JAMES W. FESLER. Clerk. • 'arson A- Thompson. Atmma.vs for PlatntifT. The Ohio kenntorial Unnrrel. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal' The senatorial situation in Ohio, whether viewed from the standpoint of a mere partisan or that of a patriotic citizen, is deplorable. What wonder that intelligent and honest people have come to regard the politician as a selfish trickster and nothing more? lunik at the situation. Mr. Hanna, a bright business man, championed the cause of Major McKinley and dfil so well that we now have President McKinley. As a reward for his interest in political matters. Mr, Hanna is appointed a senator for the unexpired term of Senator Shertn tn. Having hud his first taste of political power, Senator Hanna concludes that he wants some more of the same sort, and, being influential with the President, ho. uses tlie potitieal patronage of Ohio to further his ends. After the manner of politicians, he rewards ills friends and ignores all Republicans who have not been training in his camp. Os course, the other fellows do not like to be left out when the federal loaws and llshes are being passed around, end they organise a rebellion that threatens to disrupt the Republican party in Ohio. Hanna. Bushneil. Foraker, Kurtz and the rest tire neither better nor worse than other politicians. They are. simply the inevitable result of the spoils system. It is quite tin fashion for the spoilsmen to sneer at those who think that government should be organized for the whole people and not to furnish soft places for ofth-eholders. hut a short glance at the Ohio situation is enough to give the professional placeman i>ause. Perhaps In this conrieetion a hint to Representative Grosvenor will not he out of place. • if he will call the attention of his aisti-civil-serviee reform caucus to the dreadful situation cf Ohio spoilsmen it may find a way to rur. polities for spoils anti at the same time not hold the Republican party up by the tail, to the great delight of the un regenerate. GEORGE B. CARDWILL. * New Albany, ind., Jan. 5. Kpqutnitlor for n Vincennes Man. Governor Tanner, of Illinois, has sent a requisition to the Governor of Indiana for the delivery of Bert Ennij*. alias Bert Johnson. who Is now under arrest at Vincennes. The prisoner is charged with horse stealing, committed in Wayne county, Illinois, Dec. B. 1897.

PANHANDLE’S CONDITION Bl MINES* ON PENNSYLVANIA LINES BREAKING ALL RECORDS. * Earninas of the Clover-Leaf for Six Months—View* of President lit* pew on Itailrond Situation. Business on the Pennsylvania lines west of Philadelphia, especially on the Panhandle. is the heaviest on record. The company has insufficient motive power to haul its freight and Is building as rapidly as possible locomotives of the largest type. Officials say that business prospects in the territory reached by the Pennsylvania lines havo never been as promising as at present. It has been practically settled that no dividend will be paid on Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis, better known as the Panhandle stock, this year, but that all surplus money shall go into improving the roadbed and increasing the equipment. An idea of the business the Pennsylvania lines are doing may be formed from a statement of the traffic of the middle division of the Pennsylvania road. This division made a great record last year in handling freight, the total number of cars moved aggregating 1,711,410, as compared with 1,379,020 for 1896. This is an increased movement of 332,390 cars. The year wound up with a rec-ord-breaking movement, December reporting 10,123 more cars than the best previous month’s movement, which was 139,726 cars in December, 1895. The movement in 1897 by months was as follows; January, 108,443; February, 114,600; March, 127.368; April, 121.327; May. 119,989; June, 124,902: July, 131,867; August, 135,216; September, 132,071; October, 132,633: November. 