Miscellaneous Notes.

The business of the Hoosac Tunnel road is in
creasing to such an extent that sometimes it
takes two engines to draw the heavy passenger
trains.
TIL Grand Trunk management, owing to the
great length OF the road, and the increasing bust
ness. have decided to form the road into six di-
visions, each under the charge of a general
superintendent.
The Central Iowa is under a cloud. There
was some underhand work in the recent cleo
tons, and unless there are SOM designations,
there will be interesting tunes ahead. and the
unsavory affairs of this corporation will be thor
oughly ventilated, it is said.
Corbins plan of lifting the Toledo. Cincinnati
e st. Louis road out of the mud is not likely to
terminate in his favor. There are outstanding
s., $50, 900 bonds. There have been assented to
the Quigley plan, by actual signature, s., 047,-
900 bonds, and to the Corbin plan 1888, 600.
The troubles of the Louisville & Nashville
road have brought TO light that only one of the
directors paid for his proportion of the Chicago
q Eastern Illinois stock, the others having
their proportion of the stock carried in the
treasury of the Louisville & Nashville company.
The Toledo. Cincinnati & St. Louis South
eastern divsion1 railroad bondholders have voted
unanimously to add the name of Austin Corbin
to their committee. Subsequently the iron di-
vision income bondholders appointed a commit
tee to confer with the first mortgage bondhold-
ers' committee with a view to ascertaining their
rights exactly, and protect them.
The contract for building dining-cars for the
Boston & Albany road has been given to the
Wason Manufacturing Company. They are to
cost $685. 900 each. The coaches are to be sixty
four feet long, exclusive of the platforms, or
four feet longer than any ever before built by
the company. They will be furnished with the
Mann oval roof and the Mann ventilating sys-
tenn.
A jury in the State of New York has rem
dered a verdict against a railway company in a
case brought to recover the value of stock killed
by running into a barbed wire fence with whic h
the company had fenced its road. The verdict
was based upon the fact that the fence was only
three and a half feet high when it should have
been four, and not upon the fact that it was of
barbed wire. The case will be appealed.

Crown Hin Cemetery Association

The annual meeting of the corporators of the
Crown Hill Cemetery Association was held yes
terday, at the office of the association, in Fletcher
g. Sharpe's building. After the reading and ap-
prevail of the reports of the officers and managers
for the past year, the following gentlemen were
reelected as managers for the ensuing year: S.
A. Fletcher, Theodore p. Haughey, William S.
Hubbard, John G. New, Nicholas McCarty,
Thomas A. Morris and William Wallace.
The corporators further directed that the
managers proceed without delay to build the
grand gateway, lodges and approaches to the
cemetery at the intersection of the Mississippi
and Illinois street %entrances.
The managers held a meeting Immediately
upon the adjournment of the corporators, and
organized the board by the election of S. A.
Fletcher as president; John c. New. treasurer;
George P. Anderson, secretary, and F. W. CHS
lett as superintendent. The managers also ap-
pointed a committee to receive plans for the
| grand gateway and approaches. 1t is the inten
ton of the board to make this gateway an orna-
ment to the cemetery and equal to any in the
country for its beauty and usefulness.

The Chicago Pool.

The managers Of the indianapolis roads in
terested in the trunk-line pool yesterday re-
ceived a circular from Commissioner Fink,
giving a report of the recent meeting held at
his Office. of the trunk line presidents, as to
the proposed advance in east bound rates. The
commissioner said that he had TO report that, in
accordance with the presidents agreement of
Feb. :, last. contracts for the division Of traffic
at st. Louis, Peoria and Indianapolis had now
been executed by the parties interested. and
that as far as the establishment of tariffs was
affected by the possibility of maintaining the
same, ali that could be done or that was CON
tenplated to be done to secure the future main
tenance Of tariff, had now been accomplished,
and tariffs could be established with regard to
commercial conditions solely. There were, how
ever, some other matters which should be
amended, but he believed there would be no
difficulty about them, viz: The modification of
the Chicago contract, to have it made upon the
same principle upon which the st. Louis, Peoria
and Indianapolis contracts are made, which he
thought was absolutely necessary to make it
effective.

