The annual meeting of the Central Association of Congregational Churches and Ministers of Indiana was opened yesterday at Fellowship Church. Nineteen churches belong to the association. Delegates from two-thirds of that number were present. At the business hour Rev. C. 11. Percival, of Terre Haute, was chosen moderator, Rev. F. M. Whitlock registrar, and Rev. W. K. Miller scribe. Various committee were appointed for the routine business of the meeting. The devotional exercises were led by Moderator Percival. The afternoon session began the regular exercises of the convention. Prof. W. A. Bell read a paper on ‘ The Preacher in the Pulpit," in which he outlined what he considered necessary qualifications for a good preacher. The second paper of the afternoon was by Police Judge C. E. Cox, on "Men and Missionary Work.” Judge Cox's talk was on the line of personal influence and the way one can help others in business and professional life. Judge Cox mentioned Mr. \\ illiam N. Jackson and the late O. C. McCulloch as true missionaries. The subject was discussed by Dr. Curtis, Mr. W. V. Wheeler, L. F. Purdue. The latter then gave a talk on "A Layman's View of the Sunday School Problem,” and this in turn was followed by a discussion. East evening Rev. Mr. Whitlock, pastor of the Fellowship Church, gave an address of welcome to the members and visitors. There was a short song service, and the sermon was delivered by Rev. C. H. Percival, of Terre Haute. A much larger attendance 1a expected today as numbers will come in from other ..places, ar.d the women will hold their annual missionary meeting. Mrs. Cheney, of Anderson, and Mrs. Palmer, two women well known for their missionary work, will be present. Rev. E. D. Curtis, D. D., will give the principal address of the morning •essioff at 10:15 o’clock. A “Plekannlny" Concert at Bt. Pnnl’e. A large audience gathered at St. Paul’s parish liouse lust night to hear a "pickaninny" concert by members of the church choir. A sheet of canvas with sunflowers painted on it was hung up and the singers, made up us colored boys, thrust their faces through the heads of the flowers. All the popular "coon” songs of the day were sung. A trio of colored men played several selections. which were well received. • Carl Iloenlg and Miss Jessie M. Hailey sang a duet. Rev.' Mr. Sherman Coolidge, an Episcopal Indian ministtr, gave a short talk on some of his hunting experiences. Euler refreshments were served.

THE PASSENGER SERVICE ALL LINES SHOW INCREASED EARNINGS FROM THIS SOURCE. The Crnsade Against Scalpers—North-and-South Linen to Increase the Speed of Pusnengcr Trains. It is gratifying to the passenger officials to note that on all the important lines the revenue from their business is increasing with each month and that the remark will apply to local as well as through business. During the summer months through travel was very satisfactory, while local business was disappointing, but in the last sixty days local business has shown a decided improvement. The low-rate excursions are better patronized than was ever before know-n, say observing passenger men. J. Q. Van Winkle, general superintendent of the Big Four lines, states that in the last sixty days the passenger earnings have been ranging from 7 to 8 per cent, in excess of those of September and October last year. B. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, reports a handsome increase in passenger earnings. O. P. McCarty, general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, is much elated over the handsome business that line is now doing. C. G. Waldo, general manager of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, states that their passenger business was never more satisfactory, and the increase in revenue from that source is proportionately as great as from the freight service. General Passenger Agent Daly, of the Lake Erie & Western, says the travel over their lines is again at its normal volume, especially in local travel, which is the Lake Erie & Western's best revenue earner, is th3 improvement highly satisfactory. In speaking of the improvement a passenger official said yesterday that no point had shown a handsomer increase in passenger business than had Indianauolis in the last few months, and Daniel Donough, general ticket agent at the Union Station, confirms the statement. Since the year 1893, the year of the world's fair at Chicago, passenger business has been tight, until July of tuts year, since which time there has been a steady improvement until eight out of ten of the roads are receiving as much revenue from the passenger service as at any period in their history. "There is one Question yet unsettled," said a passenger official, "and that is whether the running of so many cheap excursions has been of the best advantage to the roads, especially in the case between Indianapolis and Cincinnati. Every Sunday one of the lines has run an excursion alternately between the two cities, until people have come to take advantage of it to go down on Sunday, sell the return part of the ticket and come back the next Sunday on another ticket at the cheap rate.” He said that possibly the extent to which this practice had been carried was overestimated, but he thought were there less regularity in running these