THE E. & T. H. SALE.

What it Msane—Other Railroad News. .Yesterday'# Kyansville Journal contained the following: 11 is generally understood now that the Chicago & Indiana Coal Railway company has an option for the purchase of the Evanqyill® & Terre Haute and the EvantviUe & Indianapolis railroads, the limit for which will expire early ne*t week. A party of representatives of that syndicate will probably piss «wer the lines of 'these roads More tnat tiini?, in order-to inform themselvesof the condition ol. the property. It is believed they will purchase, as they need this connection with the Ohio river. The possession of these railroads would give them a monopoly of Indiana block and bituminous' coal so far aa the Cnicsgo market concerned.

The effect of this purchaf would be to take the principal inanagemeBt of these railroacisto Chicago, ancftnake a complete revolution-in tfceir personnel. The organization of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad (which is now controlled by the 6oal Road syndicate) ,would be extended over trie two lines, and Evanflvllle won Id thereby loee some clerical busineeffthatis now transacted here, this being headquarters at present. On the contrary, tbe manuf'.cturirg and mechanical business now carried on here for the E. A T. H. and E. & I. roads would ballkely to naleiially increase, as the cheapness ol faeJ, hard, lumber and living here would make it' economical io do all the car building and other conutructioh at this end of the extended system.- The length of the E. & T. H. is 109 and of the E. & 1. 138 miles total, 247 miles.'- The length of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, from Chicago to Terie Haute 178, and of ih- Coal road from Fair Oaks (on the L, N. A. & C. R. R.) to Brazil is 11!) milfB iota), 297 miles. A short link from B.-azil to Saline City, on the E'&X, i» about completed, which gives dtreet'counection between Evansrille tfnd the renter ol the block coal fields. -'The 3. & E 1. is connected with Bre/il bv 8 branch.

It is understood that the Mackey syndicate frill retain control the eoria, Decatur & Evanaville railway, and endeavor to not a connection from it to Indianapolis.

It seemg'nrobab'o that the E &I. will b# extehdfil from Kluora to Kichmond, as subsidies to the amount of nearly $400,000 have been voted along the proposed libe, and the country in eastern Indiana great'.v needs direct succets to the buildirg stone ol Lawrence and adjoining counties, and the coal and hard and soft lumber of southwestern Indiaca. There has been a great deal of talk about the abandonment of, this new enterprise in consequence of the prospective enrly construction of the Chioago and Evanaville raiiroad as a partial feeder of the Pennsylvania Line in competition \plh the E. & T. H. and the E & 1. Tbe Coal Road syndicate will hardly give up s: good a thins as this extension for tear of even the Pennsylvania giant, while the latter will be compelled by this new move oil the railroad chess board Becure an extension of its Indiana & Vinceanes leased line to the Ohio river at Evansville, and a connection south and southwest over the Henderson bridge, the L. & N, and O. V. railways.

There ore other probabilities and possibilities that might be mentiond, but these, will suffice for the first ItfKOD. Taken all in all, Evansville has nothing to fear,ip the new deal. It is certainly cheering to contemplate that this city is bo important that the most powerful railroad syndicates are lay in? their plans to run their lines to this point. Our boom is on.

A St. Louis special say«: "For several months tbe Bee Line had the same rate from New York and other Eastern points (hat the Wabash and O. & M. lines had. The Vandalia objected to this a short time ago, and the matter was arbitrated, and the Bee Line rate was put up to within one dollar of the rate charged by the Vandalia, and one dollar higher than the Wabash and O. tN M. railway rate. The Bee L:ne has just issued a new tariff,

SECOND

quoting the MiBiiasTppi

sapfejrate a# the Ohio and railway, and that line,

quicker than-it takes to. tell it,_reduced its rates, keepiDg the difference and at the same time advised the other lines that it would maintain the difference without regard to results. SJ the diSe'renlial battle will he fought again, but as the falfber of differentiate is the present Mnerai passenger agent of tVOhio & (Mississippi railway, the chances are thalj road wili-be, able to maintain its position, at least it is an historical fact concerning differentials that Mr." ShaUuc was rover forced to abandon $ position he took in relation to this question. As rebate order* .cannot used on account of the law, the O: '& M. railway has a great advantage, fltfd is in ft' position to at leaet,assert its right.. Sp»e:one must back down or tbe public will eecure very reasonable rates in the immediate future."

Col. iR. B. Woolsey was ia Indianapolis yesterday. Mr. iFred Elliaon, former stcck agent of the Vandalia, with his family, has reached Loiidotf, Eng., on his way to S". Helena, where he h&s been located ss United StafcB-consul.

Clarjc Warren, an old Illinois Central

engineer, oneoi the oldest on

the .main

line of that road, is in the city visiting friend#. He was at one lime, many years ago, a fireman on the I. & St. L.

