iFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Th© Midland people expect to have trains runring between Anderson and Lebanon, Ind., by Kov. 10, at the furthest. In the month of September, 42,320 pieces of Vagcage were handled at the Union Depot, 11,180 of which were checked from Indianapolis proper. The earnings of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield read for September were $37,042.39. The increase over corresponding month, 1884, was S9O 67. Robert Garrett, president of the Baltimore & Ohio road returned, it is said, from Europe, not favorably impressed with the feeling of Europeans toward American railways. Squabbling over who shall be the general manager of the consolidated fast-freight lines bids fair to defeat the proposed consolidation of the lied, the White and the Midland lines. Shipments of coal from the Clay county blockeoal mines were never heavier than at the preswot time. Yesterday the roads hauling coal txxmi these mines were 286 cars short of filling r orders. Charles Crockett, who was discharged some weeks ago from the C., St. L. & P. road, as passenger conductor, on account of color blindness, la* been reinstated, bis eyesight seemingly having teen restored. Passeneer men report travel over Indianapolis poads as the heaviest it has been for years. Monday there were checked at the Union Depot 715 pieces of baggage, the largest number checked out in any day since Aug. 12. 1883. On the 26th of this month the officers of the Yardniasters’ Mutual Association meet in this city with a committee appointed at their last annual convention to revise their by-laws and constitution. It is proposed by the yard masters to give them a grand banquet on the evening of the 26th. L. P. Loree, engineer of maintenance of way ®n the Indianapolis & Vincennes road, will take the position on the C., St. L. & P. road made vacant by the promotion of M. Mansfield to the position of superintendent of the I. & V. road. On the I. <fc V. road Mr. Mansfield will fill both the position of superintendent and engineer of xnaintena' I ce of way. The Fort Wayne Sentinel saya the Wabash yards at Andrews wear a decidedly lon*ly aspect But one switching crew, in service only a few hours each day, is employed, and the tracks are barren of cars. President Joy seems to have directed nearly all through traffic to the Detroit and Eel river division. The turning of the traffic to Detroit hurts Andrews and every city east. W. It. Woodard, general superintendent of the L., N. A. & C. system, is in the city on official buriness. But few railroad officials keep what is going on upon all divisions so well under his eye and so well in hand as does Mr. Woodard, and as a result, all over the system matters are becoming systematized and working more smoothly than ever before in the history of the Toad. George G. Cochran, general freight agent of the New Y"ork, Pennsylvania & Ohio road, who ts, without doubt, one of the hardest working ‘freight men in the country wili be in the city io-day. The fact is that every man on the Erie system of roads is doing good work for the company. Not being allowed to cut rates, they now seem disposed to hold on to their share of the business bv working for it. Monday afternoon express train No. 2 over •he J., M. &I. road made the run from InJiauapolis Union Depot to the Union Depot in Louisville, Ky., in two hours and thirty-one minutes, actual running time, as shown by the firain sheets. The distance is 110 miles, and at both terminals a slowing up is required, which ©till further shows the high and seldom surpassed speed made the entire distance. The Journal has excellent authority forstatine that C. W. Smith who retires as general manager of the Chesapeake <& Ohio road on Nov. 1, will go out of railroad business and engage in mercantile pursuits at Chicago. For a couple of years past he has been a silent member of the jfirm of McDermott & Cos., and now he will take ■a more active position in the firm. His circumstances are now such that he feels he can throw ©ff tbe burdens and anxieties which occupying a prominent, railroad position load upon him, and therefore he takes such a step. The Wabash handled four and a half million pounds of Pacific coast freieht in September. This is eight times more Pacific coast freight than the road ever handled in any previous month. In the same period they had 212 passengers out of California. By the establishment of an agency on the coast the road has increased its business to Pacific, coast points about one lmqjired thousand dollars this year over that of last year. General Manager Talmage was so firm in the belief that work would get this additional business that he went out to California last spring and gave his personal attention to Starting the agency. H. R Duval, vice-president and general manager of the Florida Railway Navigation company, the Henning system of roads, announces by circular that J. H. Thomas has been elected treasurer ©f the company, vice E. R. Reynolds, resigned. Mr. Thomas is a genial fellow, and was for some years treasurer ot the Erie fast-freight lines, of which Mr. Duval was then manager. Major-Hen-ning seems to be gathering around him some firstclass railroad men, and if success does not follow the fault will be with the location of the road, not its management. Vice president Duval and Treasurer Thomas will both make Jacksonville, Fla., their headquarters. The Ohio Southern road, of which C. E. Henderson