been making in' the last two years in cutting down grades and straightening curves, more especially on the western division, is greatly enhancing tho value of the property. So great has been the reductioh in grades that where a train was limited to twenty-eight cars on the western division, the same engine will how haul and make time with . forty cars. In two cases it has done away with pushing engines to help trains over grades. A. R. Boluss, of Norwood, O., has Invented an air-brake, automatic in its character, which is working very successfully. The brake differs from the Westinghouse patent in that tho engineer can apply the brake to any one separate car in a whole train. By this means the jarring of the cars coming together as the brake is applied to the forward cars of tho train is obviated, as the engineer can begin to apply the brake frbin th Ust car in tho train. The heavy jarrinff

of a freight car often displaces and injures its cargo. The conductor or passengers on a passenger train can operate the brake from tho car they are on. It has a pressuro of eigty pounds of air to the square inch. Amusements. In the double bill which Miss Mary Anderson is to present at English's next Tuesday evening, she has the best possible opportunities to display her versatility as an actress. Her Galatea is conceded to be one of her best parts, and "Comedy and Tragedy" was especially written for her by W. 8. Gilbert, tho librettist of tho Gilbert and Sullivan operas. It is a strikingly bright and original sketch, and in it Miss Anderson shows that she is a comedienne of fine powers. Both plays will be given an elaborate stage presentation, with special scenery and costumes. The sale of seats continues at the box-office. The gallery is being cleaned, and the seats put in order for those who desire to go there. The Anderson company come here in a special train, from Chicago, on Sunday. The cowboy convention, at the Eden Musee, which is headed by Broncho John, is certainly an interesting feature at that place. Among these men of the plains is Apache Frank, who was a scout under Generals Crook, Miles and others, and has several scars as the result of his bravery in frontier service. Broncho Jour, in his lecture, plainly shows the cowboys just as they arc The buffalo broncho they exhibit is a rare and peculiar animal. Altogether, the boys are well worth seeing. They remain this week only. "Me and Old IIoss," in other words, Evans and Iloey, will play at English's tomorrow and Saturday evenings and matinee in tho most amusing of lloyt's pieces, A Parlor Match," which here, as else-, where, has a perennial popularity. This season the company includes twenty people, and all the songs, dances and specialties aro entirely new. The advance sale, which began 3'esterday, is already very large. To-night, at English's, Mr. John Wild, a comedian who has established himself as a decided favorite in New York, and who recently has been starring with success, will appear in his own farce-comedy, 'Kunning Wild," which is said to be a very amusing Eiece, replete with pretty music. Mr. Wild as a company of capabfe people. 'Peck's Bad Boy." which is full of fun and pretty music, is filling tho Park at every performance, and will continue throughout the week, afternoon and evening. ' m Y. M. C. A.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL

DAILY, SUNDAY Al WEEKLY. The Most Gomplete Newspaper in all Departments in tho State of Indiana. No newspaper In tho West Is more trtdely or more favorably known than the Indianapolis Journal. By the display of enterprise and strict attention to the wants of the reading public, during the great campaign of 1888, it has taken a leading position among tho most prominentjournals 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 aro 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 the news furnished by the two great press associations (the Western Associated Press and the United Press), in addition to which it furnishes an abundance of special service from all the principal cities of the country. It has been, and will in future be, the aim of the publishers 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 Republican, should be without the Journal. While it ia thoroughly and soundly Republican in politics, devoted to the interest of the Republican party, the Joubnal will not allow Its news to be colored by partisan bias, but -will give the news of the day -without fear or favor. Owing to the prominence of Indiana in the next administration, the Journal will give particular attention to Washington news, which will be given far more completely than ever before. For this reason, if 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 the day. Many of the most celebrated magazine writers and authors are contributors to its litcr- ' ary 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 the coming year. These appear most largely In the Sunday Journal, which is a special edition, and can be subscribed for and received exclusive of tho 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 tho latest market reports, and special departments devoted to agricultural, horticultural and household topics.
