THE RAILROADS.
Renewal of the Blockade on the
Western Roads.
The Freight Agents Again Instructed
Not to. Cut Rates.
Another Large Falling Off in the East-
Bonnd Traffic.
THE NEW BLOCKADE.
The new snow-blockade of the Northwest
reached a climax yesterday morning with
disastrous results to the Rock Island, the
Illinois Central, and the Northwestern
Roads. -The Milwaukee & St. Paul also suf
fered from it, but received the reimburse
ment principally at points where shoveiers
and snow-plows were still bucking against
the old drifts, and so, as trains had not yet
resumed at these points, they were not inter
fered with, but it places the time when they
will be enabled’ to resume much, further on.
The Northwestern Road received the snow
fall chiefly on its Wisconsin Division, be
tween Desplaines and Janesville, and on its
lowa Division from Clinton to Council Bluffs.
The storm began with a rain, which changed
to snow Friday night, about eight incites
falling on a level in the region of Cedar
Rapids. But it was hard to tell just how
deep the snow-fall was, as a terrific wind ac
companied it Yesterday mprning, though,
the storm ceased entirely or the snow
changed to rain again; and, the snow-plows
being put to work promptly, it is thought
that to-day will find tho tracks comparatively
clear again. The Northwestern train due at
2:15 yesterday afternoon will not get here
until this morning. The Wisconsin No. 4.
due at 0:30 yesterday afternoon, was three
hours late. The train that left Council Bluffs
for Chicago Friday night had to suspend at
Boone, la., and will not reacli Ciiicago until
this afternoon. The prospects were so prom
ising last night, however, that ail regular
trains were started out as usual.
The Illinois Centra) was completely
blocked on the whole of its lowa Division
and on about one-third of its Northern Di
vision, there being terrible drifts at Mendota,
where the Illinois Central crosses the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy. The through
trains to and from Dnmtque had to be aban
doned, the one that left Ciiicago Friday
night gettjig only as far as Aurora, 111. The
road stopped receiving freight for the North
west yesterday morning. No train started
for Dubuque from Ciiicago yesterday.
On the Rock Island Road, the Omaha train
due iiere at 0 o’clock yesterday morning bad
to be abandoned between Davenport and
Marengo. The train due from the West at
2:45 yesterday afternoon was three bouts
late. The news came last night that the
snow was being fast melted by rain, and ac
cordingly the Rock Island sent trains out
from liere yesterday, as though there was no
blockade.
The Ciiicago, Burlington «& Quincy did not
suffer much from the blockade. The train
due here at 7 o’clock yesterday morning
from Omaha was three hours late, but this
was the greatest" delay, and none of tho
trains stopped running.
CUTTING FREIGHT KATES,
Day before yesterday, there was a meeting
in New York of the Joint Executive Commit
tee of the trunk-line pool, whicli meeting
was held in Commissioner Fink’s office, and
was for the purpose of putting a stop to the
cutting of rates on cast and west bound
freights. Commissioner Fink stating that the
cuts had ■ been carried on to such an
extent as to produce confusion and
general demoralization. Indeed, a pros
pective freight-war was talked of. The
meeting was largely attended, and an
amicable adjustment of freight rates was
finally readied. Accordingly the General
Freight Agents of the various trunk lines
represented were instructed by telegraph as
to what rates they should charge after to
day. The Chicago agents met yesterday
afternoon in the office of Mr. It. C. Meldrum,
General Western Freight Agent, to com
pare notes as to the instructions referred to
and see that there should be no conflict
There were present at the meeting: Alex
ander Mackay, ot the Michigan Central;
Frank Harriott, of the Baltimore & Ohio;
D. T. McCabe, of. the Pan-Ilaudle; Charles
W. Randall, of the Fort Wayne: and Messrs.
Chase and Howe, of the Lake Shore and
Grand Trunk, respectively. The meeting
yesterday was a smooth one, as there were
no differences to be adjusted. The. rates
which eacli road had been instructed
to charge were the same and were not dif
: ferent from the existing rates, except that
the rates on live stock and dressed meats,
between Chicago and points east were re
duced five and eight cents, respect
ively, per 100 pounds, as follows;
Cattle, horses, mules, and sheep—from
Chicago to New York and Boston, (50 cents;
to Philadelphia, 5S cents; to Baltimore, 51
cents: to Albany, 53 cents; Buffalo, Suspen
sion Bridge, Pittsburg, Wheeling, and Bal
timore. 'SI)4 cents; to Erie, 25 cents. There
was no change in the rates on live hogs, and
there was no change in rules regarding the
minimum weight’per car. The rates on
dressed meats were reduced to SO cents from
Chicago to New' York and Boston, to 7S cents
from Chicago to Philadelphia, and 77 cents
from Chicago to Baltimore.
The meeting of the Southwestern Railway
Association Freight Agents day before yes
terday proved to have been, as was surmised
by The Tribune yesterday, for the purpose
of adjusting some little differences and com
pleting the arrangement with the North
western Road as regarded the Colorado trade.
It had been said that some of the lines in the
Southwestern pool had been cutting rates,
but tins was denied by the agents, and it was
agreeably arranged that rates should remain
the same, and that everything should go on
as before.
EAST-BOUND FREIGHT.
The snow-blockade on the Western roads
during the past ten days created a decided
falling off in the volume of east-bound
freights from this city, and in the main re
stricted shipments to those directly originat
ing in tills city. The total shipments for
the week ending March 5 were 38,360 tons;
those for the week ending yesterday amount
ed to 31,355 tons, a falling off of 7,234 tons.
There was a drop of nearly 33,000 barrels
of flour, a falling off of about 1.200 tons of
grain, and a decrease of 2,700 tons of pro
visions. The following shows the east-bound
tonnage of each road for Uie week ending
yesterday:

