AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local H. W. Hibbard, general freight agent of the Yaadalia, has gone East, to be absent a few Sava. The Wabash earnings for the third week of Jime increased $57,000 over corresponding week Ifigi H. C. Diehl, general freight agent of the L, B. 4 W.. who has been East several days, is expected home to-day. A. A. Talmage, general manager of the WaiMch. passed east yesterday in his special car, en nate to Cresson, Pa. M. L. Doherty, commissioner of the Indianapolis east-bound pool, has gone to Cresson, Pa., to attend the railroad meeting. Tlae bull party in Wabash evidently have •track a snag in the shape of a suit by the trustees of the Chicago - division to foreclose this branch. William Turreff. master mechanic oft he Beelim system, is in the city looking after matters. Sapronoses to increase the force at the Brightwned shops. CL B. Adams, formerly chief clerk of the su pwintendent of transi*oitation of the Wabash roed, has been appointed ear service agent of that road, with headquarters at St. Louis. The ndditional story which the Union Railway Ceapnny decided to put ou the new Union Depot. At the last meeting of the officials, will be oasd by the superintendents of the several roads cratering here. The Pennsylvania Company gives notice that Bosrge A. Stockton has been appointed a ticket ajgmtof the company at Toledo Station in place of <B. W. Laying, who is to give his entire time to She freight department Reports of railroad earnings continne satisfactory. so far as heard from. IndianapoHs roads show earnings in the third week in May to have been 15 to 30 per cent, in excess of those in the corresponding period of 1885. The charge of the poultry men that the through tines were discriminating against Indianapolis in •favor of Terre Haute, when investigated by the Beard of Trade does not materialize—in fact, no •vaience was produced showing such to be the Harry Francisco, who has been relieved of his rrtion as division superintendent of the O. & railroad, the office having been consolidated with another, is now running a passenger train ss the same line between Cincinnati and St. Loots. It is stated that the American Ticket brokers’ Association has declined to allow Mulford & McKenzie to open an office under their auspices to Indianapolis. Scalper Frev is much elated win the decision, as be has made a bitter fight to prevent it. The watermelon agents of the Northern roads 4rbusy at work in the Southern melon patches, •oteiting shipments for their respective lines. Ysrasportation rates are the same as last year, which was about 30 per cent, below the rates of fmtedieg years. ft is stated officially that negotiations are moving which will doubtless result in the Erie JEtpress Company operating over the entire C., a ad. system. Said official is quoted as saying that their messengers would be running over tboe lines within sixty days. The Cleveland Leader says: “The derailment c/frars and killing of eugines at Chicago is making harder traveling for the cause of organiz*i labor, and the strikers and their sympathizer* *re injuring workingmen more than they are the Lake Shore Railroad Company.” A H. Carpenter, the general passenger and ticket agent of the Chicago & West Michigan imi, having resigned. M. W. Ross has been appended assistant general freight agent, and Wm. A- Bavett assistant general passenger agent, with headquarters at Grand Rapids. fb would boa great help to the passenger men If Commissioner Daniels would simplify the rate-sheet covering the territory in bis associativa. As now arranged, no two agents on South Hiaeis street quote the same rates to even comlnts points in Colorado or Nebraska. H spite of the Lake Shore strike, and the report that managers of all the Chicago roads agree ttol now is the time to fight it out with the empkyes and assert the principle that the railroads tow employ whomever they choose, the general <sp*re of the market yesterday was upward. A S. Corning h-iving resigned the position of •raer&l agent of the St. Louis, Arkansas & Tims road at Chicago, the office has been abolished. C. H. Merrill has been appointed Northno ageut, in charge of the territory north of the .teiiin line of the Wabash road, with office at St f—is She C., H. & D. people would doubtless find train No. 31, leaving Indianapolis at 3:55 r. M., a totter paying one if they would shorten its runni]g tune twenty-five minutes, which they could aalefy do with their track in its present excellent (tradition. As now run it misses connections it oeald readily make with the change of time suggutodL General Manager McDonald, of the Charanajga & Western, was in the city yesterday. Ttoroad has just closed its first fiscal year underhia management, earning $285,000; operating wspenses, $117,900. This is all very creditable to fir McDonald's management, as under the •M Wabash management there was a monthly deficit of several thousand dollars. An idea of the demoralized condition of westboand rates may be known in the fact that yesterday one of the South Illinois-street ticket amts sold a ticket covering 875 miles of road for What is worse, out of this sura $5.40 is to todedneted for arbitrages where the connecting line refuses to prorate on these cut rates. The •aria lines over which the ticket reads carry ttopassenger practically for $3.

