OPENING THE FOUNTAINS.

In numberiess bulbs beneath thu skin
is secreted the liquid substance which
gives the hair its texture, color and
gloss. When this secretion stops, the
hair begins at once to become dry, lus-
treless, brittle and gray. Is that the
condition of your hair? If 50, apply
Parker's Hair Balsam at once. It will
restore the color, gloss and life by re.
newing the action of nature. The BAL
sam is not an oil, not dye, but an ele-

Alarmed Over the Situation.

Mention was made in a recent issue Of the
Journal that the proxy committees representing
the main line and St. Louis divisions of the To-
ledo. Cincinnati &c st. Louis railroad held pro-
traeted sessions on Friday and Saturday in Bos-
ton, and plan of organization combining the
two divisions was agreed upon. This committee
on Tuesday last issued circular to the bond
holders giving details of the existing emergency,
and calling for prompt action if they would save
their property. 1t recommended the organiza-
tion of new company and the conversion Of the
narrow into a standard gauge track, setting
forth the advantages of the change The cir

that at this rate of charge and loss, the value of
the property will soon be exhausted and that

win Shorten Their Running Time.

The Pennsylvania and the Vandalia manage
ments have finally concluded to shorten the run
ming time of their fast express trains between
st. Louis and New York with the taking effect of
the spring timetable. The programme now is
that the train shall leave st. Louis at A. NJ,
reach indianapolis at l P. NJ, Columbus at p
M. and land passengers in New York at p. NJ
instead of as now at 1890 P. NJ the
second evening out from St Louis. This
train will carry the through mails and haul the
hotel through car, and will stop only at county
seats in Illinois, Terre Haute, Greencastle Indi-
apapolis Cambridge City and Richmond in Ind-
ana, and but four stops between Richmend and
Columbus in Ohio. These few stops are made
necessary to make the time easy. A second
train wn probably leave st. Louis an
hour later to do more local work
and reach indianapolis in season to make all
connections now made by the cyclone express
and the fast mail train, and it is quite probable
although not definitely settled that this train
will be continued east from here and haul the
Indianapolis and Pittsburg sleeping car, making
connections with the same train at PittsbuDg
that the fast mail leaving here at 5:15 p NJ now
does.

What the Presidents and Managers Did Yes
terday,

The officials of the roads which compose the
Union Railway Company were in conference the
entire day yesterday and last evening, and have
not yet concluded their sittings. 1t was voted
that the reorganized Union Railway Company
take possession of the property on May l.
Among the first matters brought up was the
opening of the outside offices for the sale of tick
cts. A couple of hours were spent in discussing
the question: and it was finally decided
that no tickets should be sold at the outside Of
fees except those controlled by the Union Rail
way Company, namely: at the Union Depot
the Office on North Meridian street and at the de-
pot on Massachusetts avenue. What to do with
the ticket scalpers was next discussed, and it
was voted to employ attorneys and enforce
the laws against sealping in this State
The next and most troublesome question
TO settle is the location of the new
Union Depot. The majority favor locating it
west of Illinois street. where there is plenty of
room, while the minority is strongly opposed to
changing the location from where the Union
Depot now stands, and at late hour
last night these officials were still con
sidering the matter of location. No
plan of the new depot has yet been
discussed as the character of the structure will
depend entirely on the location. From three of the
presidents is learned thatthere will be no trouble
about the plan of the depot after its location is
decided upon. This morning the officials make
a trip over the Belt road.

Pool Meetings Called for Next Week.

Commissioner Fink Yesterday called three
meetings for next week, to be held at his Office
in New York, one of the managers and general
freight agents of the five roads running east
from st, Louis, to re-establish the pool at that
point; and of the managers and general freight
agents of the six roads leading from
indianapolis, to re-establsh the pool
at this point and the other of
the managers and general freight agents of the
five roads leading east out of Peoria, to perfect
his Peoria pool No trouble is probable in fix
ing the per cents. in the Peoria pool, but it is
expected that the per cents of the indianapolis
pool will be difficult to arrange satisfactorily to
all parties, and it will likely be arbitrated The

A Commission which Is Not Hostile to Rail-


The New York Board of State Railroad Commits
sioners have submitted an elaborate report on the
Senate bill "to secure pro rata charges for local
freight carried by railroads in the State of New
York" This bill, which sought to prohibit rail
road companies from charging more, in proper
tion to distance, for local freight than for
through freight, was referred to the commits
sioners one year ago, and has been the subject
of very painstaking investigation. Fhe CON
clusions reached by the commissioners are ad-
verse to the bin, which they say would cause
greater evils than it would cure They affirm
as general principle that railroads should not
charge more for local than for through freight
but that circumstances may exist which Justify
such practice in particular cases, and that rail
roads should be allowed to plead the facts in
each case where unjust discrimination is alleged
The report is temperate and conservative in
tone and proves that the commission is not hos
tile to the railroads, but is disposed to give due
consideration to every interest and every in
diyidual

win the Wabash weather the Storm?

The rumor is again current that the Wabash,
ST. Louis & Pacific is about to drop into the
hands of a receiver. That the bears are making
vigorous assault the property is quite evi-
dent, and they are backed by several of the New
York papers. The DIAL of Tuesday last says:
The directors of the Wabash Railway Company
We're called together ''to discuss matters Of great
Importance" About time. Goulds watery trash
is rapidly sinking to its proper Aevel-the
sewer. The sooner it is swept out of
the street the better. The stockholders
says rumors of a receiver for the road were cur
rent but were explicitly denied and probably
are not true. The New York Mail says there
are great many reports in circulation about
Wabash which have no foundation in fact. For
instance. it is said the road will not earn the
June interest on its general mortgage bonds.
How anyone can tell that at the beginning of
April is mystery. On the other hand, friends
of the road say the prospects were never so good
as they are now along the line of the road, and
the management will introduce all the econ ON
les possible in operation, and that there is no
reason for this decline in the price of Wabash
The fact is that the bears have lied and ham
mered and lied and hammered, until every bit of
confidence has been driven out of the stock
market General Manager Talmage was pres
ent at the New York meeting and gave some in
teresting information in regard to the condition
of the road, and predicted great progress for the
future, All financial questions were referred to
the executive committee with power.
