AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. W. A. Goings goes out to-day as agent of tlie Bee-line at Yorktown. J. 8. Harshberger succeeds him. The management of the Hoosac Tunnel fast freight line have decided to abandon their office at this point, for the present at least. Anew station on the L., N. A. & C. Air line will be opened to-day, to be known as Cambria. E. D. Campbell has been appointed agent. Paymaster Snee. of the Pennsylvania lines, passed over the Indianapolis division of tho C., St. L. & P., yesterday and paid for February service, and will pay on the I. & V. to-day. The Lafayette Car Works last week made a contract witli Chicago parties for ouo hundred refrigerator cars. They also recently made a contract witli the Lake Erio & Western for 500 freight cars. The Indianapolis Car Works are now building 1150 cars for the Chicago, St. Louis A’ Western road. President Milliard is now East and has practically closed a contract to build several hundred cars for a leading Western road. George W. Clemmons has been appointed yardmaster of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis yards at Indianapolis, vice R. Ellinger, resigned. Mr. Clemmons for years past lias been on the Evansville Sc Terro Haute road. A. C. Sheldon, for many years in charge of the advertising depurtnieul of the Chicago. Burlington Sc Quincy, has resigned, to accept the position of general passenger agent of the Texas & •St. Louis railway, with headquarters at St. Louis. Tho rate on ninth-class freights was reduced yesterday to the basis of thirty cents per hundred pounds from Chicago to New York. This takes in bulk moats, and makes the into from Indianapolis to New York twenty-eight cents per hundred pounds, and will likely move business. The through freights carried over the Pennsylvania lines in 1883 paid 22 100 of a cent per ton j*.t mile carried; the local freights 1 12 cent per *ou per mile earned. It is hardly to be wondered at that the management foster their local business and show no great anxiety to handle much through traffic. General Manager Henderson, of the Ohio Southern, operated by tho 1., B. Sc W.. this week contracted with the Bethlehem Steel Works for t. 500 tons of steel rails. With these placed in the track of the Ohio Southern, the main line will he laid entire with steel rails weighing sixty pounds to the yard. Tho Bee line people are fully determined to make their lines in connection witli the Lake Shore, New York Central and Boston & Albany, a fast mail route between Now England and the Southwest. A large jiei cent, of the mail now' goes through New York, then west over the Pennsylvania lines. An oetuplex telegraph instrument has been invented, by which eight messages can be sent over one wire in opposite directions at the same time. Now, if only a railroad dispatcher could devise a plan for sending trains in a similar manner over the same track, it would be a good thing for ui Indianapolis road which could be mimed. Ootrick Coster, who for twenty-seven years j-ast has been employed by tho Bee-line in the bumble position of keeping things in order in *he Offices, looking after fires and the watercoolers. was buried yesterday. He was a quiet bat faithful man, and is said not to have been off duty one day in the twenty-seven years of •ervico, for sickness or pleasure. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago people, on March 23, put on two through trains each way between Indianapolis and Michigan City. Business men of Michigan City, under the new arrangement. can come to Indianapolis and spend six hours; or, vice versa, Indianapolis men otn spend the same number of hours in Michigan C ity, and return on the same day. Tho Wooley electric headlight has been in xtvice on the C.. .St. L. Sc P. engine No. 400. lor two weeks, nightly, and performs admirably. Master Mechanic Arp states that on a i*st a switch stand and its position could be seen 4.500 feet away. Air. Arp is of the opinion that within two years, the light will bo adopted by every road running into Indianapolis. The Wagner freight-car door, which was dofcevibed in the Journal some weeks since, is proving a valuable invention. Eight hundred and fifty of the cars built for the Eric people at the Indianapolis Car Works were equipped with this lrsome months ago and not one cent lias yet l*een expended in repairs to the doors. The x rnple device for opening them does away with the use of a crow-bar by reckless employes, and snow, rain and cinders are shut out of the cars. Tlielr Interests Mutual. Tho Western Union Telegraph Company is strengthening its position rapidly, stringing new wires along old railways and keeping fully apaeo with new roads and extensions. But few outsiders understand the nature of the Western Union contracts with the railways and why this company has such almost exclusive control and is extending its lines more and more over tho couutry. The Western Union in consideration f