arrogant trunk lines. The Time Approaching for Western Roads to Assert Their Rights. Freights To Be Received Up to 5 O'Clock More Railroad* on Paper—“ Big Four” learnings. TRUNK LINES VB. WESTERN ROADS. Arbitrary Rulings of the Trunk Dines Oppressive Upon Western Roads. In the Journal of Thursday last the statement was made that some Western roads were chafing under tne arbitrary ruling of the trunk lines, and there were indications thatsuoh roads would organize for self-protection. That the rulings of the trunk lines are arbitrary and oppressive was never more truly shown than in the effect of tbe trank line pool upon Western connections. If the trunk lines get at loggerheads and inaugurate a rate war the Western roads must prorate at the decreased rates: if the Western roads employ the same methods to save themselves from the effects of violation of agreements by any of their fellows, they are ruled out of the pools by the commissioner and connections directed not to prorate with them. The Western roads supply the business tc the trunk lines and it Is high time that their influence in that regard was recognized. This recognition is not given them. They pay their prorata for the maintenance of contracting agents in the West, as well as maintaining their own special agents. They do as much toward securing the paying east-bound business as the trunk lines do toward securing the non-paying westbound business; yet, in addition to that, they are nssesaed on every ton of freight going to Baltimore by the Baltimore fc Ohio railroad sixty cents for a bridge transfer, or by the Pennsylvania railroad sixty cents for terminal facilities at Baltimore, which all comes from the pocket of the Western roads, and is transferred into the pocket of the trunk line. On New York business via the Pennsylvania railroad, the terminal tax is $1 per ton, and via the Baltimore A Ohio is $1.20 per ion, which is all paid by the Western roads as a tribute to the more expensive construction of the Eastern roads. Dead freight is transferred through Indianapolis via the Belt railroad at 80 cents a car expense to the Western delivering road, yet the Eastern roads pay nothing of this, at the same time that they charge the Western roads 60 cents a ton, or an average of $9 a oar, for transport!.; ion over one mile of bridge, or for delivering or receiving freight at a terminal point. The financial effect of this is that, the Western road is deprived of 13 per cent of its legitimate earnings. In the light of this it is no longer a mystery whv the percentage of ex penses to earnings is greater on Western than on trunk-line railways. What the Western roads need, says a prominent railroad man, is an arreemsnt to protect themselves from the injustice of trunk lines. NEW DEPARTURE IN FREIGHT. The Bocal Freight Agent* Agree to Meet the Wishes of the Merchants. The local freight agents of the several roads centering here met yesterday afternoon at the office of Albert 9. White, agent of the Bee Line, to confer on the matter of holding the freight depots open to reraive freight after 4 p. .m. After a free and general discussion, it was decided that during the spring, summer and fall months freight would be received up to sp. m. Every road was representod and all consented to eucti an arrangement except the Wabash and the Indiana, Bloomington A Western, and Messrs. Walker aud Gregory, agents of these roads, said that without doubt their superior officers would favor an arrangement of that character. but they preferred to consult with such officers before giving a definite answer. Where bolding the depots oj>en an hour later will interfere in getting goods out on the evening trains as Ueratofor, the superintendents will le asked to change the hour of departure of the night freights to meet the difference in time tixed upon for receiving freights to 5 I*. M. A GIGANTIC RAILWAY SCHEME. A Double-Track Narrow-Gauge Road Across the Continent—Millions in It. Emi Kennedy, secretary and treasurer of an association known as the Chosen Friends, now appears in anew role. Yesterday he was circulating for signatures among prominent business men a paper calling a convention at Indianapolis on June 26, when preliminary steps are to betaken to organize the Indiaua division of what is to be known as the Grand Transcontinental railway, which 1s to be a doubletrack narrow-guaee road from New York to San Francisco, and from Chicago to New Orleans: or, as the circular says a road reaching from ocean to ocean, and tlie Gulf to the lakes. Similar organizations, he states are to he effected in all States. Eight series of stock of $25,000,000 each are to he issued and the bonded debt on double-track road properly equipped is to be but $20,000 to the mile, on single track $12,000. Indiana will he allowed hut one hundred stockholders, and the organizers of the scheme are very clever, and say that seventy-five of these stockholders can be residents of Indianapolis Although not a practical railroad man, Mr. Kennedy talks railroads quite flippantly, aod if the parties who sign the paper oalling the meeting, are half as enthusiastic as he over the project which it is proposed shall he independent of all other systems, the road will be built. NOW LET THERE BE PEACE. 