cheap excursions between cities this objection would be largely overcome, as people could not then plan to make long visits and stiil have the benefit of the low rate. Still Pushing; the Fight. George Daniels continues his vigorous crusade against the ticket scalpers, and has written a letter summarizing the arguments against the ticket brokerage business. He quotes the very explicit notice given by the New York Central offering to redeem unused tickets, and states tiiat a notice of this kind has been on the advertisements of the road tor the last seven years. The Central redeems about a hundred tickets a day, averaging about $1.50 in value. Mr. Daniels also assures his readers that every railroad of consequence in the country is equally free in making redemptions. He sends a copy of the New York law by which railroads are required to redeem unused tickets under a SSO penalty; extracts from the Interstate-commerce Commission denouncing scalping; a copy of the report of the congressional committee recommending the passage of an antiscalper bill; testimony given by ticket scalpers before the Supreme Court of New Y’ork in February, 1537, concerning stolen tickets handled by scalpers in Buffalo, New York and Chicago; laws of ten States forbidding the sale of tickets except by the authorized agents; the law of the Dominion of Canada on the subject; House Bill 30, amending the interstate-commerce act (this is the same as the New York anti-scalper bill); a resolution against scalpers passed by the railroad commissoners’ convention hold in St. Louis in May, 1897; a list of 296 newspapers which have published editorials urging the passage of anti-scalping bills; a copy of the opinion of Judge Clark, of Tennessee, who issued an injunction against the ticket scalpers of Nashville; a circular sent by the New York Central Sept. 14 last to all ticket brokers over the country offering to redeem all unused tickets sold before Sept. 1 by whomsoever presented; a report of the imprisonment of William A. bums, a ticket former, now in the Auburn, N. Y., prison; evidence concerning stolen tickets used by scalpers, and finally a report of the imprisonment of two ticket scalpers under the new law of New Jersey at Atlantic City, N. J., a few weeks ago. These men were sentenced to both fine and imprisonment. A test case against a New York broker is now pending before the state courts.

To Make Faster Time, The Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Evansville & Terie Haute have, during the past summer, expended a good deal of money' on their tracks, preparatory to doing some fast running to accommodate the winter resort travel to Southern points. The passenger officials of these lines claim to have the short route, and the officials of the E & T. H. have decided the service can yet be made better and to that end have entered upon the task of arranging for faster time between Chicago and Evansville. The schedule of the fast trains has been ordinarily fast, but since the Nashville exposition has been on the road has felt the necessity for more speed. The road has some of the best engines in the railroad service, but to get more speed out of them for hauling the heavy through trains three of them have been sent to the shops to have new' drivers put on. No. 98. one of the big Baldwins, has already been equipped with large-r wheels. When she came in yesterday with the Nashville tram she was running on drivers six feet two inches in height. The other three engines in the shops will be lilted out in like manner and placed in service. Dispute to Be Arbitrated. The Western roads and the Southern Pacfic have Anally decided to submit their differences regarding immigrant business to arbitration. The matter has been hanging fire for three years and has been the source for nearly all of the demoralization that has existed in immigrant rates. A meeting was held two years since between the Southern Pacific and the roads which were members of the emigrant clearing house in New York over the percentage of California business that should be allowed to the Southern Pacific. It demanded 50 per cent, of all the business and the other roads would not allow it over 30 per cent. Arbitration was proposid, but the Southern Pat'l tic could not see its way clear to the settlement of the difficulty in this manner, and the old trouble went on. Now it has been arranged that the matter shall be settled by arbitration, and it is understood that in the arbitration the Southern Pacific is to receive not less than 25 per cent, nor more than 30 per cent. The board of arbitrators will be composed of one member selected by each party to the arbitration, and the third to be selected by the first two. Export Flour Rutes Sluahed. Export Hour rates from the Northwest to the Atlantic seaboard were restored Monday', but went to pieces again yesterday. The Soo line is again blamed, for, notwithstanding tlie agreement reached less than two weeks ago at St. Paul that the rate should be advanced to 2a cents on Oct. 25, that line has issued a tariff making the rate on export flour 20 cents. This tariff becomes effective Thursday'. Chieago-St. Paul lines did not learn of the new schedule until yesterday, when It was agreed to meet the competition. Their tariff will become effective Oct. 30. The rate on flour for domestic consumption will remain at 25 cents. Colorado Midland Itenrgunlied. The reorganization of the Colorado Midland Railway Company wa rormally completed at New York y'esterday. George W, Riatine, formerly receiver of the road, was

