Quite a Tumble in Freight Traffic.


The train records show that last week there
were 442 fewer loaded cars handled at this point
than in the week ending Sept. s. The Decline
and l., B. & W. drop behind in their east-bound
movement. while the c., H. & l. and c., st. L.
81 P. show slight increase. There is more old
corn going forward than ten days ago, while
shipments of oats have fallen off largely. Ship
ments of wheat to the seaboard and also of -four
have not for many years been so light as this
season. Westward the tonnage continues
heavy. although lighter last week than in the
weeks ending Aug. 20 and Sept. g. This is
probably due 20 the fact that the scare over
prospective advance in west-bound rates has
died away. The east and west-bound tonnage
is heavy enough however, when it is considered
at what ruinously low rates freights are carried.
North and south roads are doing well, although
not the volume of business they were doing at
the corresponding period of 1884. The less ia
vorable exhibit this year is in a great measure
due to the lighter movement of lumber and
coal, more especially the former Not for years
have shipments of lumber been as light as in
1885. Local business through August and thus
far in September has been heavier than in either
of three preceding years at the corresponding
period. At nearly all the city freight depots
clerks and platform men are working nightly
overtime, and on Sunday, we'll, and that
tariff rates nearer adhered to this year is,
without doubt, true. Below is given the num-
Der of cars received and forwarded at this point
in the week ending Sept. r. as compared with
the corresponding week of 1884:

Early Railroading.

understood, that railroad presidents of the pres

nounce TO the public, and especially travellers
and business men, that the line will be kept in
operation for the conveyance OF travellers and
freight every day IN the week except Sundays,
and under the personal care of experienced and
attentive men. 1t will be the ambition of the
company that the high reputation of the railroad

attention will be given to the
comfort of travellers, and the careful and prompt
delivery of freight The directors have estab-
lished tariff of tolls for all the leading points
from Madison to Columbus, upon scale as low,
it is believed, as any road in the West. and
which is so arranged AS to encourage and facil-
itate the trade and expectation of the surplus of

T:le Future of the Ohio Central.

The Ohio Central road will be sold under a de-
cree of the court on the 22d of October. The
arrangement is for the first bondholders to buy
it in. reorganiz it and operate it. The road was
formerly composed of two divisions, one extend
ing from Charleston, w. Va. to Corning o., a
distance of i27 miles. From Charleston the road
follows the Great Kanawha to its mouth at
Point Pleasant. where it crosses the Ohio over
magnificent bridge. This bridge is also in litiga-
lion and will be sold on Oct Is 1t will become

peake & Ohio road following the left
bank of the Great Kanawha. This is beyond
the navigabe portion of the river, and bridge
will be built across the river or the falls. Con-
nections might be made at Charleston, but it
would require special act of Congress to build
the bridge This will give a good connection to
the seaboard at Newport News over the Chesa-
peake 81 Ohio. or will allow the easy shipment
of freights to the South and Southwest over the
same road. The Ohio River road is also build
ing to Point Pleasant, and its completion will
open mp the whole upper Ohio valley The ex-
tension up TIE Gauley river will not be made by
the Ohio Central company but it will be done
by another organi cation, as it is most reliable
section of country, and it must be opened up
very soon.

THE lNDlANAPOLlS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is REQ
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
TEE JOURNAL was never so well equipped
to servo the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are mora
complete than ever and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper il Iudi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports Of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the county at large. We have
special resident representative at Washington
City. who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full.
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns
free from party bias impartially, and without
restraint
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repub-
lican paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day Of blind party organ
ship has passed. and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured Of seeing in the columns Of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news and in its editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. Ii
may also be said that THEJOURNALis pub
lished as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec
ognizes that the women and the children are
to be instructed and entertained. They viii
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be SO
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented ir
such shape as to minimize the evil, and itE
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accu.
rate printed by any newspaper in the country.
