- AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. The South Pennsylvania. Xnw York. Jan. 31. The Sun says; "Tho destiny of the South Pt cnsylvania railroad has at last been tattled. The indications are that an agreement as to its disposition was nrrivcAat two months or so ago, when the Netr York Ceutial and Pennsylvania railroad entered into a new traffic and rate alliance soon after the Central's open reduction in west-bound rates. The control of the scheme has been gradually drifting toward the Varnlerbilis for some time. The death of Dr. Ilnstetter, of Pittsburg, helped the movement, which has since that vent been paining momentum, so that on Tuesday negotiations for the purchase by the Vanderoilts of the Pittsburg interest in the concern were successfully concluded. The Vanderbilts have all along been in a condition to make or war the enterprise, but they bad incurred in tho beginning mral obligations to the other promoters that they could not ignore. They have not for a long time desired to gee the work of construction resumed, and as the scheme had serv ed their purpose they were willing to get rid of it. The price paid for the Pittsburg interest has not tv?en made public; in fact, the entire trann-

action has been carefully guarded, hile no anthoritative information can be obtained on the subject, it i perfectly well understood that the Vanderbilts will, in due time, torn th whole outfit over to the Pennsylvania railroad, as they agreed to do when the great West hore deal was made. There is only one way to look at the transaction, and that U as a most important step toward the preservation of harmony among the trunk lines. Obtaining Signature to the Agreement. Chicago, Jan. 31. President Hughitt, of the Chicago &, Northwestern; President Cable, of the Bock Island, and President Strong of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, constituting the committee appointed to secure s'gnatnres to the presidents' agreement, held a brief conference at the office of the chairman, Mr. Hughitt, to-day, and mapped out the work before them. The signatures of all the principal Chicago lines, except the Illinois Central, were obtained before the day was over, and President Strong left to-nisrht for St. Louis and Kansas City to secure those of the Missouri, Kansas to Texas, and the Kansas. Ft. fccott & Gulf, about which there is still some uncertainty. The posi- . tion of the Illinois Central and that of the Chicago, Burlington to Northern remains unchanged, the former contending thatthe agreements already in efiect are snuicient and satisfactory, and the latter holding out because its competitors for seaboard traffic, via Mackinaw City, are not admitted to membership in the association. Powerful influences are at work to bring both these roads into line, and with a fair prospect of success. Personal Local and State Note. The Chicago to Indiana Coal road has declared a quarterly dividend of 1 1-2 per cent., payable March 1. The stockholders of the Belt nnd and stockyards will hold their annual meeting in this city on Tuesday next. The trunk-line passenger agents havo agreed on a rate of 1 cent a mile to military organisations of New York State to the Washington inanguraL Th net earnings of the Erie road, under all its adverse circumstances, show an increase in 1SSS over 1S87 of $2C6, tho total for the y ear bein g $ 1,J7,97L There has been a handsome increase in freight traffic with the better weather for moving gram, i ne transie rs over tne tseit road are now reaching 2,000 or more cars a day. Indications are that the Pullman company is to do most of its car-building and repairing at Pullman. At its shops in Detroit but one-fourth of the regular force is at work. The Chicago to Atlantic second mortgage bondholders have decided to appeal trom the proposed reorganization scheme. This means that the litigation is to be continued two or three years longer. The Mail and Express says that there is considerable surprise manifested at the resignation of Treasurer liahn, of the Cin cinnati. Hamilton to Day ton Bailroad Com pany, coming as it does wnile Ives ana ctaynor are trying to secure DaiL The absorption of the Woodruff Sleepingcar Company by the Pnllman company is unfortunate for the Indianapolis, Decatur A. Western shops, as for threo years past these shops have been doing all the repair ing of tne Woodruff cars running over u esiern lines. An official of one of the Indianapolis lines, who was on the Baltimore to Ohio for many years, received a letter yesterday from one of the orlicials of that road, in which it was stated that the New York extension would undoubtedly bo built as soon as possi ble. The daxnazes paid out in the year 1888 on the Pennsylvania lines west ot Pittsburg amounted to $lo3,530. This covers damages pain 10 injured passengers, to employes on thft rniH rr in f Via cYirtTw nrinna L-il!fil while walking on the tracks, and for acci dents at highway crossings, etc. It is reported that the express business of me rmladclphia cc Heading road, now con trolled by the Adams company, will short ly pass into the hands of the Lnited States Jr.xpress Company, and that in turn the latter company will vacate certain South ern territory which it now occupies. The present management of the Balti more cc Uhio road is making strennous elforts to secure the services of ex-Vice-president Thomas 31. King, who retired trom the B. & O. service when Mr. Snencer was elected president. The inducements held out to Mr. King are 6aid to have been very flattering. Ihose who fully understand the situation with the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com pany pronounce the rumors ot a change in the Dtesidencv. which was first started bv the Penny Press, of Pittsburg, as being all rosn. 5. 31. ITevost, wno is slated, by tne Press as the new general manncrer under the deal, says: There is nothing in it at ill." Last month the Indianapolis car-works built 459 cars, which was the largest amouut f work done in any one month since the "Works were started, as they were all large cars for the C. 15. & O. road. Of the LOuO jars which the C, B. to Q. contracted for Cto huve already been shipped, and the Tvorks have until March la to build the other 400. Most of the Indiana roads are making iaorable exhibits of earnings for January. in the first thr wmV of the month the c?io Mississippi earned S'J44,&& against -J$.1j9 in the corresponding ueriod of ISftS. and in ls7.

