Miscellaneous Notes.

The indications at the present time are quite
favorable fcr an amicable arrangement between
Union Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
directors.
1t is said that a third rail, standard guage, will
be laid on the Utah s. Northern branch from
Oregon, Utah, to the junction with the Oregon
Short-line at Pocatello, so that the road can be
used as an additional connection between the
main line and the Oregon Short-Iine.
A movement is on foot to build q new airline
road from Atlanta to Baltimore, tocompete with
the Richmond & Danville and the East Tennes-
see, Virginia. and Georgia system. The Central
Railroad of Georgia-a recognized power in the
South-is believed to be behind the new project.
The New Albany & Carnelton Narrow-gauge
engineers have commenced the survey of an
other route for the road from Breckenridge, on
the Corydon pike, by way of Middletown and
Grassy Valley, Harrison county, to Leaven-
worth. 1t is believed a most favorable route
will be found.
The East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Rail.
road Company, having been refused the privilege
of using the Union passenger station at Atlanta,
has begun the erection of a new station there.
As soon as it is completed the East Tennessee
system will reduce all passenger fares for points
touched by railroads leading out of Atlanta.
Boston capitalists are said TO be somewhat anx-
ious as to the outcome of their interest in the
Mexican Central road, so disturbed are polit-
ical matters there. The road, however, is fixed
fact, and although its present prosperity may be
more or less affected by political and economic
disturbances, yet the road can hardly fail to
greatly develop the business of the country,
which will in time assure the prosperity of the
great enterprise.

Mr.. Grifin,s Big Fish Story.

If there is going to be any free-for all contest
this season for men who can tell the biggest fish
story, Health Officer Billy Griffin should be
made to carry extra weights or be handicapped
in some way. The last pleasing and picturesque
fiction that William tells rather shuts out all
competition. He says that just above the dam
at Broad Ripple there is a monster Mississippi
river catfish about eighteen feet long, and with
a head so large that the eyes are fully ten feet
apart, and a mouth as big as the entrance to the
Union Depot. In addition, there is q horn on
the back of nibs about four feet long, and feel
ers about his mouth fully ten feet long. Griffin
was stopped from telling any more just as he
was about to say that the fish rode on a water
bicycle, and had gold filing in his teeth.

The Latest b

A rumor is current III railroad circles that the
trunk1ine matters are already so far advanced
toward a satisfactory adjustment, that the
preparation of details and the rounding off Of
sharp corners are all that remains to be per
fected. The arrangement of the details will
probably occupy all the week. The clearing
house" scheme has been given up, and the differ
entail rates plan has been adopted. An In
dianapolis railroad official last night remarked
regarding the differential rate talk that the
longer line which was found with the differen-
tial rate would get the business, as not one ship
per in ten cared how long his property was
reaching its destination as he almost Invariably
gets his money ten minutes after securing his
bill of lading.

THE HOUSE.
The Day Devoted to Consideration of the
Pension Appropriation Bill.

Pension Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, April IA bill was passed
authorizing the construction of a railroad bridge
across the st. Croix river, in the States Of Wis
consin and Minnesota.
The morning hour was dispensed with, and
the House went into committee of the whole,
Mr., Springer in the chair, on the pension appro-
priation bill.
After an hours general debate the bill was
read by paragraphs for amendments.
Mr. Golf offered a provision that no proof
shall be required, either in pending cases OF
those hereafter fled, as to the physical condition
of the soldier at time he was mustered into
the service, and all claims heretofore rejected on
account of lack of such proof shall he reheard.
Against this proviso Mr.. Randall and Mr..
Hamilton raised points of order, and in the
course of the discussion Mr.. Reed took occasion
to express his contempt for the system of rules
under which the House was operating.
Mr.. Randall took the floor and spoke in de-
tense of the rules.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.. Hiscock
offered an amendment striking out the reappro-
priation clause of the bill andmaking the money
available by direct appropriation. Lost.
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, offered an amend
ment increasing from S. to S12 per 100 the
voucher allowance to pension agents for vouch-
ers prepared and paid by them in excess of 81
600 per annum. Lost.
Mr.. Hancock, on behalf of the committee on
appropriations, moved to make the amount $40.
Agreed to.
Nh. Rosecrans offered an amendment striking
out the provisions for pay Of pension agents and
transferring the duties of those officers to the
pay department of the army.
Pending a vote on this amendment the com
mittee rose and the House adjourned

Asnuittal of Sheriff Davidson.