132,845; December, 150,149; total, 1,711,410. Anti-Scalper Bill Hearing. The Interstate-commerce Commission yesterday resumed its hearing at Washington on the anti-scalper bill. Mr. McKenzie, the president of the American Ticket Brokers' Association, said that he had. received affidavits from a number of ticket brokers confirming his statement that the brokers secured 95 per cent, of the tickets sold by them from the railroad companies. When Senator Cullom asked for names Mr. McKenzie replied that to answer would be a breach of confidence. While he considered the question proper he should decline to name: the companies except under a summons. In that case he would respond, but he did not want to break faith. E. J. Thiele, of the Illinois Commercial Men's Association, opposed the bill as unjust. claiming that the owner of a railroad ticket should be allowed to dispose of it as he might see tit. as would the owner oi any other commodity. Senator Wolcott made the point that “no honest, honorable man would bo caught traveling on another man’s name on a nontransferable ticket.” Mr. Thiele said he Iwd known of men whom he believed to be honest doing that thing. He said that what the traveling men wanted was a uniform, flat S2O thou-sand-mile rate. P. E. Dow, of New York, persident of the Commercial Travelers’ National League, also appeared in antagonism to the bill. ) William F. King, president of the Merchants’ Association of New York, spoke for the bill. He said he had fought the railroads for years and would continue to ilght until proper rates should be secured. He was opposed to discrimination, however, hence he favored the pending bill. He characterized as forgery the dealing in railroad tickets, which was, he said, opposed to the Constitution of the United States. He did not believe, he said, emphatically, in a course that would save one dollar at the expense of the crime of forgery. He said there were very few firms that would employ a man as a traveler who would deal with ticket brokers. A. M. Compton, of Chicago, of the National Association of Merchants and Travelers. urged the passage of the bill. His association had resident delegates at the Important points of the country and in reply to Inquiries directed to these agents, the association had not received a baker’s dozen of replies unfavorable to the bill. He had been for years a commercial traveler and did not accept the doctrine that the traveling men were as a class favorable to the system of dealing in railroad tickets through the brokers. This was poor commercial integrity. He referred to the brokers as parasites upon the common carrier system of the country and said the ticket brokers’ offices were the resorts, public and advertised, for dealing in fraudulent, lost and stolen railway tickets. Mr. Compton contended that so long as the right is claimed to control the railroads hv legislation they ought also to be protected in the same way. He asserted that rgilroad ( barges were lower in this country than in others and said his association considered it to be its duty to assist the railroads in continuing to perform their duty to the public. The hearing for the day was closed with a brief, but vigorous statement by J. B. Dill, of New York, counsel for the Merchants' Association, of New York, who declared that of the 1.100 firms in this association in New York, representing $500,000,000, there had not been one vote cast against the preposition to support this bill and of the thirty thousand firms outside that city representing another $500,000,000 only eighteen had opposed it. He said the merchants generally allowed their traveling men full rates and that the ticket brokers' offices afforded to them temptation to go wrong. “These places,” he said, “savor of darkness rather than of light and are a trap and a temptation to young men traveling for reputable houses." Mr. Dill also contended the legal right of the railroads to protection and support and asserted that those who were opposing the bill and contending for their rights in doing so were simply contending for the right to do wrong. M. B. Kelley, commissioner of freight transportation department of the Trades’ League, of Philadelphia, filed a statement in support of the bill. The Western roads are making a hard fight for the passage of the anti-sealping bill. Chairman Caldwell, of the Western Passenger Association, Is now in Washington looking after the interests of the roads, and he has the aid of Chairman Compton, of the executive committee of the Association of Merchants and Travelers of Chicago. The latter organization is very earnest in its fight against the brokers, because of the circulars sent out over the signature of one of the leaning opponents .among the brokers of the bill, to the effect that the merchants of Chicago were not acting in good faith in their indorsement of the bill. The merchants are for the bill In good faith, and have always been so. and they have made a much harder tight for it than they would have thought of making had they not been held up to the members of Congress as not in earnest when they passed their resolutions favoring its passage.

