Jenniugs, chief clerk and assistant of A. B. Southard, is named as the successor of the latter as general freight agent of the Louisville, New Albany k Chicago. A Boston paper says that in the reorganization scheme of the Toledo, Cincinnati & fit. Louis it was understood that T. A. Phillips, general manager should retire. E. B. Phillips, the new president of the Toledo, Cincinnati <fe St Louis road, returns West tibxt week to give the straightening out of the affairs of the company his personal attention. H. R.

L. William P. Fishback, master in chancery, left Inst night for Chicago, and will Monday next ask Judge Drummond to confirm the sale of the Chicago, Columbus A Indiana Central road. Thus far no exceptions to the confirmation have been taken. C. P Huntington, of Mississippi, was in the city yesterday, eu route for Washington. D. C.. wht-re ho goes to work up his railroad scheme of building a levee on the east hank of the Mississippi and laying a double track thereon. Mr. Huntington is very confident that the project will meet with favor at Washington and with Eastern capitalists. The Wabash management has presented a purse of SIOO to G. K. Morgan, a conductor on their iiao who resides at Decatur, 111 , “in appreciation of ids vigilance and prompt action in signalling aud stopping the second section of train No. 45 on Dec. 23, 1882. wo*t of Carpenter Station," which is accompanied by u letter tendering the thanks of the company for “the untiring care and conduct throughout manifested on this occasion.’' E 11. Talbott, secretary of the National Exposition of Railway Appliances, has issued in pamphlet form the rules and regulations that are to govern the exposition and the premium list. Great credit, in due Mr. Talbott una others of tlio executive committee for the enterprise they have shown in bringing so prominently before the public the objects of the exposition, which promises to be one of the. most interesting and instructive over held on this continent.

Local Notes. Sales at the up town Union ticket office are averaging $7<X) per day. It cost the Pittsburg, Cincinnati A St. Louis company $2,170 to uniform the conductors, baggagemen aud brakemen which run on trains coming into Indianapalis alone, there beiug seventy to uniform. A Union railway official remarked, yesterday, now that harmony had been restored between the managements of the roads centering here, be wlacuyhueut that in Imas thuu sixty days wo 4id bs commenced on the new uuiou depot. In the rear 1882 the locomotives on the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis A Chicago ro <d consumed 1,773,583 bushels of coal, the aver ageoost of which was 9.3\ cents per bushel. This company uses Pittsburg coal for steaming purposes. The Pennsylvania Company announces that the opening of the Alliance, Niles A Ashtabula railroad, operated by that company, gives it. a new through line from Chicago via Alliance to Niles, O.; Warren, O.; Youngstown, O.; New Castle, Pa., and Sharon, Pa. The Louisville. New Albany A Chicago and the Chicago aud Atlantic roads have agreed upon terms whereby the former road will use the tracks of the latter from its terminal point at Hammond to the We;.erti Indiana connection, a distance of a mile and a half. Officials of the Louisville, New Albany A Chicago road deny that any change is to be made iu the management. They say the fact that a considerable amount of the stock has recently changed hands is no indication that the property is to pass under control of other parties. The Steel-rail Mill Company are rapidly getting their machinery in order, and will be ready to start up when the prioe of rails will justify them so to de. Fortunately, the company can be quite independent, hs iu the building of the fine and extensive mill, and the putting of the machinery in, their rule has been to “pay as you go," aud they have no ugly debts hanging over the property. