AGAINST THE TAX-PAYEES. Sixty-Five Thousand ofCentcr Township Dollars Go to the I, & I. C. Road. i'he Supreme Court Reverses the Lower Court’s Decision Concerning: the Grant of 1870—History of the Case. The judgment in the case of the Marion County Commissioners against the trustee of Center township, involving over $65,000, which the trustee claimed was due the township from the connty, was reversed by the Supreme Court, yesterday. The history of the case covers a period of fifteen years, and it is of much importance to the tax payers of the township. In March, 1870, the voters of Center township, upon a petion and order of the County Commissioners, as provided by the act of 18G9, yoted to the Indiana & Illinois Central Railway Company, in the way of a donation. T' ne donation was voted upon a condition, a- expressed in the petition, that no part of money should be paid to the railway company until it had fur nished a with security, that it would create build its principal machine shops in cQe township. Within a year after the levy of the tax the railway company commenced work on the road in Center township, but did not complete the line within three years from the time the tax was levied. In 1873, before the expiration of the three years, the county board made an order extending the time for the completion of the road until June, 1874, but it was.not completed within this time. In 1875 the bondholders of the Indiana & Illinois Central filed articles of incorporation under the name of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield, for the purpose of completing the projected line. In November, 1875, the new company was consolidated with the Springfield, Decatur & Indianapolis Railway Company, under the name of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield. They did not complete the line, however, until 1880, and, although the original line was not strictly followed, the machine shops were built in Indianapolis. In 1877, after the organization of the new company, the township, on the theory that the railroad company had forfeited all rights to the money, brought an action against the Board of County Commissioners to have the amount turned into the township fund. The township recovered a judgment for the full amount, with interest, $71,102.48, in December, 1880. In 1881, by an arrangement between the trustee and county board, $13,375.55 was paid to the township, the judgment of 1880 was set aside, and a judgment was entered for $58,202.93, to draw 5 per cent. interest, and to be paid in installments. Since then the county board has paid to the trustee $2,089.85 of the principal and $5,820.30 interest. The board refused to make further payments in January, 1884, without a bond of indemnity against the claims of tax-payers and the railway company. With the exception of the amounts paid to the township trustee, the money is in the county treasury, under Che control of the county board, to be paid to the party rightfully entitled to it. The court below found upon these facts, as conclusions of law: First, that the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield Railway Company was not entitled to any part of the fund; second, that the taxpayers were not entitled to any part of the fund; and third, that the township was entitled to receive $64,202.07. The donation was voted under act of 18G9, which places no limit upon th 9 time within which a railway line had to be completed to entitle the company to donations, and their rights could not, therefore, be extended or abridged by thejsubsequent laws enacted in 1873, 1875 and 1877. It is apparent, the Supreme Court holds, that tbe one condition upon which the donation was voted was that the principal shops of the company should be erected in the township. Prior to the payment of the $13,375.55 to the township trustee, on the 18th day of March, 1881, and the subsequent payments made under the agreement entered into between the county board and the township trustee, the Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield demanded of the county board the money donoted. The Supreme Court decides that the railway company is therefore entitled to the $65,000 and interest thereon, at 6 per cent, per annum, from the 18th day of March, 1881. The judgment is reversed, at the cost of the township, and the lower codrt is ordered to enter judgment in accordance with the decision in favor of the railway company. In his recent report to the tax payers on the condition of the affairs of his office, Trustee Kitz included the judgment for $65,000, obtained in the Superior Court, ainoug the resources from which he expected to liquidate his indebtedness. Mr. H. N. Spaan, the trustee's attorney, was asked, yesterday afternoon, how the decision of the Supreme Court, reversing the judgment, would affect tho township's finances. “It will not affect them in any way,” he replied, “because no indebtedness has been contracted on the strength of the judgment.” A motion for a rehearing of the case will bo filed by the attorneys for the township. The Case Against the Royses. To-day defendant’s motion for anew trial for Alvin O. Royse, against whom a verdict of guilty was