A bill has been nren.irrd r-Tntin? in the scalpiut; of tickets, which will be presented to the legislative bodies of this State. It Is similar to the law in force aaiu.-t ticketsea'ping in the State of Pennsylvania. The perioral priMenser airents if unveml nf the r'ad in this Mate are paid to be behind the rropost.d legislation. The executive comIcittre of the American Ticket-brokers Avociation held a meeting at Louisville, y.. yesterday, which was attended by -ru'e r rey. oi tnis citj, tor tn purpose uking steps to tight Mich legislation. . Kailroad emnloves are takinir an interest in th lilation of this and adjoining ciaies wiiere it is promised to reduce thfj rates cn travel and leii;hts.

ing laws which will do away with strikes and settle questions of dispute by arbitration It is said that the bill to make two cents a mile the passenger rate in Ohio was defeated through the influence of railway employes m that State. All roads centering at Columbus, O., on fdnesday restored rates to tari ff. Columbus and Indianapolis both have had a bad name as rate-maintaining points for years, especially m their nasseuger sen-ice. All the Columbus lines have signed an agreement to redeem tickets in the hands of seal pern and other outsiders, and the printed tantl rates are hereafter not to be deviated from. i,ach road is also to require connecting roads to redeem all outstanding tickets at once. Under the agreement, the roads are bound not to place tickets in the hands of outside parties without first giving thirty days notico in writing. CULLIXGS FROM THE COURTS. More Arrests Cpon the Federal Grand Jury Indictments. Other arrests on indictments involving the charge of violating the election law were reported to the United States marshal yesterda3 Tho first was that of Oliver

V. Voorhees, of Lawrence. He is charged with swearing in an illegal vote, but as in a majority of such Cases, ho Was TPlenl nf hie lumio ,n Z'JVi baiL ilorton Fusselman, of Martinsville, - as anoiner who is required to answer thu same charge. This case is aid Jo come from testimony offered by detective Lloyd, who, until a few days ago, was an assistaut door keeper in the Senate. Fusselniau gave bonds, with Judge Grubbs as surety. of Mount Vernon, who is charged with bribery, and is held under $1,000 baiL . A New Jury Drawn. The county jury commissioner yesterday drew the following names for jurors for the February term of the Supei.or Court, in Boom 2: Harry Craft. Mahlon II. Floyd, John J. Cooper and John C. Pierson. of Center; John it. addy and Geo. b. Dunn, township. Jesse wright served as a juror in the Criminal Court for six months last vear. and Benjamin Tyner was juror for some time in tne Superior Court along about the same period. The standing of the jury is aoove tne average, air. Usborn was a candidate for couuty commissioner and Mr. loyd for county treasurer at the last elec tion, while Air. Hill is an ex-treasurer of the State. Another name will have to bo drawn, as in the list is Jonah F. Lemon. He has been dead for some vears past: but by some mistake his name had been placed in the box. Extravagance and liquor. Judge Irvin yesterday released Boy S. Clarke on a bond of $000. Clarke is charged with collecting money from Browning &. Sloan for a livery firm in whose employ he was and keeping it. The sum was small, and the act was thought to have been done while under the influence of liquor. Clarke is a native of Kentucky, and was raised near Frankfort. At the age of eighteen he fell heir to a large estate from hU grand father, amounting somewhere m the neighborhood of $125,000. Part of this he in herited in a livery stahle in tli -vlelnitv of Frankfort. He xnnde n specialty of fine horses. At some of the sales he surprised and even amazed old horsemen by giving fabulous prices for this kind of stock. Uniortnnate investments of this nature and tho drinking habit, it is said, have brought him. at the age of twentj'-seven years, to his present condition. Criminal Court Docket. The jury in the Daniel Nickerson case re turned a verdict of guilty of criminal assault, and sentenced him to ten years in the Michigan Citv prison. A five-hundred-dollar fine was also imposed upon him. Judgment on tho sentence was at ouce passed bv Judge Irvin, and Nickerson was on his wav to the penitentiarv by noon. 1 he case of 1 nomas burns tor grand lar ceny, is under advisement by the court. James Jones and James Beardon, convicted of petit lareenv, were fined each 1, and seuiene4i to tuirry aays in tne worK-uouse. Ben Pedro, arraigned tor petit larceny, was relsasd on a bond of 8200. Frank Lewis and Thomas Bnmett. nineteen and eighteen years, respectively, convicted of petit lar ceny, were released on promise oi gooa oehavior. Wulff Again Sued. Mrs. Susan Benson has sued Conrad Wulff, the saloon-keeper on Morris street, for ,- 000 damagos. She is tie woman who was accidentally shot by Niemeyer, who, it is charged, got drunk at WultTs saloon. The allegations are those 6et forth in the Miit of Mrs. Bensonr8 husband against Wultf, recently tried and resulting in favor of the defendant. The Court Record. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. James W. Manifold et al. V3. James T. Jones. Madison C. C. Affirmed. Elliott, C. J. In an action to quiet title, if there is a valid outstanding lien or title in favor of anv defendant, the action must faiL An answer setting up such lien or title is good. Where real estate is taken by a devisee under will charging certain payments on it to the decedents estate, such sums are liens on the land devised, as against a purchaser from the devisee. If the devisee, being executor of the will, charge himself, as executbr, with such sums, it is a payment, and tne tana is uiscnargeu irora ine lien. His bond as executor was henceforth liable for that amount. One owning the fee of real estate may have his title quieted against certain persons, though it be subjected to a lien in tavor of others not parties to the action. The lien of one not a party cannot be set up to defeat the action by one having no interest therein. A lien in favor of an estate, of which there is an executor, is only available to defeat an action against the estate; heirs or devisee cannot tako advantage of it. - No. 13X57. Joseph Lewark vs. George H. Carteret a L Marion S. C. Affirmed. Coffev, J. There is no warranty in judicial sales; if the debtor has no interest none nassei bv the sale, and if the shenu sells in good faith he is not responsible to the purchaser for defects in title. A sheriff in conducting a judicial sale is not the agent of the judgment-creditor in such a sense as to make Slich creditor responsible for his representations in the absence ol proof that tbey were made by his procurement. Bepresentaiious oy a uepuiy sueriu vviiiio making a sale cannot be charged to the sheriff; such representations are not within the scope of his employment. No. 1257. The Phoenix Insurance Com pany vs. Chas. A. Bowe. Posey C. C. Affirmed. Mitchell, J. In a complaint on an insurance policy the allegation that from the date of the risk until its destruction the plaintiff had an insurable interest, as the owner tnereoi, to us iuu vaiue is a suiticient allegation of ownership, even though the policy provided that if the "insured shall not be the sole and unconditional owner in fee of said property then this policv shall be void." The failure to deny, under oath, the execution of an insurance policy, properly set out as the foundation of the action is an admission of its execution. , No. 14313. Win. H.

