AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Personal and Local. Os the fifty railway postal clerks which were tanning between Indianapolis and Pittsburg eieht months ago, but eighteen remain, thirty - two having been dropped. Receiver Hammond, Traffic Manager Lazarus aai Superintendent Bender, of the 1., D. & S. toad, spent yesterday in Chicago. All are expected home this morning. The four townships in Jefferson county, In4iana, through which the proposed L., C. & D. road will run, will vote to-morrow to determine whether or not the required tax shall be given. Dave Wallace, who was offered the general agency of the Erie lines at Memphis. Tenn., the position formerly held byJ. H. Steiner, has declined the offer, and, as yet, no one has been appointed. The Cairo & Vincennes road earned the first week in October $13,117, an increase over earnings the corresponding week of 1885 of $4,429 General Freight Agent Fletcher is making an excellent record on this road. C. M. Stanton, superintendent of the Springfield division of the Ohio & Mississippi, is in California for the benefit of bis health. Letters recently received speak of it as being much improved since his sojourn there. The opinion prevails among the general freight agents who keep themselves well informed that east bound rates will be advanced about the middle of November. That definite action will be taken at the meetings on the 20th is quite certain. John King has been appoint*. 1 general master mechanic of the shops on th? B. & W. system. Mr. King was formerly master mechanic of the C., 1., St.' L. &C. shops at Indianapolis, and is a man who is very competent as a master mechanic. Yesterday was a bad day for railroading. The high winds delayed trains and made bad work of telegraph wires. Every Indianapolis road had more or less trouble. On the afternoon train ’f /ard everv train was from fifteen minutes to )ne hour late. President Watrous, of the New York, New HaveD & Hartford, says in regard to the alleged consolidation of New England roads that “the plans under immediate consideration for a union of the roads under one management have been dismissed from consideration. ’’ The C., H. &. D. road yesterday declared a 2 ■per cent, dividend. The net, earnings for the six months ending Sept. 30 were $615,392.58; surplus, $244,376.92. The road will buy 1,000 box-cars and shorten the time of several traffis. Last month’s passenger business was the largest for years. The high officials and several directors of the C., S. & C. and the L, B. & W. roads will, on the 21st and 22d of this month, inspect the C., S. & C. and the 1., B. & W. systems. The C., S. & C. stockholders hold their annual election on the 20th of this moDth, when several changes will be uade in the directory. Traffic Manager Henry C. Barlow, of the MexiRn Central, who has maintained an office in licago for the past two years, has tendered his resignation, the same to take effect Nov. 10. Mr. Barlow has been moved to taka this step by reason of a project on foot to move the headquarters of the operating and traffic department of the road to the City of Mexico. To the question, how goon will the 1., B. & W, be taken out of the hands of a receiver, Mr. Henderson, receiver and general manager, said: “This would be a difficult question to answer, as there are a number of important matters connected with the compromise between the C., S. & C. and the 1., B. & W. to be adjusted which have not as yet been touched upon.” The Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis first rorrtgage bondholders’ trustees have issued a circular announcing that preferred coupon stock given 4a exchange for the old securities is now ready for delirery. The exchange is accompanied with M privilege to subscribe to the first mortgage fconds and common stock of the new company, •ne block for each ten shares of coupon stocks. The time for receiving subscriptions expires Hov. 11. Superintendent Sherwood, of theC., 1., St. L. & Os yesterday completed the new time-table which takes effect on Sunday. On that date the train to be run solid between Cincinnati & St. LouJ* will leave Cincinnati as 7:03 p. m., the Chicago express at 7:40 p. m., the first arriving at Indianapolis at 10:35 p. M., the Chicago train at 11:10 P. M. Going east, the Chicago train will leave Indianapolis for Cincinnati at 3:40 A. M., the St. Louis tram at 4:30 a. m. The general tenor of remark of railroid men of pronnnenoe, and -even of leading members of Boards of Trade in the country, is in favor of maintaining the pools. At the end of a year’s trial of the pool, Commissioner Blanchard, referring to the meeting on the 20th, save: “Come prepared to stay three days, for there are many Important points to discuss.” And yet all of these serious questions resolve into the one genera lsubj eel: How can association roads be persuaded to deal honestly wirh their