Annual Exhibition of Iligh Class Fowls and Tet Stock, with Bench Show as an Annex. " The Indiana State poultry and bench exhibition, which commences its annual exhibit at Tomlinson Hall to-day, promises to be the most successful of any show of its kind held in tho city for many years. "Workmen were busy all day yesterday in making preparation for tho accommodation of the exhibits, and from present indications ail available space will be occupied. The open winter has been particularly favorable to the raising of poultry, thoir good keeping and shipment, and the management feci confident from these facts that no liner show of fowls has ever been made than will bo at their present session. Secretary Pierce was busy all day yesterday making entrees, and had received over six hundred applications from various parts of the Union. There will bo between fifteen hundred and two thousand chickens and turkeys on exhibition, representing all varieties, besides any quantity cf pigeons of various kinds. Tho section of therountry represented extends as far east as West Virginia, as far west as Iowa, north to northern Illinois and south to southern Kentucky. Heretofore the exhibits have not been classified, which has caused soma confusion. This year each variety will bo to itself, and alTord not ouly a better presentation, but also give a liner opportunity for comparison, rr res of various kinds to the amount of $2,000 will be given away during the week, Uesides the reirnlsr entrees for corapctitiou quite a number of special exhibits will bo made, which will be for sale. Tbe bench bliow iven in connection with the poultry exhibition will also be unnsally good. Word has been received from many sections of this as well as other States, and iu all probability by the timo the exhibition is in full progress over one bnndred doqs will bo shown. II. A. bridges, of Columbus, O., will have charge of the poultry department and Ben ii. Myers, of Crawfordsville. the bench department. Tho hall will be open to visitors all week, both day aud night, and none of tho exhibits will bo removed until Monday morning. I'uxixiTURx at Wm. L. Elder .

ONE FOR DUDLEY'S COMPANY

Tho Superior Court Relieves It of the Injunction Which Stopped Its Work. Kcrersal of the Decision Given in Special Term Council Has No Power to Grant Exclusive Rights Other Court Matters. In the general term of the Superior Court, yestcrda, in tho case of tho Citizens' Streetrailroad Company vs. the Indianapolis Cable Kailroad Company, a decision was rendered reversing the judgment of tho special term and deciding, in effect, that the temporary injunction against the defendant by tho special term was unwarrented. Tho defendant was enjoined until tho final hearing from laying its proposed 6treet railway tracks in the center of any of the streets named in the order, whether tho plaintiff had then laid any track thereon or not, and also from laying its tracks alongside the tracks of tho plaintiff already laid on any of such streets. Judge Howe,who delivered the opinion of the court, said that tho order of the special term seems to have been based upon the assumption that the plaintiff has the exclusive right to use the streets named in. it for street railway tracks, and upon the further assumption that the defendant is not a le gal corporation Tt is undoubtedly true," the Judge continued, "that the Common Coun cil of Indianapolis, by tho ordinances passed in 1804 and 1865, intended to vest in the old Citizen's Street-railway Company, the predecessor of plaintiff, the exclusive right to lay street-railway tracks upon all the streets of the city then or thereafter to belaid out for the term of years therein specified. But the municipal legislature is itself tho creature of the btate, and has no powers except such as are expressly or impliedly granted to it by the State Legislature. The State Legislature never gave it any power to grant by ordinance, resolution, contract or license, or in any other wav, to any street-railway company the exclusive right to use for street railways any street, or portion of any street, for any specified time, and the attempt of the City Council to do this was a usurpation of power which did not belong to it, and was totally null and void. Ko one denies that by accepting the ordinances and expending largo 6nms in the building of such railway, tho plaintiff and its predecessors have acquired certain vested rights which the city cannot impair, but they did not acquire any vested right to prevent other 6treetrailway companies from using streets not occupied by them, nor to prevent them from laying tracks alongside their tracks when practicable so to lay them as not to injure, nor