Views of Mr. Deperv. Chauneey M. Depew. president of the New York Central lines, does not take as despondent a view of tho railroad situation as does E. B. Thomas, president of the Erie; still, the demoralization in rates the last few months, ho thinks, has been very unfortunate. He says: "Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, the new year. I believe, will be a very satisfactory one for the railroads. Thus far the railroads have, not shared in the advantages enjoyed by the agricultural portion of the community. Farmers in consequence of the advanced price of wheat have enjoyed a much-de-sired prosperity. Much has happened of lute to hurt the railroad business, and for the unfavorable condition of affairs the railroad men themselves are largely to blame. While the ocean steamships have enjoyed a continuous business at full rates, the railroads, owing to the demoralization existing among them, have presented the unusual and unbusinesslike spectacle of having more than they could do and still bidding viciously against each other for traffic which they had not the facilities to handle. While this state of affairs has hurt the earnings of the railroads, it lias helped nobody except a few middlemen and speculators. i think it likely that the coming twelve months will witness more harmonii.us relations. It is certainly to be hoped that the demoralization that has marked the past six months will speedily be cheeked.” Troublesome Excursions. The agreement reached by the Western roads a ft w days since regarding the running of homeseekers' excursions is a buck number already. It has been found that so many of the roads are not satisfied with the agreement to restrict the excursions to jHiints on the Missouri river that another meeting has been called at Chicago for today. There is little likelihood that the meeting will result in the abolishment of

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1898.

the excursions, as many of the roads have made their arrangements for the handling of the business, and have put out advertising announcing that they will run the excursions. It is possible, however, that an agreement may be reached that no more excursions shall be run after, those which have already been urrang**! for have been handled. A strong effort will be made to do away with the excursions, as they virtually cause? a reduction of one-tvay rates two days in each week, and this means a heavy loss to the W?stem roads in general. Personal, born I nod General Notes. W. S. Roney, auditor of the Vandalia lines, has gone to Pittsburg. The Vandalia in December earned, gross, $34,369 more than in December, 1896. Grecm astle Junction, on the Vandalia, is hereafter to be known as Limedale Station. The fast mail on the Wabash on Saturday ran from Peru to Tilton, 101 miles, in 100 minutes. In the year 1897 there were forty-eight persons killed In Ohio at crossings of railroads at grades. Paymaster Snec, of the Panhandle lines, will start on his monthly rounds next Monday in his new pay car. George B. Ogden, of McKeesport, has been appointed division freight agent of tho Pennsylvania road’s middle division. Ho took charge yesterday. Through the efforts of the Kansas City Freight Bureau several of the roads out of Kansas City will carry traveling salesmen on freight trains during 1898. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is largely increasing its yards at Lucknow. Over four hundred men are now employed in making the improvement. J. P. Morgan & Cos. have purchased the majority of the stock of the Susquehanna (k Western Railroad. It is understood that the purchase had been made in the interest of Erie. G. M. Farnham, special agent of the Central Passenger Association, is in the city on a special mission. It is intimated that in a quiet manner he is testing this market for tickets. H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, says their excursion to Mexico Jan. 27 promises to be a success. Ha is receiving inquiries daily as to rates, time, etc. J. D. Welsh, who on Wednesday retired as general agent of the Union Pacific for this territory on account of 111 health, had just completed his twenty-first year in the service of that road. The office of foreman of engines on the Nickel-plate lines has been abolished, and A. S. Work, who has filled the position for several years, has been given a position in the company’s shops. The Evansville & Terre Haute earned in 1897 $1,039,172, against $1,038,743 in 1896. A slight g:iin under the conditions the road has had to meet in 1897 is highly creditable to the present management. D. I. Roberts, general passenger agent of the Erie lines, has discovered that the mileage book of the road has been cleverly counterfeited, and to protect tb road has called in all the old mileage books. For three days past the Ohio coal operators have been together endeavoring to form a pool. It is stated that the Ohio toal roads, as w r ell as the operators, are included in the proposed pooling agreement. The fast freight line of the Big Four has been in operation one year. It is now scheduled to run from Cleveland to St. Louis in twenty-four hours, and seldom in that period has it failed of reaching St. Louis on time. The Pennsylvania Company has established a night telegraph office at Maples, Ind., and has put Thomas Quinn in charge. Mr. Quinn has just completed a student’s course in the Pennsylvania telegraph office at Fort Wayne. Officials of the Vandalia lines were at Logansport yesterday adjusting the loss With the insurance company on their depot at that point. Work is to be commenced at once in its rebuilding. A portion of the walls can again be used. Western railroad circles are speculating as to what the policy of the new president of the Union Pacific is to be toward its connections which lead out from Chicago. The policy he adopts is an important matter to some of the Chicago lines. The report of Receiver Peirce, of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, shows that in December the road earned $192,390.13, an increase over December, 1896, of $9,797.26. Since July 1 the road earned. $1,232,649.14, an increase over 1896 of $39,971,57. S. T. Seeley, the newly appointed traveling passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, is in the city, this being his initial trip. For twenty-five years Mr. Seeley was connected with the Erie Railway passenger department. H. F. Woodward, who has been chief clerk of the superintendent of the Grand Rapids & Indiana for some years, has ace -pted a similar position with the superintendent of the Santa Fe. He was in the city yesterday en route to Topeka, his headquarters. Oscar Murray, receiver of the Baltimore & Ohio, is quoted as saying: “The articles of agreement signed by the presidents of the trunk lines admit of no misunderstanding. and there is reason to believe that any attempt at rate cutting’will be vigorously dealt with.”

