THREATENS TO SWITCH OFF

Chicago Grand Trunk Prcparim; to Leave tie Central Traflic Association. Chics that Ita Competitors Are Guilty or Irregular Practices Proposed Iridium Brancli of tho C, 11. & V. Road. A xaptaro in the Central Traffic Association is one of the probabilities of the near future. . The Chicago & Grand Trunk people have grown tired of losing business through the irregular practice? of compet-inlins,-and have reaolred upon a coarse of acticn that will no doubt precipitate a row;-To-day the road will repudiate the Chicago twitching tariff, and will notify ahipperi that it will hereaiter receive freight at all points without making any Charge for switching. This will be equivalent to very material redaction in rates. It is claimed by the Grand Trunk officials that other line bare been secarinq more than their share of business b7 secretly absorbing the switotinc charge, and they have determined to do openly what they Insist is being done clandestinely by their competitor. Moreover, there is reason to believe that tLis. action of the Chicago & Grand Trunk i simply preliminary to something more startling tuat is to follow. As early as Wednesday, perhaps, that company will male au announcement that is calculated to create genuine consternation among the roads in the Central Traill c Association. Just what this announcement will be is known only to the higher officials of the company, aud they are not ready to give it oat as yet. The supposition is that it will be no leas than a withdrawal of the Chicago Grand Trunk from the association. Electricity Will Supercede Steam. 'In the course of a few years the locomotive of to-day will be but rarely seen." said General Superintendent Collins, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, in speaking of inventor Edison's latest project in the electrio motor line. "The companies will be quick enough to take it np for their own ufc. as every one is alert for progression, aud will uladlv welcome anything cew and practical, as I think this motor is." Assistant General Manager Wood, of the Cbienwoitr Alton road, tboigbt the invention would revolutionize t rathe, bni th cost it would save vtould b neidi! to keep the road-Leds in repair. l he higher rate of pel nn rji;ine travels," he said, "the heavier and more lirni must the road bed be. The expenses of constantly attending to the road because of the ballast, rails and ties would abont eat up what could bo saved by lessening the running expenses. Mr. Edison has a great invention, and the railroads of the country will eventually take it nD. but 1 think it will be some time be for they do. '1 here are so many engines in nse. and they represent such an enormous expjditnre of money that railroad companies will cot be in too great baste to set them aside. Hut as the old ones wear out the new motors will take their place." The Way to 31ak a Road Topnlar. At all stations on the Southern Paciiic road one finds the following notice posted in a conspicuous place: "To agents and other employes: In dealing with the public, especially with our patrons, it is often necessary that you should observe much patience and self-restraint, always endeavorins to follow the dictation of good sense and prudence in order that yen may make the most favorable impression upon your patrons. Treat them as any other Rood bus! urea man would deal with his customer, with the view of making the road popular.

The o2c..tIs of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton road are disposed to look with favor on the building of a branch from some point on their line to the stone quarries in the vicinity of Laurel, 1ml. One line suggested is from Long wood to the Huston, fcecrist and other quarries, a distance of eight miles, but here the liig and the Little Williams creeks and the North and South Garrison creek would have to be bridged, which would be quite expeniv. while by rnniuns tho branch from (ieiiwood vi: Fayettevilie. then along ihe ridetothe ttoue quarries mentioned, do britlgr-4 nd be built, but the distance wcul.J hootiomile greater. It is stited in favor of the latter route that I ayetteville would Kive a, liberal donation. Not only Kahville and Connerdviile r.eed this stoue, but tae road could to jreat advantage renlacj its -wooden structures with stono vork. air. IIIll Will Sot Retire. George Bradbury, general manager of the Lake Erie fc Western road, and D. S. Hill, its general suporiuieacleut, deny the statement which was published in the Journal yesterday to tbe eflect that Mr. Hill was to retire aud to b) succeeded by George T. .larvi.

