AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and I.oral. i The directors of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Indianapolis road have a special meeting in this i city to-morrow. The general passenger agents’ meetings, to he cjield at Cincinnati to-day and to morrow, promise to he largely attended. A meeting of the president and general managers of the roads comprising the Union Railway Company is called for to-morrow. C. W. Fairbanks has gone to New York and Boston to look after matters connected with the receivership of the Danville, Olney & Ohio river road. E. W. McKenna, superintendent of the J., M. & 1., is in the city. He is in excellent spirits, so handsome has been the increase in business over the road the last few days. The Indiana, Bloomington & Western system (Ohio Southern) excepted, earned in February $212,8:11, an increase over the corresponding month of 1883 of $9,912. Colonel Joseph Hill, superintendent of the Vandalia, arrived in the city last night and will remain over to-day. N. K. Elliott, master of transportation, accompanies him. The passenger department of the Wabash. St. Louis Sc Pacific announce that hereafter their morning train out of St. Louis will haul a through New York sleeping-coach. East-bound rates are reported to be two cents per hundred pounds off at Peoria, but this cut is so slight, compared with the recent cuts, that little attention is paid to the rumor. Before the close of this week the one and onefourth mile extension of the Belt road, which has been in construction sinee Sept. 1. will be completed. Trains are now run over it. C. W. Seawright has been appointed agent of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Sc Chicago road at Lawreneeburg Junction, and T. J. Hudgins at Bonfield, on the K. Sc S. division. Contractor Routier, with a force of some sixty men, yesterday resumed work on the new shops of the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg Railroad Company in the eastern part of the city. The cyclone express run over the Vandalia line is now one of the most popular trains run on the road. It earned last year $1.28 per mile run, which is large earnings ior a train of that ckiss. T. W. Newell has been appointed master-me-chanic of the Indiana, Illinois & lowa railroad, with charge of the motive power, machinery and car departments. His headquarters will be at Kankakee, 111. Austin Corbin and J. Rogers Maxwell, both ominent 1., B. & W. men, each hold 9,989 ares in the Elmira, Cortland Sc Northern, a newly-projected road, 120 miles in length, which is capitalized at $2,000,000. C. E. Henderson, genera! manager of tiel., B. & W. system, is this week making a careful inspection trip over the Ohio Southern road, operated by the 1., B. & W., upon which extensive improvements are being made. If Commissioner Pierson, of the trunk-line passenger pool, permits the Wabash and Illinois Central to meet the Chicago Sc Alton rate on New York business, why should not the Vandalia and the Indianapolis & St. Louis do the samel The weighing of mails carried over Indianapolis roads for thirty days, to come, commences tomorrow. Six months later they are again weighed for thirty days, and then four years elapse before there is another weighing of mail matter. Under the present rates it costs thirty-one cents to get a barrel of Hour to Baltimore, tfiirty-three cents to Philadelphia, and thirty seven cents to New York, which is less than a drayman will haul a barrel of flour for a half-dozen squares, yet there are people who complain of the exorbitant rates charged by the railroads. The semi-annual strike at the Clay county block coal mines, if continued, will result disastrously. Ohio coals are now coming into Indiana by tbe 100 car loads per day to supply the demand usually filled by the Clay county operators, and there is great danger that block coal will be partially crowded out of its present markets. It is suggested that it wquW be well forjthe Indiana, Bloomington & Western and the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago roads to pool their sales to Kansas and Northwestern points, and then restore rates at this point at least, to the figures that the scalpers are selling at. There seems no necessity for underselling the scalpers $3 to $5 per ticket. J. C. MrtQuiston, general roadmasfer of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road, retires on the first of April, when his duties will be looked after by Thomits Morris, whose title will be engineer of maintenance of way. Mr. McQuiston aided in laying the first rails on the C., 1., St. L. <te C. road, and lias held the position of general roadmaster nearly eighteen years. The stockholders of the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg Railroad Company hold their first annual meeting in this city to-morrow. Two direc tors are to be elected, and the action of tbe board of directors in entering into an agreement of consolidation with the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg Railroad Company, of the State of Illinois, will be submitted to the stockholders for their approval. Horeafter orders given by employes ou the Bee-line system to parties to whom they are indebted will not be honored. General Manager Thomas says giving “osders" and assigning pay causes trouble find complicates pay-rolls. Any employe giving ‘ orders’’ or assigning pay will render himself liable to dismissal from tlie service of the company. The Wabash management, last