The st. Louis e San Francisco is pushing its
extensions. and within ten months the road will
be through the Indian Territory to Paris, its
Texas terminus.
The Burlington & Missouri division of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road has with
drawn from the Colorado and Utah pool, and
meeting of managers of roads interested in this
pool will be held on July To-
The petition of the brakemen on the Boston
81 Providence railroad for an increase of pay
from ST.. 80 to So per day has been granted SUI
perintendent Folsom informed the petitioners
that the increase had been decided on by the
company before the petition was received
German engineers have succeeded in diminish
ing the swaying in locomotives, and with it the
wear Of the rear driver fanges, by making the
tender coupling more or less rigid latsrally, and,
indeed. four wheeled locomotives have been used
on some roads for line engines by having heavy
shoot-bolss either side entering sockets on the
tender, in this way preventing either vertical or
horizontal swaying.
The first of five locomotives of an entirely new
design was turned out of the machine shops of
the Reading Railroad Company, at Reading, yes
terday, and immediately proceeded trial
trip. The new engines are of the Wootten pat
ent, and are intended for the Bound Brook divs
ion. Five of the same kind are being construct
ed at the Baldwin locomotive works. Philadel-
phia. 1t is claimed that the locomotives can
maintain a speed of sixty miles an hour, draw
ing six to eight passenger coaches.
The Philadelphia Record says: "No man in
Pennsylvania has done more to retard the de-
veopment of its industrial interests than has
Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, whose monumental
failure in the management of the Reading rail
road has wrought far greater injury than the
mere depreciation of the securities of that cor
poration. But when his opponents publish to
the world that he has refused an offer OF $25 600
pany, under the plan of reorganization as pro-
posed by the Morgan syndicate, and gave as an
excuse that he is at work 'on a heaven sent
errand, they procure for him an exalted place in
the sympathies of the luckless stockholders OF
the road The Record seems to have changed
somewhat in its opinion of late. But short
time ago it was the monopolistic Pennsylvania
road which was the cold blanket on Pennsylva-
MAS business interests.

The Wabash Wreck.

Below is statement of the roads which have
been dropped or which have broken loose from
the Wabash system since the present receivers
took hold: 1.-THE Council Bluffs g. ST. Louis,
from Pattonsburg, Mo-. to Council Bluffs, Ia,
143 miles, was surrendered to Thomas McKis-
sock, receiver March T. 1886, and has since been
operated by him. During the reeeivership there
was Only slight excess of earnings over ex
penses, but it is claimed the road was not al
lowed the full amount of the traffic guarantee
under which it was built as the Wabash line to
Omaha from ST Louis. and that with that al
lowance it would be able to make much better
showing. The bondhoiders now depositing
their bonds with view to foreclosure and re-
organization an independent company The
first line to be surrendered was the Cairo division
from Danvle to Cairo, which has Deen operated
by A. j. Thomas, receiver, since April 81 1885.
The Clarinda & st. Louis, from Roseberry, Mo-.
| to Clarinda, Ia, twenty one and one half miles,
was given up TO Thomas McKlsson, receiver,
April %, and eight days afterward the St
Joseph 81 st. Louis. from North Lexington TO
ST. Joseph, seventy -six miles, was surrendered.
A. j. Thomas, receiver, was given the Cham
paign, Havana & Western, 40 miles long, from
Urbana to Havana, and from White Heath to
Decatur, ILL.,, May 7, and it has since been
operated by him for the trustees Of tbs first
mortgage bonds. The same officials received
into their control June / the Havana, Rantoul
g. Eastern. seventysix miles long, from
Williamsport, Ind, to Leroy, III, and
on the 18th the trustees of tho first mortgage
bonds of the Toledo. Peoria & Western
began to operate on II sir own account their
line of PAT miles from the Indiana and Illinois
State line to Warsaw, ILL.,, and Burlington. Ia.
1t has since been earning about half the interest
on it's first mortgage bouds, and is likely ulti-
mately to fall into the hands of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy after it has been fore
closed The Indianapolis. Peru e. Chicago,
from Indianapolis to Michigan City, was given
TO two receivers, one for the seventy three
miles from Peru to LaPorte, and another for
the remaining lightweight miles. The Centre
vile. Moravia 81 Abba, twenty four miles from
Centreville to Abba was given over Feb. Is,
1885, to Thomas Thatcher, receiver, who had
already. on July /, 1885, taken the Missouri,
Iowa & Nebraska. 143a miles long. from Keokuk
to Van Vert. Iowa. The Quincy, Missouri &
Pacific from West Quincy to Trenton. has been
foreciosed upon suit of the first mortgage bond
holders" The receivers alleged that everyone
of these roads was operated at loss under the
contracts with the Wabash. Nevertheless. with
but one or two exceptions, each of the roads
which have gone out of the system are doing a
good business. and surprising the friends of the
properties with the volume of business and
earnings therefrom.

