'AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal aucl Local. X, M. & I. trains are now ruimiug through to Louisville and Now Albany without transfer or •detention. William K. MeKeen, president of the \ andalia, passed through the city last night, eu route tfor New York. Paymaster Shepherd will to-day pay on the Detroit & Indianapolis division of the AN abash for January service. J. W. King. jr.. has resigned as ticket agent of the Pennsylvania lines in the Richmond ofand has returned to Indianapolis. The Ohio & Mississippi people are reaching | Cincinnati over the C., 1.. St. L. & C., running ■their trains via Vornon and Greenshurg. Patentees of ear grain doors are now becoming as numerous and annoying to railroad officials as are patentees of automatic brakes, car-coup-lcrs, etc. George Russell, of Cleveland, 0., assistant secretary and treasurer of the Bee-line system, was in the city yesterday, and left for St. Louis at midnight. “Curtail expenses'* is the motto of the new management of the L., N. A. & C., and in all departments where a man can b * cut off without detriment to the department in which lie is employed he is discharged. H. P. Wetsell, agent of the Vandalia at this point, received a telegram last evening to the effect that the Vandalia, and Illinois Central, and Jackson route is taking New Orleans business through without any delays. William H. Gays, general freight agent of the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, is quoted as saying that he did not know on what rates property was being carried out of St. Louis, us the rates were fixed oast of Indianapolis. Business is rallying nicely. There was more activity, yesterday, about the city freight depots than any day for two weeks past, and the movement of trains over the Union tracks, as well, indicated a marked increase in local traffic. Next week six elegant new Woodruff coaches are to he shipped from the Wilmington, Del., shops. Three are to be run between Columbus and Peoria, over the 1., B. & W., and three will be placed on the Grand Rapids & Indiana road. General Superintendent McLeod and Chief Engineer Pierson, of the L., N. A. & C. system, are this week out on their inspection trip for the purpose of examining bridges over the creeks ami rivers of the entire line, including the Indianapolis division. The fact that the Red line has appointed a new agent at Indianapolis, and has opened for business at several new points, of late, Kansas City being of the number, indicates the scheme of consolidating the Red line and Canada Southern has been abandoned, at least for the present. Under the east bound passenger pool on Indianapolis business the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg road carried the largest per cent., the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago ranked second, tho Bee-line third, 'the Wabash fourth, the Indiana, Bloomington & Western fifth. The secretary of the Indianapolis Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents has issued a circular showing the differential rates from Indianapolis to Eastern cities granted the 1., B. & W. Railway Company by the joint executive committee ’at a meeting held in New York, January, 1884; rates to take effect Feb. 16, 1881 General freight agents are looking for lively business as soon as the weather is favorable and railroads are in shape to move grain and provisions. In the Southern and Southeastern States there is a large demand for both, and the order demand from interior points of Pennsylvania. Now York and New England is quite pressing. That the heavy rains and floods of ten days past have not seriously damaged the tracks of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road is evidenced in the fact that the fast express No. 2 yesterday morning left Indianapolis ten minutes late, and. although its time is very fast, the train reached the slowing up point, Southside, Cincinnati, but three minutes 'ate. A general freight agent of a leading through line yesterday remarked that the present prospects were more favorable to a war in freight rates than they had been at any time for two years. He could hardly see how one could be avoided unless matters straighten up greatly in the next few days. The Stockholder predicts a war of rates which will involve almost everything east of the Missouri river. Passenger men are at their wits* end to understand why the Bee-line people are so negligent regarding their passenger business at this point. ■While their competitors have offices in prominent buildings m the city, and have two or three men watching the corners for business, tho Bee-line and I. & St. L. have a little, cheap, back-out-of-the-way room in the Union Block, and on the door hangs an old pasteboard on which is written, in blue ink. “Passenger office of the Bee-line and I. & St. L. road,” and seldom is there any