JOHN' CIICSIIOIlOLdll WILL LEAVH TIIC VAX D ALIA HO A I). Offlclnl of the I., L. t C. nUcourasfetl Over the Proxprcfs of Securing an Entrance to Inllnnnpoll. The report is confirmed that John Che-s-borough, assistant general passenger agent of the Vandalia. is to take service with the IUitimore & Ohio. So long has Mr. Chesborough been with the Vandalia that he was thought to be a fixture, and it is considered that the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern has ecored a point in securing him as successor to O. P. MoCarty as general passenger agent. Mr. McCarty retires on the 10th, and on that date Mr. Chesborough will take -the position. In his present position his salary Is $3,500; in the position he takes It will be .000 per annum. There are but few men who stand higher In passenger circles than does Mr. Chesborough. Amiable In his manner and a hard worker, whatever he says can be depended on. Of late years he has been called to aid in arbitrating pome ugly questions which have come up between roads, ami his decisions have Invariably been Just and satisfactory. Who will succeed Mr. Chesborough on the Vandalia Is not settled, further than that the position will be fill fy the promotion of a man l the emplo jf the Fennsylva-nla-Vandaba interest. IJIncournKlnfc for the I., L. & C. Said an ollicial of the Indianapolis, Loeransport & Chicago yesterday: "Well, this Id rather discouraging. Our project has hung fire here with the Board of Fubllc Works for three months, in which time our road would have been well advanced in its construction, and the principal oppo sition comes from two or three persons who own property on West Washington street, where rooms let at lower rent than do business rooms a mile from Washington street." At this Juncture one cf the opponents of the building of the road came up and asked sneeringly, "How are you getting along with yJur railroad?" adding that Indianapolis did not need this road any more than a wagon needs a fifth wheel; besides, it Is a scheme of the Pennsylvania road to get a line from Chicago in here." At this the oflicial of the I., L. & C. asked how much ho would bet such was the case, and the objector answered, "A thousand dollars." "All right," said the ollicial; "I will take this bet: come right into one of the banks here and make out your check." At this the opponent of the road walked away, remarking, "I was only Joking." After he had gone the official said to the Journal reporter: "I could surprise you were I to tell you what has been done by another Indianapolis road or its agents to keep our road out of Indianapolis. Some day it will come out, and. the citizens of Indianapolis will be very indignant that our enterprise has been held back In the manner it has." (luentlon of Illworlmlnut Ion. E. I. Iiipley, third vice president of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road, made depositions yesterday in the suit which has beea Instituted by the Cincinnati ami Chicago freight bureaus against the Louisville ; Nashville road for ignoring the order of the Interstate-commerce Commission directing the Southern roads to reduce their rates so aa to equalize those between points in the East and points in the South with those between Chicago, and Cincinnati and similar points. Shippers in the latter places declare that the rates now In effect are prohibitive against them. Thougn they are much nearer points In the South than are the Eastern cities, they cannot do business with them because of the inequality in rates. The contention has been kept up for years, but recently the Interstate-commerce Commission made a ruling in favor of Chicago. This the roads proposed to ignore, but the freight bureaus got out an Injunction to prevent them doing so. It was issued by Judere Taft, of Cincinnati, but was afterwards dissolved by Judge Lurton, of Louisville, who decided that the whole case must be heard on its merits. It was thought that the Queen & Crescent road, which is now in the hands of a receiver appointed by Judge Taft, would obey the order of vhe commission, and thus comiel its competitors to do likewise, but wiien the m?if.'i was laid before Judge Taft he decided that the Queen & Crescent should charge the same rate rs the other roads. The final hearing of the case will take place if. Louisville in October. Lake Shore nntl llltr Fonr "Win. Judge Noble, sitting in the Court of Common Pleas at Cleveland, rendered a decision yesterday against the city and In favor of "the Lake Shore and Big Four railroads In the celebrated Cleveland lake front case. The property In controversy Is a large tract of land lying between the lake front and old river bed. and involves several millions of dollars. The city brought suit ajralnst the railways to recover the prterty, claiming that they were occupying streets laid out and accepted by the city fifty years a?o. Judge Noble, In a Ipnsrthy review of the case, decides that while the city had orce accepted the streets, they had .been abandoned as such many years ago, and no attempt Whatever has been made to maintain them. At the conclusion of Judge Noble's decision the city solicitor Immediately gave notice of appeal, and the case will be carried to the Supreme Court. Freight Ilnten to He Iteslored. No doubt is entertained that the general managers of all the rail routes east,' from Chicago will order a restoration of .'all freight rates at their meeting on Friday, and it is believed trouble will end for the season. The cause thereof has been removed by the agreement of the lake lines to restore rates and maintain them for the remainder of the naviiration season. It Is understood that they have agreed upon the formation of a pool to divide all through business from Lake Michigan and Iake Superior points to the seaboard. With lake rates steadllv maintained the all-rail routes will have little difficulty among themselves in following a like course. . Left to the General Manner. The regular bimonthly meeting of the passenger department of the Central Traffic Association was held at Chicago yesterday. Only routine business, such as the granting of reduced rates for various meetings, was attended to.

There has been a little friction between the Panhandle company and the Irvington authorities, and now, to get even with the road, the authorities propose to require its trains and those of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton to slow down to six miles an hour running through Irvington. The C, II. & D. runs through a farming coun try, and the officials are at their wits end to understand why they should be included In such an ordinance, if passed by the Irvington authorities. 'The reports sent East by some of the prominent railway presidents to the effect that ruin threatens Western roads, and hat the railroads will see their rails rust for want of traffic, should be taken with a good deal of allowance," said a railroad expert: "Investigation would probably show that they were short of stock or trying to gather In some road at a very low fig ure. Much more good would be accomplished If the same presidents would take a more cheerful view of matters, as does President Ingalls. of the Big Four, and Vice lYesldent McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines."