is general manager, is developing in a business way quite satisfactorily. Not only will this remark apply to its coal traffic, but other classes of business as well. It is a road quite expensivo to operate, however, so sharp are the curvatures, and so numerous and so heavy the grades. At one point on the road the track forms a horse shoe bend, although but 1,400 feet apart. To make the distance the,track winds around the hills two miles. There are numerous other curves which show the skill of the civil engineers who laid out the road. There are grades on the road that are eighty feet to the mile, nnd the heavy cousol engines the company have do good service on these grades. A passenger agent wh<s has recently spent a few days in San Francisco states that the Pacific coast passenger agents surpass the famous Kilkenny cats in their fighting qualities. They form a now association every week, binding themselves to.maintain rates, and deposit forfeits, elect arbitrators, and then rush out and Iform combinations to cut everything. Tne incentive to this kind of rascality is in the commissions which agents of different lines are allowed to pay. Every ticket to Atlantic seaboard points is scalped not less than $8.50, in the name of commissions, and these commissions re divided np among the agents. When roads deal honestly with the public, and allow the passengers the benefits now given to agents as commissions, the rate wars will be ended, because irresponsible agents will have no incentive to cut rates. A representative of the Atlantic & Pacific road writes the Journal that the A. & P. railway will open their extension from Daggett to Ban L.ego, Cal., Oct. 15. Though the A. &P. to controlled jointly by the A., T. & S. F. and SL Louis & San Francisco, this extension is wned exclusively by the A., T. & S. F. On *.he 20th of last month Presidents Strong and J?? * (>r( * ft contract covering southern California busiuess, which is a virtual abandonment of that section of the State to the A. T & S. F., but in return tor it the A., T. & S. F. agree to keep rates up to the present standard. The fruit-growers and thojse who have been looking forward to this extension as a relief from the present oppressive tariff of the Southern Pacific, wili be seriously disappointed. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, which owns the line of Pacific Coast steamships, are to be made a party to the contract, which Mr. Strong took with him to Portland. A Model Dining Car. The New York & New England road have just placed on their line a dining car which is said to be a model affair. The interior is divided into tour sections, tbe kitchen, with a full-sized range and all the material for cooking, the buffet, the dining-room, and the wash-room and heater. The car Is supplied with new linen, silrer and chinaware. Electric bells communicate with the buffet, and are placed at either side of the tables. There are ten tables with a seating ca-

pacity of forty. The space between the tables is four feet, sufficient, to give free movements. The floor is parti-colored wood, the center being carpeted with a strip of velvet Brussels. The windows are double and of heavy French plate glass. The sides are of embossed leather, stained brown, and the roof, which is oval shaped, is finished in fancy polished woods of bright colors. Between the tables are heavy curtains, which can be drawn, if desired, allowing a party seclusion. The heating is done by a Baker heater, and in summer the air passes over ice and sawdust or excelsior before it enters tbe registers around the bottom of the side of the car. A peculiar system of ventilation has been adopted. Fixed turbine wheels about eight inches wide are set upon either end of the roof, between the floats of which, when the car is moving, the air is driven into the heating-room or the coolingroom in winter or summer respectively, and then into the tubes to the registers. Tightening the Ropes. Telegrams received here yesterday from New York showed .the movement to restore and maintain rates both east and west-bound was an earnest one and that the resolution of the trunk lines not to prorate with a Western connection which directly or indirectly cut a rate is to be carried out; and not only that, but the discharge of the agent who cut the rate would be demanded and be enforced. Both East and West, a strong undertone prevails, which indicates a confident feeling and a belief that the railroad situation is really working into better shape. The question of railroad freights has a most important bearing upon trade interests throughout the country, and the demoralized condition of rates for a year past is directly responsible for much of the unsettled condition of commercial affairs. The existing railroad system of the country is too much in excess of the present requirements of transportation to warrant a very great advance, but what is most needed at present is stability and a strict adherence to published schedules. This will not only strengthen confidence with respect to the railroads themselves, but remove doubt and uncertainty as to the ultimate cost of mer chandise that has to bear the expense of trans portation. Heretofore, agreements with reference to rates have been made only to be disregarded when the opportunity offered, and a substantial change from this condition of affairs will do much to render permanent the general improvement in trade already developed. Coerced by