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Bt. Louis management notify employes that “hereafter, on the week-day preceding the one upon which the pay car will pass over the road, there will be carried on the engine of some regular train two green flags with white balls iu the centers. These tings will be carried one on each side on the bumper If the engine is moving ahead, and one on each side on the tank if the engine is moring backward." A box of stamped ware, billed as tin plate, was brought through from New York to an ImUanapolis merchant this week, bill of lading subject to correction. At. the depot in Jersey City it was discovered to be stamped ware and forwarded as such. Yesterday the party who received the foods presented a bili claiming overcharges of 9 cents per 100 pounds, that being tho differ ence between the rates on tin plate and stamped ware. The receiver also had the oheek to present a bill for $2 50 for spoous lost out of tho same box. The V'andalla civil engineers, this week, completed the survey of the northern extension, from Marmont to Plymouth. Here the old survey lrom Pl* mouth to Boath Bend is reached. Ur. doubtedly South Beml is tlie objective point of the McKeeti syndicate, who are building the extension north from Logansport. Tho parties who arc securing the right of way are experiencing a good ileal of trouble about Lake Maxiukuckee, where the owners of the land put as great a valuation upon their property as though it was gold or silver mining lands containing an ox haustless supply of the precious metals, and are now taking steps to condemn several pieces of property. General News. Tlie Legislature of Minnesota is about to pass a bill that the use of intoxicating drinks by railway employes be prohibited by law, as in Michigan; this is a police regulation. The Baltimore A Ohio Railroad Companv lias advertised for contracts to build bridges along its new line from Baltimore to Philadelphia. It now' really looks as if this long talked of piece of road would be built. A generous streak has come over the management of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul road, and the pay of conductors and brakemen has been increased $5 per month. Brakemen who commence on $45 after three month's services receive SSO, alier six months, $55 per month, with good prospects for a conductorship to all reliable men. The Ohio Central Railroad Company have made vast Improvement# at their coal shipping docks at Toledo during tlie present season, having expended over SIOO,OOO In increasing the facilities for handling coal. Electric lights have be.eu put In so as to work by night, and there is berth room for a dozen vessels at tlie piers. The Columbus, Hocking A Toledo have spent $(52,000 at the sai.ie place. J. E. Lockwood, general ticket and passenger agent of the Kansas City, Fort Scott A Gulf road, by circular dated Jan. 25; 1383, gives notice that, “The Memphis extension of this line is now completed, and regular trams running to West Plains, Howell county, Mo., 315 miles from Kautas City. The liuo will reach

Augusta. Oregon county, Mo., about Feh. 20, and will be completed and open for business to Memphis, Tens., about June 1, 1883. GONE AFTER MONEY. Charles Iloward, the newlv-appointed receiver of the Danville, Oluey A Ohio River road, has gone on to Boston to sell his receiver's certificates for the raising of SIOO,OOO to use in repairing and equipping the road. He tells the Boston caaitalists the road is now under full operation, handling the mail and express as well as the freight and passenger business. Tlie Boston Journal says: “It is believed by those best Informed noout it that this property will be rapidly developed under the management of Mr. Howard, a railroad man of nincb ability and energy, whose knowledge of it, its condition and needs, extends over almost tho entire period of its construction. Mr. Howard was appointed receiver.” The reading of tho remarks by this Bostou sheet will create a smile with Western railroad meu who know the real situation. DESIRABLE REFORMS. The Indiana Legislature is to bo pressed by the managements of the most important roads of the State to pass a law that all new roads, except within city limits, must cross other roads now iu operation above or below grade, and the net will further provide that any railway companies now existing may change their grades so that they will cross each others’ lines above or below grade, where the two companies interested may agree so to do. General Manager Thomas, of tho Bee Liuo, stales that that there