associates? Whoever can solve this problem JVill insure stability to pools and long terras for commissioners. M. Doherty, commissioner of the Indianapolis east-bound pooi, and H. C. Diehl, general freight agent of the 1., B. & W., returned yesterday from Chicago. Both express the opinion that east bound rates from that point are now well maintained. Doubtless the earnestness with ij'hich Commissioner Blanchard, of the Central Traffic Association, is taking hold of rate matters exerts a good in fiuenoe. Mr. Blanchard is well informed regarding the schemes that are resorted to in the efforts of some line agents to get •round the pools, and such agents stand an exfllent chance of being thrown out of their jobs such schemes are still worked. The Pennsylvania Company has fitted up on the Western divisions twelve coaches with the Standard Heater and Ventilating Company’s heaters. The fire with these heaters is all beneath the coach. The coal reservoir is filled at a terminal, and thereafter, until consumed, it is •elf-feeding, similar to a base burner. It is claimed that, being in the center of the coach, the heat is evenly distributed through the car. With other heaters now iu use one end of a coach is often warmer than the other end. regardless •f the fact that the heat is distributed through pipes running the length of the coach. Thus far the new heater has performed very satisfactorily, and it is quite probable that this heater Will be put into general use on their trains. In commenting upon the present status of the trunk-line pool the Chicago Times says: “It is not likely that much will be done this month toward the settlement of the disputed questions troub ing the trunk-line pool. The fact that President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, will be in the West for the next two weeks precludes •ny possibility of a meeting of the presidents until his return. A ridiculous rumor was Afloat tast week that President King, of the Erie, had filed a notice of withdrawal. None of the lines in the pool have more reason to desire its continued existence than the Erie, as the percentage •f through freight carried bv it is greater than by either of the other linos, and it could be harder hit by open competition than any of them.”

There is an uneasiness among the switchmen at this point which promises to make trouble in the near future, and, unless grossly misrepresented, among the leaders of what tnay culminate in a strike are the very men retained bv some of the companies and whose pay was advanced a few months ago when some forty of the 240 switchmen at this point struck and twenty-seven of them lost their jobs. Indianapolis roads are managed by too faiT dealing men to admit of any switchman or party of switchmen going out on a strike until at least the managers have been apprised of the switchmen’s £ r, ’ Vanco *> an d, if they have any, the officials will treat them honorably and justly, as almost •rithout exception they (the managers) commenced at the bottom round of railroad service, •nd know the character of the work, the exposure and trials switchmen have. Little 'Grounds for the Sharp Advance. Tlm stock of the 1., B. & W. and of the C., S. & C.. is making too sharp advances, the Boston Advertiser intimates, for the frail ground there is for such an upward movement. The Advertiser says that there it no more reason for advancing the shares of those two companies than the formation of a partnership between a bankrupt mar ifacturer and a merchant who was making no money would be canse for Bradstreet’s immediately marking the new firm "G A a.” To be sure, the arrangement between President Farlow, on behalf of the Sandusky, lad President Corbin, on behalf of the 1,, B. &

W.; which was signed in New York on Saturday afternoon, recognizes all of the Sandusky’s claims for back rental, which is equivalent to over $5 per SIOO of the Sandusky’s $4,003,000 of common Btock. And this back rental will be paid in some form of security that may be sold at some price or other for cash. Moreover, the 1., B. & W. people pledged the Sandusky and rectors to secrecy in regard to the precise terms of the consolidation until they could have time to tAke a turn in the stock market themselves, just as they did in Roading. But the question then arises: What would Sandusky be worth when transformed into preferred shares of L, B. &WJ It was Patrick Henry, I believe, who said he knew of no lamp by which to guide his footsteps except the light of experience, and that would certainly lead the investor away from 1., B. & W. securities of all descriptions. The Indiana, Bloomington & Western railway has not even yeVfiled its annual report with the Illinois Railway Commissioners for the the year ending June 30, 1886. Its floating debt has been stated by its own officers on one occasion et $600,000 and on another at $1,000,000. and its general financial condition