Although it. will go across the grain he will act •well his part, doubtless. Local Notes. The monster new McQueen passenger engine now neing limbered up on the C., I-, Bt. L. & C., yesterday hauled thirty loaded cars thirty-six iiniles In one hour and ten minutes, and would .lastly have hauled ten more, It Is stated. A large force of men and two construction trains wore set at work yesterday graveling the pew yards of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis & Chicago road, in the eastern part of the jetty, and arranging for a connection with the Belt road. The traveling pnbllo arc greatly Inconvenienced through the Indiana, Bloomington Western lmvlne closed iis ticket ollioe at iOfawfordsvfile Junction, as trains of competing bines do not run at con'ement. hours tc accoin'modate travel to and from Indianapolis. P. A. Hewitt, auditor of the Bee Line system, will, to-day. commence paying off the debts of ,the late receiver of the Indianapolis & Sr. Louis iroad. Parties who hold supplies bills incurred ; before the road went Into the hands of a receiver are kicking vigorously that tlieir claims arc not : swhl. The freight-car mileage on the Cincinnati, Tndi inapolis, St. Louis fc Chicago main line in the mon&fi of March whs t he largest of any month In the history of the road, the total movement, beifmr 1,506.326 miles. During the month there were handled on the main line 20.495 loaded ami 8,452 empry cars; total, 28.947 cars. In the month cars of 108 foreign roads and twentyeight fast freight lines and private companies tterc handled. President Ingalls is pressing the Bloomfield A Bedford Railroad Company to extend their road to Columbus, Ind., and make the Cincinnati, Indianapolis St. Louis & Chicago, through its Columbus, Vernon & Greensburg branch, their Cincinnati connection Ts they will adopt such a programme, he promises to aid them materially In the enterprise, and really the parties owning the B. & B. have the matter under favorable consideration. While the policy of E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the lines controlled by the Pennsyljvanid company, to pay no commission, is doubt- * 'less correct in principle, it is proving an expensive poliev to these lines. They thereby are losing business which rightfully belongs to them. Both tiie Bee Line and the 1., B A W. are roap irre large lieneflt from this policy, and the eenerr *••* adverM<ine policy of the last mimed lines is, ns well, working largely in tlieir favor. Officials of the Indiana, Bloomington A Western road were, yesterday, with the chief engineers of the Sr. Louis extension, examining the map of the route us now laid out, and the one thought to be the most feasible, will be bat six miles lunger from Indianapolis to St. Louis than the Vni.dalta road, and it is claimed the grades will be lighter. An official of the road states that prospects are good that the building of this extension will be commenced within the next ninety days. Several of the new rails with steel head and .iron web, which were manufactured last week ‘at the Indianapolis rolling-mill, have been placed in the Union tracks to be tested along sine of Thompson’s best steel rails, and at a point where a ste.el rail shows marked wear in six weeks, so heavy is traffic over it. The result will l> watched with interest, ns the composition of the rail Is such that should the teat prove satisfactory it will revolutionize the manufacture of steel rails. General News. It is stated that the Seney Syndicate are manipulating matters to bull the stock of the Lake Erie & Western road one of these days. The March earnings of the Toledo, Cincinnati A Bt. Louis road were $84,000, an increase of SIO,OOO over earnings of corresponding month, 'IBB2. It is stated that the New York Central earu,inga have increased $3,100,000 since Oct. 1, and lLake Shore $1,050,000 in February and March, but the public would know better whether the jStatement is true if the books were open to inIspeotion. The gross earnings of the New York A New England for March last were $284,868, showing an increase of $19,646 over the corresponding iperiod of 1882. 8. M. Felton and his able asMsrants are making this one of the best roads in the country. a very well-informed party on Pennsylvania railroad matters says tne dividend will be only 4 per cent, in cash, for the management don’t want to make the impression that they are adopting the scrip-dividend Idea advocated by Messrs. Burkill, Parker uud Lockwood as a fixed policy. People talk, says the Cleveland Herald, abont Vanderbilt’s selling out. his holdings iu New York ■ Central. When one thinks of the wonderful [amount.of freight that is pouring into Buffalo daily to be carried over the Central, business absolutely controlled by the Vanderbilts—it would seem that the furnily would hold outo the old prosperity. The new accessions to the trunk lines are preventing blockades as in former years. Eightylive trains passed a given point on the Lake Bbore east, of Erie in twenty-four hours one day ilast. week, and the men say that the Niokel-plate ,1s doing considerable business, too. Without this outlet for the snrplua traffic the Lake Shore would bo blocked. The Fitchburg railroad officials, noticing that ■one of their patrons appeared to have an inexhaustible supplv of five-trip tickets with four of the rides punched out, came to the conclusion ..that things were not as they should be. A little -Investigation led to the discharge of one of their conductors, and proceedings have been commenced against the put ty using the tickets iu question for an accounting of their use. From Denver to Balt Lake over the new road /opened for business last week the distance is *734 miles. It is intended to make the trip in thirty six hours running time. The road runs through ouo of the most prosperous portions or Colorado and one of the most beautiful localities of Utah. From Salt Lake the road continues to Ogden, where a junction with the Central Pacific railroad is made, and a through route from ocean to ocean via Denver is perfected. CHEAI* INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS. Among ipilway managers there is a growing feeling in favor of employers’ liability and accident insurance companies, or insurance companies of some kind, which will furnish a disabled employe and his family necessary funds to keep the soul and body together when the Injured nan is unable to provide for his family. Cornelius Walrord, the celebrated actuary, says shat in the United Btates one railroad employe In eight meets with accidental injury every year. Great Britain has several railroad men’s associations of the character above mentioned, and a recent numner of the Westminster Review’ contained an article which should be read by every railway manager who has the interests of railroad employes in view. The article shows bow the employers’ liability act of Great Britain h:td worked, and now it had led to the policy of