materially interfere with those already laid. There is a very full collection of the modern authorities on this and fcimilar questions iu the Grand Kapids, etc., Co. vs. Grand Kapids, etc., Co., S3 Fed. Kep.,059, which leaves hardly anything more to be said on tho subject. See also 2 Dill on Mun. Corp. (Sded.J Section 705, note; Cooley Const. Lim. (5th e&J 251; Citizens, etc., Co. vs. Town of El wood (Sup. Ct. of Ind.), ION. E. Kep. 024. "Even if the city ordinances before mentioned could be construed as making a valid grant to tho plaintiff, as its couusel claim, of the exclusive right to lay 'horse railways upon the streets of the city, this, it has ueen held, would not prevent the city from granting to another company the right to lay railways upon them, operated by cable or electric power. Teachout vs. Des Moines, etc.. Street R. W. Co. (Sup. Ct.of Iowa), S3 N. W. Rep. 145. There is nothing inconsistent in the grant to two or more street-railway companies of tho right to uso the same streets, any more than there would be in allowing two or more hackmen to stand or drive thereon, and there would rarely arise any serious conflict in the exercise of such rights, if proper regulations were prescribed by city ordinances. In the absence of any such regulations the company which first gets possession of any given portion of a street tor the bona fide purpose of constructing its track thereon would acquire a paramount right to so much of the ground as uiiglit be occupied by its track, but not a paramount right to the whole length or breadth of such street, to the exclusion of another legally incorporated company. This has been so held even in cases where the State has expressly conferred upon the city the power to grant to a street-railway company the exclusive right to construct railways upon its streets, and the city has made such a grant. Citizens' Street Railway Company vs. Jones, S4 Fed. Rep. 579. "Of course I do not mean that it would be a bona fide exercise of its rights by one company to lay a square here and a square there, without head or tail, so to speak, or to lay a track and then cover it up with dirt and gravel, for tho purpose of thwarting another company which hatt in good faithbegun constructing its railway upon a given street with tho intention of occupying a certain portion thereof as part of some general system of street railway before adopted by it. The argument that the defendant is not legally incorporated is based upon the assumption that there is no statute in Indiana authorizing the incorporation of street railways operated by cable or electric power: that the ouly statutory authority for the incor5 oration of street railways is the acts of une 4, 1801 (Acts Spec Bess. 1861, p. 75), and the acts supplemental thereto, set out in R. S. 1881. Chap. 41, and that this allows only the incorporation of street railways operated by horse power. The statute referred to authorizes incorporations 'for the purpose of constructing, owning and maintaining street or horse railroads, switches or side-tracks, upon and through the streets of cities or towns, within the State, etc. If it had authorized the incorporation of horso railroads only, the authorities cited by plaintitl's counsel would bo in point, and I should not contend that it authorized tho incorporation of a railway operated by cable or electric power. But the statute authorizes tho incorporation of 'street' or 'horse railways, aud it seems to me an unwarrantable stretch of judicial authority, in view of such plain language, to say that the Legislature meant horse railways only, Uoth in the legal and in the common acceptation of the term 'street railway,' it is understood to mean a railroad constructed, or operated in any way, which does not materially change tho grade or structure of the street, nor interfere -with the rights of the general public therein. Ono operated by steam would so interfere, and could not be deemed to have been within the legislative intent. But one operated by cable or electric power mav be so constructed and operated as not to alter the character of the street nor interfere with the rights of tho public any more than ono operated by horse power. "That street railways, at the time of the re-enactment of the statute above quoted, were usually operated by horse power, and that cablo and electric railways wero then unknown, is of little consequence. It cannot be presumed that the Legislature which passed the act of 1801 supposed that the climax of improvement in travel had then been reached, and that the wit of man would never bo able to devise any better motive power than horses and mules for transporting to and fro the increasing multitude of cities. This