There has been no rain in Central Ohio
for several weeks. The wells are becom-
ing dry and serious water famine is
feared. Owing to this and other causes
there is no probability whatever that St.

CONTAGIOUS.

IN 1870 Scrofulous Ulcers broke out on my
i body until my breast was one mass of cor
ruption. Some of these Ulcers were not less
than one and One-half inches in diameter, the
edges rough, ragged and seemingly dead, the
cavity open to the bone and filed with Often
sive matter. Everything known to the medi-
cal faculty was tried in vain. Gradually the
bone itself because diseased, and then the
suffering began in earnest. Bone Ulcers began
to take the place of those hitherto on the sur
face. / became a mere wreck. For months
at a time could not get my hands to my head
because of extreme soreness. Could not turn
in bed. Knew not what it was to be an hour
even free from pain. Had reason to look upon
life itself as a curse. In the summer of 1880,
after ten years of this wretched existence, /
began to use the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and
after two years persistent use of them the last
Ulcer has healed. The dread disease has sue
cumbed. All over the breast where was once
a mass of corruption is now a healthy skin.
MY weight has increased from 123 to 1855
and the good work is still going on, l
feel myself new man, and all through the
CUTICURA REMEDIES.

Boston security holders have been trying to
ascertain the amount of the floating debt of the

The share of the New York through ship
ments westward awarded to the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western is not II per cent. of the
whole, but IA per cent. of what is left after
taking out the West Shores share, which has
been fixed temporarily at 10 per cent of the
whole. Thus the L~ackawanna's share becomes
l2.6 per cent. of the whole, and the two new
roads take 22.6 per cent. of the New York ship
ments, which will make a material difference
with the old roads.

The Steel Rail Traffic.

There are in this country fifteen Bessemer
s~teel-rail works, nine of which are now in opera
ton. In 1867 the production of Bessemer steel
rails in this country was 2,277 tons. and in 1888,
1,l19,576 tons. During the first ten years 1,03S,
All tons were made; in fourteen years, 3~,31S,5S7
tons, and in the whole seventeen years G,8T7,3l6
tons, of which total 1888, 800 tons were manu-
featured during the last seven years. The
American works are now able to produce more
than the amount of steel rails needed in this
country, but the yearly construction of rail
roads, the exchange of steel for iron rails
and the renewals of steel rails must
maintain a large business for many
years TO come. While the production Of steel
rails in this country has increased so enormous
ly, the price has decreased very considerably.
In 1865 steel rails sold for as much as $l74 at the
works in Pennsylvania, and the average price of
that year was $685. 80. At the present day they
can be bought for $34, the lowest price known in
the history of the business. The life of a steel
rail is generally conceded to be five to ten times
as great as that of an iron rail. The standard
weight of steel rails for the trunk lines is from
sixty to siXty-seven pounds. and the New York
Central is negotiating for the manufacture of a
rail weighing eighty pounds to the yard, with
which it is proposed to lay the track from the
Grand Central Depot to Mott Haven. Some of
the fifty-two- pound rails laid on the New York
Central by Commodore Vanderbilt, in 1866. are
still in use, while others had to be taken up at
the end of fourteen wears.

An Honorable Railroad President.

As the firm stand that the Indiana, Blooming
ton & Western road has taken in the matter of
maintaining rates, east-bound, excites some sur
prise, the views of Austin Corbin, president of
the road, become a matter of interest. Mr. Cor
bin says thatthe recent meeting of presidents of
the trunk lines, where the presidents signed an
agreement to restore rates and TO be responsible
for any deviation therefrom, was the first trunk
line meeting he had ever attended, and he iugded
from the remarks of the several presidents that
they all were truthful, honorable men, and he
readily signed the agreement, and should abide
by it until the meeting of the trunkline presi-
dents on Wednesday, March 10. It was true
that their road had been asked to furnish fifty
cars per day at Peoria to load at the same rates
MS We're his competitors loading cars, and while
the temptation so to do was great, he valued his
signature to an agreement more highly than any
profit or increased revenue the l., b. & W.
would likely receive through carrying such

A Model Railroad.

