The Vestibule Patent. Chicago, Feb. 14.-Jndgcs Greshara and fclodgett began the final bearing to-day of arguments in the great vestibule patent infringement caso of the Tnllman Palace-car Company against the Wagner Palace-car Company. This suit wcls decided by tho same judges last May, -when they granted an injunction against tho Wgner company, enjoining it from using tho patents used in the vestibuling of trains registered by Henry Howard Sessions on Nor. 15, 1887. The injunction was afterward modified bo as to permit tho Wagner people to continuo the operation of vestibuled trains upon filing bonds to indemnify tho complainant ior any lninngement, and a rehearing was also secured. Since then tho Wagner company claims it las secured evidence which will convince the court that tho Sessions patents are invalid on account of lack of novelty. The complainant does not claim any value for the vestibule designs, but holds that it is entitled to protection for the Sessions patent for buller plates, which tend to reduce the oscillation of trains to a minimum, rendering travel on such trains not only endurable, but positively a luxury. Messrs. Ofiield, Twole aad IS. F.Thurston consumed almost the entire day reading depositions to substantiate the claims of the Pullman company. Attorney Payson began his argument for the defense, and will conclude to-morrow morning. Hewill be followed by Mr. Cobunij and3Ir. Thurston will close lor the complainant. . rersonal, Local and State Notes". J. D. Layng, of New York, president of the Bee-line, is in the West on Dusiness. C. E. Doyle, superintendent of the Cairo Vincennes road, is stopping for a day or Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Loco- . X 1 17t .1 1 .4.Uv V. moiivo .ugineer, ueuiea mo lumut iuai no will resign. There is little question as to his being his own successor at the next annual meeting. A. McClure, formerly a passenger conductor on the Indianapolis & St. Louis road, now holding a similar position on the Missouri Pacific road, is in the city visiting old-time friends. W. R. Busenbark, assistant general passenger agent of the Michigan Central, has accepted the position of general passenger agent of the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City road. The appointment takes effect March 1. Stock of the Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg road is steadily moving upward, and there is considerable speculation as to the cause. One friend of the property, predicts worth par. ' At a meeting of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad directors, yesterday, at Boston, at which all the directors, except Messrs. Perkins, Payne, Coolidge and Gardiner, wero present, a dividend of 1 per . tent, was declared. It is now alleged that rates are being cut by the Ohio & Mississippi on grain shipped -Xast from Nebraska points via Beardstown. The movement of grain is large by ; this route, which seems to be the only o - -o JThe only important development of the Coxe suit, at Washington, before the interstate commission, is the testimony of the . general manager 01 tne benign vaay roan - showing the profits of the company in 18S3 to havo been $4S4,4G3, against 337,583 in 1S57. The belief gains favor that the C, I., St. L. & C. stockholders have not let go control of the property, but only sold blocks of stock to the Vanderbilts. At any rate if the consolidation is at any definite stage the details of the plan are guarded jealously. Stock of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. $10y l-4Jper share, which indicates that the consolidation scheme with the Bee-line is not perfected, or at least that there is a struggle for the control of tho C, I., St. L. t C. road going on. The Now York Central peoplo are very generous in their dealings with the widow vt their lato general passenger agent, Henry Monett. Since his death they have been paying her his salary, $625 a month, and propose to do so for six months after the tlato of his decease. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the . Chicago & Indiana coal roads, in the six mouths ending Dec. SI, 1888, earned $187,603.55 over all charges. Semi-annual divid- . ends of 3 per cent, on the preferred stock of both companies aggregate $133,950, leaving a surplus of $53,547.55. ... William Martin, who was taken to the City Hospital on Wednesday night, having lost both legs in a railroad accident, received his injuries on the Louisville & Nashville, not on the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, as some of the papers 6tated yesterday morning. As evidence that J. D. Mackey is quite sure of obtaining control of tho Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis road, it is stated "that he has been in conference with the managers of the Kentucky &. Indiana Hridge Company as regards using their bridge to reach Louisville. If tho Ohio. Indiana & Western road was operated only between Indianapolis and -Peoria it would be one of the best paying roads coming into this city. As the matter .now stands, the profits ot the Peoria division are largely used in making up the deficits of the eastern division. Orders were received by the master mechanic of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City railway shops, at Charleston. 111., yesterday, to cut the expenses of shops and jrfcrds $45 per day. At present there is not over lorty-nve men, employed, at low wages, and this order will reduce tho number fully one-half. ' The traffic relations between the Ohio, Indiana & Western and the Cincinnati. Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago roads havo become somowhat strained, and the former is working now with the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, and will, doubtless, put on through coaches between Peoria and Cincinnati, as in former years. - While Indiana road3 are almost without exception showing an increase in earnings over the corresponding period last year, in but few cases are they largo. The L.,N. A. & C. shows an increase of only $413 the first week in February; the Evansville & Terre Haute, $1,0S2; the Evansville & Indianapolis, $516, and the Peoria, Decatur & Western, $2,000. General Manager Carson, of theL., N. A. x C., and General Manager Bradbury, of the Lake Erie & Western, went to Cleveland, last night, for the purpose of consulting with General Manager Beach regarding the former road using thejoint tracks ot the Bee-lino and the Lake Erie &. Western road between Massachusetts avenue and a connection with the Union tracks. The contract for building the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago road has been awarded to the Southern Construction Company, of New York. This road is to start at Charleston, S. C, and extend- to the grain regions of the Northwest, tho lino being formed by the purchase of several existing roads and tho building of links. This is an old scheme in which several Indianapolis parties were once interested. Steel rails struck bottom figures this nnr. chased a larce lot of rails at a l'ittshnrir mill at $26. and just before that tho Pennsylvania Company purchased some at $26.50, but below $20 per ton has never been touched for steel rails until this week. The terms of sale Avere cash and prompt delivery. The burden of the complaint on which the interstate commissioners again visit Chicago is that some of the roads havo adopted very clever expedients for violating the provision of tho law which requires the publishing of advances in rates. One favorite method is to mako a reduction in Tatej at some obscure way-station and thus secure some desired business, following it by immediately posting in the same surreptitious way notice of an advance to tho original tarilt. The Mneke.y syndicate has secured control of the Ohio riverroad, and will inafew days commence running the trains of this road into the Kvnnsvillo & Terro Haute depot at Evansville, ferrying the trains over tho river until such time as a bridge can be built. This inovo gives the Mackey ynd!cat the short line to Memphis and the Southwest, connecting with the Chesateake & Ohio at Princeton, Ky. The importance of the deal rill become the more apparent when the further plans of tho Mackey syndicate are better understood, Vice-president and General Manager White, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Dayton road, lias signed the agreement by' TJhich it becomes a member oi th Unie

wees, some ueing som uy a Pennsylvania mill at $25.90 per ton at the mill. A few rmnths aso the New York Centr.il nur.

Railway Company and has a voice in its management. The best feature of the deal is the fact that it will relievo the Union tracks of 7(0 to 00 cars a week, as the C, II. fc D., like the other roads, will run all of itsthroush business over the 13eltroad. During thow last ten years there lias been more complaint of the long cuts which tho C, H. &, 1). ran over the Union tracks, blockading the streets frequently, than from the trains of any other road. Considerable attention is bein attracted to the heavy exports of graiu from Baltimore. There is a large gain in shipments of corn shown over last 3ear, while at other ports, Philadelphia excepted, there has been a falling off. . This heavy corn movement has been going on since December, and has been carried largely over the C., I., St L. & C, the 13. & O. and the Vandalia and Pennsylvania lines. While no one dares to charge that the rate has been cut, there is something mysterious about the immense movement. It is thought that the benefits to tho shipper are in some way connected with lighterage charges or elevator companies. The puttin g on of a train out of Indianapolis for the Last at a convenient morning hour by the Ohio, Indiana & Western bids fair to work a very desirable reform. For years a person wanting to go East had to be at the station before 4 a. m. or wait until 11 a. m. With this move on the part of the O., I. & W., the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton will pnt on a train for Cincinnati, leaving here about 7:30 a. m., which will give the O.. I. fc W. from the west and the L., N. A. & C. from the north a Cincinnati connection at a convenient hour. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago, as well, have under consideration the putting on of a train out of Indianapolis for Cincinnati at 7:30 A. M., and it is more than probable that the Chicago, St. Louis it Pittsburg will pnt on another train out of Indianapolis about tho same hour for the East. The Pennsylvania Company has just turned out of its shops at Altoona an instruction car for the traveling exemplification of the Westinghouse appliances. It is sixty-eght feet long, and finished in standard Pennsylvania style. Under one end of the car is a four-wheeled truck, and under the other a six-wheeled truck, with one brake-shoe on each wheel. Both platforms are equipped with the Westinghouse friction bumper. In one end of tho car an elegant oflico has been fitted up, and in tho main room is found a complete exhibition of everything pertaining to air-brakes. It is the purpose to havo this car travel over the different railroads, exhibiting its working and instructin g the men in the practical handling of tho different appliances. Mr. W. J. If artman, formerly instructor of 'the Rose Polytechnic institute, of Terre Haute, IncL, will have charge of the car. ST. VALENTINE MISSIVES. The Postoffice Force Busy in Sending on Their . "Way Annual Messages of Sentiment. Yesterday was a great day with valentines at the Indianapolis post office. The stamp clerk was not hustled ana hurried, and harried and worried as on previous years on this saint's day, probably owing to the circumstance that the stamp