' AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Tht Only Way to Suppress Ticket Scalping. Ono of the oldest and best-posted railroad officials in the service, who has given the matter of ticket-scalping a good deal of '-thought, in commenting on an article which recently appeared in the Evening Nevra, nnd on the editorial comments on the same.

Bam mat in iui3 article ana in iue emiuriai comments an impression is conveyed that if railroad companies would provide for the redemption of tickets at their value the ticket-brokers' business would be suppressed and discrimination prevented. This position, he said, is hardly tenable. Tho Indiana law compels the rodemption of 1 t 4 V. 4ln1roa 1 n f if permits the railroad companies to take out the local rate as far as the ticket is used, consequently there is no inducement to the passenger to surrender his ticket; ho can get more for it by reselling it. This would be true with a pirailar United States law. For instance, the rate from Indianapolis to Kansas City is 14, the rate from Indianapolis to Chicago is $5.50 and from Chicago to Kansas Citv it is $12.50: thus a ticket lrom Indian-' apolis to Kansas City, via Chicago, is xeallv worth18, and if sold at the short-line rate "gives a margin of $i for speculation, f it n 'il Alrnl n caniritfill A VI tfi llfiAil different passengers, or if tho line from Chicago to Kansas City should be compelled to redeem that ticket at its value, -which. I take it, means either the proportion that line would receive of the through rate of $14 or its local rato from Chicago to Kansas City, $12.50. If, with such a law, tickets should continue to be sold at the rate of $14. passengers going to Chicago would purchase tickets to Kansas City and present their unused coupons in Chif i rrr orwl trnt flip V:1ilt anil no vufev huh vmivvi aim aa iuu yiu . iL - iL. U t At i l .1 rate oi iuh luruugu raio vi 914 wuum give. - in rough liguies, $3.75 from Indianapolis to Chicago and $10.4J5 from Chicago to Kanhere to Chicago for 1.75 less than the reg- J mar rate; consequently, those passengers sharp enough to purchase these tickets would get an advantage over those buying regular Chicago tickets of $1.75 on each ticket; or if the railroads were compelled to redeem at $12.50 the margin would be etill greater in favor of the passenger purchasing a through ticket at the short-line rate; and if the railroad companies should continue to sell through tickets, with such laws as this in effect, they would build up the brokerage business instead of suppressing it, because tho brokers would Know positively just what could be done with the tickets and the passengers would bo willing to pay them something for aiding them in getting their unused coupons redeemed. Consequently, if such a national law should le passed, the railroad companies would immediately withdraw from sale all tickets via round-about routes, and through tickets would not be sold by routes where there is much difference between the sum of the locals and the through rates. The only possible way to prevent third parties from manipulating tickets, and still at the v eanie time give the public the benefit of competition in through rates, is to commpel all lines selling tickets by round-about routes at the short-line line rates to use continuous passage, nontransferable train contracts, and not permit any redemption of unused coupons. Jf this was generally adopted railroad companies would do their local business at their local rates, and their through business at their proper proportion of through rates. Conductors Select Ixeatlon for a Home. Denver, CoL, Slay 21.At tho session of the railroad conductors' convention to-day the question of selecting a place for the location of headquarters of the order was settled, Sioux City, la., being decided upon as the place. The citizens of Sioux City give the order $75,000 in cash, the order to erect a $200,000 building, upon which tho citizens guarantee the order 8 per cent, net income, and at the expiration of ten years, .if the order so desires, the citizens will take tho property off their hands at the original cost price, with 10 per cent added. The insurance question, referring to the second class, was favorably voted upon. The disability claims shall not exceed $2,500 for each certificate in Class A. and 1.000 in Class B for death; $500 disability. They will adjourn to-morrow. JIackej's Consolidation Scheme Ratified St. Louis, Mo., May 21. At a meeting of the stockholders of tho Belleville, Centralia & Eastern Illinois and St. Louis railways, held in Belleville, 111., to-day, tho consolidation of these lines with the Mackey system, which comprises the Louis- . ville, Evan-mile & St. Louis, the Evansvillo fc Terre Haute and the