is a puzzle of greater proportions thaD the present ownership of New York & New Eueland stock. Will Needs Be Patient a While Longer. The English shareholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have had a meeting in London and have appointed a committee (Mr. John Taylor, who is now on the ocean), to wait upon the officials of that roact and to demand prac-. tically that stock dividends shall be declared upon all surplusage of earnings over that divided as cash dividends as well as upon a portion of past accumulations. In commenting on the English shareholders’ action the Philadelphia Press says: “This matter has been agitated before. There may be little significance, however, in the assembling of the holders of the stock and the passage of resolutions, as it is as much in the ordinary course for holders of American securities to get together at the Cannon-street Hotel and free their minds, as it used to be for the average Londoner to present his grievance in the columns of the London Times. It must be remembered that the English holders of Pennsylvania have grown to be a body of importance. They own more than half the stock (some estimates pnt it as high as 75 per cent.), and if they should choose to assert themselves positively and at the proper time on any point in the administration of the company’s affairs, they would be all-powerful. They hold that they are entitled to all the profits of the company as stockholders. These profits, in the shape of stocks and bonds in the surplus fund, amount now to a sufficient fund to declare a dividend of 100 per cent, on the stock in securities which in 1885 actually earned nearly 4 J per cent.. and have a respectable nest-egg of from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 in the treasury. The statement of this fact is a short way of saying that the Pennsylvania is the strongest of the large corporations in the world. It explains the continual demand for the stock for foreign and domestic account. division of the surplus will at some day grow to be a vital question, but it is safe to leave to the judgment of the present management the time of the distribution of this great wealth. The growth of business in the West, which will make the linos west of Pittsburg self-supporting and more, and the building of a great trunk line through the South, are matters which will come up prior to those agitated by the English holders.

New Passenger Pool Formed. Chicago, Oct. 14.—T. J. Potter, of the Burlington; R. R. Cable, Rock Isand; J. C. McMullin, Alton, and A. A. Trflmage, "Wabasb, met here to-day and succeeded in reaching a compromise which will avert a war on Southwestern passenger business. This was done by agreeing to form a gross-money pool for three years on all business between Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and other competitive points. Any road dissatisfied with the pool, by filing notice between Oct. 1 and 10, 1887, can have the privilege of withdrawing on Jan. 1, 1888. The one thing which has kept the roads from agreeing heretofore has been the question of how the business was to be divided, and this was arranged as follows: The Wabash is to be allowed to take as a basis its business for any one of the years from 1883 to 1885, or the twelve months from July 1, 1885, to June 30, 1886. The other roads take all of the business for the years 1884, 1885 and 1886, and from these an average is struck and the percentages awarded on the result. The Burlington, which had interposed an objection, agreed to report its local business west of the river. This accomplished, the meeting adjourned until to-morrow, when a report will be submitted to a general meeting, which will bo called next week to ratify the compromise. Ohio & Mississippi Stockholders. Cincinnati, Oct. 14.—The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad was held this morning. President Peabody’s annual report shows: Gross earuines, $3,671,919.54; operating expenses, $2,577,708.39; net earning 6, $1,074,211.15. The following directors were elected: J. F. Barnard, Geo! S. Morrison, Briggs Cunningham, Geo. Magown, James H. Smith, F. P. Dimpfel, A. Grade King, William Libby, E. W. Whittaker, E. R. Flint, Robert Garrett, J. M. Tracy and S. M. Felton, jr. The directors at once elected John F. Bernard president, and Capt. W. W. Peabody general manager. Captain Peabody has decided so offer his resignation shortly, and Mr. Barnard will probably combine the duties of general manager with those of president. The new president is now an officer in several Western railroads. The directors left this afternoon for Louisville, whence they will proceed to St. Louis. The Roadmasters* Association. St. Louis, Oct. 14.—The Roadmasters’ Association completed its session to-day. and after electing the following officers adjourned: President, John W.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1886.