exclusive right to tho telegraph privilege along the line of a railway, agrees to furnish the wires, insulators, poles and all mateiial neoded of tho best quality. The railway company puts up the line and has tho use of the wires for its own business. and as at all the smaller stations but one railway operator is needed, the railway company employes him and reports tho commercial business handled to the W. U. which is thus enabled to reach almost every point in the United States at comparatively small cost. Tho contracts are advantageous for both tho railways and the Western Union and through them tho Western Uniou becomes annually stronger and stronger. _ East-Bound Kates Apparently Solid. The tenor of the remarks of fast freight-line men yesterday was that rates are now as low as any reasonable shipper could ask, and consequently they propose to maintain them. It may grate harshly on the ears of the fast-freight line agents, nevertheless it is true, that too many have in tho last two years worked more to make a good tonnage record than good earnings, caring but little what rates they got if they only showed a large tonnage carried. The present is a good time to work specially for earnings. Kates are low, and unless fully maintained the showing will be very bad. It will require firmness on tho part of agents. Tho volume of business is small, but the temp tatiou to cut is irresistible. It should be boruo in mind that not for some years (excepting 1882, when the reads were carrying out contracts made in the open war of 1881) have rates been so low just before tho opening of navigation as the actual rates are now, and have been for somo weeks past, as no railroad man pretends that any considerable amount of grain lias been carried at 30 cents (the schedule rate) since that figure was adopted formally in Novemlwr last. From present appearances the trunk lines will be free of lake competition till late in May this year, and this is one favorable feature. A Scheme to Outgeneral the Scalpers. Prospects are good that tho local passenger agents will act on the suggestion of one of their i. umbers and organize an association, tho chief aim of which will bo to maintain rates and make a better name for Indianapolis in this regard, the proposition being that each agent shall deposit a bum of money in bank—or the road he represents, for him—and in case ho cuts a rate, double the price of the ticket sold, at full rates, .shall bo forfeited. Local passenger agents Nichols, of the Bee line; Butler, of the 1., B. Sc W.; Martin, of the C., 1., St. L. Sc C., and Denney, of tho Wabash, have •igreed to become members of such an association, and live strictly by its tilings, and it is thought that all agents of roads ■entering here will come into the movement. *lr. Doling, who represents the Pennsylvania (;nes and the Yandalia at this point, is absent from the city, but will undoubtedly favor any Action looking to a better maintenance of rates. Tho-question now comes up, wliat shall be done to prevent tho scalpers underselling the regular offices when opened?—ns it is well known that several prominent roads pay the scalper’s a commission of $2 to $3 on all tickets reading over -ir line, tho Erie, the Baltimore Sc Ohio and

the Chicago & Alton being of the number. A general manager, who has given this question a good deal of study, says it is settled that the roads have not tlie backbone to throw the tickets of such roads of! sale, and there is but one remedy loft, and that is for the general managers or general passenger agents of all roads centering here to give their agents authority to sell tickets at the outside offices on a differential rate from that at the Union Depot, deducting from the regular rate the amount of commission paid to scalpera by said roads. He thought it better for the roads to do their own business and allow their agents to make such reductions, than it was for scalpers to do it. The general manager thinks that this plan, well lived up to, would in a few weeks starve out the scalpers; then full rates could be restored aud maintamed, and until the roads met the rates made by the scalpers, who lived on the commission they received, practically the latter would have the advantage over tho local agent. Pool Points. The busiest men in rail read sendee are the pool managers, most of whom are really earning their sal aides. The roads in the Springfield pool have agreed upon their respective per cents, for one year, from April, 1884. W. S. Spiers will call a meeting next wook to attempt a reorganization of the Peoria pool, which ho hopes to have in working order by April 1. He then proposes to re-establish the Indianapolis east bound pool. V. T. Malott, president of the Chicago and Ohio river pool, returned from Chicago yesterday. While there he told a reporter of tho Inter Ocean that this pool was moving along with great harmony, and was a permanent institution without doubt. The Decatur pool, one