AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Freight Business Improvinr.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis
last week 34 more loaded cars thar in the
week ending July 6, and the entire increase
is shown to nave been In the last three
days of the week, which leads freight men
to believe that for some weeks to come
through business is to be in excess of that
of some weeks past, both east and west
bound. Eastward the shipments of live
stock are unusually heavy, in fact, heavier
than ever before known in July. Then,
cereals ar mOving eastward more freely ,and
shipments of hardwood lumber. heading
and slaves are on the increase. Westward,
the tonnage of first-class freight is large
for so early in the season, which shows
that the merchants over the West, the
Southwest and the Northwest are antlci-
pating an excellent fall trade. Shipments
of anthracite Goals to Western points, mp
ed to but little. 1t will be no
ticed that all the nO~rth-and-sOuth
lines show a handsome increase
in movement of loaded cars over either of
the years with which comparisons are made.
Without question, north-and-south lines
are doing a heavier traffic this summer than
in any former year. Shipments of grain,
provisions, ice and machinery southwark
are unusually large, ana the products or
the South, such as w-atermelons, vegetables
and fruits, are coming north in large guam
titles. Local business, more noticeably in
bound. is heavy; 1T consists largely of grain,
building material, timber in the rough, and
live stock. In some of the city depOts the
men are working overtime, which is rather
unusual IN july. Freight men, without
exception, are looking for a heavy fall traf-
tc of a local character. and considerable
improvement in through business also. so
promising are the crops along the roads
crossing the State. in ell directions. Some
freight men, however. fear that the present
disturbance in rates will temporarily check
business, as shippers may think that bot
tom rates have not been touched. Below
is given the number of cars received and
forwarded at Indianapolis in the week
ending July Is. as compared with the cor
respondinp weeks of 1883 and 1887:

The Modern MinOtaur.


Verify, there is nothing new under the
sun. In the days of long ago they kept a
monster in the Island of Crete, a cOmbina-
ton of man and bull, called the MinOtaur.
Because of an early indiscretion of the
Athcnians, in killing a member of the royal
family of Crete, Athens sent seven choice
maidens, once every nine years, to be de-
voured by the Minotaur. Mr.. Theseus finally
knocked out the insatiate monster. but
there must be such a thing as transmigra-
ton of souls, or there is a modern Minotaur
now living in Europe. Like his venerable
namesake, he is only half man. and he lives
In a labyrinth, too-a labyrinth of decayed
titles, unpaid mortgages and ramshackle
responsibility. Not once in nine years. but
several times each year. America sends over
her choice young maidens to be sacrificed
to this titled European Minotaur. He must
be fed and sustained, somehow, and our
gilt-edged girls appear doomed to appease
the monsters appetite and raise the mort
cages on his family estates. Some day, per-
haps, our girls will wish Mr.. Theseus would
come along and lay the monster out.

parties. he decided every point in favor of
the Alton road, much to the surprise of Mr..
Burrows, who thought the Alton peO-
pie unwise in selecting a Bee-line man
as arbitrator, where the western division
was involved.
The Kansas City papers have taken up
the cause of the Chicago IL Alton and the
Wabash, demanding that Kansas City be a
transfer point for everything, as Chicago is,
practically. Kansas City seems quite
coming simply a whistling post. 1t is high
time. if this method of railroading is to be
adopted. Indianapolis be made a point of
transfer of everything. 1t is fast becoming
little else han a good-sized way-station.
The more the election of Nj. f.. Ingalls,.
president, and William X. McKeen, vice.
president and general manager of the
Union Railway Company, is thought of,
the better is it liked. Said al observing
business man., and one who has had more
or less to do with railroads: Some things
will now b. DONE, one of the most important
of which is the building of the viaduct ON
Meridian street. Mr.. Ingalls, said he, lis
not afraid of litigation. He will build the
viaduct and then fight the damage suits in
the courts if the city gives him half a show.
at first met with much more opposition
than ave any of the enterprises which the
Union Railway Company has under
taken here. and in every case where
the questions in dispute went to
the courts Mr.. Ingalls, came out the
winner. The yiaduct is IN Improvement
needed. and when it is done it will be APP
preciated, and those who have the most OBJ
jected to it will be among those most
pleased after it's completion. The fact is,
Mr.. Ingall likes Indianapolis, and is dis
posed to help boom it if the city authori-
ties will back him in anything which is
reasonable, and he never asks anything
more, as is shown in his movements in Gin
cinnati. His worst enemies there admit
that he has done more to keep Cincinnati
within distance of other cities than has
any other man residing there. The Grand
Ohio bridge are both striking examples of
what one man can do who has an aggress-
i've, bold way of doing things"