THE RECORD OF THE COURTS. Supreme Court. Hon. G. V. Howk, Chief-justice. The following opinions were rendered Oct 14: RENTS—REVERSIONER—ACCOUNTS. 12762. Wm. W. Watson vs. Joseph S. Penn. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Mitchell, J. —Where a testator had made a lease, the life tenant under the will took her estate subject to the loase, and the will, which created the life estate, giving the reversion to another, the reversioner has the right to collect the rent under the lease, which fell doe after the death of the testator t.nd his life tenant, as an incident to the real estate, as against the personal representatives of the latter. (2.) Such rent is in nature a chattel real, and cannot be assimilated to accounts until they have accrued or become due. LIENS—PRIORITY—ASSIGNEE. 12639. John Parkhurst et al. vs. Watertown Steam-engiDe Company et al. Johnson C. C. Affirmed. Zollars, J.—As between the assignor and assignee, by the assignment of part of the notes, the assignor assigns the mortgage, not pro rata but pro tanto: he does not assign a proportionate share of the mortgage security, but so much as is adequate for the payment of the notes assigned. The assignor thus surrenders any preference he may have by reason of the notes retained first becoming dne. Having assigned the notes subsequently becoming due, he cannot in equity enforce his prior lien as against his assignees. But that postponement does not change the priority of the liens held by the assignees, nor in any way change the relations of those liens to each other. In such case the subsequent liens will be adjusted as though there had been no prior lien in favor of the mortgagee. That is. the notes heid by the assignee will have preference according to the date of their maturity. NEW TRIAD AS OF RIGHT. 12043. Joseph J. Warburton vs. Richard M. Crouch et al. Boone C. C. Affirmed. Elliott J.—A suit to revest title in an owner whose land had been obtained from him by fraud and subsequently conveyed to a fraudulent grantee, is not an ordinary suit to set aside a fraudulent conveyance and subject lands to the claims of creditors but the.title to the land is directly in issue and anew trial as of right is demandable. (2.) Where the court refused a motion for such new trial but granted it on the second motion, while the proper course was probably not taken, yet there was no available error. INTERPRETER—WITNESS—EVIDENCE. 13045. Henry A. Skaggs vs. State. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Howk, C. J.—(l.) “That an interpreter appointed by the court was incompetent was a question of fact, and not of law, for the ultimate decision of the jury. It is within the discretion of tho court to appoint an additional interpreter. (2.) Indictment for assault and battery with intent to commit rape. A question was propounded to tho prosecuting witness, who was deaf and dumb, through the interpreters, which shocked her inate modesty, and she fled into an adjoining room, where she was followed by an interpreter, without direction of the court and without objection, who succeeded in getting an answer, which she repeated to the jury. This is not fairly an infringement of the constitutional right of the accused to meet the witness face to face while testifying. If it were erroneous the question is not given in the record, and there is no showing that the appellant was injured. (3.) When a new trial is asked on the ground of newlv-dis-covered evidence it must be shown that the moving party could not by the exercise of reasonable diligence have produced the evidence at the trial, and the facts showing 'reasonable diligence must be stated; the statement of mere conclusions will not suffice. 13027. Henry Stevens vs. Reuben Murphy. Wabash C. C. Dismissed. 13022. William SnDderland et al. vg. Andrew Martin et al. Delaware C. C. Motion to dismiss overruled. Superior Court. Room I—Hon. N. B. Taylor, Judge. To-day— No special call. Room D. W. Howe, Judge. Mary Goliiver vs. Wm. Gulliver, divorce. Granted plaintiff. Lou Myriek vs. Lyman Myrick; divorce. Granted plaintiff. Lewis Newbergervs. Chauncey Butler; dismissed and costs paid. Thomas Brooker vs. Wm. F. A. Bernhamer; suit to quiet title. Title quited for defendant To-day—No special call. Boom 3—Hon. L. C. Walker, Judge. John M. Faust vs. Mich. Faust; account Judgment for $404. Michael O’Connor et al. vs. William Beatty et al.; account. On trial by jury. To-day—Same cause continued. NEW SUITS. Room I—3GOOI, Samuel L. Houston vs. "William A Houston: note; S4OO. Room 2—35999, Henry A. Stephens and Henry Widlar vs. Wm. C. Waekke; foreclosure chattel mortgage; S2OO. 36002, Alice E. Skinner vs. L., N. A. & C. Railway Company; damages; $15,000. Room 3—3G000. The Phenix Insurance Company vs. John J. Hessong; note; SIOO. Criminal Court Hon. Pierce Norton, Judge. To-day—No call.

I could buy one for five cents, but I got this fellow at a cheaper price.” U I am tired of them,” said her friend. “When I get through with my present husband, I don’t want another. I would not take him again for love or money."