UNION RAILWAY CASE

ahgimi:.t ix sriT to i:joix tub COLLECTION OF TA.ES. Company Attorney Deny might of State Hoard to Assess the Tracks of the Corporation. Judge G. It. Reinhard heard the statements of the attorneys in the cause of the Union Railway Company against Sterling R. Holt, county treasurer, yesterday. The case came up in the Circuit Court, where the entire day was spent In hearing the statements of A. C. Harris, for the railway company, and A. G. Smith, for the State, The case will be taken up again today at the Statehouse at the request of Judge Brown, who desires to go on with the routine business of the Circuit Court. In the Union Railway case the company is represented by A. C. Harris, S. O. Pickens arid Baker & Daniels. Attorney-general Smith Is assisted by Leon Bailey, W. A. Ketcham and Albert J. Beveridge. A. C. Harris, for the railway company, opened the case yesterday morning, and continued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He began by reviewing the birth and subsequent existence of the Union Railway Company. Four or five railroads, he said, built the Union railway In 1853 with a desire to serve the public, and for twenty years, although not incorporated, maintained the old Union depot under an act passed for their benefit. TraJIic Increased, and in 1875 ten railroads entered the city. Then people living on the South Side objected so strongly to crossing the tracks that during, the latter part of 1875, the Legislature amended the manufacturers and mining act so that companies might Incorporate as union stock yards and transit companies. Then the railroad known as the Bwlt was built around the city. This plan, continued the attorney, did not pay; it did not afford tha relief desired by the public, and the Legislature passed an act for the incorporation of the Union Railway Company, and provided that existing Union railway companies could reap the benefits of its provisions by filing a certificate of their election so to do. Mr. Harris quoted numerous authorities in substantiation of his contention that the Union Railway Company is not liable to taxation by the State board, and contended that this body had not the power to tax all railroad tracks. Nearly all large manufacturing establishments, he held, owned a mile or more of track that could not be assessed by any State board. He Insisted that the Indianapolis Union railway, like all union railway companies, is confined to one county. They , are under the eye of the local oiflcials, and do not come within the scope of power exercised by State tax boards. Mr. Harris showed that the two tracks of the company are assessed at $2,000,000, which is a figure far In excess of the taxation Imposed upon any other railway in the country. lie maintained that the property of the company Is not worth over IJ.OOU.OOO, while the defendant alleges that the property is assessed at over $6,000,000. Attorney-general Smith followed Mr. Harris, and tooK tne remainder of the afternoon. He asserted that in no previous instance had the Indianapolis Union railway ever disputed the jurisdiction of the State tax board, although the company nad beenheard through its representatives year a-' ter year, lie contended that never before had the company asked that its property be assessed by the local board. The Attorney-general held that the company controlled nearly twelve miles of railroad, and that from the nature of its corporate organization it came within the law in the same light as any other road in the State. The Attorney-general further held thf.t evidence as to the value of the property should not be admitted by the court unless it was charged that the assessments had been made by fraud or corruption. He was. confident that the jniwer to reverse values did not belong to the courts, beeause the State board was a creation of the Legislature, and unless the board's proceedings' had been Influenced by fraud or corruption they were conclusive. The Supreme Court of Indiana, he declared, had decided that fraud was not sufficiently charged to enable the hearing of any testimony by the court as to the manner or mental processes by which the State board had arrived at its conclusions. The Attorney-general Insisted that the charge of fraud made in the complaint should not receive support by the court because specific acts were not set out. Striker Cases To-Morrou. The strikers who violated the federal court injunction during the recent strike trouble, and who were arrested on that account, are to have their hearings before Judge Baker, commencing to-morrow. Those in jail wilf be tried first. Several of those out on bond were at the United States marshal's office yesterday, and intimated that th?y would plead guilty and throw themselves on the clemency of the court. B. F. Ingalls, the Detroit railroad man, who was in Jail here Tuesday night for contempt of court, was taken to that city by Deputy United States Marshal Agnew yesterday to answer the charge. Sent to the Grand Jury. John Hardin, Oscar Schaub and Emanuel Craig, the three boys arrested last week charged with a number of burglaries and petty thieving in the V.'est End, were bound over to the grand jury by Judge Stubbs yesterday. Charles Mills, John Kindly, John Powers, Frank Alberts, Geo. Weber and Henry Smith, boys who were arrested at the same time, charged with associating with thieves, were discharged. Malaohi Collins was fined $10 and costs for selling liquor on Sunday. II. 8. Blue's Case Asaln In Court. The damage suit of II. S. Blue against the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, which was thrown out of Room L Superior Court, last spring, is up again in Room 3. Blue, the plaintiff, wa's injured by an electric car on the viaduct last winter. He filed suit 'or $10,000 in the Superior Court and the case was begun. At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Winters declared that the plaintiff had no case and dismissed the Jury. The suit was at once refiled In Room 3. Away for Twenty-Six Years. Matilda Rlchwine seeks a divorce from Andrew Rlchwine, to whom she was married at Clrcleville, O., In 1844. In 1SG3 she claims that her husband deserted her without cause, leaving her with eight children unprovided for. The defendant, she shows, remained away from his family for twentysix years, and now demands one-third of the property accumulated by her eldest son, and recently deeded to her. Before the Honeymoon AVas Over. Tessie .Hughes filed a complaint against her husband, Charles Hughes, yesterday, alleging cruelty and failure to provide. She says that she married Hughes but little more than a year ago. and since then has suffered from brutal kicks and cunes. Prior to leaving her home, a month ago, she avers that Hughes locked her out of the house and refused to allow her to enter her on room. For Stenllns Chickens.
