Cutting Down Operating Expenses by the Use
of Heavier Equipments.
The tendency with railway arrangements is
now to build larger and stronger cars, and in re-
newals of road beds, bridges, ETC., special atten-
ton is given that they be made so substantial as
to bear tire present locomotives and trains
hauled The weight per foot run of a long train
of loaded cars is fast approaching that of train
made up of locomotives. The largest box cars
in use on the New York, Buffalo e. Western
road weigh $4,000 pounds, have carrying ca
pacity of $4,000, and when loaded they weigh
$4,000 pounds; but on Indianapolis roads 40, 600
pounds is the carrying capacity of the cars built
within the last two years, and with
more powerful locomotives there has
been a marked reduction in the cost
of moving freights. General Manager Thomas
of the Bee line, states that they are now haul
ing 10000 pounds of freight as cheap as they
could 20, 900 pounds FIVE years ago with old
style cars and light locomotives The expert
ence on the Chicago st. Louis q Pittsburg road
is much the same. The consol and heavy mogul
engines are hauling about the same number of
cars, carrying 40 900 pounds. that they did a few
years ago of cars carrying 10000 pounds. thus
cutting down the expenses of train crews one
half; and the heavier engines are consuming but
little more coal. so great have been the improve
ments IN freboxes, fiues, draught, etc.

GENERAL NEWS.
President Sloan Fully Determined to Have
a Chicago Line.

President Sloan Fully Determined to Have
Chicago Line.
From a railroad official who is intimately ac-
quainted with Sam Sloan, president of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western road and who
knows his plans and views as to the future of
the property is learned that Mr.. Sloan is fully
determined to secure a Chicago line on such
terms as best he can. Mr. Sloan is opposed to
paralleling existing roads, yet when the existing
roads show no disposition to act squarely with a
would be connection he believed in the crippled
road paralleling or doing anything practicable to
placing itself on an equal basis at least with
the arbitrary road. He then argued
that now there was practically but two roads be-
tween Buffalo and Chicago. namely: the Grand
Trunk q Great Western, which was one, and the
Canada Southern, the Lake Shore, and Nickel
plate the other, all being part of the Vanderbilt
system The way the matter now stands, he is
ready to purchase at fair sum either of the
three Vanderbilt roads, yet if Vanderbilt will
not sell, neither enter into a ninety nine year
traffic arrangement, all that is left for him to do
is to parallel Nanderbiltis road. Mr.. Sloan is
said to express fear as to his ability to build
parallel line as the securities he can offer will
bring the funds needed and the tenor Of his con
versation such, it is stated, as to indicate
there would be little more dilly -dallying in the
matter

tenant, Aiding Western Enterprise.
II. S. Carroll, president of the Ltchfeld, Car
rollton & Western road, was in the city yester-
day on business connected with the road, and
from him tits learned that the prospects that the
road viii not only be built from
Litchfield to point opposite Clarks-
vile, on the Mississippi river, but on
to Kansas City are exceedingly fiattering
The distance from I4itchfeld to the Mississippi
river is eight miles, twenty-five of which is now
built and trains running over it, and the entire
right of way to the Mississippi has been secured
and a considerable portion of the grading is
done. On the twenty five miles completed
not one dollar is owed subsidies build
ing it. Now the company proposes
to get as much from subsidies as
possible, and then what may be called properly a
DeVereaux syndicate will furnish the funds
needed above the subsidies to build it. Mr. Car
roll estimates that $4,000 per mile, in addition
to the subsidies he can secure. win build and
equip it from Litchfeld to Kansas City, in
Guiding the bridging of the Mississippi
river. The fact that the so-ealled Deverelx
syndicate advancing money to build the road
and taking their bonds as. security, indicates

Commissioner Fink Places Check on 'Tn
Transit Business"

Under instruction from the executive commit
tee of the trunk lines, Commissioner Fink
has notified the general freight agents
of Western roads that any property
loaded after Jan. 90, the trunk
lines would refuse to pass as in transit under
rates in vogue prior to the restoration of rates.
Although rates were ordered restored on the 18th
of January some of the fast-freght lines are
still carrying property as in transit, in this way
cutting rates, This order places such lines in an
awkward predcament concerning freights loaded
in the last forty eight hours

Who VIII Move FIRST in the Natter

One of the most prosperous associations of
railroad men in this country is the Railway
Young Mems Christian Association, at Kansas
City, Mo. During last year there were 81 800
visitors to their rooms. Several attractive fea-
lures have been added OF late which have been of
great benefit to the membership, and during the
present winter course of lecturse is being de-
lvered free by leading men in the legal, medical
and other professions. Convenient comfortable
bathrooms are attached to the building, and last
year they were used by 3,339 persons. In the
reading room there are desks stationery, etc :,
furnished free, and everything has been done to
make the quarters attractive to railroad men.
This city to-day has more railroad men who call
Indianapolis their home than has Kansas City,
and there is no reason that there should not be
as prosperous and as useful an association, doing
as good work, here as in Kansas City and all that
is needed is that few earnest young men take
the lead in the matter.

No Cause for the Appointment Of a Receive,

No Cause for the appointment OF Receiver.
On Monday Wall-street 'bears7 revived the
story that the Wabash, st. Louis g. Pacific was
to be placed in the hands of receiver. The
rumor was promptly met by Jay Gould, who
says there is no truth whatever in the report
that the Wabash company is going into the
hands of receiver. The company is in good
financial condition, and will meet its fixed
charges promptly There are very few people
who place any faith in the stories of Goulds en-
ba1rassment. But the policy of attacking the
credit of corporations, individuals and firms has
been found to work so well of late that the
bears do not hesitate to put forth any false
hood which they think will serve their turn.

SIG. Austin Fl. Brown vs. Alfred Harrison
ct al. Marion S. c.
Hammond J.-Appellees' complaint alleged
that Wheatley had purchased certain lot at
sheriffs sale; that in suit against him appellees
were adjudged to have lien on said certificate
of purchase, and that appellant, who was county
clerk, should hold the same in trust for them;
that afterwards said certificate was sold at
sheriffs sale, and appellees bought it; that be
fore such sale the property. had been re
deemed, but appellant had refused to pay the
redemption money to appellees on demand.
This complaint showed a cause of action.
The sale by the sheriff to the appellees trans
ferred to them the title to the certificate of pur-
chase as effectually as If the assignment had
been made by Wheatly himself. lSec 439, I'd
r. s., 1876, p. 208) Appellants refusal to pay
the money to appellees on demand was evidence
of conversion. l23 Ind, Bill. The second an
swer averred that Wheatley had assigned the
Judgment to Golfer on May IS, 1876, and had no
further interest in it, and that appellant had
paid the redemption money to Coulter. The
sale of the lot to Wheatley was in October 1876.
The purchaser of the lot at sherff's sale, or his
assignee, not the assignee of the Judgment,
was the person entitled to receive the money
paid on redemption. Judgment affirmed.
