THE EQUALIZATION BOARD. ■ ■■ Attorney-General Hord’s Views on Taxing Sleeping-Car Companies. Colonel James F. Howe and V. T. Malott, representing the Wabash system, yesterday made an appeal before the State Board of Equalization for a reduction of the taxation on tlieir lines, claiming that it was too high in comparison with the productive value of other roads. It was shewn that it is now taxed at a valuation of $13,000 a mile, whiie in Ohio the appraisement is only SIO,OOO. The same argument was made in behalf of the L, P. & C. division, which, it was claimed, had depreciated .since the completion of the Chicago Indianapolis Air-lipe, The Eel River and the Havana, Rantoul & Eastern roads have expressed themselves as satisfied with their present rate of taxation. Colonel B. H. Young and George W. Friedley, representing the Louisville, New Albany Sc Chicago, were attain before the Board yesterday afternoon. Their net earnings last year, it was claimed, were at the rate of SBSO a mile, and other roads which made greater profits wore taxed less. They asked a reduction of the apprai o uipnt on their tracks to $3,500 a mile. Attorney-General Hord yesterday submitted his opinion in reply to an inquiry from Auditor Rice, on the question of taxing the earnings of sleeping-car companies. He recommends an appeal from the decision of Judge Gresham, and in his opinion to the Board says; “Under section 6,355. sleeping-car companies are required to report the gross amount of aM receipts within or without the State for fares earned or business done within this Btate. So much of said statute as requires sleeping ear companies to report for taxation the gross receipts for fares earned or business done in this State, when such business was commenced in other States and continued into this Stale, or through it. or begun in tills State and terminated in other Btates, estimating such gross receipts to he returned, according to the rates, that the distance traveled in this State bears to the whole distance paid for. has been declared to be unconstitutional by the District Court of the United States for the district of Indiana, in the case of the Stare of Indiana vs. ihe Pullman Car Company. I would respectfully recommend that cause be appealed, or some cause be instituted whereby the said question may be settled in the court of final resort. (The attorney cites several cases tending to support the constitutionality of the law.) “Asa means of making some approximation to the gross receipts for business done within the State of Indiana the sleeping-car company ought to report (a) the number of cars owned by the company; (b) the number of cars operated by each company running exclusively in the State aud not extending to other States, and the number of ears runuiug from other States luto or througu this State; (c) the several roads upon which their cars are operated, and the distance traveled within the State on each; (and) the number of oars leased to railroad companies which run withiu, into or through the State; (e) the gross amount of all receipts for fares earned or business done witblu " this Btate; (f) the gross amount of all receipts for fares earned or business done within this State where the travel continued from other States into this State, or began In this State, estimating such gross receipts with which they shall be charged, according to the ratio of the distance traversed in this State as compared to the whole distance paid for; (g) The ATO99 amount of all the receipts for fares earned or business done in this State coimnenc mg in other States and extending through aud beyond this State to be estimated as In “f.” “In case of the failure or refusal of the persons, corporations or their agents, to make and return the statement and report provided for by the State, it becomes the duty of the Auditor of State to make out such returns from the best information he can obtain, aud for that purpose he has the power to summon and examine under oath any person whom he may believe to have a knowledge thereof and he shall add to such valuation 25 percent, thereon.”

MONTGOMERY ACQUITTED, Judge Norton Instructs the Jury to Bring in a Verdict of Not Guilty. The trial of Charles W. Montgomery for the murder of lii9 father-in-law, Isaac Baker, some weeks ago, began in the Criminal Court yesterday morning, and came to a summary ending in the afternoon. It will be remembered that whiie Montgomery and Baker wereeugaged in a drunken fight, Scott Seay, another relative, interfered, and si ruck Baker on the head several times with a piece of board. The old man died, and Seay was sentenced to twenty-ono years’ imprisonment for the crime. During his trial and that of Montgomery there was no evidence to establish the fact that the latter was directly instrumental m causing Baker’s death, as it was proveu directly that Seay struck the fatal blows. After nearly all the witnesses had been examined, yesterday, Judge Norton, seeing that a continuance of the case was useless, directed tlie jury to briny m a verdict of acquittal.* In doing this he explained that Montgomery was being tried for manslaughter, and there was not sufficient evidence to sustain such a charge. Tlie prisoner was doubtless guilty of assault aud battery, and had acted in an inhuman and brutal manner, for which lie should be punished, but he was not guilty as charged in the indictment, aud in following out the forms of law a verdict of acquittal must be returned, which was accordingly done. _

