AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS

Iron Rates in Central Traffic Association Territory to Be Advanced. Increase in East-Bound Shtom nls Over Chicago Lines Probitle Wheat-Kate War in the Northwestern States. A number of freight men met at the Board cf Trade room yesterday to revise rates on pig-iron and material coming under the same class from Indianapolis, Marion, Andersen and Kokomo to all points in tbe Central Tratlic Association territory. Usually the rates are advanced Nov. 1, as tates during the summer months are lower, but the matter has been allowed to drift alone at tbe summer rates until yesterday, when th? freight officials of the roads handling the business from the points met and reached an agreement to advance rates on iron and its class 10 cents per 100 pounds to points in the territory mentioned above. Wheat Kat War Impending;. It has been found necessary to postpone the conference which Chairman "Midgley announced to be held at St, Paul to-day to consider the decision of tbe Interstatecommerce Commission regarding wheat rates to Minneapolis and Dolath. Tbe transcontinental conference now going on at St Paul makes it inconvenient for some of the interested roads to respond to Mr. Midgley's call and another date will be fixed for the meeting. In tne meantime, however, tbe Soo lino has obeyed tbe order of the commission and reduced the rate on wheat from Dakota points to Minneapolis, making the required difference between this rate and the rate to Dulutb. Tbe other roads will probably sot follow this example until after a conference is held. It is gciisrally believed that the outcome of tbe matter will be similar to the Eau Claire lumber case, m -which the roads adopted the rates ordored -y tbe commission just long enough to prove their impracticability and then canceled them. In this case tbe Northern Pact tic cannot be compelled to make a lower rate to Minneapolis than to Dulutb, because by its lines the distano is the jama and tha other roads will claim the right to meet competition. Hear Decrease in Freight Trade. The extreme cold weather is eaid to be chiefly responsible for the lightness of the freight tratbc from the West to the East, aa compared with thehoavy movement one year ago. Whatever the cause the oflicial report show that the east-bound shipments of dead freight from Chicago last week by all the roads aggregated just C 6,407 tons, against TO.ToG lor the preceding week, a decrease of 13,229 tons, and against 105,386 for the corresponding period of last year, a decrease of W.0T) tone. The tonnage waa divided as follows: Flour. 5,85$ tons; grain and mill stalls, 2,040; provisions, lard, etc.. l947; dressed beef, 12.S5:; flaxseed. 2,837; bides, 2,220; 1 umber, 2,614; miscellaneous. According to the statement of the Central Traffic Association the shipments of flour, grain and provisions from Chicago to the seaboard last week amounted to 40, WK) tons, against 52,536 for the preceding week, a decrease of 12,147 ton a, and against 7(5,04 for tbe corresponding week of last year, a decrease of S.,605 tons. Of this tratlio tho Vanderbilt lines carried 34 per cent.; tho Pennsylvania lines, 21 percent; the BaltiN. more fc Ohio, 6; the Lie Four, 4; tbe Chicago & Erie, 5; tbe Chicago & Grand Trunk, 22 and the Wabash. 8. i . Doing Good Work. The monthly bulletin of R. F. Smith, superintendent of tbe Pennsylvania voluntary relief department west of Pittsbarg, for December, shows that there wore disbursed in death benefits during the month S12.5C0. Of this sara 3.00J was on deaths from accident and $4,509 on deaths from natural causes. In accident benefits 135.5 were disbursed; in sickness benefits, $3,202.60; total disbursements in the month of December. f26.8SS.C5.

