Miscellaneous Notes.

The Massachusetts Central was turned over to
the trustees last Saturday, the Boston & Lowell
road agreeing to operate it.
During the month OF April 1855 loaded freight
cars passed East through the Hoosao Tunnel,
as against 4,472 for the corresponding month in
1882.
The Public makes the point that the inability
of speculating railroad managers to unload their
stocks may avert war of rates, and there is
quite as much force as there ought TO Oe IN the
observation.
The annual meeting OF stockholders of the
Houston IL Texas Central railroad took place
yesterday. Nearly all the stock was represented,
and the vote was unanimous for the reelection
of the old board Of directors.
The Mobile g. Alabama Grand Trunk railroad
was hought at foreclosure sale for S350,000 by
George Arentz Edward r. Bacon and p. d.
Barker. of New York. and ID. 8. Parker, of Mo-
bile purchasing trustees for the bondholders.
The rnmor is again current that the Chicago.
burlington Quincy road are buying stock OF
tine Lake Erie Western road, and propose 10
build connecting link and make 1t their East
ailoat to bull the stock of the l.. L. & W.
The restoration of the fast train between Den
yer and Kansas City, on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, will be followed by faster service on
the Union Pacific and Burlington routes There
Is no objection to this for better time could be
made on nearly all of the Western lines, without
inconvenience to the companies ami with I'M
mense advantage to the people.
The new train placed on the Boston & Al
bany road on Sunday, which is to be known rs the
fast New York special, makes thejournsy of 27S
miles in six minutes less than six hours, at the
rate of over forty-six miles an hour. Heretofore
the fastest regular time made between New York
and Boston, or between Boston & New York, has
been six hours. 1t made but SIX stops during
the entire journey.
The New York Post says that statements pur-
porting to give the terms or combination between
the East Tennessee and other roads are without
official foundation, No basis has yet been agreed
upon, and the primary objects OF the inventory
of East Tennessee and other railroads and MT.

STATE SOCIAL SCIENCE.
Annual Meeting of the AssociatiOn-Ad-
dresses by Governor Porter, Rev. n,
A, Hyde and Others.

The session of the Indiana State Social Sci
ence Association opened last night and will con-
tinue to morrow. The meetings are held In the
First Presbyterian Church, and all friends of
social order and reform cordially invited to
attend the meetings, and the admittance is free.
The session last evening opened with an address
by Governor A. q. Porter, who stated that he
had come with no prepared remarks, having
just returned from tour the object of which
was the locating of hospitals for the insane-the
founding OF suitable homes for a class of unfor-
Inmates many of whom are now slowed away in
poor-houses. He noticed that the Social Science
Association had at times discussed great vari-
ETY. of topios-that even the tariff and savings
banks had received the attention of the associa
ton. He believed that tho habit Of saving
should be encouraged that the habit of saving
small sums, among children and working
people, would do for temper
ance than could be done in any other
way. 1t is the best safeguard against
vice and 1t is, the Governor said, the greatest
m sfortune of the State that we have no sound
savings-bank system for poor men and women
and children to save money against the evil
times that cure to come every fifteen or eight
cen years. He thought that something might
be done in the way of affordinG a safe investment
bonds were issued in small amounts to represent
these savings. The Governor also spoke at some
length of the foolishness and waste that often
attended private benefactions, and wished that
some wise man would write "a book as to the best
means to take care of them. He hoped that this
prolific and eXhaustless subject will fOrm the
theme for an evenings discussion,
Following The Governors address was an ad-
dress from Rev. N A. Hyde, president of the
association, who called to mind that last nights
meeting was the filth anniversary OF the fOrma-
ton of the association, which at first was devoted
to local charity and local work, but now occu-
pied broader field, and was always moving and
urging practical methods of reform for the i'm
prOvemert of humanity.
Mr.. e. W. Ha.ford read paper OF 'The Social
Aspect of the Newspaper" showing what the
press had been, what it Is and what il will be as
q civiliZng force.
The paper was then discussed, Mr. p. D, Ham
mOnd leading in the discussion.
The programme for to-day Is as follows

RELIEF WORK CONTINUED.
What the Board of Trade Committee Are
Doing with the Funds on Hand.

