Local Notes.

The Vandalia last week brought in to this sta
ton 163 carloads OF live stock, the Indianapolis
g. st. Louis 112 carloads.
The exchange of ground between the Bee-line
and Wabash roads gives the Bee-line room to put
in additional track in their city yards, to hold
$50 cars.
The friends of Wabash predict marked de-
crease of expenses, as a consequence of the re-
cent reorganization, and the Gould people are
very bullish the stock
The report that the Wabash repair shops are
to he removed from Peoria is denied. The cut
ting down of the force for the present had neces-
STATED the sending away lately of several en-
gnes to other shops, and this gave rise to such a
rum0r.
The Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg yesterday
commenced using their double track between
Richmond and New Paris Trains of the c., St.

ria division. 252; Cincinnati, Indianapolis &

resorts is heavy. Indianapolis parties ex-
periencing good deal of trouble in getting
sleepIng accommodation. so little effort does
the Pullman. company make to accommodate
travel from this point.
The Vandalia people had not intended to put
on regular trains between Logansport and Lake
Maxinkuckee before August l. but pleasure
seekers are urging so strongly that at least one
train aday be run each way that probably Col.
Hill will arrange 10 put on one.
The new engines of the Chicago, ST. Louis &
Pittsburg road have begun to arrive. Last week
two powerful freight engines and one heavy pas
senger engine were received. The freight en-
gines will be run between Bradford and Column

the northwest show the he true there
Last week there were but thirteen mills in ope-
ration at Minneapolis producing daily average
of less than 1900 barrels Of flour; whereas IA
week before the daily average was L., 500 bar