elected president and a full board of directors was elected. The meeting of bondholders then adjourned to Thursday, when it is believed some of the members of the board of directors will be replaced by representatives of the German interests in the road. The directors elected arc; F. P. Olcott, B. Aymar Sands, J. N. Jarvie, C. F. Ayer, G. Sterman, E. F. Hyde, J. N. Wallace, G. Bertine, G. W. Ristine, H. T. Rogers and S. B. Johnson. The Pa** Agreement, The annual meeting of the executive officers of the Western and Southwestern lines, parties to the pass agreement, was held in St. Louis yesterday. The agreement of Nov. 10, 1896, was reaffirmed for the coming year. At the last annual meeting a proposition was made to assess penalties for the violation of the agreement, but action was deferred at that meeting, and again yesterday no action was taken on it. The managers took the ground that the pass agreement was founded upon good faith, and the penalty clause under the present conditions would not add to its strength. It was agreed that full mileage and not half the regular fare should be alfor the regular use of cars by the car ferry lines on and after Jan. 1, 1898. A Good Word for the Monon. Boston Advertiser. The reorganized New Albany is presenting earnings which give promise of returning substantial interest and dividends on the new securities. The net earnings of the company for the twm months of its new fiscal year—July and August—were $216,1U4, an increase of about $70,000 over the same period in 1896. Fixed interest charges for this period ahead of the preferred stock amount to $159,859, or a surplus for the preferred stock of $56,859. Four per cent, on the preferred stock outstanding only calls for $25,890 for these two months. Personal, Local and General Notes. President Porter, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, is spending the week at the Nashville exposition. Frank Robbins, until recently Southern passenger agent of the Big Four, was buried at Louisville, Ky„ yesterday. An official of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy states that the gross earnings of this month will be fully $1,000,000 in excess of those of October, 1896. The Vandalia has in the last eighteen months soid fifteen of its light engines, built in the days when the Terre Haute and Indianapolis business required only light engines. The first three weeks of this month the loaded-car movement over the Big Four lines proper was just 20 per cent, heavier than the corresponding twenty-one days of October, 1896. E. O. McCormick, passenger traffic manager of the Big Four lines, who is to be married to-morrow, will, on his wedding trip, visit Quebec and other points of interest in that section. John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania's Southwestern system, is this week, with General Manager Loree, inspecting the lines in the Northwestern system of the Pennsylvania. It is stated that the Lake Shore has under contemplation the putting on of four new vestibule trains complete between New York and Chicago, which will surpass any in elegance now on that road. The Detroit & Lima Northern, a Brice line, has filed at Detroit a mortgage for the issue of $2,000,000 of bonds, the money to be used in securing right of way and acquiring suitable terminal facilities at Detroit Commissioner Donald, of the Central Passenger Association, has advised that it is optional with the purchaser of the new interchangeable mileage whether he signs the mileage strip with pen and ink or an indellible pencil. R. J. Reece, now in service on the Fitchburg road, is visiting friends in the western part of the State. Mr. Reece was on the Illinois Midland when R. G. Hei vey was its president, and with L. Genni: when recedver of that road. The meeting of the lines of the Western Passenger Association wfith the Union Pacific over the question of the withdrawal of commissions on north Pacific coast business and kindred matters has been set tor Thursday of this week. As time goes on superintendents of motive power are less inclined to the advisability of extremely long runs for locomotives. The engines in such service too often get out of order in some part, such as the air brakes, hot boxes, etc. The stockholders of the Big Four will hold their annual meeting at Cincinnati today. Most of the voting will be done by proxy. The annual report of President Ingalls will be presented. Its essential parts have already been printed in the papers. President Calloway, of the Lake Shore Railway, said yesterday that his company would fight to the end the 2-cent mileage bill enacted by the Michigan Legislature. He declares that it is unconstitutional, and that the Legislature has transcended its powers. Charles W. Smith yesterday succeeded F. H. Houghton as agent of the Traders’ Dispatch at Columbus. He will be also contracting agent of the Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking. Mr. Houghton goes to Pittsburg to represent the Nickel-plate fast freight line.

