AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS

PrcsidentRobertsandOtberOfScialsInspcctinir the rcnnsjlvania Lines. i Yies-Fretldent HcCrea Talks About Indianapolis Tiaincts Onr Shippers Flaced on a Tar with Those of Chicago. i Tbo inspection party of the Pennsylvania lines, with Fresident Koberts at its head, and numbering some trentyllye people, reached Indianapolis at 3 r. m. yesterday. Fifteen minutes were spent in going through the shops, and the train then carao cn to the Union Station. The party is made np chiefly of directors of the Pennsylvania lines and large holders of the securities, the English investors being represented by two of their number. The party arrived at the Union Station atS:15p. m., spent Un minutes in looking over the building, and then left for Terr Haute. At Indianarolis John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Southwestern system, bis division superintendents. and E. B. Walls, superintendent of motive power, left the party, and President McKeen. General Manager Williams and General Freight Asrent Hibbard joined it. General Manager Wood. General Passenger Agent Ford and Chief Engineer Becker, of the Pennsvlv&nia lines, remained, going on to St. Loo:. President Koberts stated that their trip cad been an unusually pleasant one over the lines both east and west of Pittsburg, and all were pleased with the excellent physical condition of the several divisions over which they had passed. Vice-president McUrea, next in authority to President Roberts on the lines west of Pittsburg, said that the lines were now being operated with very satisfactory results, operating expenses were down to about a low a point as they well could be and maintain tho efficiency of the train service and the present excellent condition of the road-bed and its equipments, lie said that the business of the road is being carried at better rates, and there has been a handsome increase in the volura of passenger business over their entire svetem. He expressed himself as pleased with tho progress making on the Virginia-avenue viaduct, but still insists that it was a mistake to pnt it thero instead of on Meridian street. To the remark that tho city will want a second one there, he said, "Well, they will have to put up tho money to build it, then." Chief Engineer Becker said that on the lino west of rittttburg the improvements to the property have been carried steadily on this year, and the sum or money expended in that direction inlfcOl would not fall far short of that of former years. It did not pay. he said, to let railway properties deteriorate in order to show large net earnings. This had never been tho policy of the Pennsylvania people. The run from Indianapolis to Terr Haute was madt in less than two hours, and tho party expressed itself as being pleased with the condition of the track and with the manner tSe Vandalia was treating them as its direct Western connection. The party will go to St. Loais this morning, spend the aiternoon there, and go to Chicago to-night The Wealthy rullman Car Company. The annual meeting of, the stockholders of the Pullman Palace-car Company was held yesterday at Chicago. Over $18,C00,000 capital stock was represented. Tho financial statement for the liscal year ending July SI showed that the revenue from the earnings of cars, from patents, manufacturing, rentals, dividends, interest, etc.. amounted to $0,772.22 1. The disbursements for the same period were $fVTj3,101. leaving a surplus for the year of $.VttV--23- The total assets of the company are $45,034,0:15, and the total liabilities $20,201,370. Th directors reported that the output of t!.e manufacturing departmeut duringtho year amounted to 8 Il.0c6.077. being an increase over the preceding year of 2,tU0,5I4. To meet the steady growth of business, and especially the demand incident to tho world's fair in lbTtt. the directors nsked authority to issuo 50,000 shares additional stock. The request was granted, the capital stock beintr increased 20 per cent The additional stock is to be offered to stockholders at par, such holders to have the option until Nov. 17 to subscribe to an extent not exceeding onofHth of their holdings of record on Hot. 2. The following directors wore re-elected: Geo. W. Pullman. Marshall Field. J. W. Doane, Norman Williams and O. S. A. Spracue, of Chicago: Henry 2$. Hulbert. of New Vorfc, and Henry K. lieod. of Boston. At a subsequent meeting of the board the old officers were re-elected. The usual quarterly dividend of 2 por cent, per share was declared payable on and after Nov. 10 to stockholders of recond at the close of business Nov. 2. In a supplemental communication to the stockholders'. President Pullman reported thatl'Jl sleeping, parlor