ANOTHER MOVE M ALLEY

The-llocon's Enemy Makes Trouble at the Annual Meeting of the Company, He AttemDta to Dictate the Election of Directors, tat Is Defeated The Alton Persistent in its Demand for a Two-Cent Eate. The annual meeting of theLouiaTillcNe w Albany &. Chicago .Railroad Company was held at New York yesterday. The following were elected directors lor f onr yean in the place of those whose termsnad expired: John E. Russell, Leicester, Mass.; John A. Hilton, New York, and Allan G. Lamson. Boston. The grcss -earnings fur tho year T-ere &?,CG1,1S2; gross expenses, $1,630,1TS; net surplus earnings, 133,09?; cost of -operating the road, C2 percent, a? arninga; amount spent in improvements since January. 1M0, $1,077,554. There was.aJaxge attendance at themeeting owing to the charges against the management recently preferred by W. S. Alley, a New York stockholder, who applied for a receiver of the road. The directors were voted iprnnder the classification to aerve for four years. Mr. Alley protested against the vote under the classification, and demanded that the fnll hoard of thirteen directors bo voted for. The president allowed his protest to be read. There was an undercurrent of bitterness throughout the uieetfng and considerable discussion ensued over the demand of li. J. Leonard to .vote for the fnll board. He was finally allowed to vote. He voted 812 shares for thirteen directors in order to kill tbeclassi- 4 lication. Jn case th election is set aside by the courts ho would elect his thirteen men if no votes were cast against his. To forestall this -result a Boston stockholder voted 4,&"X) shares for thirteen directors in the interest of the management. The other votes were cast for only three directors. T he inspectors of election, on advice of their counsel, reported that these votes for thirteen directors wereofi'ered but were rejected on tho ground that only three dirertors "were to bo voted for. Mr. Leonard says that an injunction will likely bo applied for. Counsel Godwin, representing Mr. Alley, was at tho meeting but took no part except to advise Mr. Alley to have his protest recorded This action is thought to mean that tho b.tgal proceedings instituted by Mr. Alley will be continued and will be directed toward annulling today's ejection. MmpllfyinK Train-Heating Problem. A Louisville mechanic lias devised a new and improved method of heating trains by eteam, which, if it is the tmccess expocted, will f reatly simplify tho problem whicn has . been tho study of many mechanical minds. The device has been named the Balblan r team-heating coupler, and for several days ;it lias been undergoing a teat on the Daisy trains run between New Albany and Louisville over theKentucky and Indiana bridge. Tho coupler is constructed entirely of metal. The manner of its construction overcomes the heretofore insurmountable difficulty of employing metal to convey air or steam from one coach to another, so as not to atfect the attachment or detachment of a coach or be ailected by the train turning a sharp or complex curve. The only means now employed for conveying steam from coach to coach is a rubber hose. The best quality of this article made is rotted by the steam in a month, and as the hoae is costly its use entails a large expense and constant care. The hose frequently bursts, and it is in numerous particulars undesirable. It requires the loss of considerable time before coaches can be detached after the bieair. has been turned on. and in case of a wreck the escaping steam is liable to bring death to tho passengers. The Balbian coupler does away with all of this, it is constructed with looae and sufficient joints to work as smoothly on the worst road and around the worst curves aa the axle of a spring buggy. It i absolutely steam tight and works automatically, so that tho moment a coach is uncounted the. passage of the steam is shot oil' and it is confined to the pipes. The value of thiajf eature in case of a wreck is one that every railroad man will recognize. The coupler is attached to the end of the steam pipes under the coach and supports itself. When in use on a train the coupler is locked by two "eccentrics," but the moment a coach is detached throws attached to these aro moved, and two chains turn two arms which atriko the handles of the steam-cocks on the separating parts of the train, and the ateam in thus automatically shut in tho pipes. Tle Alton Determined to 3Ixlie a 2 -Cent Hte. The officials of the Chicago & Alton, the Atchison, and the Jacksonville Southeastern reads appeared before Chairman Walker f nd Chairman Finler, at Chicago, yeadar morni n g, and presented their arguments for and against the demand of the Alton for authority to sell mileage tickets at the rate of 2 cents a mile. President Hook, of the Jacksonville Southeastern, made a statement to the efi'ect that the outstanding mileage issued by his company would amount in the aggregate to about eighty thousand miles, and that he was ready to do everything in his power to clear the markets of these tickets. General Passenger Agent Charlton replied that even if this were done it would not afiord the Alton the relief it asked for. Ho reminded President Hook that the regular rate between St. Louis and Chicago had been reduced from fc?.50 to 85.75 to meet rates made by scalpers, who were handling Jacksonville Southeartern one-way-unlimited tickets. Great' blocks of these tickets were still on the market, and prevented rates being advanced. Unless tbe&e, as woll aa the mileage tickets, wero called in, andall obstacles to a full restoration of rates removed, Air. Charlton said, the Alton would certainly carry out its intention of making a 2-cent rate for mileage books. This afternoon President Hook agreed to file with Chairman pinley a complete statement of his vagraut tickets, to maintaiu rates in the future, and to do all in his power to relieve themaTketof the cheap mileage tickets. The Altou has consented to wait until tomorrow for Chairman Fin ley's decision on its application for authority to make accent rate on niileago tickets. Tbns far it declares that the Jacksonville Southeastern has made no proposition that it can accept, Tbe Unllmiteil-Tlelict Question. The committees appointed a ahort time ago by tho various traffic associations to consider the expediency of abolishing unlimited tickets will hold a joint meeting in New York, Tuesday. March 17. The chairmen of the several committees are: E. A. Ford, of tho Pennsylvania, representing the Central Trafiio Association; James Charlton, of the Alton, representing the Western Passenger Association; John Febastian. of the Rock Island, representing tho. Transmisouri and Transcontinental associations, and Geo rue B. Daniels, of the New York Central, representing the Trunkline Aweociatioc. Whether the Southern Railway and Steamship Association will send a cominitto to the conference is not yet known. Uutsido of that territory there is known to be great unanimity of , opinion in regard to the abrogation of unlimited ticket, and Western passenger men are generally hopeful that the movement will eventually be successful. Tho question that may give rise to serious discussion will be as to extent to which the limits shall reach, whether they shall provide for a continuous journey only, or extend over a week or a month, and whether the tickets already in stock can be used. 1'ersonal, Local and General Notes. C. II. Cbsppell. general manager of tho Chicago & Alton, who for some weeks has been ill with rheumatinm. has gone to Hot Springs for a mouth's stay. E. B. Thomas, first vice-president of the Eri company, has been elected a director of the Chicago fc Indiana Western road, taking the place of S. M. Felton, jr. John J. Hannahan. vice grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, is dangerously ill at his home in Chicago. He Las a complication of diseases. The Big Four people are now arranging to run their trains into Louisville, commencing April 1. Through coaches will be run from Indianapolis as well aa from Bea

