AFFAIRS OF TIIE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. 3. E. Roosevelt, of New York, has been elected president of tlio Chicago & Western Indiana, vice E. B. Stalilman. resigned. A. S. fenrgess, district passenger agent of the Union Pacific road, headquarters Indianapolis, has been so ill for several days as to be confined to his room. Employes on the Wabash system are considerably disturbed over a rumor that there is to be a general cut in wages, and that there is to be a large reduction in employes at the shops. General and assistant general passenger agents E. A. Ford, Jolm Chesbrough. and H. R. Dering, of the Pennsylvania and Vandalia lines, who were in the city yesterday, went to Chicago last night. Samuel Hazzard is an applicant for the position of agent of the Red line at this point, and is strongly impressed with the idea that he is going to get there. Probably the question will be de cided to-day. The West Shore fast-freight line has in the last forty-eight hours taken out a half dozen cars loaded for Now York and New England, being the first shipment. The line is now fairly open for business. R p. Kelley, who succeeds Wm. M. Johnson as assistant general freight agent of the C., 1., St, li. A'. 0.. headquarters at Chicago, was educated with H. W. Hibbard, on the Vandalia, and is a freight man of considerable ability. Alonzo Berry has suffered a relapse, and his physician says he has but one chance in one hundred of getting well. Air. Berry has been or the Bee-line twenty-one years, and for eighteen years as a passenger conductor. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton company will this morning commence running their trains to the junction with the Little Miami. Ludlow Grove, then hack on their tracks to the canal, where passengers will take a canal boat and go toCi scir.nnti A. ii. Southard, assistant to the president ot the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago road, and traffic manager, who ranks among the brightest railroad men in the West, .began his railroad career in 1865. as a peanut hoy on the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road. A railroad official yesterday remarked that the outlook for - business the next few months is good. It remains to he seen, however, whether the managements of Western roads will improve their chances to mako money, or whether they will throw away a fine business in a senseless rate war. Thomas McGill, who represents the interests of ths Central Railroad of Georgia is in the city. He states that as soon as the weather becomes settled and country roads passable there will be a large demand for grain and provisions in the Southern and Southeastern States, and southIwund traffic will bo very heavy. It is a matter of complaint that no chair-cars are hauled on No, 5. known as the Cyclone express, over the Vandalia. This train'has been on a couple of years and has become popular with the traveling public, and were a chair-car attached it would be highly appreciated by the patrons of the road who are willing to pay for such comforts and partial retirement. Superintendent Sherwood, of idle Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road, has for a week past employed men to watch all the bridges, both day and night, while the streams have been so high. At Whitewater river on the eastern division they have experienced some trouble from the waters of the Ohio river hacking up and retarding the flow of Whitewater river. There is good authority for the statement that the Pullman Car Company will not cease to run their sleeping coaches over the Pennsylvania lines on Jan. 26, 1880, when their contract with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company expires. They will continue to improve their service, and the Pennsylvania people will not build the new and magnificent sleeping and hotel cars so much talked about. Cob Bennett H. Young, late president of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road.has gone to New York to attend the annual meeting which is to be held to-day. It is understood that Col. Young will be continued as general solicitor of the road. There seems to be no question as to the selection of J. E. Roosevelt as president, and it is predicted that A. B. Southard will bo made first vice-president. Jr. A. Stephens, president of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, in company with several of the directors of that road, are West looking the property over. They admit that the statement which first appeared in the Indianapolis Journal to the effect that Gould was anxious to secure an entry into Chicago for the Cairo & Vincennes road, which was to connect with the Chicago & Eastern Illinois at Danville, had some foundation, hut negotiations are off for the present, at least.

