AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. O. B. Skinner, traffic manager of the Bee-line system, is to be in the city to day. G. W. Gettier, on June 1, takes the agency ot the C., C., C. & I. and the White line at Dayton, 0. The Postal Department should encourage tho Bee line fast-train service by carrying the northern New York and New England mails from this section over that route. The Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg people are grading for a second “Y,” to connect their road with the Belt road, one which will not cross the V , H. & I. tracks, as does the first put in. Under the time-table which takes effect. Sunday next, the St. Louis & Boston express will make but uine stops at stations between Indianapolis and Cleveland—under the old schedule thirty-eight stops were made. • The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indiananolis depot at Palestine was burned on Tuesday night. Loss about $1,200. The bursting of a coal-oil lamp, left by the agent burning in his office, is supposed to have been the cause of the conflagration. On Monday next, a change of time takes place on the L-. N. A. <fc C.. and the first train north, put on to haul the Chicago & Great Southern train, will probably start from Crawfordsville, instead of Lafayette, as under the present arrangement. The handsome increase in through tonnage over the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Indianapolis road the last twelve months is largely due to the enterprise of The officials and agents of the Traders’ Dispatch, who are always on the alert for business. D. M. Boynton, general agent of the Wisconsin Central road, is in the city looking after the iaterests of the company. Round-trip tickets g,.od until Oct., t, over this finely-equipped road, have been placed on sale at the 1 nion depot. Very low rates are offered to the pleasure resorts oa lake Superior. \V. H. Greegor traveling passenger agent of the Michigan Central road, is in the eiey, and yesterday arranged to place on sale round-trip ■tickets to Portland Maine, and the New England seashore on June 25, and July 13, and August H Tickets good for sixty days, and running out of Indianapolis over either tho Wabash, the C., H. tc 1.. tins L.. N. A. & C., Air Line, or the 1., B & W. The officials of the Indianapolis, Eel River & Western Railroad Company are in excellent spirits. Grading was really commenced in Putnam county yesterday, and Chief Engineer Devore says twenty-five miles of the grading will ha under contract withiu ton day a Their arrangements to raise funds to build the road with, ha says, are at last fully perfected. J. H. Palmer, general passenger agent of the Chicago & West Michigan road, was in the city, yesterday. He accompanied some forty delegales to the Greenback convention who were brought in over tho L., N. A. & C. Air-line in palace cars. The delegates were largely from northern Michigan The traveling public arc catching on to this new route nicely, which is being run by the two roads jointly very satisfactorily. An Indianapolis merchant who ordered his goods forwarded from Now York by one of the direst lines, contrary to his oiders it was shipped by the Globe line and arrived several days late, refused yesterday to receive the goods because diverted from the route lie ordered them shipped. A few such lessons will teach New York merchants that they must pay some respect to the order of Western merchants as to routes, as has been said before in the Journal. If freights, to maintain the pool per ceuts., must 'be diverted, some attention should he given as to the character of the freight diverted. Inquiry develops the fact that men who have surplus moneys, all over the West, are, in a quiet meaner, purchasing some of the best railroad stocks, notwithstanding tho hammerings of the bears. Any practical business man well knows •that the present condition cannot always eoniiatie. The leading railroads in the country which have been good property are going to be e> again. They would be now if the managers had the confidence of the country. Assure investors that the great railroad properties are sure of intelligent and conscientious management- and railroad property will again command a fair price.

