Tom. McMahon, the old and reliable watchman at the Main street crossing of the E. & T. H., is on duty again, after a spell of sickness.
The Vandalia is ahead in its per cent, under the East St. Louis live stock pool, and has been ordered to slow up a little.
Superintendent Andrews, of the Wabash, passed through the city yesterday afternoon, in a special car, attached to Vandalia No. 1.
As an evidence of the booming business on the Vandalia may be cited Saturday's movement on the main line alone, viz: 1,101 loads, 85(i_empties. The demand for empties is loud and long.
The Chicago & Alton railroad commenced Sunday to run their passenger trains (on all divisions) Sundays saineas week days, two trains each way. St. to Kansas City, St. Louis to Chicago and Chicago to Kansas City.
The C. & E. I. freight No. 2G jumped the track at the!. & St. L. crossing about eight o'clock last night, three cars leaving the rails and two of these turning over. Fortunately nobody was hurt, but trains were delayed several hours by the wreck.
Nick Dodson took out his first passenger run yesterday since the accident some time ago by which he was disabled. He took out the cyclone express with engine 25. xle has been doing duty for a week past on the "bob-tail" between this city and Greencastle.
Regular trains commenced running between Fort Branch and Wadesville, on the E. & T. H. branch, yesterday, and will run to Mt. Vernon inside the next ten days. The iron is all down, with the exception of the big cut at Wadesville, and the connection will be made by next Saturday night.
The Pullman Car Company is divided into two branches, which is a fact not generally known. The Pullman Palace Car Company is incorporated under tho laws of Illinois, and the Pullman Southern Car Company is an incorporation of the State of Kentucky. Both are under the same management and have the same officers.
Saturday's business on the E. & T. II. was the heaviest in the history of the road, there being on the road 348 loaded cars north bound. These cars were loaded with grain, mostly carried to Chicago, Toledo and Indianapolis parties. Several engines of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road have been transferred to the. E. & T. II. to help through the rush of business.
The earnings of the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute, western division of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, for June, were as follows: Freight, §55,460.32 passenger, 29,312.70 express, $1,876.60 mail, $1,695.34 other sources, $3,000 ^otal earnings for the moth, $91,350.96. The earnings of this road for the corresponding month, 1881, were $114,355.88, and for 18S0, $99,575.88.
The Felise smoke consumer is now being used 011 a number of I. & St. L. engines with marked success. It works perfectly, and it is the intention to provide consumers for all the engines 011 that road. Tho patentee seems to have a bonanza, as the consumer promises to soon spring into general use. Besides doing away with smoke and cinders, almost one-third of the usual amount of coal used in an engine is saved.
Roadmaster Harris, of the Vandalia, was in the city yesterday. Ho reports satisfactory progress in tho work- of cutting down the heavy grade between Seeleyville and Stanton. For a mile and a half there has been made a cut of thirteen feetto the mile, and" for quite a distance a fill of ten feet to the. mile has been made, so that the grade is actually reduced twenty-three- feet to the mile. This was the most troublesome grade 011 the road, and its reduction will be of great benefit in hauling heavy freights over the road.

Stock of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute road lias advanced sharply 011 the recent, decision by Judge Drumm nd to the effect that the Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis companies, as the joint lessees of the road, must account for all net earnings over fixed charges from the date of the lease. This decision, if given as reported, secures to the Alton and Terre Haute company about $500,000, and not only improves the stock, but will add materially to the dividend bonds. The decision in this case carries a strong influence in favor of other decisions of importance, and the. worst feature of the ease is that_ the bankruptcy and foreclosure suit of the I. and St. L. does not release the lessors carrying from their contract with the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute people.
MORK TALK.
The Washington Gazette prints the following piece of news concerning Hervey's Straight Line: There is a
it. They offered Ilervey $13,000 per mile for the road, but he asked -$15,000. The E. & T. H. think it only a question of time, and Ilervey wijl accept their afier. In the event of tho E. & T. II. getting tho road, they will build it to Mt. Vernon on through that W»v, but will not take it by the way of Evansville. They will also complete the road to Indianapolis as speedily as possible. This, of course, will be a successful termination of a very much wished for and looked for railroad, but some persons think it would have been better if the B. & O. company had gotten hold of it, for in that event the shops of the O. & M. would be brought here without a doubt.
A SKN'D-OFF FOR THE I. A ST. I.. A representative for the Indianapolis Journal, Saturday last, rode over a portion of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, and was surprised at the solidity and smoothness ot the track.