and dining cars had been built during the year, costing an average of 510,124 per car. The number of cars owned or controlled by tho company is 2.2L9. The number of passengers carried during tho year was 5.310.813, against 5.023,-0-77 lor the preceding year, an increase of about C per cent Tho total number of persons iu the employ of the company, in its manufacturing and operating departments, was 1S.8S5 and the wages paid during the year amounted to $7,303, lOS. Matters Comlus to a Head with the O. & EL The Ohio & Mississippi railroad stockholders met in a meeting adjourn d from last week, at the general oJices it Cincinnati yesterday. The principal business to be transacted was the election of three directors In place of three whoso terms expire, but much Interest was manifested owing to the negotiations, which are said to ha7e been completed subject to ratification, for making tho Ohio & Mississippi a part of the Baltimore & Ohio system. While the nature of the transaction could not bo presented to this meeting for action it was referred tola a general tray, and was made the reason fur a motion to adjourn the meeting to Nov. VJ. to give stockholders time for consideration. 1 ho motion prevailed, hut not without opposition. There were present Messrs. Sloan and Lord, of Baltimore, and Mr. Tracy, of bprinptield. 111., representing the B. & O. railroad interests, and they opposed adjournment. The O. .V M. contingent, apparently opposed to the deal, were represented by W. M. Bamsey, who said they were not informed of the nature of the proposed negotiations or arrangements, and they wanted timo to become informed, so that they could rote intelligently on the schject iu their choice of directors. A viva rcee voto was taken, and adjournment carried. Objection was made to this vote becauso it was viva voce, nnd the B. & O. interest have called another meeting for to-day, claiming that this adjournment is Illegal. Who Offni the Monou. Within tho last few weeks largo blocks ef stock of the Louisville, Now Albany t Chicago road havo been changing hands, and mention was made recently that tbo holders of stock in Boston had entirely unloaded. Now the report comes with some decree of anthoritv that a syndicate has been formed, with John B. Carson at its head, which has secured a controlling in-ter-t in the road, and that they will in a few days show their ham!. When tho Breyfogle management took control the Carson syndicate waa with little ceremony thrown overboard, and indications now are that he is about to turn tho scales in favor of the Carson people. X'UcM on a I'arultli Chicago Shippers. Per years past tho general freight agents of tho Western lines out of Indianapolis have insisted that the freight-basing rate to Mississippi-river points should be the same from Indianapols as from Chicago. This has been fought by the Chicago roads, the Chicago shippers and manufacturers, and. until now, by tho CentralTraflio Association. Tho latter, after much persuasion, has conceded the point, and has authorized that hereafter the Western instead of the oQicJal classification should be used by Indianapolis lines to ail MisshsipDi-river points, and that the rates be tne same. U"his is a reduction on the higher class of fxtightof 10 cents per 100 pounds in favor

of tho Indianapolis ehippor, and on tho lower classes the reduction is fully 33 per cent The lirsi-class rate to Kansas City, for instance, now 05 cents per 100 pounds, will be, under the new tariff, 85 cents, but the redaction is more marked m the lower class of freights. On shipments to St. Louis there Is a sharp reduction; the rato now is. a fourta-claKs. 12 rents per -100 pounds. Indianapolis to ht Louis; under the new tariff it will be but 8 cents. The CentralTraflio Association will lix the date for the newly. authorized rates to go into effect in a day or two. Personal. Local una General Notas. F. S. Bradway has been appointed freight and ticket agent of tho Vandalia at Bridgeport, O. D. Richards, chief engineer of the Michigan division of the Lake Shore, has resipned, to take effect Nov. 1. The Middletown &, Cincinnati road, from Middletown to Kings Station, is uearing completion, and will be opened for traffic Nov. 1. Thomas P. Barry, assistant general passenger agent of the Iowa Central, has been promoted to the otHce of general passenger agent, to take effect at once. F. W, Fonke has been appointed general freight agent of the Philadelphia & Beading road, in charge of all through traffic of the road west of PitWburg and Buffaio. W. A. Bly to-day succeeds J. B. Munson as general freight and passenger agent of the Knoxville & Cumberland Gap road. His headquarters will be at Knoxville, Tenn. Two class "1" locomotives have