of tho oldest in the West, is in death’s throes. The roads in the pool have agreed to disagree on per cents. The Illinois Midland and the Wabash were the principal disturbers. The former does 4 per cent, of the business, but wants 11 per cent.; the Wabash 25 per cent., aud wants 40 per cent. Miscellaneous Notes. The Central Pacific lease tho Southern Pacific at a rental of $250 per month per mile. Compressed gas is to be used in lighting coaches on the New York, Buffalo Sc West bn ore road. Tho New York, Buffalo & West Shore and Erie will build a track connecting them with the can tale vor bridge. The next monthly meeting of tho fast-freight men will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, on the last Wednesday in this month. The French railway companies are waking up to the importance of doing something to insure more comfort to their passengers, and are introducing several features of American railway coaches for heating and lighting. The earnings of tho Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad from .Tan. 1 to Feb. 29 were: 1884, $177,185; 1883, $141,001; increase, $53,583, which is not a bad showing when the disadvantages the road is operated under are considered. The Westinghou.se Air-brake Company is perfecting its pneumatic brake patents, which will give it unlimited and exclusive fields in the future. During the past year the company’s patents have been adopted by all railroads centering in Boston, and on the Lake Shore Sc Michigan Southern road. Tho increase in earnings of New York roads, last year, was mainly due to additions to freight receipts, which represent 74.5 per cent, of the total increase. The increase in passenger receipts was 13.3 per cent, of tho total increase, ana the increase on rents and miscellaneous 9.7 and 2.4 per cent, respectively. The workmen for the Pullman Car Company, at Pullman, near Chicago, have issued an appeal to their fellow workmen in the United States, asking that all mechanics and laborers stay away from there during the pendency of their strike, ami giving the wages they received before the late reduction of 15 per cent. The New Albany Ledger says the principal offices of the Louisville, Evansville Sc St. Louis road are to be removed from Louisville to that city. The road was originated in New' Albany, and the people there have always had a warm side toward it, except when they have been slighted or mistreated by the management. The City Council of Denver has passed an ordinance that ticket scalpers shall pay a license of SSOO a year. The scalpers will fight the ordinance. They claim that they are willing to pay SSOO license if it would boa protection to them, and if the city wanted the license as a source of income. It is claimed by them, however, that the ordinance was only passed to benefit the railroads, and not to protect the interests of the city. State College Y. M. C. A. Convention. The State convention of College Y. M. C. Associations, to bo held in Wabash College, Crawfordsvillc, April 4 to 0, will be a most interesting and profitable gathering. President Everest will deliver tho opening address on “Fraternity.” FrefessorW. W. Byers, of Terre Haute, will be present, as will also Secretaries Munball, Palmer and Cobb. A special reception will be tendered the delegates in the parlors of Center Church, at the close of tho public meeting on Friday evening, by the Wabash association. The following are among some of tho topics to be discussed: “CoUego Association Bible Study; Tt.s Purpose and Methods. " Butler University leading the discussion. “Neighborhood Work.” Hanover College leading. “College Prayer-meetings.” Purdue University leading. “Foreign Missionary Work." DoPauw University leading. “Inter-collegiate Relations.” State Normal School leading. “Individual Work.” Merom College leading. Delegates are expected from three of tho five educational institutions in the State that have no Y. M. C. Tho Building Boom. The following building permits were issued yesterday: William Jenkins, SBOO frame cottage on Prospect street: Anna Barbour, S9OO frame house on Vermont street, near Blackford; Charles Schwinge, $2,300 two frame houses on Arsenal avenue near Market street; M. G. Fitchey, SBOO business room, corner of Market and Tennessee; Martha M. Gregory, $1,900 frame cottage on College avenue, between Eighth aud Ninth streets; Christian Wessler, $1,500 frame house on East, near McCarty; Ezra Mensell, repairs on houses on Peru and Arch avenues; George Kline. $550 frame cottage on Belief ontaine street Some More Justice. As has been already detailed, Thomas Barrati, who has a “peanut stand” near tho Union Depot, was acquitted of maintaining a nuisance by a jury in Justice Glass’s court—the complaint stating the alleged offense took place Feb. 21. Afterwurd he was arrested and brought before Justice Woodard on precisely the same charge, except that the dato was made Feb. 25, four days later. J. L. Mitchell, his attorney, entered for him a plea in bar, which Woodard sustained, and then fined tho defendant $lO and costs. Verily, tho ways of justice are marvelous. Suit Against the Pennsylvania Company. William S. Crank has begun suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, demanding SI,OOO damages for the killing of his son John, a brake man on the J., M. Sc 1. road, in May, 1882, it being alleged that the accident was entirely duo to the negligence of the company. Burnett’s Cocoaine HAS RECEIVE I UNIVERSAL INDORSEMENT. No other preparation possesses such remarkable properties for embellishing and strengthening the hair and rendering it dark and glossy. It cures baldness and eradicates dandruff. Burnett's Flavoring Extracts are the best. 1