bridges are all new no slowing up as you pass over them. Several lengthly side-tracts have been put in, and there is not a road in the West in better shape for the heavy fall traffic than this. Between Terre Haute and Mattoon the road is being graveled at the rate of eighty car-loads per day, the track is being raised at several points, and Roadmaster Henry shows a determination to place the road in a condition that cannot be excelled by any Westprn road its entire length. Since the road passed into the hands of the receiver, improvements on the track have been carried on according to the programme for the year, and it is understood that there is to be no letting up until from Indianapolis to St. Louis the track is in No. 1 condition. the track is in

Capt. A. B. Fitch, who superintends the survey of the Terre Haute &. Logansport extension, has returned to the city, having left the work in the hands of competent engineers. The road, as lias been stated, is being surveyed from Logansport north to the crossing of the Nickle Plate, a distance of 38 mile. The proposed road runs along the side of. Lake Maxinkuckee for a distance of two or more miles. The ice shipments from this locality every winter would make an important item in the revenue of the road. It would also afford the only direct route to this summer resort, which is every season becoming more and more popular. The lake is reached by other routes only after a wearisome stage ride of six or eight miles, while by this route the tourist would be landed- almost at the hotel cloors. Tho prospects for the immediate building of the road are very bright. A number of wideawake residents along the line have undertaken to obtain the right-of-way for the company, and also to raise a handsome subsidy, and this-undertaking is being carried through with energy. The survey now being, made is what is termed a location survey, and the route now laid out will be the adopted line of the road.

The invitation gives none of the conditions, as to programme, etc., and Captain Smith has written for further details. Entries close Monday, August 21st. This trip can be made with a much less loss of time than that to Dubuque, and as the prizes sire larger, it is quite likely the Cadets will take in the former in preference to the latter. It will be impossible for the members of the company to get away from work long enough to take in both drills.
A Tough Customer.
Jack O'Leary, who has attained considerable prominence in police circles, blossomed again yesterday. He was drunk and creating a disturbance in Trowbridge's saloon, on Lafayette street., near the I. & St. L. Officer Stanley arrested the offender, who resisted strenuously, fightingall the way to the Vandalia railroad. The officer stuck to him pluckily, finally overpoworing and landing him in the cooler. During tho struggle O'Leary struck the officer with a brick which he had tied in a handkerchief, cutting a severe gash in the head.
A Burglar Caged.
Two suspicious looking tramps were arrested by Officer Knight in the eastern part of the city yesterday morning., After proceeding for some distance with the officer, one of the men broke from him and made his escape. The other was taken to jail, where he gave his name as George Davis. Whpu searched he was found to have concealed about his person a burglar's jimmy, a dagger, a bunch of keys, a small lantean, some Confederate bills, a "Physician's Hand Book for 1SS2," and numerous other articles, evidently stolen.

