AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Slight Falllnfr Off in Freight Traffic Tho train records show there was a slight decrease in tho movement of loaded cars last week, as compared with tho week ending March 9. This falling off is wholly in east-bound business, tho export movement and the shipments of grain to New England points being lighter. In shipments of lumber and live stock there was something of an increase last week overcitherof the preceding weeks of the la.it two months. Tho west-bound tonnage was tho heaviest of any week in several months, and for some time to come promises to be very heavy. The better maintenance of west-bound rates will unquestionably bo of benefit to the midland lines, not. only increasing their revenue, but increasing the tonnage, as better time is made from the east to the southwestern and a majority of the western points via Indianapolis and St. Louis, than over the more northern routes. The shipments consist largely of merchandise carried on rirstclass rates, which ia generally bulky. Furniture i9 one of the imDortant items of business moving westward. Prices at western points and on tho Pacific 'coast, as "Well, have been advanced to tigures which overcome in some measure tho exorbitant rates charged by the transcontinental lines. North-and-south roads are doing well, the freights moving being very miscellaneous in their character, although ice and grain form tho bulk of the shipments southward. Local business is heavier than at the corresponding period last year, the development of manufacturing interests all over this State, especially in natural gas territory, helping business wonderfulb'. The machinery for these establishments comes from all parts of tho country, and their products, in turn, are equally well scattered over a large territory. More hard and soft wood lumber is being cut in this and adjoining States than for several years, and the stave and heading manufactories are unusually full of orders. These all combine to bring about a heavy local traffic. Shipments of grain, both local and through, will largely increase when the roads become solid, so that it can be brought to the railway stations. It will be noticed that the loaded car movement shows a considerable increase over that of the corresponding week in 1888, but it should bo borno in mind that Indianapolis roads, a year ago, were feeling the strike on the C, li. t road more or less, and in the East there were snow blockades, which held back west-bound traffic. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point in the week ending March 1(, as compared with the corresponding weeks of WS6 and 1887:

President Brice, of the Lake Erie "Western road, on Saturday made public his annual statement, which is a favorable one, while the business of tho present year promises to largely excel that of 1SS8. His etatement shows the following results in comparison with those of 1887: T89S. 1887. Gross expenses $2,167,789 $2,087,330 Operating expends 1,357,848 1,230,503 Net earnings $809,940 $806,827 Fixed charges 397,878 Surplus $412,061 Net earnings "to the extent of $423,795 were spent in improvements. Freight tonnage increased 10 per cent, and passenger traffic 18 per cent. The general manager recommends that the surplus earnings of 1889 be expended on the road. Tho balance fiheet shows the gross floating debt to bo $344,918, and against it are $392,963 cash and $S3,587 accounts receivable. The surplus is given at $1S3,C4C. Traffic Notes. Belt road engines last week handled 733 car-loads of live stock, against 725 carloads in the corresponding week of 18S8, an increase this year of 7 cars. There were transferred over the Belt road last week a total of 11,120 cars, against 10,747 in the corresponding week of lb?, au increase this year of 373 cars. Last week 400 car-loads of ice were shipped south over the Jellersonville, Madison &. Indianapolis road, while the shipments over the L., N. A. &. C. southward are also said to be large. Tho heavy east-bound movement of freight over the C, I., St. L. & C. has dropped off sharply on tho eastern division. Of a total of 2,428 loaded cars handled last week, but 1,338 were moving eastward. On tho western division of a total of 1,913 handled, 1,089 were moving eastward. In the month of February there were bandied on the C, I., St. L. &. C. main line a total of 82,180 cars, of which number 22,fcOOwcro loaded. The damage to freight equipment, aside from ordinary wear and tear, is officially shown to have been less than $800. This is a record of which the oflicers of the road feel proud. With most of tho roads tho west-bound tonnage is now in excess of that of the at-bound. The Bee-lino last week forwarded from this point 1,001 loaded cars, and brought in from the East but 912. Tho Chicapo, St. Louis & Pittsburg forwarded 709 loaded cars and brought in 713, the west-bound movement being two cars in excess of the east-bound. Personal. Local and State Notes. Tho trunk lines have agreed positively among themselves to stop tho payment of commissions to secure business, commencing with April 1. The Pennsylvania now has, daily, each way between New York and Philadelphia, thirteen passenger trains, teo of which art) scheduled on fast time. M. E. In galls, president of the C, I., St. L. & c., and several otur roads, left for New York on Saturday night, lie expects to be East but two or three days. The general freight agents of tho Western roads meet, to-day, in Chicago, to reduce interstate lumber rates to conform to those made by some of the Northwestern lines. Now it is intimated that tho sr.me parties who are carrying out the Bee-lino and tho C, I., St. L. & C. deal are li curing to secure control of the Queen fc Crescent road. The road-beds