Too Chicago & Grand Trunk is having fcrtat success in running excursions to the big tunnel at fcrarnia. On Saturday tho company handled .VXXJ pissentrs and yesterCiy over four thousand. The Chicago Erie management is expending a l.irvo sum of money oa new crossties and reballastiug. and claim that they go Into the winter with ft road-bed across northern Indiana second to non. The shipments of coal and ore over the Pennsylvania lines, it is stated, were never much heavier. The manufactories are laying in their winter supply of coal, and tho iron-works their winter supply of ore. The annual report of President Newell, of the Lake Khore, shows that in its last fiscal year the road esrned prose, per mile, 814.437: net per mile, gJV'OS. 1 his is a tine exhibit when it is taken it; to consideration that this road hauls its bueinessat so low ti that it is not charged with being un

reasonable or extortionate. Th's remarkable showing is, of course, due to its immense tonnage. With tho taking effect of the winter tim t&'jle the Ualtimore & Ohio linra will shorten their time between New York and Italtimoro a halr-honr, and between New iork and Cincinnati one hoar and thirty minutes. Navigation will formally close on the lakes Nov. 1. After that date the grain movement will be diverted to the all-rail routes in quantities which will -tax the roads to their utmost capacity forhandling this class of traflic. L. W.

Citizens cf Omaha are urging tho committee appointed by the business men of that place to oiler every inducement possible to secure an extension of the Illinois Central to Omaha, and it is stated that tho directors look upon the scheme with some favor. Col. John 0Day. late general attorney of the St. Louis & ban Francisco railroad, who is being sued by that Toad to get possession of land purchased by O'Day for the company, and which, it is alleged, he rofuses to currender, denies in toto the charges. The first and second divisions of the N. P. & O. (Erie lines) have for some tituo past been under one superintendent and one set of train-dispatchers. The traffic is now so heavv over these divisions that it has been decided to appoint a new forco for the second division. The Norfolk & Western, which has been struggling for yoars to complete its line into Ohio, has sacoeeded in getting tho money to go ahead with the work, liy

Uec. 1 sixty miles of track of tho Ohio division will be completed, and before many weeks its trains will, it is stated, be running into Columbus. An official of the Chicago & Northwestern says that the October earnings will be the largest of auy month's earnings in the history of the road. He says a few years ago the directors hailed with delight earnings of Sl.000,000 a month, afterward &7.000.000; in September they reached S3,C00,0O0, and October will exceed that. A mechanic of the Pennsylvania Company is trying to deviso a plan by which the hand brakes on a vestibule train can be put in readiness for action quicker than now and be handled with less trouble. Under the present arrangement when the air brake fails and hand brakes aro called tor, much troublo is experienced in nuttins on the brakes. The Fcrr Wayne div?siorr of the Lake Erie &. Western has been put in excellent condition lor winter. Every foot of the rosd from Fort Wayne to Conncrsvilleis now laid with Htecl rail. The power of tho road has been rebuilt and the passenger equipments painted and reuphoistercd. and the road as an entirety has improved .ro per cent, sinco tho L.E. &, W. took control of it. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western now has nearly nine hundred miles of main-line track. Ita earnings for tho year nidiug June 10, as just published, aro shown to have been $40,CS8,W3; net earnings, ,lg8.7SG. These large earnings are made chiefly from its immense freight and coal traffic, although of late years itj passenger earnings have been steadily increasing. Thomas F. Oakes. president of the Northern Pacific road, began railroad servicMu June. Ib63, as cleric for a railroad contractor: his first official position was that of purchasingiagent of the Kansas Pacific road. After reaching that position his promotions came rapidly until he reached the vice-presidency and general managership of the N. P. road, and latr became its president. A rumor is current that General 'Dodge, formerly president of tho Denver fc Fort Worth read, is to bo made president of the tho Union l aciao system. The story cannot bo traced to any authentic source. Should it prove to be true there is not much doubt that the management of tho road will bo placed in the hands of A. 13. Meek, who made n great reputation as general manager of tho Denver & Fort Worth. East-bound shipments of freight from Chicago for last week amounted to 57,572 tons, against "A51G tons for the preceding wtek. and GS.C37 tons for the same period last year. Lake shipments amounted to C.VJ43 tors, a falling off of 17,4. tons as compared with the week previous. Through shipments of flour, grain and provisions from Chicago to the sea-board by the lines in tho Central Traffic Association aggregated for tho week, torjs, against for the preceding week, au increase of 1.M3 tons, and against C0.9G7 for tho corresponding week of 1S90, a decrease of y)19 tons. The Vanaerbilt lines carried CO per ceut. of tho business, the Chicago &. Grand Trunk IS, and tho P. fc 0. 10 per cent President Fish, cf tho Illinois Central, doon not take- kindly to the recommendation of tho special transportation committer that his company elevate its Chicago tracua portion cf the distance to the world's fair grounds, as a partiaj solution cl the problem of how to handlo the great crowds of passongers during the exposition. Mr. Fish and his assistant. John Dunn, said yesterday: "The problem of tlcvatintr the tracks is no nearer solution than it was months ago. Nothing dennito has been decided upou. To construct tho necessary embankments and eievato eight cts of track wonld be n monster undertaking, and must be approached with duo consideration." The world's fair people liavo about dcsp.wrod of obtaining any concessions fiom the Illinois Central. The Peoiia & Eastern has found a friend in the I'oston Advertiser, which in its issue of Saturday says: "Pcona & Eastern income will bear close watching and there is likely to be another movement in them the coming reek. This timo it will he based upon the improved earnings of the company. The Peoria Ji: Eastern showed n marked change for the month of August as compared with last year. The deficit in meeting the rentals and fixed charge. last year waa S2.1.042. an average of about gl,GC0 a month. Tho increase in tho gros for August v?as 50 ptr cent, Tho net was thret times as greut, while interest and rcnta's were a little la.ie. The net result wa4 a surplus of .t.S0G instead ot a deficit of -TVI'). It is claimed that if this ratio is maintained it will be possible in year or two to reimburse the Big Four for its advances, as this would add largely to the other income of that company.''