Peoria, Decatur &, Evansville was ratified. The Belleville, Centralia &. Eastern will now complete ar rangements for the construction of a lino lrom Belleville to .Mount Vernon, which will complete tho link, with tho Mackey system, into St. Louis. The Illinois &. St. Louis is a coal road, recently acquired by the Mackey system to complete tho line to 6t. Louis. ' MM MMH Personal, Local and State Note. A. E. Schrader, general freight and passenger agent of the Ohio Valley road, has established his headquarters in Evansvillo permanently. The Cincinnati freight committee has voted to close all the outside froght offices in Cincinnati from June 1 to Sept. 28 on Saturday afternoon at 2 p. M. In tho year 1SS8 but two roads running into Indianapolis earned more per mile on passenger business than did tho Ohio, Indiana & Western on its Peoria division. It is unofficially announced that Samuel R. Ainsleo, the present general superintendent of the Northern Pacific, will succeed General Manager Mellen, of the Wisconsin Central, on July 1. One of tho leasing lines is complaining of the heavy cost it is them to enter the Union Station for business. Last year it cost the company 24 cents a head for every passenger it took out of the station. Trains of the Ohio Valley road began running into the Evansville fc Terro Haute station at Evansvillo. yesterday, tho trains being transferred by boat across the river. At the pace which Evansville has been gaining railroads of late she will soon have as many as has Indianapolis. The Litchfield car-works have gone into the building of passenger coaches on a more extensive scale, and have an order from the Union Pacific for eighteen coaches. In their freight department they are building 150 fruit, fifty refrigerator and fifty box cars for the Cairo Short-line. Tho gross earnings of the C. I., St. L. & C, for April. ISsO, were $208,000.04; net earnings, SSV250.72; increase in net earnings over those of April, 1SSS, S21.5Sl.fi.. This increase in net earnings shows that the management is operating the road at minimum cost nd maintaining the physical condition of the property. C. P. Webb, ticket-broker, has become uneasy over the turn matter are taking with the scalpers, and staited yesterday for New York, to attend the annual meeting of the brokers now in session in that cit. It iseipected that the sessions will cover several days, so much is there to discuss and so much is there to be done looking to tho protection of their interests. The Ohio, Indiana &. Western road, on Snuday next, makes several important changes in its running time, adding a new train uoth ways on the Peoria division. They will depart from tho Union Station, west-bound, at 7:45 a.m. 12 o'clock noon, 0 r. M and 11 p. M; will arrivo from tho west at 3:50 a. m., 10 a. M.,2:40 r. M. and u:J0 i i. The only change on tho eastern division will be that the first train in the morning will depart about 4 a. m. instead of b a. M., a now." The passenger department of the Chicago. Burlington A (Juincy road clings to its method of advertising of four years past that in, distributing laus all over tho country. Anticipatingthat it was to be a warm summer in Indiana, they shipped a car-load to District Passcnirer Agent C. W. Boardman, who is distributing them broadcast, nt the same Hum extolling the advantages which this road possesses over its competitors. Passenger trains on the I., D. k W. railway aro making somo pretty good time. Their No. 3 (night express) shows an average speed of 42 miles per hour for oue entire month; minimum number of stops. 17; maximum number of stops, 23 per trip; minimum time made no. Ill minutes! maxi mum time made up, 22 minutes each trip. This train arrived at Decatur on timo 2S times. No. 4 (night express) arrived at Indianapoli on time vl times during tho

month. Considering that there are but

three minutes difference in average time mado up, and that these trains were hauled by tivo different engineers, it is pretty hard to conceive the possibility of better averages being mado. i Commencinir Snndav. Juno 2. all of the railroads having citv ticket offices in Chi cagothat is, ticket offices in the city out side of depots will discontinue the present practice of keeping such places open for business from 10 a. m. till noon Sundays. Tho depot offices will be open, as usual, in ample timo before the outgoing trains to accommodate the Sunday traffic. An im portant step towards Sunday observance is involved in the change, asthe effect will be the closing of twenty-five offices, relieving 150 men entirely from Sunday duty. Without ouefction tho cate-keepers at the Union Station should bo given authority, under certain circumstances, to admit persons to tho train sheds who do not chance to