statute should not, as was said by the Supreme Court of Iowa, in Peachout vs. Des Moines, etc.. Streetrailway Company, supra, in reference to an ordinance, bo so construed as to fetter and prevent the right to use new methods and appliances, tho result of the inventive genius of the age, or to apply the discovery and application of the latent powers of nature to tho uso of man. As well might the chartered owner of a rope ferry have insisted, years ago, that his exclusive right to that method of transportation, prevented the right to charter a ferry propelled by steam, when that element of nature was discovered as a propelling power.' "Holding these views. I ain of opinion that the temporary injunction granted by the special term was entirely too broad, and was based upon radically wrong construction of the rights of tho plaintiff. I deem it proper to repeat what 1 said in the caso between tho same, parties, last July; that neither tho judges of this nor any other court can make city ordinances, but that it is highly. important to;the public welfare that the body which can make them should enact one prescribing 6uch regulations as will compel street railways, aud other corporations using the streets, to proceed with reasonable dilgicuce and leave the streets in a decent and safe condition, preserve the public peace aud avoid coutlicts so disgraceful and dangerous to tho city as tho evidence chows

that between tho parties to this suit to have been." Judge Walker concurred in the decision, but Judge Tavlor did not vote thereon. Following the reading of this decision an appeal was taken by the plaintiffs, and it will go to the Supreme Court for final settlement. It was stated yesterday by representatives of tho 'Dudley company that an eflbrt would be made to advance the case on the Snpremo Court calendar. In the event of the decision of yesterday being sustained by tho court of last resort the latter company will look to the indemnifying bond given by the Citizens' Streetrailroad Company for all damages sustained by defenilents for destruction of tracks and delays occasioned by the granting of the injunction refercd to. The Jury Instrcifited. In tho Criminal Court, yesterday morning, the grand jury, consisting of Messrs. E. J. Howland, James A. Norwood, Wm. Fry, A. S. Snyder and Henry Whittinger, was impaneled and charged by Judge Irvin. In his charge the Judge referred to tho recent defalcations of JohnE. Sullivan and Joseph A. Moore and instructed the grand jury as follows: "Gentlemen, it has come to theknowledge of the court that an officer of this county, a late county clerk, is a defaulter to a large amount, and also that an agent at this point of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company has betrayed his trust and is a defaulter. Public interest demands that you take some notice of these defalcations, aud this is especially due because of the magnitude of tho county clerk's defalcation. It is your duty to give these matters thorough and prompt investigation, and if the evidence brought toy our notice justify, return indictments against the oftenders, without regarding whether injured persons desire an investigation or not. Your relations to tho public good demand that you do this." Ordered to riead. Judge Woods, of tho United States District Court, yesterday ordered persons under indictment and who have been arrested to appear in open court to plead to the indictments returned against them on or before the 12th inst. He has also ordered that a docket be made up of the cases so put, for issue, setting them down for trial ou and after the 18th inst, a special venire for thirty jurors to appear on that day. This order applies to persons indicted, but not yet arrested, provided that each person shall have live days after his arrest within which to appear and plead. Alleged False Imprisonment. Lcander P. Garrett, who was before Justice Smock somo time since, and locked up on a charge of embezzlement at the instance of George P. Hopkins and the Lovell Manufacturing Company, now brings suit against these parties tor false imprisonment, and Ms complaint, claiming $5,000 damages, was filed in the county clerk's office yesterday. Damages for a Fall. Martha A. Tanner brought suityestcrday, in the Superior Court, against Charles Mayer & Co., to recover for injuries alleged to have been received by falling into the basement of defendants' store, during the last Christmas season. She estimates her damages at $5,000. Deputy Marsh als Must Walt. Marshal Hawkins is now paying off the supervisors of last Novembers election. Funds for payment of the special deputy marshals of that election will not bo liero until somo time in March.