OLD EGYPT'S GREAT RIVER !

i Dr. Taliaajro Treats Ilis CcnsrecMlioii to a Talk of Travel and Incident. j The Nile r.nd Its Two Principal Source Alexandria at Its Wide Delta Memphis and Thebes in Their Ancient Magnificence. Brooklyn Special, Oct. 3. Dr. Talmage -this morning preached on "Sailing Up tho Nilo," tho second sermon of th series, entitled "From the Pyramids to tho Acropolis, or What I Saw in Egypt and Greece Confirmatory of the Scriptures." His text was Ezekiel xxix, 0: "The river is made and I have made It." Aha! This is tho river Nile. A brown, or yellow, or silver cord on which are bung more jewels of thrilling interest than on any river that was ever twisted in the sunshine. To find the birthplace of this river was the fascination and defeat of expeditions without number. But tho work went onjuntil Speke, and Grant, ai d Baker found the t wo lakes which aro the eonrco of what was called the White Nile, and baptized these two lakes with the names of Victoria and Albert But from Abyssinia there comes what is called the Blue Nile, which, though dry or nearly dry half the year, under tremendous rains about the middle of Jnne risen to great momentum, and this Bluo Nile dashes with Budden influx into the White Nile, which in consequence rises thirty feet Their combined waters inundate Egypt with a rich eoil, which drops on all the lieMs ani gardens as it is conducted by ditches, and sluices, and canals every whither. The greatest damage that over came to Egvpt came bv the drying up of tho river Nilo, and tho greatest blessing by its healthful and nbundant flow.. Tho faraino in Joseph's time came from the lack of sufficient inundation from the Nile. ( Not enough Nile is drought, toomuoh Nile is freshet and plague. The rivers of the earth are the mothers of its prosperity. If by some convulsion of nature the Mississippi should be taken from North America, or tho Amazon from South America, or the Danube fiom Europe, or tho Ycnesei from Asia what hemispheric calamity! Still there are other rivers that could fertilizo and save these countries.' Our own continent is gulched, is ribboned, is glorified by Enumerable water-courses. But Egypt has only one great river, and that is harnessed to drawall the prosperities of realms in acreage semi-infinite. What happeus to tho Nile happens to Egyt. ISAIAH'S ntOFIICCY FULFILLED. As wo start where the Nilo empties into the Mediterranean sea we behold a wonderful fulfillment of prophecy. The Nile, in very ancient times, used to have seven mouths. As the great river approaclied the sea it entered tho sea at seven different places. Isaiah prophesied: "The Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea, and shall smite it in the seven streams." The fact is they are all destroyed but two, and Herodotus said these two remaining are artificial. Up the Nile we shall go; part ot tho way ly Egyptian rail train, and then by boat, and we shall understand why the Bible gives such prominence toth:s river, which is the largest river of all the earth, with one exception. But before we board the train we must take a look at Alexandria. It was founded by Alexander the Great, and was once the New lork, tho Pans, tho London of tho woild. Temples. palaces, fountains, gardens, pillared and ellloreecent with nil architectural and Edenio grandeur and sweetness. Apollos, the eloquent, whom, in New Testament timed, some, people tried to make a rival to Paul, lived here. Hero Mark, the author of the second book of the New Testament, expired under Nero's anathema. From here the ship sailed that left Paul and the crew struggling iu the breakers of theMelita. In this city was tho greatest femalo lecturer the world ever daw lljpatia. But tho lessons of virtuo that she taught wero obnoxious, and so they dragged her through tho streets and scraped her flesh from her bones with sharp oyster-shells and then bnrned the fragment cf the massacred body. And here dwelt Cleopatra, pronounced to bo the beauty of all time although, if her pictures are correct, 1 have seen a thousand