been built at the shops of the Pennsylvania Company, Columbus. U.. which are to be placed in service on the Chicago division of the Panhandlo lines. Several American coaches of the most improved pattern are being built in this country for the Southeastern railway of England, where there is a growing sentiment in favor of tho American type of car. Contracts are being let for building the extension of the Ohio Valley road from Princeton to HopkinGvillc, Kv. This road promises at no distant day to be a valuable one to the business interests of Evausville. The annual meetincs of the stockholders of the several Mackcy lines have been held this week. In each caso the old board of directors was re-elected, they, in turn, .electing the same officers as have been at tho head of affairs. It is understood that Col. James Montgomery, late superintendent of the Ohio Vallev road, is to be appointed superintendent of the Kentucky & Indiana bridge and other interests recently acquired by tho Mackey syndicate. The report that It C. Harris, division superintendent of the Lake Shore, is to resign is confirmed. It will not take effect until Nov. 15. at which time A. II. Smith, superintendent of the Kalamazoo branch, will tako the position vacated by Mr. Harris. The Brotheihood of Telegraphers' lodge at Logansport, which was reported as having surrendered its charter, was reorgan

ized iato an O. It 1. lodge, Oct. 11, according to tho amalgamation agreement entered into by the B. of T. and the U. It T. at St Louis Sept 15. J. H. Hchwerzgen. ex-vico grand secretary of the B. of T., and Cnas. S. Andreas, grand organizer, were present at the meeting. The October number of the Firemen's Magazine is out, and is unusually readable. It speaks of the effort being made to ereot a monument to the memory of W. P. Kobineon. tho founder of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, who died at Washington, Ind., a few months ago. The inaijazino solicits a contribution of 25 cents from each member to build the monument. A fund of 8102.60 has already been raised. The new trains which the Illinois Central, in connection with the Vandalia. will put on next Sunday- night between St. Louis and Chicago, will leave each terminal at Dr. M. and arrive at 7:0 a. ii. The running time is fifteen minutes quicker thau that or any other line between the two points. The trains, which are to be known as the "'Diamond Specials," are among tho tiuest ever turned out at the Pullman works. The mechanical engineer of .the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road has perfected a plan for ventilating cars .which will keep them cool in summer And free from dust It is to be done by fans- operated, by electric power. It is proposed to equip the dining-carn. the parlor car and sleepingcoaches with this ventilator, which, it is claimed, will make the latter cool and comfortable on the hottest night and force all foul air from the car. The meeting of the special east-bonnd committee at Chicago, yesterday, which it was hoped would be able to settle the much vexed question of percentage division with the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa road, was entirely barren of results. After remaining in session several hours the committee adjourned to meet in New York Wednesday, Oct 28, in order to take joint action with the trunk lines in reference to divisions with Western roads via all gateways. In a decision promulgated yesterday by Chairman Fin ley. ho concludes that the practice of the Kansas City, St Joe& Council Bluffs road in transferring passengers and baggage free of charge at Leavenworth is a violation of tho Western Pusaenger agreement and orders it discontinued. If the order is obeyed by the road in question its business at Leavenworth will be practically ruined, as its station is on the east sulo of tho river nnd it can only compete with other lines at that point by absorbing the transfer charges. Chairman Finley claims to have detected the Chicago Sc Frio rond playing into tho hands of Chicago scalpers, and has notilied it that certain tickets of its issue will not be honored on roads in the Western Passenger Association. The tickets discovered by Mr. Finley are unlimited, the space in which the limit should be inserted being blank and they have the apreflrauoe of having been issued for scalping purpose. Similar tickets have been issued by other Eastern and Southern roads, and they havo aleo been warned by Chairman Finley. The railroad committee of Illinois has completed its assessment of roads in that State. The total value, as assessed by tho committee, is T4.G6.5-!o. an increase over last year's assessment of $1,013,157. Tho Wabash is assessed S.C'8 per mile; total. S5.oC0,4.'W.