In the last weeks number of Bradstreet a
lengthy article appears concerning new bridge
over the Arthur Kill, in opposition to the Balti-

Jersey Junction railroad within the city limits
of Jersey City. together with its proposed con.

engineering. The proposed route is from Wee

will form a connecting line for the various lines
centering in Jersey City. In brief, the move
looks ike one designed by the West Shore. Del

Gunpowder and the Fourth of July.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Is the Journal oblivious to the fact that "gun-
powder in the air. is consequent upon the pa
triotism so inseparably connected with the small
boy, fre-cracker and cannon-cracker, in his
patriotic (q) celebration of Independence Day2
And what is the violation of the ordinance
against explosives" to the necessity of said small
boy having one day in the year of racket, noise
aud hubbub, for the purpose of proving to older
humanity that the memories of the origin of
that day is already burned into his hearth And
what are the desirabilities for quiet Sunday to
the satisfaction of knowing that young America
is not oblivious to the deeds of their forefather
and which creates In that youth desire to per-
petuate the memories of those deeds in the
smoke and noise of the fire-craeker and cannon
crackers If the Journals patriotism is so weak
as to prefer the enforcement of the law against
those explosions on the Fourth, it might be
strengthened by referring to some pulpit utter
ances on tho Sunday following the Fourth of
last year. And if the patriotism of that juve
nile and his re-cracker-especially his cracker
was so commendabe on that Saturday, what
course of reasoning can be adduced to show that
it was at fault yesterday Away with all law,
that the small boy can have racket. and noise,
and hubbub in his patriotism (l) on Independ-
ence Day
Why, a barely four-year-old specimen of
young America came down stairs yesterday
morning rubbing his eyes, and called out
hGrandpa, this is the Fourth of July. We
ought to have some fre-crackers to-day

The Earnings Not Seriously Affected.


While the freight-rate war between the North
western lines seems to increase rather than d.
minish in bitterness, it is noticeable that for
the third week of June all the granger roads
showed increase of earnings over the same
week last year, and the earnings for the St. Paul
for the fourth week in June, stated at 5000 0O0
were at an average per day of $73, 222, against
SCI, 42e per day last week. For the month of
June the earnings were 81, 064, 900, at the rate
of $685. 500 per day. against $57,O32 per day in
May, $3.50 per day in April, and compared
with 500. 200 per day in June of last year. From
this it would appear that the earnings are kept
up either by the transportation of construction
material or by an increase of business induced
by low rates. If the latter is the case the per-
centage of net earnings viii be very much less
than last year. notwithstanding the increase in
the gross. If the increase is from construction
material it is deceptive and transient But even
aside from this, the increase of June earnings
will still leave the net earnings of all the granger
roads for the half year to July less than last

From the above exhibit it will be seen that
the movement of June 1886, exceeded that of
the corresponding week 1885. but fell short of
the movement in 1880, 1881 and 1884. 1t will
be noticed, however, that the total movement
this year exceeds that of either of the preceding
six years except 1884 In June, this year, q
per cent of the cars handled were empty, which
is a considerably larger per cent. than usual.
