AFFAIRS OF TIIFi RAILWAYS. Freight Basinets Falling Off SomrwhaU The train records show theligbtcst movement of loaded cars last "week of any week in the last ten. The decrease in the week ending April 27, as compared with the week ending Anril 20, was 501 cars. East hound thero was a slight increase in shipments of grain, lumber and live stock. Export traffic, however, is seldom as light as at the present time. West bound the tonnage is very satisfactory, being handsomely in excess of that of the corresponding period last year, and with each week the shipments seem to increase. Fast time is one of the inducements which is bringing eo much of the through freight for the West and Southwest over Indianapolis lines. All are vying with each other to make a good record. The north-and-south roads are wholly responsible for the decrease in business, each line showing & falling off in movement of loaded cars as compared with the preceding t,.e Jefferaonville, Madison fc Indianapolis making the most unfavorable exhibit. Local business is decidedly heavier than last year at the corresponding period. At the citv freight depots ovcr-timo work is in fashion, and in the after part of the day the platforms are crowded to their utmost capacitv with ongoing freights. Shipments of lumber, biick and stone, in-bound, for building purposes, seldom are heavier. Large quantities of rough timber, for stave factories, the wheel-works and the lumberyards are coming in. The out-bound shipments give evidence that business with the lounge manufactories, the wheel-works, the cart-works, and, in fact, all the thriving industries is at high tide. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at Indianapolis in the week ending April l!7f oa compared with the corresponding weeks. 18s3 and 1S8T:

Belt-road engines last xreek handled 621 car-loads of live stock, against 594 car-loads In the corresponding week in lo&o. increase this year, 27 cars. The percentage of empty cars is on the increase again. Consequently a decrease in earnings Vnay be looked for. During the months which have jU3t passed the percentage of empty cars handled was small. The movement of loaded cars on the east-and-west lines continues to be very even. West-bound, a slight excess is shown. For instance, the U., bt. lu &, I. forwaraea east from Indianapolis 734 loaded cars, and brought in 790; the Bee-line forwarded 877, and brought in 9CC; tho Vandalia sent west &84 loaded cars, and brought in 8G8. Reducing the Numbfr of Employes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington. III., April 28. About fifty employes were discharged yesterday by the Chicago Sc. Alton, including twenty' or twenty-five engineers. The number dis charged' is made up of men in all departments, and all parts of the road. One hun dred and ten employes were let out one week ago yesterday. The company declare a reduction ( of expense is necessary owing 10 ugnt Dusiness. Personal, Local and State Notes. Alexander Miller, an old-time ticket agent, is to take charge of Webb's scalping omce in the liates House. F V Tnrrollo nrooidDTif rt 4V C T L. &. C. and the C. & O. systems of roads, wno nas oecn in new loric lor nearly a month, is expected home on Tuesday. The Creston (la.) Gazette says that the effort to erect a inonnment to the memory of Thomas J. Potter has been slaughtered through the influence of jealous railroad officials, who should have given the monu ment their united support. Geo. D. Wadley has been appointed cen tral manager of the Kentucky Union road. Mr. Wadley was formerly engineer of constructiou on the Mexican central road, but more recently superintendent of the O. &. N. division of the Louisville & Nashville lines. The management of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville road are doing a good deal this year in the way of putting m new steel rails. It is intimated that parties have become interested in this road who propose to make it a lirst-class prop erty. The old proiect of building the Roches ter, Kensselaer & St. Louis road has been revived- Parties are now in possession who propose to build the road froju Rochester to Winamac. Ind., this summer. They say they have the capital needed to at once be gin the work. Gen. Orlando B. Smith, first vice-presi dent of the C. . & 13.. denies that he in tends to retire from railroad service. He has gone to Hot Springs. N. C, for a short time for the benelit of his health, and on his return will resume his active duties on the Baltimore & Ohio system. The ticket-scalpers are much elated oyer a new scheme which will enable them to continue in business without doing violence to the spirit of the interstate law. Eminent legal authority, it is stated, has given an opinion that the proposed plan is not in connict with the provisions or the law. It is stated that the Chicago & Alton and the Illinois Central railroad companies will both bo bidders for certain portions of the Wabash system at the coming, foreclosure Bale: but the purchasing committee are very sanguine that the road will be sold run an entirety, and then reunited with the Wabash Y estern, as formerly. The statement of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company for March bears ont the enrrent belief that the interstate law is a bencuclal act for this road, the gross earnings of the month reaching nearly 5,000,000, and the net earnings have been but once exceeded In March. With nut. ATrfntinn. ita Western lines did better the first quarter mis year man in inxs. Indications are that a new association of all roads doing business between Chicago and St. Paul will be organized, the association to cover the territory occupied by the trunk lines between those points and their extensions. The movement is made, doubtoj. iuvuuiiui iud nuriingion cc Northern, which has so long been a free iance in max. territory. It is expected that the Bee-linn tHII h flVA less trouble in the future from l1nt1 trains which aro turned over to them at Cleveland uytiie Lake fchore road, which places all the blame on the New York Central. Under a law passed by the Legislature of New York last week the trains of the New York Central can run through nv town or village containing less than 50.000 i t " . . A. A 1 . . . V . . . inuaoiianis ai xue rate ox tmrty miles an hour. The extension of the West Maryland mail from Bnle Kidge summit to Gettysburg will be opened for business May 2a This line runs over a route laid out by the late Thaddeus Stevens fifty years ago. It was the first railroad grading done in the United States, although subsequently abandoned on account of its sharp curves. The arches and culverts then constructed were found to he in good condition. General Manager Beach, of the Bee-line. has given notice to counectionsat all points that this company will nt hereafter offer any freight to connections at junction or Terminal points between the hours of 6 a. W. Sunday and 6 a. m. Monday, nor will the Bee-line receive any freight from such connections between th hours named, the only exceptions be!ug live stock and pcrioiMUioiicisnis, wuicu me company win deliver ana receive tne same as heretofore. It is stated that it was th roiiffh th a in. agent of the Uecline, that George Daniels was given the position of general passenger gent of the New York Central road. Among v estern passenger agents an iin

