THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS. Growls from Shippers Which Should Receive Prompt Attention. !sotb Passenger and Freight Traffic Heavy— The Accident Epidemic Though* to Be Over. - Personal Points. T. A. Lewis, Western manager of the Erie fast freight lines, returned from New York yesterday. W. W. Worthington, general manager of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville road, is in <fce city. J. D. Welsh, general agent of the Union Pacific, headquarters Cincinnati, has been spend lug a couple of days in the city on official business. H. C. Diehl, general freight agent of the 1., B. * W , and Robert Geiger, general freight agent of the J., M. & 1., will return from Chicago this morning. D. A. Bruce, formerlv train dispatcher on the Indianapolis A Bt. Louis road, who accompanied C. C. Gale to Texas to take a position on a Texas *xond, return***! Saturday rather disgusted with railroad service in that State. Thomas Hume, formerly with the Bee Line, tnt more recently chief train dispatcher under C. C. Gale on the Indianapolis and St. Louis road, who disappeared very suddenly, Is now ,esi4rnnt train dispatcher ou the International Jk Great Northern road. P. M. Arthur, grand chief engineer of the Locomotive Brotherhood, cortaiuly deserves the thanks of the railroad mauaKcineuls of this country, as throusrh lus efforts the pay of engineers on the Wabash, Sr. Louis and Pacific road whs satisfactorily adjusted and a strike avoided, winch might have become general. ]lis efforts in that direction on the Denver & Rio Grande ryad, recently, as well, was highly 'jonnnendatory. W. F. Rob'nspn, of Boston, was Tuesday appointed truffle manager of the West Shore & Buffalo road. Mr. Robinson has recently filled the position of general Eastern agent of the St. Louis & Sun Francisco, prior to which ho was truffle manager of the M., K. fc TANARUS., and has also been connected with the Wabash and the Hanaibal and St. Joseph. Mr. Robinson goes to his new and important position with some thirty yearsof railroad experience. Local Notes. Emigration is settiug in briskly. Hardly a through train comes in westbound on which there is not tw r o or ibroo colonies moving Westward. The pay-roll of the Union Railway Company is assuming quite respeotable proportions. Yesterday Treasurer Jaokson had 268 men to pay, including the eighteen traiu crews employed on dbe Belt road. J. W. Sherwood, superintendent, and T. Morris, chief engineer, of the Cincinnati, IndianapSt. Louis A Chicago system, wore at RushTiilc yesterday arranging to lay additional tracks to hotter accomodate shippers at that point. The trunk lines are again overwhelmed with business. Freights from this section, which have been delayed bv the floods, arc going forward briskly, and those from the Northwest, as well, are being rushed in on the lines to the seaboard. F Six ex-passenger conductors of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & Sr. Louis are proprietors of liv-ry stables, and now it is well understood that, when a conductor retires from service on this road a livery stable is to be opened at some point on the line. The general passenger agent of one of the IndiHiiapolis roads yesterday remarked: “Travel over our lin is immense, and if we can only maintain good rates, the revenue from passenger sources, the next three months, will be the largest in the history of the road. The new Mogul engines recently received by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton company have all been pur, in service on the Dayton & Michigan division. One of these Moguls last week hauled seventy-one loaded cars from Hamilton to Cincinnati, and it is expected Ibat the new Consol engines will haul 100 or Wiore cars between these points. It may ut first sight seem singular that railways, lessening, as the3 r have done, to an enorWious extent, the cost of laud carrtago in comparison with cart traffic, have neither done awav with horses and carts, nor drained canals of their freights. Ou the contrary, there is more torse and cart traffic than ever; indeed, railway •ompanies arc. among the largest proprietors •of horses and the most extensive carters in the country. Western rail manufacturers show a disposition to make the best of the new tariff, and are Studying up some wav in which they oau reduce the cost of manufacturing rails so that under the present tariff they can make a small margin. The Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company hope to reduce the cost of their coal somewhat, and will reduce the pay of their men as little us possible in justice to themselves. The new steel mill has the advantage of having the most approved machinery aud being the best arranged rniil iu the country. There is a general boom in freight traffic with ludlanapolis lines, transfers over The Belt road have increased handsomely, and Superintendent Whitcomb reports the movement over