yesterday telegraphed a friend of ids in this
city saying that the dispatches were all
wrong and placed him in a very unpleasant
light; he had not been offered any position
by the Colorado Southern, and did not say
that he had to any one.
ALL WRONG,
A purported morning paper announced
yesterday that “Mr. C. D.Gorham, Assistant
General Manager” of the Fort Wayne Koad,
would probably sever his connection with
the Company. Mr. C. D. Gorham is the Su
perintendent of the Western Division." Mr.
C. E. Gorham, who is the Assistant
General Manager, stated to a Tiubune
reporter yesterday that he had not
the slightest intention of leaving the Com
pany. Tile same sheet also announced that
“Mr. John D. Allen, Mr. MyeFs ticket agent
here,” would likewise probably quit the
Company, and that Mr. O. P. Myers, the ad
vertising agent, had severed his connection
witli the Company when Messrs. Griggs and
Willard became the General Western Solicit
ors. Mr. O. P. Myers is the Advertising
Agent of the companv to-day, and Mr. John
C. Allen—not John D.‘Allen-is the secretary

ers, and, Mr. Gorham stated yesterday, had
not yet talked of leaving the Company.
ITEMS,
It is estimated’that the consumption of
rails for 18S1 will be 935,000 tons for new
roads and’6so,ooo tons for.the renewal of old
roads.
General Ticket and Passenger Agent F. R.
Myers, of the. Fort Wayne, did not return
from New York yesterday, as expected, but
will arrive tonlay.
Mr. Marcellus Hopkins has been appointed
Assistant-Superintendent of the Galena
Division of the Northwestern Road, the ap
pointment to take effect to-morrow.
The railroad officials who returned from
Springfield yesterday, where they had gone
as witnesses before the Warehouse Investi
gating Committee, complained bitterly that
they Itad been forced to waste so much time
from business, waiting two nr three days be
fore being called upon to testify.
Last week the towboat Oakland, of the St.
Louis & New Orleans Transportation Com
pany, left‘St. Louis with the largest ship
ment of grain ever made from St. Louis. It
consisted of 2(13,000 bushels of corn and 90,-
000 bushels of wheat and was contained in
eight barges. Which is pretty fair for a
small town.
Among the hardest worked men in railroad
service, as a usual thing, are the attorneys
geueral, and their duties are yearly becom
ing more and more laborious, as railroad
managements are more inclined to trust them
with important cases than in years post; and,'
instead of going outside mid employing legal
talent at a cost of §5,000, possibly §20,000, on
some single case, they turn tho matter en
tirely into the hands of the attorney-gener
al of tile road. The salaries vary from §3,000
to §IO,OOO a year, but it is much less expense
to the railroad companies to employ an able
lawyer for such a position than to pay the
enormous legal fees which outside talent
often demands.
Mr. J. M. llannaford. General Freight
Agent of the Northern Pacific Road, wits in
Chicago yesterday on a brief visit. It is ex
pected that unusual progress will be made
in tlie comingseasonintheconstructionof the
Northern Pacific. The Company is .well
supplied with money and are making exten
sive preparations for pushing forward the
work of construction. Rails to the amount
of over 50,000 tons have been purchased,
40,000 tons of which are steel, to be delivered
on the line during the summer. There lias
also been purchased, for the use of the com
pleted road, thirty-two locomotives and 1,750