Vice-president Levi P. Morton comes down lrom his palatial country place at Bhinebeck to his banking office 'in Nassau street about once week. There is nothing to take him there oftener. Morton. Bliss V Co. goes on whether the senior partner Is t intheoflica or not with the regularity of i clock-work, the key to its daily 'winding, I being that astute financier, Mr. Bliss. The senior of the firm is so quiet and unostentatious in his romiug and going that in the throng about Wall street, two blocks away, ho is literally lost to observation. This seeming obscurity is pleasant to the Vice-president He is distinctly and instinctively a family man, whose heart is bound up in his queenly wife and their live handsome daughters. His dread of Eublicity, parade and notoriety is one of is chief characteristics, but thero is no nllect.iticn or "nppishnKss" about him. He was seen one day where a boot-black was ticking up the. rcmaius of his kit. which i;td been knocked from his hand by a burly rough, and smashed under a passing wagon. Tho lad was making no sound, but great tears were steahug down bis cheeks, but gave way to smiles as ho had a silver dollar slipped into bi hand by the second official of tho Nut ion. It is by such episodes that the Vice-president is best known in New York. Vhn thauewsof the collapse of his Shoreham Hotel nt Washington was announced to him, his first question indicated his utter inditlerrnce to linancial loss as follows: "Was anybody killed or hurt?" To IHnptl Colds, Headaches and fevers, to cleanse the system etlectnally yet gently when eostivo or bilious, or when the blood is impure or sluggish, to permanently cure habitual constipatiou. to awaken the kidneys and liver to a healthy activity without irritating or weakening them, use Syrup of Figs.

AN ECCLESIASTICAL COURT

Evangelical Association Selects Men for Its Conlerence of Appeals. Bishops EBher and Howman Aain Sustained Want tbo World's Fair Closed Sunday -Missionary Work. The most important action of the Evangelical General Conference yesterday was the formation of the new court of appeals, to which all disputes must bo referred for adjudication. Shortly alter tho opening of the morning session Bishop W. Horn offered the following: Resolved, That the four bishops be a committee to nominate thirty candidates, from which fifteen shall b5 selected as an appellate court. Jot more than four candidates, however, shall betaken from auy one conference: and that the election of the lueinlers of paid board tako place immediately after the election of the Germany officers. This was adopted, and during the noon recess the bishop3 . met and made up their list,given in the ballot below. In the afternoon the list was presented to conference and tho ballot resulted thus: W. B. Wieand 43, Jesse Yeakel 78. M. PtitzingerC5, li. Veakel 72. J. Young 75. V. Brown 31. J. &tull W. A. Vnndersall 41. J. Umbach K, T. llauch 21, M. W. SteJly 53, D. S. Oaks 41. G. A.

Hettler, of the Michigan; II. E. Linse, of the Minnesota; J. Lerch. of the Illinois; F. Zimmerman, of the Wisconsin, and J. Kaullmaun, of the South Indiana conference, having received a majority of all tho votes cast.were declared elected. This leaves one member and the alternates yet to be elected. The thirteenth days' sessions wero again presided ovor by Bishop J. J. Eshcr. lie stated that bj bad earnestly requested one of the newly elected bishops to take the chair and preside over conference, but that they had with equal earnestness begticd to bo excused. Bev. E. Shultz of the Iowa Conference laid a proposition belore conference asking that an opportunity bo given the laity of the church between now and next General Conference to vote on the question of lay representation. It was referred to the committee on revision. MISSIONARY TOPICS. General Conference mado it the duty of every preacher in chargo of a field of labor to lift ft collection in every society for the benefit of the parent missionary treasury, and that tho corresponding secretary and the treasurer shall adopt suitable plans to mako this collection ns large as possible. Thecommittee on missions also recommonded that ministers in mission Holds who do not devote all their time and energies to the missionary work should not be supported out of the missionary funds m the same way as thoae who give ull their time and energies to tho work. But this item was referred back to the committee with instructions to so change it as to request annual conferences to be a little more cautious as to how they appropriato missionary