ton Harbor. There will be two connections each way daily between Indianapolis and Louisville. . The Terre Haute & Peoria road, which was so many years uuder a financial cloud, is now one of the promptest to pay its men of any road in Indiana or Illinois. The Peoria & PeRin company held Its annual meeting on Tuesday and elected the old board of directors, and the directors yesterday re-elected Joseph Ramsey, jr., president. The Pennsylvania Company will have its new mterlocking-tower and switches at Mound City, the terminal of its double track west from Columbus, 0., in operation next week. From the number of roads which have resumed the payment of commissions on the sale of tickets it is evident that threatened boycotts" are not eilectual in preventing the practice. A company has been organized which proposes to build a road from Madison, Ind., to a connection with the Ohio & Mississippi road. By one of the proposed lines but fifteen miles of road need be built. The directors of the Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan will hold a meeting next Monday to take into consideration some proposed changes which the stockholders at their annual meeting in April will be asked to act f arorably on. A side track, L700 feet in length, is being laid from the Belt road to an intersection with the east end of the Chicago division of the Big Four, which, when completed, will greatly simplify the transferring of cars from one road to the other. E. H. Beckley, general pas.'ienger agent of the Cincinnati, Wabash fc Michigan, was in the city yesterday. He still claims that the C, W. & M. is an independent road, but it is -becoming highly tinctured with Big Four rales and regulations. Tho business men of Cannelton, Troy and Tell City are demanding from the Mackey management better train service on the Cannelton brancb. taking the position that aid voted to the company which built the road entitle them to better treatment. A special train on Sunday made the run from JetlersouviJle to Indianapolis in two hours and nine minutes, making five stops at railroad crossings and to take water. The distance is one hundred and eight miles, and the train consisted of three cars. Charles Howard has been, elected vicepresident of the New York & New England mad. filling the place made vacant by the death of Vice-president HaskelL Mr. Howard was for years on Western lines, and ince entering the service of the N. Y. fc N. E. as its general manager has made a good record. There is said to be a hitch in the deal tbrongh which the Baltimore & Ohio is to aecure control of tho Pittsburg fc Western. H. W. Oliver, president of the P. & W.. has gone to New York for another conference with the owners of the road. The Baltimore &. Ohio officials are very reticent in giving information as to what the trouble is. Koadmaster Diddle, of (the Big Four's Chicago division, east, has received instructions to put on construction trains and raise what is known as the Lawrenceburg lovee, over which the Big Four trains reach Lawrenceburg and Aurora, five feet. When this isdone the river must rise to sixty-eight feet to make any trouble for the road or for Lawrenceburg. F. G. Kretschmar, who is tho appointed representative of the Interstate-commerce Commission to see that the provisions of the law are observed, was in the city yesterday in conference with SL N. Chambers. United States district attorney. This morning he will go Lafayette to examine into some alleged violations of law at that point, which will come under the head of discrimination. Train 20. east-bonnd over the Pennsylvania lines, in the month of Fobruary, on thirteen days left Indianapolis late, the average delay being nineteen minutes, and but once did the train reach Columbus late. On several occasions this train, which conveys six to seven cars, made the run from Indianapolis to Columbus in four hours and forty-five minutes, and twice in four hours and thirty-eight minutes; distance, 183 miles. Superintendent Miller, of the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines, operated the road in January and February on CG ner cent, of its gross earnings. In the same months in IKK) it required 75 per cent. Superintendent Darlington, of the Indianapolis division of the Pennsylvania lines, operated this division, in January and r ebiQary, on 67 per cent, of the gross earnings. The corresponding months of 1890 it took 76 per cent. With the taking effect of the spring and summer time table, the fastest time ever made by express trains over the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines will be made. One train each way will be scheduled to make the run from Indianapolis to the bridge at Jefisrsonville in two hours and twenty minutes, making but five stops. These trains will be put on to offset the Big Four putting on through trains between Indianapolis and Louisville. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago is nutting in a long side-track at Sheridan, for the Sheridan Brick Company and the new glass-works which are to be erected , there. Tho Monon people expect that these two industries, when well under way, will yield a revenue to the company of at least $4,000 a day. The steam brick-works to be located there will be among the Largest in the Wesr. and when in full operation will have a capacity to manufacture 75,009 bricks every twenty-four hours. The Governor of Missouri has approved a bill requiring every railroad company of 150 miles or more iu length in that State, and which railroad was constructed under a franchise or charter from the State, to have its general offices for the control, operation and management of such railroad located iu the State. The penalty for violating the law is forfeiture of charter. The bill, as it has an emergency clause, is considered purely a Ideal measure to prevent the Missouri, Kansas &. Texas from removing its offices from Sedalia, Ma, to Parsons, Kan.