pression prevails that Mr. Martin would have maae a better man for the trunk lines than the one selected, though both are very capable gentlemen and mako good records wherever placed. The Chicago & Alton can hardly be blamed for reducing the lumber rates, as proposed, if tho statements of its loss in business through tho higher rates are trno. Figures summitted to the 'chairman of the Interstate Asoociation showed that the hiffh rates had reduced its lumber tratlio from &U8.000, iu ISfiO. to 20,000 the first three months of 18K; but the managers of the Minnesota and Wisconsin roads say that should the C. fc A. carry out its threats and reduce lumber rates, it will cause them a loss of over a million dollars annually. It is stated that more complaints have been filed with the Interstate Commissioners relative to the issuance of free passes in violation of tho law than from any other cause, and this is why the commission has summoned the general passenger agents of a number of roads beforo th?mon Friday next Tho commission say that they propose to find out what grounds there are for such complaints. The joint rate committee of the Eastern and Western lines have issued a circular letter declaring that some of the roads are still manipulating rates, notwithstanding the recent agreement of tho associated lines and tho amended interstate-commerce act. The method by which this is done is changing tho destination of shipments while in transit and so securing the benefit of low through rates on local shipments.

The Pennsylvania spccisl left Indianapo1U S.itnrdftv afternoon with eight cars. three of them Pullman vef tibule cars, every berth taken. On the rear of the train ua9 the private car of General Superintendent Miller, which went as far east as Columbus. O. Just east of Richmond tho family of Hon. John C. New and Mr. Romeo Johnson, who left on that train for England, were invited into tho car and sat down to a dinner which equaled one of Delmonico's best. it was a genuine surprise io me inviieu guests. The last week has demonstrated that tho so-called weaker lines have but little show for business if held to rates on cither pas senger or freight tratlic. Out of the large travel to New York, the latter part of the week, the Pennsylvania and tho Bee-line carried the bulk of the business; the O., I. &. W.. and the C, H. & I., with their Erie and Baltimore & Ohio connections, did nothing, and the C, I., St. L. & C. but little better. That to get any business tho more indirect lines must have a lower rate is quite evident or else they may as well withdraw from the held as through passenger lines. Every month the evil effects of the inter state law on such roads as the Ohio, Indiana & Western and the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western become more visible. As one of the high officials put it Saturday: "It begins to look as if we must fold our hands and let tho direct lines, which are under control of the four trunk lines, do the business.77 Another remarked if the present state of affairs long existed their roaa wouia not earn cnougn xo pay its operating expenses. "Roads which are at tho A. 1 A A . mercy of connections, as are those named above, have anytning but a brignt tuture before them, if the interstate law is en forced to the letter," said the third. The interstate law is worrying the New Enclanders as well as the Westerners. For .years past a scneme nas been in enect between the merchants of Boston ana tne railroads reaching out over the New England States whereby, for a week each month, retail merchants in the surrounding country have been brought into the city for half fare. Some of the chronic growl ers in such towns took exceptions to the arrangement this year and charged that it is contrary to the spirit of the interstate law. As a result the plan will not likely be continued this year. One of tho roads proposes to get around the law by issuing an excursion ticKet good for the going trip on a single specified day of each week, and on a specified train. i FLVA TO TIER LOVER, An Ingenuous