Movement Which Will Drive Live Stock Traffic Away. For years past the Bee-line and Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg people have had matters, so Xar as the handling of live stock is concerned, much their own way, but within the lust two mouths the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis and the Indiana, Bloomington & Western have come into the field as competitors, and now companies are anxious to establish an aud Indianapolis live-stock pool and j all stock shipped east weighed and billed at actual weight. Os course the new competitors object, feeling .that they would suffer through its operation in this traffic. While they might go into a live stock e.ist-bound pool they could hardly afford to take the other step, and In fact the older line could not do so either, as that moment the Indianapolis roads place themselves at the mercy of the Wabash, the Ohio <fc Mississippi and the Chicago roads, which do not ■weigh their live stock and bill it out at actual ■weight-. H. W Hibbard, general freight age.nt of the Vandalia, as well as General Freight Agents Diehl, of the 1., B. <fe W., and McLeod, of the C.. H. AI. oppose it. Mr. Hibbard expresses the opinion that with such a weapon as that all live eiock going through Indianapolis should Vie weighed and billed at actual weight from this poiut. Btook agents of the Chicago roads and of the Wabash would gather in nearly every bead of stock shipped east from St. Louis, Illinois and western Indiana. AN EXCELLENT RECORD. Colonel Joseph Hill in the Front as an Educator of Railroad Men. In a familiar talk, yesterday, Colonel Joseph Hill, superintendent of the Vamlaiia, dropped the remark that eight of his boys were now superintendents of railways. The railroad reporter of the Journal, catching on to the remark, pakcd for an explanation. He then went on and frave the names of eight railroad superintendents who commenced under him their railroad life, as follows: J. G. Metcalf, superintendent of the Louisville & Nashville main line; James Leonard, superintendent of the Anderson, Lebanon & St. Louis, and also receiver of the road; D. T. Bacon, superintendent of the southern division of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road; J. Riser, superintendent of the lowa division of the Chicago & Northwestern road; George Hurd, superintendent of the New York dc New England road, eastern division; W.'H. Hartman, superintendent of the Lake Erie & Wheeling; W. G. Bala, superintendent of the Chicago & Indianapolis Air-line, ami George Stevens, superintendent of several divisions of the Wabash system. Messrs. Salaand Btevens commenced with him as office boys. Both showed a good deal of ability, and he promoted them as their experience would justify in all cases. George Stevons, he said, ho was especially interested in. He cam© to him rather a dirty-looking boy at the age of thirteen, but exceedingly bright. Although n mere office boy, he, in a lew weeks, learned to handle a telegraphic irsirament quite skillfully, learning the art during his leisure moments. At. the age of eighteen he was appointed agenr and operator, at Dalton, on the Chicago, St. Louis A Pittsburg road. In a couple of years he gave Uiui a more important s avion. At tlie age of twenty-two he was appointed train master of the Chicago, St. Louis &. Pittsburg, Chicago division, and so well did he do- that Colonel Hill entrusted much of his most important business to him. Mr. Stevens remained with the Colonel until he accepted the. position of divisiou super intetident on the Wabash road, and he now has fix divisions tinder his supervision. There were Incidents in the history of each of the others named which we cannot well publish for want of room, but every young man in railroad service can draw valuable instruction from tho above.

THE ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT. A Satisfactory Tost of the Wooley Electric Locomotive Headlight. Ar.other test of the Wooley electric locomotive headlight was made last night at the Gilliland electrical worts. Since the test mentioned Ja the Journal some thirty days since, at the bolt works, Severn 1 , minor improvements have been made which siiil nearer perfects Its operations, and the invention now promises to be a perfect success. In the experimenting last night the numbers on freight cars standing on a side-track one-third of a mile distant could be seen distinctly, and on windows twice that distance the reflection was brilliant. General Manager Maloti has consented to the testing of one of these lights on the licit road, and a company has been organized to introduce the light. Numerous letters of inquiry as regards the light have already been received. THE BELT ROAD. Roads Hauling Their Own Cars 0%-er the Belt to Fay 43 Cents Per Car. The troublesome question as to what railroad companies shall pay for the transfer of cars over the Belt road, where a company handles the cars with Us own locomotives, has been settled at last—43 cents per car agreed upon, and 80 cents per car when hauled by the Belt-road engines. For eight months past the Bee-line &Dd Indianapolis & Bt. Louis road, and the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Sr. Louis & Chicago, for gome three months, have oeeu using the Belt, transferring their own cars. Neither, during that time, have paid any money into the Beltroad Company, pending the settlement of the question of what should the transfer charge be. GENERAL NEWS. Rumored that the General Officer, of the L. E. & W. Are To Be Removed. The citizens of Muncie, lud., and of Bloomington, 111,, are making earnest efforts to secure the general offices of the Lake Erie & Western road, which are, it is reported, to be removed from Lafayette. Munoie lias made the most flattering proposition, they agreeing, in consideration of the location of the general offices of the company at Muncie, to erect a handsome business block opposite the Kirby House, the building to be constructed according to plans and specifications furnished by the L.