'Official Figures Showing the Highest Elevation Reached on Pacific Roads. Tbe Union Pacific and tbe Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe passenger men are in a high state of exoiteraent as to on which roads the highest elevation is reached. The A., T. AB. F. dodgers claim that the D. A R. G. railway crosses the continental divide at Marshall Pass. Col., at an elevation of 10,760 feet, the highest elevation of any railroad in North America. The Journal will settle the dispute by giving the official figures: The continental divide is crossed hy railway lines in Colorado at four points, two by the D. A R. G. and two hy the Union Paclfio. The elevation of Marshall Pass crossed by the D. AR. G. is 10,760 feet. The elevation of Tennessee Pass is 10,418 feel. The elevation of Breckinridge Pass, at Boreas, on the Denver A South Park division of the U. P. railway is 11,498 feet. The elvation of entrance to Alpine Tunnel, on the Gunnison extension, 18 11.524 feet, the highest point reached by railroad in North Amerioa. GENERAL NEWS. The Wabash Charged with Discriminating Against Michigan City. The statement of one of the oflicluls of the Wabash system, a few days since, to the effect that the division of the Wabash formerly the Indianapolis, Peru A Chicago road was hereafter to be operated more to please the patrons of the road does not oonsist with the actious of the management, which has taken off oue of the most important trains between Indianapolis and Michigan City. Speaking of tills new deal, the Michigan City Dispatch says: ‘‘The Detroit A Indianapolis division of the Wabash road has always, eince the new management, discriminated against Michigan City, in passenger business an •well as freight traffic, but the last move made t>y this ‘enterprising division’ Is to discontinue passenger trains Nos. 32 and 33, leaving this city £t6:so P. M. and arriving at Indianapolis at 10:56 P. m., the lwo trains, after Sunday, Jnne S, to run only to Peru, leaving oue train each way daily. The inconvenience of such an arrangement to the traveling public can easily be seen. Hereafter, should one of our citizens desire to visit the eapital, he will be obliged to consume three days and two nights, to allow a few fours’ business in that city.” New Southern Road Opened. Ksoxvili.k, Tenn., June 4.—The first through train from Louisville over the new line of road to Kuoxville, arrived this morning, running the avhole distance, 265 miles, in thirteen hoars. Opening the West-Shore Line to Newburg. Kkwburo, ts. Y.. June 4 The opening of the •w York, West-shore A Buffalo railroad to twburg has oeen the event of the day. The it train left Newbnrg at 7:15 this morning and the cheers of a large orowd assembled to

see its departure. The first train from Jersey Clry arrived on time and contained wauy passengers. Miscellaneous Notes. On Jane 1 emigrant rates to Montana points were abolished. The passonger fare on tbe Bt. Louis A San Francisco railroad has been reduced to 3 cents per mile, from 4 oents, the former rate. The Union Pacific Railway Company is about to shorten the running time between Omaha aud Ogden eleven hours, tbe present schedule time being fifty-four hours. During the week ending on June 2, the total shipments of flou> gram and provisions to the East by the seven Cnicago pool lines amounted to 22,348 tons.’’cm increase over the previous week of about 2,000 tons. First-class rates from Omaha, Leavenworth and Kansas City to Denver, via Union Pacific railway, have been reduced to $22.50. To interior points in Colorado the fjre will be correspondingly low, The second-class rate has been abolished. The Rhode Island ITouse of Representatives has passed the bill incorporating wbut is called the Olmstead Air-line, or New York A Boston Shore-line railway. The bill in question allows this new company to purchase or lease the Boston A Providence. Trie California State Railroad Commissioners have recommended a reduction of 23 per cent, in the freight and passenger rates of the Central Pacific road. Yes. aud the matter will eud with a