the Union tracks yesterday to have been the heaviest of guv day this season, and in spite of his best efforts several old-fashioned blockades occurred, the most serious one being when one of the C., 1., Sr. L. &C. and one of the 1., B. &W. long freight trams were sandwiched between a dozen or more switching trains and four or five passenger trains on the Union tracks. General News. March 1, 1883, there had been constructed this year 220 miles of road; 452 the first two months of 1882, and 199 in 1881. General Manager T. J. Potter, of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad, denies the reports that have gained currency of late, that the earningsof the company are steadily decreasing. On the other hand, business is, he asserts, excellent and rapidlj- improving. With the coming of spring weather reports show that new railroad construction is to be pushed vigorously iu the Northwest, while in the Southwest there has been no halt this winter. it is stated that the three Pacific lines—the Central, the Northern and the Cauadiau—will have 12,000 uen at work by Ajiril. The National Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents will hold a special meeting at the National Railway Club Rooms, No. 40 Bond *treer. New York, beginning Thursday, March 13, a> 11a. m. Tills meeting is called liy request *,n take the place of the regular spring meeting, which was appointed for March 20, at Jacksonville, Fla. The general time convention will liold its spring meeting at the Liudell House iu •3t. Louis, April 11. A conductor of a Pullman sleeping-car resigned his position a tew davs ago and drew out of the company’s treasury $173.83. One hundred dollars of tbi: amount was the original deposit he had made when he entered the service, as required, and the balance was the accrued interest. lie had been with the company over ten years. Yet when lie asked for a letter stating that, he had been faituful and honest iu the service, the high-toned official refused to grant it. There has been so much blowing as regards the high speed made by locomotives on English Toads that the Railroad Gazette suggests that American railroads would willingly bear the expense of bringing here an English locomotive, ir Any person would inaugurate the movement. Such a movement would assume the appearance at least of a good investment: a crucial test of what American engineers have claimed to be the peculiarities of our system of operation, as well ns a test of the comparative eoouotny and durability of the English machine under American ■conditions of track, load and distance. SIIY OF VANbERBILT. Business mm of Boston are not specially anxious that Vanderbilt should get a hold of the Hoosac Tunnel line. New England roads have been kept free from the clutches of the railroad kings np to the present time, and there is ade sir# shown to continue this state of affairs. The Massachusetts railroad system is perhaps the most complete iu the country. It is not controlled oy any great trunk lima. It lus 2,778 xiiiW sos road, which comprise over 4,500 miles of track, and these belong to thirty-seven different corporations. NOW A TRUNK LINE. Certain newspapers are still publishing articles slurring the Erie road and its management, Lasing their remarks on the past history of the road and the frequency with which it has gone back on agreements, and predict that the New York, Pennsylvania fc Ohio agreement will be ©f short duration The writers of these’articles do not comprehend the situation. The ifSrie has until tin* present time labored under ‘yrout disadvantages. It had no Western ter-

minus, but was obliged to depend on Western connections, who often treated them shabbily, for their business. Now tbev have become a trunk line, reaching Chicago over the N. Y., P. & O and the Chicago A Atlantic, aud Cincinnati and Indianapolis through the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton lilies, now controlled by the Erie. Under its disadvantages the last two years the business of the road has steadily increased, and the latest report, that for December, 1882, shows an increase iu earnings over December, 1881, of $120,795, or 7 per cent, and in tne net, $60,35(5. or 1353 per cent. The gross earnings have only onoe been exceeded in December, and the net only twice. The gross earnings of the Inst quarter were 4*a per cent, ahead of the previous year, and only a trifle less than for the last quarter of the year before, and the gain iu the net was 12 per oent. POINTERS FOR THE BOARD OF TRADE RAILROAD COMMITTEE. A Brownsbnrg shipper writes that the 1., B. W. has advanced the rate on grain from 4to 7 cents per 100 from that point to Indianapolis, bur offer to give him a good rate if he will ship his grain to Bandusky or Cincinnati. Another party states that the Wabash is charging him 22 cents per 100 pounds for freight shipped to Lagro, while merchants in Chicago are given an 18 cents per 100 