Movement to Secure It for This City Next Tear Indiana's Claim Strongly Urged. There has been for 6ome time past a quiet but determined effort, on the part of Indiana Grand Army men, to secure the National Encampment of the order in 1S00 for this city. Snchencampment meansthe presence in the city for a week, during the early fall, of several hundred thousand comrades, many of whom brin with them their wives and children, and make- a reunion and holiday of the gathering, at the same time that they transact the business of the order. Tho meeting at Colnmbus, O., last year, was one of tho most remarkable that has ever been seen in this country since the war, it being estimated that over 00,000 people visited that city during encampment week, over CO.OOO of them sleeping under canvas in th'e camps, with which the city was surrounded. It is believed Indianapolis, if selected .13 tho meeting place forlSOO, will bring together a still larger representation of the order and its friends, but considera ble work will have to be done to obtain the location for that year. Milwaukee got tho encampment of 18S9 by putting in a bid for it 60 heartily that there was no cain.i vine her demand. She sent her Mayor; aldermen and council, with representatives of every trade and profes sion in ine ciiy to bear ner invitation, aud accompanied it with condi tions so liberal and generous that she carried off the honor from a dozen com petitors. Indianapolis was m that race, but drew out before linal decision was made. and Indianians then put in the balance of the session strengthening their chances for the vear following. Some irood miwdonarv work was done, and a good manv promises ot votes were securer, out as Washington City is in the rield as a competitor, a good deal of support and co-operation from the people of this city and State will be needed to make Indianapolis' chances seenre. Tho department encampment meets in this city on the 13th and 14th of next March, and as some ueiiuiie lniormaiioii will nave to be had at that time as to what the city is willing to do, the matter ought to be thorontzhlv cauvasscd at once. Lieutenant-irovernor Chase will go be torn the IJoard of Trade at it meeting on Monday evening next and ask that body to take some suitable action in the premises. Other representative bodies will be consulted and toe campaign will be pmdied from this time forward. In a recent letter to the New York Trib une Adjutant-general alker, of this city, in uririm: the claims of Indiananoli.H. wrote that here all comrades can come together and greet each other at binall expense, and at the miiic time witness the near completion of the greatest monument ever erected to renetuate the valor and Mcriri of tho? who gave their lives in defeno of liberty and humanity. 'During the war," he continued, 'Indiana nohliers never failed to respond t tho call of their comrades, whether on the risht. left or center. Thev have nexer failed in the erformanre ox incir wnoio uuiy in any great crisis,

either during or since the war; and they confidently expect that their comrades in other States will accept their invitations and share their hospitality at a national encampment to be held at Indianapolis in 1800.
