In the olllce of one of tliu higher oflicials: of an eastern road a few days ago tlio character of railway employes in the different departments came up for discussion, the ground being taken that iu practically all depavtmeuts a hotter grade of men were now In service than ever before. A general man- agi-r. lo take rank fore-most, must a gold HiiaiK-ial as well as transportation man; general UMiilent must be a man well oilucati-d ablo to handle men without friction: a duperlnteiidi'nf of motive power must l.H> wi-11 educated, have an economical turn and a way of pushing business when minimi; CVIMI tin- passenger conductor, I lie baggage man aiiil the bruIonian must be woll educated ami lo long huld posiliiins.

"Taking c-very said the olHcial wlio strafed the conversation, "if a road expects vo keep iu line with its competitors it must have the best of talent at the head of the dopavunit-nts and woll informed men iu the subordinate positions." An engineer of mnln- tensinc-e of way remarked thnt the statements of the superior olficor did not apply to section men, as he thought of lato there bad been inferior men employed: on Eastern roads especially, Italians and Portuguese bad taken the places of Irishmen, who in many cases helped build the roads in the Eastern and middle States, and who were vory apt at learning the methods of keeping tracks in order, distributing ballast, etc. He supposed that this was the result oC the Italians and Portuguese working for 1)0 cents per day, when the Irishmen thought their work worth ro As the matter now stands on a large number of roads only the foreman is competent to lay track or direct any work connected with that he dictating what each section man must do. At this point another official spoke up and said la-was on a road which passed through Virginia, aiid the section foremen were now ilism.if.sing the Italians and Portuguese aud iu their stead employing colored men, who were easily taught what to do and who turned oft more worls and worked just as well In the hot sun as in the shade.

This matter was discussed in'all its phases, aud the conclusion was tlia't to secure good men, competent to fill the grades of service, it was not wise to let the question of pay become of too much importance, (is a man In any branch of railroad service should lie paid according to bis ability and the ot his position, and that In no branch of service was it wise to employ a man because lie would work cheap regardless of his ability. RAILROAD NOTES. A number of yardmastors on tbc Pennsylvania lines are obtaining the names of employes who are in favor of the gold standard with a view of or- ganizlng railroad men's sound-money clubs. A high official of the Pennsylvania road makes the statement that the company's-shops at Altoona, are second in size only to the great Krupn works in Essen. At; the Altoona shops each month $275,000 is paid in wages.

On account of the dullness of manufacturing Interests the Big Four and Pennsylvania lino stations in the Indiana gas belt are not doing more than one-half- the business they did in 1SO-J and early In 1805, and It makes a marked difference in the revenue fit such stations as Anderson, Marion, Elwood. Muncie and a dozen other points that might be named. A good-steed row is in prospect over the general passenger apents to hereafter furnish free transportation to advance agents' of tlieatrlc.il troupes. The theatrical uianngers, at a. recent meeting in New York, organized for the purpose of fighting the railroad companies and, as their task is rognrdod ns hopeless, in official quarters, they will abundant opportunity to present their grievances.

The that the railroads, and ih.) Traffic Associa- tion, 'are preventing, road companies because of the high, and stiff rates, and the latest action on the part of the general passenger agents will cause further hard feeling. It: begins to look as if the railroads were bent on abolishing the deadhead system. SHOCKNEY AT THE RINK Saturday Night. A J30XING CARNIVAL. Scientific.gparring: and Wrestling at the Rink.

Over in Peru the street corner politicians do things up right. Whenever two men get into an argument on the street, a goods box is, at once provided and they arc asUed to make a joint debate, which usually results in gather ing 11 crowd within a few minutes.
