THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS

THE RAILROADS.

Various Items of Current Notre, Local and General.

R. A. Campbell, traveling agent of the E. & T. H., was in the city yesterday.

It is stated that the salary of E. B. Phillips, the new president of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road, is $18,000,

In the yea* 1882, the Vandalia delivered at St. Louis a total of 7,660,175 buBhtels of coal, standing second on a list of ten roads. The Indianapolis & St. Louis was sixth, with 2,774,825 bushels.

In the past two months the I. & St. L. folks delivered the Wabash railroad, at Paris. 780 car loads of steel rails, all destined foF Caifo to be delivered to the Texas & St. Louis Narrow Gatige railroad.

John Talbott, of the Vandalia, will go to Indianapolis to-day to attend the funeral of his uncle, the late Bishop Talbott. He will be joined by his brother, Charles Talbott, now connected with the Missouri Pacific at Sedaliat

It is stated that the limited express service of the Pennsylvania lines is to be extended to Indianapolis over the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis, and on to St. Louis over the Vandalia line with the taking effect of the new spring time-table.

Thirty-one years ago LTnited States Senator Henry G. Davis was a brakeman on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Besides having risen to the exalted position he now occupies, lie has acquired great wealth, being rated as worth not less than $4,000,000. He owns coal and iron mines, a railroad, farms, banks and other property.

General John R. Soles, of the Hoosac Tunnel route, Boston, has been ap pointed traffic manager of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, to succeed Col. Robert Forsyth, who was some time ago tendered the position of traffic managerof the Chicago & Atlantic,and,who, it is stated, has accepted that position. Col. Forsyth has been nearly six years with the Eastern Illinois.

The steel rails received daily and now laying by the Denver & Rio Grande on its main line, between Utah and Colorado, are hauled from the company's rail mill at Pueblo, Col., by way of the Southern Pacific to California, thence by the Central Pacific to Utah. The inference of hostility between the Union Pacific and the Den ver road that this would indicate is fully borne out by other facts.

General Roadmaster Henry's official report shows that the Indianapolis & St. Louis road has 131 miles of steel rail track, which is one mile over one half the distance from Indianapolis to St. Louis, and there is now thirty miles of steel rails distributed along th£ line to place on the track as soon as the weather is suitable to proceed with the work. In the year 1SS2 the company put on eighty-two miles of steel rail.

Ind. Journal: The rumor is again current in railroad circles that H. W. Hibbard, general freight agent of the Vandalia, is to take a position on the Pennsylvania road. The rumor grew out of the fact that Mr. Hibbard has gone East, going in company with the Pennslvania officials, from Indinanapolis. The object of his visit East is to, if possible, secure a still larger per cent, in the pool of the live stock traffic out of East St. Louis. Two prominent Western stock men accompanied him.

The Wabasli and Union Pacific.

The rumor was published several days ago of a possible consolidation of the Union Pacific and the Wabash. There is probably more in it than has come to the surface. The Wabash is in shape to make such a combination of considerable importance. From Redfield, in Dallas county, Iowa, on its narrow gauge division, to Council Bluffs is less than 100 miles, and the route is feasible—in fact, it is the route on which the Chicago & Rock Island was originally located. By putting in this link the Wabash would have an eastern trunk line connection with the Union Pacific which would trouble the other fellows on east bound freight. While it cannot be stated as an accomplished fact, it is understood by those in position to know that it is quite probable this gap will be filled up. AVith a connection with the Northern Pacific at Bismarck, and this connection at Council Bluffs with the Union Pacific, the Wabash will be well fixed.

OUR OWN JOHN.

Our M. C. Interviewed by a St. tools Reporter—"The Living Wonder."

Hon. John E. Lamb has been in St. Louis this week, and in the course of his perambulations fell into the hands of a Post-Dispatch reporter, who proceeded to apply the reportorial pump. The interview is headed "A Living Won.ler—Youngest Member of the Next Congress, Who Overcame a Heavy Majority." It is given below in full: "There goes a man with a pretty good double record," observed a friend this morning, pointing to a rosy-cheeked young gentleman in the corridors of the Southern. "He is not only the youngest member of the next congrefes, but he also overcame the largest opposition majority." "Who is this prodigy "John E. Lamb, of the Eighth Indiana district. He lives in Terre Haute."