Who Were on the Footboard. Lew Silence, says the Philadelphia Times, is saaof the veteran passenger conductors on the Knr York division of the Pennsylvania railroad. Bis name suits him, too. He seldom talks. He raw the 7:30 train to New York every morning. Yesterday he palled a little note-book out of his jMsfcet, and, turning to June 13, said: “I made (hat memorandum six years ago. That was the fastest run ever made on the New York division of Hie Pennsylvania railroad, from Philadelphia to Hew York—ninety two nnles in ninety-three aueates. The train made three stops and seven skw-ups. There was only one car and an engin* The car was Ailed with passengers from Hi* West and I ran the train. There had been sstorm up in the State the night before, and on til* middle division of the main line, between Harrisburg and Altoona, a big tree blew across fb* track. I think it was in the Lewiston narrows. The fast line, as the tnss was called, was • fonr hours and twraty-one minutes late when it cot to Philadelphia. I got orders to take those passcneers to N#w Yora as quick as an engine eouid pull a car. The whole road was cleared for ray train. One ml* was made in forty-six seconds, another mile in forty seven seconds and a third mile in fortyotae seconds. When we went down the hill at tfenlo Park we traveled three miles at the rate of aoveoty eight miles an hour around curves and on fthestraieht track. If a man had put his head out 9t a window he would have lost his breath. That’s ith history of the fastest run ever ever made on the New York division. I’ve been on some prrXty fast trains, but that beat them ail. I often see stories in the newspapers about fast made on Western roads, but when vou come *• vide ninety two miles in ninety three minutes, through a thickly-settled country like that between this city and New York, why. it's fast ridlag, because an engineer has to 6low up going through every big town. Still, we went through JRlitabeth that day running fifty eight miles an boor.’’ This statement would be much more appreciated had the name of the engineer and fire■wn been given. They really made the run. Commendable Action. An old Bee-line engineer, now in Pueblo, CoL, wnder date of June 24, writes the Journal as follows: “A few days ago one of our old engineers Mike D. & R Q. railway, on his arrival from Dearer with his engine and train, received a telegram that his wife was not expected to live. The .iScera of the company ordered an engine m*d car to take the engineer, Ridgeway, back to ■* e#ver t once. Our local papers comment thus* ‘lt is this kind of treatment that makes the men •* tq*& love to do their duty aud hold their

officers in soch high esteem.’ Is not this a contrast with the soulless conduct of oar leading railroad roenl Let them remember that to condescend to men of 1 w estate is the only way to win renown. Among the honored dead we may mention the names of those bright stars in railway life who figured in our time. Thomas A. Scott, president of the Pennsylvania railroad thirty years ago, was beloved by his men because of the milk of human kindness which run through his being. John Brough, though rough in exterior, his heart was warm toward his men; and among those princely men of his time none shone brighter than E. J. Peck, president of the old Terre Haute. Latterly, General Devereux has left such a name for his goodness of heart that when the lives of great railway officers shall be written, his will occupy an important page. There are only a few of conspicuous characters known to us. The D. & R. G. property will be sold on the 12tb of next month. It is exacted that the present officers will be continued in office, as their record has been such as to prove the efficiency of the management of this the most wonderful road on this continent.” May Accidents. The Railroad Gazette reports a total of ninetythree accidents last month, in which twentythree persons were killed and one hundred and seventy injured. Three collisions, six derailments and four other accidents caused the death of one or more persona each; nine collisions, twenty-three derailments and two other accidents caused injury to Dersons, hot not death. In all, thirteen accidents caused death and thirty-four injuries, leaving forty-six, or 49 per cent, of the whole number in which there was no injury serious enough for record. The twenty-seven collisions killed eight and injured eighty-five persons; the fifty-eight derailments killed eight and injured sixty-two, while in the three other accidents seven persons were killed and twenty three injured. Os the killed seventeen and of the injured seventy-four were railroad employes, who thus furnished 74 per cent, of the killed, 43£ per cent, of the injured and 47 per cent, of the whole number of casualties. As compared