Notice was sent out yesterday of the appointment of Samuel Church as assistant secretary of the Pittsburg, ('inoinnati, Chicago <&: St, l>nuis. with headquqarters at Pittsburg. S. W. White will continue as assistant secretary, hut his headquarters will be at Philadelphia. Gross earnings of the Monon road for the month of December were $348,878. against $240,337 for the same month of last year. Prom July 1 to Dec. 31 the gross earnings of the road were $1,776,152, against $1,475,676 for the same period of the preceding year, an increase of $300,376. More business was done by the roads passing through Pern. Ind., in the year 1897 than in any former year, which was largely due to the discovery of oil at Pern. In the month of October the freight receipts of the roads passing through that point increased $7,700 over October, 1896. J. P. Wallace, the electrician, Is again with the Illinois Central, having left the Alkali Company, of Providence, R_ 1. His reconnection with the company is said to be due to the fact that the Illinois Central people are to make extensive use of electricity as a motive power. The composite car on the New England road, about which so much has been said, is now declared to be a success and will at once be put in regular service on the Milford branch. This is the first attempt of a railroad to reduce the cost of transportation by electrical In place of steam power. Thomas McGill, formerly assistant ticket agent of the Baltimore & Ohio at Chicago, has been appointed traveling passenger agent of the company at St. Paul, succeeding J. P. Taggart, transferred to Philadelphia as city ticket agent, and W. A. Paulsen. clerk, Is promoted to assistant ticket agent at Chicago. At the meeting of the national Senate committee on Indian affairs yesterday a favorable report was ordered on the hill prohibiting railroad companies whose lines traverse Indian Territory from charging more than 3 cents a mile on passenger traffic. It was stated that some of the railreads now exact 5 cents i>er mile. Vice President John Agley and General Manager Falthom have resigned their positions with the Wisconsin &• Michigan Railroad. to take immediate effect. President 8. M. Fisher will succeed both for the present. George W. Arnold, of Marinette, is spoken of us the likely to be elected vice president. On Oct. 1 the platform men at the Pennsylvania city freight depots began basing their pay on the tonnage system, and in most cases the results have been very satisfactory to the freight handlers, about onehalf of the number making from $2 to $4 more per week than under the old day system of paying, while the less competent men receive a little less. H. Cory, superintendent of motive power of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &. Dayton. was in the city yesterday to arrange with tire master mechanic of the Indiana. Decatur & Western shops for the rebuilding of several locomotives and repairing freight and passenger equipment. In the year 1897 the ].. D. & W. shops made general repairs and repainted forty coaches for the* C.. H. & D. and rebuilt four parlor ears after the most modern pattern. The official report of General Manager Bacon, of the Indiana Car-service Association, shows that the management is disposed to treat shippers and consignees fairly. During the year, including Sundays, there were 156 days in which, on account of bad weather for loading or unloading, no charge was made, against 135 days in 1896. One singular feature of last year's business was that in August there was no clay omitted, the weajLher being fair, with no holidays, whith was the first time such a thing has occurred in the eight years the bureau has been in operation. Owing to the failure of the Interstatecommerce Commission to hand down its decision in the hearing of the Milwaukee Chamber <>f Commerce against several railroads in which alleged discriminating rates were charged, thr Chamber of Cemmerce threatens to appeal to Congress and have an investigation of the Interstate-commerce Commission. The trouble arose some four years ago. The issues were discussed at great length and were presented to the In-terstate-commerce Commission in detail. The railways denied any discrimination, but it was shown to the satisfaction of many that the Milwaukee grain dealers had not been treated equitably by the roads. The