TROUBLE IN PASSENGER CIRCLES. Hie General Passenger Agents Meet, Restore Rates ami Break Tliem the Next Bay. The general passenger agents of the roads centering at Indianapolis and Columbus, 0.. met on Wednesday at Columbus, 0., signed an agreement to maintain rates and be good boys, as one of the general passenger agents puts it. Iu two hours after the meeting a Bee-line passenger agent cut the agreed rate $2 per ticket, it is stated, on what is known as the military pool, on fifty United States troops, who were to be furnished transportation from Columbus to Leavenworth, Kan. Telegrams were exchanged yesterday between the general passenger agents of the lines interested, and the Bee-line agent assigned as a cause that the Beeline had been ignored by the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg, as being a legitimate route between Columbus and the West, and he, the agent, thought they would show them that they could get this class of business if they choose so to do. Neither are west-bound passenger rates on the few passengers going west from Indianapolis as well maintained as they should ho. One road, through its own agents, is cutting rates, and if reports are true, two others are working through the scalpers, while one takes passengers only who will pay them tariff rales, and consequently is suffering in its business. A DESERVED PROMOTION. Frank Palmer Appointed to an Important Position on tile Wabash Road. P. K. Palmer, familiarly known as Prank, was yesterday appointed general agent of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific road at Chicago, at a $3,000 per year salary. Mr. Palmer has been in the passenger department of the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash proper thirteen years, and is looked upon by his superior officers as being one of the most popular and wide-awake passenger men in the West, therefore they place him in this important position. T. C. Denney, traveling passenger agent on the Missouri Pacific, succeeds Mr. Palmer as district passenger agent, headquarters at Indianapolis. By this cliange H. E. Lange, late general agent at Chicago, is retired from the company's service. Mr. Palmer left, last night, for Chicago, to assume the duties >f his new position. GENERAL NEWS. fhc New West-Bound Pool at the Huh Meeting with Opposition. Boston merchants are not taking kindly to the new west-bound pool out of Boston. Merchants are unwilling to deprive themselves of the privilege of shipping goods via routes of their own selection. One large shipper of merchandise expresses the opinion that the railroad magnates have just as much liberty to dictato to tho passenger traffic of the city tho routes via which it shall travel as they have to control the selection of routes for the freight traffic. The Boston Journal, in speaking of tint pool, says: “In arranging for a raven; west-bound pool upon Boston traffic, we under stand that Commissioner Fink desired to estnb lish his equalizing system in this city. The rep resentatives of the Boston roads, however claimed that tho business center of the Hub was ■too near Faneuil Hall for tho merchants of Bos t nto allow anyone but. themselves to diclat' tue lines by which shipment* controlled by thorn

should be made. The other alternative in the formation of the pool was to arrange what is called a money pool; here the railroad men ran against A stump in the refusal of receiver Clark to pay over for the benefit of other roads any freight earnings the New York & New England might have secured, even if it carried more than the tonnage allowed the road under the pool.” Latest Talked-Of Railroad Extensions, An announcement has been made that the now line of Louisville, New Orleans & Texas, from Memphis to New Orleans, will he in working order May 15. Trains are already running north from Now Orleans 110 miles, and south from Vicksburg 56 miles. The new road will be the link completing the line from Newport News, on the Chesapeake, to New Orleans. There is also a prospect of soon going through to the Pacific by this route without a break. The construction of a road from Chippewa falls to St Paul by the Wisoonsin Central has been decided upon, and the preparations are to be pushed forward so that work can be begun as soon as the season will permit. The new road will he about 100 miles long, and will cross the Mississippi at or near Stillwater. Minn. The projectors hope to begin work this spring and complete the road before the close of the present year. The .Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western will be continued from its present terminus in northern Michigan, at Watersweet, in a northwesterly direction to the Montreal river during the present season. This will be done in order to obtain a connection with the Northern Pacific, it being understood that the Northern Pacific will complete its line between Superior City and Ashland this season. Whether the Northern Pacific will carry the line east from Ashland to the Montreal river is not yet known. Changes on the Northern Pacific Road. The Northern Pacific has announced its intention to push on its main line toward the Cascade Mountains, in Washington Territory, and is letting contracts from Ainsworth to Yakima City, twenty five miles up the Yakima river. Mr. Villard's trinity of corporations has been pretty much broken up, and new arrangements are said to he pending between the Northern Pacific and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, contemplating a lease of the latter to the former. Their interests will be one for some years yet. On March 1, John Muir retires from the superintendency of traffic of all these companies, to ac cept the' general management of the Oregon Improvement Company. Mr. Hannaford will become general freight agent for the Northern Pacific main line and branches; A. L. Stokes will be made general passenger and freight agent for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company; E. P. Rogers is expected to take charge of the business of the Oregon & California railway, a position he formerly held, and the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, being controlled by the Oregon Improvement Company, will come under Mr. Muir's management. A Wrecked Property, So much has been said of the wretched condition of the Danville, Olney & Ohio River road, that the following remarks made by a party fully conversant with the situation, will be read with interest. When asked what is the real condition of the property, he said: The fact is, the road is a complete wreck. But one engine is running. It goes up one day and down the next, but no one knows when St is coming. The rest of the eugines are laid up or in the ditch. The men are demoralised and the people are worse. They can depend on nothing, and all business is driven away. The people demand to know how long this is to continue. Have they any rights the Eastern bondholders are bound to respect! 'Hie road was built under the laws of Illinois, and cannot the people of that State be protected? Receiver Howard has tried to run the road from a luxurious office in Boston, and the men he brought here run things to suit themselves. They are a bad lot. Won’t somebody come to our relief? The Erie People Becoming Uneasy. Tlio freight officials of the Erie lines were in conference yesterday at Cleveland, T. A. Lewis, Western manager being in attendance. These officials meet, it is understood, to prepare for an open warfare on rates, unless, at the meeting in New York of presidents, to morrow, a general disposition is shown to restore rates and act honorably in the matter. Unquestionably the Erie lines have better maintained rates the last sixty days than at any time previous in their history.