returned for highway robbery, will be called before Judge Norton. Tho prosecuting attorney says the remarkable developments in this case, on Monday, give him a right to cross examine the affiants to the sensational affidavit presented in support of the above motion. If this occurs tho proceedings in which the prisoner’s father and brother are implicated will be traced step by step. Aside from this, the grand jury wiil consider the charge of subornation of witnesses against the RO3-SOS. Yesterday Christian Borgarding made another affidavit to the prosecuting attorney, stating that ho indeed told affiants what they state in their affidavits supporting a motion for anew trial, but says that Wilbur and William T. Royse assured him that it would cause him no trouble, and that it would enable him to recover his money. A Change of Veuue Asked For. In the Superior Court, No. 3, yesterday, plaintiff’s attorneys in the case of Needham and others against John C. Wright and others, made a motion for change of venue to one of the other Superior Court rooms. An affidavit of Frederick A. W. Davis was filed with the motion. Affiant 6tates that he is one of the plaintiffs in said cause, aud “verily believes plaintiffs cannot have a fair and impartial trial of said cause in Room No. 3 of said court by reason of the fact that' the said defendants in said cause have undue influence over the Hon. Lewis C. Walker, one of the judges of said court, presiding in said Room No. 3.” Affiant states that he further believes plaintiffs cannot have a fair trial there “because of bias and prejudice of said judge against tho cause of action of plaintiffs.” The matter will be decided in a day or two. Suit Against a Doctor. James W. Higginson, a carpenter, while working at the Zoo Theater, on the 2d of April last, fell from a ladder. His ankle-joint was dislocated, and ankle-bone fractured. Ho alleges that, after four months’ treatment, Dr. Joseph W. Marsee failed to readjust the ankle-joint, and that the fracture never healed. He claims that he cannot work at his trade, nor can ho earn more than a dollar a day at any other occupation. Higginson wants damages against Dr. Marsee for $5,000. Dr. Marsee is regarded as one of the most profleient surgeons of tbe State. The Jackaon County Bank Incorporated. The Jackson County Bank, of Seymour, was incorporated under the State laws, yesterday. Tbe capital stock is $40,000, of which $39,000 is subscribed. Garrett H. Harlow filed with the

A Hard Law on Yote-Brokers-The City Tick-et-Campaign Notes. In their hopes of electing Cottrell the Democratic politicians are rolying largely upon the lavish tlgfe of the Corruption fund contributed by the saloon-keepers, but the enactment of the Campbell law by the last Legislature places restrictions upon the buying or selling of votes which are pretty sure to get those entering into such bargains into very serious trouble. Tne law is about as strict as it could be made, and there is hardly any kind of a bargain for influencing a vote that would not come under its P ro t<sions. It provides “that whoever hires, buys or offers to hire or buy, or furnishes any money or other means to be used, or directs or permits his money or other means to be used to induce, hire or buy any person to vote or refrain from voting for any candidate for auy office shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars nor less than ten dollars, and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period of not less than eight years.” Another section provides that “whoever sells, barters, or offers to sell or barter his vote for any candidate for any office, either for any money or property, or thing of value given or offered by any candidate or by any other person or persons, shall be fined not more than SI,OOO nor less than $lO, and disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit for any determinate period of not less than eight years.” It also provides that “any person suspected or guilty of violating either of the foregoing sections of this act may be summoned either before the grand jury or in the Circuit Court, and compelled to testify in relation to the same, but no person so compelled or required to give testimony shall be prosecuted or punished thereafter for any act done by him about which he was so competed to testify.” The qualifications of a voter, which may be interesting at this time, as a matter of some information, are that he shall have resided in the State six months, the township sixty days and the ward or precinct where he votes thirty days. Males of foreign birth shall have resided in the country one year, the State six months, the township sixty days, and the ward or precinct thirty days, and shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States. The following is a correct list of the names of the Republican candidates, which should, for the purpose of verification, be compared by Republicans with the ticket, on election day, before voting: For Mayor—Caleb S. Denny. For City Clerk—George T Bruenig. FOR ALDERMEN. First District—Thomas E. Endly and Henry J. Prier. Se<pnd—James A. Pritchard. Allen Caylor. Third—Granville S. Wright, Marcus L. Brown.