additional freight cars. It is now promised
that the road will be opened from Glendive,
up the Yellowstone River, to Miles City, a
distance of 700 miles, in July of tills year.
Illinois is not tne only State that has a Leg
islature endeavoring to regulate passenger
fares. The Massachusetts Legislature lias
before it such a bill, Die points of which are:
First, no railroad corporation whose road ex
ceeds five miles in length shall charge or re
ceive exceeding three cents per passenger
per mile; second, no railroad corporation
whose road exceeds ten-miles in length, and
that has .paid an annual dividend of 4 per
cent or more, and less than (i per cent for the
past two years upon its capital stock, shall
charge or receive more than two and one-half
cents per passenger per mile; third, no rail
road corporation whose road exceeds ten
miles in length, and that has paid an annual
dividend of 0 per cent or more for the past
two years upon its capital stock, shall charge
or receive more than two cents per passenger
per mile. Fifty dollars is the penalty fixed
for eacli offense where the law is not com
plied with.
It is very aggravating to a St. Louis man
to pass by the immense works of the Pull
man Palace-Car Company near Ciiicago, with
their surroundings village of comfortable
and attractive houses that have sprung up in
the prairie as if by magic, lie cannot fail to
be impressed with the extent of the works,
the size of the magnificent buildings, and
the arrangements so carefully made for the
health of the employes. It is, in fact, a large
town, all built up wliere'a year ago was only
a broad field of vacant ground. What dis
pleases the St. Louis spectator is the thought
that his city might have had these works if
its citizens had only been more enterprising
and liberal. But no, the old fogies who
owned the required land asked double price
tor it as soon as it was suspected that the
Pullman Company wanted it, and we lost the
plum. Selfishness is an effectual damper to
progress, and where individuals care noth
ing either for others or for the city in which
they live, that city is pretty sure not to grow.
This is the reason St. Louis has been out
stripped by Ciiicago. If tho foolkiller was
abroad in the land we fear that some of our
people would suffer. —Rnilway Register.
A few years ago a member had introduced
in a State Legislature a bill concerning rail
roads, exceedingly harsh and oppressive in
its provisions, and was making in its support
an eloquent and terribly bitter speech. No
language seemed strong enough to express
his detestation of tho tortuous iniquities of
railroads, and lie particularly referred in
Slowing terms to the wicked practices of the
ungtowu Railroad. The President of this
line and one of his friends, a wily Scotch
man, sat in the gallery listening to the scuttl
ing denunciations of his road, and expressed
some concern over the prospect of the bill
going through. “Ah, man,” said the friend,
“Brown (the orator) only wants to be at
torney for your road, and ail you need do is
to interview him.” The President called
that night at thestatesmau’s apartments, and
it was noticed that Brown immediately lost
all interest in his bill, and even privately dis
couraged it, so that it never was again taken
up. But Brown became attorney for the
Bungtown Railroad within ten days after the
Legislature had adjourned. This anecdote
explains many things otherwise seeming
strange.—Ex.