with May, 1885, there was an increase of thirty-one accidents, of fifteen killed and of one hundred and five injured. The unusually large number of collisions is a startling fact, and shows that there are still reckless men in the train service. Resignation of Vice-President Wadsworth. Milwaukee, June 28 —Julius Wadsworth, of New York, has resigned the vice-presideucv of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, which he has held for a number of years. The resignation was sent by letter to Secretary Myers, and it has not yet been officially announced. It will be acted on at a meeting of the board of directors, which is to be held in New York this week. President Mitchell and John Plankinton, of the board of directors, departed for the East to-day. 11l health is assigned as the cause of Mr. Wadsworth’s resignation. Gossip connects the name of Philip Armour and John Plankinton with the successorship, but knowing ones say the place will fall to Peter Geddee, a prominent New York financier. It is said his influence will be conservative, and that he will carefully guard the interests of the foreign stockholders of the road.

Miscellaneous Notes. The Boston Journal says: “When the.Atchison reaches Chicago we shall next expect to hear that negotiations are under way to control the Vanderbilt system of roads.” Within little more than a year all the locomotives ou the St. Paul & Duluth road (forty-three) have been changed from wood-burners to coalburners, though it is almost a continuous forest along the road. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy people have refused, it is said, to enter into any traffic arrangement with the Atchison, and the next best course for the Atchison is to use the Chicago & Alton tracks, if possible. The Westinghouse Air-brake Company announces that, inasmuch as its air brakes have now been in use some fifteen years, there are a large number of pumps which need general repairs, and, therefore, in order to promote the highest efficiency, the company will supply new pumps of latest design, and allow half price for return of old and partially worn-out pumps. The statement has been made that the Ulevelaud & Pittsburg, now leased to the Pennsylvania railroad for a period of 999 years from Dec. 1, 1871, is an example of an Ohio corporation which recognized its common stock holders and took them in at high prices long after the road had been reorganized and the common stock nominally extinguished. Such a statement, however, is not correct The Cleveland & Pittsburg was leased to the Pennsylvania for 10 per cent dividends upon its existing capital, and chose to make the dividends 7 per cent by issuing $142.85 of new stock in place of each SIOO of existing stock. It was in this way the capital was increased from $7,494,588 to $11,246,757.32. The purchase of a large portion of the land fronting on the-harbor of Painesville by a Pittsburg syndicate, as reported, indicates the creation of a third important line of transportation in freight traffic between Pittsburg and Lake Erie. Painesville possesses, after Toledo and Sandusky, one of the best harbors on the lake, but its utility has been obscured by the fact that its only railroad connection with the interior was the narrow-ganee and moribund Painesvtlle & Youngstown. The lease of that road to the Pittsburg & Western system and its alteration to the standard gauge will givb a railroad to the lake, under the control of the Baltimore & Ohio, which will prove an active competitor with the profitable routes already existing under the Pennsylvania railroad and New York Cen tral tutelage. Concerning the talk of the Atchison road seeking control of the Chicago & Alton road, the latter road officials say as yet it has not resulted in any proposition from the Atchison, or in any consideration of the matter by Alton. The Alton people want a guarantee of at least 10 per cent, because the road last year earned 12 per cent, on its common stock. The fact probably is that the Atchison company will make a traffic contract with the Alton into Chicago. That it would be a big scheme for the A., T. & St. Fe people to get control of the C. & A. will not be questioned. The Chicago & Alton is one of the best in the West, with its stock selling at 143 atffi *5. It controls some 850 miles of track, and would furnish the Atchison system a first class extension from St. Louis and Kansas City to Chicago. _ Increased Bids for the Fletcher Property. In passing upon the recent sales of Receiver Wallace of the Fletcher & Sharpe property, Judge Taylor yesterday took under advisement a last bid from John J. Cooper for the Ingram Fletcher house, which was at first sold to W. C. De Pauw at his bid of SIB,OOO. This Mr. Cooper has increased to $24,000. The bid of $24,000 for the Albert