Where the Pruning Knife Can Be Applied
Without Harm.

The question is asked, would it not be well for
railroad arrangements to call a halt for the time
being. at least, in the reduction of wages and
the discharging of needed men on the track, in
the shops and depots, to cut Town operating ex-
penses, and apply the pruning knife to other de-
partments? That some of the roads are too lavish
in their expenditures in their passenger depart
ments is quite evident. Take, for instance. their
advertising department. Thousands of dollars
are spent annually for which no value is received
by many of the roads in publishing books with
costly engravings and cuts, which are thrown
broadcast over the land regardless of their cost.
1t is stated that one road which crosses
Indiana, in the year 1883 expended 40 per cent.
of its passenger earnings in publishing and dis
tributing advertising matter. Then again keen
sighted managers will see that there are more Of
these travelling passenger agents than can be EN-
ployed at profit. Then about passenger Offices.
there is always one or two extra curb-stone
solicitors or inside men who could be dispensed
with without harm to the interests of the road.
The point made is that before there is any more
reduction of the wages Of the section men, the
platform men. the train men, or of the clerical
force, there should be some reduction made in
the heretofore undisturbed passenger depart
ment.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Iheard a very good story the other day told
by Judge Field against himself. He said the
first time he ever met Gail Hamilton was in
Washington. He had walked up to the Capitol
and in the corridor he came on a group which
included jaime G. Blaine and Miss Dodge. After
the greetings, Blaine. noticing that Field did
not evidently recognize the lady, said:
"You don't mean to say you don't know Miss
Dodge!'
Il have not that pleasure, said Field.
Permit me to introduce you. Miss Dodge,
this is Judge Field, the next President Of the
United States"
''Good Lord" said the Judge, with a depreca-
ting gesture.

Credited with Being a Shrewd Passenger
Man.

A Western passenger man writes the Journal
IF Railway Appliances, published in New York,
regarding the troubles between the roads in the
Chicago and Ohio river pool, as follows: 1.-THE
chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad has one of
the shrewdest, if not one of the Oldest general
passenger agents in the West. When 1 say
'shrewdest,' Imeanit only in the most honorable
sense. for there is not an instance, I believe,
where Mr. Hill has not lived up to the letter of
his contracts and promises. But the represent
atives Of the allied indianapolis lines have dis
covered that he knows u rat-hoie when he sees
one. 1t is not a little amusing to observe the
way in which the big roads have allowed this
little one to get the inner curve on the business.

Meeting of the Master Car-Builders.

Z. D. Carter, master car-builder of the Van
dalia, accompanied by his wife and William Van
Brunt, of Terre Haute, passed through the city
last evening en- route for Saratoga, n. Y, to at
tend the master ~car-builders national conven-
ton, which is to be a convention of more than
ordinary interest, as several important questions
are to come up for consideration. There will
come up seriously the question of the standard
go, 900 pound car" 1t is not many years since
a car of 10000 pounds carrying capacity was
considered rather a risky thing, and now in
sober earnest, so per cent. more load per car is
being considered, not as a possibility, but as a
necessary thing, to be taken care OF. To use
such cars there would needs be a general
strengthening of bridges and ~trestles, rails and
rail joints as a car of such weight means 20, 600
pounds per axle, or 10, 900 pounds per journal, on
journals that have about all they can do now to
run cool, and on axles that have the bending and
torsional strains of all degrees of compleXity and
excess. However, this may be p~racticed on the
best-built roads, as on such rails, bridges and
rail joints have to be made strong enough to
stand the dead weight of locomotives having 30,
600 pounds on axle, and an unknown hammer
blow" besides. h being the case. the question
of putting $4,000 pounds load and dead weight
in about the same length as a locomotive, need
