A New Artist in indianapolis.

Last November II German gentleman came TO
this city and proceeded at once to open an art
studio, although unable to speak or understand
a sentence in English. This was Mr.. Adolph
Sehnaith and he has already mastered the Ian
guage and found favor in the sight of some of
the best citizens who have found in him an art
list whose work excels anything done III Indian
apolis heretofore, in his particular lne-that of
a new method of water-color portrait painting.
MIR. Schnaith has spent twenty years in study,
beginning when a child and concluding his
studies under the best masters Europe affords.
Ten years were spent in Munich and Rome
alone. The writer has seen portraits of Mr..
Frauer the druggist. Mr.. Peter Leber, Mr..
Wash Sawyer, deceased, and several others, by
this artist, and they are as nearly perfect as
pictures can be. Mr.. Schnaith has determined
to teach class of young ladies and gentlemen
in this branch of painting, as the method has
created such demand here it has been for some
time quite the rage in Eastern cities. The studio
is at No 234 East Washington street, for the

An Unjust Criticism.

A Western paper comments severely on the
condition of the New York Central road. The
writer of the article-a half column in length
among other things, says: ''That the large
sums required to keep up the rate of dividends
paid on watered stock to its stockholders in the
past years have resulted in an excessive economy
in the working of the road, which, in time, has
allowed the condition of the road and its accom-
modatons to be left far behind what are
now classified as frstclass roads. The passen-
ger equipment, too is not up to the standard
that could be expected. Many old cars, dirty
and uncleanly in appearance, are still in use. "
As. since J. H. Rutter accepted the presidency
over one and a half million dollars has been ex-
pended on the road bed and equipments, these re
marks are to say the least unjust. Railroad men
who are judges of good road bed, comment IA
vorably on the marked improvement in the last
twelve months, and, what is more, with sharp
competitor like the West Shore, it would hardly
be policy for the Central people to allow their
property to deteriorate physically

The War on East-Bound Rates.

The war on east-bound rates is still exciting
much interest not only with railroad men and
shippers but the business men generally, as we'll
The Pennsylvania is credited with having been
very patient in the matter, but it will be remem-
bered that so long as the Erie and Grand Trunk
captured the business of the New York Central
system the Pennsylvania was comparatively
Indifferent. Within the last few weeks while
rates were being cut by the connections of the
New York Central the Baltimore & Ohio also cut
thereby striking at the Pennsylvania roads bust
ness to Philadelphia. This seems to have worked
a change Then the warfare recently developed
between the two last named roads on coal bust
ness has also tended to anger the Pennsylvania
people Still another cause that has led President
Roberts to take his present position has been the
recent reductions made by the pool srbitrators in
percentages of the Pennsylvania system. The
general basis of these awards has been the
course of traffic, and the Pennsylvania people
have declared that as they only suffered in the
percentages from their policy of maintaining rates
better than their competitors maintained them
they intended to test what the drift of business
would be with all lines placed on an equality
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-03-26

On the Pennsylvania lines the enginemen are
classified into four grades. The new men are in
the fourth class, and it takes a year to go
through each class until the fourth year. when
they are called first class. Engineers on helping
engines receive from 81 55 to So Copper day, depend
ing on classification. The men running through
freight engines receive from So to 81 10, accord
ing to classification All passenger enginemen
receive So 50 per day, The passenger men have
to, as a rule, run many years on freights before
they are promoted to running passenger, and as
a result they are competent and careful men,
fully capable of performing the duties as
signed them They must also be thoroughly
posted in the rules and regulations of the com
pany, and the company have 425 rules in their
book of rules and regulations, most of which re-
late either directly indirectly to the running of
trains, they must be well understood Most
of their engineers are promoted fremen. The
fireman commences on the yard engines at
81 20 per day. From this work he is put on the
extra list of road iremen, and when freight is
heavy he can earn fair wages, and if he Is at
tentive. sober and industrious he will get regu
lar engine to fire, and his pay will be from s. 80
to s.. 20 per day, depending the trip that he
goes out on. He is first put on a freight engine,
then from that to passenger engine. AT all
times he is expected to use every endeavor to
keep up the necessary pressure of steam, to fire
so as to make the least amount of smoke, and
yet save as much coal as possible. Firemen are
allowed a certain amount of coal per car per
mile, and they receive cent per bushel for all
they save on that allowance, the engineer also
receiving cent per bushel When fremen
have fired for some time and more enginemen
are needed, those longest in the companys
employ are examined and, if competent areigiven
an engine to run.

Have Not Yet ReDorted.

A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer of yester-
day from Columbus, o., stated that President
Jones, of the commission appointed to investi-
gate the charges against c. Jay French, su-
perintendent of the Fifth division of the railway
mail service, had prepared lengthy report ex-
onerating French from guilt. Mr.. Jones is at
present in the city and says there is no truth in
the statement whatever, as the commission will
not make report until they have thoroughly
reviewed all the testimony, a work upon which

Miscellaneous Notes.

In the year 1888 there was added to the equip
ment of the Missouri Pacific lines. d. Iocomo-
tives, 32 passenger cars, Is baggage, mail and
express cars, and 53S freight cars.
Ground for the new shops of the Delaware
Laekawanna & Western road will be broken at
Utica, N. Y, May /, and to cost $500, 000, in
round numbers. The shops will employ 400 men.
Mr. Murphy division superintendent of the
Erie road, has invented what he calls ''rock
signal, to be used III dangerous rock cuts along
railroad lines where watchmen are stationed.
The signal can be manipulated by the Waterman
quickly and gives the danger signal in both di
rections at once These signals will be tried on
the Delaware division
1t is highly probable that the Ohio & Missis-
sippi road will now be extended from Boards
town to Burlington Ia, as originally projected.
This would make Burlington the terminus of the
Springfield division instead of Beardstown, and
the result would be the addition of a large
amount of through business which this part of
the o. & NJ. so much needs.
The Union Pacific hospital fund, amounting to
forty cents per month from each employee, sys-
tenn lately inauglrrated, donated to paying for
the care of the men when sick or disabled is
proving a grand success, Hospitals are being
established at various places. One at Ogden
draws patients from the Utah & Northern and

and also from the west end of the Union Pacific.

Mr.. Doremus, surveyor of the route for the
projected Salt Lake & Western railway, in con
versaton with Salt Lake Tribune man, said no
more work Is contemplated on this line for the
present not because the Union Pacific manage

road West, but because they have adopted CON

at present into any railway enterprises beyond
what they have on hand, except such as are
forced upon them.