pound rate to that point, the distance being the same from Indianapolis to Lagro that it is from Chicago to Lagro. These, arc the oases exactly which should be referred to Court Holliday, the newly-uppointed secretary of tne. Board of Trade railroad commit tee. His duties are to endeavor to adjust discriminations of the character above named. A REFORM WHICH MAY WELL BECOME GENERAL. One of the greatest annoyances iu traveling I3 that of entering a coach where the seats are one-half occupied by small packages, bundles and often boxes which should be carried by express companies. The Boston & Albany road, Monday last, inaugurated a reform which should be adopted by all railroad companies of the country. A circular gives notice that “after March 5, 1883, whenever an}' bundles, pack- ; aeee or articles of merchandise of any kind are ! offered for transportation, you will refer the party presenting same to the express companies. In case there is no express on the train by which the property is to be forwarded, you may forward such articles, in case the owner accompanies them, collecting regular excess baggage rates for the full weight, to whatever point you check or mark the same. Whenever light and bulky articles are offered for transportation, you wiil estimate the weight, calling ten cubic feet equal to one hundred pounds. Whip cases, carpet sample cases, tool-chests, pedlars' packs and articles of like nature should not be checked or marked without first collecting excess baggage rates for the full weight." “MR. CARPENTER REFUTES THE INDIANAPOLIS CHARGE. “Milwaukee, March 7. ("Editor of the Tribune.]—ln mis morning’s paper under head of ‘A Budget of Facts and Rumors from Indianapolis,' in your railroad department, occurs this passage: •Complaint is made that the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul passenger men have been down hero and made a deal with scalpers by which rates are cur as much as $5. The boys are evidently managing things in the absence of Messrs. Merrill and Carpenter.’ I do nor usually notice Hindi squibs, but this is one so utterl}' destitute ot foundation and so grossly untrue, and puts the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul railway in such a false position with reference to its railway connections, that it is but just to expose the falsehood, aud I ask you to give this as prominent a place in 3'our columns as the other items. Neither this company, its officers, its agents or boys deal in that way, nor have we cut an3 r rates. A. V. H. Carpenter, “General Passeuger aud Ticket Agent." The above appeared in the Chicago Tribune of yesterday. The item on which Mr. Carpenter’s denial is bas' and was taken from the Journal, but it is nevertheless true. Scalpers are selliug tickets at ass cut, purchasing the tickets at the Union Depot, and the matter was up for discussion before the officials of the Union Railway Company at their recent meeting. The point made by the Journal was that Mr. Carpenter did not know what was going on. INCREASE OF RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. The unusually large number of railroad acci- • dents the last few weeks has been a nutter over i which there has been considerable unfavorable j comment, and undoubtedly there has been too many; but a scanning ot the record will show that a large per ceut. have been due to broken rails, bad trestles or bridges and not to the carelessness of train men. On the Wabash aloue, in the first sixty days of this year, there were eighteen wrecks, ten of which were occasioned by broken rails, and In the neighborhood of 100 broken rails were discovered bv section men, it is stated, before any damage to trains was done, and that railroad magnates should be more cautious iu their purchases of steel rails is daily becoming more apparent. 111 commenting on the numerous accidents this 3*ear it should as well he borne in mind that January aud February were the severest mouths, , say Western railroad men, that they have ever i experienced. Snow, icy, floods, broken down i telegruph wires, severe cold have all combined to make onerution difficult. In January the Railroad Gazette reports a total of 168 acei--1 dents, in which 55 persons were killed and 199 j injured, an approximate daily average of s‘a I accidents, 1 killed and 6*o injured. Thirty of tlie killed aud 61 of the injured were railroad employes; 25 of the killed aud 138 of the injured were passengers or others riding ou the trains. Os the whole number of casualri**s 91, or 35.8 per cent , were to employes and 163, or 64.2 ier cent., were to passengers. The total number, both of accidents and casualties, Was much above the mouthy average of last >'ear, but the month was a ver.v bad one for railroads. Four accidents are reported ou Indianapolis roads proper, and a dozen or more on Indiana ro:uls, but general managers believe the accident epidemic to be about over for this year.