New YORK, April 17.-When the testimony
for the prosecution was all in in the trial Of
Sheriff Davidson, under an indictment charging
extoftion and receiving money under false pre-
lenses, his counsel asked the Judge to direct the
return of a verdict of acquittal. The district
attorney admitted that the indictment would
never have been found if the evidence brought
out on cross-examination had been before the
grand jury. The judge chen directed the return
of q verdict for the defendant, and the jury
promptly found Sheriff Davidson not guilty.
The other two indictments pending against him
months, were quashed, on motion of Mr.. Choate.

Humor of the Stomach,

MUCH Of the distress and sickness attributed to

occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several
cases, with all the characteristics of these COM
plants, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Other cures effected by this medicine are so
wonderful that the simplest statement Of them
affords the best proof that it combines rare cura-
tive agents, and when once used, SECURES the

system.

The Atchisen, Topeka & Santa Fe is fast
coming into prominence as being one of the
most promising railway systems in this country.
Fourteen years ago the Atchison system, then
in embryo, was composed of twenty-eight miles
of completed road within the State of Kansas
To-day it operates directlys1, 800 miles, and man
ages 800 miles more, making 1920 miles, in ad-
dition to which it has a half interest in the At
iantic & Pacific, which would raise the total to
over 1900 miles. Thus, from being a road of
merely local significance, it has developed, until
now, with Kansas City and Atchison on the
Missouri AS eastern termini, the system affords
in one direction q line into Colorado, and in the
other, through New Mexico and Arizona, lines
to the Pacific coast, over both the Atlantic &
Pacific and the Southern Pacific; a line to Quay
mas, in Mexico, over the Sonora road, which it
owns, and a line to Ell Paso del Norte, where it
connects with the Mexican Central, now com
pleted to the City of Mexico. All this has been
attained under the management of energetic
Boston people, with Colonel Thomas Nickerson
as their leader.

Views of Presidents Devereux and McCul
Tough on the Trunk-Line Pool.

J. Il. Devereux, president of the Decline
system, says the results of the trunk-line
pool have not been satisfactory. Rates have
not been maintained as they should be. The
whole matter needed simplifying. Rates should
be SO arranged that it made no difference to a
shipper in this respect over what route his prop
erty was forwarded To the question, did he
favor the clearinghouse system, he said yes, if
through it a maintenance of agreed rates could
be effected. Mr.. Deyereux expressed the opin-
ion that there were too many fast-freight lines.
Fortunately they were reducing the number in
the Bee line system to where they can easily
control them. j. N. Mccullough, yice-president
of the Pennsylvania lines, said the trunk
line pool was operated with entirely too much
machinery. The results of It's operation had
not compensated the roads interested for the ex-
penseit burdened them with. Their passenger and
freight officials were at New York, on the road
going to and coming from Commissioner Finkis
Office half the time. They neglected their bust
ness to attend pool meetings. He favored a
clearinghouse if it could be carried on at reason
able expense, but he did not believe in using a
large per cent. of their earnings in experiment
ing with pools or clearinghouse. The results
of the trunk line pool had been disappointing.
When asked how soon the Pennsylvania people
would favor a restoration ON east-bound rates he
answered they won't be in a hurry about it. Re
garding fast-freight lines he said there were
entirely too many of them. The Pennsylvania
system practically had none; every car run on
their system was owned by the Pennsylvania
people and they had expended a vast amount of
money in purchasing these cars, thus securing
control of them. The names Union, Star and
Empire lines were simply a trade mark.
