THE WEATHER.

No Let Up on the Cold—Last Night. To the average Terre Hautentot it seems that the town has slid north this winter and is now resting in the latitude of Winnepeg. Yesterday was one of the coldest days of the winter. The thermometer did not indicate so low a temperature as it did on several previous days, but the high wind of yesterday made the cold seem more intense. Fro6t-bitten ears and no6eswere numerous. Yesterday at 1 a. m., the water works thermometer indicated 2° above, but at 7:30 it had dropped down to 15°. Mr. L. G. Hager's government instrument marked 9° below at 6 a. m. At the Wabash iron works it was 16° below.

Last night set in cold, with a raw wind from the west At 10 o'clock the water works thermometer indicated 14° below, and at 12 it indicated the same number.

ABANDONED.

TRAINS ABANDONED ON THE T. H. & Ii. AND O. & E, I. ON ACCOUNT OP THE SNOW

BLOCKADE.

Still Complimenting the C. & E. I.— Railway Conductors in Session at Danville, HI.—General

News.

ABANDONED.

The railroads are all more or less suffering on account of the severe snow storm of Monday. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois has abandoned all trains from Chicago to Watseka and no freight of any importance is bein^ moved. The passengers running betweep this point and Watseka make the trip with diffidulty. The snow ceased falling early Monday night, but the wind is strong and drifts as soon as they are cleared away, form again. It is almost an impossibility to keep the cuts clear of snow. The T. H. & L. is blockaded, and all trains have been abandoned, The train out of South Bend yesterday ran some distance south, but it was found that very little progress could be made, and it returned to South Bend. Reports from all points along the line are to the effect that almost a hurricane is blowing. The main line of the Vandalia experiences but little difficulty in getting trains through. No. 1 west yesterday afternoon was an hour and forty minutes late, owing to connections. The other trains were all on time. The I. & St. L. trains are nearly on time. This road and the Vandalia have es to a great extent the snow storm. The Illinois Midland yesterday abandoned all trains west of Decatur, the only train on the line being the pay car which is bringing Receiver Conkling south to pay the men. The snow south of this city was light, and as a consequence the E. & T. H. trains are running on schedule time. It will probably be several days before the blockaded roads will be open again for traffic. Said a railroad man yesterday: "It will be several days at least before trains will be run again. If a force of men was sent out to clear away the drifts, it would be of no avail, as the high wind would soon form drifts as troublesome as those cleared away. Besides men can do but little work out of doors, with the thermometer at 10 to 15 degrees below zero, and the wind blowing at the rate of 30 or 40 miles an hour."

RAILWAY CONDUCTORS.

Yesterday morning's Danville News says: A very interesting session of the Danville division of the order of railway conductors was held in this city in the K. of U. B. hall, Gidding's block. The session was presided over by A. S. Wheaton, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, grand chief of this district, which includes Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. The session was devoted to exemplifying the secret work

COMPLIMENTARY MENTHON. In these times of almost univeral complaint of corporate mismanagement and dishonesty, says the Boston Commercial Bulletin, it is refreshing to be able point to a corporation that is managed honestly and for the benefit of the stock holders. "We refer to the Chicago Eastern Illinois railroad company, stock and bonds of which are very largely owned in Boston. By the figures recently published we notice that during the six months ending December 31,1S84._ a reduction of nearly $300,000 has been made in the floating indebtedness of company, and we understand that negotiations are now in progress that will still further reduce the floating liabilities and perhaps extinguish them. The reduction mentioned has been accomplished using the net earnings and the proceeds of sales of the first consolidated mortgage bonds, which were issued last summer for that purpose. Thepresident of the company, Mr. Horace H. Stevens, of this city, is well-known. He has the confidence the large stockholders, and under management the first mortgage bonds the company have advanced from 95 108.

Ticket Agent Thomas Cookerly forms the public that passenger rates to Washington have been reduced from $19 to $18.25 to those desiring to attend the inaugural ceremonies.

J. H. Devereux, president of the Beeline system, on Saturday afternoon learning that Superintendents Ewan ant Burrows proposed to make Sunday a general clearing-up day, pressing all passen ger as well as freight crews into service, telegraphed both superintendents to ron only trains of live stock and perishable goods, and give the train men Sunday as a day of rest

It is paid that what can be done to put a stop to ticket scalping is to be one of the questions for discussion at the meeting of lassenger agents at Louisville today. If anything is done in the matter, scalping by local passenger agents, as well as by the legitimate scalper, should be stepped on. Some of the outside ticket offices are daily underselling scalpers Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Journal: It seems that some of the local passenger agents are not aware of the fact that a $16 round trip ticket to the New Orleans exposition, good for forty days, is a cut of $7 per ticket below agreed rates. One agent sold fifteen tickets at $16'per head to party who went to New Orleans last night Had any open-handed scalper done this there woula have been a eral howl all along the line.