week, issued a notice of similar import. George Boyd, assistant jjoneral passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg, who is West to attend the meetings of today and to-morrow, spent a few hours with his parents in this city, yesterday. His stay was so brief that but a few of his many friends had an opportunity to shake hands with him. Mr. Boyd reports the passenger traffic to be heavy, and that rates are better maintained East than'in the West. Other improvements are to be introduced the coming season in this model road to niako it more popular with the business and pleasure-traveling public, With, the new method of paying off employes on the Bee lino system, George H. Russell, treasurer, will draw the drafts on the following hanks: Commercial National Bank, Cleveland, O.; Citizens’ National Bank, Cincinnati, O.; Merchants’National Bank, Cleveland, O.; Citizens’Jiauk, Union City, Ind.; First National Bank, Galion, O.; Indiana National Bank, Indianapolis, Ind.; Delaware County National Bank, Delaware, O.; Indianapolis National Bank, Indianapolis, Ind.; National Exchange Bank. Columbus, O.; Mattoon National Bank, Mattoop, 111.; Second National Bank, Springfield, O ; Bank of Commerce, St. Louis, Mo.; Merchants’ National Bank, Dayton, O. By arrangement with the above-named banks, a draft payable at any one of them will be cashed at par by that bank or by either of the others. When -payments are made at Cleveland and Brightwood a bank teller will bo present with t lie paymaster to cash drafts for all employes who desire currency. All banjjs on the line have expressed a willingness to cash all employes' drafts at par. Another Important Tratfic Agreement. As friends of the Chicago & Indianapolis, socalled Air line, are under the impression that this roads has been, so to speak, stepped upon, through the traffic agreement enterred into between President Ingalls, of the C., 1., St. L. & C., and President Roosevelt, of the L., N. A. & C., it will bo in place to state that the prospects for this new road into Indianapolis are now more flattering and important than they could have been in the next five years, had the road been operated as a Chicago line. Wtf are now at'liberty to state ia.it a traffic agreement lias been entered info between tbe L., N. A. &C. people and the Chicago & West Michigan road which wilt ■< .t v blish a through passenger line between Indianapolis and western and northern Michigan, and gext week through coaches will lie put on to run daily and nightly between Indianapolis and Grand Rapids, making a twenty-seven-mile shorter route between these points than any now existing. The most good, however, is not likely to como out of the

passenger traffic. By this agreement an important fast-freight line is established, which will be the more important in bringing into this section for distribution the immense lumber traffie of northern Michigan, and in turn opens up western and northern Michigan as a market for Indiana block coal, and to Indianapolis merchants territory which they could not readily reach heretofore. Very fortunately for the L., N. A. & C. people, tlie Wabash people have just rescinded a traffic arrangement with tho C. &W. M. road which naturally throws their business onto the new lines. In fact, one party promises to ship five hundred car-loads this season south over the O. &W. M. and L., N. A. & C. Airline. The two through trains to be put on March 23 each way make close connections with the Chicago & West Michigan at Lacrosse, and on these trains the through coaches are to be hauled. These trains will leave Indianapolis at noon and midnight on the arrival of the Cincinnati. Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago trains. With the taking effect of the spring time-table, through coaches will be hauled between Cincinnati and Grand Rapids over the C., 1., St. L. & C., the L., N. A. & C. and tlie C. & W. M. Thtf D., Xj. Si W. To Be Extended to Toledo. Some weeks since the remarks wero quoted of President Sloan, of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, to a friend, to the effect if he could not secure an independent connection with Chicago through one of the roads already built, the five lines now operated belonging practically to two parties,he would build one,and it seems he has decided so to do. The Buffalo Times says it has at last been officially decided by the Lackawanna to cut itself away from the roads between Buffalo and Toledo, and to build a line of its own between these two points. When Toledo is reached lie soon yill arrange to reach Chicago. Orders have, been issued and inside of sixty days it is expected the whole line will be covered by corps of surveyors who are to run the preliminary lines. The work will be done under the supervision of Chief Engineer James Archibald, who was so highly complimented on tho location of tlie D., L. & W. from Binghamton to Buffalo. As soon as tho preliminary survey is finished and the line located, a second survey will be made, and bids for the work will he invited. A War Between Express Companies. A dispatch from Fort Worth, Tex., says serious trouble has broken out between the Missouri Pacific railway and the Texas Express Company. The former does not permit tlie latter to transport goods on its road, but on Saturday the Texas Express people insisted that it should take their freight to Wliitoeboro. This was declined, and the Texas Express blockaded the way to Missouri Pacific ears, and by force prevented Pacific Express from loading their freight. Yesterday the railroad station presented a war like appearance, each side having several well armed men present, but no conflict took place. Super ’ intendent Van Dyne, of the Missouri Pacific railroad, issued an order, which, it was thought, would insure the "shipment of Pacific Express goods, hut the Texas Express folks say tlieir freight must go, too. or there will be trouble. County and city authorities have been invoked, and State law will be enfored. Annual Report of the C.. M. & St. P. Milwaukee, March 17.