have tickets or passes. When a husband, as was the case yesterday, with a sickly wife and two children, comes to tho gate and wishes to see them on to the train they are to take, the gate man should have authority to admit the party or when a son accompanies an aged mother to the train he snould be permitted to seo her on to the train safely. Men should be employed at the cates who have judgment sufficient to tell where it is proper to admit persons. One of the most extraordinary cases on record was instituted in the Superior Court at Raleigh. N. C. yesterday, by W. T. Hodge, a citizen of the county. It seems that, about twenty years ago, a statute was enacted requiring all railroads operating in the State to make annual reports of business to the Governor of the State, and a failure to make such reports made tho railroads liable to a penalty of $500. which should go to any citizen who would sue for it. The statute nas never been observed by the railroads, and Hodge has instituted suit against forty railroads to get the penalty. If successful, he will gain an aggregate amount of $20,000. Thirty days ago the roada carrying live stock between Missouri river points and Chicago entered into an agreement binding themselves not to consume less than thirtytwo hours in making tho run from Missouri river to Chicago. The reason assigned for Blowing up these trains is the largo COSt attached to running them at the high speed indulged in prior to entering the agreement. The Chicago & Northwestern was the leader in the movement. Now, General Manager Whitman, of the C. & N. W., has withdrawn from the agreement suddenly, and the roads competing propose to nut on their fast stock trains again, and let tho retrenchment idea go to the dogs. The employes at the city freight depots are downcast. They had it all arranged with the business men to send no freights to the depots after 12 o'clock Saturday, so that the men could get Saturday afternoon off'. Every wholesale merchant favored the movement, but when tho matter was broached to the agents two of them declined to take any steps in making a half holiday of Saturday through June, July, August and September, as proposed, and gave the men to understand that if they could not work six days in the week, and nights and Sundays, if necessary for them to do so, on account of heavy business, they would rind men who would till their places. So the early-closing Saturday afternoon scheme is "busted." W. E. Thurber, formerly with the Bee line, has put into practical operation a neat device, Which promises to yield him a handsome revenue. Through the invention, cards are placed on cars when the train is in motion, if necessary, without the use of tacks. The device is simple, and in three months its cost will bo saved in the saving in tacks. The invention consists of a spring attached to a bar which is secured to the car. Attached to the spring is a wire frame so adjusted that it is held tightly to the car by the spring. On different pieces of wire aro four steel points. The frame can be raised from the car, and the card slipped under the frame, which, when released, pins the card against tho car. President Caldwell, of tho Nickel-plate, has ordered that their freight equipment be provided with the device. It is stated that curious things are done at the quarters of the Interstate Commission, Washington. At the recent conference on the commission question, General Manager Jeffrey, of tho Illinois Central, admitted that he had ticket agents in his employ who would not hesitate to receive commissions on the sale of tickets of foreign roads, in direct violation of his orders and of the rulings of the commission, but he did not say that he proposed to find out who thev were and discharge them. It is also stated that Receiver McNulta, of tho Wabash, told the commissioners that he had seventy-five coupon agents in his employ, and he believed that seventy-four would do just as General Manager Jeff rey said his men would. He, too, failed to intimate that it was his intention to send one or any number of his law-breakers adrift. Within the last two years several of the branches of the Pennsylvania system of roads have become paying institutions, and others would be if the attention were given them which should be. No one questions that were the Pennsylvania Company to expend somo money in building branches on the Indianapolis & Vincennes road to stone quarries in easy reach, and to aid in developing the coal-mining industries on that line, it would, in the near future, become profitable to the company. The Pennsvlvania Schuylkill Valley road, which, when built, it was said would not get business enough to pay for tho grease used on the wheels, has grown in the past two years to