Commencing Jan. 25 the Santa Fowill meet tho Southern Pacific cut rate of M cents on barley from California to Chicago. The Santa Fe makes the same rate to Chicago from St. Louis, Kansas and Colorado common points. The C. C. C. Sc St. L. earned in the first week in January $'.462, a decrease, ns compared with the corresponding week of 1JU2. of ?13.30i The Peoria c Eastern earned in the first wpk of January (26,M, a decrease this year of 1,925. Joseph Thwaites, brother-in-law of John Witty, tfeneral road master of the Union tracks and licit road, died at his home in Louisville yesterday. He was one of the oldest engineers, in thnoof service, on the Louisville & Nashville road. F. A, Sherrin, who has been actios engineer of maintenance of wav on the St. Louis division of tho Hig I oar during tbe illness of engineer Waite, to-day returns to tho general oifices at Cincinnati, and will obtain a leave of absence to visit Sew England a few days. Webb Hose, tho engineer killed in the wreck on the Dig Four at Wann. last Saturday, had run an engine on that division of tbe 1. fc St. L. since 1SC3. and had been in the service longer than any engineer on the road, except engineer Bennett, who runs between Mattoon and Indianapolis. Theodore Voorhis, who has been general superintendent of the New York Central Kailroad Company, has accepted tbe position of eeoond vice-president of the Heading Railroad Company at a yearly salary of 315,000. Mr. Voorhis will have control of tho traffic department of the Reading road. On Feb. 1 tbe position of superintendent of transportation on the Big Four, now held by J. E. Rose, will he abolished. The duties of the position, so far as the caraccoubting department is concerned, will be looked after by the chief car accountant, bnt who is to fill that place is not yet decided upon. Trains 17 and IS, known as the Southwestern limited, run over the Big Four between fit. Louis and New York, have now been on three years. Tbe first year they were run at a loss, tho second they only paid expenses, but the last year tbey paid very handsomely, building up a good business both east and west. General Freight Agent Parkhurst, of the Chicago it Southeastern, is in the city. He nays the road is, running its trains again with regularity, and could cars bo had, would be doing a very fair business. It is evident that, until this road gets more equipment, it will be up-hill work to show eatiBfactorv earnings. Chairman Porter, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, tells tbe dissatisfied holders of the common stock that they will receive no dividends for tho current year. In tho year ending June C0,t 1892, he expended $300,000 for betterments to the property, and this year he intends to expend even a larger amount in betterments. The gross earnings of tho Ohio & Mississippi for 1802 were 82.33,210 in excess of those of four years ago, while its net earnings were $76 less. The freight mileage of the road in Sl'2 was le6s, and tho passenger mileage nearly ten millions less, while the Eassenger and freight rates were enough lgber to make tho favorable cross-earning exhibit of lb9Z The Western Freight Association is looked upon as the strongest railroad association now in existence. It is estimated that tbe organization has saved the members 5,000,000 in the three yeare it has been in operation, being instrumental in preventing rate wars, which would have cost possibly as many millions more. It costs 850,00 J a year to run it. and no member has ever hinted a desire to withdraw from it. W. C. Irwin, who for many years was chief engineer of tbe Bee-lino, has accepted the position of consulting engineer of the Centra! Trust Company, of New York, in charge of their Western railway properties, with headquarters in Cleveland. Mr. Irwin, who left tbe Bee-line shortly after it beoame a port of the Big Four system, on account of poor health, has fully recovered, as a result of a trip across the water. The Lao Erie & Western road earned in the second week of January $57,838, against $65,461 in the corresponding week of 1S'J2: tbe Louisville, Evansville & St Louis 3 5,011, airainst 315.451 last year; the Evansville & Terre Haute f 21.507, against $19.0SS last year; tbe Evansville & Indianapolis 0.f:0G. against $3,779 last year; the Evansville & Richmond against $2,903 last ye:ir; the Peoria. Decatur & Evansville 10,801, against $14,797 last year. The Pennsylvania Company, to simplify its telegraphic, department, is at all important points abolishing outside telegraph otfices, consolidating them with the mam otlice at such points. At Indianapolis the telegraph otlice, which was located at the city freight deDot, under Colonel Ferry's supervision, and the telegraph office at the up-to wn ticket otlice, under the supervision of District Passenger Agent Bruner, have both been removed to the offices of F. O. Darlington, superintendent ot the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania linos, in tho Union Station. A ten years contract has been signed between the United States Express Company and the Reading railroad by which the United States Express will carry all express matter on the Reading road and leased lines. The United States company has been carrying the express business of the Reading for eevcral years, but has had only a yearly contract. The old contract also applied only to the Reading's own lines, bnt the now contract includes tho Lehigh Valley. The Adams Express Company has been transporting the business of the Lehik'h Valley and the loss of its businoss will be a severe blow to tho Adams company. The contract between the Reading and the United States Express Company is to' go into olfect on tho 1st of February. The old troubles of the Columbus fc Hocking Valley railroad were argued over again before Justice Ingraham in the Supreme Court of New York, in an action of thu road to recover the 8,000,000 Claimed to bavo been disposed of ny Stephenson Bnrko and his associates. The present action is primarily to recover the proceeds from Winslow, Lanier A- Co. Senator David B. Hill acted as one of the counsel for the road, and opened for the pluintilis. He told about Burke's and bis associate's scheme to buy up the road. They had no money to speak oi. but Winslow, Lanier fc Co. had loaned them S3.000.003 on notes and a little collateral. When they got the rosd the mortgage of $14.50J.00O was given to doulde and Hide-track the ruad and pay othr obligations. For these obligations $6,500,000 bad been ued, and the question is what has become of the $s,000,0u0. Senator Hill said none of it had been used to douole or aide-track the road.