recommendation uutll the Central has a wideawake competitor. Yesterday the Jelltco route of the Louisville A Nashville road, which shortens the distances between ludianupolis and Knoxville, Tenn., 245 miles, was opened for business. The opening of this route also gives Cincinnati another important Southern outlet. Commissioner Fink believes that the difficulties in the lowa pool arrangement are practically at an end. Prominent railroad men say that these difficulties will crop up from time to time, and thut no agrae.meut oau possibly be made which willjbe. permanent. On June 1 the Baltimore A Potomac and Alexandria A Fredericksburg roads became part of the southern division of the Pennsylvania system with the Philadelphia, Wilmington v Baltimore line. The officials on these roads have all been properly cared for by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Rochester Post Express publishes the following. “A robin has been building a nest on the main frame of Engine 340 of the New York Central road, which runs between Rochester and DoWitt, going east oue day and west the next, ever since Sunday last, and, notwithstanding the noise and moiion, it has it all completed save the lining. The engineer and fireman art very proud of’thelr feathered rouaut.” ■■■ - ♦ PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Official Changes—Visit from Officials of New Roads. William R. Mi Keen, president of the Vandalia, is expected lu the city to-day. W. G. Bala is superintendent of the Chicago A Indianapolis Airline, not W.G. Taylor, as was telegraphed over the country June Ist. 8. B. Halley has been appointed agent of the Jeffersonville, Madison A Indianapolis road at Jeffersonville, vice E. B. Terrall resigned. Manager Wheeler, of the Atchison, Topeka A Anuta Fe railroad, gives notice that Mr. A. P. Tanner is appointed general agent of that company, with headquarters at Leavenworth, Kau. J. N. Lincoln lias resigned the position of general freight agent of the Boston A Lowell railroad, and H. N. Turner has been appointed his sucosssot. Mr. Lincoln, it is stated, will at an early day take a position ou a Western road. George J. Ermlich, superintendent of the Indianapolis car-works, who has purchased an interest in the Buckeye Car Manufacturing Company', Columbus, 0., will leave for that point about the 15th. A. Van Tujrl succeeds Mr. Krmlick as superintendent of tne oar-works. Local Notes. Tue directors or the Belt road hold their regular monthly meeting to-day. Elevator A is receiving no grain from the railroads this week, being shut down for general repairs. The steel-head lron-web rails placed on the Union tracks some eight weeks ago are a failure uuder tne heavy trallio over them. They are crumbling badly. President Millard, of the Indianapolis carworks, was yesterday awarded the contract to build 300 box-cars for the Hoosac Tunnel line, the cars to he thirty-four feet long: carrying capacity, 40,000 pounds. The prospects that the Marion A Indianapolis narrow-gauge road will be built are brightening daily. -It is stated that, as the matter now' stands, the canal bank from Broad Ripple to Ohio street cau be secured. The efforts of the Lafayette people to break their east-bound pool has strengthened rather than weakened it, and to-day it is stronger and firmer than ever before, and the trunk lines are in a position to enforce obedience to pooling agreements. The gross earnings of the Cincinnati. Indianapolis, Bt. Louis A Chicago road for May were $206,744.17, au increase of $10,528.98 over May, 1882. The earnings from passenger service were $68,276.60; freight earnings. $130,4C7.57; other sources, sß,l*oo. The management of the Midland fast-freight line are said to be considerably disturbed that the Indiana, Bloomington A Western has allowed the Lackawanna fast-freight line to come onto their system. Since the middle division of the L. B AW. was opened, the Midland line has been in clover, having no competition ou the road. Vice-president Bmltb, of the rndianapolis, Eel River A Southwestern road, was in the city yesterday. He says they (the officers) are not ready to talk yet, further than to say that matters are moving along very smoothly. By the by, Lieutenant-governor Hanna has become interested lu this enterprise, but is not vet sufficiently posted to give any information of itn portance. The Indianapolis Car-works, under the super vision of T. A. Lewis, Western manager or the Erie fast-freight lines, have just built a novel refrigerator car, which, it is believed, is to eclipse anything in this line yet builc. Yesterday it was iced and standing out iu the sun at the car-works yards, to be tested as to its