The engineers of the Pennsylvania Schuylkill
Valley railroad state that the most serious OBJ.
stacles to the speedy completion of the line are
two heavy cuts at Schuylkill Haven and Port
Clinton. In the meantime the tracks are being
laid up to these points from either end. and it is
thought that the line will be in operation to the
junction with the Lehigh Valley railroad at New
Boston by the LIST of September.
B. F. Coats. receiver, speaking of the Cincin-
natl & Eastern, to a reporter of the Pittsburg
Dispatch, said that the road was fast working
out of its difficulties, and making some money.
That portion from Gallipoiis to. Portsmouth will
soon be completed. This lie the road to meet

President Adams of the Union Pacific, tele-
graphs from Boston that there is no truth in the
Wal-street rumors of a new issue of bonds; that
-
500 or 600 miles of new branches, and to issue
bonds in proportion to the new mileage, on the
same plan as other railroads. The branches are
probably considered necessary to save valuable
territory which would otherwise soon be occ u
pied by competing roads.
The Board of New York Railroad Commits
sioners has designated June 16 on which to test
as many-patent railroad brakes as may be pre-
sented for that purpose. The experiments will
be made at the East Albany yards of the Cen
trail railroad, beginning at 10 A. M. According
to a law passed in 1884 the od-fashioned link
and pin coupling must not be used in the con-
struction of freight intended for use in that
State. Hereafter automatic couplers must be
used. It is to decide which of the thousands
now patented are best that this test is to be
made.
The funded debts of the roads in the States of
New York, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland are an average of $54, 900 per mile;
in the New England States about &23, 900 per
mile and in the Western States about 1926, 900
per mile. and after these funded debts come the
capital stocks, ranging from over $50, 600 per
mile in the Middle Atlantic States to $25, 900 per
mile in the Western States. In past years, up
to year or two ago, many Of tine roads were
really paying from TO per cent on double
their cost, or at the rate of from IL to Is per
cent on the amount which would duplicate the
properties This is what has induced the build
ing of parallel lines in the last few years, and is
now making the great expansion Of the princi-
pal Western railroad systems.

Vice-president Potter, of the Chicago, Bur-
ilngton q Quincy was in Boston again Wednes-
day in conference with the directors of his road.
The Cleveland Leader says: after his tour over
the Bee-line he went directly to New York and
since then has been in frequent consultation with
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and from New York he
went to Boston. The answer of Mr. Potter to
the offer of the Bee-line presidency Is expected
daily, if indeed it has not already been made.
The directors of the Burlington road have been
apprised of Mr.. Potter's offer, and have made
overtures to induce him to retain his present

Inc boston q Albany mas acted very cev-
erly in arranging the time table OF its early
morning train out Of Albany for Boston so that
it hauls the Boston coach on train No. 10 out of
Indianapolis over the Decline, which enables
passengers to leave here at ESQ Am. and reach
Boston at A. NJ. next morning. This will be
the popular train ont of St Louis, as it leaves
there in the evening, but the big train for Indi-
annapolis people is the limited out of Indianapolis
at 4:35 P. NJ This lands passengers in New
York on good time, but there is lay-over at
Albany, N. Y, for New England passengers,
which should be avoided il possible. Passen-
gers on this train should be landed in Boston at
10 P. NJ. next evening.
Stock Of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleve
land road is running upwards brskly. The ad-
vance is said to be due to favorable decision
in the suit against the Indiana Bloomington &
Western road, to which the Sandusky is leased.
Prior to the lease of the Sandusky system to the
l.. B. & w. for 33 1-3 per cent of the gross
earnings, the southern portion, from Dayton
and Springfield, was leased to the Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis for 35 per
cent of the gross earnings. When the l. B. &
w. began paying rental it gave the Sandusky
only 81 l-3 per cent. of the 30 per cent, instead
of SO 13 per cent. of the entire gross earnings
of that portion of the road, and the Sandusky
road sued to recover the difference, amounting
to some $50, 900 $50, 900 per year and to about
$3.50, 900 from the beginning to date.