—The annual report of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road for 1883 shows the gross earnings to be $23,659,823; gross expenses, includingtaxes andinsurance, $13,778,037; net earnings, $9,581,785; increase of net earnings over 1882 equals, $1,681,132. A decrease of three cents is reported in the cost of operating the road, per mile run. Tlie increase in gross earnings per mile is $45,5. Tlie surplus for 1883 was $3,079,079, after paying a dividend of 7 per cent, on preferred and common stock and interest on bonds. Tlie total miles of road equal 4,760, there have been 240 miles constructed or purchased during tlie year; value. $30,192 per mile. The equipment of the road includes 75 locomotives, 256 passenger cars, 40 sleeping cars, 13,232 box, freight and caboose, 2,346 stock cars. Dissatisfied with Their Per Cents. It is stated the Pennsylvania is dissatisfied with its pool percentages in the east-bound pool, claiming that they are based ou business done during the time its roads were attracting shipments by cut rates. The Grand Trunk Company lias asked Commissioner Fink to allow it 20 per cent, of the business, instead of 11, as at present. Tbe officials of the Chicago & Grand Trunk road are becoming tired of tlie apparently malicious reports sent from the East, to tlie effect that it was still cutting the nates and largely responsible for the recent demoralization. The fact is that since Jan. I this company lias been carrying the business of the National Dispatch line, which heretofore possessed 9 per cent, of the east-bound traffic. Kates Still Solid. There are no reports, except at Peoria, of cut rates, and the prospeet is that the present tariff rates will bo maintained, at least for the present. Should there be a further break, rates will go lower by all lines. President Roberts is understood to have declared at Thursday’s meeting that hereafter lie should not have the least hesitation or compunction in calling promptly for a reduction of schedule rates to the actual figures. President Roberts only consented to a reduction of grain rates to a basts of twenty cents per 100 pounds, instead of fifteen cents, in deference to the earnest wishes of Presiijent Rutter. February Earning*. Last Saturday's Financial Chronicle reports the earnings and mileage of fifty-nine roads for February, showing gross, earnings of $14,569,952, against $13,829,633 in 1883; increase, $70,319: mileage, 42,184, against 39,028 in 1883; increase, 3,156; earnings for January and February, $30,121,745, against $29,447,036 in 18S3; increase, $674,709. Tho earnings of Jay Gould's 10.Q0C miles of road are not included in this statement, he declining this year to make them public. ________ Miscellaneous Notes. Freight trains have begun running through to Chicago under the interests of tlie Baltimore Sc Ohio and Pittsburg & Western roads. Fifty-five railroad and county bridges were washed out in the recent flood in tbe Ohio valley. Their aggregate length was 7,447 feet; estimated cost of replacing them, $210,000. Tlie freight traffic on tlie Pennsylvania railroad lias increased so rapidly recently that the hands who were retired at Harrisburg, several weeks ago, have been taken on again. The business men of Minneapolis are not pleased with the new tariff of the Northern Pacific road, and they demand that tip; old tariff bo restord. In a resolution passed yest erday by the board of trade it was alleged that as'high rates wero charged from Minneapolis and St. Paul to points ou that road as from New York. A discharged passenger conductor on the New York Central road, hoping to reinstate, himself, has been squealing on his brother conductors and the ticket agents. He alleged that there was not an honest conductor or ticket agent on the road. The last statement lias raised a hornet’s nest about his ears, and the conductors are threatening to make him prove his assertions, if he can. Many honest conductors are thrown under suspicion from the false stories the said informer has told. The Boston Herald has but little faith in tlie promises of railroad presidents. It says: ‘ The outcome of the meeting of the trunk line managers was only favorable in that it did not event uatein a disruption of the pool. Past experience shows that the agreement to maintain rates amounts to nothing; moreover, the result of the meeting is evidence on tho same point, since it authorized a reduction to meet a cut that had been made under the most ironclad promise to sustain a higher schedule. There are more roads than business, and each road will get what business it can, pool or no pool; at least, such lias been the course of late action. The Governor Told the truth when 110 said Dr. Wing's Corn and Bunion Remedy had no equal. Bewaro of cheap imitations said to be as good, or just like Dr. Wing's

TILE INDIAXAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, 31 ARCH IS, 1881.