The Chicago Stock Yards Company has more than $1,000,000 in cash in its treasury and wifi pay for the Hammond Belt road out of its treasury and issue no securities. It is stated that the Chicago stock yards have earned 14 per cent, per annum on the stock since incorporated. W. C. Arp, superintendent of motive power of the Vandalia lines, who has been confined to the house for eight weeks with rheumatic troubles, was abte yesterday to visit his office for a short time. He is arranging his affairs to spend a month at Hot Springs, Ark. The traffic managers of the Ohio coal roads find themselves unable to agree on maintenance of uniform rates for coal shipments from the mines to Detroit and other Alichigan points, and the whole matter has been turned over to the court of highest appeal, the executice officers. Visitors to the office of O. P. McCarty general passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, will find D. H. Townsend at the desk as his chief clerk, he taking charge yesterday. The selection of Air. Townsend for that position meets with the hearty approval of the passenger fraternity. Parker M. Seymour, contracting freight agent of the Baltimore & Ohio lines at Columbus, 0., will retire from that position Nov. 1, and as an economical measure the position will be abolished. On the first of next month fully one dozen freight solicitors on the Baltimore & Ohio are to be dropped. The interchangeable mileage ticket bureau of the Western Passenger Association held a short meeting in Chicago yesterday for the purpose of settling some routine matters prior to putting their tickets on the market. It has been settled that the tickets will bo placed on sale by the middle of next month. In accordance with the provisions of a resolution adopted by the managers of the Joint Traffic Association the reconsignment of east-bound shipments of California fruits shall be permissible under such terms and conditions as the individual railway companies parties to the Joint Traffic Association may establish. Greensburg has become a very important point on the Cincinnati division of the Big Four. The company Is extending its side tracks at that point and when the new yard is completed there will be about six miles of side track it Greensburg, and for quite a distance so constructed as to answer as a double track. The Big Four is negotiating with Barney, Smith & Cos. for two new parlor ears and anew dining car. Os the jatter the company has no extra car, but as soon as this is in service the other dining cars on the Big Four are to be placed in the shops for a general overhauling. The pew equipment wifi be of the highest standard. The Big Four is delivering eight carloads of stee! rails, shipped from Johnstown, Pa., to the Union Traction Company, which is to build the electric line from Alarion to Anderson. and seventy-one carloads more are now coming over the Panhandle for this line. Everything is in readiness to lay the track between Anderson and Alexandria. The Wabash management has for the present given up the idea of purchasing twenty new engines on which it asked bids. Some will be built at their own shops, as usual every year, and those built at their shops under the plans and specifications of Superintendent of Afotive Power Barnes have proven to be very superior locomotive*. The net earnings of the Atchison system for the month of September were $1,065,179, an increase of $182,301 over the same month of last year. For the three months of the fiscal year to Sept. 30 Iha net earnings of the system have been $2,451,217, an Increase of $262,686 over the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year. An attempt was made at Evansville to garnishee the wages of Mace Boyd, employed on the Evansville <fc Terre Haute, on a claim for $25. The proceedings were filed under the new legislative enactment prescribing that a single man is not entitled to exemption. The court held that the law was unconstitutional and the proceedings failed. Frank Wade, city passenger agent of the Cincinnati, Humfiton & Dayton and the