of Indiana roads are said to be in the best condition this spring in many years. The frost is mostly out of the ground, and the track is rapidh adjusting itself. There were but 2,074 car-loads of grain delivered at Chicago, last week. Indianapolis Western lines brought in fully as many cars, counting tho local and through shipments. D. J. Mackey is quoted as saying that, before twelve months rolled round, he would have a road into Indianapolis. Ho does not hint by what route ho proposes to Teach here. C. S. Blackman. formerly with the Union Pacific, to-day takes tho position of traveling passenirer agent of the Cincinnati, Wabash Michigan, with headquarters at Indianapolis. George Steyens. purchasing agent of tho Ohio & Mississippi road for several year Fat, has resigned, to take effect April 1. le goes to Chicago to accept a position with Fairbanks fc Co. George E. Maine, superintendent of the New York, Mahoning &. Western road, has resigned, and Koes to Mexico to assist in building a railroad. He will represent tho large contractors, llichard Klegg Jc Co. The Baltimore & Ohio, in connection with the Ohio &. Mississippi, has adopted the $20.50 tiaswenger rate between St. Louis and New lork, mid trouble is expected, tho other lines threatening to meet the B. &, O. rate. It is stated that alout tho first business ubicb Chairman Wulker, of tho Interstate Association, will give his attention to is the fast-train servieo between Chieago and Kansas City. The Wabash trill make a tXioua effort to secure a differential if the

fast service is to be continued, and it prolablywill be, as both the C. &A. and tho C. 15. & Q. people say that they havo put the trains on to stay. Some very elegant combination sleeping and chair cars have been put on by tho Pullman Company, to run between Cincinnati and Peoria, over, the Ohio, Indiana & Western and the Cincinnati, Hamilton &. Dayton roads. Tho Interstate Commission will in a few

days take un the pavment-of-commisions 3 uestion. .Judging lrom tlie remarKS oi udeo Cooler, that body will declare tho practice a virtual cut in rates, and consequently illegal. The vexed question of settlements for the service of freight cars interchanged between the different Toads has been reopened with a good deal of vigor by the Pennsylvania Company, which rather favors the 'straight per diem system." The Ohio it Mississippi Railroad Company has its locomotive department at its new shops in Washington. Ind., in operation, giving employment to 200 men. It will be some six weeks befor the car department i8 in shape to begin operations. General Passenger Agent Brydon, ot the Lake Erie & Western, is endeavoring to ascertain how the scalpers secured some of the road's tickets to western points. Ho is no friend to the scalpers, and is a good deal disturbed over the matter. Tho Chesapeake & Ohio road is receiving several heavy passenger engines built at the .Schenectady works, on which aro a number of improvements suggested by Wm. Garstaug, formerly with the Bee-line, but now superintendent of motive power on the C. &. O. One year ago to-day, the strike on the Philadelphia fc Heading road, which had been in progress eighty-live days, was declared off. About 40 per cent, of tho men who were engaged in the strike are now at work on the road, having drifted back under promises of good behavior. The Ohio & Mississippi company last year nut in thirty miles of steel rails, weighing sixty-seven pounds to the yard. This year it expects to put in fifty miles more. The lighter rails taken up are to be laid on the iSpringtield division, which greatly needs improvement in its physical condition. Mr. Harahan has already taken hold as general manager of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, and seems to be at home. It seems that there were no reasons of any importance for his severing his connections with tho Lake frShore road so abruptly. The climate of Cleveland did not agree with his wife, and the railroad surroundings did not please Mr. Harahan. The Interstate Commission has summoned General Manager Hays, of the Wabash Western, to give his reasons for alleging that the Bee-line has been cutting passenger rates. In passenger circles it is thought that the allegations were made to cover up some rate-cutting which the Wabash Western has been doing in connection with the Wabash proper. The arrangement between the C, C, C. & I. and tho C. L, St. L. &, C. is said to be somewhat similar to that effected by the Vanderbilts in the Michigan Central-Canada Southern deal. The bonds will first receive their interest. The Big Four stock will be entitled to 5 per cent, dividends, the Bee-line to 4 percent., and any surplus beyond will be divided in a pro rata proportion. On the 1st of April J. W. Sherwood will take the position of division superintendent on tho Chesapeake fc Ohio road. His headquarters will be at Hinton, Va. This division is one of the most difficult to operaie on me u. x, u. system, ociug wnat is known as the Mountain division. General Manager Harahan could not have selected a better man than Mr. Sherwood for that place. The improvements recently completed at tho Indianapolis car-works enable it to turn out 12,000 more wheels a year than arc used at the works, although it uses daily an average of 153 wheels. George W. Burnham has been given the work of disposing of the surplus wheels. He started cut last week and sold 6.000. securing contracts to furnish several roads with their wheels for the next six months, the Ohio &. Mississippi ana the C, 11. Cc JJ. being of tho number. On freight-car wheels a guarantee of four years' service is given, and on wheels for passenger coaches a guarantee they will wv-v 1 run w,wu nines. The Court Record. SUPERIOR COURT. Boom l Hon.