A freight car on the Boston & Providence railroad has been equipped with the Turner-Beard automatic momentum brake, and the tests which are bein, in the yards of that railroad in Boston are attracting the attention of railroad men. Mr. Turner, the inventor, is practical locomotive engineer and machinist, and has been quietly workin up his invention by experimenting wit! it in actual nse, until now he feels that it is a complete success, and will do all that can be expected of any automatic brake, and more than is done by any other.

A well informed railroad official states that the death of S. S. Merrill will be liable to lead to some complications. "It is well known," he says, "that Mr. Mitchell has always declared that as long as he was president of the road the Fargo Southern should never be incorporated into the Milwaukee St -Paulfpystem. notwithstanding that the money of the Milwaukee & St .Paul built that the friendship that has existed for many yeare between Mitchell and Merrill was very strong, so that if Merrill should die Mr. Mitchell would resign the presidency that if he should his successor might take

ROGERS' BONDSMEN.

The Protest of the Commissioner* Against the Legislature Believing Them.

As stated in the Express a few weeks ago, the bondsmen of Newton Rogers, the defaulting Democratic treasurer, intended to ask the legislature to release them from theia obligations. The affair has been worked very quietly, and it is understood that the bill is being prepared. The county commissioners, learning of the dangerous movement, met and passed the following resolutions:

Whereas, It has come to the knowledge of this board that an effort is being made to secure the passage of a law to relieve from liability the bondsmen of Newton Rogers, ex-treas-urer of Vigo county. Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By this board. That in behalf of the people and the tax payers of said county, this board most^earnestly and solemnly protests aga:nst the passage of such measure. Be it also further

Resolved, That a copy, properly certified, of these resolutions and order be transmitted to the members of the senate and house'of representatives of the general assembly of the state of Indiana, and that the attorney «f the board, C. F. McNutt, Esq., be and is authorized to present these resolutions to tie legislature and any committees of that body, and he is authorized and instructed to represent the interests of said county in said matter.

The meeting was called by Commissioners Roedel and Wilson. Copies of the resolutions and of the minutes of the session were forwarded to both branches of the legislature yesterday.

An Express reporter talked with a gentleman yesterday who is well versed in the matter of Rogers' defalcation. Mr. Erney, it will be remembered, was appointed receiver. The gentleman says that Mr. Erney has in his in his possession six or seven thousand dollars which was collec'ed toward paying ofl the defalcation. The defalcation stands about as follows: Amount of defalcation $19,500 Interest 1,950

Total ....$21,450 Paid off.. 6,000 Balance $15,450 Reduction by court 1,500

Balance $18,950 To this must be added 6 per cent interest for two years.

OBITUARY. 3Kli«a C&anada.

THE STATE TREASURY.

How the Temporary Loans May be Paid Off. Indianapolis News.

There has been a swelling of the assets in the general fund of the state treasury. By the settlement of Marion county the cash in the general fund has increased $32,000 and Auditor Rice has resumed payment. The benevolent institutions have not yet been provided for, however, and their February demands alone will more than wipe out the balance.

State Treasurer Cooper has not yet filed his new bond. The officials of the office, in speaking of the necessity of a temporary loan, say that to meet it when due there will be no necessity to increase the rate of taxation. Says Chief Deputy Connor: "We are able to show that there has been an extraordinary expenditure in the past two years of about $700,000, nearly half of which was the accumulation of several years over and above ordinary wants. Now if the temporary loan is effected the present state levy of 12 cents per hundred dollars on the $800,000,000 taxable property amounting to $950,000 per annum, will, in my opinion, net a surplus over and above all expenditures, sufficient in ten years to wipe out the temporary loan. There certainly isordii- nly a surplus income at the present rate of taxation, and there onght to be no increase even if the. state does borrow money."

Fox Drives.

The following circular being freely circulated throughout the county and the border townships of Illinois:

There will be a Grand Fox Drive in Fayette and Sugar Creek townships on Saturday, February 28th, 1885. The lines will be formed as follows:

East line, from McQuillan's crossing on Clinton road to Durkey's Ferry, thenoe northwest to New Goshen, thence west to Jas. Farham's in Illinois, thence south to the Providence church, thence east to HcQuilkin's crossing.

All are requested to be on the lines and ready to move at 10 o'clock a. m. Robt. Ansbbson, General Superintendent.

The center of the drive will be in Geo. Vermillioa's field, one and one-half miles east of Sandford.

The citizens of southern Sugar Creek will have their annual fox drive in March.

Must be Stopped.

When the grand jury convened, Judge Mack instructed them in regard to boys loafing around saloons. Chief Vandever called the attention of the patr61men t® the judge's remarks, and said that saloonkeepers must cease allowing boys to play pool and billiards, and that they must not allow them to loaf around their places. Parents have come to Judge Mack and made complaint, and have also appealed to the prosecuting attorney. The officers were instructed to notify saloonkeepers that if the practice was not broken up they, and not the boys, would be arrested. An effort was made last fall to break up the abuse.

Ed's Work.

The picture of Mrs. Trump in this morning's paper is the work of Mr. Ed. Seldomridge, of the Argo. Mr. Seldomridge visited the jail with an Express reporter, and carved the picture from memory. It gives a very good idea of Mrs. Trump's appearance.