of nicking" horses, which practice had been

condemning the nicking of horses, been guilty

* hole just above the combination In the door
of the safe, filled in some powder, and blew the
doors clear oil the hinges. There was no cash
or valuables In the safe, and the thieves, after
thoroughly ransacking the papers, went their
way. An insurance-policy is tho only thing
missed, and five other policies were found upon

BUSINESS-NOTICES,
Arcnd Kiirays»-PPor. E. IH. Hale In
a communication to The Tribune says:
“Kumyss should be the reliance of the phy
sician in ail those cases of debility in
which prompt Improvement of the general tone
is imperative. Kumyss is tho blandest and most
easily digested food, and as such the best nour
isbment for a weak stomach: at the same time,
through the process of fermentation which
Kumyss undergoes, medicinal qualities are de
veloped which wo vainly look for in materia
medica. In nausea, vomiting, extreme eases of
dyspepsia, Kumyss acts like n charm, promptly
relieving all tho distressing symptoms of such
cases. When the stomach rejects all else,
Kumyss is retained and assimilated, affording
the patient nourishment, strength, and comfort,
and, as a logical consequence, nervous
ness ceases and refreshing sleep follows.
In scarlet, intermittent, gastric, and
typhoid fever, I prefer Kumyss as the exclus
ive diet. It satisfies thirst and hunecr ana allays
the fever. Kumyss has considerably tho ad
vantage over drugs, in that it never can do
harm. To dose an irritable stomach with drugs
is an absurdity which no Intelligent physician
attempts in this day. But not only in extreme
cases should Kumyss be resorted to; It should bo
the chief remedy for a weak stomach under all
circumstances- Tho dyspeptic brain-worker

his digestion and his nerve force. Ladles would

WHAT DOES NOT CURE.
Header, do you believe the stupid assumption that
“ Catarrh will yet well of Itself?” That “It Is a trlv-
Inlsinalr?” That “ You will outgrow it?” Or that it
may be cured by “snulllng.” “injecting.” or “inhal
ing” the impotent nostrums of some medical
mountebanks'; Act upon this belief, if you will, if
you have not already. Try “ Cnriarrh snuffs.” and
“solutions.” and “remedies,” and “snecifics,” and
“ radical cure,”—try these thoroughly, faithfully, to
your heart’s content; und when they all shall have
failed,—for they will fail,—then listen. If yon will, to
the stereotyped and hackneyed advice of “A visit to
the country”; “ A change of climate”; “A sea voy
age"; “A promised return of health in the spring”;
etc. Hut, in truth, the country referred tots that
which lies beyond the confines of the grave, und the.
spring is the season that blooms eternal, when life's
haul fever is done.
NOT A DAY PASSES
but people who come to me for consultation begin
the interview with a recital of how much they have
paid for “snuffs,” and “ solutions” and “ cigarettes,”
and “ radical cures.” until, “ without getting any bet
ter,” they have “lost all confidence in everything.”
.Now, that sort of information is deeply interesting
to me, in view of the fact that for the last twenty-five
years, through the public press of this country. I have
continually reiterated the statement that “ these so
called catarrh remedies ” . .
NEVER CURED ANYBODY;
in fact, they have no hearing upon the complaint
whatever. Catarrhal matter Is an excretion from im
poverished blood. Chemical analysis and microscop
ic examination reveal what elements arc deficient in
. the blood of the catarrhal subject; to restore those
elements in the same relative proportions in which
they exist in the blood when' healthy. Is to cut off the
source from whence the local discharge springs, and
to effectually and absolutely eradicate the disease
from the system. And there is just where the Ra
tional treatment differs from that laid down in the
books, and practiced by medical men and medical
mountebanks, from one end of this country to the
other: the treatment that Cures is not Alterative, but
Restorative.
MOTOPATHIC MEDICINES
are prepared with great care, are chemically pure,
pleasant to take, gentle in their action, and readily
eliminated from the system. leaving it free of blood
po.son, with increased and equalized functional ac
tivity.
