Comprehends the Situation.

NJ Il. Doherty, commissioner of the Indian
apolis east-bound pool, who believes in railroads
getting some remuneration for services rendered
says just SO long the present low freight rates
prevail, just so long will the business of the
country be depressed, as the roads are not earn
ing enough to enable them to make improve
ments to their road-beds and equipments; conse-
quently locomotive works, car works, rolling
mills and bridge building establishments most of
them are idle and in turn all other classes of
manufacturers are unfavorably affected or in
other words, Mr.. Doherty says when the rail
roads are prosperous the wheels of all industries
are set in motion

Miscellaneous Notes.

The threatened strike on the Crank Trunk
road has blown over
The average operating expenses Of the seven
roads leading out of Boston were in 1884 60 43
per cent. Of the gross receipts
1t is stated that the complications arising from
heavy rebates given to San Francisco merchants
just before the new transcontinental tariff went
into effect is causing much trouble and annoy
ance to the Pacific Coast freight agents.
The Conotton road will be sold under fore
closure of the mortgage today and meeting
for reorganization will be held about thirty days
thereafter The road is now earning about per
cent on its equipment and terminal debt.
Commencing with May "a the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern is to run the fastest train in
the world. 1t is the New York and Chicago
limited express, which will run between Buffalo
and Chicago in fourteen hours and Eve minutes
The line of the California Southern that is be-
ing built from the Moiave branch of the Atlantic
& Pacific to a junction with the completed road
to San Bernaulino, will, according to the state
ments of the engineers, be completed by Nov. /.
The trunk line passenger agents in San Fran
cisco endeavored to form money pool of all the
business done to be divided a percentage.
After an agreement was reached the plan was
referred for ratification to the Eastern man
ayers. The scheme fell through however and
Il rate war is now raging.
The Sacramento Record of May 4 says: 1.-THE
California g. Oregon freight train of thirty five
cars got stalled about mile from RosevilIe,
when coming to the city on Wednesday night, in
consequence of the number of grasshoppers that
had collected on the track. 1t was found neces
sary to cut the train in two, take part to Rose
vile and then go back after the remainder
The Boston Advertiser says the roads which
went into receivership last year, and those
which have done so thus far this year, represent
a combined capital of $3l2, 592, OO0 IF it be
assumed that onehaf of this will be wiped out
in reorganizing the loss of sl6I 296 900 in year

The Trunk-Line and Ohio RiverRools.

CHICAGO May 8.-The joint agent of the
bound pool lines received a dispatch from
Commissioner Fink to-day, saying that he had
received advices from Montreal that the notice
of withdrawal from the pool by the Grand
Trunk had been Iescinded, and that the road
would continue to report its business to the
pool.
The managers of the roads in the Ohio river
pool met to-day, and decided to continue the
existing freight rates. and to make weekly state
ments of business done, similar to those now
made in the east-bourd trunk-line pool.
At their meeting to-day, the managers agreed
upon general system of pools but when the
question of mill stuffs in transit was reached
they were unable to arrive at settlement, and
adjourned There is impression in railroad
circles that an adjustment of differences may be
reached tomorrow, and the proposed pools put
into effect.

Reduction of Live Stock Rates.

CHICAGO, May S.-Advices received here last
evening state that the trunk-lines have decided
reduce the rates cattle to the basis of thirty
cents from Chicago to New York, and on sheep
to forty cents. The reduction is to be effective
from May /. 1885. The regular rate on cattle
has been forty cents, and on sheep fifty cents.
These rates, however, were not maintained, and
for this reason the reduction has been ordered
by the trunk-lines. The above reduction carries
with it corresponding reduction on dressed
beef rates, which are Is per cent of cattle rates

Olden Times Railroadiuc.

The mentioning of the fast time made over
the Bee-line under the presidency of John
Brough recalls numerous incidents to old-time
railroaders On one occasion he called his
master mechanics into his Office and abruptly
said II will give you week to put two engines
calling them by name, Sin shape to haul those
trains through on time after that date. If they
do not do it, shall demand your resignation"
Another time he had conceived the idea that one
of the engineers was timid, he called him into
his Office and said: 'John, if you want to stay
on this road you must bring that train in on
time hereafter The engineer spoke of the
dition of the track as being unsafe for SO high
speed. President Brough, with an oath,
said: Bring your train in on time
or ditch her" At one time the
Little Miami run in connection with the Bee
line between Columbus and Cincinnati the
former wrote Mr.. Brough that passengers were
complaining of the high speed at which he run
his trains, thinking it was unsafe. He answered
that his fastest trains had the fewest accidents,
and backed his statement by showing the num-
Der of accidents that had happened to slow
trains as compared with the fast trains.

there was to be no more dillydallving as to push

financially, had now taken hold of the
road. He will to-day return to New
York, and after a brief time,
come back to Indianapolis to get the bonds
properly signed by John c. New as trustee. He
was quito sanguine that construction work
would be commenced in earnest within the next
thirty days. The general tenor of President

were present at the meeting, certainly indicates
that this heretofore much talked is really to be

The old mans face had twitchcd

completion he completely broke down
and sobbed like a child. Becoming
more composed, he said, pleadingly:
'If were to tell you that father had
repented and instituted vigilant search,

DON'T FORGET THE BABY.


Don't forget TO kiss the baby
Ere you hasten on your way;
IT'S trifle to remember,
But twill brighten all your day.
1t will linger In your presence,
To encourage aud to bless,
And you'll wonder at the magic
In baby's soft caress.
Don't forget to kiss the baby
Where the laughing dimples grow;
Cheek or chin, or pearly lashes,
Whence the fearful dewdrops flow.
Wrestle with the little darling,
For its blessings, as OF old
Jacob wrestled with the angel,
Nor will It the gift withhold.
Don't forget to kiss the baby,
Heed those little pleading hands;
Give IL OF loves dainty service
All the food its soul demands.
Ali time will not always linger,
Babyhood is but span,
Years may change or death may hover,
Kiss the baby while you can.
Refrain.
Don't forget to kiss the baby,
Life Is full of toll and fret;
Take the sweet before the bitter,
Don't forget, don't forget.
