For this road there was but one bid, Mr. Swayne offering $155,000. In his purchase he was backed by the same committee of bondholders he represented in buying the 1., P. & C. The third division is-what is known as the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville road, extending from LaPorte to Peru. With it was sold all the fixtures, real estate, franchises, rolling stock, engines and belongings. The sale was also subject to the necessary expenses incurred by George T. W. Davis, the trustee, in operating the road, and to the final decree in the litigation pending between the Wabash receivers and the trust company. Each bidder was required to deposit $25,000. and no bid below $50,000 was entertained. Only one bidder appeared when the road was put up. He was Frederick WWhitridge,who offered $500,000. The road was sold

to him. He represented a committee of bondholders composed of Adrian Iselin, John Crosby Brown, D. B. St. John, F. W. Whitridge and M. M. Niles. By the sale the road practically continues in the possession of the parties who have controlled it. After the sale Geo. T. W. Davis said the road would be reorganised, and operated independently if no advantageous arrangements could be made with the other divisions, or with the other roads. The purchasers represent $940,000 of the $1,000,000 bonded interest. Several years ago the C., C. & L. was leased perpetually to the 1., P. & C., and when the latter went into the possession of the W abash the C., C. & L. was taken with it. The 1., P. AC. failed to pay its vearly interest because the Wabash failed to meet its obligations, and the roads of the svstem all became heavily involved in indebtedness. The Central Trust Company, of New York, figures in the case because of its general mortgage on all the Wabash property, taken as security for money loaned. The Patience of Indianapolis People. Bald Herr Liobknecht, the great Socialist, to a Journal reporter: “I greatly admire the patience and good humor of your people. It was finely illustrated today in one of your tram-cars. [Herr Liebknecht referred to a ride taken on one of the Johnson streetcar lines.] Into the car were crowded twice as many persons as it could comfortably accommodate, and yet, notwithstanding the discomfort, everybody was in a good humor and uncomplaining. Now, such a thing could not be in Germany or in England. Under like circumstances in either of those countries, the discomforted passengers would have been in a bad humor, and would have expressed themselves, perhaps, in disagreeable terms.” The I.'ulldlng and Real Kstate'Marhet. The building season for any large undertakings has about closed. The permits now issued do not average more than S6OO or S7OO, and most of these are for repairs, plain cottages and small warehouses. Last week there was but one permit taken out for a house to cost a thousand dollars or over. This was procured by George Clements, who is to build a dwelling on Madison avenue, between Morris and Hanwsy streets. The aggregate value of permits lot the week reached

$6,045. Build rsand employes think it will be no , worse than (his if the winter remains | free from prolonged cold snaps. The | outlook for a prosperous season beginning in the spring is good. A general feel iag of being released, in a measure, from dull business and manufacturing, contributes to the opinion that while the j next season will find many more dwellings of moderi ate cost built, there will also be an increaso in imI portant structures. Tho real estate transfers for the week numbered seventy-seven, and aggregated in amount $102,942.09. Pardon of a Young Convict.