How the Thrifty Celestial Makes Both Ends Lap Over. North China IIeralL The Chinese aro pre-eminently econom ical, whether it bo in limiting the number of wants, in preventing waste, or it be in -J! a. t ' 1 A - aujusiiu iorccs in sucn a manner as iu make a little represent a great deal. The universal diet consists of rice, beans, mil let, garden vegetables and fish, with a little meat on high festivals. Wholesome food in abundance may be supplied at less than a penny a aay lor eacn nuuit, anu even in famine times thousands of persons have been kept alive for months on about a half penny a day each. This implies the existence oi a mgn degree oi culinary skui in the Chinese. Their modes of preparing food aro thorough and various. There is no waste; everthing is made to do as much duty as possible. What is left is the veriest trine, ihephvsicial condition of the Chinese dog or cat, who has to live on the leavings of the family, shows this; they are clearly kept on starvation allowances. The Chinese are not extremely fas tidious in regard to food. All is fish that comes to their net. and most things come there sooner or later. Certain disturbances of tho human organization, due to eating diseased meat, are well recognized among the people, but it is considered better to eat the meat, the cheapness of which is certain, and run the risk of tho consequences which are not quito certain, than to buy dear meat, even with tho assurance of no evil results, in deed, the meat of animals which have died of ordinary ailments is rather dearer than that of those which have died in an epi.1 . i ueuuc, sucn as pieuro-pneumonia. - .another example of careful, calculating economy is the construction of tho cookingpots and boilers, the bottoms of which are 1 fll A A A as Tuin as possioie, mat ine contents may boil all the sooner, for fuel is scarce and dear, and consists generally of nothing but the stalks and roots of the crops, which make a rapid blaze and disappear.' Tho business of gathering fuel is committed to children, for ono who can do nothing else can at least pick up straws, and leaves, and weeds. In autumn and winter a vast army of fuel gatherers spread over the land. Uoys ascend trees and beat them with clubs to shake otl the leaves; the very straws get no time to show which way tho wiudblQ'J's before they are annexed by some enterprising collector. Similarly professional manure collectors swarm over all the roads of tho country. Chinese women carrytthis minute economy into their dress; nothing comes amiss to them; if it is not used in one place it is in another, whero it appears a thing of beauty. Foreign residents .who give their cast-oil clothes away to the Chineso may oe assured tnat the career' of usefulness of these garments is at last about to commence. Chinese wheelbarrows squeak for the want of a few drops of oil. but to people who have no nerves t he squeak is cueaper man mo oil similarly uirt is cheaper than hot water, and m. as a rule. the people do not wash; the motto, "Cheaper than dirt." which the soap-dealer puts in nis winnows, couia not oe maao intelligible to tho Chinese. To them the average foreigners are mere soan wasters. Scarcely any tool can be got ready-made; it t A , J , . , is so mucn cueaper to ouy uio pans ana nut them together for vourself. and as al most everybody takes this view, readymade tools are not to be got. Two rooms aro dimly lighted with a single lamp deftly placed in a hole in the dividing wa 11. Chi nese, in fact, seem to be capable of doing almost, any tiling by means of almost nothing. They will give you an iron foundry on a minute scale of completeness in a back-yard, and will make in an hour a cooking-range, of strong and perfect draught, out of a pile of mud-bricks, lasting inuennitely, operating perfectly, ana costing nothing. The old woman who in her last moments hobbled as near as possible to the family grave-yard in order to die so as to avoid the expense of comn-bearers was Chinese. rOISON'Us'G FROM TOOTH PLATES. Tlie Dangers of Imperfectly Prepared and Porous Rubbers. Dr. DaTid Genese, in Annals of Hygiena. The colorine matter of rubber false toothplates is chicny some oxide of metal, that of lead being of a bright red. while tho oxides of bismuth, antimony, aluminum and manganese will give tho rubber tho brown color running to maroon, anu tho pink is obtaiued from aniline colors. Hut it is not in the metallic oxides used in preparation of rubber that danger lies (as tho percentage of. ruuber-soro mouths is so small one in .0,000), but in tho vulcanization itself, which, instead of converting the prepared rubber as received from tho depots into vulcanite, can bo, by carelessness, converted into a porous plate, containing hundreds of thousands of minute holes, each able to absorb and retain tho fermentation from food products, and by its presence constantly against; in tissues ot me moutn cause blood poison. This porosity is caused by overheating tho rubber, thereby converting tho sulphur in tlve mass into snlpurons acid, destroying the fibre of the rub ber by decomposition and setting free the metallic oxides. Whereas, if rubber is cured or vulcanized properly at a tempera ture never exceeding two nuiuirea and eighty to three hundred degrees Fahren heit, it will retain its elastic libres intact: the sulphur will be m its natural state, permeating the rubber and holding the coloring matter so hermetically sealed in its substance that no moisture will dissolve; eveu strong sulphuric acid will not touch it. It is tho duty of those making rubber plates to atteud to these details in the process of manufacture, but where cheap dentistry is sought after Lurry is the result and tho cousequenco very dangerous.