Monon fines, has in his possession a ticket purchased from Cincinnati to Peru over the Big Four and the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago lines Dec. 1, 1875. "Good until used” is the simple wording on the ticket. M. B. Kennedy was then general passenger agent of the Big Four Mr. Vauclain. of the Baldwin locomotive works, Philadelphia, spent two or three days in Cincinnati in going over the motor car which his company recently built for the C., H. & D. Traction Company. On the trial run some very satisfactory records w'ero made, the speed running up as high as forty miles an hour, pulling a loaded trailer weighing over 35.000 pounds, which is the estimated equivalent of a car and eighty passengers. Some parts of the machinery are absolutely novel. Mr. Vauclain has taken memoranda of some suggested changes, which will add to the effectiveness of the motor and make it as nearly noiseless as possible. There is considerable friction between the Baltimore & Ohio and the Chesapeake & Ohio passenger departments. The Baltimore & Ohio claims the right to accept for passage to New York on the Royal Blue line the interchangeable mileage tickets recently adopted for general use by lines In the Central Traffic Association territory. Now the Chesapeake & Ohio wants the same privilege for its New York trains which run between Cleveland and New York over the Chesapeake & Ohio, and from Washington over the Pennsylvania. The trouble over the matter is increasing, and it is an ugly problem to solve, as were these two lines allow'ed to use this mileage other lines will be pressing their claims in that direction. So apt is the traveling public to speak derisively of the sleeping and parlor car companies and their accommodations that the following commendation for this branch of the railroad service, from a Buffalo paper will be appreciated by those who enjoy the comforts that are afforded by this branch of the service. "The Pullman parlor and sleeping car service has been called a "leech” that drains the life-blood of the railway companies it fastens upon. This loose talk has no justification in fact. The sleeping car service in this country, which is either Pullman or Wagner, substantially, is not only by fur the best in the world, but? also decidedly the cheapest. In other countries the railroad companies use their own cars, but the service is exorbitantly expensive and exasperatingly unsatisfactory to the fleeced traveler. Many companies In the United States have tried building and managing their own “sleepers” and have gone back to the Pullmans or Wagners because it was more economical to hire the cars as they wanted them than to keep on hand a stock big enough for all emergencies.”

REV. MR. POUNDS WILLGO CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH HOARD ACCEPTS HIS RESIGNATION. Pastor May Make a Public Statement of tlie Affair Later—His Numerous Offers. The congregation of Central Christian Church, by the vote of its official board, has decided to accept the resignation of Rev. John E. Pounds, which was tendered the board about five weeks ago. The final action on Mr. Pounds’s resignation was taken last night at a meeting of the board held in the church. John S. Duncan presided. The session was prolonged, and no one was present except those who were acting in an official capacity. Mr. Pounds’s relations to the church were discussed at length, but the vote which finally determined the matter was not unanimous. A majority of the members appeared tQ be of the opinion that it was unfair to Mr. Pounds to delay the matter longer, while some others thought definite action should be postponed until next Sunday. One member was emphatic in the assertion that Air. Pounds should be permitted to resign at once, so that he could accept some of the numerous calls that have been extended him. A member of the board who appeared to favor the resignation of Air. Pounds, declared that he had heard enough in the meeting to convince hirp that the pastor could not again have the full cooperation of the mcmfcfijs of the church. It is alleged that another member of the board said that while he had remarked to a brother member that Mr. Pounds’s