great walker, but after the death of hls wife he was more than ever given to walking about as a means of diversion. This habit was one attended with danger in consequence of his defective eyesight. For a dosen years or more he has been afflicted with cataract, which had recently resulted In complete blindness in one eye. '» ■ *• In the evening, ten days ago, while crossing the driveway to Horace F. Wood’*.livery .stable. In Circle street, he was run over by a hack. Hls thigh was broken, and hls extreme age prevented all hope of recovery. The immediate cause ofi death was heart failure. A Well-Known Figure. Fot 1 many years Mr. Wood was a wellknown figure upon the streets. Hla tall form, but slightly stooped, Was surmounted by an old-fashioned soft Jelt hat, with a brood brim to protect his eyes, and he carried a cane, not so much for a support as to feel hls way along the crowded streets. For thirty years he was the senior partner of the livery firm of Wood & Fondray. The stables for twenty years or more were In Pennsylvania street, where the Butler and McDonald Block now stands, Immediately south of the When building. These two men In partnership so many years never kept any book account between themselves, and held most of their property In common. Just before the death of Mr. Foudray and foreseeing that event, the two partner* had a last meeting, when Mr. Wood Insisted that Mr. Foudray select from the common property the piece* he preferred. This was done, and the settlement waa entirely satisfactory to the survivor. Mr. Foudr&y’s death occurred In 1877. Mr. Wood removed the s. ible to Circle street and continued In business four years longer, when he retired, giving place to hls son Horace F. Although retired from active business, hls Interest Jn horses continued until two or three years ago, and he was known far and wide, not only as an expert judge, but as a breeder of fine •lock. * An Old Ticaldence. Mr. Wood for many yea ’•s owned the property at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Pennsylvania street. This he sold to the Knights of Pythias, but because of old associations he could not be Induced to invest In a home removed any great distance from this old home, and hd purchased the Aquilla Jones property In Pennsylvania street, opposite University Park, a place he had long desired. One of Mr. Wood’s peculiarities was the desire to attend all the fires, especially those that occurred In the night. He had begun to do this when Indianapolis wax a small town, but as it grew and Spread over many miles of space, as the years passed by, the Indulging of this hobby Involved considerable labor. During the past ten or fifteen years he as fain to content himself with attending only to those fires that occurred in the heart of the city. He left six surviving chlldrm—Mrs. Thomas G. Barry, Mrs. Fannie Morrison, Charles Wood, Horace F. Wood, Frank W ood and William Wood. The funeral will take place at the family residence, No. 187 North Pennsylvania street, Thursday afternoon.

The Ladles’ Aid Society will give an Easter souvenir social at the Pilgrim Congregational church. West Indianapolis, next Thursday night. David Allen, one of the order's chief organizers. Is about to Institute a lodge of the Knights and Ladies of the Mystic Castle In Haugrtvffle. Sunday base-ball flourishes in West Indianapolis, and a number of amateur teams may be seen any Sunday now playing on the various commons of the suburb. The suburban Daughters of Rebekah visited the Indianapolis kxig® in Odd Fellows’ Hall Saturday nlgfit to see the 1800 new paraphernalia and the degree work done by some noted team* from outside the city. The Alumni Society of the West Newton High School will have charge of a mimical and literary entertainment at the West Newton Friends’ church to-morrow evening. The Noel trio of Indianapolis will furnish the music and the Rev. T. L -Coultas will give his lecture on “Among the Alps and In Sunny Italy.” ‘Tt will save myself and many West Indianapolis citizens much trouble,” said City Clerk Williamson, of that suburb, “If they will not forget that the payment of one-tenth of the principal and also of the Interest Is due at the county treasurer’s office before the third Monday In April or* street improvements, under the Barrett law. In some of the cases here only tb* Interest will b* dug”

Passenger men say Shat the month of March was a good one for railroad business. The up-town offices report that the ticket sales have been more than during the March of last year, and Increased over February of this year in *plt* of the order relating to mileage books. At the Union Station • similar statement Is made. While the passenger men are talking in this strain the transportation officials are asserting that the railroads are suffering from a greater depression of business than at any time for four years, and “we are reducing expenses in every possible manner” is heard in every department. Shop men are put oh short time, and trainmen do not have the opportunity to make so much money. A careful watch is kept on every thing, and when Is found possible to cut off the smallest expenditure the reduction is made. “Does this mean a reduction in wages?” was the question asked of almost every superintendent In the city. Without on exception the reply was that so far as their knowledge went such a thing was not contemplated, the object being to make the expense* smaller without touching the wage question, which they said would be the last resort. They Insisted that there is no danger In the pay of the men being reduced. “I do not know exactly how to explain this condition of things,” said Superinte^lent Darlington, of the Pennsylvania, "except to say that what is true of the railroad is also true of the whole commercial Interests of the country. The railtoads are the business barometers, and when business Is good with them, business is good everywhere else. We are on the eve of a presidential nomination and election, and this has a depressing effect on the business of the country, at least until the men are selected. I think after the nominations are made that business will brighten up, but we will have a bad year, all things considered.” The railroad men are of the opinion that If the poor business continues * it means the disruption of the Joint Traffic Association, because the reads will have to reduce rates to secure business. They also point to the fact that brokers' offices are springing up in all part* of the country, and In little towns where a "cut-rate” office was never heard of, now there are two and three. The moral of this, it is claimed by some of the lines, is that some of the roads and the scalpers have formed a combination. In spite of the presidents’ agreement. When there is a certainty of this. It is asserted, there will be anotuer slashing of rates. But the scalpers are not pleased with the business either. J. B. Harter said: "Business is bad. The mileage order has not much to do with It. It Is the general condition of the country.

The fruit germs apparently are safe, except peaches. In localities. There bai j been much snow, and the frozen ground has delayed farmwork. But tittle plowing has been done.” This bulletin has been made from reports ! from correspondent* who will hereafter re- | port weekly. The drought to which refer- ■ ence is made is now entering upon its ; fourth year.

depositors were forced to wait on the slow • movements of the assignee to “develop” certain parts of tne assets, they would at last have no redress, as they would be barred from criminal prosecution by the statute of limitation.

The Illinois court holds that the law intends that the offense shall be considered as having taken place the moment the bank fail*. If within thirty days of the date of the failure the banker accepts a deposit, knowing at tbs time that the bank is Insolvent, he Is guilty under the law. The contention of the defense that the offense does not exist unless It Is shown upon the settlement of the affair* of the hank that the depositor has been defrauded Is set aside, for the qeason that the moment the money lx not available the fraud exists. There are a dozen cases in the Vigo Circuit Court dependent upon the decision of the Supreme