Chicago. Milwaukee. St. Paul, the Chicago & Northwestern, the Illinois Central and other railroads figured in the hearing. At a meeting Oftthe directors of tire Pacific Express Company in Omaha yesterday William Behel Resigned his position on th< board and Ills position as auditor of the company. Erastus Young, auditor of the Union Pacific, was elected to succeed Behel. President and Treasurer Morsmall gave up the position of treasurer, a gentleman of St. Louis named Taylor being named treasurer of the company. The session of the directory lasted four hours, was attended by all the direct era.And is admitted to have been very interesting and almost tempestuous at times. American railway officials can dispose of an enormous amount of work when occasion demands it. At the office of H. C. Townsend, general passenger and ticket agent of the Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain route, there were received on the first Monday of the new year a number of letters and telegrams large enough to discourage the most enthusiastic writer. The correspondence of a railroad is always large, but the mall brought by the new year surpassed all previous records. The exact number of letters received was 1.908 and the telegrams 117, making the total 2,020. A. F. Sullivan, general superintendent of the Illinois Central, with the approval of Vice President Harahan. has issued a circular to all employes on their Northern and Southern systems stating they have made arrangements with the Railway Officials’ and Employes’ Accident Association to insure them at reduced rates against accident and requesting them to avail themselves of the offer. The plan is similar to that of President Felton, of the Queen & Crescent. The cost of the Insurance is shared by the company, and the share to be paid by the employe is deducted from his pay, if he avails himself of the proposition. Several of the leading roads of the country have adopted this plan. William Beilis, general manager of the association, will take steps at once to carry out the wishes of the Illinois Central people in the matter. A report having gained circulation that some changes were to be made in the official roster of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, of which Gaylord Beach, an old Bee-line man, is general superintendent, the Post, in denying it, says of the present successful management: "Any insinuation against the present managefnent of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie is simply a scandal. There never was a better managed road and never will be, and tho enormous traffic it has handled and the reputation It has attained are sufficient proofs that there is nothing dissatisfactory regarding the way in which the affairs of the road are being conducted at present. No matter what changes are to be made—and the prospect!ve 'changes so far exist only in the imagination of the few—tho present efficient officers will be maintained. and it is stated on good authority that, no important changes are contemplated.” Not Pleased with tlie New Mileage. To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaP I notice in this morning’s issue of the Journal that Mr. Bronson, of the Big Four, has become satisfied in his mind that the new Central Passenger Association interchangeable mileage is a fixture (perhaps), and now seems to fill the bill in all particulars; that even, the commercial traveler now views the book as a thing of beauty and a joy forever. There is no passenger agent in the State whom the commercial travelers of Indianapolis think more of personally than Mr. Bronson, no system they prefer over the Big Four, but Mr. Bronson had best not deceive himself about the commercial travelers and the Central Passenger Association mileage. It is true we have quit “kicking.” Why? Because we soon found it did no good. Our wishes are nothing in this matter, but we bide our time. Please note action of our state association Dec. 18, and for further particulars inquire of the railroad mileage committee appointed that day. Five thousand commercial travelers in Indiana, turned loose on mileage legislation will make the political pot a little bit warm, to say the least. Do away with your exchange-ticket feature, at least. If we help you guard against, the scalper (which the ticket will do with the expljange-ticket feature) we at the same time object to also being bondsmen for railroad employes. H. Indianapolis, Jan. 5.