Fletcher house, by Louis Hollweg.was approved. He is required to pay one-tbird cash and the rest in equal payments in one and two vars. P. H. Fitzeorald increased the bid for the first Woodlawn lots to $1,400. This was also approved. He is to pay eash. The receiver was ordered to discharge all liens on the above property except taxes for 1885. ■■ i ii Criminal Court Sentences. In the Criminal Court, yesterday, the notorious Susan Kern received a sentence of three years to the female prison. She was found guilty of receiving stolen goods, consisting of a keg of beer, carried to her house about six months ago by a crowd of hoodlums. Said a court officer “We have been after Susan for a long time. She is now provided for for some time to come.” Hugh Griffin, who murderously assaulted Patrolman Brady some time ago, was sent to the penitentiary for two years. Frank and Leri Moore, lads under fifteen years of age, go to the House of Refuge for repeated petty thieving. The little fellows have had no home or relatives.

THE RECORD OF THE COURTS. Superior Court, The following decisions were rendered in general terra yesterday. 912. Francis M. Churchman et al. vs. The City of Indianapolis. Reversed. Howe, J.— When the mortgagee bids in the V r °t> at a sale for street assessments, presumably to protect his rights, he stands no better than any other purchaser, the assessment proceedings being totally defective, and the city is not liable for a repayment to him of the money so paid. (2.) In such case, if a right of action be conceded, the statute of limitations began to run at the date of his bid. (3.) In order to take the case out of the statute by concealment, there must be more than mere silence—a positive affirmative act. That the deed stated that the lands were legally liable and that the assessment had been duly and properly made, is but the opinion of an official, and did not bind the city, upon which plaintiff had no rieht to rely. 905. Jane Kline vs. National Benefit Association. Reversed. Howe, J. Taylor, J., dissents. —A benefit association issued a certificate of membership providing that, in consideration, etc., the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, a sum not exceeding SI,OOO should go to Jane Kline, wife of the insured, on his decease, aud that if he received bodily injuries of a specified kind he should be indemnified weekly. In the application the amounts of admission, dues, etc., were stipulated. It also included a “binding receipt,” which, if it contained a number, should be conclusive evidence that the above amounts had been paid. The certificate further stipulated that it should be incontestible for any cause except fraud, misrepresentation, or failure to report any change of occupation that would increase the hazard. The applicant was given the binding receipt containing a number with the cerificate, but he did not pay the cash, but .gave an order on his employer, on which was indorsed: “If thi3 order is not paid, then all my rights in said association are hereby forfeited." This order was never paid. The insured was killed. In an action on the certficate by his widow, Jane Kline: Held that her rights under the certificate were not forfeited by nonpayment of the order. 931. Charles F. Rasohig vs. Charles E. Clark etal. Reversed. Howe, J.—When a non-nego-tiable note is void under the act of 1869, which provides that where a patent right forms a part or whole of the consideration, the words “given for a patent right" shall appear above the signature, it is void in the hands of an assignee. 907. Martin E. Burt vs. Charles 11. Denney. Affirmed per curiam. Appeal taken. 908. Ohio L. Wade vs. Arthur Timberlake. Affirmed per curiam. Appeal taken. 917. Isaac Dunn, guardian, etc., vs. George W.

The action of the council allowing SSO a month to the Horae for Friendless Women was referred to the aldermanic committee on finance. The name of the chairman was stricken from the building committee and that of the city clerk inserted to form, with the Mayor and president of the Board of Aldermen, a permanent committee to fix the rent for Tomlinson Hall in the future. The report of the committee on contracts favoring the imorovement of Jobn street was adopted—yeas 8; nay 1. Alderman Laut attempted to introduce an ordinance repealing the cow ordinance. Mr. Laut was informed that all ordinances for the government or regulation of the city must originate in the Council. The board adjourned after passing two or three ordinances for the erection of lamp posts and an ordinance improving the sidewalks of Wright street from Buchanan to Coburn street The Attraction at the Museum. The Museum had a full house last night, and the performance given merits high praise. The specialty features are excellent, and the afterpiece is equally good.