His Own Necessities. Every day makes: it more and more evident that, for the time being at least, Robert Garrett, president of the Baltimore & Ohio road, is at the end of his rope, as the saying is. Only last week he said that no trunk-line settlement could be made without the Baltimore & Ohio, and that he would only settle with the most absolute protection to its interests at Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. He boasted that he was master of the situation, and added that he would not accept laws of transportation from New York. His language was strong, but it is believed that the Baltimore & Ohio owes too much money in New York for it to maintain this defiant attitude. The strings will be pulled in a way he will not relish if he does not fall into line with the other trunk lines. The whole power of capital is energetically directed to railroad peace, and lenders will not furnish funds to any one who threatens it. Mr. Garrett will be coerced, not by Vanderbilt or Roberts, but by his own necessities. It is said if he attempts to fight over the export business, the Lake Shore will give the ten days’ notice, and the Baltimore & Ohio’s rates will be met promptly and to his satisfaction. It may be boldly predicted that under all these influences the Baltimore & Ohio w.U become a submissive advocate of peace and harmony. Receiver Wanted for the Scioto Talley Railway. Cincinnati, Oct 6.—C. P. Huntington, having obtained a judgment for $139,000 against the Scioto Valley railroad, in the Ross county, Ohio, Common Pleas Court, to-day, transferred it to the United States Court here with a petition for the appointment of a reciver to take charge of the road. Miscellaneous Notes. The Pacific Express Company threatens to reopen the Texas express war by cutting rates on the Houston & Texas Central road. Jay Gould’s finger is still in Union Pacific stock, if not in Union Pacific management. Upon Wednesday he was the buyer of 5,000 shares. The Minnesota & Northwestern has given a contract for the construction of 300 box-cars, 100 coal-cars, 100 stock-cars, ten Tiffany refrigerator cars, and ten cabooses. In regard to a rumor that the New York Central and Lake Shore roads will be consolidated, W. K. Vanderbilt says: “Such an alliance would be a good thing for the Central, but I doubt whether any of the present Vanderbilts will live to see it.” The falling off in Atchison earnings thus far this year, as nearly as can be estimated, is $700,000. If the same ratio is continued to Dec. 31, the road will fall about $150,000 short of money enough to pay 6 per cent, dividends. This, of course, is hut a slight deficit for a company whose total dividend requirement at 6 per cent, is $3,414,000. There is not now more than $1,000,000 worth of the old West Shore bonds standing out. So Mr. Vanderbilt .has almost the entire control of the road, and the opposition to him will not be strong enough to have any visible effect The new arrangement simply takes a road that was in difficulty, and with no possible chance of ever getting out of it, and by the backing of the Central it is placed on its feet again. The railway stocks upon which dividends have been declared payable in this month amount to $.394,899,411, and the total dividends are $7,462,495, making total disbursements of interest and dividends for the month by railways and kindred corporationss2s,oo6,Bls. Compared with April, the disbursements on interest account show an increase of $202,402, and for dividends a decrease of $349,098. ThePatmosis the name of anew Pullman sleeping-car. the first of five to run over the Richmond & Danville road between New York and Atlanta, Ga. It is one of the handsomest cars ever turned out by the company, although it differs from its predecessors in style of decoration, which is both unique and elegant The ceiling is ornamented in gold and silver leaf peculiarly tinted. The panels overhead that make the divisions between the sections are in bronze plush. Embossed plush and old gold, with handpainted flowers, is substituted for marquetry in the berth fronts, with finely selected mahogany. The County’s Taxables and Revenues. The following are the totals on the county duplicate for 1885, including that of the city, just completed by Deputy Auditor Walker: Value of lands $11,073,395 Value of improvements 1,967.940 Value of lots 25,288.250 Value of improvements 18,721,690 Value of personal 18,238,715 Total taxable value $75,223,990 Polls (number) 21,645 Male dogs (number) 6,780 Female dogs (number) 504 The duplicate will produce: State tax, 12 cents levy $101,091.29 State school tax, 16 cents levy 131.180.87 New State-house, 2 cents levy 15,044,80 County tax, 40 cents levy 322,540.97 Ihe above, with township, tuition, special school, road, gravel road, corporation, State University, bridge, town bond, sinking fund, town bond fund will make a grand total of revenue from the duplicate of $668,691.41, against $802,000, in round numbers, last year. The county tax last year was $441,600. Charles G. Caldwell, by his next friend, Andrew Caldwell, has sued dentist Sylvester E. Earhart for S2OO damages. The plaintiff brought his complaint before Esquire Smock, and alleges that Earhart carelessly destroyed two of his teeth one day last year. “That tired feeling” from which you suffer so much, particularly in the morning, is entirely thrown off by Hood’s Sarsaparilla

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1885.