RECORD OF THE COURTS. Proceeding j n the Various Courts of Record, Yesterday. Full Abstract of tlie Opinions Rendered by the Judges of the Supreme Court —Work iu the Local Courts. Supreme Court—March 8. REPLEVIN —PLEADING —“TESTIMONY.” 9,952. William lugel vs. Busan Scott. Miami G. C. Ilowk, J.—Suit by appellee to recover possession of two-fifths of a crop of wheat raised by api*eilant ou land rented of the appellee. It is urged by appellant that be and appelle we.ro joint owuurs of the crop, and that the action would not Me. The fact of joint ownership did not appear from the face of the complaint. She did not sue for au individual interest in tho wheat, but for a specific share. The complain , was, therefore, sufficient. (67 Ind., 579.) T!.o word “testimony” in a bill of exceptions is aot the equivalent of the word “evidence," aud is j not sufficient to show that it was all the evi- ; deuce given in the case. (61 Ind., 279; 67 id., 408). Judgment affirmed. EVIDENCE—GOOD CHARACTER OF WITNESS. 9,863. Hannah Brown vs. Mary Campbell. Rush C. C. Franklin C.—A witness whose general character has not been impeached, aud whose testimony has 01113- been contradicted by other witnesses, cannot prove his general good character, and the introduction of such testimony is good cause for reversing the judgment. (21 Ind., 15; 77 id., 274; 21 id., 329.) Judgement reversed. RAILROADS —NEGLIGENT FIRES. j 9,984- P,C. & St. L. Railway Company vs. I Levi M. Jones. Way 116 C. G. Nibiack J.—Allowing combustible material to accumulate upon aud beside a railroad track where there is nothing to prevent the spread of | fire to the lands of adjoining owners,is a fact from which ■ jury may find negligence, aud in such a case the failure of an adjoining proprietor to remove dry grass or stubble from his own land in order to prevent the spread of fire negligently set by the railway company is not contributory negligcuce on his part. (26 Wi5.,223; 49 N. Y„ 420.) The right of way granted to railroad companies is exclusive, and the owner of the servient estate lias no right to enter for the purpose of removing dry grass, etc., nor is he guilty of contributory negligence in failing to do so. (5 Ind., Ill; 1 Thouip. Ncg., 162,) Judgment uffirmed. DEED UPON CONDITION —VOLUNTEER —NOTICE. 9,108 Leroy Wilson vs. Voluey Wilson. Delaware C , Woods, C. J.—Appellee’s complaint alleged that in 1875 he conveyed to appellant certain real estate, no valuable consideration being paid therefor, but at the same time appellant executed a writing whereby be promised not to make anv changes iu the property, nor sell it without appellee’s consent, etc.; that In 1876 appellant conveyed rhe property to one Orr, who reconveyed it to appellant’s wife, both conveyances being without auy consideration. The conveyance by appellee to his son was upon condition that he comply with the covenants of his agreement. The fact that tho covenants were peisonal merely does not change the rule. (4 Ind., 628; 63 id., 451; 45 id., 552: 69 id., 570.) A breach of the conditions forfeited the estate. Appellant’s wife being a mere volunteer, it was not necessary to show that she had actual notice of the defeasance. Section 17 of tbe act concerning conveyances (K. 8. 2,932) does uot. apply to volunteers so as to protect them as against the rightful owner. (44 Ind., 131.) The act making husband and wife competent witnesses for or against each other applies to occurrences before as well as after its passage. Judgment uffirmed. SALE—WARRANTY—PLEADING. 10,231. Richard Means vs. Johu L. Means. Bhelby G. C. Best, C. The complaint of the appellee alleged the purchase of a mare from appellant for $125, which whs warranted sound; that in fact she was incurably diseased—had the lung fever, and soon thereafter died. It is objected that it is nor alleged that the mare died from the disease with which she was affected when purchased. This was not essential to a recovery. If she, was diseased there was a breach of the warranty, whether she died from such diseaso or not. Where it is sought to affirm the contract no demand is necessary, nor is the plaintiff required to inform the defendant that there has been a breach of the warrant}'. Judgment affirmed. EXEMPTION —RESIDENT HOUSEHOLDERS. 9,001. Lottie Lowry vs. Andrew McCallister. Parke C. C. Elliott, J.—Tll a proceeding supplementary to execution a householder may plead 111 bar his exemption. Indeed, tbe plaintiff must affirmatively show that the property sought to bo. reached is subject to execution. (7.3 Ind., 349.) A widower wno lives with his children at the house of his father-in-law, paying the children's board and supplying them with clothing and other necessaries, is a householder within the meaning of the law. (73 Ind., 452; 80 id., 538.) Judgment affirmed. INJUNCTION —PRACTICE —NOTICE. 8,904. Kilej’ Miller vs. Henry Shinier. Union C. C. Black, C.—Action by appellee to recover possession of real estate. The complaint did not show any grounds for an injunction or the appointment of a receiver, but in vacation tne Judge issued a restraining order, and appointed a receiver upon affidavit of the plaintiff that crops, rents and profits of the real estate were in danger of being lost, removed or injured. The record does not show whether there was or was not notice to the defendant of these proceedings, and in such a case it will be presumed that there was notice. (77 Ind., 139 ) Unless it is provided for by statute, it is error to grant a temporary injunction when there is no prayer therefor in the. complaint. (5 Ind., 165; Story Kq., 41.) There is no such provision, except, section 137, cede 1852, and it cannot be presumed that tile affidavit was such as is contemplated by that section. The court erred in refusing to dissolve the iu junction. Judgment reversed. CHANGE OF HIGHWAYS—COSTS. 