rank among the .best paying assets held by tho Pennsylvania Kailroau Company, and several other branches aro paying operating expenses, fixed charges and have a handsome surplus left. An old-time Ohio and Indiana railroad man remarked yesterday that the career of the Bee-line in the matter of consolidation with other lines has been a remarkable one. Some thirteen years ago it was proposed to consolidate the Bee-lino with the New York, Pennsylvania fc Ohio road, and enough of the stockholders were in favor of the movement to carry it through, and but for the prompt action of a few dissenting stockholders, who went to Columbus, O., and got a bill through the Legislature forbidding the consolidation of parallel lines would have done so. Eight years later, by a largo majority of the stockholders of both roads, it was voted to consolidate the Bee-line with the Cincinnati, Hamilton &. Dayton, and so sure were .the managers of tho movement that it would bo done that they went ahead and had most of the Bee-lino and C. II. & D. equipment relettered "Ohio Railway." Opponents of the consolidation rallied and brought the matter before the Supreme Court of Ohio, and the very legislation which Bee-line stockholders secured a few years before to prevent the consolidation of tho Bee-line and the N. Y., P. &. O. defeated the consolidation of the Beelino and the C, H. fc D. From this it will be seen that there is good ground for tho belief on tho part of Judge Burke and his friends that the consolidation of the Beeline and C, I., St. L. & C. will never be consummated, or at least such consolidation may be far off. When Eugenie Took the Caique. Rochester rost-Eapreas. A London correspondent writing of Empress Eugenie's reception at Constantinople many years ago, says: "When the steamer on which 6he had arrived came to anchor the royal caique that had been prepared for her transportation to the shore was immediately pushed off and rowed with lightning like rapidity by twenty caique-jees. The caique was forty feet lone, and had a canopy of red velvet, with heavy gold fringe at the stern, with curtains that could bo raised or lowered at will." And, to make the story short, Eugenie took tho caique. Mr. McCloskej's Scorn. Troy Times. Thtf Hon.

INDIANA TIIE CIIOSEN SPOT.

Thorough Acclimation Necessary to Health and Good Fortune. Relief Tras Sought and Found Through the Experience of Others Who Have Told the Story Often. A few minutes ride on the Big Four road brings us to tho beautiful little village of Beech Grove, around which is the besfarming district of Marion county, and, indeed, 6ome of the prettiest farms in Indiana. It was here the writer met Mr. Wm. K. Brown, the subject of this sketch, and the following statement was elicited from him: "I have not lived in Indiana always, but my residence here has been sufficiently long to become thoroughly acclimated. About ten years ago I left the East to seek my fortune in tho West I finally drifted to Indiana, and have remained here ever since. I noticed the climate did not agree with me. At first I was attacked with violent fits of sneezing, and would take cold on the least provocation, causing my nose to btop up first on one side then on the other, and it was necessary forme to breathe through my mouth, which kept that useful organ open most of the time. Upon rising I would have a bad taste in my mouth, and I WOULD FEEL TIRED and unrefreshed even more than upon re tiring the previous night. I noticed a thin watery discharge from my nose, -which in time became thicfe and tenacious. I hawked and spit continually, which was more disagreeable than can be described. My memory was also bad. I would forget things of the most recent occurrence, and the pain in my head above the eves was sometimes almost unbearable. My eyes would water freely upon the least ex post ure. My appetite was bad. At times iwas more like work to eat than a pleasure, I would have a dull, heavy pain in my stom ach, which would nauseate me. l had a ringing sound in my ears with a fullness as though something was in the ears. It bothered me most at night. My heart would palpitate violently, and I became so weak and nervous that LIFE WAS ALMOST A BURDEN. While reading the Indianapolis papers I noticed the statements of tho patients cured by tho Blair Treatment, 203 North Illinois street, and concluded to try it After consulting the Doctor he told me my trouble was from catarrh. He told me, also, it would probably take three months-to cure me. I have been under treatment that length of time, and find my head does not pain me. My nose and throat are clear, I eat and sleep well. In fact, I am entirely cured of catarrh, and most cheerfully recommend the treatment to all who suffer asI did." Mr. William K.