Special Correspondence of the Express.
WASHINGTON, Ind., July 16, '82. The wheat in this county is4 now being threshed. It is a safe estimate to say that it will show up an average of about nineteen bushels per acre, giving a total yield of not less than 1,000,000 bushels, and it is yery fine in quality. It is being pushed rapidly into market. Every day brightens the prospect for an average yield of corn. Never was there a greater yield of all kinds of produce raised by farmers.
STATE CONVENTION".
As the time for holding the Republican State Convention approaches, anxiety increases. The greatest confidence prevails in the Republican ranks in this county, that our wise men will draw a platform by which victory may be won, but it would not be true to say anxiety is not felt lest blunders be made. Careful inquiry reveals the fact, that upon, all the constitutional amendment questions the Republicans here are solid, almost to a man, upon the basis of action by the convention, as laid down or suggested through the Express editorials. "Off years," as they are called, are always the most critical in this State for the Republicans, and most promising for the Democratallence it would seem that the utmost caution in framing a platform should be had. Those who ^believed, or affected to believe that the utterances of Hons. Jason B. Brown, of Jackson, or John B. East, of Monroe, or of C. 8. Dobbins, of Martin, which Democratic counties have been repeatedly quoted as developing a strong temperance element in Democratic circles from the fact that resolutions in each, at that party's conventions were passed, had perhaps better not bank too heavily 011 that "consideration. Upon jr recent visit to Martin county's capital and during court week, ape cial inquiry was made on that point, first, of Hon. C. 8. Dobbins, the great prohibition mover in that region, and the author of the resolution so frequently alluded to in the Indianapolis papers and by State correspondents to Cincinnati papers. Mr. Dobbins declared that his party must step to the music of that resolution, or it would make a difference of several hundred votes in Martin, that stronghold of Democracy. Upon its being suggested then, if that was the case, it was good time for an independent Demo cratic movement on the basis named lie replied: "No. Wo electaRepre sentative to the State Legislature jointly with Dubois, and this year Dubois selects the man to make the race
No hope at all, sir." Interviews were had with many other Democrats, and with Republicans, all of whom smiled at Cutler's innocent remark and emphatically said that no proposition taken by the Democratic Stato Convention, however strong against prohibition, or the Republicans in favor of it, would add to the Republicans one vote in the county from Democratic ranks, Mr. Dobbins, even, not being an exception. What is true of Martin is probably equally true of Jackson and Monroe.
TLIE SECOND DISTRICT.
The Democratic Congressional out look in this dirtrict is, that Hon. T. R. Cobb will be re-nominated by acclamation, although there are two counties that did not instruct for him. There is much talk of Hon. A. J. Hostetler of Lawrence as an Independent candidate for Mr. Cobb's place, and it may be said with accuracy, that in that event, the Greenbackers in this county and Greene, and indeed all over the district, will support him as a unite. It is a well known fact too, that many a Democrat will vote for Mr. H., who would not votj for Cobb, as against any Republican or Greenbacker. In case that Mr. Hostetler concludes to make the race as an Independent, and can control the counties not instructed for Cobb, keeping out of that convention himself so he will have 110 pledge to break, and no Republican gets 111 the way, Mr. H., with his fair record, would prove a dangerous customer for Mr. Cobb to handle. Entering the campaign with 110 broken pledge, nor dead weight to carry Mr. Cobb dare not assail him as a bolter, for fear of unpleasant memories of the past. Mr. Hosteller, in any sucti an event could quickly quiet Mr Cobb by telling the people lie was following in the footsteps of Jus worthy competitor, and illustrious predecessor citing the time, when in the days of Knownotliingism, Mr. Cobb went into a Democratic Senatorial convention, pledged to abide by it, and was beaten by the lion A. B. Carleton, of your city but broke his pledge, and joined the Knownothings and, becoming the leader of the organization in tiiat Senatorial District, united all the factions and isins against Mr, Carleton, and defeated him. Having thus by the basest political chicanery and demagoguery defeated Mr. Carleton, he deserted his Knownothing friends and fell back into Democratic ranks. But his usefulness as a Demcrat was destroyed in that Senatorial District, so he moved to Knox county and from there he took a fresh start, after years of political jugglery even more reprehensible than that against Mr. Carlton could enter on the rac with a "full."
A JOKE.