The employes of the United States Express Company aro considerably exercised over a statement to tho effect that the company intends to make a mammoth collection of the photographs of the men in its employ on the various lines. Already the company has issued an order for all employes holding positions of trust to have their photographs taken, to bo put into the collection. These employes include the messengers, clerks, book-keepers, drivers and all others who handle money or goods. Some of the men look upon it as reflecting ou their integrity, and will probably decline to furnish the photographs as asked. Ten more Michigan Central conductors have been dismissed, making fifteen in all. The Fort Wayne Sentinel investigation revealed the fact that tho discharge of the men was brought about through ''spotters." It is stated that the spotters would hand out a letter in response to the call for tickets, which stated that the bearer was an unfortunate friend, and any courtesy snown muiwoum no a favor to the writer, who was represented to be a conductor or employe on tome other division of the line. The scheme was a Bnccess so far as the spotters were concerned, but disastrous to the conductor who allowed his sympathy for "an unfortunate tellowrailroauer" to lead him to violate one of the company's rules. An Opportunity for Prudes. Kansas Citr Btar. The agitation of the ladles of Philadelphia over the display of the nude at the Academy of Fine Arts recalls the fact that there is a far more serious matter which should first demand their attention. In tho back part of the unabridged dictionaries there is a shocking picture of a nude and transparent man coarsely exhibiting his muscles, arteries and veins. If this isn't a "flagrant indelicacy71 to flaunt before the eyes of innocent children what is! Ueinocrmts Xeert Not Worry. Bt. Paul rioneer Press. Democratic journals need not worry as to what history will say about the speakership of T. Brackett Reed. They are not themselves wnting history, and the hand that will deal finally with the question is probably the hand of a child yet unborn. That hand is sure to inscribe words condemnatory of the Democratio party, whatever it may say about Heed. Republicanism That Wins. New York Press. When we march forward we succeed; when we stand still we lose every time. Republicanism is the standard-bearer of progress on the American continent; tho place for the standard-bearer is in the van. Timid, apologetic Republicanism doesn't pay. Bold, self-asserted, patnotio Republicanism pays and wins.