sermons were growing somewhat insipid, ho had at the same time declared that he was in favor of majority rule in the church, and would willingly abide by the wish of the majority. It was urged that the Central Christian Church could not afford to have more dissatisfaction in this .direction, and whether Air. Pounds left the church or remained, the pastor must have the loyal support of every member. Finally a resolution was offered and read, to the effect that the resignation of Air. Pounds should be accepted. The resolutions provided for a committee of three to confer with Air. Pounds, and ascertain his feelings in regard to when he cared to give up the work here. On this committee was appointed Dr. W. V. Alorgan, B. B. Cole and J. R. Ryan. This committee will officially announce the action of the board to Mr. Pounds. The full text of the pastor's resignation, the board declined to make public. It is understood the resignation simply stated that Mr. Pounds desired to give up the pastorate for reasons which were mutually understood. When officially informed last night of the board’s action, the pastor declined to discuss tils relations with the church. He said that he might later on make a statement to the people of the city, but he was not sure. "The reasons for my resignation are well understood by the congregation,” he said, "and I can’t go into a discussion of them now. In the main they are trivial things that are likely to arise in any church. I would much prefer that anything in the way of an explanation to the public be made by the official board of the church.” Air. Pounds came to the Central Christian Church two years ago, from Cleveland, O. He has been in the ministry for nine years. He is thirty-three years of age. In the last few r weeks he has rceivecJ a call from the Christian Church at Springfield, 111., and has received letters from Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and New York, inquiring whether, in the event of his retirement from the pulpit of the Central Christian Church, he would be willing to take up the work in either of these cities. From New York recently came an intimation that Mr. Pounds would be welcomed to the West Fifty-six th-street Church of that city. Membeis of the Walnut-street Church, of Cincinnati, and the Main-street Church, of Columbus, have also written him. The members of the official board of the Central Christian Church say they have no one In mind at this time to fill the place soon to be vacated by Air. Pounds. Death of Mrs. Winston I*. Noble. Mrs. Alary Harvey Noble, wife of Mr. Winston P. Noble, died yesterday morning, at her home, on North New Jersey street. Several months ago Mrs. Noble was stricken with apoplexy and was very ill for a long time. She recovered to a great extent and was comparatively well until a week ago, w’hen she had an attack of cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Noble had lived in this city for forty years, with the exception of five years, passed in Alton, 111. She was one of the most brilliant of young women and her marriage with Air. Noble, a son of Governor Noble, united two of the best-known and most distinguished families of the State. Almost the entire extreme east end of the city was the possession of the two families. Airs. Noble was a woman of fine character and much beloved by a circle of friends representative of the older residents of the city. She leaves her husband and children —Airs. Jennie Noble Whaley, Airs.

United States Alarshal Kereheval has appointed Simon Grimes, a colored man, to take the place of Daniel Lannis on the janitor s force at the Federal building. Civ-il-servico rules do not govern this position. Some question has been raised as to the right of the marshal’s appointment of John Hummeihever to the position of engineer at the Federal building. This position is under civil-service rules. The marshal lead filed charges uginst Fred R. Frink, the former engineer, and Frink resigned. Air. Kereheval said that he had authority to make the appointment under the circumstances and it appears, by its approval at Washington, that lie was right.