representative of the company in it, as Mr. Nichols, much of the time, is obliged to he absent from the city; and what is the more surprising is that when the general officers of the Bet) line know that their passenger traffic is suffering from such neglect they pay no attention to the wishes of local officers in tho matter. Value of tlie TANARUS., C. & St. L. Securities. The patient bondholders of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road are questioning the value of their holdings. The future of this nar-row-gauge affair is so uncertain that the value of the bonds depends upon many contingencies. Should the system become dismembered, as it probably will be to a certain extent, two of the divisions already praying for separation, there will be one policy for each of those divisions, and another for those which remain in the system. The value of the bonds on a given division will depend upon the policy governing that division. Should the system hold together, and the bonds bo consolidated into two divisions, as has been proposed, the value of the bonds now outstanding on * given division will depend upon the basis of consolidation, and be further affected by the amount of money expended to put the property in suitable condition for business, as a narrow or standard gauge. Some millions of dollars are likoly to be required for this purpose, and whatever is required, whether issued in the form of receiver’s certificates or as under anew mortgage, is certain to be a lien before the present mortgage. The most comforting thought to the present bondholder is the almost unanimous testimony of competent witnesses that the road is favorably located for business, and in good hands is sure of a satisfactory development. Differential Preferable to Cut Rates. Commissioner Fink answered the protest of the Bee-line, the C., 1., St. L. & C., C., W. & B. and B. & O. roads against the allowing of a differential rate to the 1., B. & W. road in a manner which will put a quietus on such protest, for a time at least. He indirectly intimated that it was rather dishonorable for these roads to enter protest under the circumstances. The 1., B. & W., up to tho present time, had carried but 2 per cent of the through passenger business east from Indianapolis since the pool was established, and it would be much better to allow them a differential rate and give them a chance to increase their per cent, than to have them cut east hound passenger rates and demoralize matters generally, hoping thereby to force a recognition of their rights. The Eel River Road. The Indianapolis. Eel River <fc Western railroad project is commanding considerable attention from tho business men in this city, and along tho proposed lino. Chief Engineer Devore says that undoubtedly they will be throwing <lirt within thirty days. The road, as now located, will parallel the Vandalia, at a distance of some thirteen miles from Indianapolis, to the crossing of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago; then it bears southward to Bowling Groen. where it is twenty-three miles south of tho Vandalia: here the road bears south west ward, paralleling the Evansville & Terre Haute road, an average of sixteen miles distant, on to Vincennes. On tho south, the

average distance of tho Indianapolis & Vincennes road is eighteen miles, the distance widening rapidly after leaving the Marion county line. So, it will be seen that neither the Vandalia nor the Indianapolis & Vincennes will likely suffer to any great extent through tho traffic this road would naturally draw. The distance from Indianapolis to Vincennes will be 113 1-2 miles, against 117 by the 1. A A', road. Eighty-seven miles of the right of way is already secured. Between Indianapolis and tlte crossing of the L., N. A. & C. road construction work will be light. Between the.L., N. A. A (\ crossing and Bowling Green there is a good deal of heavy work. Yet. Mr. Devore promises to build and equip the road at a cost not to exceed $20,000 per mile. As well as striking new coal fields, this road will open tin thousands of acres of timber land—hickory, oak, sugar tree and poplar. Just the class of material Indianapolis manufacturers want. The Future of the Wabash. A Wabash railroad official, who was in the city last evening, says that this system has taken a new lease of life, with A. A. Talmage at the head of matters, who is the best organizer and transportation man in railroad service. The road and its equipments will be nut in the best condition. His first move will be to lay tho main line with a heavy good steel rail, then increase the locomotive power, now badly run down, with their own engines rebuilt and new ones, until the power is ample to handle any amount of business offered. Tho official says that Colonel Andrews will soon step down and out, and with him several subordinate officials