The Reorganization Scheme Will Satisfy All Parties. V. T. Malott, vice-president and general manager of the Union Railway Company, last evening remarked that he had carefully examined the proposed plan for a reorganization of the Union Railway Company, and he was satisfied that it was so equitable and so well covered all questions over which there had been trouble, that directors of all roads running in here would without hesitancy accent its oondirieus and become members "f tne Union Railway Company reorganized. He had been manager of a road which had been an outsider for twenty years, mid were he now its manager he would heartily urge liis directors to accept its conditions. ————♦ ... PERSONAL AND LOCAL.

THE ROMANCE OF A LIFE. A Golden Wedding? Anniversary and Its Story of Success. A Tale That Reads I.ike One es the Arabian Nights—How John and Thomas Moore Built Their Fortuues. One of the most delightful social occasions of the week was the golden wedding of John Moore and his wife Sarah, nee Sarah Bouser, who live on the National road, a mile east of this city. On Wednesday a large number of their friends and all of their living children and grandchildren met to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, coming to the old homestead with numerous presents and hearty good wishes. There is a spice of romance in the history of Mr. Moore, and little less in the history of his excellent wife, which at i?ass shows the possibilities of life in this free country. John Moore was born in county Fermanagh, Ireland, Nov. 8, 1806, the first of a family of eight, who emigrated to America in 1824. After a voyage of sixty-three days they landed at Philadelphia, aud spent a few weeks enjoying the hospitality of several who had known them in Ireland, and then pushed westward to seek some relatives in Western Pennsylvania aud Ohio. The transportion to Pittsburg of the eight cnildren, one of whom was o'dy eighteen months old, and the parents was by means of a tive-liorse team which was chartered for the occasion by three families, under the stipulation that the older oues were to walk up the hills. At Pittsburg they were met by wagons from Bealsville, some forty miles south, sent by the father of Mrs. Moore, who had preceded them some twelve years, and was already a well-to-do farmer in Washington county. Here the father left the family, to go on foot to Zanesville, 0., to visit a brother and seek employment. He had been gone but a few days when the wife and mother sickened and died, of whieh sad event he knew nothing until his return, after two or three weeks’ absence. By this calamity his plans were greatly thwarted, but with true Irish pluck the two boys, John and Thomas, and four of the girls—leaving the babe and an older girl with the grandparents, starred for the vicinity of Zanesville. Hero they spent tour or five years, the father employing himself In weaving for the neighbors and teaching his son John to weave also, so that by the boys working indoor and out at twenty-five cents a day, when they could get it, aud the father at the loom, for such traffic as he could obtain, the family manag' and to live comfortably until the elder Moore took a sub-contract on the grading of the National road, then Ju process of construction through Ohio. Asa part of their joint earning*, a few years before, were two colts, which had now become two horses, and by piecemeal, they had obtained the running gears of a wagon. Now working for the wood-work and now for the ironing, it was not difficult to make two carts out of the wagon, and thus equipped, with two horses and two carts, they began to work on tbe road. Though a sub-con tract or there was money in it, and they cleared about S3OO, which, however, they never got, as the contractor drew the money and then broke up. But, encouraged by the success of the work, t hey took a contract direct from the government, on another section of the road and cleared #I,OOO. About, the same time the National road, in Marion county, was to be let, and the elder Mr. Moore came to Indianapolis od horseback, in the fail of 1830. and bid for the mile which extends easward from the present crossing of the “Belt," east of the city, and in January, 1831, the family, now reunited, reached their nature home, and, completing a log-cabin that had been begun on land now known as the Graves farm—then belonging to Mr. Kinder, and tendered free of rent—they were prepared for work. The elder Mr. Moore had now become a bloated contractor with more than a thousand dollars capital, besides oxen and carts and wagons, picks, perapors, shovels and spades, and he employed from four to six ‘‘laborers’* to help him and his boys. The contract was finished according to specifications and the money received therefor. Not so with some other sections. One, including the till at Grassy creek, had to be relet under new specifications, the first grade not being wide enough or high enough, and for this the Moores were rhe contractors. One or two other sections, near Cumberland; had been abandoned by the original contractors, forfeiting tho reserved 20 per cent. The Moores had the oxen and carts and the pluck to take these unfinished jobs, get reasonable compensation and the reserved 20 per cent, besides. Meanwhile, oxen and wagons increased, aud they took tbe contract to haul stone front Mooiesvilie and llie ninffs for capping on the culverts, which were built wih perpendicular wails ami covered with flagging-stone, and when tiie time for macadamizing the road came they rook the contract to put the broken stone on the first mil© east of th entrance of (he Rockville road into the National, west of Eagle creek, which was done by picking up the “niggerhead" boulders whieh lay profusely over all the woods and the few fields that had been cleared, and which were cheerfully “donated" tortile sake of getting rid of them. These were hauled and broken into proper size, no one seeming to know that Eagle creek and White river abounded in gravel, the very best material in the world for road-bed, all ready broken to baud. In their lino as contractors they contracted with James Blake, James M. Ray and Dr. Coe for removing tne trees aud stumps