THE COMMISSIONERS’ FINDING. Trustee Kitz Authorized to Make the Loan, but Is Criticised Adversely. The county commissioners yesterday made a formal finding as a result of their investigation into the management of the township trustee's offieo under Mr. Kitz, iu which it is stated that lie has been somewhat extravagant iu certain expenditures. He was, however, authorized to make tlie required loan to defray the expenses of his office until tlie next levy. The decision of the board is as follows: March 17, 1884., tlie hoard having heard the evidence adduced in this matter; having examined the report and vouchers filed therewith by said Ernest Kitz, trustee, on the sth inst., and the document read presented by said Kitz to the board on the 14th inst., and being fully advised in the premises, does now make the foUowing findings, to-wit: 1. That ifc is not true, as stated in said document, that nothing has been shown that reflected tho slightest upn Mr. Kitz, and that it is not true that the board of commissioners have refused to allow Mr. Kitz to make a levy for township expenses; but that, on the contrary, at the instance of said Kitz, a levy was made in June, 1883, for said purposes. 2. That said Ernest Kitz in the month of August, 1883, without having obtained authority from the board, and in violation of law, did borrow, as trustee of said township, from tlie Indianapolis National Bank the sum of SI,OOO. and that the same was long since to have been but has not yet been paid by said Kitz. 3. That in September, 1883, said Kitz obtained authority from the board to borrow $15,000. upon tho condition that the interest should not exceed ( per cent, per annum; that he did borrow said sum of $15,000, and agreed to pay therefore interest at 6 per cent, per annum, and in addition thereto a commission of 2 per cent., which was in violation of said order. 4. That when authority was granted to said Kitz to borrow said sum of $15,000, it was expressly agreed by him with the board that he would pay all the indebtedness of said township, but that he lias not complied with that agreement. 5. That said Kitz has charged said township and credited himself with $2.50 per day for horse and buggy hire, in conformity with a custom that has heretofore been established in said office, but. which the board finds may not bo in strict conformity with law. G. That said Kitz has expended in constructing the school-house at Mapleton at least SBOO more than should have been expended, and that much more than was necessary to construct said school-house, but without criminal intent. 7. That said Kitz expended in putting lightning rods on said school-house the sum of $15)0 when in fact he could and should have put them there at a cost not to exceed the sum of $75, but without criminal intent. 8. That it is true that the board has refused to pay the judgment which Center township has against Marion county. This was done as early as 1883, and in ample time for said Kitz (o make an ample levy at the June session of the board. To keep up the expenses of said township after July 1. 1884. a levy was made by said Kite that amounts in the aggregate to sll.240.13. How with this tlu* trustee Will be able to pay tho $18,171.50 of indebtedness which has already be contracted and the expenses of said township until July 1. 1885, the board is unable to determine. Yet this is the problem to be solved. 9. That said Kite's estimate of the amount necessary to pay the expenses of said township until July 1, 1884. is larger than it should be. 10. That in fact the general township fuud of Center township, of Marion county, has been exhausted and that the business of said township cannot be carried on without money. It is for this reason alone, that the board assumes the responsibility of granting and does now grant to said Ernest Kitz, trustee, authority to borrow six thousand dollars, for and on account of the township fund of said town ship, when he shall have made a full and satisfactory settlement with this board, the settlement sheet of tho said trustee filed with the board, on tho sth inst., being insufficient in this, that it does not show to whom said township is indebted, and whether the outstanding due-bills of said trustee were not given in settlement of accounts for which vouchers are filed with said settlement, sheet. It is ordered that said loan shall not bo for a period of time beyond July 1, 1885, and at a rate of interest not to exceed 8 per cent, per annum. THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court—Mareli 15. ITon. Goo. V. Howk, Chief Justice. MOTION IN ARREST —PRACTICE. 10194. Hiram Hanshew vs. Henry Hanshew. Tipton C. C. Howk, C. J.—On petition for rehearing. A motion in arrest calls in question the sufficiency of the complaint after verdict. But where the only issue for trial is formed by an answer of general denial, and the finding or verdict is for the defendant,.the plaintiff’s motiou in arrest, even if made at the proper time, will present no question for tho decision, either of the Circuit or this Court. Petition overruled. RAI L.ROADS —KILLING STOCK—NEGLIGENCR. 