of the “Colonel's” appointment. Trains will be run to suit, as far as possible, the wishes of the patrons of the road. Train men are not to be movedjaboufc so frequently as to take on the character of tramps, and officials who think that ability lies in cursing a man who chooses to disagree with an official \\ ill be dropped out. In fact, he states that the policy of tho management will be to treat the patrons of the road and employes on it in a manner to command their respect and good will. Yesterday the following changes and appointments were announced officially on the Gould system: George Olds, promoted to general traffic manager, in charge of freight and passenger traffic both systems; George w. Lilley, late of the Texas As St. Louis, is appointed traffic manager of the Wabash and all lines in the Gould system north of Denison and Texarkana. andW. H. Newman, traffic manager of all roads south of those points. More changes expected. The Pullman Palace-Car Company. George M. Pullman, president of the Pullman Palace-car Company, has addressed a circular letter to the stockholders concerning the operations of tlie last fiscal year of the company in which he states: Contracts for the operation of the cars of the company wore concluded with eight additional railroads, including the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and tlie Central and Southern Pacific railway system, covering over 10,000 miles of road. Renewals were made with four important companies, including the Union Pacific and Louisville A Nashville systems, covering over 7,000 miles of road. Tho number of new cars completed and put in service during the year was sixty-five, costing $980,315.40. Tlie number since Aug. 1. tho beginning of the present fiscal year, is thirty-seven, costing $520,100. The number of cars now being constructed for sendee under contracts recently made is sixtynine, the cost of which is put at $1,000,000. Arbitration Su gges ted. There is another Danville, Olney A: Ohio River circular out, this time by the so-called Ware party, contrasting its plan of salvation with the Corbin plan, and responding to the action of the Corbin people iu meeting together and resolving that their plan was the better of the two. The Boston Herald asks how would it do for the opposing parties iu this unfortunate controversy to refer the question to disinterested arbitrators, with instructions to report a sensible business plan of reorganization which could be generally approved! Not that there is an absence of sense in either plan as proposed, but. that there ought to be some common ground to meet upon. Unless there is an early change in the management of the property there will be nothing left to arbitrate on, says one of the attorneys, except tho right of way. Miscellaneous Notes. The scarcity of storage room in Chicago elevators continues to be severoly felt by the railroads centering there. Since Jan. 1, the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul road has earned $2,079,000 against $1,902,050 for tho corresponding period of 1883. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company handled in the month of January 212,323 tons of anthracite coal, an increase of 50,405 tons over the tonnage handled the corresponding month, 1883. The Illinois Central Railroad Company is now building a large percent, of its rolling-stock in the South, at their shops at Water Valley and McComb City, and for their cars they use Southern timber exclusively. The machine shops of the Illinois Central railroad at McComb City are very extensive and complete in their appointments. Receiver Clark, of the New York & New England railroad, finds that the fixed charges—that is, interest on bonds and debt, rents and taxes—now amount to $1,320,000 a year, while the real net earnings for the last quarter were at the rate of less than $400,000 a year! That is not a very brilliant prospect. It looks as though foreclosure was inevitable. Mention was made a short time ago that the New York Central people had decided to enlarge the Grand Central depot. The New York Tribune says that what is proposed is tlie building of practically another depot alongside and east of the present structure. To do this. Fourth avenue will have to be closed to the public from Fortysecond to Forty-fifth streets, and permission will be asked of tho Legislature that this may bo done. The president of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company recently stated that the canal, as a medium of transportation, was no longer of value, and that the business over the line could be done cheaper by rail; so much cheaper, in fact, that while the canal exists and the railroads must he built, he expressed the belief that at no very distant day the water and the boats would bo abandoned, and the roadbed and tho roads would be established ou these tow-patiis.