range of temperature, consumption of ice, and all other matters which pertain to its usefulness. Letters by the dozens are pouring in on the Louisville. New Albany A Chicago railway officials aekiug for the position of local agent of tue Chicago A Indianapolis Air-line division at Indiauupolie. aud that said officials may be relieved the Journal is asked to slate that a man has already been selected for the position, one who, it he adopts the tactics he has used when holding railroad positions heretofore, will be a keen rule-cutter, B, F. Bush, chief engineer of the projected Toledo, Indianapolis A St. Louis road, Is in the city. An extended mention of this enterprise was made a few days since In the Journal. Mr. Bush states that friends to the enterprise are springing up all along the proposed hue. Numerous letters offering to aid the project financially are being received, and he says he is sanguine that it is something more than a railroad ou paper aud that it will be built. Complimentary to Mr. Matthews. The Chicago correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal pays the following deserved compliment to Mr. Gus. C. Matthews, or this city: “A social event of much Interest to many Louisville people will ocour at Springfield, <)., on the 7th Inst. It will he the marriage of Mr. Gus. C. Matthews, formerly of the editorial staff of the Courier-Journal, to Miss Nellie Dunlap Frye, daughter of William O. Frye, ox-treasurer of Clark county, 0.. of which Springfield is the county-seat. Mr. Frye is an old and respected citizen of that place, and a Virginian by lurth. Everybody in Louisville will rember the genial and kindly face of Gus. Matthews. He is an old New Albany boy; a Hoosier by birtb; “a Democrat by preference.” He was connected with the Courier-Journal from 1873 to 1879, iu which years he was the orator of the Kentucky Press Association, having also received the degree of M. A. from the Keutuoky Military Institute: was editor of the Times, of Snriugfleld, O , for quite a portion of 1879 and 1880, at which time he made Miss Frye's acquaintance: was the private secretary of Hon. W. H English during the presidential campaign of 1860, and since that time has been city editor of tile Indianapolis News. Every one who knows Matthews recognizes his unusual ability and great personal worth, and there will be innumerable friends to congratulate him upon the fact tb&t he has won for a wife on* of the most estimable aud accomplished ladies in Ohio. Miss Frye is a woman of splendid presence, broad culture, exceptional individuality and force of character and many graces. The wedding will occur at the residence of the bride’s parents, in Springfield, and the bridal tour will be Htads to Chicago aud inter•stitig points beyond.” Mr. Frank Smith, or Indianapolis, says; “Brown's Irou Bitters completely cured me of Heartburn.”

ANOTHER CLEW Concerning the Murder of tlie Foreman Women—The Latest Development, The preliminary examination of James N. Hough, arrested for the murder of the Foreman women, was continued by ’Squire Fribleuiau yesterday until Wednesday, the prosecuting attorney claiming that it would be impossible to have a witness here, who would give important testimonv before then. The important witness it v. iaiu Bush, a counterfeiter arrested in Franklin oounty aud sentenced in tUe Federal Court, a sow days ago, to two years’ imprisonment in the Northern Penitentiary. Herod A Winters, who are prosecuting the case against Hough and Cussiday for the detectives who made tbe arrest, yesterday obtaiued permission from Judge Woods to have Bush brought back for the purpose of testifying in the preliminary examination of the two prisoners. Bush was in jail during the previous ooufiuemeit of Hough, and the two men were ou confidential terms. Iu speaking of the muruer with wluoh he was charged, Hough oue day told Bush that on the night the crime whs committed he was with Michael Cassiday, and related to him iu detail the circumstances of the night. This story, it is claimed, will be very damaging to Hough and Cassiduv. After the release of Hough, upon the failure of the grand jury to flud un indictment against him, Bush and Herman Tmupe, the Indiana-avenue shoe dealer, serving a sentence of thirty days’ imprisonment for receivmg stolen goods, were placed iu the same cell, to wnoiu Brush related the story told him by Hough. A day or two afterward Trluipe and Milton Foreman were put together, and to the latter the story was also repeated. Foreman at once sent for Detectives Stevens and Bretney. to whom he told what he had hoard. As the Journal stutedat the time, when the case was iu a shadow of mystery, the