women in Brooklyn more attractive and she was as had as the was said to bo handsome. Queen, conqueress and spoke seven languages, although it would have been better for the world if she had not been able to speak any. Julius Caesar conquered the world, yet she conquered Julius Crcsar. But Alexandria, fascinating for this or that thing, accorning to tbd taste of tho visitor, was to mo most entertaining because it had been the site of the greatest library the world evor saw, considering the fact that the art of Drinting had not been invented. Seven hundred thousand vol umes and all the work of a slow pen. Built again a;ui destroyed og;iic. Bnilt ngain. but the 4.000 Arabs camo along for its final demolition and the 4,000 br.ths cf the city wero heated with those volumes, the fuel lasting six months, aud wero ever lires kindled at such fearful coatf SIGHTS FROM AN EGYPTIATS' TRAIN. Bat all oboard tho Egyptian rail train going up tho banks of the Nile. Look out of tho window and see thoso camels kneeling for the imposition of their load. Wo meet processions of men and beasts on tho way from their day's work, but alas, for the homes to which the poor inhabitants are going. For tho most part hovels of mud. But tbero is Kouiething in the cene that thoroughly enlists us. It is the novelty of wretchedness, and a Bcene of picturesque rags. For thousands of years this land has been under a very damnation of taxes. Nothing but Christian civ ilizatian will roll back the influences which aro "spoiling the Egyptians." There arogaidenoand palaces, but they belong to tho rulers. About heie, tinder tho valiant Murad Bey the Mamelukes, who are the finest horsemen iu all tho world, came like a hurricane upon Napoleon's army, but they were beaten back by the French in one of the licrcest battles cf all time. Then the Mamelukes turned thtir horses' beads the other way. and in desperation backed them against too i reach troops, hoping tho horses would kick tho life out of tho French regiments. The Mamelukes, failing again, plunged into this Nile and were drowned. It was Thanksgiving-day morning. Nov. 23. that, with my family and frienda. we stopped aboard the steamer on tho Nile. The Mohammedan call to prayers had been sounded by the priests of that religion, the Muezzins, from the four hundred mosqnes cf Cairo, as tho cry went out: "(jiod is great. I bear witness that there is no God but tied. 1 bear witness that MoLammed is tho apcstle of God. Come to prayers. Come to salvation. God is great There is no other but God. Prayers are better than sleep' It was not much of a craft that vro bosrded. It wcuid not be hailed en any of our rivers with any rapture of admiration. It fortunately hod but little speed, for twiro we ran aginund, and tho trailers jumped into tho water and on their shoulders pushed her out. As we slowly move up tho majestic river I se on each bank tho wheels, the pumps, the buckets for irrigation, and pea a man withJiU fcot oil tho treadlo cf a wheel that fetches up the water for a garden, and then for the first time I understand that passage in Deuteronomy: '"The land whither thou goest in to possess it is not as the land of Egypt, from whenco ye came out. where thou sowedst thy seed, aud wateredst it with thy foot' NO CHANGi: 5INCH UinLE TIMES. Whilo sailing on this river or stopping at one of the villages, we see people on the banks wto verify the Biblo description, for they are now as they were in Biblo times. Shoes are now taken oil in reverence to sacred places. Children carried astride the mother s shoulder as in Hagar's time. Women with profusion of jewelry as when Kebecca was athanccd. Lentils shelled into the pottage, as when Esau sold his birthright to get such a dish. Tho same habits of salutation as when Joseph and his trethieu fell on each other's necks. Courts of Jaw held under big trees as in olden times. People making bricks without straw, compelled by circumstances to use stubble instead of straw. Flying over or standing on the banks, as in Scripture days, aro flamingoes, otpreys.

