RAILWAY CASE Erie Proves Their Name in Indiana is Chicago and Erie. After almost a solid week to the hearing of evidence in the damage case ofJSamuel R. Marshall vs the Chicago "& Western Indiana, the Erie and the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville railroads in circuit court, it was brought out this afternoon that the Erie railroad does not exist in Indiana. In other words its name is the the Chicago & Erie stopping at the Ohio line. Time tables, newspaper advertisements and other articles were produced as evidence to show the company goes by the name of the Erie. The prosecution then made a motion for leave to so amend its case as to change the name Erie to Chicago & Erie. On this motion there was an extended argument, the jury being withdrawn. The court sustained the motion and the case continued. It is thought all the evidence will ’ e completed this evening and the arguments wlil be made in the vacation next week.—Huntington News Democrat WORKCOMPLETED Indiana Educational Exhibit Ready for Worlds' Fair.