Great Things Expected of the New Club Under the Brush Management. The Washington correspondent of the New York Sporting Times has this to say of President Brush and the Indianapolis club in the last issue of that paper: "Indianapolis must henceforth be known as the Phcenix City of the National League. After a hard struggle with unkind fate- the town succumbs, only to rise up again with greater strength and vigor to take its own place among its sister cities without so much as giving an opportunity for any other aspirant to snatch the prize. While nothing ofiicial has been received at League headquarters since last week, Mr. Young is in receipt of informal advices which plainly indicate the state of affairs, and show that President Brush, with his rejuvenated board of directors and reinforced capital, will continue to manage affairs in Iloosierdom. 'Tho new organization, said Mr. Young to me to-day, 'will start out under very 1'avoroble auspices. It will, as I understand, have a capital of 30,000 and will go in to make base-ball a success from the start. In having Mr. Brush at the head of affairs the base-ball people of Indianapolis aro very fortunate. A clearer-headed man is not connected with base-ball. lie has tho full confidence of tho League, both as to his ability and sterling integrity. Ilis disappointment at the demise of tho old association was very keen, and I am very glad that ho has an opportunity to again associate hinnelf with tho national game under more favorable conditions.' n Preparing for the Season. As soon as the management of the new base-ball organization received official information that Indianapolis had been elected to a membership in the National League, preparations for the coming season were commenced, and tho work of getting them into shape is being pushed as rapidly as possible. President Brush wrote to Jack Glasscock immediately, presumably in re-' lation to the managership, and a reply from him is expected to-day. While the matter is not yet definitely settled, it is almost a certainty that the famous short-stop will captain and manage the team. If he is made manager. Glasscock will report here at once, and it is altogether probable that he will be in Indianapolis within a week. Mr. Brush has also written to several of tho other players, among them Denny, and negotiations for tho purchase of Getzein have been opened, and,s the club has an option on him, there is little doubt of success. From now on things will be pushed vigorously in all directions. No trouble is anticipated in signing the men, all of whom will probably bo asked to report about the middle of March. Judgo Walker was not ready to hear the receivership suit yesterday, "but he will probably consider tho matter today. Base-Ball Briefs. Joe llornung, the old Boston left-fielder, yesterday signed with Baltimore, Millieanhas finally signed with tho St. Louis Browns. A great many people here would like to see Jim White ou the Indianapolis team. As be is in a row with Boston he might be secured. President Young has officially promulgated tho election of the "Indianapolis Ball Club" to the vacancy caused by the surrender of tho franchise of the old organization. Something of a Old Wave, At 0:C5 O'clock last night the cold-wave signal wa3 ordered hoisted. The temperature, according to sivil-service predictions, will fall about 23 degrees by 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

1I0W IT IS DONE IX ALABAMA. So Elections of Any Kind in Which Democrats Bo Xot Count All tho Votes. L. E. Parson3 and R. T. Armstrong, of Birmingham, Ala., were in the city, yesterday, stopping, en route to New York city to pay a visit to the President-elect. They called upon General Harrison yesterday afternoon, and wero much pleased with their reception and the easy aud candid talk they had with the General over Southem affairs. Both gentlemen, when met by the Journal reporter, said they had come in no one's interest for any position, the visit being one of courtesy. They are both wellknown Republscans, Mr. Parsons being tho son of ex-Governor Parsons, of Alabama, who is also a Republican. In conversation with tho reporter the subject of elections camo up. Mr. Parsons, who is an ex-confederate soldier and an Alabamian by birth, said: "Elections! Well, in a general way we don't have them. The Democrats count all the votes their way. whether they are voted or not. This really applies to more parts of Alabama than one. It is specially true of the black belt. 'Are ballot-boxes stuffed? 19 "Ohyes. It is so common in some parts of the State that it even gets into church elections. A ballot-box was borrowed in a neighboring town where the congregation were to elect a preacher, aud the leading men being Democratic politicians, forgot the occasion and actually stuffed the box." "What is the proportion in some of the counties of black and white voters V "The county of Dallas has 1,800 white men and over 7,000 negroes. That county has for years, and at the last election returned 9,000 Democratic votes. For years there has been no county Republican ticket . run there, so one would think there would be no excuse for stealing the vote to keep off negro domination. This sort of steal gives that county fortyrive delegates in the Democratic State conventiona great power while with its 1.800 white men. Democrats, it is reallv entitled to only nine delegates. White Democrats in northern Alabama submit to this swelled representation because of their fear of negro domination in the black belt. Dallas county has, in tho Legislature, four members in the lower house, and ono Senator. Take Shelby county, lying right above Dallas, which is a white county, with a larger white population and a larger Democratic vote, has only one member in the lower house and one-third of a Senator. So it is all over the State. Tho county of Jefferson, which pays one-fourth the taxes of the State, has ouly two members of the lower house, and half a Senator. So, in defrauding the black voter, there aro many white counties that suffer." "The law, then, helps fraud?" 