The officials of the Penna. Ry Co., which corporation is half owner of the I. & St. L. Ry., are in Indianapolis and are preparing the papers to file with the United States Court, asking that there be a receiver appointed for the road. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company became possessor of one halfot the I. and St. L. through the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, which guaranteed as well that half of the rental of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute road, which was leased to the I. aud St. L, would be paid, the other onehalf being guaranteed by the Cleveland, Columbia, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad Company,-for some years past operating the road and paying the rental, had incurred a heavy loss to the Ptnnsyl vania Railroad Company last year, amounting to $450,000, as stated in President Roberts' annual report. The Penasylvania Company have become heartily sick of this enormous leak, which increases annually, rather than diminishes, and some few weeks ago offered to give President Vanderbilt the $300,000 of stock which they held of the Indianapolis and St. Louis proper, providing Mr. Vanderbilt would relieve them of the guarantee the PennsplvanJa people give, that one-half the rental of the St. L. T. H. and A. shall be paid. Mr. Vanderbilt failing to accept this proposition, steps are now being taken to place the property in the hands oftbtfeourts.

From Wednesday's Dally. KILLED BY THE CARS.

Conductor Burton's west bound I. & St. L. freight train No 27 ran over head brakeman James H. Clay borne about two and-a-half miles north east of town shortly before eight o'clock last night. He was not missed until the train reached this city when his lantern was found on the second car. Traces of blood were discovered on the wheels and the horrible suspicion of his fate dawned on the crew of the train. Yardmaster Trowbridge took out a switch engine aad made a search for the body which was found terribly mangled. .The head had been severed from the trunk and lay on the inside of the rails.

It is surmised that the unfortunate man left his lantern on the second car and started back without it and forgetting that the fifth car was not a box but a flat car missed his footing in the dark and fell under ths wheels with the awful result as narrated above.

The remains were brought to this city and turned over to Coroner Laughead. As the crew has cone on to St. Louis no inquest can be held until their return and the body is now in charge of Undertarker Isaac Ball.

The deceased was a resident of St. Louis where he had a wife and two children. Claybornewas thirty years old. He had only been on the road about two weeks. He stayed usually on the engine and started back to set the brakes for the C. & E. I. crossing.

Business is uow virtually suspended on the road and a floating debt, besides the mortgage debt of nearly $1,000,000, is hanging over the property, and they want a man to take the road and pay off this debt. Mr. Genis, it is stated, has expressed a willingness to retire, and L. £. Case, a Wisconsin railroad man. is spoken of as his successor. From parties who are conversant with the condition ot the road it is learned that a large sum ef money must be expended upon the roadbed betore it can be successfully operated, and better terms for their entrance into Peoria will have to be made than the arbitrary terms which have existed heretofore.

THE ROGERS' BOND CASI

FiS

The Trial of it Begun in the Superior a Court This Morning.

THE ISSUES INVOLVED.

From Friday'8 Daily. SUPERIOR COURT.

The Newton Rogers bond case is now on trial. Yesterday the court sustained the demurrer of the plaintiff, State of Indiana ex. rel. Andrew Grimes, who, as auditor of Vigo county, is prosecutor of the suit, to the amended second paragraph of the answer of the defendants. All the defendants with the exception of John N. Miller filed pleas of payment and the plaintiff filed a reply to those

leas. Newton Rogers ana John N. filed their demurrers, which were overruled and exceptions taken,

This morning a jury was impanneled to try the cause which has taken up so much of public attention. The jury selected was composed of the following: John S. Koonce, Howard T. Carson, Napoleon B. Kennett, Alfred B. Pegg. Charles W. Moore, John C. Meyer, Win. Bloekson, James H. Crabb, Wm. Young, Phillip Erwin, Benjamin F. Bolinger and Samuel II. Silvers.

Judge C. F. McNutt made the opening statement on behalf of the plaintiff. He told the jury what he expected to prove, the main allegation made being that Newton Rogers at the expiration of his first term failed to pay over te himself, as his own successor, the monies that bud come into his hands. Upon this the suit against tbe first bondsmen rests.

Col. W. E. McLean, in his opening statement to the jury on behalf of the defendants, said that the case was something like this: Newton Rogers was elected Treasurer of ,Vigo county at the November election, 186. He took office on the 22nd of August, 1877, previous to which time he filed an official bond lie was re-elected to the office in 1878, and succeeded himself in August, 1879. Before beginning his second term he filed another bond. Suits has been brought on both of these bonds. The suit now on trial is that against the first bondsmen. The law says the Treasurer shall once a year make a settlement with the Board of County Commission' s. showing his disbursements and tbe amouut of money in the treasury. While Rogirs was in office, he made four settlements. The Board of Commissioners have control of the financial department of the county. A statute makes it mandatory with the Treasurer to exhibit his monies at least once a year to this board. The main point at issue is this: whether Rogers failed to turn over to himself, as his own successor, all the monies that had come into his hands. There is no way of ascertaining thin. The first visible breach of the bond was when the office was turned over to Centenary A. Ray, when the shortage was discovered. Col. McLean admitted a deficiency at the end of the second term, but as to the first term said there is no law on the statute books prescribing how a Treasurer shall settle with himself. Newton Rogers, Treasurer for the first term, is one party and Newton Rogers, Treasurer for the stcond term, is another. The office is a continuity and each term is distinct and separate from the other.