from the first acre and a half that was dedicated to the old cemetery on Kentucky avenue. As has been said the Moores brought with them from Ohio SI,OOO or more. Their out fir for business was so simple aud cheap that what little of this was absorbed at first was more than replaced by the Ist of October, and they began to look for a safer place to put it than the shanty they lived in. About this time it began to be bruited about that tiie man .vlio had bought the quarter section lying south ol the State road, a half a mile east of the present Deaf and Dumb Institute, wanted to sell, aud that he asked $1,300 for it. Os course no one suspected the Irish contractor of having real estate aspirations, and if he had, where was the money to uoiue from! By listening to the neighborhood gossip, the Moores learned that it belonged to a man by the name of Kitcholl, who lived at Palestine, in Crawford county, Illinois, about thirty mile* below Terre Haute. One morning, about the first of October, 1831, the old man and his sou John, then about twenty-five years old, were missing from the job, but no one soem. and to know or care where they were. In about three days, however, they turned up at Palestine with $1,200 about their persons. They soon found that Mr. Kitchell wanted to sell very badly, for lie wanted to buy a quarter section of prairie land near Palestine which had a frame house on it, while Ins Indianapolis land was an impenetrable forest of walnut, oak, poplar and other worthless timber, all of which had to be deadened aud chopped off and burned before it could be utilised, amt that quarter of prairie, with its frame house, could be had for $1,200. The Moores found in the conversation that he owned also another 160 acres near Indianapolis—the quarter long known as the Yoke farm on tiie west, side of the .Shelby pike, a mile south of the donation. Thev feigned a desire to purchase that prairie quarter with its frame house, but finally concluded to take the two quarters near Indianapolis for #l,200 if Mr. Kitchell would prefer to have that prairie quarter and its frame house. He preferred, and ihey closed the purchase ou the 14th dav of October, 1831. But when they came to count out the money there arose a difficulty no longer known in America, thanks to our better financial system. Nearly half their money was oil Ohio banks, and that was 15 per cent, below Indiana and Illinois paper, aqd Kitchell would not rake it at less than that. They, however, assorted out the good Indiana and Illinois paper, paid that, and took a contract to pay the balance in standard IHinoiß or ludiaua in a given time. They returned to Indianapolis with the worthless Ohio stuff, wuere they found it very convenient to get Illinois money for it, aud tb elder Moore, with his son Thomas, returned to Palestine and goi the deed for the 320 acres, all of whioh is yet in the family of tiie Moores, as Mrs. Yoke is a daughter of the purchaser. Road-making proved so profitable that by August. 1832. there was on hand another surplus of several hundred dollars of unexpended money. The man who owned the 120 acres on the Brookville road, a half mile south of the National road, wanted to sell and go west, and the elder Thomas Moore gave hun #550 or it, and the junior Thomas Moore, now a man in the seventies, lias lived there more than a half century. Os the later history of this family little need lie said. The golden wedding which suggested this reminiscence proves that the stalwart roadbuilders were not insensible to tiie ehanus of women. No two men stand higher in this community as men of integrity and sterling worth than John Moore and his brother Thomas, the boys of 1824, the now venerable grandsires of to day. Os the family of eight children who crossed tiie ocean in that vessel in 1824,

six yet live, and all lived until wirhin about t*o years. They are ail connected by marriage and consanguinity with the best element of this community. Few who saw that little band of emigrants trudging over the mountains in 1824, with thoir all of earthly wealth occupying only a third part of one wagon, after making room for the little ones too young to walk, could nave anticipated such a future for them. It is but one example of thousands of the possibilities of this country, in the bauds of industry aud sobriety. FINALLY COMPROMISED. The Farman Heirs Finally Agree to Divide the Estate Without Further Litigation. • Binec the death of Frauois L. Farman, who will be remembered as a wealthy contractor of this city, his heirs have been involved in continued Irrigation over his estate. Buit was first brought by his chi.dren to set aside his will on the ground that when it was made he was not mentally responsible, and the decision of the court was in their favor. Since then one of the heirs, George Farman, a son by a former marriage, has had a guardian over him, because he was incapable of managing his own affairs on account of continued dissipation, and the administrator of the estate, Adam Scott, has not been able to effect au amicable settlement among tiie heirs. The will case was appealed to the Supreme Court, ami yesterday the decision of the lower court was affirmed. However, a compromise has finally been effected, by whioh the estate is to be equally divided between the five heirs, and to prevent further litigation, George is made oue of tlicse. The estate is supposed to be valued at about $85,000. When Mr. Scott made Ins report to the court in February last, it made the following showing: Cash on hand, $6,700; personal property, $269.62; real estate, appi aised at $56,600; total, $88,584. From the proceeds of the estate, about SIO,OOO is to go to John H. Farman and Mrs. Carmichael, brother and sister of trie deceased, aud the remainder is to be equally divided between the children, giving each about $15,000, Articles of agreemout to this effect were drawn up yesterday, and will be signed to-day. This will put an end to the litigation, which has occupied the attention of the courts for many months. Base Ball. The Indianapolis club went to Danville, yes terday, and played the local club, winning by a score of 13 to 10. Errors, Dnnville 8, Indianapolis 6; base hits, 9 each.