are many railroad crossings in the State where the grade is now the same, that at a small expense it could be changed, and tlie danger of trains running together obviated. The Legislature will also be asked to pass a law which will not require that trains be brought to a stand-still where roads cross each other at grade where such crossing is protected by a signal and interlooking switch. WORTHY Os COMMENDATION. The New York Central people have taken a step worthy of commendation, and one which shows tnat President Vanderbilt is huuiaue as well as wealthy. The management has given orders to have tlie train hands versed in the lesser mysteries of surgery and skillful in the treatment of crushed, scalded or otherwise injured limbs. Lectures for the purpose are now being given every Thursday in the Grand Central Depot at New York, and all the employes of tho roads that can be present are urged to attend. The first lecture, given last Thursday, gave the men a general idea of the structure and functions of the human body uud of the use of triangular and roller bandages. The four succeeding lectures will explain tho way to treat bleeding wounds aud apoly a tourniquet; bow to put splints on a broken limb; how to care for the stunned, the drunk, the apoplectic, etc. RECOGNIZED BT HIS FRIENDS. M. E. lugalls, president of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bc. Louis A Chicago road, after twenty years absence, recently visited the home of his childhood, a small town in Maine. He took a stroll over the town and finally reached the grocery where he used to often spend his evenings. He found the same old boxen sitting around, several of his old oorarades aud a few old men. Ho stepped up to ouo of the latter and said: “Uncle Josh, how are you!" Uncle Josh looked Mr. lugalls over for a moment or two and, broke out, “Why Melville, how do you do! Why they tell ine you are living out west, and got to be a great man.” “Yes,” answered Mr. lugalls, “lam living out west.” Uncle Josh then remarked, “Why, they say you are running a railroad, and getting $lO,000 a year.” “Yes," says Mr. Ingalls, “I am getting SIO,OOO a year.” Old Uncle Josh then I took his pipe out of his mouth, straightened himself up, and remarked: “Darn’d if it ain’t hstotnshing what sarkuuistauoes aud cheek will do for a fellah.” . CLOSING IN ON THE SHIPPERS. A bureau of inspection similar to that of Chicago has been established in New York by the trunk lines. In Chicago the bureau lias proved a graud success in the protection of the companies against frauds of shippers. It Is claimed by the railroads that merchants in many oases misrepresent the character of their shipments, so that they are billed at lower rates than a prooer classification would call for, and that numerous shipments are carried by tho roads under wrong classifications, which are never detected. In order to protect themselves, therefore, the trunk lines have decided to employ inspectors, whose duty it will be to assist the railroad receiving and tally clerks at tlie various depots in examining freights. It is provided that nil freight found to be Improperly classified shall be detained until the shipper pays the proper charges. Edgar Harriott, who for many years was connected with tlie Clyde Line of steamers, has beeu appointod General Inspector lor the trunk lines. He will have the entire supervision of the work of inspection aud the appointment of the assistant inspectors. It is proposed to begin the operation of the Bureau of Inspection with one assistant inspector at each of tlie receiving stations of tho trunk lines, which are about twelve in uurnuer. If necessary this force will be increased.

Iu 1880, when the geological department was separated from the Slate Board or Agriculture, it contained 8,912 specimens, which had been collected at a oost amounting, with attendant expenses, to about SBO,OOO. Since Nov. 1, 1880, Dr. Collett has added about 90,000 specimens and lias collected 1,000 books relating to geological subjects. The museum, iu its present building, is exposed to considerable danger from tiro. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Rev. 11. J. Talbott will conduct the teachers’ meeting In the chapel to day at 12 o’clock.