The Hoard cf Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen, in a session of more than two hours, last night, did practically nothing. According to railroad time, Mr. Tucker talked, with brief intermissions, for two hours, and finally, at tlie suggestion of the president, moved an adjournment. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Newiuau, Seibert and Hamilton, was directed to sell all the old iron belonging to the city not now in use. The police were directed to enforce the ordinance against the use of toy-pistolsaml against house-moving through the streets. The city attorney was directed to appeal the case of Samuel E. Perkins against the Mayor aud others to the Supreme Court. The following motion, introduced by Mr. Tucker, was adopted: “It is the sense of thi9 Board that no appropriations be made by this Bourd, after this meeting, until estimates for the several aeparrinents for the fiscal year ending January 1, 1884, are made and approved by this Board, or by joint convention of the Board and Council.” The street commissioner was directed to proceed at once to tear out the piles above and under the north arch of East-street bridge, which had been placed there in violation of uu ordinance for the protection of Pogue’s run. In the discussion upon an ordinance providing for paving Market street between Pennsylvania and Delaware streets, witli cedar biocks, Mr. Tficker thought that Medina stone oiurht to be used instead, and declared that the block pavement of Nortli Meridian street is a fraud. It is already worn out in muny places, he said, and the blocks are decaying. It was suggested by Mr. Layman that an experiment iu stone paving should be made on some square, as it would have to be used by tlie city ultimately. The ordinance was defeated, as it could not be amended by sustituting stone instead of cedar blocks for the improvement of the street. Almost Starved to Death* An aged colored man named Jones, who cleaned out saloons fora living, had been missed from the various places where he worked for several days past, and yesterday a search was instituted for him. He was found in his sleepingroom in a block on East Washington street, almost dead from sickness and starvation. He had evidently been so ill for three or four days that he could not leave his bed to get assistance, and none came. His condition is quite critical, aud he was taken to the city hospital. A Great Day for Old Scotia. The last meeting of the Central-avenue Lyceum for the season was devoted to a consideration of Robert Burns. The church was crowded, the chapel being thrown open to accommodate the audience. Mr. Charles Thompson read a sketch of the life of the poet, and readings from his works were given by Mrs. Ida Matthews and Miss Mae Parker, and a recitation by Alice McManus. Musical selections were rendered hv nfr* it a Hunnuman. Miss Jessie Whit-

ridge, Miss Margaret Hill, and Mr. D. F. DeWolf, aud a piano dust by the Misses Schmidlap. The principal feature of the evening was a talk by Rev. Myron Reed of his visit to Ayrshire, and the life and home surroundings of Burns. Os course, the address was greatly enjoyed, the only fault being its brevity. The evening concluded with the singing of “Auld Lang Byne*’ by the entire troupe, and it was sung while the “trusty hand’’ was taken beeween members and friends until the next meeting, Sept. 10. CANDIDATES FOR CLERKSHIPS. The First Examinations in This City Under the New Civil-Service Bill. The examination of Indiana applicants for positions in the postal service was held in this city yesterday by the State Board of Examiners, President Tinsler, David M. Elliott aud Richard J. Craft, under the direction of Judge Thoman, of the Civil-service Commission. There were twenty applicants examined, one of whom was a lady, and only about seven are residents of this city. The examination was conducted in two classes—one for the applicants for positions in the postoffice of this city, and another for the applicants for regular clerkships m the Postoffice Department at Washington. The candidates for local positions were examined on four questions, particular attention being given to their penmanship, their orthography, and their rapidity in writing. The questions upon which the regular examination was conducted were on seven sheets, and related to history, government, arithmetic, book-keeping, geography, grammar, and matters of general political history. The names of the applicants, under the civil-service rules, should bo written on a separate sheet anti inclosed with the answers given to the questions, ft is supposed that the board of examiners do not know* the applicants. The standing of tlie applicants for" local positions will be known in a day or two, but the papers of the candidates seeking employment iu the Postoffioe Department will be forwarded to Washington, and will be there passed upou by the commission.

A LOOSE GAME OF BALL. The Indianapolis Club Defeats the Peoria Reds by a Score of 14 to 4. ■ ■ - . ■ The Peoria Reds, a club that stands well up in the League Alliance race, and has the reputation of being a strong organization, met the Indianapolis club on the Seventh-street grounds yesterday and were defeated by a score of 14 to 4. It was a very loosely played game of ball. The afternoon was chilly and the wind blew hard from the west, making it very difficult to judge fly halls. “Trick” MoSorley, of the ludiauapolia club of 1875, played third base for the visitors in cood 6tyle, and two fine stops and throws to first by McQuaid saved as many base hits for the home club. Peoples aud McKeon carried off both the fielding and batting honors, while such reliable players as Callahan, Dorgan and Kerins made dismal errors. The two clubs will play again to-day and tomorrow, aud much better games may be expected. It was evident that for some reason the Peorlas did not play up to their usual strength yesterday.

