| Colonel Bennett Young, president of the

to-day announce by circular the appointment Of
IA B. Southland as assistant to the president in
charge of trafic-freight and passenger depart
lments to report to him. The return of Mr.
Southland to the L., N. A. & G. is GER
tainiy a favorable omen. 1t is well
known that never was the road more
prosperous than during the four
years that the traffic departments were under
his supervisor. In 1877, when he assumed the
duties of trlfic manager, the road was doing
only light local business In 1881 when he re
tired, not only had the local business increased
100 per cent, but very handsome through
traffic had been built up-more especially heavy
lumber and coal business Since he retired,
unfortunately for his successor the road has
been less prosperous. While speaking of this
property, it is but proper to state that major
ity of the Eastern directors speak i'll very com
plmentary terms of Colonel Bennett YoungS
executive ability and feel that, with A. B.
Southland his assistant the business of the
road will increase i'll proportion, and freights will
be carried paying rates. Eastern directors state
that sufficient stock is held by parties who are
friends of Col. Young to ensure his reelection as
president of 1.-THE H. NJ A g. c. company. Re

East-BOund Rates Being Cut by the st.
Louis and Chicago Roads.
Fast-freight line agents at this point are com
planning that rates are cut from points west of
here on eastb bound freights and that such cut
ting of rates in part accounts for the bad show
ling in east-bound tonnage out of indianapolis
proper and it might be well for Commissioner
Fink to investigate some of the charges
made more especially on the cutting of rates at
st Louis. A prominent st. Louis freight man,
who believes in roads living up to agreements,
to a telegram sent to ST. Louis, yesterday ask
ing if the reports that rates were being cut out
lof St Louis were true, answered; RATES
Ikave been shaky here for the past month. On

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION OF 1888.
NEARLY 1000 Miles of New Railroads Built
Last Year.

Nearly 1000 Miles of New Railroads Built
Last Year.
According to the Railway Age tracklaying has
been in progress during the year 1888 in forty
one of the States and Territories on no less than
241 lines, and at least 6,6OS miles of road have
been added to the railway system of this coun-
try, not counting double tracks, sidings or
switches. Later returns will probably increase
this aggregate slightly, though not materially.
The completion of G, 900 miles of railway during
the year means the addition of about 80, 900 men
an army i'll themselves-to the host of officers
and other employees Of our railway system. 1t
means the expenditure of $25, 900 per mile, or
$i65, 900, 900 on these roads alone. This does not

and the tens of thousands of men employed in

roads on which track has not yet been laid In
fact, the record of tracklaying alone gives a
very inadequate idea of the activity and money
expenditure involved in railway construction
during the year. These figures moreover do
mot include the large mileage completed and
under way in Canada and Mexico, with which
the capital and manufacturers of the United
States have had an intimate connection.

GENERAL NEWS,

The management OF the Union PACIFIC Fa-
vOrably Commented Upon.
The bears are making rather slow Roadway in
their attacks on the Union Pacific. The fact is
that 20 per cent. of the stock is held by parties
who have great confidence in the property, and
in its management, as WELL which operates the
road on AZ per cent of its gross earnings. 1t is
a fact worth serious consideration that the
Union Pacific, which is the first transcontinental
line ever constructed, is the shortest yet built,
notwithstanding the pretensions of later rivals.
It's main line the continent is only l 033
miles in length, while another main stem, which
extends from Kansas City to Denver, is 639
miles long. The main lines and branches cover
4J30 miles of railway. The country tributary
to the road is rapidly increasing in wealth. and,
while competition will be naturally attracted
the Union Pacific has the inside track, and each
year will build up more new business than it
can lose of the old.