The Post-Dispatch reporter then threw out his grappling irons on the [{on. Mr. Lamb. The gentleman acknowledged with a subdued blush that he believed he was the infant of the next house. He reached the advanced age of 30 last August'. "Majorities," replied Mr. Lamb, in answer to the reporter's query. "Well, yes. In 1880, on the Garfield vote, which is what we calculate on, the district went 2,644 Republican I carried it at the last election by 287, showing a changc of 2,931 votes." It was more of a surprise to me than to any one else. I met Tom Ochiltree not long ago, the red-headed ranger of the Rio Grande, and he was screaming his herculean task from the house tops. He claimed that he had overcome a majority of 5,500. I had heard of Thomas and so bought a small bag of salt that I took with me and sprinkled over the story that Tom told. I found later, on investigation, that Tom's opponent in 1880 had carried the district by about 2,000—so I was still ahead. In Ohio there were a couple of districts where the calls was very close, and if either of them had been carried, I would have had to give up the belt. But both of them went Republican by a close shave."' "How do you Democrats feel on the Pendleton bill?'' "We're dead against it in Indiana.'' "Who will be your candidate for governor?" "I think it lies between Bell, of Fort Wayne Judge Turpie, of Indianapolis, and Col. Gray, who ran on the

f:

ticket in 1875 with Blue Jeans Williams. Bell will probably be thfc man." "And the Republicans?" -J'? "They will nominate Calkins, the ifesent member from Laporte."

HOW JURIES ARE EMPANELLED.

A Talk With Jury CotnmiBsibner Cox— The Oath Taken by ths Commissioner.

THURSiDAY

"Do you have many applications for positions on juries?"asked an Express reporter of Jury Commissioner James Cox, yesterday. "Do we? Well, I should say we did. We, Mr, Clift and myself, are nearly run to death by men asking to be placed on one of the juries. And when they ask us, that one thing prevents them from being empanelled as a juror. The law on the subject," referring to a copy of the revised statutes, which he carried in his' hand, "entitled an act concerning grand and petit juries, approved April 15,1881, reads as follows: 'SEC.1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That the Circuit court shall, during the last term, beginning in each calendar year, appoint for the next calendar year two persons as jury commissioners, who Bliall be free holders and voters of the county, well known to be of opposite politics and of good character for intelligence, morality and integrity, and cause them to appear and take oath or affirmation in open court to be entered of record upon the order book of the court, in the following form: You do solemnly swear (or af firm) that you will honestly and without favor or predjudice perform the duties of jury commissioners during your term of office that in selecting persons to be drawn as jurors you will select none but persons whom you believe to be of good repute for intelligence and honssty that you will select none whom you have been or may be re quested to select, and that in all your selections you will endeavor to promote only the impartial administration of justice.' "Thus you see, by the oath taken by the commissioners, we cannot select any one who asks us to be placed on the jury. I think we'd have a little rest from these requests if the people thoroughly understood the matter."

NOT SO INNOCENT.

The "Dove" Abducted by Mm*. Hammond, Proves to Have Been a Soiled One.

Several days ago the Express repro duced from the Indianapolis Journal an account of a scene at the Union depot in that city, in which Madame Hammond, a bagnio keeper of this city, figured largely, it being charged that she had abducted a young and innocent girl of Columbus, Ohio, for purposes of prostitution. Chief Vandever immediately wrote to the Chief of Police of Columbus for the true facts in the case, and yesterday received the following answer:

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 15,1883.