TilE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court—March 14. Hou. Geo. V. Howk, Chief Justice. JUDGMENT —SHERIFF'S SALK—MORTGAGED PROP ERTY. 10544. Harvey Kerr vs. Hiram A. Haverstick. Marion S. C. Howk. C. J.—A judgment rendered on the tenth day after the date of service of process is valid. (75 Ind.. -122.) Where real estate to tho value of $6,400, hut mortgaged for $4,000, is .sold by the sheriff, sub jeet to the mortgage, for $5, the sale will not be set aside for mere inadequacy of price. Judgment affirmed. DEMURRF.R —RAJLROADS —CATTLE GUARDS. 10952. Whitewater Railway Company vs. Samuel Bridget 1,. Wayne C. C. Bicknell, < C.—A demurrer assigning for cause want of sufficient facte presents no question as to the jurisdiction of the court over the subject-matter. (52 Ind.. 505.) It is tlie duty of railroads to maintain cattle guards at the crossings of all highways, and if au animal comes upon the track from a highway because of insufficient cattle guards the railroad is liable for all injuries to such animals caused by its trains. (42 Ind.. 559; 55 id., 507; 74 id., 169; 8L id., 523.) Judgment affirmed. TESTATOR —UNSOUND MIND —ADMISSION OF LEGATEE. 10015. Lavina Rhorb et al. vs. Susannh Brubaker et al. Kosciusko O. Hammond, J.—Action by appellants, as heirs of Jacob Brubaker, to set aside the will, on the ground that deceased was of unsound mind when he executed it,. It was shown that at the time of making the will the testator expressed the opinion that appellants had misused and mistreated him, and appellants testified that thej- hud never misused or mistreated him. This evidence was too intangible for judicial cognizance. An act which, in the opinion of one person, might be regarded as misuse or mistreatment might, in tho judgment of another, be esteemed us harmless, or indeed as a token of affection or friendship. Had tho testator given any fact which, if true, would have been a flagrant broach of filial duty upon the part of appellants, and had it been shown that this fact had no existence except in the imagination of tho tostatoi, it would have been right to charge that such evidence was proper to be considered in determining tho testator’s metal capacity. It was proposed to prove that one of the legatees made admissions before the death of the testator that he whs of unsound mind when the will was executed. Appellants’ attack was against the entire will, and in such case the admissions of one legatee cannot be received as evidence against the validity of the will. (67 Ind., 359; 86 id., 262.) Judgment affirmed. DIVORCE—EVIDENCE —ALIMONY. 10967. Hannah E. Glasscock vs. James A. Glasscock. Warren C. C. Cole rick, C.—Under sec. 1040, R. S., the court, in divorce cases, considers all the evidence given, regardless of which party introduced it, and determines therefrom which one, if either, of the parties is entitled to the divorce, aud renders a decree accordingly. Where the evidence offered by tho petitioner is insufficient to authorize a decree in his favor, hut is sufficient to justify a decree to the cross-complainant, it Ls proper for the court to award the latter a decree. The court is not bound to grant alimony in every case, but is governed by the facte in each ease. (28 Ind., 291.) Where there is no evidence at all on the subject of alimony there is no error in not awarding any. Judgment affirmed. BANKRUPT ESTATES —JURISDICTION OF STATE COURTS. 10944 and 10945. Gideon W. Leavey vs. Lewis Maples. Allen S. C. Franklin, C.—Appellant, as assignee in bankruptcy of Bowser, sued appellees on two promissory notes executed to the bankrupt. A demurrer, alleging that the State court had no jurisdiction of the subject-mat-ter, was sustained. Although there is some conflict of authority on the subject outside of this State, the question can no longer l>e considered an open one in Indiana. In 58 Ind.. 502; it was expressly held that the State courts possessed no such jurisdiction unless so directed by the court having charge of the estate of the bankrupt. (54 Ind,, 339; 47 id., 31; 78 id., 357.) Judgment affirmed. Tho following cases were also decided, abstracts of which will appear hereafter: Preston Conway vs. Chas. Ascherman. Ohio C. C. Reversed.