accident insurance ou the part of employers. Ic has been shown by the Baltimore A Ohio railroad in this country bow cheaply a great employing corporation can insure its own men against fatality and disability# and how far also improve Ua relations to those employes as faithful and loyal servants. The railroad commissioners of Massachusetts estimate that a fund of 5 per cent, of their wages paid would suffice to i.i.mre employes a handsome sum in case of death, or a weekly indemnity in case of accident. An engineer earning from SBO to S9O a a month, for instance, could at the existing rates of insurance for 5 per cent, of his wages insure himself $3,000 at death, or sls weekly indemnity iu case of accident. NEW ENGLAND ROADS PROSPEROUS. Through traffic over New England lines is unusually large. The Boston Journal summarizes the business of March as follow’s: “The Boston A Albany received from the New York Central at Albany 15,281 freight cars, and delivered 14,195. The number sent west from Boston was 10,556 cars; from Worcester east, 10,108: do. west, 10,951. The total number of loaded freight cars through the Hoosuc tunnel, east bound, for March, 1883. was 6.800, showing an increase of 2,291 over the same traffic in March, 1882. The Harlem transfer around Ne%v York city bundled 7,496 cars, or 1,547 more than for March, 1882; the eastward movement of loaded ours wm 3,836. an increase of 1,005 over March, 1882, ahd 2,652 loaded freight cars were 6eut west via the same transfor. DOES ANYBODY KNOW? The most diligent inquiry among the railroad officials and legal lights w’bo should properly know the present status of the officials of the Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg road falls to reveal It. The leading questions are whether General Freight Ageut McCabe, of the reorganized company, and the general passenger agent, whoever he may be, are to act independently of William Stewart, general freight agent of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati A St. Louis lines, and of E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the same. As the policy of the Pennsylvania Company heretofore has been to concentrate its power, that it should now change its policy and scatter its strength, if it is so to do, is quite a surprise, ami can only be accounted for by the surmise that the Pennsylvania Company intends to separate tlieir interests, that they may better claim that the C., St. L. A P. and the P., Ft. W. A C. are distinct roads out of Chicago, or bear the same relation which tho Niokel-plate bears to the Vandalia lines. A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE. Fearing that the harmonious relations of the trunk liues might become disturbed, a telegram was sent out from Philadelphia, last evening, of the following amicable tenor: “Officers of the Pennsylvania railroad state that the announcement that the Chicago, Pittsburg A St. Louis railroad, under reorganization, which went Into effect on Monday, April 2, is to become an aggressive competitor for east-bound passenger traffic, out or Chicago did not imply any antagonism among the system of roads controlled and operated by the Pennsylvania Company ami Panhandle route. The Pennsylvania officials say that it is nearly forty miles longer between Chicago A Pittsburg than thePittsburg, Fort Wayne A Chicago line, hilt under the reorganization of the Chicago, Pittsburg A St. Louis road it will be given better equipment and be in a fair position to compete for through passenger business. Nothing in this direction will be done, however, until after the meeting of general superintendents and passenger agents in St. Louis next week, when spring schedules will be arranged.

