Mention made few days since that there
was a little friction among the officials of the
Indianapolis & St. Louis road A railroad man
who Ia well posted with the affairs Of the road
states that the officials located at st. Louis who
crowded @. C. Gale out. have turned their bat
teries on Superintendent Burrows but he ex-
presses the opinion that they will not be so eff
fective this time
Two years ago the Indianapolis Roling-mill
Company held nearly 100000 of bonds of rail-
Coad companies, accepted IN pay for rails, some
Of which have been looked upon as of little
value but by watching matters closely these
bonds have been disposed OF to advantage, and
the only doubtful creditor the company now
Aas is the Illinois Midland, they holding some
S25,OOO OF the receivers certificates.
The management of the Cincinnati. Hamilton
d Dayton lines express determination to see
what there Is in the Indianapolis division, and
are putting the rOad-bed and equipments in
shape so to do. Last week steel rails were dis
tributed between Liberty and Brownsville to
take the place of the present iron rails, and the
work is to be pushed until the
whole division is laid with steel. Four consol
ment, two already being in service. and two
passenger engines will be added soon. Several
fifty fiat cars have also been added to the roll
livestock recently and from this on, official of
the road says, their policy is to be aggressive.
NJ. E. ingalls,. president of the Cincinnati, In
dianapolis, st. Louis & Chicago road, Saturday
aast remarked that the easiest way to quiet this
talk of leasing lines that they were dis
rriminated against at the Union Depot, was to
arrange offices separately at the Union Depot
as information bureaus in which shall be
representative of each road In the present
Uni on Depot three offices would be necessarily
rather limited affairs, but in the depot
ample room for such offices could be arranged.
With such an arrangement all competing roads
would be placed on par and the travelling pub
lie could get anv information they might desire,
select their route, and then go to the ticket office
Offices and information bureaus could be oper
ated separately better than jointly.