The annual report of George B. Roberts,
president of the Pennsylvania lines, is being
commented on favorably, so complete and so
honest is it in statements made, not covering up
any LOSSES i'll revenue which may have occurred
on any division. As this corporation is not only
the largest but one of the most important in this
country, every one is interested in knowing
what it does and how it stands financially. 1t is a
kind of financial barometer, and the general bust
ness world can be estimated by the rising and fall
ang of Pennsylvania stock. The fact that the
stock seldom varies not only gives confidence at
home, but makes it a popular investment in

The Enterprise Taking shape.

The board of directors of the Burlington,
Lafayette & Western Railway Company met in
this city yesterday. J. j. C%ottingham resigned
as one of the directors and president of the com
pany. Adam Bin, of Carroll, was elected di-
rector in his place, and G. j. Henninger, of this
city, president. A large number of paid-up GER
~tiicates of stock were issued. The road located
north of Wildcat creek was approved to be the
best and cheapest, and was adopted to be con-
structed from the Wabash railway, near Buck
creek, to Kokomo, as soon as the weather per
mits. The location from Buck creek into Lafay-
cite is to be made this week. The contract is
company, to be finished this coming season.

Popular Opinion Demands Monthly State
ments.

Rumor has it that the Union Pacific has de-
cided to make only annual statements of earn
ings. This viii certainly be a mistake on the
part OF the Union Pacific people. The require
ment of the times is greater rather than less
publicity in these matters, and the least that
corporations should do. according to popular
opinion, is to publish monthly statements of alb
solute earnings and expenses, as the Pennsyl-
vania, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and
the Atchison roads do, and as the Union Pacific
has also latterly. The large number of stock
holders in such properties, and in fact the pub
lie generally, are interested in knowing what
the men in charge of their property are doing.

How to Masse Honest Passenger Conductors.

How TO Make Honest Passenger Conductors.
A railroad man of large experience in operat-
ing railroads yesterday remarked that the great
mistake Of most railroad managers is that they
de not pay their passenger conductors as much
salary as they should. He then added; Every
few weeks we hear of wholesale discharges of
conductors on some system of roads, and the
manner the men are dropped creates a suspicion
that they were dishonest, whether that be the
cause or not" There were on the 744 railroads
in the United States some 1900 conductors, and
his opinion was that there were more honest
men in that number than there would be in
1000 men in any other service where money Is
handled, but passenger conductors were not paid
enough They were expected to dress neatly,
stop at respectable hotels when at termini away
from home. Said he, Take the Big Four. Mr..
ingalls, pays his conductors $S5 per month, and
half the time those who have homes in Indianap-
oils are at Chicago or Cincinnati, and while
there their expenses, on the most economical
scale, reach $50 per month, which leaves but
500 per month for them to support their families
on. which is a hard thing for them to do.
Then, added to this, they must keep themselves
neatly clad, which would be difficult for them to
do at less than 800 a year; so it is seen that the
conductors are obliged to keep their families all
the time and themselves part of the time provided
with food and shelter on what is left, say $40 per
month"; He then recalled an item which APP
IS"ANA IL ~ CVhA Ad1 oOLdC ago. COIUDll-
3%nenting j. d. Barton, now general superintend-
ent of Corbin's Long Island roads, on the action
he took to make honest conductors. 1t will be
remembered he called his passenger conductors
intohis Office one by one, and in his gruff manner
said: Conductor, you have to steal directly or
indirectly from the company to keep up your eX-
penses. we are now paying you 500. We
don't propose to discharge you now, but will in
crease your pay to 1925 per month, and. d-n
you, if you steal a nickel hereafter your head will
go off" The conductors accepted the proposition,
and the cash receipts of the company increased
fully one third, and the men gave better service.
A president a short time since remarked that he
did not think that a majority of passenger con
ductors looked upon it as stealing when they used
the eompany's money to pay for their own wants
and those of their pet engineers, or when they
treated friends to cigars; yet it was a big leak in
the company's earnings, and he thought that the
better policy would be to pay conductors $l25 or
$3.50 per NORTH, and then if a conductor was dis
honest not only discharge him but prosecute him
to the extent Of the law, and there would not
then be one dishonest asseng ger conductor where
there are ten now.