information upon which Hough and Cassiday were arrested, came directly from Forman, although it was not a confession of ills own quilt. The thumbscrews were afterward applied to Bush, aud from him was obtained the story as told him by Hough. The officers immediately started after Hough, and Cassiday. It was with some difficulty that Bush could be induced to give his story, as he seemed to have great fears that Hough would wreak vengcauce upon him if he escaped punishment. liuportaut develouementu iu the case are now expected. ’Squire Feioleman, iu gianting the request for a postponement of the heariug, fixed Wednesday as the day for the trial, and stated that if Bush did not then appear he would release the prisoner from custody. AMUSEMENTS. CHARITY CONCERT AT THE GRAND. The entertaiumeut giveu at the Grand last night, for the benefit of the free kindergartens, was generously attended, and a handsome sum will be realized for the benefit of this deserving charity. The programme was quite long and so varied iu character us to be uuusually interesting. It served to introduce to the Indianapolis public Mrs. Eva Kurland, of New Albany, a reader of flue powers, whose selections afforded her an opportunity to display a well-trained vcMoe, good elocution aud excellent dramatic methods. She met with a very kindly reception aud was profusely complimented with tloral gifts. Miss Cora Bainbridge, another stranger iu the city, appeared in piano solos, which were rendered with much expression aud artistic excellence. Mr. James Leathers and Miss Eva Austin did the quarrel scene from “School for Scandel" with much cleverness, and the programme, besides,included Mr. J. W. Riley's entertaining character sketches, vocal solos by Mrs. 8. L. Morrison, Mrs. M. H. Spades and Fred. M. Loomis; a violin solo by Mr. Spades, a duet by Mrs. Spades and Mr. O. W. Williams, aud a quartet by Mesdames Spades and Mormon, ana Messrs. Williams and Morrison. TIIE OPENING OF THE PARK. # A blaze of electric light in front, a howlingly enthusiastic audience that filled the auditorium, and a most excellent vaudeville performance, were the chief characteristics of the reopening of the Bark Theater as a variety house last night. The theater has been repainted inside and out; new stairways have been put in, a case added, with new scenery and chairs, and it is now probably the best looking and most comfortable variety theater in the West. The managers promise to have only first-class attractions. aud, if the bill last night is any indication, they mean to keep their word. It opened with tlie Virginia trio. Turner, Welsh and Harris, who, besides being good singers, do a very fanny black-face act. Following them came Miss Ida May in new songs, and James and Kittie Edwards—in a domestic musical sketch of atrong contemporaneous intorest—to the man led men. After the ill-fated trapeze act of Mons. Le 11 hi re. of which an account is giveu elsewhere, Kelly aud Ryan, “The Bards of Tara,” und decidedly the most versatile aud umueiug rough Irish comedians, appeared in their specialties, aud Miss at. George liussev gave some Irish male impersonations iu flue style, showing much originality und cleverness us an imitator. J. J. Mullen, Kelly and Mills, in their genteel songs aud dances, deserved the flattering reception they met with, aud Miss Pauline Batchelor, a ava avis, i. e., a good serit-oomic, rather “oaught on” by her attract ive dressing and dashing ways. The olio concluded with Charles Gilday, an unctuous comedian, aad Miss Fannie Beane, an o'.d favorite and by odds the most artistic song aud dance artist iu the profession, in an amusing sketch, “Senator McFee,” iu which Kelly and Ryan created muoh laughter, was the afterpiece. It was the best variety bill ever given in the city, aud will be repeated during the remaining evenings of the week, with matinees to-morrow and Saturday. The “staff” of the new Park is as follows: Gilmore A Dicksou. proprietors; E. E. Ellis, manager; David Wheeler, treasurer; Gus. Teeta, director of orchestra: Charles Grady, stage manager, and Walter Wilson, scenic artist. NOTES. Miss May Henry, who has been with Robson A Crane tril season, arrived home yesterday for the summer. The Zoo had a big house last night, and a good bill was given, with Harrington and Johnson as the star performers. Tlie sale of seats for the performance of “The Octoroon” by the Clio cinb at the Grand on Thursday aud Friday nights, begun yesterday, aud was good. Mr. Willie Winter, the dramatic dude, has seen Rose Coghlan play Ophelia, and says of her impersonation: “Viewed as a statue of the character, and without reference to subsequent speech or