8,557. Wiliium Reader vs. Henry C. Smith. Harrison C. C. Franklin, C —This was a proceeding by appellant and others for the change of a public highway. A motion was made to tax the costs jointly against all petitioners. The appeal was taken from tbe board of commissioners to the Circuit Court by appellant alone, and the trial had iu his name alone. Therein nothing to show that he did not cause all the costs to be made in the case. The facts were before the oourr, and in the absence of a contrary showing it must he presumed that tho court decided right. Judgment alii* tiled. D(TCH ASSESSMENT —INJUNCTION. 9,569, Edwin C. Anthony vs. Eimore Sturgis. Weils C. C. Morris, C.—Suit by appellants to enjoin the collection of a ditch assessment. It is not averred that, any specific sum was assessed upon the lands of appellants or placed upon the tax duplicate. Nor is it averred how the treasurer had attempted to collect, tho tax, whether by persuasion merely or by legal authority, nor that the duplicate upon which the fax was placed had ever been iu the hands of the treasurer, or that he had taken any steps for its collection other than as a mere trespasser. Under such a showing, appellants were not entitled to an injunction. (59 Ind., 61; 70 id., 469; 73 id., .1 ) There are no tacts alleged which would justify an injunction against the auditor. All hisaersin respect to the tax bad been done before the suit, was begun, and there was uotiiiug more that he could do. Judgment affirmed. The following cases were also decided; 9,100. Deholt vs. Debolt. Randolph (J. C. Affirmed. Black, C. 9,990. Gipson vs. Ogden. Hendricks C. C. Affirmed. Franklin, O. 10,089. Bos him ugh vs. Birdsell. St. Joseph C. C. Reversed. Best, C. 10,315.

A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN. BTi-om the Boston Globe.]

HT<'*nn. Editors . Tho above is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E. Plnfc* ham, of Lynn, Mass., who ebnveal! '’•her human beings may be truthfully called tho “Dear Friend of Woman," as somo of her correspondents lovo to call her. She is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a life-study, and Is obliged to keep six lady •Ntauta, to help her answer the large correspondence which dally pours in upon her, each bearing its special burden ot suffering, or joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound Is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I haro personally investigated it aud am satisfied of tho truth of this. Ou account of Its proven merits, it is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in tho country. One sayst “It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will euro entirely tho worst form of falling of the uterus, Lcucorrhoea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubloe, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life." It permeates overy portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all t imes, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with tho law that governs the female system. It costs only sl. per bottle or six for $5., and is sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of tho Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp Lor reply, at her home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. “Mrs. Pinkham’s Liver Pills," says ono writer, “are the best in the tcorld tor tho cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of tho liver. Her Blood Purifier works workers in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound in its popularity. All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose solo Ambition is to do good to others. Philadelphia, Pa. (Z) Mrs. A. M. D. AYER’S HATH VIGOR restores with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may bo darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. It checks falling of tho hair, and stimulates a •weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to tho scalp. Asa Ladies’ Hair Dressing, tho Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agrr cable, and lasting perfume. J. W. Bowen, proprietor of tho McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says: “Ayer’s Hair Vigor is u most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not wi hin my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to givo entire satisfaction.’’ Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm Street, Charlestown, Mass., Ajn'il 13, 1882, says: “Two years ago, about two-thirds of my huir came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast crowing bald. On using Ayer's Hair Vigor the falling 6topped, and a now growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair, it has continued to grow, and is now as good us b< fore it fell. I regularly used one bottl oof tho Vigor, but now use it occasionally as a drossiug." Wo have hundreds of similar testimonials of the efficacy of Ayer’s Hath Vigor. It needs but a trial to convince tho most skeptical of its value. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. AYER & CO., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggists.