Another lot 6f the new C. H. & D. coal cars wis run out of the car works and down into the Van yards yesterday. They are equipped with all the latest coupling devices and braking facilities.

A large ao'ount of repair work is being done in the Van shops. Engines 22 and 9 were run out yesterday, after being put in first-class shape. The 177 is now in the shops, and will be made as good as new.

Conductor Strang, of tho C. A* E. I., left yesterday for New Orleans from Memphis, where he spent a few days before attending the convention of passenger conductors, now in session in the Crescent city.

The Chicago & Indiana Coal road company have contracted with the I, I). & 8. road to have considerable repair work to their locomotives dene at the latter'? shops. A dozen or more Woodruff coaches have been sent in for g-neral repaire, and the force has been increased to 100 men.

On May 1ft the Bee line will put on again the Boston sleeping coach between St. Louis and Boston. A passenger tak ing thi? coech leaves Indianapolis at 2:60 a. m, and is landed io Bjston at 7:40 a m. the next morning, making the run from thta city to ston in twentyeight and a half hours.

For several years .past a rather plainlooking car has been standin one of the tracks in the car vard of the Terrain al works, at Albiua, Ore beaten against by wind aud storm until it became pretty rusty cuteide. This car was built for Henry Villard when he was president of the Oregon Eiilway and Navigation company, and is one of the finest in the world in its appointments. When Villard caroe to Portland oa the "last-spike" celebration he left tho tar here, and it has remained in the yard ever since. A few days ago a telegram was received frcm him asking for its use to make a visit to this city once more. Men wereput at work cleaning and repairing the c. at once, and it left the yarda Wednesday for tbe purpose of bringing the exrailroad magnate to the land of webfoot again. He will mil return with aa much display as marked his If.st arrival, but, like the y«uug man kicked by the mule, he will "know a blamed tight more."

Cut down in the prime of life, without a moment's warning. What must have been tbe feelings of that pepr wif: when she saw Johnnie leave bis wcib, stagger towards her, unable to call, but motioning to her for aid? But what happinfss must have been his in that lart struggle between life and death, knowing that he must fall, to have thrown around him the arms of his faithful and loving wife. Another good man without ntmy but with a ho of frienda. This city has last a good citi Z3n, we have lost a true friend, his father I a dutiful son, his wife a kind, faithful and loving husband, his poor children a

ikied and indulgent father,

The Rev. Robert Smith and three sons were seriously if not fatally turned by an explosion of powderjvhich occurred at the coal mine at Dawson, a small town west of Illiopolis, Tuesday evening.

Captain Dan Stover, of Galton, 111., has a forty-acre farm on which he rai-.es nothing but rattlesnakes. Seme of thera are raised by hand, but most of them take csre of themselves.

Torre 4HutV Cow,

For some time the town cow has been having a pretty hard time down in Terre Haute, says the Crawfordsville ArgusNews. notwithstanding the tact thet the cow has sustained Terre Haute for along time the presa of that city, to a man, has been kicking the poor brute on every opportunity, or rather part. But at the polls Tuesday the people turned out and sustained the cow, out of respect for past favors. The festive cow can now roam about Terre "Hut" at her leisure her natural instinct will lead her inio. front gates and she will lie down iu green yards.

The Mail: "There is an ordinance pro hibiting cows from roaming the streets in the eight time. Why not enfoic? it? This would be some relief."

Consumption Can Be Cured,

Wo liavo the RitifyiDg fact, to know that it canba eared with GOOCH'S MEXICAN SYRUP Tab»rcatous matter is nothing more than nourishment imperfectly orgmiz'd. N:jw, it we can procure the organization of this food material so tliat through the prucsssof eleotritf affinity it may take its place in the system,we can cure the disease. This is just what this Syrnp does. It at oncn stops the progress of the disease by preventing the further supply of tuberculous matter, for while the system is under its influence all nourishment is organized and assimilated It thus controls Coughs, Night Sweats, aud all sther symptonsof Consumption. Consumption is one of the most lothaome and terriblo of all fatal diseases, and makes tho life o£ tho poor consumptive a hell ou earth. Until recently that terrible disease Las been considered an affliction beyond the reach of modicine but a new era iu the management of pulmonary diseases seems to bu dawning upon the scientific medical world, and, since many distinguished physicians barn acsnowledced that consumption can be cured, few there are who attempt to controvert then- opinion. To those singled out as victims .to that fatal malady, we offer a rjinfdy sure in its results to bring back health to their noor weslc^nod frames, and joy to the hearts of their frinnds. This medicine ia manufactured by the C101NNAT1 DUUG AND CHEMfCAfj CO, 54 Main Street, Cincinnati, O., from a prescription of Antonia Garcia, an old Mexican Doctor, Sold by druRRiats everywhere.