TEE STATE SCHOOLBEVENUE

Eepublicans Make an Effort to Secure a Jast and Equitable Distribution. , The Democratic Majority Refuses to Right a Long-Standing WrongArgument of 31 r. Honnt in Behalf of the Bill Senate bill No. 172 was called up just before the close of the session and was defeated. This was one of the bills Senator Mount called from the hands of tho committee on education by a resolution. The committee on education desired to smother the hill in committee and intended to refuse to permit a voto to be taken. Pending tho vote, Mr. Mount arose and said that the bill provides for a change in the manner of apportioning the ecbool revenue of the State. This revenue Is derived from the interest on the. common-school fund, which fund amounts to over 67,000,000. To this interest is added tho 16-cent levy and all unclaimed fees and fines. This revenue is now apportioned on the basis of the enumeration of children from six to twenty-one years of age. The Constitution of the State provides for a "uniform system of common schools, wherein tuition shall be free and equally open to all." To carry out the provision of the Constitution, the enumeration basis was adopted. Experience has demonstrated that this basis does not secure to all pupils their rights under the Constitution, nor is it a correct measure of the needs and wants of the various school districts or corporations. The present system is manifestly unequal, unfair and unjust. This bill proposes that the distribution shall be made upon the total average attendance for one hundred days as shown by the teacher's register. It makes strict provisions for the keening of such register, and requires the affidavit of the teacher to tho trustee, and th trustee's affidavit to county superintendent, and by him to the Superintendent ot Public Instruction. . It precludes tho possibility of fraud and distributes tho money honestly. FRAUDULENT ENUMERATIONS. The frauds that have long attended the enumeration plan b&ve been often exposed. State Superintendent Holcombe, in his biennial report for 18S4, page S3, sets forth the demand for a change from the present system to one of enrollment and attendance. Again, in his report for 1885-6, page 197, he reiterates his argument and shows that other States have made the chauge he advocates. State Superintendent LaFollette, in his biennial report 1S67-S, page 15, says: The abnormal disproportion between the enrollment iu cities and country, or, in other words, the enuinervtJon In the country is uniformly honest, and mows about 30 per cent of the population, while in the cities and larger towns the enumeration ranges from 35 to t0 per cent, of the population, and so. as a matter of fact, defrauds the children of the country out of , several nunarea tnousana uouars aunuauy. An investigation of census reports shows the correct per centage of children between six and twenty-one to be about 2tf per cent of the population. We find the enumeration exhibits tho wide and unwarranted range of 24 to CO per cent Comparing our State with other States making enumerations, also reveals the fact that great frauds are practiced under our laws". Arkansas has the same ages enumerateds a our State six to twenty-one and yot enumerates but 27 per cent, of the population; Illinois, six to twenty-one, enumerates 29 per cent.; New York, five to twenty-one (including one more year), enumerates but W per cent, of the population; Vermont enumerates from five to eighteen, two years less than Indiana, and enumerates 18 per cent, of population; while Indiana, from six to twenty-one years, enumerates 85 per cent. of the population. From all sources of information as to the per cent, of population that should be shown in the enumeration, we are forced to the conclusion that our State enumerates from one-fourth to onesixth too many children, and that those portions of the State where the fraud is greatest are robbing other parts of the State of their just rights nnder the Constitution. For several years the county superintendents, in their annual meetings have passed resolutions calling for the change contemplated in this hill. Farmers' Institutes, Granges, Alliances, F. M. B. A.'s. in their meetings, have de manded a change; legislative committees from the three great farm organizations