RECORD OF THE COURTS. Proceedings in the Various Courts of Record, Yesterday. Full Abstract of the Opinions Rendered by the Judges of the Supreme Court. .Supreme Court—Jan. 25. Hon. William A. Woods, Chief Justice. JUSTICES’ COURTS —PLEADING —DEFECTIVE RECORD. 9,545. John M. Hopper vs, Thomas Lucas. Montgomery O. C. Zoiiars, J.—A judgment is not a written instrument, and a transcript thereof need not be filed with a pleading founded upon it. Tito sufficiency of tue complaint must be determined without reference ro the transcript. (37 Iml , 281; 55 id., 584: 58 id., 240; 64 id., 177.) In an actiou based on a judgment rendered by a justice of the peace tue complaint is not good without an averment that, the couit had jurisdiction of the defendant or that the judgment was duly rendered. (79 lud., 379; 19 Johns., 34; 34 Cal., 321; Freeman on Judgments, section 454.) By confessing judgment a defendant waives all objections to the manner of naming parties, and so uoes ins replevin bail. (3L Ind., 354; 30 id., 181 ) Whore, in the record of a .justice, figures *r used without, any mark or character to indicate whether they represent money or something else, without aid or explanation from other parts of the record, such a judgment is void for uncertainty. (20 111., 338;' 1 Wall., 398; 71 111., 427 ) A partner has no authority to confess judgment against his copartners, but where he Joes so tlie judgment will bo void as to them but valid as to him. (36 Pa. St., 458: 1 Wend, 311; Freeiuau Judgt's, §543.) Judgment reversed. ADMINISTRATORS —FRAUDULENT CONVERSION OF ASSETS. 9.090. Thos. A. Rogers vs. Martin L. Zook. Huntington C. C. Howie, J. —Action by appellant to foreclose a mortgage. The complaint shows that before any of the notes became due, the payee removed to West Virginia, where lie died, and his son was there appointed administrator or nis estate: that the appellees had paid off all the notes, it .is averred that said administrator bartered away the notes and fraudulently converted the proceeds ro his own use. Nothing being averred to the contrary, it must be presumed that iho common law prevails in West Virginia, and that i lie administrator had power to dispose of the assets of the estate. (29 Ind., 458; 60 id., 128; 57 id., 198 ) The complaint was therefore not sufficient without an averment that tlie appellees had notice of the fraudulent conduce of ill* administrator before they paid the notes. Judgment affirmed. QUIETING TITLE —REDEMPTION BY SURETY. 9,651. Joseph Rawlins vs. Henry C. Duncan. Monroe C. C. Bicbnell, C.—The holder of a certificate of sale made by a sheriff lias an equitable title which will support an action to quiet his title (69 Ind., 1.) Where tlie moMou for anew trial as of right is mado at the same term the judgment was rendered on the first trial, tlie motion need not be m writing. (23 lud., 474; 43 id.. 411; 45 id., 451.) Where the surety in a judgment pays the same during the year of redemption lie becomes tlie owner of the Judgment, aud is entitled to redeem land from a sale made under a prior judgment, upon which the judgment paid by him was a lien. Judgment reversed. LEGACY —ELECTION BY WIDOW. 9.903. Medford Wilson v. Jane Moore. Bullivau C. C. Franklin, C.—Appellant 6uert appellees as devisees to recover a legacy. According to the will, the legacies were not to become due until the devisees took possession of the remainder of the estate, and this could not be until the death of the widow. The allegation in the complaint that tlie widow had not elected to take under tlie will is not equivalent to averring that she had eleoted not to take under the will. She might make her election at any time. (19 Ind., 467; 39 id., 402; 67 id., 452.) If tlie devisees lieid possession during the lifetime of Die widow, in case of her election it could only be as her tenants, and, in case oi her taking under the law, it could only lie as tenants in common with the other heirs. (47 Ind., 283; 58 id., 101.) Iu eit her view of the case, appellant's legacy was not due when the action was commenced. Judgment affirmed. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT —CITIZENSHIP. 10,022. Stale ex rel. Jeff ries vs. James Kilroy. Posey C. C. Franklin, C,—Complaint bv appellant to oust appellee as county superintendent of echoola and to have himself declared the legal holder of the office. It was altered that appellee was of Irish birth, and not naturalized until April 16, 1881, and hence was not a citizen of the county for one year preceding his election. From the various provisions of the constitution it is evident that the word “inhabitant,” as applied to county’officers, does not wean “citizen.” (McCray on Elections, $15,46; 26 Ind.. 299; 63 id., 507). Being a resident of the county for the requisite period before hi* appointment, appellee was eligible to the office. The fact that tile township trustees selected by viva voce vote instead of by ballot, aud that one of them refused io vote until tue auditor declared appellant elected, ami afterward voted for appelie, thus making a tic vote, and that the auditor then gave the casting vote for appellee, will not avoid appellee’s election. The parties had the right to vote in whatever wav they pleased, and the auditor had no right to declare appellant elected. It was the duty of the board to cauvas the votes and declare who was elected. Judgment affirmed.

