WANT A RECEIVER.

Supplemental Rill Filed In I). S. Court Asking for R«celv«r Tor the Deadly Midland.

A supplemental bill has been filed in the United States court to join with others who had filed a previous bill, to secure the appointment of a receiver lor the Chicago & Southeastern railroad. The parties filing' the supplemental bill are Ryan & McDonald Manufacturing Company, of Maryland J. Kirk, of Pennsylvania the Kilbourne & Jacobs Manufacturing Company, of Ohio the P. C. Austin Manu facturing Company, of Ohio, and several others. The bill states that numerous suits are pending in various state courts against the road for the payment of taxes, liens, wages, mortgages, and other indebtedness. It is also stated that the creditors have had difficulty in having a receiver appoint ed for the reason that as fast as one creditor began pushing a claim the company reached a settlement or com promise with him. The bill also says the road is insolvent, and that its burdens of indebtedness increase. The court is asked to give a receiver full possession of the property, including the extension recently made to Muncie, and that the receiver bring a report into court. The court ordered that the officers of the company make answer to the bill.

Montgomery Hogg the Riug.

Greencastle Banner: There is said to be rivalry in the local Democratic camp between Montgomery and Putnam counties. The cry is made by BOme local aspirants that a Montgomery man seems to have but little trouble in getting the plums in this county. The decisive victory of W. Denman several years ago is mentioned, as is Brookshire's easy success for commissioner, and then J. H. James is occasionally figured in thatlcategory, as he came from the county north. Then the same argument is advanced against Hostetter as he hasn't been over the line so very long. Notwithstanding this, Hostetter is said to be in favor of letting his party vote between him and bis opponent, Mr. Ader, at the coming primary as to which is to be the candidate of this county for joint-senator in the district convention.

The Discharge of Soldiers.

Governor Mount has received the following ruling from the secretary of war in regard to securing discharges iot men who are now in the United states service: "Enlisted men of the regular and volunteer army who desire to procure a discharge from the United States] service should address a letter to thei m,,..

adjutant general of the army, Bettinp) Geo .Mcl„:Un

forth the reason upon which they base their applications, and hand or mail it to the captain of their company, who in turn iB required to forward it through regimental, brigade, and division headquarters with his recommendation. Applications that do not come up in this manner will not be entertained,."'

With the Citizens'Bank.

Allen W. Johnson, who has been the deputy treasurer under William Johnson, will on January 1 take a position with the Citizens' national bank, succeeding Oharley Long who takes Mr. Johnson's old place in the treasurer's office.