and the three largest labor organizations met in this city during the present session of the General Assembly and presented a memorial, three hnndred copies of which were ordered printed, asking for the chango provided for in this bill. Numerous petitions have been presented asking, the change. The Republican and Democratic platforms promised that tho State should have an honest distribution of the 6chool revenue for tuition. MAKING TUB INJUSTICE PLAIN. Let me briefly summarize the inequality and injustlco now perpetrated. In fortyone cities in this State the enrollment is but 42 per cent, of the enumeration; these cities enjoy tonus of school ranging from eight to ten months, are supplied with efficient, well-paid teachers, and have, in addition, from three to four years of highschool, with high-priced teachers, and for these superior advantages they collect but 17 per cent, of the revenue thus used. Contrast this, if you please, with tho townships of the several counties in which these cities are located, and the argument is conclusive that tho uniformity contemplated in the Constitution is set aside. These several townships enrolled 72 per cent, of tho enumeration (a potent argument that the enumeration in the country wan not excessive); their terms of school ranged from four and one-half to seven months, with cheaper teachers than in the cities, with no privileges of high-school, and still for these meager privileges they collect 40 per cent, of all the tuition to pay for their schools. It was this kind of inequality that led Superintendent La Follette, two years ago, iu an argument placed npon tho desks of members of the Legislature, to say: "Tho present unequal distribution of the State school revenue made it a lasting misfortuno for school privileges to many of the children of the State to be born and reared in their respective school district;!." It was never contemplated in our State Constitutson that the 6chool revenues should be so nnfairly apportioned as to make it a misfortune to be born and reared in any part of our great Commonwealth. Tho increase in the enumeration of children in several cities in the State in the last ten years has been far in excess of the entire increase of population. This is a conclusive and convincing argument against any system that perpetrates such glaring frauds. There are also townships in the State where these frauds are being practiced, as well as in the cities. It is our duty to guard with sacred vigil our common-school system. The permanency and prosperity of all free governments, where tho sovereign power is vested in the people, must depend npon the intelligence of the peoplo. Will you, can yon. in tho face of these facta, refueo to hear these griovances und to right these wrongs! m CULLINGS FROM THE COURTS. Rulings on Demurrers Argued Before Judge Taylor. The case of James T. Layman et ah vs. the Citizens' Street-railway Company, relating to the rapid-transit service to Irvington, was argued yesterday before Judge Taylor on demurrer of defendant to tho complaint. Tho court overruled tho demurrer, which brings the case to issue. Judge Taylor also ruled in the case of Thomas Young vs. Joseph Eastman et al., damages for malpractice, which also forces this cause to issue. Tho defense set up in demurrer that the person with whom the malpractice is alleged to have been commited lived more than a year and a day after the occurrence, and. therefore, did not die by fault of defendants. The old English common law, which held this , a sufficient answer in such cases, was cited in support of the demurrer for the first time in Judge Taylor's court But the Judge held that statutory law has supplanted the common

law in the case, and overruled the defense. The same judge also made a finding in the case of Sample Loftin vs. John E. Sullivan et ah, to set aside a conveyance and make property subject to judgment. The conveyance to Sullivan's wife having been made, the court held, while Sullivan was insolvent, it is fraudulent and void, and the plaintiff is rendered incapable of bringing suit against tho estate to make it subject to judgment. The court ruled that the suit not having been begun prior to the voluntary assignment, the right to sue lies solely in the assignee. . Would Not Recognize Her Father.