The Pillars, a society connected with the Seventh Presbyterian Church, will give an enter tainment at Virginia-avenue Rink Wednesday evening next, at which the Lockwood Juvenile Band will furnish the music, assisted by the Snowdrift Quartet. District Attorney Lamb, who returned yesterday from T*rro Haute, says that there is no longer any doubt about his securing the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Eighth district, as he has carried every county at the Sriraaries except Vermillion, where his opponent, udge Jump, resides. The lawn social, to be given this evening at the residence of Captain W. G. Wasson, No. 210 Broadway, will be combined with an attractive musical programme, in which 3lr. Dan and 31rs. Jessie DeWolf, 3lr. Barnes, Miss Blanche Dollens, Miss Mamie Stowell, Miss Anna Wilcox, Mr. John Blackledge, aud the orchestra ot the Central-avenue Sunday-school will take part. Refreshments will be served on the lawn. The young people hope to see a full attendance of their friends. The second reception in honor of Mrs. Myron W. Reed was given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. J.

Jacobs, of Chicago, the chairman of the International Sunday-school Convention, and the twain will speak in the principal towns in the interest of religions education. The pulpit of Meridianetrettt M. £L Church will be eupplied during its pastor’s absence by Dr. Bowman and Dr. Gobin, of Greencastle, and Dr. Herr, of Dayton, O. Rev. R. V. Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, is in a position where he cannot personally consider the call that has been extended him from the church of Franklin. Some time since he pledged his own people that if they would inaugurate the enterprise of a new church building he would remain with them as their pastor. This they have done, and the pledge bolds good. So that,unless the presbytery or the church itself intervene, Mr. Hunter will be likely to remain with the church which has been so greatly prospered under his care. Mr. Hunter’s removal from Indianapolis would be a distinct loss to the city, and it is a matter for congratulation that he will undoubtedly remain. Prof. Melville B. Anderson, elected to the chair of English literature at Purdue University, is not unknown in the college circles of Indiana. He was for three years teacher of the French and German languages at Butler University, and for a year o? English literature in the Indianapolis High-school. For five years he has been professor of English literature at Knox College, Galesburg, 111., and in that time has made himself known in literary circles by his contributions, mainly of book reviews, to the Chicago Dial. Professor Anderson was three years at Cornell University, a year at the University of Goettingen, Prussia, and a year in Paris.- He has many friends in Indiana, and especially in this city, who will be pleased to know that he is attached to the Indiana colleges again. He comes of a scholarly stock. His father is a well-known teacher and minister, and is now president of a Baptist college in Oregon.

Louisville, June 28.—A special from Mount Vernon, Ky., says: “On Friday night, June 11, a party of masked men took a farmer named Joe Ramsey and his wife from their bed and brutally flogged them, giving notice to leave within ten days. Ramsey tried to sell what poperty he had, but could not. ‘lie disappeared soon after, and this evening his decaying body was fouud hanging to a tree in the woods. It is supposed that he committed suicide on account of threats by the midnight mob. The whipping of Ramsey and his wife is only one of the many midnight outrages that have recently been committed in the county, and as the excitement runs higher the feeling of indignation grows stronger against the perpe trators. Thomas Hays has been arrested, charged with being one of the mob.” Murdered by Her Insane Husband. New York, Jnne 28. —Joseph Villio, aged six-ty-five years, a native of Austria, during a fit of insanity, cat his wife’s throat with a razor. He then cut his own throat and slashed his left arm with a razor. He was removed to the hospital, and it is believed will recover. He was released only two weeks ago from an insane asylum. Killed by a Saloon-Keeper. Washington, June 28.—Frank A. Blackford, twenty-eight years of age, a eon of Samuel C. Blackford, formerly superintendent of the Capitol police, was shot and killed to-night by Sam Gassenheim, at the latter’* saloon on Pennsylvania avenue. The murder Was the result of an old feud.