The Model Railroad President. The June number of the Locomotirre Firemen's’Magazine is out, and is full of egbod things. In a lengthy article it speaks. 'in very complimentary terms of m. B. KcKeen, president of •‘tae'Varictalia, and one whom every railroad man iat the State would like to see Governor of Indiana. In an editorial, Mr. Debs says: ■ 'Wo make no apologies for introducing here the honored name of William Riley McKeen, president of the Vandalia system of railroads. Wo have written of good men. of great men, of great, good men, and in speaking of President McKeen our readers will have the satisfaction of contemplating a citizen whose life, taken as a whole, from childhood to the ripe age of fiftyfive, is one of steady advancement in the right direction and tho development of ail things which challenge the respect, confidence and admiration of society. It would be the climax of inanity to inti man. that a railroad president like W. R. McKeen could by any possibility, be otherwise than just to his employes, and it is this ditinguishiug characteristic which, in the estimate of locomotive firemen, expands President McKeen to colossal proportions.” In closing the article the editor says: “He has the brain ability to grasp all the details of railroad enterprises which constitute the model railroad president. Such railroad presidents as W. R. McKeen do not regard their engineers, firemen and conductors as machines, cattle, inferiors in any objectionable sense, but as meu, •'utizens, fathers, heads of families, inspired by noble ambitious, seeking to better their condition. valuable and honorable members of society. bearing their full share of its burdens, and entitled, if faithful in their calling, to recognition as gentlemen. ” The Chronicle Favors the Corbiu Plan, The Financial Chronicle, of the 34th, discusses Corbin's plan of lifting the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road out of its troubles at great length, favoring his proposition. It gives a sketch of the history of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis road, and of the condition of tho Indiana, Bloomington & Western with reference to proposed guarantees, for which we have no space, and concludes as follows: “The advantage to accrue to the Cincinnati & St, Louis bondholders S rom an arrangement with the Bloomington & Western consists in tho fact that Mr. Corbin agrees to take care of the reorganization expenses, arid also the placing of the new mortgage bonds which are to provide the money for the necessary improvements of the division. Mr. Corbin says that his people ‘can place the mortgage without any sort of difficulty whatever. ’ This is certainly a very important feature, for it being admitted on all sides that anew mortgage is a necessity, it is essential to the success of any scheme that no difficulty bo encountered in floating the bonds. The promoters of the enterprise, relying upon their own efforts, might not be so fortunate in the matter as the Corbin party. As concerns the guarantee of interest on tho bonds, if the Bloomington & Western should be unable to meet it—and it should always he remembered that the management could no doubt carry the company over any temporary period of adverse circumstances—the bondholders will have lost nothing, since they will merely have to fall back oa their own resources, which they would have to do anyway without the guarantee.” Squally Times in Local Passenger Circles. Not for many months have local passenger circles been so much disturbed as yesterday, especially with roads in the Chicago & Ohio River Pool. Commissioner Richardson gave all Indianapolis and Chicago lines the privilege of making a $3.50 rate to Chicago and return. The 1., B. & W. went 75 cents better, taking advantage <>f its 75 cent differential rate in tho pool, and made a $4.75 rate, and further advertised attractively sucli rate. Os course, the 0.. 1., St. 1,. &C. and the 0., St. L. & I', took offense at this, and swung out signs making a $4.75 rate. Then the 1., B. & W, people got real mad and threatened to get Commissioner Richardson to knock the pool all to pieces, and he orders the Union Railway ticket offices to sell over the 1., B. & W. at $4.73, the Big Four

and C., St L. &P. at $3.50. Now, they in turn, will each, pool or no pool, commence selling at their outside offices to-day, or •at least it was stated by the passenger agents of these roads that they would. The mistake was that Commissioner Richardson did not, before lie let either road reduce rates, settle whether the differential rate should be allowed the 1., B. & W. ou tho reduced rates under tho pooling agreement. Have Great I'aitli In the Property. The faith that Boston capitalists have in the L T nion Pacific road while it is undergoing the attacks of tho boars, is really wonderful In Boston tho stockholders are increasing in numbers, and none of them show any indication of fright, A friend of the property explains this confidence by saying, in an interview, that it cannot be said of the Union Pacific road, as of many others, that it has been distinguished by any rings by which individual parties have profited. All that has been done has been done by the road and for the road. To day the treasury is full of sound securities and bonds which belong to the branch lines. When you see a man like Fred Ames holding 40,000 shares of Union Pacific. and none of it for sale, it speaks volumes for the stability of the property. What Others Think of Us. The distinguished visitors from abroad to the Indianapolis Board of Trade, who yesterday made a trip over the Beit road and looked over the stock-yards as well, were highly pleased with what they saw. The cleanliness, and extensiveness, and completeness of the stock-yards was highly complimented. Regarding the Beit road and its usefulness in the prompt movement of traffio they expressed themselves as more than pleased. The improvement made to the road-bed since tho present management took hold is really striking. Tn the last three months 26,000 new cross-ties have been put in, 1,400 car-loads of gravel distributed, and this character of improvement is still going on. The Belt road now rides as smoothly as u majority of the brag reads. The New England Freight Pool. Commissioner Fink now expects to get his money' pool on Boston west-bound business in running order by June 1. The executive com mittee of the trunk lines, at their recent meeting in Commissioner Fink's office, substantially agreedjon a five years’ pool, but any member may withdraw 'after tliree months’ notice. Commissioner Fink will ftx the percentages, subject to appeal and arbitration. The contract was not signed, but it is hoped that it will be to-day. A pool for business of other New England points was talked of as likely to follow. Miscellaneous Notes. It is estimated that tho amount ©f coin coming into Washington Territory over the Northern Pacific railroad in the hands of immigrants cannot fall short of $500,000 a month. The bears are now hammering the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, it is stated that the last two dividends were not earned, and the stock has declined from 110 to 00 in four days. James Westerman has decided to remover his rolling mill from Lockport, N. Y., to Corning, N. Y.. where lie will build a model rolling mill As soon as the location is selected work will be commenced on the new structure. The Northern Pacific has organized two par ties, one to go to Umatilla county. Oregon, and the other to go to Yakima county', for the purpose of grading the Northern Pacific railroad lands, preparatory to placiug them on the mar ket. The Lansdoirne. the Grand Trunk’s new ferryboat just, launched at Detroit, is 516 feet 6 inches in length and 75 feet beam on deck. She cost $275,000. Her hull is entirely of iron, shallow and double spoon shape, to break through the ice on the river during winter. As soon as pleted, she will be put into commission + ;ransfering cars across Detroit river. In a recent paper before Thu Liverpool Engineering Society, Mr. Jcl/hn B. Fell proposed to give increased bov’iier power by separating the boiler from tfae engine, giving it the place now occupied ’ oy' the tender, and removing the water and coke to the carriage carrying the engine, by v! /rich means be claims that ample space could bo provided for both engine and boiler, and that there would be no difficulty in prodm-ing double the quantity of steam in the same time that is produced by the most powerful express eugiue now in existence. Messrs. Ames and Adams, directors of the Union Pacific, have returned from their recent trip to Omaha. Mr. F. L. Ames says: ‘'After studying the condition of the road, 1 find everything looking well. Business over all our roads shows an increase over last year. The decrease has been only in freight earnings, owing to cutting of rates. This is substantially over, and the expenses which increased, owing to the severity of the winter, have been reduced. The tonnage for tliree months this year shows 14 per cent, over 1883. I see nothing discouraging in the prospects for tho future of tho road."