Something of a Surprise. A. J. Smith, general passenger agent of the Bee-line, objects to allowing the differential rates to the Indiana, Bloomington & Western roads, as proposed by the Trunk-line Passenger Pool Association. This is unite an important matter, as it was supposed that the Bee-line people would be the last to raise objections of this character, and the outeome will he watched with much interest. Miscellaneous Notes. J. D. Layng, general manager of tho New York, West Shore & Buffalo railroad, says that the traffic over that road is increasing so rapidly that the necessity for additional rolling stock wiil soon be upon them. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad management have petitioned the Railroad Commissioners of Kansas for a rehearing upon their decision to reduce the tariff rates of the road within the State of Kansas. The Topeka Board of Trade has adopted a strong address to the people of the State, expressing disfavor with tho recent decision of the State Board of Railway Commissioners, fixing cast-iron rates on the Atchison road. , The Stockholder says: “Certainly something seems to he going ou looking to a change in tho direction of the Chicago & Rock Island road. And rumor has it now' that at the last election Mr. Vanderbilt was the holder of 12,000 instead of 6,000 shares.’’ Tho traffic of all the roads into Chicago was about 900,000 tons greater last year than for 1882, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy having done twico the tonnage of any other road, Northwest coming second, Rock Island third, and St. Paul a close fourth. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company talk of erecting a depot at Jersey City similar in character to their elegant and commodious passenger station at Philadelphia. Two new piers are to he built at Harsimer's Cove, North river, for freight business, and piers D and E devoted to Passenger traffic. The Southern roads are preparing for heavier shipments of fruits and garden truck to the Northern markets titan ever before. The orange crop of Florida more than doubled during the last five years, and the increase of the production of other fruits and of vegetables has been almost as remarkable. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road in tho year 1883 carried into Chicago 1.521,226 barrels of flour, the greatest number delivered at that point by any one road. The Chicago, Burlington <fc Quincy, however, carried nearly 30,000,000 bushels of com, against 8,000,000 by St, Paul, 10.543,000 by Rock Island, and about 9,000,000 by Chicago & Northwestern. Tho Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo Railroad Company has issued a circular announcing that it will transport through California freight in connection with the Southern Pacific from Kansas City, Atchison or Denver without breaking bulk. Owing to the close relations of the Atclii son with the Burlington road, it is thought that the latter company will he included in tho through-car service by the Southern route at an early day. The law regarding passenger rates recently passed by the Legislature of South Carolina, provides that no company in that State whose pas senger earnings exceed $1,200 per mile of road per year shall charge more than 3 cents per mile for each passenger. Rriads earning over S7OO per mile and less than $1,200 shall be allowed to charge 4 cents per mile. Each psssenger shall he allowed to carry 100 pounds of baggage with out extra charge. The People's World-Wide Verdict. Burnett's Cocoaine has been sold in every civilized country, and the public have rendered tho verdict that it is the cheapest and best hair (reusing in tho world. Burnetts Flavoring Extracts are invariably acknowledged the purebt and best.