One year ago I contracted a bad case of blood disease, and not knowing the result of such troubles, I allowed it to run on for some time, but finally applied to the best physician in tho city, who treated me for six mouths. In that time I took over 600 pills of protoiodide of mercuyv. grain each, and bad run down in weight from 210 to 157 pounds, and was confined to my bed with Mercurial Rheumatism, scarcely able to turn myfelf in bed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. FOR 1883. ESTABLISHED 1823. The Indianapolis Journal will enter upon its sixty-first year witli the support and coil* fidcnce of a larger and constantly growing constituency, and with an influence, we feel warranted in saying, never exceeded in its long and prosperous history. It will bring to the duties of the ensuing year a better equipment, more thorough and systematic organization, and a sharpened desire to meet the steadily pressing demand for a clean, high-toned and complete newspaper. Its facilities for the gathering of news and for its faithful and satisfactory presentation were never so good as now, and it will continue to be the purpose to accompany the news of the day with such editorial treatment and comment as to still further ally the paper with the interests and conscience of all the people. In general news, and especially in the nows of the State of Indiana, and of the territory ia Ohio and Illinois naturally and commercially tributary to Indianapolis, the Journal will be found to be largely in advance of all'contemporaries. We have correspondents in the larger cities and towns, while the county papers are carefully gleaned. In all regards the Journal is, by odds, the best reflex of the interests of the entire State and of the territory it seeks to serve. Its present superiority in this respect will be fully maintained, and enhanced aa opportunity may offer. The Indianapolis Journal is the only Republican morning newspaper printed in this city which publishes the Associated Press reports. Since the recent consolidation of the New York and Western Press Asssociations, combining ail the leading newspapers of the entire country, both the quantity and quality of the news gathered from all parts of the world will be greatly increased and bettered. Its commercial reports, court record, Supreme Court decisions, railway news, and editorial and miscellaneous departments are conceded to be as good as the best, and their present excellence will be fully sustained in the future. The Journal will continue to maintain its assured position as the LEADING NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA, and asks support on account of its general merits no less than upon its superiority as a special representative of the best thought, and culture and character of the State. The Saturday Journal. The Saturday edition of the Journal has taken such rank as to make it almost a special and independent paper. It is prepared to meet the demand for a newspaper oi the highest class, filled with reading matter of the best character, and thoroughly unobjectionable in every respect —a paper that can be welcomed into every home and be a companion at every fireside. It is a splendid treasure-house of the best literary ability of Indiana, aud, as such, is worthy the support of the people. The Saturday Journal reaches into the furthest limits of our territory in time for Sunday reading, which a Sunday paper cannot possibly do, because of the lack of railway facilities on that day. It is also on hand for the long hours of Saturday night. The Saturday Journal will be found to contain that which will interest the old and the young alike, the farmer, his wife and his daughters, the literary man, the scholar, the politician, or simply the one who desires the fullest news of the day. It already has a much wider reading than any other issue of the week, and a greatly more extended and bettei patronage than any daily published in the State. Special contracts for advertising for the Saturday edition arc made, and special subscriptions for it are received. The Weekly State Journal. The Weekly Edition of the Journal is especially prepared for the demands of the people of Indiana outside of the cities and towns reached by the Daily. It is not a reprint of the Daily, but is an entirely separate and distinct edition, under the care of an independent and experienced editor. It contains the best literary and miscellaneous features of the Saturday Journal; but it has exclusively prepared for its columns a complete compendium of all the news of the week, both foreign and domestic, and particularly of the Slate of Indiana, and of the territory which it naturally commands. Its market reportsare carefully compiled, and its agricultural an l household departments receive particular and competent attention. In all its features the Weekly State Journal is as good as any weekly newspaper printed in the country, and, of course, it is much better for every Indianian because of its local news and character. Indianiatis are not interested in the local news of Ohio, or ot Illinois, or of Kentucky, or of any other State; but they are interested iu the affairs of Indiana, and these the Weekly Journal will give them, and at the same time be ai good a general newspaper as the best. The Weekly Journal is tho paper for the Indiana farmer. Every postmaster is an authorized agent, and will receive subscriptions for the Journal, which can commence at any time.