DRUGGISTS PROTEST. They Take Action Against ratline Them on the Lud of Saloons Counter Move. About forty or fifty retail druggists of the city met in tho Board of Trade chamber yesterday afternoon for the purpose of protesting against tbe new liquor license bill now before the Legislature. C. W. Eichrodt was chosen chairman and T. R. Thornburgh aecrotary. The particular clause objected to in Hou3e bill No. 101 sets forth distinctly that it b!iI1 be unlawful for any persou, directly or indirectly, to 6eli or give away, for the purpose of gain, any epiritnous. vinous or malt liquors in a less quihtity thnn a gallon at a time without lirst procuring Horn the comminsioners of the county a license, just as saloon-keepers aro required to do. Under legislation of this character tbe drutittists sy that it would bo unlawful for them to sell a dose of quinine and whisky, or. in fact, fill a prescription of nuy description in which liquor or wine is called for among the ingredients. That a measure of this rigid sort is unjust, the drug men are convinced, and in order to even up matters all around thtr appointed a committee, with instructions to draft a sot of resolutions, demanding that legislation be enacted that all parties who sell whisUy in less quantities than a quart, to bs drunk on the premises, shall be compelled to pay a license fee of $1.0C0 per annum. Those appointed on the committee were: Messrs. C. W. Eichrodt. T. H. Thornburg, Hal Kidgeley nnd G. C. Fisher. 1'rrrention 1 Ilrtttr Than cure,, and those who are subject to rheumatism can prevent attacks by keeping the blood pure and free trom the acid which causes tho disease.

HE-POSSIBILITY SHIFTED

Judge Harper Overruled the Drmnrrer in Moon False Imprisonment Case. Entanglement Pus to a Clerical Blunder in the Johnson Connsy CcurtLijman Still in Charge Short Honeymoon .Notes. In tho suit of Charlotte Moon against James K. P. Mnsaleman, sheriff of Johnson county, and the officers and board of managers of the female reformatory for damages for false imprisonmtnt. Judge Harper yesterday overruled the demurrer of the defendants to the complaint, who alleged Insufhciencv of tho facts necessary toconstitute a cause of action. The argument upon demurrer was an attempt to shift responsibility for the falso imprisonment. Mussleman's attorney argued that he was not responsible because ho had no control over the institution in whioh the plaintift was contined. On behalf of the otlicers it w&s argued that they were not responsible for the acts sued on, because they were subordinate to and compelled to follow a line of action directed by the board of managers. Then to relieve the board of managers of the responsibility, it was again argued that not being present at tbe institution they were not responsible. The argument was not sufficient to satisfy the court, however, and the ruling was made as 6tated above. The suit is based on the confinement of Charlotte Moon in the penal department of tbe institution instead of the reformity department. She pleaded cuilty to assault and battery in the Johnson Circuit Court, and tbe commitment, by mistake, sont her to the wrong department, from wbicii she was subsequently released on a writ of habeas corpus. She immediately filed her suit for damages for false imprisonment, which has since been pending in the Superior Court. Another Hrif in Railroad Case. Yesterday afternoon, in tbe Supreme Court, the attorneys for the Big Four and 1'ennsylvania railroads tiled two voluminouadocumonts. They were the briefs answering those tiled by the State's attorney, a few days ago, in the railroad tax cases. Tho appellants' counsel have held that by tho act of March, lbOl, they ore deprived of equal protection against errors in tho original assessment of their property. and that they are denied a hearing before tho Board of Tax Commissioners. To these questions, they ear. the State has failed to make answer. They also assert that the various lines of the consolidated systems of railways were assessed by tbe board as a unit, thus embracing values outside the State. It is also held that the board discriminated against parts of the consolidated system extending into other States, thus plaoing a much higher taxation on such roads than those situated