TIIE RECORD 0E TIIE COURTS Supremo Court—Feb. 13. Hon. Geo. V. Ilowk. Chief Justice. PROCEEDING SUPPLEMENTARY TO EXECUTION. 11297. Adams Earl et al. vs. John Skilcs et al. Huntington 0. C. Zollars, J.—Where a judgment debtor has property subject to execution sufficient to satisfy the execution against him, resort cannot be had to tlio extraordinary remedy of a proceeding supplementary to execution, (llnd. Law Mag., 312.) Hence the affidavit must show that the debtor has property which he unjustly refuses to apply toward the satisfaction of the judgment. R. 8.. sec. 81(>; 39 Ind.. 405.) In this respect the affidavit aud proof in this case are wholly wanting. Judgment affirmed. EVIDENCE—INSTRUCTION. 11197. Prank Henry vs. Milton P. Davis. Montgomery C. C. Howk, C. J.—Appellant sued for the death of his cow, caused by drinking brine from a fish barrel negligently left exposed on the sidewalk by appellee. The evidence showed that a passer-by saw some cows around the barrel and emptied the brine out oti the ground, whereupon the cows drank up from the ground what brine they could get. and ate the salt. The court charged the jury that they could not find for the plaintiff, unless the evidence showed that the cow drank the fish-brine out of the barrel, and died from the effects of what she drank out of the barrel. This was error. The act of the passer-by, in pouring the brino into the street, was a natural a’ud probable consequence of the negligent act of the appellee, in leaving the brine in an exposed and unsafe place, and appellee was liable for the loss of the cow even if she died from what she drank from the street. ($2 Ind., 426; 114 Mass., 149; Cooley on Torts, p. 178.) Judgment reversed. ASSAULT AND BATTERY —VENIRE DE NOVO. 7,921. Sylvester Johnson et al. vs. Lydia R. Putnam. Marion S. C. Franklin, C.—Appellee sued appellants for assault and battery, in forcibly ejecting her from a schoolhouse in which she had been employed to teach by persons claiming to bo the legal trustees of the school. The third paragraphs of answer were insufficient, but, if held good, all the material allegations contained in them were admissible under the second special paragraph, and the sustaining of the demurrer to them was harmless. If the jury, in their special verdict, fail to find upon all the issues, a motion for a venire de novo will lie. But each allegation in the complaint and answer is not to form a separate and distinct issue in the case. Some of them may be immaterial or unimportant. The issues in this case were: Did the defendants commit an assault and battery upon the plaintiff: were they justifiable or excusable in what they did; were they guilty or not guilty/ (60 Ind., 153.) If the special verdict is silent as to any fact in issue, that fact is to be regarded as not proved by the party upon whom the burden of proof lies. If there was proof of a fact not found, the remedy is by motion for anew trial. (72 Ind., 26, 67; see 66 Ind.. 386.) The objections to the special verdict are not well taken. The case cannot be reversed on the ground of excessive damages. Judgment affirmed. NON-FORFEITING INSURANCE POLICY —PREMIUM NOTES. 10972. Franklin Insurance Company vs. William Wallace, administrator. Marion S. C. Elliott. J.—Appellant, a mutual insurance company, on Aug. 7, 1860. Issued to Hall a policy of life insurance, which was "non-forfeiting.” The policy provided that in case all tho ten annual premiums should not be paid the company would pay SSOO for every annual premium paid. The complaint alleged that two premiums had been paid, to which it was answered that the premiums were paid one half in eash and the other by note, and that the note was never paid. Reply that the note was received as payment; that it lmd long been tho custom of the company to apply dividends due its members to the payment of suen notes, and that there were dividends due Hall sufficient to pay the note. This reply was good. Such a policy should not bo declared forfeited for non-payment of premiums if there are circumstances equitably excusing payment. The note provided that it should remain a lien on the policy until it became due by limitation or by the death of Hall, the dividends on the policy to be applied to the note. Courts will not permit a forfeiture where the party asking it has not done all that equity requires of him. It was tho duty of appellant to apply dividends to tlie note. (97 Pa. Bt., 15; 39 Wis., 397.) The policy and the note are to bo read together, and in construing them the acts of the parties are to exert an important influence. (80 Ind., 580; 75 id., 1; 81 id., 300.) The note worked a payment of the premium, and evideucod a loan of money from the company, and its non-pay-ment could not operate to revoke a right fixed the moment it was accepted. (23 Minn.. 491; 36 O. Bt.. 51; 95 U. S., 269; 40 lowa, 357.) Hall paid premiums in cash and notes that carried his policy until August, 1868, and in April, 1868. a dividend of 50 per cent, was declared. To this dividend Hall was entitled. Judgment affirmed.

(?OU'{s44Al£' It is a fact that remedies almost without number, already contest the claim to cure all the ills that afflict Buffering humanity. Thousands have found them powerless to work a cure for them. No diseases have so baffled all attempts at permanent relief as have Rheumatism and Neuralgia. A long succession of disappointments has made their agonized victims despair of the possibility of euro. For centuries they liave been considered beyond the power of medical skill to cure. . And yet we say both can be cured, and that Athlofhoros will do the business. The best proof that it can do it is that it has done it Kev. 8. R. Dennen, D.D., pastor Third Congregational Church, New Haven, Conn. Rheumatism had kept him from the pulpit four or five months at a time. He says he hail suffered all that one could, and live. He took his first dose of Athlophorob on Friday ; Sunday he was in his pulpit; Monday he was well, and has remained so since. Ecv. 'William P. Corbit, D.D., pastor George St. M. E.
