Anderson obtained a judgment in Chicago, 111., against Mary J. Hawhe, for a considerable sum. He brought a transcript of the’ judgment to Jasper county, and obtained a judgement here, To satisfy this judgment a piece of land in Walker tp., belonging to Hawhe, was sold by sheriff s sale. Anderson himself bought the 1 finds, moved on and largely improved the same. In the March term of the Jasper circuit court. Hawke obtained a verdict settings aside the former judgment in Anderson’s favor, and under which the land had been sold. In the June term Hawhe obtained a further judgment against Anderson giving her possession of the land and in addition damages and costs to the amount pf S3OO. These misfortunes have preyed so heavily upon the mind of the mother of Mr; Anderson that she. is reported to have lost her reason.

The Monon management are again talking very positively about moving their shops from New Albany to some more central location, and there is but little reason to doubt that the removal will soon be definitely decided upon. CrawfDTdsX'ille’~arrd- ~Lafayet-te-arre-again exerting themselves to make., the best offers for the shops, and the former city is said to have offered a large tract of land and a bonus of $60,000 for the works. The railroad editor of the Indianapolis Journal inclines to the opinion that neither Lafayette nor Crawfordsville are likely to get these shops, and that our neighboring town of Monon will come out ahead of her big rivals, in the end. The Journal says: “The rumor is revived that the L., N. A. & C. company is to build new shops, and the good people of Lafayette are again oh the alert to secure them. The only objection to Lafayette securing the new shops is the fact they are not really on the L., N. A. &. C. main line. The Indianapolis or Airline division is the portion of the system that is coming rapidly to the front, and gives promise of being the big paying portion of the road. Therefore, it is quite likely that the management will, when they build shops, locate them at Monon.”