SUPREME COURT—JAN. 26. LEASE OV HOTEL —COLLATERAL VERBAL AOKKKM ENT. 9,948. Fred R. Welz vs. Marie Rhodius. Marion 8. C. Woods, C. J.—ln tlie first paragraph of his complaint, appellant alleged that tie bought tlie furniture and fixtures of the Circle House and had leased said house for five years, with the privilege of a second and third term of the same length for an annual rental of $6,009; that at the time of leasing said house tlie appellee agreed verbally with appellant that in consideration of such lease and purchase she would remain aud board in ths hotel, and use her influeuce to return tiie patronage thereof, and would not at any time open another hotel iu said city; that in August, 1879, she opened and carried on another hotel near to the other, which she called the “Circle Park Hotel,” whereby appellant's business was greatly injured, etc. The question is, whether the alleged parol agreement was merged in the written lease. This case is not within the rule that parol evidence is not admissible to vary a writteu instrument. The parol contract is collateral to tlie lease, and in no manner restricts or enlarges any stipulation of the lease or any obligation or either party thereunder. If at the time the leasj was made the parol agreement had been reduced to writing In a separate instrument, it would be regarded sts a collateral contract not necessary to be referred to in any pleading based upon tlie lease, and it is no less such a contract boo a use made by parol. That such collateral agreements mav lie enforced has been often decided. (67 Ind., 90: 32 Mich.. 462; 50 Win., 322; 34 N. 11., 414: 58 N. Y , 382; 74 nl , 409: Taylor Ev . §1,038. 1,049; Taylor Landlord and Tenant, §l4; 78 P. st., 469.) The promise of appellee not to engage in u rival business was not void under the statute, of frauds because not in writing. (6 Ind.. 252; 16 id., 125; 19 Pick., 364: 97 Mas ~208; 11 Met., 411) Judgment reversed. 10,482. William Poacher vs. The Btate. Orange C. Zoiiars, J.—Appellant was convicted of living in open and notorious fornication. The evidence is t lie same as that in tlie case of America Poacher vs. The Htate (this term), and upon rho authority of that case the judgment is reversed. The following eases were also reversed: 10,583. Tlie Stale vs. Maddox. Blackford C. C. Reversed. Xihlack, J. 10,604 Felgel vs. The Btate. Allen C. C. Af firmed. Howk, J. 9,687. Dunlap vs. Wagoner.

Suits for Damages. The damage suit of Jennie Smith, administratrix, against Howard A Denig, the State-house contractors, was decided yesterday’, the jury awarding the plaintiff $2,500 for the death of her husband. Ed F. Cullen, a plumber, is suing George F. Pflngst m the Superior Court for an alleged breach of contract. The defendant had anew system of hydraulic heating introduced into his building, and awarded the contract to Cullen. His defense is that one-naif tlie sum saved In fuel for a certain period was tube tlie price of the work. Cullen says that the terms of the contract provided that a specified sum was to no paid, and alleges breach ol' contract. He wants $5,000. Catherine Bell, the proprietress of a boarding-house at No. 247 East Smith street, has Instituted aotion for damages against the Berkeley Life Insurants Company. She alleges that Bbo leased the house of the defendant for one year from April 1, 1882, and that last December she was notified of the sale of the property and ordered to vacate. This sue would not do, and the oontinual uncertainty of affairs induced her boarders aud lodgers to seek accommodations elsewhere. She wants S7OO for injuries sustained. A Card of Thauks. The board of managers of tho Woman’s Exchange desire to thank most cordially the friends who gave such generous aid toward the fair aud lunch they held this past week. They offer special thanks to the publio for their patronage; to the press for their many kind notices; to Tbeo. Pfafilin for the rent of room and use of piano; to Mr. Meikel for loan or gas fixtures, and gas company for gas furnished; to Messrs. Furnas and Ballard for donations of cream and milk; to H. 11. la*e for coffee and sugar; to Mr. Archdeacon for supplies; to Mr. Bryce for craokers; to the different coal firms who donated coal; to Mr. Bagle.v for use of counter; to Mr. Schrader for loan of dishes; to Spiegel A Thomas for loan of tables and chairs, and to tho many ladles who not only contributed in other ways, but aided iu serving the lunch. The Woman’s Exchange is a benevolence that commends itself so heartily to the public mind that Its nlans and purposes only need to be understood to have it receive that liberal patronage it so fully merit#.