WARNED THE OFFICIAL SIPREME COIRT SCORES BLACKFORD COUNTY APPELLANT. % ♦ ■ Tonnsblp Trustee* Must Elect County Superintendent nt Date Fixed by Law. The Supreme Court yesterday, in an opinion in the case of Benjamin F. Wampler against the State, on the relation of Virgil 11. Alexander, held that township trustees must elect county superintendents on the dates fixed by law for such elections, and may be compelled to attend such meetings by mandate. The case cams up frcm Blackford county. The meeting for the election of the county superintendent was fixed for the first Monday of last June. There are four townships in the county, and the trustees are equally divided politically, thus giving the deciding vote to the county auditor. The old superintendent was opposed by the auditor, and the trustees friendly to him staid away from the meeting, thus preventing a quorum, in the hope of defeating the election of a successor to the county superintendent then in office. The two trustees who attended the meeting adjourned from time to time, and asked and secured a writ of mandamus from the Circuit Court, compelling the two absent trustees to meet with them June 23. From this an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. Judge Jordan wrote the opinion. He says that the duty of the trustees to elect a county superintendent biennially is imperative and that while the day for the election is fixed by statute, the date of the meeting for the election is not necessarily limited to one day; that the meeting may be adjourned from day to day. He scores the appellant in this manner: “It is to be regretted that appellant, as a public official, intrusted under the law with a public duty, should disregard its plain provisions and commands. Such neglect or refusal to perform a duty which he had sworn to discharge merits severe condemnation. When public officers fail or refuse to discharge their plain duties under the law, not only do they violate their official oaths, but also subject themselves to the penalty imposed by Section 2018 of the Revised Statutes.” The penalty referred to is a fine of from $lO to SSOO for the first offense and imprisonment in the penitentiary for continued refusal to perform duties. The clerk of the Supreme Court is ordered to certify the opinion of the court forthwith to the Circuit Court of Blackford county, and to cause a writ of mandate to issue fixing another date as early as practical for the appellant to meet with the other trustees to elect a county superintendent.

In the suit of Laura E. De Ruiter against Derk De Ruiter, proceedings looking to a legal separation of the couple, an amended complaint was filed yesterday in Room 2, Superior Court. Derk De Ruiter, Eva G. Vanderwcrf and Cornelius Vanderwerf, husband of the latter, are made defendants to the suit. The original suit for divorce was brought by Mrs. De Ruiter in Room 1, last winter. It was met by a cross complaint on the part of the defendant, and both were refused the decree of divorce. The divorce was refused in January last. The plaintiff now’ claims Mr. De Ruiter came to her with a neighbor in 'the following February, and tried to bring about a reconciliation. He visited her a number of times, she says, a.nd during the month of February induced her to transfer her interest in a piece of property, promising to immediately deed the same back to her. She avers that the property was afterwards transferred to Eva Vanderw’erf, the defendant’s daughter by a former marriage. It is claimed the execution of the deed which she was to have was delayed until March 9, last. She became so anxious about the matter, that it brought on nervous prostration. The plaintiff avers that in February last Mr. De Ruiter took her pass book and SIOO which she desired to deposit on some stock she held in the Hoosier Savings and Loan Association of Indianapolis, promising to attend to the matter himself. He retained the pass book, she avers, and, aside from his own word, the plaintiff has no knowledge that he deposited the money. The charge is further made that Mr. De Ruiter induced the building association to transfer his wile’s stock to himself without her knowledge. The plaintiff makes the charge that her husband accused her of having been guilty of improper conduct in the fall of 1896. She also says that De Ruiter entered into a conspiracy with the defendant, Eva Vanderwerf, by which real estate belonging to the De Ruiters was transferred to her in consideration of the sum of $4, when, as a matter of fact, the property was worth $34,000. Mrs. De Ruiter asks that the transfer be declared void, and that she be given a divorce and alimony in the sum of $15,000.

THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court. 18350. Wampler vs. State ex rel. Alexander. Blackford C. C. Affirmed. Jordan, J.—l. In mandamus suits the alternate writ must be taken as in the nature of a complaint in the cause, but the facts shown in the verified application, upon which the alternative writ rests, may be. when necessary, used or looked to in order to supplement those embraced in the writ, and the application may be considered by the court in connection with the alternative; and if the facts in the writ alone, or when supleraented by those in the application, are sufficient to entitle the applicant to tie peremptory writ, a demurrer addressed to the writ alone or to both the writ and application, should be overruled. 2. Mandamus is the proper remedy to coerce an officer to discharge a public duty, and any one having an interest in the matter involved may apply for the writ. 3. The statute places the election of a county superintendent in the township trustees of each county, and imposes the burden upon them in meeting at such time and place for that purpose, and in case of refusal to comply with the law or discharge their duties they may be, compelled by mandate to discharge their duty in obedience to the law. 4. The court judicially knows the time when the township trustees are to meet for the purpose of electing the county superintendents. 5. The provisions of the statute, naming and finding the time for the meeting of the trustee* to convene for the purpose of electing such officer, must be considered as directory only, and not as prohibiting the exercise of the power or discharge of the duty imposed after the termination of the time named therein. 18026.

