Cincinnati, Jont-.nry I! ported that the .mth-Iuc of ii Clu-cai'-o. Cincinnati, liiriimond c eie, by the C. II. & I. and Peru Marquette railroad-, will be contested in the courts. C. C. & L. affairs have become muddled by the receivership o the purchasing roads, but W. A. Hradford, president of the C. C. & L. is determined th:it J. P. Morgan shall not abrogate the contract by Avhieh tie C. 11. & 1). and Pere Marquette assumed control of the road. Mr. Pradford has consulted some of the most eminent lawyers in the Fast and has been advised by them that the purchase of the C. C. & L. is valid, and that .7. P. Morgan must liv:' up to the contract and deliver the bonds for the road. Following a conference yesterday with dudson Harmon, receiver for the C. H. & D. and Pere Marquette, Mr. Bradford intimated that a suit would be brought in the United States court to compel Mr. Morgan to turn over the bonds for the C, C. & L. ' ' Kx-.l ude John V. Dillon and William Y. Cooke, author of Cooke on Corporations,' " said Mr. Bradford, "have examined the manner by which the C. C. & L. was purchased uetfe, ami th.'y are emphatic that the sale will stand and that the bonds ssued for the purchase of the road are valid. "J. P. Morgan purchased the C. II. & D. stock in September last and on October 12 he ratified the purchase of the C. C. & L.. Now he desires to repudiate his own act in October. "The C. IL & 1). hasoperated the C, C. & L. for about eighteen months. We had terminals'- in Cincinnati, yhich were leased to private individuals by the C. H. & D. without either my knowledge or approval. The C. II. & D. officials canceled our ninetv-nine-year contract for terminals in Chicago and took the material the C. C. & L. had there and used it else where on the road. The turntable at Miiuhton was taken away and the end cut off, and it was then set up by the C. II. & D. at Connersville. "I turned over the C. C. & L. to the C. H. & D. free of indebtedness. Now the floating debt runs up into the thousands. "The C. II. & ). took our best lo comotives and cars nnd used them scwherc. They did as they saw fit with the property. "I understand we are ordered out of the C II. & D. depot at Cincinnati. When it will take effect I do not yet know. The Avater from our water tank has even been cut off. Yes, I shall fill all vacancies on the official staff of the C. C. & L. in a few days. ' ' Mr. Bradford, it is reported, inti mates very strongly that the fur will soon fly, and that the highest court in the lan,d, if necessary, will be asked to pass on this question.

Wlhatever may be the outcome of the joint bill in the House it is becoming clearer every day that it will never get through the Senate. Washington Dispatch. OWEN JOHNSON, NOVELIST. HI "la tli Xnini of Liberty" anil KuMttiiiM devolution. "In the Xnfno of Liberty," Owen Johnson's second venture in fiction, appeared on the very eve of the upheaval in Russia, and h'n story of what Paris witnessed in IT'.'o during the ''terror" helps to a better understand in.g of the marvelous doings described in the neAVS dispatches from St. Petersburg and OWEN JOHNSON. Moscow. General .Horace Porter, for mer American ambassador to France recently said of this book: "I read 'In the Name of Liberty witt a great deal of interest and was impressed by the power of graphic de scription displayed by the author. Hi seemed to depict very vividly tlu scenes enacted in Paris duriug the 'terror. It has been said by a French critic discussing the construction of French dramas that that period in French history was so dramatic it could not be dramatized. Mr. Johnson in the form of a romance ha3 brought the stirring incidents of that appalling crisis before the reader in a most dramatic manner. The book seems to have a peculiar attraction for the reader at the present time because of the reign of terror iu Russia. I knew Mr. Johnson in Faris and for several years found him a dill gent student of French history and traditions. He Hiere familiarized himselt with the many scenes woven into his story and without this preparatior could not have depicted the daily lift of the Paris streets during the 'terror so graphically."

4 t, - ft i,ico WORTH WERE SOLD AT PANHANDLE STATION RAILROADS ARE REGAINING Much of Trade Lost to Interurban Lines So th3 Officials Say. The passenger business of the railroads in this city is enormous, great er than ever before at this season of the year when travel is heaviest. The officials say that never before were so many tickets sold and even the business to Knightstown find (Jreenfield, which has amounted to almost nothing since the completion of the. interurban railways, has sprung up again. According to Ceorge Ilouser, assistant a iron t at the Union station, between .1.0()0 and 1.100 worth of tickets avc re sold ou last Saturday, and much of this was for local traffic, or for trips of less than oik hundred miles. The through traffic is also heavy and every day many tickets are sold to points in California and Florida, and other parts of the south, Avhere people go to spend the Avinter. On the through trains berths are at premium, although extra cars are being added continually. The railroads are enjoying what seems to be a season of unparalleled passenger traffic, and it is expected that the gross receipts as well as the net earnings, will be materially enlarged by the winter traffic. NO EVIDENCE OF GDILT JUDGE CONVERSE EXCUSED ORVTLLE BRUNSON. Was Charged With Cruelty to AnimalsArrested on Information Which Was Unreliable. Orville Brunson, who was arrested Monday for alleged cruelty to animals was found not guilty in police court this morning. , . , It appears that Brunson who is a teacher in the Garfield school, ordered a pupil to take a stray dog from the building. The dog would not be led from the building so Brunson told the boy to drop it from a window ; on the first floor only a few. feet from the "-round. The dog in alighting , broke n le1" and it 7s due to this that UIOhe d 1 - a 11 1 Bnincnn "wna arrested runsxm was BWlcu- . After the dog had been injured Brunson had it sent to Dr. Hoover

7 - - -, ADVANCE OF COLD WEATHER FINDS SUFFICIENT SUPPLY IN LOCAL MARKET. Ai'iTHRAGiTE COAL SELLS Fcr Twenty-five Cents Merc Than Last Year Soft Coal Fluctuates. As yet, the cold avhvc Avbieli', prevails has caused no rio in the priei ;f coal in this city, and the suppK n hand is sufficient for an emergency of several days. Owing to the warm Avoather which Iras characterized the Avinttr, up to this time, there lias been no difference in getting the coal direct from the mines, and as the price is usually raised on account of difficulty of transportation, coal has been selling at the same price for the past two months. When ashed yesterday as to Avh ether the price would be boosted in case of protracted cold Aveather, E. K. Shera, coal ' dealer, said that unless the coal became tied up at the mines, the same prices AVould prevail, during the entire Avinter. In case the transportation facilities ai'e effected, it might be that there woidd be no Avay of securing coal except from the coal jobbers, who in a case of that kind, charge exhorbitantly for their fuel. He does not, however, expect such a contingency, but believes that there will be no trouble in supplying the city. Anthracite, or hard coal, is now selling for $7.75 per ton, the price being an advance of 25 cents over the maximum price of last year. Jackson and Winifred, the best of the soft coal varieties are selling for $5.00 and $4.50 respectively. Avhere its wound was dressed and the broken leg has healed completely. The arrest , was made at the instigation of several women who had been misinformed as to the facts of the case. No witnesses appeared against Brunson.