Maiden's Speech In "The Witness of the Sun. From Amelie Rlves's Latest Note. "I seem to have belonged to you always," she said with her beautiful candor. "I seem only to have a right to myself through you. lour love makes me glad to be my self, because if I had been any one else, no matter how great or good, you would not have loved me. and your love is best. No, no; you must not speak; you must not con tradict me. J ust let me say what is in my heart. I feel that what is thero must run into your heart like a stream into the great sea. It is wonderful to think that I have your love I out of the world! It is as though a great star were to concentrate its light all on some little flower and say, 'I will shine only for this flower that I love.1 It is as though some high one in heaven were to refuse to sing in the great choir. that his voice might be heard only in the dreams of some poor woman on earth whom he loved and waited for. Ah. do not inter rupt me! It is so big in my heart. It strains me. I have no one else to speak to indeed, no one that I care to speak to. You are tho only one the very first the first since I was a little child and I gave you my silver book. You helped to form my life, t You helped to mako me into what i you now love, iou were like a song through the silence of my life. Always your memory was with me at the right moment. I never had a wrong thought, a wrong impulse, that your face did not como to me as clear, as clear it was as clear as that white magnolia flower there in the moonlight. "And vour eves wonld look so grieved. I longed to ask your pardon, to have you take my hand and say that you forgavo me. 1 dreamed about you sometimes when 1 was awake, sometimes when 1 was asleep. When I used to fancy how it would be if you were dead it seemed to me that my life would never stop going on, on, on, on. And my heart seemed like a tiresome voice insisting that l was alive. I would try not to listen to it, but it would seem to fill the room. And then I would lie quite still and think. After all, it is you who love him, my heart, lieat on, beat on. Oh, do not stop; without you I could not give him my love.' " STRANGE rEOPLE OF riTCAIRN. An Island Inhabited by the Descendants of a Gang of Mutinous Sallon. Philadelphia, Special. When the clipper ship L. Schepp, which has just tied up at Race-street wharf, was beating down in the trade winds in the dreary waste of the South Pacific ocean, on her way from San Francisco to Philadelphia, Captain Gates was much surprised to find, on coming on deck one mornjng, a boat-load of stalwart men approaching his vessel. An island was seen a short distance off the starboard bow, and on tho boat getting within hailing distance an aged and decrept man in the bow shouted: Iam Thursday October Christian, Governor of Pitcairn island." He said that tho population of Pitcairn consisted of one hundred and fifteen men, women and children. Captain Gates ordered the yards aback, and in a few minutes eighteen men were on the ship's deck, all ot whom bore evidence of English ancestry. They were extremely religions, and held exclusively the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventists, the result ofj the . work of a missionary who was wrecked there years ago while bound from San Francisco to China. The Governor stated that he was the grandson of on of the mutineers who. in 17fc, set adrift the oflicets of the English war-ship Bounty, and then bore away for the island of Otaheite, and had lived for years there before being discovered. They wero afterward arrested and sent to England for trial. Tho Governor said that the use of tobacco and liquors was entirely unknown among the people of Pitcairn. aud that the little colony were in need of dress goods, particularly for the women, as nearly all of the latter were dressed in men's clothes, secured f-oni passing vessels. A supply of clothing was given, and an abundance of fruit and provisions was sent on board the ship in exchange. The Biggest Man. Judge. School-teacher Who is called the father of his country?

