AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
An Old Railroad Project Revived.

An OlQ fsdihTOtu EEtJttt Itefiftus
An important meeting of men of enter
prise and capital was held in Logansport
yesterday to take the initial steps to organ
ize n company to build a road from Logans-
port to Indianapolis, taking as their route
one of the lines over which the Pennsyl-
vania Company once proposed to build.
The road will be sixty-two miles in length,
against seventy-6ve miles, the shortest
route now operated between the two points.
The parties to the enterprise state that
they have been offered ample aid to carry
through their project should they take hold
of IL. Ii Is proposed to make 1t the In
dianapolis division of the Terre Haute o.
LoganspOrt road, or OF the NandalIa from
the north. 1t would make the short line
between South Bend and this city, and
also the most direct line from the lumber
regions of north Michigan. through a con-
nection with the Vandalia. President Nc
Kean and others interested in the Sandalia
express themselves as pleased with the
project, but have not as yet promised any
financial backing TO the enterprise, but ex-
press a willingness to work with them after
the road is completed. one who attended
the meeting was at the Bates House last
evening. and said that there was no ques-
ton as TO the road being built and trains
running over it within the next fourteen
months.
The Period of Rapid Construction.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-At the end of 1888,
according to advance sheets of Poor's
Manual for 1889, the aggregate length of all
lines in the county was 156.OS2 miles, all
built In sixty years. the average mileage
per year being nearly 1900. The same au-
tbority. referring to the railroad construc-
tiOn wave of 1868. says the chief feature
of that period has been the extraordinary
activity displayed by the older and more
powerful corporations of the Northwest
n Southwest in the extension of their
lines, with the apparent purpose of secur-
ing a firm foothold upon every available
foot of territory contiguous to their several
systems.
The result of this policy has proved in
many instances unwise, if not disastrous.
In 1888, S207. 124, 2SS of interest was paid, an
increase; and of dividends $50. 243. 041, a de-
frease. This conclusion is arrived at:
In early days of railroads in this country, their
profits reached respectable proportions. But the
days OF large profits appear TO have passed. A
railroad which, in the future, can pay regular
dividends of , per cent per annum, viii be re-
garded In much the same light as those which
formerly paid 8 and 10 per cent, without inter
mission, for years.

POSTAL SCHEMES
New and Extensive System Of
Rapid Postal Trains,
Also Pneumatic Tubes From once Bald.
ings TO Post. .Omces.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-Captain James
Stuart Post-office Inspector, and men,
ber Of the recent post-office commission,
was shown recent dispatch from Wash
ington, concerning a new and extensive
system OF rapid postal trains and pneu-
matic tubes for Chicago. "That is
Clsrkson's pet idea. We discussed that
thoroughly during the session Of the
commission" Then, 1t can be assured
that Chicago is to have fast mail train
to San Francisco via. st. Louis, and anoth-
er to Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Atlanta
and Jacksonville, and also another, via
st. Louis, to New Orleans?" Eyes, sir,
those were the subjects discussed. As
1t is now we are compelled to depend on
the slow express trains for mail service
to these points. Another thing: The
present fast mail trains on the Burling-
ton and st. Paul roads do not make even
as good time as the regular schedule
trains to New York and those between
New York and Boston and Philadel-
phia. The scheme is to put more of
them on and make better time" "How
about the proposed pneumatic tubes
running from the big Office buildings to
the post-office?" ''Those improvements
are not very far away. A Chicago man
is now working upon them, endeavoring
to so perfect his system that we can ap
ply 1t to the postal service. Collecting
by carriers, even with horses, is too
slow. Mr.. Clarltson, tell you, is de-
termined to see a perfect mail service in
Chicago, and he will aim blow at the
district messenger and telegraph service,
which now preys upon the business pub
lie to great extent. We will do away
with these, and make the postal service
accomplish every thing needed"

She was not paid enough, however. The

livelihood with women who work only for

out articles TO 400 women to be made up At
their homes. Tw0t thirds of these women
were in no way dependent upon the money
so earned. They took their time 20 do the
work and bought ribbons and carameIs
with tho pro reeds. The most difficult and
particular pieces were given to women like
the mother here mentioned, who needed
money too sOreiy to complain OF any con-
dltiOns imposed.
One day this woman had q call from an
old friend, whose clever tug rs often de-

ST. LOUIS, Oct 2-In an interview to-

said: "As TO the statements that the
knights of Labor have been losing power
aud they have no confidence In theiE exec
utive officers, there is not word Of truth
Ia It. The order has been growing rapidly
within the past year, and the greatest
csuse Of its growth is the feeling that the
executive board is acting In manner con-

j. }. Holland, OF jacksonville, Fla.
said the whole animus Of the opposition 20
P0wderly originated in the process of
house cleaning. which we adopted some
time ago, many unruly and bad clements
being expelled. Since that time they have
been making war on the management Of
the order, but with little success In the
south the negroes are joining the order In
great numbers. There is scarcely doubt
that an alliance OF some kind wOnId be
made between the Farmers Alliance, the
Wheelers and the Knights of Labor. The
former organisations are particularly
strong in the south west. As TO the charges
Of extravag4nce on the part of Powderly
IN regard to the south western strike, that
bad been declared groundless BY author

interview with one OF the Knights of Labor,
who claimed at last nights meeting that

the secret service, was forgery. Upon
being questioned aud with the understand
Ing thas his name would not mentioned, ne
said: The names were not forgery and
when W. sigLed we did so with the under
standing that the recommendations were
to he hled in Washington for official eyes
only. But the committee betrayed us;
while we signed them for the presidents
eye. we did not sign them for the public
eye" Three other Knights of Labor also
concurred in the above story.