Judge Harper yesterday heard the habeas corpus petition brought by Philip Barnhart against William Haynes and wife for possession of plaint ill's child, a girl about eleven years old. The testimony showed that the father, after a second marriage eight years ago. placed the child in the care ot the defendants, promising to pay $1.50 per week for her care. He paid $l6 in all during the eight years, and left the child in undisputed possession of tho Haynes all that time. The defendants testified that they had informed the plaintiff that he might take her.if he paid what was due, but that having cared for her through eight years, and becoming attached to her they would not otherwise give her up. The girl was iu court and manifested a keen interest in the proceedings. When the court decided that sha might remain with tbellayneses, she en braced them, but offered no recognition to her father. Notes from the Dockets. Griffin Bradley, of Noblesville. was given a preliminary hearing yesterday before United States Commissioner Moores on a charge of violating the pension law. Samuel Patterson was yesterday fined by 'Squire Martin, of Hanghville, 50, with costs, for cruelty to animals in refusing to give his horse sufficient food. The prosecution was brought by the Indiana Humane Society. In the case of the Indianapolis Cable Street-railroad Company against the Citizens' Street-railroad Company the Supreme Court yesterday refused to grant a rehearing. This was the suit in which the point at issue was the exclusive right of defendants to occupy the streets of this city with tracks. The Court Record. 6UPKI2ME COURT DECISIONS. No. 147G6. Lewellyn J.

The appellant's contention cannot prevail. While it is truetbat some isolated words and sentences in the original complaint seem to sustain the position assumed by appellant, the amended complaint proceeds upon the theory that the work done by the appellee was done pursuant to'a determination to construct one continuous lino over the streets named.

THE APPELLATE JUDGES. Governor Horey ' Selection of Men to Fill the Bench of the Newly Established Court

The Appellate Court provided for by the recently-enacted law is to be composed of the following gentlemen, whose appointments Governor Ho vey made public yesterday: 'First District Judge George L. Relnhard, TiAmfiP.rnt- linrlrnnrt- ftwnptr count V. Second-Judge Jeptha 1). New, Democrat, Norti Vernon, Jennings county. , Third James 13. Black, Republican, Indianapolis. Fourth-Milton 8. Robinson, Republican, Anderson, Madison county. , Fifth-Edgar D. Crumpacker. Republican, Valparaiso, J'orter county. Judge Reinhard, who will represent the First district, is a native of Bavaria, but came to this country when a lad of fourteen years. For four years ho worked in a wheel manufactory at Cincinnati, attending school when he could do so. At the end of that time he came to Union county, this State, enlisting bbortly after in Company I, Sixteenth Indiana Volunteers, and served over three years. On his return from the war he resumed his studies in the Cincinnati schools, afterward attending Miami University at Oxford. O. After a year's study of law he was admitted to practice at Owensboro, Ky., and in 1870 moved to Rockport, Ind., where he has since resided. He held the office of prosecuting attorney two terms, and for four years past has been judge of the first judicial circuit Warrick and Spencer counties. He is the author of "Reinbard's Indiana Criminal Law." Judge Reinhard is forty-seven years old. Judge New, who will represent the Second district, is a native of the Hoosier State, having been born at Vernon, Jennings county. He received his education at a seminary in Vernon and at Bethany College, Virginia. In 1856 he began the practice of law at Franklin, in partnership with ex-Attorney-general Woollen, but a year later returned to Vernon, lie was elected, successively, prosecuting attorney, judge of the Common Pleas Court, and Congressman.

Mr. E. H. Sothern will be greeted by a fine opening house at the Grand to-night. His late father was always enthusiastically welcomed to this city, and it almost seems as if the sire, in giving to the son the heritage of his ability, Lad also transmitted to him the wonderful meed of popularity which he had earned, for the present Sothern has hosts of well-wishers wherever he goes. He undoubtedly deserves them, for, through ambition, hard work and conscientious study he has forged ahead rapidly. His excellent attributes, both as actor and man. have rendered him worthy the good opinions with which he , has been greeted, and it is safe to predict that his "Maister of Woodbarrow" will be witnessed here by large audiences. Mr. Sothern brings with him here the New York Lyceum Theater scenery auA properties, as well as the company from that house, including Rowland Buckstone, Owen Fawcett, Morton 8elton, Kate Pattison Selton, Virginia Harned, Jennie Dunbar and others.