THE RECORD OF THE COURTS Supreme Court—Feb. *2O. lion. Geo. V. liowk. Chief Justice. 1 >F.DIOATION—( KMKTEUY—CORPOKATION. 10950. Redwood Cemetery Association vs. Deborah Bandy. Warren C. C. Black. C. (’.—The complaint of appellant alleged tho dedication of certain land for u public burying* ground, and its use l>v the public for that purpose for a long time; that appellee claimed to own the ground, and was threatening to remove the tombstones and plow and pasture the land. Prayer for an injunction. Held: Appellant could not maintain the action. The corporation is a legal entity, and the fact, that the natural persons of whom i; was composed, or the public, had an interest in the land which tho landowner was estopped to question could not convey such an interest in the corpuration. (47 lad., 223.) Judgment affirmed. DEFECTS E HIGHWAY —CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. 11270. Joshua Wilson vs. Tlie Trafalgar, etc., road. Johnson C. C. Bicknell, O. C.—Appellant sued for injuries resulting from a defective highway. Tlie court instructed the jury that if the plaintiff had notice of the dangerous condition of the road he would be required to exercise more care iu passing over it than if lie had no such notice, but vns not bound to keep off the road, if it consisted with reasonable care to travel over it: that if, in the use of proper and reasonable care under all the circumstances, tlie plaintiff, without any fault or negligence on Lis part, was injured wholly by the negligence of the defendant, he could recover. This is the law, as stated in 77 hid.. 29; S3 id., 266; 2 Thomp. Neg., 1203. Where an instruction is right ns f.a* as it goes, but may be properly supplemented by something more, the party desiring such supplemental instruction must ask for it. (£7 lad., 13: 77 id.. 14.) Judgment affirmed. BILL OF EXCEPTIONS —COPY OF RECORD —SCHOOLFUND SALE OF LAND. 10270. Robert G. Beneiiel et al. vs. Sarah J. Anglic. Clinton (’. Bicknell, (\ C.—A general objection to a finding or verdict, without stating the grounds of objection, presents no question. (9 Ind.. 221; Busk. Prac., 111.) Where the evidence is brought into tlie record by either party it is available to any party who has properly assigned errors or cross-errors. (9 Ind., 561.) Where a deed executed in another State is recorded in this it is not accessary for the recorder to impress on his record a fac-sitnile of the seal of the officer who took the acknowledgment ir> the other State; tlie letters L. S. in a scroll are a sufficient representation of such official seal, both in the record and in the certificate of the copy thereof. A sale of land under a school-fund mortgage is a sale under a naked power, not coupled with au interest, and the auditor is bound to a strict compliance with the statute. (47 Ind.. 54; 5S id., 543; 85 id., 234.) The burden lies on the party claiming, under such a sale, to show that: the statutory authority has been pursued. (57 Ind., 27(5; (50 id., 478.) Where it docs not appear that the county treasurer made a statement of the sale, or that any such statement was signed by the auditor and treasurer and recorded in the auditor's office and filed in the treasurer's office, tho sale will not be upheld. (58 Ind.. 543.) The sale was also void because the auditor did not offer the land in parcels and sold the whole for a larger sum than was due. Judgment affirmed. MONEY VOLUNTARILY PAID—DURESS. 11092. Hiram Hines vs. Commissioners Hamilton County. Hamilton C. C. Colerick, C.—Appellant, who was auditor of Hamilton county, tiled a claim for money paid by him to attorneys under allowances made by’ the board. Tlie complaint alleged that the board would not approve his report unless lie repaid said money to the county, claiming that, it had never made such allowances, and that, under protest and threats of prosecution by tho hoard, ho repaid tho money*, in order to get his report as auditor approved and to protect his good name as an officer. Held: The money was voluntarily paid, with full knowledge of the facts, and tho fact that the claim was unjust, and the money paid under protest, were not alone sufficient to authorize its recovery, unless there was duress. If the board unlawfully refused to examine and approve the report, tho appellant had sin adequate legal remedy by mandate. (72 Ind.. 242: 57 Miss., 8(53.) In view of the fact that appellant was by law the clerk of tho board, and that the record of such allowances was in his possession, it cannot be supposed that the threats of the board wore likely to place appellant under duress. (76 Ind., 46; Olid., 264; Olid., 415.) Judgment affirmed.