ONLY TWENTY-FIVE FAST FREIGHT LINES DOING BUSINESS HERE. Finding that but few shippers and as comparatively few railroad men know the number of fast freight lines doing business at Indianapolis, the statement given below becomes one of interest, and will doubtless surprise many who are not posted in the matter. In this statement is given the name of route over which each line reaches its terminal, and the respective agents at this point, as follows; Red Line, operates oyer the Wabash, Lako Shore A Michigan Southern, and Boston A Albany roads; William Parmalee, agent. White Line, over the Bee Line, Lake Shore, New York Central, and Boston A Albany; J. 11. Steiner, agent. Blue Line, over the Chicago A Indianapolis Air Line, Michigan Central, Now York Central, and Boston A Albany; C. Watson, agent. Canada Southern Line, over the Wabash, Lake Shore A Michigan Southern, New York Central, and Boston A Albany, R. C. .T. Pendleton, ageut. Midland Line, over the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, Lake Shore, New York Central, and Fitchburg road; A. W. Hazclrlgg, agent.

Star Union Line and National Line, over the Chicago, Sr Louis A Pittsburg, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati A St. Louis and the Pennsylvania; Colonel S. Gray, agent. Erie A Pacifio Dispatch, over the Chicago. Pittsburg A St. Louis, the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio and Erie to New York, and tho New York A New England road to Boston points; William Lynn, agent. The Great Western Dispatch, over the Cincinnati, Hamilton A Indiunapols, the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio, the Erie and Hoosac Tunnel route; Win. Lynn, agent. The South Shore Line, over the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio, the Erie and Hoosao Tunnel: J. W. Smith, agent. The Commercial Express Line, over the Chicago A Indianapolis Air Line, the Grand Trunk and Erie: George Brecoiint, agent. The Great Eastern Line, over the Wabash and Grand Trunk and New York Central to New York, and Vermont Ceutral to Boston; H. B. Smith, agent. The Erie and North Shore, over the Wabash, the Great Western division of the Orand Trunk, and the Canada Southern, the Erie, Delaware A Hudson canal, and to New England over both the Hoosac Tunnel and New York A New England routes: W. D. Wilson, agenr. The Traders' Line, over the Bee Line, Nickel Plate and Erie anu Hoosao Tunnel route; no ageutyet appointed. Merchants’ Disnatch, B. A A., the N. Y.

The Skinner Silent Line over the Bee Line, the Lake Shore the New York Central: Geo. T. Sullivan, agent. Michigan Lumber Transportation Line over the C„ I. St. L. AC., and the L., N., A. A C.; Geo. Brocount agent. The above statement shows that there are twentv-flve active lines doing business at this poiuti and when the number is considered it certainly is creditable that such lines from month to mouth receive so much business from this section. Divorce Matters. Eliza J. Wald on has instituted divorce proceedings against her husband, James 11. Waldon, alleging neglect, failure to provide, cruel treatment and various other causes. Judge Taylor yesterday granted John Zoller a temporary restraining order to prevent his wife, Mary J. Zoller, from disposing of her property until a final hearing of the divorce proceedings pending against her. Judge Walker yesterday granted .*4F.li Scott a divorce from Marion M. Scott on proof of adultery, and Mcvina Brennan from Daniel Brennan on grounds of abandonment. An Old-Time >ait, The suit of Volney Q. Irvin et al. vs. B. E Smith etal., to set aside judgment, Ison trial before a Jury in Judge Walker’s room. This is the cause, iu which a judgment was obtained for SII,OOO nenrly ton years ago by James Buchanan, and he satisfied the record ny payment of $9,000. The present issue is to set this aside, and Buchanan is made a co-defendant, the uinoffht tnvolved now being about SIB,OOO. Burnett’s CocoaineTHE REST OF ALL HAIR DRESSINGS.