And In case such company so ob true s the water course that it causes the water to back upon the adjoining land it is liable to the owners thereof for the damages done thereto. 2. Acts which occurred during the trial, if erroneous, should be assigned as reasons for anew trial, and not made an independant assignment of error in this court. 18201. Breyfogle vs. Stotsenburg. Clark C. C. Affirmed. McCabe. C. J.—Where an assignee brings suit upon notes in favor of his trust, and the defense is that of failure of consideration such failure of consideration being based upon the fact that the notes were given for property purchased upon sale by order of court, unless the sale and delivery are absolutely void for want of a report and confirmation thereof, there is not a failure of consideration of the notes sued upon. 18181.

Black, J.—While the evidence must correspond with the pleadings, yet if there may be a recovery upon proof of some of the allegations without evidence sustaining others, the proof of all the averments should not be required In the instructions to the jury. 2579. Manahan vs. State of Indiana. Sullivan C. C. Reversed. Wiley, C. J.—l. When a person is charged with assault and battery and the evidence shows that the prosecuting witness was the agressor, the defendant doing all in his power to defend htmself from an unprovoked assault upon him, be may he justified in resisting an attack upon his person. 2. In determining •whether or not there is evidence in the record to support the judgment the court must look at all the evidence and be guided by it as a whole. 2510. Douglass vs. State of Indiana, Marlon Criminal Court. Affirmed. Robinson, J.—l. In construing a statute such meaning will be given to the words of the statute as will make them all effective unless by so doing the purpose of the Legislature will be defeated. 2. The words “any person” in the second division of Section 2179 R. S., 1894, cannot be said to be the “any person" used in the first division, and the word “and” connecting the two might properly be read “or.” By the language used in the formation of the above statute the legislature Intended to state two distinct offenses. 3. The court has a right to temporarily excuse a juryman from duty, but in the absence of any showing to the contrary tills court must presume that the Juror was present as a member of the panel. 4. It is not error to permit witnesses to testify that the copy of gambling device* are a correct representation of those used on the day of the offense charged. 2461. Tell City vs. Biefleid. Perry C.

WISE WOMEN. Those Who Hoed tho First Symptoms of Nervous Derangement. Special from Mrs. Pinkham. A dull, aching pain at the lower part of the back and a sensation of little rills cf heat, or chills running down the spine, are symptoms of general womb derangement. If these symptoms are not accompv nied by leucorrhaea, they are weakness. &mssm It is worse ! I than folly to neglect |f toms. Any woman of com- \\ mon sense will 1 ¥ I \\ take steps to I \\ Y\ cure herself. j • \ \\ She will realize that I \ \ \ her generative system , \ \ \ is in need of help, and _ * that a good restorative medicine is a positive necessity. It must be a medicine with specific virtues. Asa friend, a woman friend, let me advise the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. If your case has progressed so that a troublesome discharge is already established, do not delay, take the Vegetable Compound at once, so as to tone up your whole nervous system; you can get it at any reliable drug store. You ought also to use a local application, or else the corrosive discharge will set up an inflammation and hardening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash is put up in packets at 25 cents each. To relieve this painful condition this Sanative Wash is worth Its weight in gold. Mks.Geohgk W. Shepard, Watervliet, N. Y., says; “lam glad to state that I am cured from the worst form of female weakness. I was troubled very much -with leuco: hcea, bearing-down pains and backache. Before using Mrs. Pinkham’s Remedies it seemed that I had no strength at all. I was in pain all over. I began to feel better after taking the first dose of Vegetable Compound. 1 have used five bottles, and I feel like anew woman. „ I know if other suffering women only try it, it would help them.”