REAL ESTATE BROKER—COMMISSION. 9,819. Emanuel Fischer vs. William M. 8011. Warrick C. C. Franklin, C.—A contract to prooure a purchaser for real estate is valid without being in writing. A real estate broker is entitled to his commission when he finds a purchaser ready, willing and able to complete the purchase on the terms given to the broker by the owner. (53 Ind., 294; 49 id., 279; 45 id., 183.) If the owner then refuses to sell the property on the terms offered, or declines doing so for so long a time that the proposed purchaser buys other property, aud refuses threafter to buy on the terms offered, the broker can recover his commission. Judgment affirmed HIGHWAYS —LOCATION OF —NOTICE. 9,958. James S. Mclntyre vs. Lewis Marine. Porter C. C. Black, C.— Section 15 of tbe act of 1852 for the opening of highways is not correctly set out on page 531, R. 8. 1876. Said section was superseded bv the amendment of 1859, and the act of 1867, purporting to amend said section 15 of the act of 1852 was ineffectual because it purported to amend a statute not in existence. This act, both in its title and body, purported to be an amendatory act only, and could not be effectual as an independent statute (46 Ind , 96: 50 id., 194; 73 id., 543.) In Die revision of 18S1 the amended section of 1859 is correctly inserted. (See sec. 5,015.) Under this section it was not necessary to set forth the names of any owners, occupants or agents of lands through which the highway would pass, iu the petition or notice or other papers or proceedings, nor that any such person should have actual notice. (Mills Em. Dom., secs. 94, 98.) Judgment affirmed.

DEMURRER—PRACTICE—MILL-DAM —DEED. 8,213. Jaoob Bchuble vs. David H. Slagel. Shelby C. C. Elliott, J.—Where the plaintiff does not demur to the answer, and a demurrer to his reply is overruled, he is notin a position to claim that the demurrer filed to the reply should have been carried back and sustained to the answer. If the demurrer to the reply is sustained and he excepts the rule is otherwise. A party who secures all he asks in the trial court cannot complain on appeal. Where mill property is conveyed and the height of the dam adds materially to the value of the property, the right to so maintain it is apart of the thing purchased, and if tbe purchaser is deprived of it because ins vendor did nor possess it, he may, without surrendering possession, defend against an action for purchase money as for a partial failure of consideration. (29 Ind., 96.) The right to maintain the dam at such a height as will furnish sufficient waterpower Is an incorporeal hereditament which is included iu a conveyance of the property, and if title fails to it and there is an eviction, there is a breach of the covenants of the deed. (Angell, Watercourses, 7 ed„ section 153 A; 8 Pa. St., 500.) In such a case, where the deed is silent on thevpomt, parol evidence is admissible to show at what height the dam was being maintained when tbe deed was made, and that tlie light to so maintain it was what the plaintiff warranted by his deed. (64 Ind., 162; Angell, supra., section 148; 3 Wash. R. P., 333; 8 Mass., 162.) Judgment affirmed.

Battery A, of the Louisville Light Artillery, commanded by Lieutenant John H. Mausir, lias entered the free-for-all contest of the forthcoming military encampment. The Indiaua Veteran Association in Kansas is trying to get reduced rates to attend the old soldiers’ reunion in this city during the encampment. The association comprises several hundred members. The executive committee of the encampment is co-operating with them, and it is likely that satisfactory arrangements will be made for an excursion. During the week of the military encampment one day will be set apart as “Grand army or old soldiers’ day,” and a call to ox-soldiers signed by over a hundred, has been issued, urging all to unite “iu making it the grandest reunion that has been held in Indiana since the war.’’ The prize drills of companies composing the First Regiment Indiada Veteran Legion, all of whom were soldiers in the war of the rebellion, will beheld the same day of the reunion. Arrangements have been made for transportation over all the railroads reaching this city at reduced rates. General George F. McGinnis is oliairmau of the reunion committee. A Young Man's Insanity. Martin J. F. Kuelin, a well-connected young man of Seymour, was brought here by his relatives, yesterday, for treatment at the Insane Asylum, his mania being the result of mental overwork and religious excitement. After he reached here he became very violent, and was locked up at the station-house, where an inquest de lunatico lnquirendo was held by Dr. C. E. Wright and Justices Feibleman and Woodard, who decided that he was insane, and he was accordingly committed to the asylum. The Collier Damage Suit Dismissed. The damage suit for false imprisonment, brought by W. H. Collier, son of the old man, against Nelson Daubenspeck and others, was yesterday dismissed in Room No. 1, of the Superior Court, after Judge Taylor had sustained the defendant’s demurrer to the complaint. - 1 1 - s A great bargain in night shirts, full length, at Parker’s.

This space will ne handed over to onr enterprising clothier, J. A. McKenzie, who stands at the head of that branch of the trade in Indiana, and has devoted a life to the business. Mr. McKenzie is justly called the “all-wool clothier,” and ablior3 anything iu the “shoddy” Hue of goods, and tells us he has not bought a suit of clothes for rear six years, but lias his goods all made for his establishment, thus knowing just what ho is selliug, and is constantly duplicating stock as fast as jmld. Iu his lines of furnishing goods, he has nearly all his goods manufactured for his trade, or buys goods direct that are manufactured iu Europe, of the importer, thus giving him the advantage over all competition. Scarcely a day passes that he is not shipping coo*ls to different parts of the State, and thus placing his stock, not only before the people of this city, but in this as well as adioiuiug States.

Trusting you will be as fully satisfied with these goods as with others you have had from us, and awaiting your further orders, we remain, deaf sire, yours, very obediently, PATEK, PHILIPPE & CO., Geneve,