TILE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1883.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOKS. A Delegation of Baltimore Business Men on a Junketing Tour. About twenty of the prominent business men of Baltimore, who are on a tour of inspection of Western cities, arrived here last uight, and are at the Denison House. The party are the guests of the Indianapolis, Bloomington A Western and Baltimore A Ohio roads, nnd arrived over the former from Columbus, 0., in a special car, about 6 o’clock last evening. They were met at the depot by a committee from the Board of Trade, and taken directly to the hotel, where a special dinner was served, there being about forty covers. During the evening the gentlemen were Informally entertained in various wavs, members of the Meridian and Washington Clubs being particularly considerate in this regard. This morning they will visit all the places or interest iu and about the city, concluding at the Board of Trade at the noon call, after which they will leave for Peoria under the care of General Manager Henderson and General Freight Agenr. Diehl, of the I , B. A W. The party includes the following gentlemen, all of whom are members of the Baltimore Board of Trade: George H. Ball, S. P. Thompson, FrankT. Smith, George T. Gam brill. W P. Batndillar, W. M. Cooper, George W. Tilton, U. 8. Fenler, E. B. Owens, John C. Legg, R. b. Clente, F. B. Hull, O. F. Lantz, G. W. Hitt, Charles Rous, E. M. bolieyrer, Frank Fisher and Fred A. Wheeler. AMUSEMENTS. PARK THEATER—-“THE NAIAD QUEEN.* The production of the fairy operetta, “The Naiad Qaeen,” at the Park Theater last night was very much in tlie nature of a surprise. Those who went expecting to see a “cheap show’’ indifferently given by poorly trained amateurs were disappointed, for it was altogether a pleasing entertainment given with much sccnio splendor. The operetta is allegorical in character, and its action is not impeded by the iutroduc tion of so-called specialties. The music is partly original and partly selected from standard operas, the words being adapted to the story, which is gracefully told. If the allegory is lost sight of at times, an ample compensation is found in the beautiful stage setting and original effects. In rlchuess and brilliancy these have never been excelled In the city, and the transformation scene at the close of the last act is a marvel of gorgeousness and beauty. Throughout, close attention is paid to artistic groupings and picturesque tableaux, and the entertainment, as a whole, is totally unlike anything ever before attempted here. The efforts of 400 people are enlisted iu the presentation of the operetta. Perhaps a half dozen loading parts are assigned to adults, mostly wellknown ladies of this city, who appear to much advantage In them. Aside from these, the stage la filled with children of all sizes and conditions, all appropriately arrayed. In the drills, marches, and choruses in which they participate they show marvelous proficiency, and it is evident that their training lias been most thorough and effective. It is not an easy thing to train several hundred children so that they can go through difficult evolution without a serious mistake on the first night, hut this Prof. McKuight has succeeded in doiug, and the glare of the footlights, the excitement of a crowd, and tlie discomfort arising from new and untried costumes did not seem to disturb the little people at all. There are also a number of young “misses and masters” from the ages of fifteen to twenty, who participate in the ensemble effects to good advantage, and ail do well. in such an aggregation it is impossible to make extended individual mention. Mrs. Enrique Miller, who assumed the leading part, sang the music very sweetly indeed, and was graceful and easy in her bearing. Mrs. Leon Bailey’s superb contralto voice and excellent dramatic methods were displayed to much advantage, and Miss Nettle Johnson, who is always clever iu an operatic performance, is especially so in this. Os the minor characterizations, those of Mrs. lila Gray Scott, as a fine singer; Miss Jessie Meek, who both looked pretty ami acted prettily: Miss Dudie Maguire, who did the “Zingara” song and dance with excellent effect, and Miss Jennie Goldthwaitc, a remarkably clever little girl, deserve special mention. Minnie Kaylor, Edith Whitehall, Ella Barnett and May Van Weis all did nicely. Mr. W. L. Grlmsley, a fair tenor, Mr. J. E. Hoover, a good singer, but stiff and awkward, assumed the principal male jiartß. and Mr. Miller conducted the “Dryad March,’’which was an especially interesting feature. Altogether,the entertainment was a marked success, and it deserves liberal patronage daring the remainder of the week, because it will repay it. There will be performances every uight, with a matinee Saturday. NOTES. Haverly’s Opera Company will be at English’s the first two nights of next week, and will be followed by Jay Rial’s “Uncle Tommers.” Miss Kate Claxton, who has been seriously ill at Muucie, has recovered so far as to be able to rejoin her company. It is said that this is her last season on the road and that hereafter she will only play in the large cities in the East. Next week is “Madison Square” week at the Grand, the announced attractions being the original “Hazel Kirke” the first two nights, and “Esmeralda” me last two. W. W. Randall is now in town arranging for the. first named engagement, and Mare Klaw is due. The Zoo drew an immense house last, night and gave a good show, the most striking features being Mo Andrews, “the Watermelon Man;” tlie Twilight Quartet, the best ever heard here; the Murrells, and other good specialty people, the performance concluding with the Lcouzo Brothers iu their sensational drama, “Avenged.” The bill promises to draw large audiences all week. THE COURT RECORD. Superior Court. Room No. I—Hou, Napoleon U. Taylor, Judge. Charles C. Beak ley vs. George Tomlinson et aL; foreclosure, chattel mortgage. Judgment for plaintiff for $356.60.