'You people in Indiana do similar things by apportionment, but with us the express purpose is to defraud the voter. The law is so framed as to induce fraud at elections, and to prevent its discovery and punishment. To contest an election means to summon every man in the county and swear him as to how ho voted. It has happened that tho Democrats failed through overcontidence in stealing enough to elect their men on tbe faco of the returns. Thero were boxes with more Republican tickets in them than thev expected. Some election officers had been lionest. In such a dilemma they have been known to empty the tickets from the objectionblo boxes and carry them away and destroy them. They have then made out the election certificate to suit themselves. There is no contest; a contest would be useless. The county ring attends to such boxes." "Wha aro the county ring?" "Why, the sheriff, probate judgo and county clerk. 1 will not say that in many white counties tho elections aro not fair, but they say they will not allow a man to be elected by negro votes as they do not consider it good policy to have any candidate under obligations to negro voters. I have known a case where the poll list as voted came in in alphabetical order, all the a's, b's, c's, d's, etc, in regular succession. That meant that they just took the registration list for each precinct and made out thoreturn without tho formality of an election at alL In Montgomery county, three years ago, a man named Screws was unfairly defeated in a Democratic primary in the black belt, and many Democrats declared they would not submit to the rascality and voted for him. lie received a large majority of the votes actually cast. At one of tho precincts it was found that one of the officers of election was favorable to Screws and would not agree to frauds. So the other two made out the returns before the election, left them at a grocery in Montgomery and after the election called, got them, and returned tho papers as recording the vote of the election! There was talk of contesting, but the matter was hushed up and smoothed over. Mr. Screws's brother, editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, the Democratic organ of the State, said snch a contest could not be; that a beginning of that sort would result in tho disruption of the Democratic party." "Are you going to put my name in with that interviewl?r inquired Mr. Parsons at this point. "Yes," replied the reporter, "you look liko a man to stand by what you say." "Well, go ahead. There are a great many men who nave been with the Democratic party iu Alabama who aro getting very tireu of these things, especially business men. I reckon I need have no objection to letting a little of the truth bo known." . . . THE DEFAULTER MOORE. Rumors as to the Absconding Agent's Return to This City, The gossip concerning Joseph A. Moore and his transactions took a sudden change in character yesterday, and at every turn rumors were encountered which located him in this city At Tanglewood, at his father-in-law's, and elsewhere. The most promising of theso was traced to Allah Schofield, a son of W. A. Schofield, who had said to Mr. Arthur Timberlake, the druggist, that Moore was at Mr. Thomas II. Sharpe's, at Glen Ethel. A Journal representative drove out to Mr. Schoficld's farm, during tho afternoon, to run down tho rumor. The Schofield place is less than half a mile from Glen Ethel and Tanglewood, and has been rented to Mr. Moore for the past two years, being largely used as a pasture for that gentleman's herd of fine cattle. Mr. Schofield was in the city when the reporter reched his farm, but returned just before dark, and willingly told all he knew. Rumors seemed to have been almost as plentiful out in the rural neighborhood as they have been in the more thickly-populated city, and have had apparently about the same foundation. One was to the effect that on Tuesday evening of last week, a buggy, containing two men, (one of whom was presumed to be Moore) left Glen Ethel after dark, returning an hour or so later with but one occupant, having in the meantime gone to Bright wood. The foundation for the story that Moore is still at Glen Ethel 6eems to have been furnished by Robert Carr, a colored preacher who has recently worked for Mr Sharpe, and lives in the immediate vicinity. Carr is quoted by farmers Schoheld. Hammond and Tyner as having said positively that he saw Mr. Moore at Mr. Sharpe's Glen Ethel farm on Tuesday last, after he had been reported as bcinr in Montreal. Carr also stated that a ward of his, a girl who is now in Mr. Sharpe's employ, told him on Saturday, that Moore was at Glen Ethel tho night before. It is hardly probablo that tho Connecticut Mutual's late representative is either at Tanglewood, Glen Ethel or in this city, but the above stories aro given for what thev are worth. Mr. Schofield. the elder, in his talk with the Journal representative, said: "I hardly know what to think of these rumors. At some times I believe Moore has gone, and at others I am convinced ho is still at Mr. SharpcV I am particularly interested in finding him as I have a business matter of importance to mo to settle with him. About two years ago Mr. Moore rented my farm, agreeing to pay a stipulated price for the use of my barns, feed and pasture lands. Since that time he has had full benefit of it but has never paid me any rent, and he now owes me 2,700. Since the failure the stock has been removed from my farm, and as I had no legal possession of it 1 had to let it go. I could not hold it in law as security for my claim and I will probably lose it alL" Abbot's ArtachmenL Vice-president Abbot, of the Connecticut Mutual in tho absence of Loan Asent