THAT 40-TO-1 FAILURE. P. J. Carlon tn Handle Kava-nagh’s Few Remaining Assets. The attorneys for the creditors of James P. Kavanagh. tlifc wholesale tobacco dealer at No. 54 South Pennsylvania street, think they know where the supposed bankrupt merchant is sojourning at present. It is charged that Kavanagh went, east on the Knickerbocker express a few days after his assignment last week. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, has decided that Patrick J. Carlon, assigned for Kavanagh, is entitled to pervert A his present capacity unless a. majority of the creditors ask for his removal. A petition was filed with the court last week asking that Mr. Carlon be removed, on the. ground that he was the attorney for KaVanagh before the latter assigned. Mr. Cation has assured the court that he is no longer the legal adviser of Kavanagh, and the. attorneys are all agreed that he shall remain in charge of the trust. Mr. Carlon was absent from the city at the time of his appointment as assignee, and only returned a few days ago. He finds that Kavanagb’s liabilities are something like $40,000, with about $1,0(8) of available assets. The attorneys claim anew feature of Kavanagh’s business methods was developed yesterday. Tt is charged that on the night before* his assignment the tobacco merchant received a consignment of tobacco valued at SI,OOO from an Eastern wholesale house. The tobacco was received .at one of the freight depots during the night, and Instead of transferring it to his store it is claimed Kavanagh removed the tobacco to another depot and shipped it out of the city.

It is charged that the New York real estate which Kavanagh included in the schedule of assets filed here was conveyed to his father about the time of tlm assignment. The property is valued at $2,500. DIDN’T LIVE IN LAWRENCE. Commissioners Refuse a Saloon License to Moeller. The remonstrance proceedings against William Moeller, who had an application on file to sell liquor in the town of Lawrence, this county, took a peculiar turn yesterday. The remonstrators based their petition to the County Commissioners on the provisions of the Nicholson law. They claimed Moeller was a nonresident of the town in wiiieh he desired to carry on the saloon business, and that the place in which hp sought to sell liquor did not front the public highway. Yesterday was the day set for the hearing, but before the proceedings began the remonstrance was withdrawn by a delegation from Lawrence; who declared if they must have a saloon in the village they preferred that. Moeller eotrduct: it. The board, however. decided to investigate the matter and called in Moeller. When questioned he adinittd lie did not live in the town of Lawrence. He said his family resided here and he made this city his home. The enmmisslorers informed him it was out of the question to talk of giving him a license and he withdrew his application. “Kid” McCoy Coming;. “Kid” MrCoV lias been specially engaged by the combined management of the Empire and Reilly A Wood's Big Show as an extra attraction during their engagement next week, commencing Monday matinee.

AN OPERA FOR HIS FEE ♦ W . AV. HRROD WILL HAVE HIS KLI- - M WHILE HERE ON EARTH. Mai Rosenberg. ain Allegort Biuaniiil, Fulk Him Into Poaaesxlon of All This—The Defense. Attorney W. W. Herod has gone into the theatrical business in a modest way. Ho has consented to defend Max Rosenberg, the alleged bigamist, trial has been set down in the Criminal Court, and to secure the payment of a fee Mr. Herod has in his possession the libretto and score of tho opera "Elysium,” which Rosenberg was preparing to stage in Cincinnati at the time of his arrest. Mr. Herod will retain possession of the opera until the. case has been disposed of. It is said to be quite tuneful, but requires a great chorus to present it properly. Rosenberg’s attorneys are reasonably sure of getting their client acquitted. He was arrested two months ago in Cincinnati on a Marion county grand jury warrant. The indictment was procured here on information furnished by Blanche Mitchell, a Chicago actress, who is represented by Blackledge & Thornton. Miss Mitchell was married to Rosenberg in November, IS9C. In March, 1897, Rosenberg appeared here with Miss Jennie Crawford, a pretty Chicago milliner, and was married to h r here. Judge MeMastef, of the Superior Court, performed the ceremony. It de-eloped afterward, according to the testim jny before the grand jury, that Rosenberg left his first wife after two months of married life, but was not divorced from her at the time of his marriage here. Subsequently both women procured divorces. Rosenberg’s story, as related to his attorneys yesterday, differs materially from the evidence before tho grand jury. He admits his marriage to Miss Mitchell, but says she became infatuated with him and induced him to marry He says he lived with her but three weeks, when he saw he had made a mistake. He says he proposed to her that one of them should procure a divorce, and then left her. He