agencies recently established about the city relieved the overflow. It was noticed that tho missives received from abroad, as well as the pictorial messages of love that went out from this city to absent llovers, were larger and heavier than in preceding years, though the number received from abroad fell short of last year's offerings. WThat effect this will have upon the matrimonial market for future deliveries can hardly bo definitely approximated. The comic valentine, however, raged like a pestilence, and this plague will probably continue a week longer, for each victim of pictorial malice seeks revenge in sending to the person he suspects of having inflicted the injury a token as villainous as the one he received. Comparatively few of these go outside the city, and the carriers who deliver them feel about as cheerful and well-pleased with the work as if they were spreading smallpox or yellow fever germs. This year none of the large valentines stick in the postoffice because of insufficient

postage. Two weeks ago the Postmastergeneral ordered that letters insufficiently stamped should havo tho additional necessary stamps placed upon them by the office clerks. When delivered, the additional postage will be collected. In spite of the belief that marriages on St. Valentino's day are likely to be particularly happy ones, but four couples m this county took out licenses from the county clerk yesterday. To Be Taken to Kentucky. Benj. James, who is now in jail in Terre Haute, is to be taken to Kentucky, tho Governor of that State having sent to Governor Hovey a requisition for him. James is charged with stealing quilts and other articles that were on exhibition at the fair in Greenville, last October. DAILY WEATHER BULLETEY. Indications. Washington, Feb. 14.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.

The Senate Appoints a Committee on Recla mation of Arid Imds Other Business. Washington, Feb. 14. Tho resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Stewart for a select committee of seven Senators on irriga tion and reclamation of arid lands, with a clerk at $6 per day, wa3 agreed to. The Senate bills granting right of way to the Cherokee Central Railroad Company through tho Indian Territory, and to tho Jamestown &, Northern Railroad Company through tho Devil's Lake Indian reservation, were reported and placed on the calendar. The House bill for the allotment of land in severalty to the Indians on the Oneida reservation, in Wisconsin, was reported back, adversely, and placed on the calendar. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment to the resolution, reported from the committee on privileges and elections, which was laid on the table and ordered printed. It instructs the committee so to frame legislation on the subject of elections that it shall not apply to any State whose Constitution and laws provide ample security for the honest exercise of the right to vote, for the just and impartial counting and return of tho votes, and for the just, impartial, and due ascertainment and certification of the results, and in which State those requirements have been honestly complied with. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, addressed tho Senate in support of the bill relating to imported liquors,1 introduced by Mr. Trye on the 2l8t of December, 1887, reported back, adversely, from the judiciary committee on the 19th of March, 18S8, and then placed on the calendar. The bill reads: The consent of Congress Is hereby given that the laws of the several States relating to the sale of distilled and fermented liquors, within the limits of each State, may apply to such liquors when they have been imported, in the same manner as when they havo been manufactured in the United States. Mr. Wilson dwelt at considerable length on the beneficent eftects of tho anti-saloon law in Iowa, quoting the opinions of judges as to the remarkable reduction of crime since the law had gone into operation. No action was taken on tho bill, which still remains on the calendar. A conference committee was ordered on the legislative appropriation bill, and Senators Allison, Dawes and Cockrell were appointed conferees. The Senate then resumed consideration of the resolution reported from the committee on privileges and elections, and was addressed at length by Mr. Coke, but before concluding his speech he yielded for other business. Senators Stewart, Allison, Plumb, Hiscock, Gorman, Reagan and Jones of Arkansas, were appointed a select committee on irrigation, authorized by Mr. Stewart's resolution adopted to-day. After a brief executive session, the Senate adjourned. New Mexico Kt to Be Made a State. Washington, Feb. 14. On motion of Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, the Senate bill was passed providing for writs of error to tho United States Supreme Court in all cases involving tho question of tho jurisdiction of the court below. On motion of Mr. Forney, of Alabama, the Senate amendments were non-concurred in to the legislative and executive appropriation bill, and Messrs. Forney. Randall and Cannon were appointed conferees. Mr. Peel, of Arkansas, called up the bill to divide a portion of the Sioux reservation, in Dakota, into separate reservations, and to secure relinquishment of tho Indian title to tho remainder. Tho lirst vote was taken upon an amendment offered by Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, opening the land to free entry under tne homestead law, and it was rejected. The next vote, was on an amendment offered by Mr. Payson, of Illinois, providing for freo entry by honorably discharged soldiers and sailors. Tho amendment was rejected and the bilUwa passed. . Mr. Saycrs, of Texas, from tho committee on appropriations, reported back the fortification appropriation bill with Senate amendments, and asked for its present consideration, but