The Talmage Management.

Said an old railroad official, yesterday, when
commenting on the complimentary remarks re-
Gently made in the journal on his management
Of the Wabash system: Yes, if they will let
the fellow alone. in two years he will have the
Wabash system way out of the mire. Do you
notice, said he, "that there are to-day twenty
two less general officers on the system than when
he took hold, a few months since, Of course L
include assistant general passenger agents, and
assistant general freight agents, master me-
chanics, etc, in the twenty-five offices dropped.
To be sure ne has consolidated official positions
to effect such a change, yet it has been done
without the least impairing the operations of the
road. The fact is, it is really a benefit to the
property, as a portion of the money
paid formerly to officials is now ex-
pended in the maintenance of the property
physically. Manager Talmase's first move was to
add one man to each section. and now there is
road in the system. His next move was to in
shops on the system. and as a result
to-day the physical condition of the main line is
so per cent. better than one year ago, and the
equipment is rapidly being put into number one
condition. In riding over the main line last
week, the old railroadersai Twas greatly sur
prised at the Improvement in the track" He
then added: 'Talmages best forte is his popular
ity with the employees. He even seems to court
their friendship more than that of his subordi-
nate officials, although he fully commands the
respect of the latter. All that's needed is to let
him alone and the Wabash will come out all

Our Railroad Indebtedness.

The amount of railroad mortgages maturing
in 1885 is $38, 100, 291, in 1886, &c. $4,000 liz 1887,
SIG, 063, 900; in 1888; 500, All, $50. The outstand-
ing mortgages of the railroads of the United
States Jan. l, 1884, were estimated at 1886,
O4O,363, averaging, it is thought, some 81 per
cent. interest, while the average rate on En-
glish debentures is not over 4! per cent The
Boston Herald says this high rate of interest
will DO a great obstacle to dividends on railroad
stock for many years to come, as some of the
high-interest- bearing mortgages are of recent
date and have many years to run. The tendency
in issuing new mortgages is toward a lower rate
high for a new mortgage where a road has any

Tightening the Pool Grip.

An important meeting was held yesterday
afternoon at the Office of Commissioner Doherty,
of the indianapolis east-bound pool. The c..
L., st. L. 6 G. road was represented by w. G.
Hobbs, the Decline by A. S.. White, the Wabash
by John Walker, the l., B. & W. by Ford
Woods, the L., N. A. 6 c. by George Brecount,
the c., H. & l. by H. f. Stiles, the c.,
St L. & P. by j. A.. Perkins. The question
of weighing cars, which has hung fire for several
months, was freely discussed, and on the recon-
mendation of Commissioner Doherty, a resolu-
ton was unanimously passed to begin weighing
all cars loaded with east. bound freights original
ing here or at points west, north or south tribu-
tary to the indianapolis pool, beginning with
Thursday next, roads which have no car scales
to use those of roads that have until they can
put in scales. Unquestionably some roads have,
in times past, cut rates as deeply by underbill-
ing as by any method devised, and this will eff
fectually put a stop to such a dishon-
orable practice. Some Irregularities in
rate matters were brought up by
Commissioner Doherty, which investigation
showed was not intended as crookedness on the
part Of the agents, but a misunderstanding of
pool rulings. 1t is quite evident that Commits
sioner Fink, in selecting Mr.. Doherty as com
missioner of the indianapolis oast-bound pool,
has chosen a man who will carry out his ideas to
the letter, as it is admitted by freight men that
not for years have rates been so firm and all
leaks stopped as at the present time.

A Blow Aimed at the scaTpers,

Under the lead of the New York Central Rail
road Company the railroads out of New York
recently began the Issue of continuous trip tick
cts only to the West. This is in one sense a blow
aimed at the ticket-brokers, as it prevents the
~scalping process by not allowing passengers to
stop over and obtain rebate. In another way it
is thought to indicate the possibility of an agree
meet between the different railroads, ultimately
leading TO a restoration of rates to a paying
basis.

that are in litigation, but there are various
amounts yet due the receiver. The petition was

A Weak Place in the Ohio River Pool.

L. D. Richardson, commissioner of the Chi
cago and Ohio River pool, remained in Chicago
yesterday and put in his time in the endeavor to
whip the Chicago & Eastern Illinois into the
POOL traces regarding the matter of differential
rates. 1t is said that the l., B. & w. people, how
ever, are the greatest sticklers for the continu
ance of the differential rate, and if the threats
Of H. NJ. Bronson, general passenger agent of
the l., B., d w, are carried out, that unless the
other roads in the pool abandon the stand they
have taken passengers will be carried between
indianapolis and Chicago at 81 per
head, 1t is not overstating matters
when it is SAID, so far as the
Chicago and Ohio River pool is concerned, it looks
squally; yet nothing would be gained by either
party by engaging in a war of rates. 1t is a
money pool. Per cents. are established, and the
better rates are maintained the larger the pool
earning, and the larger amount Of money each
road will draw out of the pool pot.

The attention of scientific men in
Paris was quickly drawn to the
method of defense proposed by Frank
lin, and M. Dalibard, q man OF some
wealth, undertook to erect the ap.
parstus at his country residence
at Marly-la-Ville, some eighteen
miles from Paris. The situation OF the
house was considered to be eminently
favorable for the purpose, as the
building stood some four hundred feet
above the sea. A lofty wooden
scafiold, supporting en- iron rod an
inch in diameter and eighty feet long,
was erected in the garden. The rod
was finished at the top Bye sharp
point of bronzed steel, and it termi-
mated at the bottom, FIVE feet above
the ground, in smaller horizontal
rod, which ran to a table in a kind Of
septry-b0x, furnished with electrical
apparatus. On May 10Th, when M.