SUPREME COURT, FEB. 21. M ALTCIOUS PROSECUTION —M AL ICE. 11034. Geo. W. Strickier vs. Cyrus Greer. Shelby. C. C. Hammond. J.—Action by appellee against appellant for malicious prosecution in causing his arrest upon a capias ad respondendum. The court charged tho jury in substance that if they found there was no probable ground for appellant causing appellee’s arrest, their verdict, must be for the plaintiff. The instruction wholly ignored the element of malice which is essential to such an action. (11 Inti.. 45; 26 Id., 451; 35 id.. 13). Malice is not a legal inference from want of probable cause. It may b-.-. but it is not necessarily thus inferred. (43 Ind., 132; 67 id., 375). J udgraont reversed. ASSAILED PERSON SELF DEFENSE INSTRUC- • TIONS. 11432. Wm. H. Behymer vs. The State. Grant, C. C. Zollars, J.—Conviction for assault and battery with intent to kill. The seventh instruction given by the court, construed with the tenth, expresses the law correctly. Appellant asked the court to instruct that an assailed party may defend himself and take the life of his assailant if the attack is made with intent to do him “very considerable" bodily harm. The court gave the instruction with the word “great” instead of “very considerable.” There was no error in this. (89 Ind., 187.) Under sec. 535, R. S.. the date of the exception on the margin of an instruction is as material as tho signature of the judge. It is the date that shows when the exception was taken, and it takes the place of the statement in a bill of exceptions (bat tho exception was taken at tho time. (See 80 Ind., 387.) lint whether an instruction can be brought into the record in a criminal case in the mode prescrilied iu tho civil code is not decided, Judgment affirmed. CONDITIONAL SALE —DELIVERY—TITLE. 11145. John A. Laoman vs. John A. McGregor. Perry 0. C. Howk.CJ._J. —Whore personal property is sold for cash on delivery, or where, by tho terms of tho contract, tho vender is to hold tho property sold until paid for, tho vendee acquires no title to tho property which ho can transfer until tho terms of the sale are complied with. (H i Ind.. 457.) In such a case, if the voudoe, without the knowledge or consent of the vender, sells tlie property to third parties, who convert it t* their own use. they acquire no title as against the original vendor, and ore liable to him for its value, or for tlie unpaid purchase money due him from his vendee. (12 Ind., 3-2; 28 id., 225; 54 id., 58.) The complaint stated a good cause of action. Judgment reversed. SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR —BEER —PRESUMPTION. 11322. Frank Myers vs. The State. White C. C. Niblack, J.—Conviction for giving away intoxicating liquoi-3 ou Sunday, to be drunk as a beverage. The prosecuting witness testified that he did not know whether the beer was intoxicating or not. The act of 1875 provides that any spirituous;, vinous or malt liquors shall be deemed intoxicating. (Sec. 5313, R. S.) When beer is called for at a pla<-o where intoxicating liquors are sold, it is to be presumed that malted and fermented beer is wanted, unless some other kind is mentioned, and when a witness testifies to tho sale or giving away of beer under circumstances which make the sale or giving away of any intoxicating liquor unlawful, the prima facie inference is that the beer was of that malted and fermented quality declared by the statute tol>© intoxicating. and the court will take judicial notice of such inference. (17 Cent. L. J.. 101; 12 Gray, 29; 21 N. Y., 173: 03 id., 277.) The construction put upon the evidence in 43 Ind., 483, and 33 id., 204, cannot be safely followed. Judgment affirmed. VENDOR VS. VENDEE —ESTOPPEL. 9033. Henry C. Dodge vs. Alex. Pope. Elkhart 0. C. Elliott. J.—The representation made by appellant to the appellee that the mortgage bought by the latter, and upon which he secured title, was the first mortgage. osteps appellant from disturbing appellee's title, or from recovering money from him on account of the mortgage of an antecedent date. Tho representation was one upon which the appellee had a right to roly, and he was not bound to look behind the mortgage represented to him to be the first, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there were holders or apparent equities whom it was necessary to make parties to the foreclosure suit.