Appeal taken to Supreme Court ou pleadiugs. Criminal Court, non. Pierce Norton, Judge. A number of prisoners arraigned and entered pleas. Was Not Robbed. The statement In two morning contemporaries yesterday that William Kent, of Dallas, Tex., had been robbed of SB(X> by a prostitute was far more sensational than true. Kent was found in very disreputable company, and Constable Miller, fearing that he would be robbed, had him taken to the Grand Hotel, where he was compelled to deposit his money, amounting to $545, until he became sober. Ills losses amounted to nothing more than the expenditure of several dollars in reckless dissipation while in the company of a woman known as Sallie Zebring, the “Strawberry Blonde,” who was sent to jail yesterday to serve out a sentence for prostitution. The District Judgeship. The successor of Judge Gresham as United Btates Circuit Judge is still a matter of considerable speculation. Candidates continue to multiply, hut it is thought by many tiiat no Indianapolis man will get the appointment, and it is even whispered that there is a probability that no man in the State will get It. In this city A. C. Harris is being mentioned with considerable favor. It is understood, however, that Judge Gresham is inclined to be rather favorable to District Attorney Holstein, with whom ho bus

long been on the most intimate and friendly terms. The general opinion seems to be that Judge Kibbey has somewhat hotter chances than the other outside candidates. It is hardly necessary to add, however, that, tho whole thing is pretty “badly mixed.” Judge David P. Vinton. of Lafayette, is the latest addition to the list of candidates. Real Estate Transfers.

The metropolitan police commissioners, yesterday morning, accepted the resignations of Timothy Freeney and Jacob Metier, Democrats. Additional patrolmen appointed were: Henry T. Pope and G. L. Cravens, members of its present force, and John Shea, Democrat. The superintendent, captains and sergeants were directed to district the city and submit the plan which they agree upon to the board to-morrow or Thursday. Tho patrolmen will be required to have ihelr bonds ready for approval not later than next Saturday evening. At the session ol' the commissioners, lust evening, three additional Democrats were appointed. Timothy Clark was made uight turnkey. J. B. Boylan and Charles W. Hermann! were appointed patrolmen. H. F. Winters and William Scheigert, appointed as Democrats, were dismissed, as it was found that they were Republicans. M. Callojiy failed to pass the medical examination. The story that two members of the present force had offered to pledge themselves to vote tiie Democratic ticket if retained is denied by Superintendent Robbins, who claims that no such propositions were made to him, atbl the commissioners state that no suoh information was communicated to thelii.

The Delay in Printing tlie Laws. The acts of the last Legislature, which should have beeu published and forgotten before now, have not yet been prepared for printing. Tho Secretary of State hesitates to order the State printer to begin work, as it is his opinion that, by tho failure of the appropriation hills, there is no provision for paying the expenses; but Auditor Rice cites section 3 of the act approved May 15, 1852, relating to the general fund, which provides for tho payment of printing bills, and thinks that there is no question about the right to pay for the work out of that fund. A meeting of the State Board will probably he required to settle the matter before work is begun. The Farmau Will Contest. The legal contest to set aside the will of the late Francis L. Farmau was begun before Judge Adams and a jury yesterday. By the provisions of the will $2,000 was left to each of Fanuan’e four children, one-fourth of the remainder to his mother, and the residue to liis four brothers and sisters, who are named; but one of the former, it was afterward developed, was Furman’s son by a former wife. The action Is brought by the four children, who claim that the will was made while the decedent was mentally unsound. There is a strong array of legal talent on each side, and it is expected that the case will be stubbornly contested. Tho entire estate Is valued at about $100,060. The Hoard of Trade Removal. A remonstrance against the proposed removal of the Board of Trade is being circulated, and has received the signatures of about seventyfive influential members. The members who sign the remonstrance argue that the removal will be a violation of the agreement to retain the present building until the expiration of the lease under which It is now held, and that It would cause a factional feeling in the membership that would result in disaster. Tlie Oratorical Contest. The annual State oratorical contest takes place at English’s Opera-house to-morrow evening, and aspirants for honors from all the colleges ot Indiana will compete. During the day banquets will be given by the Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psis, Beta Theta Pis, and other Greek fraternities. The Base-Hall Season. Work on the new base-ball grounds, at the corner of Tennessee aud Seventh streets, was begun yesterday, and tho fence will be up and the field in order by this time next week. The season will be opened by two games with the Chicagoa, April 18 aud 19. Brown’s Bronchial Troches for coughs nnd colds: “The only article of the kind which has done me good service.