A BRAVE YOUTH FROM CHUCKTOWN. He Dashes Alon? the Highway on Horseback and Picks Up a Bride. Centreville, Pa., June 28.—Peter Shock, a musician of local fame in dancing circles in this county, has only one daughter, named Anastatia, eighteen years of age. They live in Burrisville, a village three miles from this place. Seven miles from the home of the musician, dwells Amos Stulb, a young and athletic farmer. He frequently met sweet Anastatia at church fairs and berry festivals. Notwithstanding parental opposition matrimony between Stulb and Miss Anastatia was agreed upon. Father Shock be'carne obstinate and refused to bestow his daughter’s hand. This resistance on the part of the father was met by a proportionate persistence on the part of the suitor. On Monday an elopement was arranged, but these clandestine preparations were in due time discovered by the father. The dauehter was at once placed in durance vile, the father acting as the solitary sentinel before his daughter's door. This too-practical guardianship finally proved a great inconveuience, as the musician wa3 engaged to furnish music for a dance last evening, and the post mast be surrendered. It was decided that the Juliet, instead of meeting her Romeo, should accompany the musician, though with heavy heart, to halls where brightness and happiness held undisputed sway. As father and daughter rode along behind a Bleepy old mare. Stulb came riding furiously by on a fiery horse. As he swept alone the open carriage he leaned sidewise, picked Miss Anastatia up in his strong arms, planted her on the saddle in front of him, and dashed up thfe road, utteriDg a fierce shriek of defiance to the abducted girl’s astonished father. That evening Stulb and Anastatia were united in wedlock by 4 baldheaded parson. Every day adds to the ereat amount of evidence as to the curative powers of Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUENAL - T ? SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. . THE DAILY JOURNAL. There never was a season of more speoial and gen*ral interest than the present, with the promise of Increasing importance until the country is face to fae* with the great presidential struggle of 1888. In Indiana this is particularly true; for Indiana is already in the preliminary work of the campaign of 1886, fchn II result of which is to decide the choice of a member of the United States Senate, and to exert a profound influence upon the character and outcome of the quad? lennial struggle. Not only in this view is the approaching campaign in this State of unusual interest, but it is of much importance locally to the people of Indiana. The citizens of this State are suffering from thn maladministration of the Democratic party and from the outrageous partisanship of the last two General Assemblies. The State institutions have been prostituted to the basest party ends, taxes have been increased, debt has been piling up, and there is demoralization everywhere, from the lowest to the highest department of civil government. These questions of local administration must bo met and generally discussed by all the people, in view of the election to bd held next November, at which a verdict upon them is to be rendered by the court of last resort. No Republican in Indiana can well afford to be without THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL during this time. Its columns will be devoted to a faithful and intelligent discussion of all these ques tions in which the people have so deep and abiding a concern. The political character of The JOURNAL is fixed and well known. It is a Republican newspaper devoted with its best energy and ability to the advocacy of the principles of the Republican party. Journal believes there is still a pressing demand fog real, honest, upright Republicanism, and to answer that, so far as it may be able, is its desire and purpose. The Journal’s columns will be edited with earnestness and sineaafc ity, but with a due and proper regard to oandifl differences of opinion, and with full appreciation of the privileges of personal judgment and the tights of private character. In its political conduct Th® Journal will never be the organ of any man nor th® subservient tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue to assert independence of dictation in the as* snmed name of party, subordinating at all times whaf may seem to bo temporary partisan advantages to the good of the whole community, and thereby the real, permanent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty commendation, but political charlatanism will be rebuked! The Journal offers its past record in sup* port of its olaims for the continued confidence of tb® public. In view of the pending political struggle fat the State we believe no better agency for Republican success can be found thau to increar j the circulation of The Journal, both its daily and weekly issue* among the people. call the attention of polirioa| committees in the various counties and distrioto to this suggestion. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, as a newspaper, commends itself to everyone, irra< spective of partisan consideration.