BROTHER GARDNER OX DIVORCE.

He Is In Faror of the Separation of Uncon genial Mati imonlal Partners, Detroit Pre Press. I obsarve dat de semi-annual occasion fur pitchin' into de divorce courts is now at hand," said Brother Gardner, as the Lime-kiln Club opened in due and ancient form. "It has alius struck me as a mighty inconsistent thing fur people to argue dat you kin trade a hoss which doanf suit sell a hoss you aoan' likebust up a bizness partnership which ar unpleasant-give away yer dog an' pizen yer cat, but yon musn't part from de husband or wife who is makin' yer life one of misery.

A rattle Story Told by a Horrid Man About Women Doctors. Chicago Times. 'I see by yesterday's papers," remarked a women's medical college has weaned a cou ple of dozen young lady M. D s.

"rot that they are unskillful in the profession, but they are liable to overlook email bets, as it were. The worst blunder in this line that ever caino under my notice occurred during an operation performed in a Cnicago hospital by a woman, and which, to my knowledge, has never been equaled in the history of surgery. "The patient was a cirl under treatment for a tumor in tho stomach. After several months of fruitless medical treatment the female physicians in charge decided to resort to the knife. Accordingly the victim was placed under the inlluence of anaesthetics, laid out on a slab in the presence of numerous doctors and nurses of the female persuasion, and tho carving began. Tho maiden was opened in scientific style and the tumor successfully removed, as wero also several large antiseptic sponges which had been placed in tho aodominalcavity to absorb the blood during the operation. "Then the incision was neatly stitched with silver wire, the boss surgeon had rolled down her sleeves and was receiving congratulations, when a young doctress, who had taken the precaution to count the sponges before aud after using, suddenly exclaimed: 0h. doctor, you have left a sponge inside of the patient!'

A sleeping-car porter on the Pittsbnrg fc Lake Erie told me a day or two ago that tne company required, mm to ask each passsenger wuicn way ne wouia liKe to have his bed made up head or feet toward the engine. "What difference does it make?" I asked. "Well, y see. boss," was the answer, "if yo head is to the engine yo is out of de draughts. Bnt ef thar is a smash-up inthe night yo' head is smashed and yo is dead far shuah. Some genelmen dey say dat dey don't want to take no chance, so dey hez aar leet put to ue engine, lien it dey is a smash-up dere feet an laigs may bo squashed, but dere head an' body may not be hurt, an' so dere lives is saved." "Very nice," I observed. "But do you think that a smash-up is so very likely on an ordinary night journey that you must make up the beds with especial reference to such a contineencv." "I dnnno 'bout dat in particular. But dey say dat every railroader cits it in co'se ob time, cf he on'y stays on do road long enough.

For my own part, and I speak from sad experience I would rather be a convict m a fitate prison, a slave in a rice-swamp, than to pass through life under the harrow of debt. L.et no young man misiudce him self unfortunate, or truly poor, so long as be has the full use of his limbs and facul ties, and is substantially free from debt. Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, contempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, an disacreeable; br.r debt is infinitely worse than them all. A id, if it had pleased God to spare either or all of roy sons to be the support and solace of my declining years, the lesson which I should nave most earnestly sought to inixref upon them is, "Never run into

debt! Avoid pecuniary obligation as yon

but lifty cents, and get no more work for a week, buy a peck of corn, parcn it, ana live on it, rather than owe any many a dollar!" Of course. I know that some men must do business that involves risks, and must often give notes and other obligations, and I do not consider him really in debt who can lay his hands directly on the means of faying at some little sacrifice all be owes; speak of real debt that which involves risk or sacrifice on the one side, obligation and dependence on the other and I say a . . ft 1 irom all such, let every youth numuiy pray Uod to preserve him evermore! American Social Tyranny. Boston Herald. The social demand Is that each one shall suppress his individual will or opinion and conform to the social usaeres of his set. l they drink, he must drink; if they gamble. he must cramble! if thev smoke, ne must smoke; if they eat late suppers, he must cat late suppers. Whatever the vices of society are, he must indulge in his full share of them or be ostracised and called a fool. This sort of tyranny is written large all over American society.