THE RECORD OF THE COURTS United States District Court. Hon. W. A. Woods, Judge. To-day—No calls. Supreme Court. The following decisions were rendered Oct. 6; No. 12360. Board of Commissioners of Marion County vs. Center Township, Marion County, et al. Marion S. C. Reversed. Zollars, J.—ln 1870, under the act of 1869, Center township voted aid to the Indiana & Illinois Central Railroad Company, upon condition that it locate its shops within the township. The county board, in the same year, accordingly made an appropriation, and ordered it in the tax duplicate. In 1871-73 the amount was collected. Within a year after the levy the company commenced work, but did not complete its road withinjthree years from the time of the levy. In 1873 the county board extended the time for completion one year, and yet the road was not completed. In 1872 the company executed a trust deed to all its property, rights, etc., which was foreclosed in 1875, when the purchasers filed articles incorporating the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield Railroad Company, for the purpose of completing the road. The road in that year consolidated with the Springfield, Decatur & Indianapolis railroad, under the former name, and by 1880 completed the road, and placed its shops in said township. In 1877 the township, on the theory that the railroad company had forfeited its rights, brought an action against the board to have the amount of the levy turned over to the township fund, and it recovered a judgment. Because of the county board’s failure to keep a subsequent arrangement as to the payment of the amount, this action is brought with the railroad as a party. The net of 1869, Sec. 18, provided that if a railroad company failed to complete its road ready for use within three years from the levying of the special tax, or within the additional year that might be given by the county board, it should forfeit its rights to a donation. The act of 1873 provided, in cases of donations, collection of the tax should be suspended until such railroad should be permanently located in the township, and an amount of money equal to amount donated should be expended in the actual construction of the road. This act is held to repeal Section 18 of the act of 1869. The finding in the case, however, shows that the tax was collected in 1871, 1872, 1873, and thus brings the case within the operation of the act of 1873. Therefore, the failure of the company*to complete its road within three years did not work a forfeiture. The act of 1873 did not provide for forfeiture by lapse of time alone. It provided that if within three years after placing of the tax on the duplicate the railroad company should not have expended in construction of the road in the township an amount of money equal to the amount donated, the county board might, in their discretion, upon the application of t wentyfive freeholders, and notice, make an order annulling the donation. No such order is shown in this case. There was no forfeiture under the act of 1869 or 1873. The act of 1875 amends said section of 1873 by fixing the canceling of donations at five instead of three years, and providing “that this provision shall not apply to any railroad where three years or more have elapsed since the tax in aid thereof shall have oeen piaced on the duplicate for collection.” This act, given a literal intepretation, means that if in any case three years shall have elapsed sinco the tax was placed on the duplicate such tax shall not be suspended and the county board shall not annul and cancel the donation even though the requisite amount of work may not be done upon the railroad within the five years. Such an interpretation would not destroy the donation in controversy nor the right of the railroad company thereto, but would continue them as they were before the passage of the act with no means provided for forfeiture. There is, therefore, no forfeituro of the company’s right to the donation under the acts of 1 869, 1873, or 1875. 12080. Samuel A. Campbell et al. vs. Franklin W. Hunt. Lake C. C. Affirmed. Niblack. J. —(1.) A leasehold interest in land is a valid subsisting interest in real property within the meaning of Sec. 1050, R. S., and in an action thereon the plaintiff may have anew trial as matter of right as provided by Sec. 1064, R. S. (2 ) It is only where the matter in issue has been either actually or presumptively determined that the judgment is a bar to another action. So, where a defendant elected to stand by his demurrer, and on appeal the judgment is affirmed, there is no adjudication. No. 11683. Abijah F. Henry vs. Samuel Gilliland. Montgomery C. C. Reversed. Mitchell, C. J.—Suit on a promissory note which had been assigned before maturity. The defendant answered that the consideration was the purchase price of land which was incumbered by a judgment lien; that the maker in order to protect his title had to buy the land at sheriff's sale. Reply that plaintiff had no notice of the defense; that after the assignment of the note defendant made two payments, the last being in March, 1878, when he requested plaintiff to give more time; that “he did agree to forbear to bring suit on said note, and agreed to wait on defendant until Aug. 1, 1878, when defendant informed him that he would not pay the note, and that he had a good defense;” that, at the time of the promise, there was no defense, the incumbrance not being removed, and that the agreement was the sole consideration for plainttiff’s forbearance. Held: That the defendant was not estopped to set up his defense by the promise; held, also, that the agreement" was a nem nudum factum; held, also, that the agreement, being for no definite time, vague and uncertain in every respect, it did not constitute a valuable consideration for the promise. No. 12558. State ex rel. Robert I. Morrison, surveyor, vs. Joshua I. Morris, auditor. Henry C. C, Affirmed. Howk, J.—The Henry Circuit Court ordered that the relator’s claim for services in surveying a ditch be paid by the commissioner of drainage out of assessments on the ditch. The relator presented the order to the auditor, and, being refused, applied for an alternative writ of mandate. This refused, he appealed. Held: That, granting that the order was erroneous under Section 4283, and that he should have been paid by the auditor, yet his remedy was a complaint for review or an appeal to' this court. (1.) A partner cannot recover for services rendered a firm of which he is a member, unless there is an agreement to that effect. (2.) In support of a postponement an attorney made an affidavit that he believed that hi3 client’s absence was caused by sickness in his family. Held: That this would not warrant the court in postponing the cause. (3.) Affidavits filed subsequent to the ruling and the trial cannot be considered to support a postponement. (4.) Cases of equitable jurisdiction are not triable by jurv. No. 12108. State ex rel. William L. John et al. vs. City of Richmond et al. Wayne C. C. Dismissed. No. 12109.