Apropos to this, about a little joke of Mr. Cobb's Knownothing exploits in Martin county ma* not be amiss, as told by one who professed to be an eye-wit-ness. In the rocky fastnesses, hard by Dover lfill, it is related, Mr. Cobb had collected a dozen or more, who were anxious to learn the mysteries of Knownotliingism. With dark lanters faintly shiijing, and all kneeling, each "rasping witti the left hand the American Hag, while the right was raised, Mr. Cobb began pronouncing the terrible oath of proscription against foreigners and Catholics, each repeating after him. He had not proceeded far when a terrific bang of shotgunnery awoke the echoes from surrounding hills, the shots passing directly over the heads of the mystery seekers. Deponent saith that Mr. Cobb did not stand on the order of going. A half-dozen young Irishmen and others had tracked them, and not having sentries out, the surprise was complete. Grasping the dark lantern, Mr. Cobb was instantly on his feet, and off for Dover Hill. In his flight he lost his tall plug hat, and bearing dowrn a voung bush, his beautiful long raven hair became a mass of chestnut burrs. When he arrived at the hotel the landlord did not know him at first, but gradually his recognition returned when, taking in the whole situation, he good humoredly said: "Why, Mr. Cobb, is it you? How changed! won't you take something? How will you have your ovsters On the half-shell, in a chafer-dish, or fried Mr. Cobb's expression, it is related, was one of supreme disgust. He only pronounced the name of a Calafornia town. "Yu-ba-dam," perhaps. His hat was tound next day, and it bore a strong resemblance to Martin county's greatest natural curiosity, "the Jug Rock." It is said he never wore a stove-pipe hat again. JUPITER.
Marshall Matters.
Special Dispatch to tho Express
MARSHALL, 111., July 17,1882. W. A. Porter, of Martinsville, is the
__
Democratic nominee for Superintendof Schools.
Special Correspondence of the Express. MARSHALL, 111., July 17,1S82. The Democratic primary election assed off quietly here last Saturday, wing to the fact that the farmers were very busy in their harvest, only about 1,54)0 were polled. Eth Sutton was'nominated for county Judge, John Coughlan for county Treasurer, Allen B. Briscoe for county Clerk, Henry Sherman, our present Sheriff for Sheriff. J. F. Brown for Coroner and Superintendent of Schools. The ticket is regarded as a. very strong one. Briscoe, Caughlan "and Luttoii were nominated ba large majorities. The nomination of Allen B.
Briscoe-for County Clerk, after all he has passed through for the past six or seven years, is highly complimentary to him. The race for this office will now be between H. Blake, present County Clerk, who defeated Briscoe five years' ago. ^Allen has passed through'the fire and, as it seems, emerged unscathed so Blake will have a liarde'r job than he had before to beat him. In short, it is exceedingly doubtful if he can do it at all. This county is nearly 1,000 Democratic, and this is no small thing for a Republican to "buck against." The Republicans will hold their convention next Monday, and it is hard to tell who their ticket will be. It will be shaped in a great measure by the result of the Democratic primary election of Saturday last. The Greenbackers hold a convention here on Saturday, and there will be an effort made to have the Republicans indorse some Of their ticket. This, however, is not likely to bo done, as there is a better feeling between the Democrats and Republicans here than there is between the Republicans and Greenbackers. The Clark county delegation will leave for OIney to-morrow to attend the Democratic Congressional Convention at that place Wednesday, the 19th inst. The delegates are T. L. Orndorff, H. C. Bell, D. Legore,
()Wm,
Whaley, T. H.
Sutton, .ffS Peter Conana, Allen B. Briscoe, Lewis Welsh, Oliver Davis, Thomas Dempster, Wilson McClure and Thomas Oraig. There arc seven candidates, and it is hard to tell how the convention will end. Either S. Z. Landes, of Wabash county, R. P-

An Enviable Reputation.
It is with pleasure we allude to the manufactures sf the well known chemists, Joseph Burnett & Co., of Boston. They have won by their merits and attractiveness a place beyond that occupied by any other similar manufactured goods in this country.
Their Cocoaine for the. hair, and a superior Cologne water, have become famous for their excellence.
In addition to these preparations are Burnett's Standard Flavoring Extracts for cooking- purposes, and we cannot show better evidence of their superiority than by referring our readers to the testimonials of all the leading popular hotels in the country. These are published in Burnett's Floral Handbook, an attractive and valuable little pamphlet, which is distributed gratuitously by the trade.
All respectable dealere sell Burnett's select goods, and all lovers of ckoice things will do well to buy them in preference to the cheap and impure articles now in the market.
It is a well known fact that Vermillion county, Ind., contains some of the finest land to be found in this or any other State in the Union.

Blanchard,! real estate broker, Newport, Ind., who has a list of very1 fine farms for sale at low prices and on easy terms. i-: City office, 630 Mam street,'Terre Haute, Ind.