Audito" Kice. James 11. Rice assumed the duties of his office as Auditor of State yesterday. Upon delivering the keys, Colonel E. H. Wolfe, the retiring officer, addressed )i is successor in a few congratulatory words, which were received with that giriish modesty peculiar to Mr. Rice. The observance of tho time-honored social customs upon such occasions followed. An ample supply of bananas, oranges, apples and cigars was opened to friendly callers during the day. A floral emblem in the shape of an official chair was presented Mr. Rice by a Isdy friend, and he received many congratulations. His assistants will be J. J. Bingham, deputy auditor; Charles B. Clark, of Shoals, land clerk; Thomas B. Messick, of Hamilton county, insurance clerk, and EI. Price, stenographer. John W. Coons, the deputy of ths retiring officer, will be detained by Mr. Rice until the new force becomes familiar with tho workiugsot the ofiice. Church Dedication. The new Methodist church at Mooresvitle, Morgan county, will be dedicated next Thursday, Feb. I. Bishop Bowman and Rev. J. 8. Woods will preach the sermons, and other ministers will participate in the services. Thursday has been selected because the Bishop and other miuisttrs and friends from a distance can attond more conveniently than on Sunday. The edifice is a neat and well ftuished structure, costing over $7,000, is an ornament to the town, and will be well adapted to the usea of the congregation. Persons desiring to lie present can leave the city by the l. A V. train at 7:30 a. m. and return at 5:10 e. m. Suing the United States Marshal. A replevin suit was tiled in the Federal Court yesterday by Bpeucer P. Brundage, of Yorktown, Delaware county, against United States Marshal Foster, for the recovery of a 9tock of merchandise. valued at $3,000, takeu as tho property of W. 8. Brundo** by attachment. Judgment for SI,OOO alleged to have been lost by detention of the property is a iso asked. Nicoll, the Tailor, Nos. 33 and 35 South Illinois street. Rescued from the Jaws of Death.

Verdict of Thousands* Mr. R. W. Trude, of Milton, Penn., writes, Nov. 16, 1882: “Inclosed please flud postal order for $,">.25, for half a dozen bottles of Hunt’s Remedy. I keep a grocery here, aud can sell more of your medicine than any drug store, us I recommend it to all afflicted with Kiduey Disease or Dropsy. I tell them, that, if they have life enough to swallow it, it will raise them from the dead for a fact, for it did raise me from that slumbering sleep, and, although this was over three years ago, I have had no Kidney trouble since. Like the woman in Scripture, f had recourse to many physicians, and grew nothing better, but ever worse. Rut, thunks to Hunt's Remedy, l am raised as one from the dead." The Most Skeptical ConvincedThousands feel a thrill of joy wheuever they gaze upon the magical words, “Hunt’s Remedy;” for it is the best Kidney aud Liver medicine ever kuowu, and it recalls to memory the blessings it has proved to them. It is a positive remedy for all Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, aud Urinary Organs. The proprietors’ names should be written in letters of gold, for few men have done so much for their suffering follow-beings.
