The L., N-A. <fc 0., Division repair shops and tracks ere to be located there, this is not, of course, nearly so a big thing as the Car Shops, but will be a very nice thing for Monon for all that. ‘ * Last Thursday the president settled the question ns to who should succeed Judge Gresham, in the United States district court by appoint ing Judge Wm. A. Woods, of Goshen, and the presiding justice of the firth district of the state Supreme Court. Judge Gould put in the most of the day last Friday listening to the arguments in favor of a new trial ■in the Gougar-Mandlercase. At the close of the argument the motion for a new trial was overruled, as was also the motion for an arrest in judgment, and judgment pronounced on the verdict. An appeal to the Supreme Court was then taken and the defendant given 180 days in which to file bills of exception.

Hammond For Supreme Judge.

The friends of Judge Hammond in this judicial circuit, and in Logansport, Lafayette, and many other neighboring places, are urging upon Gov. Porter his eminent fitness for the position on the Supreme bench, made vacant by the elevation to the Federal court of Judge Woods of the Fifth dirtrict. The Judge, while not being a candidate, in the sense of making any personal effort to secure the appointment, will not decline the position should it be offered him. It is understood that the Governor will make the appointment the last of the present week. A number of applicants are in the field but, so far as can be judged from present appearances, Judge Hammond’s chances appear to be as good as any. One or two things are certain: One is that Gov. Porter will look long before he finds a man for the place, and another is that if the J udge don’t get there his friends will feel worse over the disappointment than lie will himself.