moneys. GeuerafConforence adopted a strong resolution ofiered by Bishop W. lloru, retarding tho action of tho Sunday-schools that have, against the directions of General Conference, appropriated their children's day collections to the missionary society of annual conferences. These children's day collections have been a trroat success .in the church. They brought over fX)f000 into the missionary collcra during the past qtiadienniuin. The committee on missions recommended that from January next the Missionary Messenger should be published asa monthly supplement to tho Evangelical Messenger, and that a similar paper bo published in the German language as a monthly supplement to the Christlicho Botschafter. and that the corresponding secretary end the treasurer of the Missionary Society should be the editors of these supplements. This matter was referred to the board of publication. General Conference made somo important changes in boundaries. That portion of the rittsburg Conference lyiug in the titate of Ohio, and that portion lying in the State of Pennsylvania north of Alleghany river, was detached from that conlerence and attached to the Ohio Conference, and belongs to Cleveland district. Tho iStriugtown Society in Benton county, Iowa, wa& placed under tho chargo and control of the Iowa Conference. The missionary work of Japan was yesterday organized into a conlerence, making it the twenty-sixth of the evangelical family of conferences. In 1S75. when General Conference met in Philadelphia, Pa., it decided to take up Japan as missionary field. After the vote had been taken to that efiect the entire conference gave vent to its feelings by singing the grand old doxology, "Braise God from Whom 'All Blessings Flow," and now, after sixteen years of successful missionary work iu that Held, the work is lormed into an annual conference, and ugain, without any thought of-what took place sixteen years igo, the conferenco burst forth in the same anthem of praise. This work is to be pushed forward with increasing energy and diligence. A monthiy paper is to be published in Japau in the interest of the mission. It is also expected that the board of missions will, in the near future, appoint one or more missionaries lor Japan, additional to thoso already there. The Evangelical Association has, from her very beginning, been a missionary church. At the afternoon session Bev. J. Walz was re-elected publishing agent of the branch publishing-house at btuttgardt, Germauy, and Kev. Fuesely was re-elected editor ol the Kvan gelUcho Botschafter and bunday-school Literature publisued at the same place. The editor was instructed to give the Kvangolische Botschafter wore of a denominational tone. The book committee at btuttgardt and tho seminary committee at lientliuk'n consists of seven members four of the Germany and three of tho Switzerland Contereuce. To this committee has been added the visiting bishop, an member ex otlicio. . MSII0P3 SUSTAINED. A resolution was laid before conference and referred to tho committee on the state of the church, which ratified and con tinned all tho oHicial acts of Bishops J. J. Eshcr and Thomas Bowman, especially declaring that the appointment of ministers made in the years 1800 and 1VJ1 were the only legal appointments made, and that all appointments made by so-called conferences organized in opposition to the conference presided over by the Bishops, with everything they did or pretended to do, was utterly illegal, null and void. A recommendation was ottered by Bishop Bowman to the eiiect that the constitution o! the Missionary Society be so changed as to give it four instead of threo vice-presidents. This will make room for tho four bishops to be vice-presidents of tho board of missions. The following was 6ent to the commissioners of the World's Columbian Exposition: Greeting At the twentieth quaJrennl.il sessiou of the Ceireral Confers ne of the l-:vancell-cal Association, now in session in the city of Indiuuapotls, luii., representing upwards of 150.000 incuiiter. tho following resolutions were unanimously a lop to I and by order of tlte conference are forwarded to you.

The following action -was taken with reference to the board of missions: '"Hie board of missions, having failed to submit a record of its proceedings to this conference, which renders it impossible for us to'determme the character ot itsactionsduringthe last quadrennium, wo therefore declare tbo failure of the board to submit its proceedinffs to conference to be & violation of the constitution of the Missionary Society."