The answers of the jury to interrogatories show that this property was of value and was not delivered back by appellants who sought to rescind the contract under which it was obtained. This answer was irreconcilable with the general verdict in their favor. Judgment affirmed. JUROR—NOTES OF EVIDENCE —PRACTICE. 11532. David Long, ct al. vs. the State. Shelby C, C.

And where the affidavit of the defendant merely states that the misconduct of the juror wAs without his knowledge and consent, but does not show that it was also without the knowledge aiul censent of his attorney, it is not sufficient. The attorney's knowledge is imputed to the party. (4 O. St.,* 156. 234.) The fact that tho juror looked over portions of his notes once or twice in the jury-room, but did not. read them to the other jurors, and did not himself act. niton them, is not such an error as would justify a reversal of the judgment. The affidavits of jurors may he used to uphold their verdict, but not to overthrow it. Therefore, what a juror may have said to another poi - son cannot be so used. (54 Ind.. 339; 40 id., 131; 28 id., 296.) The misconduct of the jury must be gross and clearly appear to have injured the complaining party, to justify the granting of anew trial. (22 Ind., 165; 25 id., 326; 64 id., sti.) Where the court gave the jury a form of verdict in Case they found tho defendants guilty, the latter cannot complain unless they for the submission of a form to lie used in case the jury found them not guilty.

It is not enough to aver that the tire was supposed to escape through the negligence of the defendant and without the fault of the plaintiff.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE. Change In the Bill Providing Pensions for Soldiers of the Mexican War. Washington, May 28. A bill was reported favorably to reimburse several States for the interest paid on war loans. The Mexican pensions bill was then taken up, the pending question being upon Mr. Logan’s motion to strike out that part of the amendment proposed by the Senate pension committee, that pensions be limited to ex-soldiers and ex-sailors who are dependent iu whole or in part on their own labor or on assistance from others. Mr. Shearman was not in favor of a clause that would require a man to base his application on his poverty. He thought that a degradation. Mr. Maxey regarded the poverty clause as humiliating, and hoped it would not be agreed to. Mr. Morgan said our army in Mexico was never defeated, and added ‘350.008*000 of acres to the republic, yet we wore here dickering with the poor soldier as to whether we should give him the paltry sum of $8 a month, unless he went down on his knees and begged for it and showed a certificate of his poverty. Mr. Ingalls moved to lay on the table the amendment proposed by the Senate committee, restricting pensions to those dependent on their labor iu whole or in part, or on the assistance of others. The motion was agreed to —yeas 40, nays 20. The debate was continued at some length, and pending the discussion the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. The Entire Day Devoted to Consideration of the Legislative Hill. Washington, May 28. —Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, from the committee on public lands, reported a bill to forfeit the unearned land granted tho Atlantic & Pacific Railway Company, which was placed on the House calendar. The morning hour was dispensed with, and the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Cox in the chair, on the legislative bill. It reduces the number of internal revenue collection districts from eighty-four to sixty three, and increases the force in the pension office. After considerable discussion concerning the present system of collecting internal revenue, Mr. Thompson gave notice of an amendment which, at the proper time, ho would offer to the pending bill, consolidating the customs and internal revenue districts, and establishing one tax collection district in each State and Territory, the bill was then read by paragraphs for amendment. Paragraph 0, specifiying the committees of the house which shall be entitled to clerks’, gave rise to a good deal of discussion, and it having been passed from, Mr Belford offered an amendment granting every member a private clerk. Ruled out on a point of order. Mr. Belford then offered an amendment providing that, iu conformity to civil-service reform principles, no committee clerk shall perform any service of a clerical or other character for any member of the House, rendering him liable to removal for violation of this proviso and subjecting to censure, fine and imprisonment, at discretion of the House, any member requesting or permitting such service. This was adopted ,amid a good deal of merriment. After completing consideration of thirteen of the ninety-six pages of the bill the committee rose. Mr. Dibrell submitted tho conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill, which was adopted. Tho House took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be for further consideration of the legislative bill.