Smallpox Items, Frank Mitchell, a colored boy, who lives in tho rear of 31 West Ohio street, and who has been attending school on West North street, was taken down with smallpox yesterday and sent to the pest-liouso, and a man named Frank Sommers, living in the Frank Block, on Indiana avenue, is supposed to be similarly affected. Tho quarantine at tho County Asylum has been continued for two weeks by Dr. C. I. Fletcher, who is in charge during l>r. Wagoner’s absence. About ten days ago one of the Stoebleiu children, whose father died with smallpox, recently, broke his leg, and no attention has yet been given it. Tho child is in a serious condition. John C. Atkinson’s Estate. Frank W. Morrison yesterday qualified ns administrator of the estate of John W. Atkinson, upon petition of the decedent's grandson, Logan G. Gulbreath. Atkinson was formerly a resident of Hancock county, and about eight yeats ago removed to Grand Island. Neb., taking with him about $65,000. He died there last May, and his heirs in this State have as yet been able to find no trace of his estate, which, it is supposed, was quito extensive. The probato proceedings yesterday wore preliminary to the institution of legal proceedings to recover tho property, or, at least, ascertain what disposition has been made of it. It is thought that Atkinson left no will. A Serious Allegation. Frank Robinson, a butcher, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with assaulting Lillie M. Spurgeon, a servant in the family of M. V. McGilhard, and attempting to rape her. It is alleged that the girl was enticed into Robinson’s butcher shop, situated in the rear of Timberlake’s drug store, on last Tuesday evening, and that .for making a determined residence to his assault, slio was thrown into tho cooler, but was afterward released. Robinson declares that the charge is wholly false. Lieutenant-Governor Hanna’s Dosires. Lieutenant governor Hanna, when asked yes terday by a Journal reporter in regard to his candidacy, stated that lie was “pleased at tho mention of his name for the nomination for Governor, but,” ho added, “if my record a* presipent of tho State Senate Ls satisfactory to the Republicans, I would bo gratified to have it indorsed by the nomination of the party for roclection." Aunt Rachel's Joy. Rev. W B. Evans, Washington, D. C. ( writes: “Aunt Rachel, the dear old colored saint, who has been a constant sufferer with inflammatory rheumatism for sixteen years, has been greatly benefited by Athlophoros. 1 cousider it almost in the light of a miracle. She is almost beside herself with joy. The pain has all left her limbs. A little stiffness remains, but another bottle will effect a pennant cure. It is indeed a most wonderful medicine. I think it ought to be spread tlu-oughout the length and breadth of this laud.’’

So easily is a cold taken that not infrequently one is at a loss to tell when or how it has originated, and is prone to expect it will go iip a. a tu 1,8 HghUy as It came. Per- iiCMuS tl haps it may go easily, if helped a little; but every cold that comes is liable to stay. It may happen just at a io time when, from other causes, the normal strength of resistance in t he system lias been lowered. A little inattention or delay may give it a dangerous QCYT£7S3 hold. Let it once become Or I iLn firmly seated, and the work of dislodgment will be very difficult. The simple Coryza, or cold in the head, may TZJ A M develop into a Catarrh, and is ■ tlA!! indeed exceedingly likely so to do. That such is the case is evidenced by the fact that seven persons out of everv r*f|l H nine, in the Atlantic and Mid- BULU. die States, have catarrh in a severe form. Or, if it does not take that turn, the little cough that is at first but an annoyance, is almost certain to become dry, hard, racking and constantly recurrent, worrying in waking hours', banishing sleep, mid momentarily

'oncho'a gratitude is cure, but what if one cannot for any reason enjoy that excellent invention? “Nervousness in me had become a disease." writes Mr. William Coleman, the wellknown wholesale druggist of Buffalo, N. Y. “I could not sleep, and my nights were either passed in tlmt sort of restlessness which nearly crazes a man, or in a kind of stupor, haunted by tormenting dreams. Having taken Parker's Tonio for other troubles. 1 tried it also for this. The result both surprised and delighted me. My nerves were toned to concert pitch, and. like Cwsar’a fat men, I fell into the ranks of those who sleep o’night*. I should add that the Tonic speedily did away with the condition of general debility and dyspepsia occasioned by my previous sleeplessness, aud gave me strength and perfect digestion. In brief, the use of the Tonic thoroughly re-established my health. 1 have used Parker's Tonic with entire success for sea-sickness and for the bowel disorders incident to ocean voyages.” This preparation has heretofore been known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic.