TUB DISABILITY LAW. The Mos Beneficial and Satisfactory Tension Act Ever Flaced en the Statute Hook. To tli Editor of tho IndlacsDOlls Jouixb After sixteen months' working under the act of Juno 27, 1S90. in results the country has an object lesson that 6bould be gratifying to the promoters of that most beneficent legislation. Itisgafoto say that no law on the subject of pensions has been so equitable in results and satisfactory to the great mass of soldiers and their true friends as this law at one timo denounced as the pauper bill." The law, plainly stated, grants u pensiou to auy one who was honorably discharged from the Union army after ninety days service if now found disabled on medical examination, and entitled to a rating of not less than 90 per month. And on the basis of this service the widows, minor children and dependent parents of deceased, soldiers are entitled to the pensiou to which the soldier would be entitled if living. ; The advantage of this law is that disabilities from which soldiers sutler or have died are not required to be connected with the military service It is only required that disability and death shall not have been the result of vicious life and habits. Under this law thousands of men who served faithfully all through the war and returned heme in apparent good health, but who. at forty years of ago found themselves old nnd broken down men, from causes they conld not explain, but merely surmise, havo been placed on the pension rolls at an average rating of 9 per month. These men were never able to prove a claim under any previous pension law. The law has brought help and contentment to many homes that were denied this help by the harsh requirements of previous legislation. The average first payment under this law has been $120, whereas average first payment nnder former laws was $4s3, from which it will bo seen that four persons can be pensioned under this new law at less rest to the government than it formerly cost to pension one person. Sinco tbo law has fairly beguu its work we hear little more of special acts of Congress in pension cases and service pension associations, and Grand Army committee!) designated to recommend legislation to Congress have found little to recommend that is not provided for in this act. And under it one disabled soldier is as good as another. It recognizes no rank, a feature of all former laws that never has been satisfactorily explained to the men who carried muskets. They all believed a private soldier's liver was as dear to him as a captain's, and that both used their lnnus for the same purposes. Booking over this law, to simple in its requirements and provisions, nnd contrasting the results of its enforcement with all preceding peusion legislation it is certainly trne that more desirable results have been achieved and objections obviated in this lawu than in all previous pension legislation combined. And. iu seeing this law and its splendid results, it is well to remember; that an Indiana soldier 1'residept j bad much to do with bringing itinto existence. In his inaugural he said: "Our pension Jaws should give more adequate and discriminating relief to the Union soldiers and sailers, and to their widows and orphans." And in bis lirat message to Cpngcej&h went'rigbt.to the . point on tb'e qnestion'iu this language: "The law now provides a pension for every soldier and sailor who was mustered into tbo United states army during the civil war, and is now suffering from wounds or disease having an oriain in the service and line of duty. Two of the three necessary facts, viz., muster and disability, are usually susceptible of easy proof, but the third, origin in the service, is often diflicult and in many deserving cases impossible toestablish. That very many of those who endured the hardships of our most bloody campaigns are now disabled from diseases that bad a real, but not tracable origin in the service, I do not doubt. Itesides these there is another class, composed of men many of whom served an eulistment of full threo years, and of re-enlisted veterans who added a fourth year of service, who escaped the casualties of battle and the assaults of disease, who were always ready for any detail and were in any battle of their command, and were mustered out in sound health, and since the close of the war, while fighting with the same indomitabio courge and spirit the coatests of civil life, been overcome by disease or casualty. I am nut unaware that the pcnsiou-roll already involves a very largo annual expenditure; neither am I deterred by this fact from recommending that Congress grant a pension to such honorably discharged soldiers or sttilors of the civil war as. having rendered substantial service during the war, are now dependent on their own labor for maintenance, and by diseaseor casualty are incapable of earning it. Many of tho men who would be included in this form of relief aro now dependent on public aid, nnd it does not, in my judgment, consist with national honor that they should continue to subsist on the local relief given indiscriminately to paupers, instead of upon the special and generous provisions of the Nation they served so gallantly and unselfishly." The recommendations of this message, it will bo seen, are substantially embodied in the act of Juno -J7, IK'O. And in using his high offico to promote this leaislation, the citizen soldiery of the country are certainly placed under obligations to the present executive, that could not be claimed by any of his predecessors. v. Indianapolis, Oct. 15. A Southern Tribute to Grant. Itirhrnoiid Piiiatch. Judge Gresbam's oration is entitled to this notice, if for no other reason, becauso it has no unkind words for the confederate soldier, whether a private or a general. There was a time when Geueral Grant was almost hated iu the South. But that day has passed. Tho Southern people, though not ready for the final verdict, are ready to rocoznize in him military genius who knew and busied himself about other matters thau civil affairs.