within the boundariesof the State. Layman Remain Receiver. The McGinnis assignment was again up in tho Circuit Court yesterday, and Judge Brown held that it was for the bost interest of the creditors that the business be continued, especially during the coming building season. On that portion of tho petition asking for the removal of James T. Layman as assignee, the court made no ruling, but expressed tbe utmost confidence in the business capacity and integrity of Ihe assignee, whoso removal had been asked for solely on the grounds of inexperience in the lumber business and in the operating of a planing-mill. Mnrrand ts. Pamplirey. John E. Morrand yesterday filed suit against Elizabeth Pnmphrey. He demands $500 for the forcible entry of his rooms on East Washington street, by the defendant during bis absence and tho rcmovat-Pf :a portion of his household goods. Morrand rents from Mrs. Pumphrey and there was a controversy between them as to tbe amount of rent to be paid. Short Iloneymoon. 1 ' On the 25th day of July, 1S90, Drucilla and Charles Washington were joined in matrimony. After less than ono month's marital infelicity Mrs. Washington left her husband because of the latter's infidelity. She tiled a complaint yesterday, asking that she be granted a divorce from him. I,Rt Fletcher & Shurpe Dividend. Deputy County Clerk Bala was kept busy nil day yesterday paying out to creditors the tinal dividend in the Fletcher & Sharpe assignment. There is 87,015.91 for distribution, making a dividend of per cent., which is the last that will be paid. Kirtran Sues Van Camp. Edward T.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM Something Peculiar to Stay tlio Least

An Event Which Has Puzzled the Doctors iNot a Little. The Occurrence Has Created a Great Deal of Comment The following remarkable account is from the man's own Hps. Mr. Amos li. Darter is well known in Indianapolis Ind., living ht 225 West Chesapeake street. lie says: "Ten years ago a pain came in my left foot and went all over me. I had such severe rain in my head that I could get no rest day or night. I called a doctor, he said 1 had rheumatism, but ho cculd not relieve me. "Then I went to taking patent medicines and bought everything I would see advertised for rheumatism, hut all failed to give me any relief. Then I called iu tho doctors; had live good ones treat me; but all failed to relieve me. I was taken down and sullered intense pain. My flesh got 6o sore that I could not hear my clothes to touch me. My left side got numb from my foot to my Jjead. I would feel a tingling In my side; in a second I would fall prostrated. "I could not sleep night or day only when under tho influence of morphine. I could not walk one squaro without resting. I would have to set my cane out first and step with my right foot and thou drag tho left foot up. "I gave un all hopes of cettlng well and quit taking any medicine except morphine. I would roll all night in bed and get up as tired in tho morning as if I had worked all night. "At last I found a euro iu Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Tho lirst two bottles drove all the pain out of my head. I took six bottles more. Now I can walk and I am free from pain. I thank God that I found this wonder! d remedy. If auy ono will call at my home I will tell all about my cure." There is no sullcrer from pa!n, whether of tho head or elsewhere in the system, who reads about this remarkable cure, will delay getting this wonderful medicine from the drug store. It certainly cares rheumatism, headache, backache, iu fact all kinds of pains. Mr. Darter's marvelous cure by It after many doctors failed even to afford relief, is proof of this, and ho may be seen or written to about his cure. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless, and is recommended by the doctors as tbe best remedy to take. It is. In fact, the prescription and discovery of a physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 West Fourteenth street, Xew York, the noted speoialiit in curing all forms of nervous andchronio diseases. Ho can be consulted free, personally or by letter. If you aro Buffering pain or ache or feel badly, use this remedy at onc. It will cure you. i 5V-A3.:. :.. MUX, Pub hi W- L, DOUCLAS S3 SHOE NOP.