action, this Ophelia, at this supreme moment [tlieentrance of the fourth act], was noble, beautiful. pathetic, conceived with poetic imagination and assumed with splendid precision oi art. Had the performance of Ophelia throughout been level with this single moment of it. Miss Coghlan would have shown a perfect ideal in almost flawless expression But ns a whole, this work displayed the meuLality and the luxuriant womanhood of the actress rather tbau the soft, cliugitig, delicious temperament of the character, huu it lacked that consummation of all art which consists in the appearuuoe of artless spontaneity.” There whs a remark made at Waterloo which will be involuntarily recalled iu this connection. THE COURT RECORD. Superior Court- General Term. Samuel L. Perkins vs. Daniel W. Grubbs. (In tbe city hull matter.) Howe, J.—Where land within the limits of a city has ;*eu dedicated for a particular public purpose the city holds it in trust for such purpose, andaiiy diversion of it bv the city from such purpose may be enjoined. (2 Dillon Municipal Corporation, 3d eJ., section 653; 77 111., 325; 33 N. J. Law, 1; 5 Grant (Can.), 402; 12 lud., 620.) The Common Council of a city may delegate mere ministerial powers to a committee, even though some of the members of such committee are not members of the Council. (24 liun., 426.) But tlie power to make allowances out of the city treasury cannot be delegated, any attempt so to delegare such power beiug forbidden bv sec. 3,069 R. 1881. Where land within the city limits has been dedicated for market purjtoscs, the oity in building a market building thereon is not limited, either m the size or cost of such buildiug, to present necessities and conveniences, but may erect a building with reference also to probable future necessities and conveniences; and, having erected such a building, it seems that It is not bound to let the rooms not needed for present market purposes lie idle, but may use them for other purposes. <3 Allen, 9.) lottery: Whether, if a building should be erected on land so dedicated sufficient for all

present and reasonably to be expected future market purposes, a second or third story might be added and devoted to other than market purposes without violating the conditions of the dedication (See 38 Midi., 289 8. C.; 31 Am. Rep.. 316; 16 14. 8., 1,022.) A private individual may sue either In his own behalf or in behalf of himself and others having a common iuterest, to enjoin the illegal or unauthorized use of municipal funds or property. (Pomeroy Remedies, sec. 142; 2 Iligti Inj., 3d ed., sec. 914; 83 End., 502.) Amelia B. Mansur vs. Rebecca A. Hiukson. Affirmed. Howe, J.—A owns several parcels of real estate, none of them separately worth over SIO,OOO, but all of them aggregating in value $19,720. Two of such parcels, oue worth $1,500 and the other S7OO, were sold on execution against A, and were bid iu by the execution creditors. Held: By Taylor, J„ and Walker. J., that as against such execution creditors A’s wife is entitled under the act of March 11, 1875 (J Davis Star., 554) to have set off to her one-third iu value of the two parcels sold. Howe, J., dissents, holding that she is entitled to only one-fourth in value. James E. Manu vs. Belt Railroad Company. Affirmed. Howe, J.—The term “wilfully” meaus “intentionally or designedly.” (1 Bishop, Cr. Law, 16 ed., see. 428.) A wrongful intent may, however, sometimes be presumed uuder the rule that every man is presumed to intend the natural and probuole consequences of his own acts But neilber tbe words “gross negligence” nor “wantoiicass" nor “recklessness” imply such intent, (f. H. A f. R. W. Cos. vs. Graham, 8. C. of lnd.. May 28,1883.) And in Indiana the words "wilful negligeuce” are as unmeaning as the words “negligent wilfulness.” A judgment ought uot to be reversed for technical errors when it plain.ly appears that the merits have been fairly tried (R.B. 1881, secs. 345, 398, 658; 8 lud., 354; 14 id.. 515; 18 id., 156; 23 id., 428.)

The order was given to the polios last evening to arrest all men found on the streets who were known as professional gamblers, aud during the night Hogan McCarty, Richard Ryan, Henry Johnson, James Howe, Richard Saxton and William Quinn were brought to the police-sta-tion by the sergeants aud patrolmen. Nearly all gave ball for appearance in court this morning aud were released from custody. The object of the movement is to force the gamblers to leave town. A Switchman Hurt. John Carter, a switchman whose home Is at No. 73 Beuton street, was caught between toe bumpers last night and so badly hurt that it Is thought he will die. He Is an old man and has a large family.