continued to reside in Chicago, and a month after the separation he received a note from the woman asking him to meet her at the Great Northern Hotel. He says he met her in the parlor at the time appointed by her and she there informed him he was free—that she had been to Dakota and had procured a divorce. During the winter, he says, he met Miss Crawford and they came hero to be married. Rosenberg claims he did not know his last marriage might be termed irregular' until he returned to Chicago with his wife. He was met by an attorney representing wife No. 1, who informed him that no divorce had been granted in Dakota. Rosenberg says he was greatly alarmed, and instructed the attorney to have a divorce procured at once. He says he gave the attorney money with which to pay the expenses of the proceedings. Then he returned to the woman lie had married here, telling her of the facts and advising an immediate separation, which, he says, took place. He says he also gave her a sum of money and instructed her to proceed at once to have the marriage annulled. ♦ MOTHER AGAINST SON. Mary Gay Claim* She Whk Defrauded of Property. In the suit of Mary Gay against Elizabeth J. Campbell and Henry Gay, which is being tried in the Superior Court, a mother charges her son with attempting to defraud her out of property. The suit is to quiet the title to toe old Gay homestead on West St. Clair street. Tho plaintiff is aged and infirm. In her complaint she avers that her son, Henry E. Gay, took advantage of her helpless condition in 1891. During that year she. desired to visit her relatives in New Jersey and found it necessary to make a sale of real estate in,order to pay her expenses. She called in her son, Henry Gay, and apprised him of her intentions. She proposed, she says, to give him the power of attorney to dispose of her real estate. She avers he afterward came to her with a document, which she supposed would simply vest him with the power of attorney. Being unable to write, she signed the document by her mark. She declares now the document she signed was a warranty deed, and she avers there was no consideration. She charges that in December, 1895, her son transferred the deed to Elizabeth J. Campbell without consideration. The allegations are denied bv the defense. They claim Gay had satisfied' indebtedness against his mother’s property amounting to $1,900, and that the defendant Elizabeth Campbell furnished a good part of the money. The property covered bv the deed it is claimed, rightfully belonged’ to Gay, and there was no fraud in the transaction The plaintiff asks that the title to the real estate be quieted in her, and that Elizabeth Campbell account to the court for all money she has expended in keeping up the property.

MAYOR’S CENSUS INVALID. Huntington’* Police ConimiMlonerß Will He Ousted. The State Supreme Court yesterday rendered r derision which deprives the. city of Huntington of its metropolitan police board. The law of 1897 provided for police boards in cities of over 10.000 population, and the mayor of Huntington, Simon T. Cost, thinking to secure metropolitan airs for his town, set abouu to secure a census to ascertain if the town contained the requisite number of citizens. He succeeded in doing this, but failed to convince a number of incredulous people in his own town as to the reliability of the count. It also appears that some of the members of the Common Council were more inclined to retain control of the police board than they were to advance the interests and glory of the town. After the Governor, on the mayor’s showing. had appointed Edwin B. Ayres, Howard McClelland and John S. Cline as the new police board, the malcontents brought suit to oust it. They claimed that the mayor had counted peoplh who did not live in tho city limits, and that he had destroyed ail the returns, thus making it impossible to verify the correctness of the census. The lower court, however, ruled against them, but the Supreme Court yesterday reversed its decision. Tlie ground upon which the lower court’s decision was reversed was that the census of Mayor Cost was no census at all. In order that the census to be taken by the mayor should be. a valid one, the court said there must be an offt-ial enrollment. which enrollment should be filed In the archives of the city as a public document. The McGuliinM Again in Court. John B. McGuffin, who was prominently mentioned in the county courts a few years ago on account of domestic difficulties, is a defendant in a suit which went to trial In the Circuit Court yesterday. His divorced wife is also a party to the litigatiou, which involves SBOO worth of notes and a. piece of Indianapolis real estate. The plaintiff is August Kempf, who is suing on the notes anti to have a conveyance of real estate which McGuffin made to his wife at the time of their separation set aside. Mrs. McGuffin was on the witness stand yesterday and cried bitterly as she recounted her woes. McGuffin left ills wife in April, 1894. and. according to her testimony, went