Miscellaneous Notes.

The Lehigh Valley management has just per
fected an arrangement for western outlet over
the Nickle- plate.
In the month of February the Pennsylvania
road proper handled 203, 43l tons of coal, an in
crease over 1883 of 7,971 tons.
The Baltimore & Ohio management show
more anxiety to protect the business men of
Baltimore than the pool interest, which is GER
tainly commendable
Plans have been prepared by the engineer of
the Lehigh Valley for new yard for the road
at Hoinellsville. There are to be nine tracks,
$500 feet in length each
Should the Northwestern roads, as probably
they WILL show less earnings i'll March this
year than in 1883. it should not be considered
really unfavorable, as at this time last year
these roads were doing an immense business.
The statement of the equipment of the BIichi-
gan Central road shows that there are at present
in use 120 passenger cars, forty-five baggage,
mail and express cars, five dining cars and suf-
ficient freight to swell the total to Il, 084
cars.
The sleeping cars which have been running on
the Chicago. Burlington Sc Quincy road between
Chicago and Denver have been replaced with
six new buffet sleeping cars, just completed at
the Pullman shop and containing all modern
improvements.
Railroad men of genius say that bridge across
the Mississippi at New Orleans is Il necessity,
and therefore it is only question of time until
it is erected. Since New Orleans has become the
terminus of an important branch Of the South
ern Pacific, the necessity of direct Eastern out
let is more evident.
The last yearly report of the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works. at Braddock, shows that the cost
of running the mills and furnaces for the past
year amounted to 81 100000 OF this sum, the
cost of running the furnaces alone amounted to
800 900. This shows that an average of $3.50 900
per month is distributed among the employees
At a conference last week, between a commit
tee of the Baltimore Exchange and the officers
of the Baltimore g. Ohio road, regarding the
question of differential rates, Mr.. Spencer, on
behalf of the Baltimore & Ohio company, gave
distinct assurances that the dierentials in favor
of Baltimore shall be maintained as against
Philadelphia and New York, from all points in
the West controlled by that company.

The Steamer Katie" Damaged By
Running Afoul an Obstruction near
PGrysburg.
The steamer Katie, commanded by
Capt. J. 5. Bevill, came down the river to
her wharf last night about $3.50 O'Clock,
when the report that she had run on
snag, and been detained at point about
four miles above Purysburg, was con-
firmed.
A reporter Of the MORNING NEWS WIS.,
tied the steamer on her arrival, and was
informed that the water in the river
at the point where she lay is quite low,
with a narrow channel Ilanked on one
side BY a sand bar and on the other by a
log. The Katie usually passes over the
log. but on account Of the low stage of
water was snagged by It about / O'Clock
yesterday morning. She had on board 10
passengers, 80 barrels Of spirits, 326
bales of cotton aud . packages
eggs, a coop Of poultry and some
other small freight. The accident caused
no alarm among the passengers. The
steamer Mary Fisher being near IA OF
them, together with the 90 barrels OF
spirits. were promptly transferred and
brought by her to the city.
About 100 bales of the cotton were then
thrown overheard in order to Tighten the
steamer and she was got OF the snag.
Her hull on the forward port side was
found TO have been pierced IN two places.
The breaks were temporarily repaired
and the water was pumped out. The
floating cotton was recovered and the
steamer resumed her trip to the
city. The damage is comparatively
trifing, and will be repaired to-day. As
the steamer will have to be inspected, it
was not known last night whether she
would be able to leave the city this after
noon to make her regular trip up the
river. The agent of the snagged steamer
said the Mary Fisher first got aground on
the sand bar, and the Katie, in towing
her off. ran on the sunken log on the other
side of the channel.