on a poinv of order raised by Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, it was referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, called tip tho conference report on the Senate bill for tho the admission of the State of South Dakota. The report, which reports a total disagreement, was agreed to. Mr. Springer moved that the House insist on its amendments and ask for another conference. This motion having been agreed to, Mr. Baker, of New York, offered a resolution giving the House conferees . the following instructions: First To exclude the Territory of New Mexico from the bill. Second To amend the bill so as to provide for the admission of South Dakota by proclamation of the President, under the Sioux Falls constitution, to be resubmitted to tho people of South Dakota with provision for a new election of State and federal officers, and without a new vote on the question of division. Third-That the proposed States of North Dakota, Montana and Washington shall bo admitted on the eame basis, either all by proclamation of the President or all by formal acts of admission. Mr. Cox, of New York, offered a substitute for the resolution, differing only from Mr. Baker's proposition in that it provides for the admission of North Dakota, Montana and Washington by proclamation of the President. He earnestly favored the immediate admission of these Territories. It was clear that the Senate would not agree to tho admission of New Mexico, notwithstanding that it was in his opinion a Republican Territory. The admission of New Mexico should not bo made dependent on the admission of south Dakota. Every Territory should stand on its own merits. Applause. Mr-Spnnger insisted on retaining in tho bill the provision for the admission of New Mexico. Mr. Symes, of Colorado, declared that no petition had been presented, no bill introduced to show that the people of New Mexico desired admission into the Union. Ho did not see why the people of New Mexico should be forced into the Union by having a provision tacked on to the Dakota bill for political purposes. Air. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, argued against the exclusion of New Mexico. Mr. Wilson, of Minnesota, spoke against the proposition that the House should yield in regard to New Mexico. If it was known that the House was firm in its position, tho Senate would recede from its disagreement to the House amendment. Mr. Joseph, of New Mexico, said that the oldest Territory in the Union came knocking for tho fourth time at the doors of Congress, asking for admission, lie would rather be the citizen of a Republican Stato than of a Democratic Territory. Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, thought tho tune had arrived when the whole territorial system ought to be wiped out. If he had his way he would adopt a constitutional amendment preventing Utah, as an iinpuro sister, from coming into the sisterhood of States, and then admit every other Territory as a State. It was time that everv foot of land in tho Union should tear oft' tlfo swaddling-clothes of territorial infancy and put on the full crinolinoof the sisterhood of States. Mr. Baker accepted Mr. Cox's resolution as a substitute for his own. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, demanded a division of the instructions, and the vote was first taken upon that portion of tho resolution instructing the conferees to eliminate New Mexico from tho bill. It was agreed to yeas, 135; najs, 10G but at the last moment Mr. Breckinridge changed his vote from the negative to tho affirmative for the purpose of moving a reconsideration. On motion of Mr. Baker, the motion to reconsider was laid upon the table. The next clause of tho resolution which was voted upon was that instructing the conferees so to amend the bill as to provide for the admission of South Dakota by proclamation, vnthont a further vote on the question of division. This clause was agreed to-ycas, 157; nays, 102. The motion to reconsider and lay iipou tho table were made by Mr. Baker, and the yeas and nays were ordered on the latter motion. Mr. Breckinridge interjected a motion to adjourn, but this was voted down. Mr. Baker appealed, in the name of the appropriation bills, to Mr. Breckinridge not to tiliout?r against thin measure. Mr. Breckinridge replied tbat ho did not intend to filibuster any longer than was necessary to secure a full house to vote upon

tho measure. That conld bo secured to

morrow. . . . Mr. MeM ll n. of Tennessee, then inter polated another motion to adiourn, and demanded tho yeas and nays, which were orciered. lhis motion navmg oeen im down veas. tfiJ: navs. 143 Mr. Breckin a yeas, najp, x-ti ju. Div,iuu3 followed it up with a motion for a rountil 11:30 to-morrow, and raised tho ridge cess Tinint of nn nnnmm. Messrs. Baker ana lirecKinnago men .attempted to reach an arrangement by which the vote on tho motion to table the motion to reconsider should bo taken now, but a demand for the "regular order" froai the Republican side cut short any agreement, and Mr. McMillin again moved an adjournment. Before the yeas and nays wero called, Mr. Russell, of Massachusetts, rose to correct the record, which reported him as having, yesterday, voted against the resolution of the minontvof the committee on elections. He had, in iact, voted in the affirmative. The motion to adjourn having been voted down, an arrangement was effected whereby a vote on the resolutions shall be taken to-morrow at 12:45, and tho House then adjourned. , No Change of Venue for Ives and Stayner. New York, Feb. 14. Ives and Stayner had a long interview with their lawyers this morning in Ludlow-Street jail. They also had a consultation with Mr. Nulte, the broker. Justice O'Brien, in the Supreme Court, to-day, denied without comment, the motion made on behalf of Henry S. Ives and Geo. H.
