Mean Business,

1t is becoming quite evident that the parties
who have taken hold of the proposed narrow
gauge road north from New Albany will build
the road certainly to Leavenworth. The New
Albany Ledger says President D. w. Solliday,
who has been with the engineers some days on
their engineering expedition, returned on Satur-
day. He states that the engineers are now within
six miles of Leavenworth and have so far secured
an excellent route and one over which the work
of construction can be cheaply done. The route
into Leavenworth will be equally favorable
Cold weather has somewhat interfered with the
work of the engineers nevertheless they are
getting along rapidly. Everywhere. President
Sollday says, the people are enthusiastic for the
road and will give the right of way without
cost to the company, The only unfavor-
able feature in the enterprise is that it is pro
posed to make it narrow gauge road, class
of roads which, in Indiana Illinois, and Ohio,
have proved bad failures and only sink-holes
for money.

FREIGHT BUSINESS.
Traffic Increasing with Majority of the
indianapolis Roads.

Traffic Increasing with a Majority of the
indianapolis Roads.
The train records show an increased move
ment of cars over several lines, with sharp fall
ing-off over the l. & st. L. and the Beelne The
latter was rather expected, as the circumstances
which created such boom over the Vanderbilt
linesin the week ending the 10Th were not so ia
vorable, the advantages gained by forwarding
property as ''in transit being somewhat risky.
The coming week a lighter east-bo traffic
may be expected, as a better maintenance
of rates is highly probable. West
bound tonnage has increased quite
handsomely the last few days, more loaded cars
coming west than there are moving eastward.
The increased movement of freights westward is
some days earlier in the season than usual but
nevertheless is fortunate, as most of the roads
are badly in need OF larger earnings. Through
live stock traffic continues to be an important
feature, it being considerably ahead of the ship
ments at the corresponding period in 1883 Bust
ness is improving somewhat with the north and
south roads. The south bound movement is
made up largely of lumber, ice and provisions;
nOrthward, miscellaneous freights. For three
months past, north and south roads have been
doing but little, comparatively speaking,
their tonnage seldom footing up 50 light; there
fore a little increase in business is appreciated.
OF course large per cent of the freight carried
by these lines is of local character and handled
at paying rates. Local traffic is somewhat
spasmodical. Some days about the city freight
depots there is much activity and on other days
dull yet agents speak of business as being
fully up to the average of January for some
years past Below is given the number of cars
received and forwarded in the week ending Jan.

Overlooking CARS.
Greedy Shippers and GoOd-Natured Agents
WORRYING Sunerintendents.


Ten years ago the largest carrying capacity of
freight was 10000 pounds and shippers
were almost invariably loading $4,000 pounds.
Five years ago 10000 pounds made the ca
pacity of cars, and shippers then loaded IS, 900
pounds to car. Now the capacity Of nearly all
ears built is 10000 pounds, and shippers are
overlooking them 5000 to 10000 pounds, hoping
by hook or crook to get the load through as
10000 pounds and almost daily trains are de
layed on the leading roads by hot box caused
by the car being overloaded, until the practice
has become so annoying that something
has to be done in the matter. Careless or good
natured agents are more or less responsible for
this trouble. 1t is not unusual thing for a
general freight agent to receive letter from one
OF these careless agents asking how much load
car Of such a number will carry, notwithstand-
ing the fact that its carrying capacity is Stencled
upon each car in plain figures. A case in point
Is given in the last number of the National Car
Builder After lot of new freight cars have
been put on the road with their weights and ca
pacitieS stencifed upon them in regulation style,
it is little annoying to the general manager
to receive letters from station agents asking how
much maximum load the new cars can carry.
Not long since lot of cars with a Stenciled ca
pacity of 30, 600 pounds We're put upon certain
road. and shortly after the superintendent began
to receive letters from the agents asking if they
could not put 40, 900 pounds in them. The reply
was, of course: Cant you read the capacity
marked on the sides of the carsp The reply was
pertinent, although little evasive, and would
have been quite as effective had it been accom-
panied with a general order stating that, in the
loading of cars, marked capacities must not be
exceeded. In this instance there was no such
order, and not long afteFward one of these same
cars, after being cut out of trains a number of
times on account of hot boxes, was finally after
burning off journal, on the scales, and its
load was found to be $4,000 pounds.

Another Fast-Freight Line Consolidation.

The rumor is revived that, on March ], the
Canada Southern and the Red line fast-freight
lines will be consolidated. Such a consolda-
ton has been under contemplation some months,
and probably has something to do with the I'M
expected resignation of General Manager Cald-
well, of the Red line. Both are New York Cen
trail lines, and it is claimed would be run much
more economically if consolidated.

CoArs OF ARMS Speaking Of coats
OF arms, friend Of mine some time
ago busted herself in making a collec-
ton OF crests, monograms, and things
of that sort, which she pasted in a
scrap-book. Having number of
foreign friends, she was enabled to
get some very fine specimens OF for
eign coats Of arms; but the most gor-
geous one in the entire collection, one
that was at least an inch and half
in length and breadth, and was color
ed with every color of the rainbow,
was that OF the Astors, and the SIM
plest one was that of Queen Victoria.
The latter has simply small coronet
embossed, without color, on the letter
paper. My friend, who is somewhat
of humorist, has the Astor crest and
that of her majesty facing each other
on the page, with the name Of the

to the brutal calumnies which are be-
ing circulated in reference to Gen.
Grant. The ex-President--to whom
this country owes more than any 9th

had, including his reputation. He
lent his boys-as almost any father
would have done-his money and the
prestige of his name. He trusted
them, and trusted their partner, with
the blind confidence which has so Of
ten made him the victim of ill-chosen
friends. He never was man of

documents, when he was President,
and his published conversations with
Mr.. Young, show that he is utterly
devoid Of the mercantile instinct, and
that in matters of money, this brill
liant soldier and ripe statesman is a
perfect child. Anybody could cheat
him. 1t was knowledge of this pc
culiar feature in his character which
induced the friends who subscribed
$250,000 some ten years ago for his
support to place the money in trust

could only draw the interest and could
not touch the principal. They knew