eigie pelicans, herons, cuckocfc and bullfinches. On ail sides of this river aepulcures. Villages of sepulchres. Cities of hcpulchres. Nations of sepulchres. And one is tempted to call it anempireo! tombs. Hero we disembark a little while for Memphis, off from the Nilo to the right Memphis, founded by tho first Kin: of Egypt and for a long whilo tho capital. Here stood the Temple of the Sun, itself in brilliancy a sun. shone on by another sun. Memphis in power over a thousand ono hundred years, or nearly ten times as long as the United States have existed. But back to the Nile and on and up till you reach Thebes, in Scriptures called tho City of No. Hundred-gated Thebes. A quadransular city four miles from limit to limit. Four great teniple. two of thcra Karnac and Luxor, once mountains of exquisite eculotureand gorgeous dreams solidified m stone. The dead cities strung along the Nile not only demolish infidelity, but thunder down the absurdity of tho modern doctrine of evolution, which -ays the world started with nothing and then rose, and human naturo began with nothing and evolved into splendid manhcod and womanhood of itself. Nay, the sculpture of the world was more wonderlul in the days of Memphis, and Thebes, and Carthage than in the days of Boston and New Yrk. They have ovolnted from magnificence into destruction. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only elevation of individual, social and national character. Let all the living cities know that pomp, and onnlenco and temporal prosperity are no security. Those ancient cities lacked nothing but good morals. 1 notice the voico of those ancient cities is hoarse from the exposure of forty centuries, and they acrentuato slowly with lir9 that were palsied for oges. but altogether thoso cities along tho Nile intone these words: "Hear us, for we are very old, and it is very bard to speak. Wo were wise long before Athens learned her first lesson. We sailed our ships while yet navigation was unborn. "Wo sinned and we fell. Our learning could not save us see those half-obliterated hieroglyphics on yonder wall. Our architecture could not save us see the painted columns of Philso and the shattered temple of Esneh. Our heroes could not save us witness Menes. Dlodorous, Barneses and Ptolemy. Our gods Ammon and Osiris could not eato ns see their fallen tomples nil along the four thousand miles of Nile. Oh, ye modern cities, get some other God; a God who can help, a God who can pardon, a God who san save. Called up as we are for a little while to give testimony, again tno sands of tho desert will bury us. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust!'' And as these voices of porphyry and cratiito ceased all the sarcophagi under the hills responded, "Ashes to ashef!" And tl.e capital of a lofty column fell, grinding itself to powder among the rocks, and responding. "Dust to dust'.'

Good Done by tVomnn's Clubs. . Pittsburg Dispatch. Tho club is teaclrng women much not the least of the lessons aro those of promptness and brevity. And bv way of suRgestion to clubs started, o? about to be started in small communities, it is an excellent idea to net some of the larger, well-established clubs to send on their papers for a reading. There is iu a Jersey suburb of New York such a club, called the Sparrow, which leeds upon these metropolitan crumbs rich enough feasting it is too until the infant club is able to set out its own banquet.