C. E. Vandever, Chief of Police, Terre Haute, Indiana. SIR:—Your favor of the 13th is received. In reference to the girl, McMaddus, she is well known here, and although young in years, is old in sin. She is one of the lowest prostitutes in the city her right name is Emma Patterson I am very sorry Madam Hammond did not succeed in taking her through. If her trade demands it we would be glad to afford her facilities for ridding this city of a score of th.e same sort. I enclose a slip cut from the Evening Times, which may enlighten our humane Indianapolis friends of the true-status of the case

Yours truly, SAM THOMPSON, Superintendent of Police. The extract alluded to in the letter reads as follows: "Chief Thompson to-day received word from Chief Vandever, of Terre Haute, detailing how Madame Hammond, the well-known procuress, now residing in Terre Haute, had enticed an innocent young girl from her home in the coun try near Columbus, to lead a life of shame in the bagnio of the Hammond. An investigation shows that the girl is a well-known prostitute belonging to this city, and the tears shed in Indianapolis over the downwardcareerof the cherub, were probably out of place At that city, the girl told her story, and she was sent back to Columbus by the marshal of Indianapolis, who paid her way back to her home."

Trotting Association.

The stockholders of the Vigo Trot ting association, who had charge of last spring's races, despite the heavy expenses incurred, the bad weather, etc., cleared $10 apiece on the meeting, and had about S40 left in the treasury. The spring races this year will not require such a heavy outlay, and th« prospects of a successful meeting are thereby increased. A petition is to be circulated, asking the county commissioners to make an apprapriation for the purpose of rebuilding the stables at the fair greunds, to be done before the races. Several changes in the circuit are contemplated, which will in crease the prospects for an attendance of the best racers in the country. With one or two of the smallep towns dropped, and larger ones added, and a liberal premium list, the people of Terre Haute and other cities in the circuit can expect some interesting sport during the coming spring and summer.

Reclaiming Land.

A number of the leading farmers on the Wet Prairie, in the vicinity of Rosedale, are circulating a petition to raise a stipulated amount to be used in digging ditches to drain the marshy Jand, and thereby reclaim it for cultivation. The plan has been successfully carried out in other places, and there seems to be no reason why it should not be so in this instance. It is estimated that three or four sections of tillable land will be reclaimed if the plan is carried out.

K. P. Reception.

The uniform rank Knights of Pythias gave their second reception of the season last evening, and like the first it was very successful. The attendance was such as not to render dancing uncomfortable, and an enjoyable time was the result. Previous to dancing, the Knights gave an exhibition drill, under Sir Knight Commander J. W. Ebel. The various movements were well executed, and met with frequent applause. The Ringgold furnished music for dancing.

"Fearbrings disgrace, bravery brings honor, cowardice saves no man from his fate," says the Caliph Omar but Dr. Bull's Cough Svrup has saved millions from an awful fate.

The ladies of the Baptist church, assisted by young ladies of the Sundav school, will give asocial in the chapel, Friday evening.

OBSEQUIES

The remains were escorted from the family residence, on Fourteenth street, to the church, by the McKeen Cadets and the Ringgold band. At the church Rev. S. F.

ACTION OF RESPECT.

The printers held a meeting at the Express office yesterday afternoon,and took appropriate action to the memory of theaeceawsi.

The cqi*rB®fee appointed by the McKeeaU Ai% to adopt a memorial has reported as follows:

IN

MEMORIAM.

'.v

Only a few short days have rolled on in their solemn cycles into the irrevocable past, and another cherished friend, another loved comrade has entered into the rest' of Paradise, pisease, in the same insidious form, with its false hopes and deluding promises, has laid his cold and chilly grasp upon another lovely and precious life. That life,closing forever in this world just as youth was- merging into manhood, seemed, as men speak of lives in this busy world, incomplete. It was passed, indeed, in calm and even tenor from the cradle to the grave. And to those who count life by years, it seemed all too brief. But "God's ways are not man's ways." We know that in the all-wisdom of the Heavenly Father that when the summons comes, the life which seems to have ended with all its noble promises unfulfilled, is indeed a perfect life perfect in beautiful and harmonious symmetry, and well ordered unity, that its work is complete, its warfare accomplished, the victory won.

Our comrade was very dear to us all, and we loved him for his joyous and happy companionship, his singu lar amiability, his enthusiasm and his loyalty to his friends, and the unfaltering esprit de corps which characterized all his relations to our organization. Sharing with us and encouraging us in our first efforts and struggles, he constantly and valiantly did his part in conquering the success which we have attained.

While mourning the early death of a comrade noble and true, we respectfully offer our appreciative sympathy to his family, who, knowing him best, loved him so tenderly.