The Indianapolis Board OF Trade Relief Com
mittee has not yet finally closed its work, and
it is now four months since 1t began its oharita-
BILE labOrs. During the last ak weeks Mr.. W. P,
Gallup and Mr.. Horace s. Watson have been al
most constantly employed making investiga-
ttons in cases where applications have been re-
eeived from persons along the Ohio river for aid.
People VINO were not damaged in the least by
the food have endeavOred 20 obtain financial aid
from the committee and careful discrimination
has been required in the distribution OF the fund.
In one instance q man in the most deplorable cir
cumstances applied for money to lquldate a
mortgage on his home, and his Reighbors strong
ly urged his petition, but the committee,
In Justice to their trust, refused
assistance. as his mlsjortunes had not resulted
from the flood, although 1t was a charity -deserv-
ing case. The committee ars still In daily re-
CENT OF letters from people claiming to be Hood
sufferers, aud some of the appeals for aid are of
IA nature to stir the charity OF any person st all
susceptible but the Investigations show that they
nearly all come from undeserFing persons.
About three weeks ago letter was received
from Madison, stating that several hundred per-
sons In that vicinity were in the greatest dis
by The relief committees A remittance of
$4,000 was asked Messrs Gallup and Watson
went to Madison, and In their Investigations
failed TO tlnd that there was any suffering des-
Tuition resulting from the flood. The work of
the committee WILL probably be inally closed
this week, and detailed statement OF their la
bOrs will then be given the public.

Efforts Making to Establish an indianapolis
North Bound Pool.
A movement is foot to establish q north
bound pool at this point A general freight
agent remarked yesterday that never before
were north. bound rates 80 demoralized as at the
present time, it not being unueual for an
agent here to cut rates 25 to 80 per cent. to Sc
cure business. For instance, the rate on lard
from Indianapolis to Chicago is 10 cents per 100
pounds, and last week 1t was carried at cents
per 100 pounds. The fact is that while there are
but three roads which are at present entitled
TO be called Chicago lines out of here,
there are seven fighting for the
business, namely, the Chicago, st. Louis,
& PIttsburR, the Cincinnati, indianapolis, st.
Louis & Chicago, the Indiana, Blooming &
Western, the WaDash, the Vandalia. the In
dlanapolis & st. Louis, the Chicago 4 IndiaDRp-
oils Air Line. Three roads reach Chicago over
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois; one, the l., b.
& W. via Danville, the others, the 1. & ST. l..
and Vandalia connecting at Terre Haute. While
In pooling agreement the two last named
could not come in, vet without one they dabbie
in the business if offered to them. The establish
ment of a north-bound pool need not create any
alarm with shippets that rates are to be
advanced, the only object being that agreed
rates shall be protected, even If lower than
present rates.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1883-05-08

From the East, the North and the West come
complaints that the Toledo, Cincinnati & st.
Louis road is Strengthening rates numerically,
and has taken in as partners the Lake Erie &
Western and The Chicago & Alton roads. When
the road was built il was understood that 1t was
built more to do local business than as a through
line, yet at the very onset the management ell
ters the field for through business to the neglect
of their local traffic. Railroad men of expe-
Renee who are lockers on express surprise that
while the road is short of engines and cars to
handle their local business they should ignore
that and take hand IN through business, from
which much less revenue is derived. AS the
road Is narrOw-gauge and is An experiment in
this section, great caution should be exercised
that serious mistakes are not made,

GENERAL NEWS.

Another Friend to Pools-HarmoDy of the
Trunk Lines in Jeopardy.
The editor of the railroad paper bearing
the title of the Railway Passenger Agent"
comes out strongly in favor of passenger as well
as freight pools. He says; "while the revenue
derived from freight earnings is 40 largely in ex-
oess OF that derived from passenger earnings
that, at first sight, it would seem as II the com
Dletion of the freight pool should receive the
first consideration, there exists snch close re-
lationship between both branches OF the service,
as affecting the general standiDgOf competing
lines with one another, that neither service can
have prominence over the other in considering
the permanent formation of a pool. For this
reason II would seem to be extremely nnfortu-
nate that Mr.. Fink is unable TO give special and
particular attention to the passenger pool until
II Is able stand alone. at present IL is still In
its swadding clothes, and 1t will need the most
careful nursing to place it properly upon its
feat
