Paymaster Shepherd, of the Wabash, yester
day paid on the Indianapolis division for June
service.
The Vandalia people now expect to have regu.
lar trains running as far as Lake Maxinkuckee
on the Logansport extension by Septembe. l.
The indianapolis Roliug-mill Companyis ship.
ping several hundred tons of rails to the Craw.
ford syndicate, to DO used in the extension OF
the Chicago G. Great Southern.
Under the new order of things, passenger con-
ductors now run through from Indianapolis To
Detroit, this now being the main line, and the
road between Peru ana Michigan City the
branch.
II mas the appearance of discriminating
against Indianapolis, when the Pennsylvania
Company advertise "A L cent rate per mile from
Klcnmonu LOgansport and other points on their
system TO the Louisville Exposition, and in the
same paner advertise cent per mile rate to
the encanPment now in progress at Indianap-
oils.
The Indiana, Bloomington & Western have
their live stock express trains on and are MAX
ing good time, getting IA few carloads of stock
daily for Eastern markets, and doing as well as
General Freight Agent Diehl expected they
would DO. Never before this week has the l.. b.
d w. given this class of through business any
attention.
1t Is limited that the Indianapolis, Eel River &
southwestern scheme Is not progressing as rap
idly as the friends OF the enterprise desire. The
railroad reporter OF the journal called al their
office 10 this city yesterday to learn something
about the matter, if possible. An officer of the
company locked the door on him, which, at least,
is bad OMEN
West-bound through business is again BOOM
ing The Decline, Chicago, st. Louis & Pittsburg,
aud Indiana, Bloomington e. Western are bring
ing $50 to 100 carloads of freight West daily,
and over the Chicago lines traffic west-bOund is
immense. On sunday last over the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne & Chicago road there was train
run In fifteen sections.
Since the matter of doing less work on the
Gahl Nafh daN- Ona hoo,
In large acquaintance with presidents general
managers and superintendents the journal re-
porter has NOT met the first one who did not ad-
INIT the present and prospective evil effects of
sunday labor, and in every case such officials
have expressed most earnest desire for re-
form In this direction.
The general rOadmaster of the Chicago & In
dianapOlis Airline tells Superintendent Mac
Leod. of the L., n A. & G. system, that by Sep
temher he will have the entire track between
Indianapolis surfaced up and In coed shane to
run trains over at any reasonable speed. The
management propose at the outset TO make the
rnn between the two cities in five aud One-half
hours.
1t is highly probable that within the next
thirty DAYS passenger and freight pool at this
point Will be effected between the Cincinnati,
indianapolis, st. Louis Il Chicago, and the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton people. The matter
has already progressed so far that there are only
a few minor detail matters to arrange, which will
likely he accomplished soon after President In
CALLS of the C., l., 81. l.. e. c.. returns from the
East.
An Indiana, Bloomington & Western freight
train of thirty loaded cars, hauled by of
the monster "consol" engines, yesterday block

CINE pulling out IA car draw-bar Manager Ma
lott, of the Union railway and Belt road, as soon
as possible, should make arrangements to relieve
the Union tracks o! the long freight trains of the
l., b. d W. The Vandalia, the l. IL ST. L., the Bee
line, the c., ST. l.. & P, and the c., L., ST l.. & G.
are all transferring their through business over
the Belt road, thus greatly relieving the Union
tracks.