to live with another woman. She learned of his conduct and sent for him to come to her. They decided on a separation and arranged for a division of their property. Previous to this McGuffin had executed his notes to August Kempf for SBOH. After the separation of husband and wife suit was brought to collect the notes and to set aside the conveyance of property made to Mrs. McGuffin on the ground that the conveyance was made for the purpose of defeating any judgment that might be secured on these notes. An Attractive, but incorrigible, Girl. Nellie Grew, an attractive looking girl of about sixteen, was committed to the Reform School for Girls yesterday. Her mother, a respectable appearing woman residing on South C’apitol avenue, appeared in the Circuit Court and told Judge Allen about tlie trouble she hud been having with her daughter. She said the girl was absolutely incorrigible. A few mouths ago the young woman left this city in company with a young man, and went to Fort Wayne, where they lived for a short time. It developed, during the trial of the case, that the girt put on a suit of boy's clothing, and with her companion "beat" her way to Fort Wayne. In that city the giri is said to have passed herself off as a boy. She had an aunt in Fort Wayne, who found iter and

sent her home. For several weeks the girl has been an inmate of the Rescue Home on South street. Prior to her going there, it is charged she frequented dance halls and winerooms. The matron of the Rescue Mission testified she had no control over the girl. Mrs. Crew is employed as a took at the Spencer House. trims Complaint in L., E. A St. 1,. Case. The New York Security and Trust Company yesterday filed in the Federal Circuit Court its cross-com plaint and also its answer to the original bill in the receivership case of the Louisville. Evansville A: St. Ijouis Consolidated Railroad. The trust company, as the trustee for the consolidated mortgage made in July, 1889, asks for an accounting with the railroad company and tlie trustees of other mortgages, and that the earnings alleged to have been diverted by the receivership to the benefit of property covered by a prior mortgage be made a preferential claim in favor of the mortgage holders represented by the New York Security and Trust Company. An Incorrigible from Broad Hippie. John Carotliers, aged thirteen years, was before the Criminal Court yesterday, charged with incorrigibility. He has been living in the home of Dr. Bates, at Broad Ripple. His infancy he spent in an orphan asylum at Logansport. Judge McCray took his case under advisement. THE COURT RECORD.

In making suc h appointment the Governor's power is derived from the statute and the certificate of the mayor, upon which the Governor is to act. must be one bused upon the census as contemplated by the statute.

fa light l*.v Detective A sell’s Rose. Detectives Asch and Dugan yesterday arrested Elmo Garrison, living at 314 North Alabama street, on charges of burglary and grand larceny. On two occasions the house next door, occupied, by Guy Montani, was entered while the family was away and articles of value taken. The thief secured a lot of jewelry, jnduding two old slfver chains highly prized by Mr. Montani, two revolvers, a razor and a money savings bank containing about $5. Montani suspected Garrison, and the detectives called on him in his room. He denied everything at first, and then Asch told him that he knew where one of the revolvers had been sold. This was a lucky stroke, for It happened that the young man had everything in his possession except the money and one revolver, which lie had sold. He admitted his guilt and produced the stuff. He is seventeen years old. ••Frisky Hornle***’ Arrest.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA To Gain Klesli, to Sleep Well, to Know Wlmt Appetite and Good Digestion Mean. Make a Test of siunrt'i Dyspepsia Tablets. Interesting Experience of nn Indianapolis Gentleman. No trouble Is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies; the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of: the stomach is the organ to be look- and after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach. ,ior perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some casts the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others tlie kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 31 Prospect street, Indianapolis, lnd., writes as follows: “A mriive of pure gratitude prompts me to write *hcse few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer front nervous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave temporary relief until the effects of tlie medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper, with little physical exercise, hut I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, tor I have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way. The above is written, not for notoriety. but is based on actual fact. Respectfully yours. A. W. SHARPER. "61 Prospect Street. Indianapolis, lnd."