11100. L.. N. A. &C. By. Cos. vs. Charles Skelton. Washington C. <J. Hammond J.—ln an action against a railroad company for killing stock where its road is not fenced, it is no defense that tlie plaintiff’s negligence contributed to the injury. (08 Ind., 25)7.) Where it is the duty of an employe of the company to keep animals off a certain part of the track, he cannot recover for an injury to his own animal, caused by his failure to do his duty. But the answer fails to show that the animal entered and was killed on that part of the track where his contract required him to keep off trespassing animals. It is charged that he turned his mare loose iu violation of his duty, but this is a mere conclusion. The facts out of which the duty arose should have been stated, showring how and in what respect his act conflicted with the terms of his employment. The facts stated in the third paragraph of answer were provable under the general denial, hence it was a harmless error to sustain the demurrer thereto. Judgment affirmed. WRITTEN INSTRUMENT—NEGLIGENCE— FRAUD. 10347. Henry Robinson vs. Jno. A. Glass. Clark, C. C. Elliott, J.—The rule that one must, exercise diligence in the signing of written instruments does not apply where a trick or artifice is resorted to in order to prevent the person, reading the instrument. Ordinarily the signer has no right to rely upon the statements of the other party as to the character of tho instrument, but if a known trust and confidence is reposed in the person making the statements, and there is a relationship justifying such trust, tlie person to whom thev are made may rely on them. (281kf., 187; 19 Ind.; 130; 77 id..' 567; 2 Pars., 7 od., 773.) And where one knowingly procures an agent, or a person trusted and confided in as a kinsman or friend, to falsely represent the contents of a writing, and thus prevent the person signing it from reading the instrument, this is such an artifice as not only excuses the reading of the instrument, but renders tho whqle transaction fraudulent. It is only where the evidence clearly shows that a right result was reached that this court can affirm the judgment on the evidence, notwithstanding the jury w?re misdirected as to the law. Judgment reversed. CONVEYANCES TO INFANTS —DELIVERY—ACCEPTANCE. 9418. Dennis Vaughaq vs. Catherine Goilman et al. Tippecanoe C. C. Zollars, J.—Action by appellant to set aside a conveyance of land to his daughter, and to quiet his title thereto. The complaint alleged in substance that appellant bought the property with his ovwi money, and he and his wife conveyed it to their daughter, then aged five years, upon the advice of an attorney, to prevent it from being sold for a debt; that the deed was never delivered*to the daughter, who had no knowledge of it for twelve years, appellant procuring it to be recorded and retaining possession both of the deed uud the property, which was used as the home of the family; that he paid all taxes and made improvements ou the property. Upon these facts, can this court say. as a question of lqjv, that tlie deed was or was not delivered! A deed may be delivered by words without actions, or by actions without words. (82 Ind., 31G.) It may be delivered without being put into tbe hands of the grantee. (47 Ind., 418; 30 id., 195; 28 id., 39; 39 id.. 402.) But in order to constitute a delivery there must be an intention to part, with the control over tlie deed and t< place it under tho control of the grantee. (37 Ind., 74; 3 Wash., R. P., 1 ed., 3841, 291. 290; 1 Johns. Oh., 450; 37 Mich., 204; 42 N. J.. 279; Mart. Law of Convey, section 204, et spa.) And there must bo an acceptance by the grantee. But if the grant to an infant be a gift and beneficial, and the gruntor has the deed recorded, the infant’s acceptance will be presumed. (Martindale, supra, sec. 205, 209, 21 i; 3 Ohio, 377.) From the averments of the complaint it cannot be declared as a matter of law that there was a delivery of the deed. It cannot be said that tlie evidentiary facts of delivery set up in the complaint overthrow the positive averment that tlie deed was never delivered. Judgment reversed. Elliott,\T., dissents. PARTITION SALE FRAUD —INNOCENT PURCHASER. 5)788. Phoebe Moore vs. John Trimble. Shelby C. 0. Howk, C. J ; —A purchaser at a partition sale, who has no knowledge of fraud iu the proceedings and who is a purchaser in good faith for value, arid with opt any notice that any fraud was perpetrated, tho title so acquired bv him will not be affected by the fraud. (72 Ind., 592; 73 id.. 472; 79 id., 195.) Having thus acquired i good title, he may convey it to another, even t hough there be no consideration for the conveyance. Judgment affirmed. Superior Court.