Auditor Andrew Grimes was the first witness. He is introduced to prove the records, and is on the stand as we go to press. There are about two dozen lawyers in the case. Things promises to be hot.

The Spg$ch of Judge Morrison) of Chicago, at Dowling Hall Last Night.

IRISH RIGHT VS-SAXON WRONG-

Singing by Misess McEwan and Jeffers and a Recitation by Miss Alice Fisher.

THE IRI8H OWE NO RENTS

From Saturday's Daily.

P. B. O'Reilly was chosen chairmari of the St. Patrick's day excrcises at Dowling Hall last night. The hall was filled. A number of American citizens were present and at times were quite as enthusiastic as the sons of Erin themselves. On the stage sat the Chairman, Hon. N. G. Buff, Maurice Haggerty, President of the Land League organization of this city, and Judge A. L. Morrison, of Chicago. Behind them were the national flags of the United States and Ireland. Miss May McEwan sang "The Kerry Dance" in her own Bweet, charming manner, and perfectly captivated the audience. In response to an encore she

§'isher

ave"Auld Lang Syne." Miss Alice recited very effectively apiece entitled "Church Discipline," and was called out a second time. Miss Helen Jeffers sang "Home Sweet Home" and sang so well that the audience pressed her for an encore, but she declined owing to illhealth. Albert Wyeth proved to be a very efficient accompanist.

Chairman O'Reilly said he did not expect to see 60 many present, but bad weather could not keep his countrymen from celebrating St. Patrick's Day. He said the committee intentionally did away with the street parade, so as to reserve the outlay that would be thus expended for abetter and a nobler purpose. (Applause.) With these few preliminary remarks Mr. O'Reilly introduced the speaker of the evening, a prepossessing little man, who advanced calmly to the footlights and began his speech. He spoke slowly and deliberately at the start, but after awhile he warmed up and the fire, passion and splendid oratory of the man, burst forth like molten lava from a volcano. Judge Morrison has a national reputation as a public speaker. In style, gestures and delivery he is another Gough. While speaking he walks to and fro acroes the platform every portion of his body is brought into play every motion, every gesture is part of his oratory, and serves to heighten it His peroration was passionate, yet it appealed to the mind it was full of fire, yet it did not reduce itself to rant.

He began by saying that there is no civilized nation in the world that does not celebrate one or more days to some great citizen or saint, or in commemoration of some great deed or achievement in France the name of St. Dennis was for centuries^the battle cry, aad his name was SIJO.U' don a thousand battlefields even Scotland, a mere providence of the British empire, year after year celebrates a national holiday a select knot of Britons annually revere the memory ot Saint David. England's notion of a saint is a half clad man on horseback, seemingly vomiting a lot of Fourth of July fire-crack-ers (laughter). America Is not prolific in saints. There are many good people in this cDuntry, but they have not blossomed out so far into saints (laughter). America, to3, has a day—a day when our forefathers assembled at Philadelphia and attached their immortal names to the chart, the only great chart, of human libertyi Before that time no nation had the courage to declare that all men were created equal. Upon this rests ihe magnificent superstructure of American independence.

The speaker said the celebration of the day was not confined to Catholics, for he himself has a Presbyterian friend who will have it no other way than that Patrick was a Presbyterian (laughter). The speaker would not quarrel with iin, for so long as he celebrated the day along with the rest of us, he caa call Patrick anything he likes (laughter). The speaker sketched the birth, boyhood aud achievements of St. Patrick at some length and said: "Our American friends wonder why the shamrock is held in such sacred reverence. It is this: All the great chieftains of Ireland had assembled at Tara to hear Patrick explain his strange doctrine. They doubted his explanation of the Trinity. Patrick was standing upon the green turf. He stooped and picked up a shamrock, saying "Behold—three in one!" This simple symbol, it ie recorded, converted his entire audience.

The speaker dwelt largely upon the tyrannical rule of Ireland by England, tracing it from the time it was invaded by the Duke of Normandy, the illegitimate son of Robert the Devil, in the eleventh century, down to the present time. He contrasted the childish submission of the Engilsh to the Normans at Hastings, to the determined struggle by the etill unconquered people of Ireland for the last severf centuries. He said persons who boast of their Anglo-Saxon lineage Jgljt to know who their ancestors were, and then they might not be so proud of them. This system of robbery h&b been kept up for seven hundred years, and is the same system we are now trying to overthrow.

Continuing, the speaker said: "But we pay back this hatred ten-fold. 1 hate England more than my father did. This may not be Christian-like, but it is intensely Irish. (Applause.) What we want is what the Americans won in the war of the revolution. II England rules by tbe Roman maxim, "Divide and Conquer," we will take the opposite, "Unite and Conquer.'' The land belongs to us. The landlords have no title to it but that of robbery. American law says that if I am robbed of my watch and tbe watch changes hands one hundred times it is my watch wherever I find it (Applause.)

I know what the suspension of the

habeas corpus act is. I have not lain in an English dungeon for six months for nothing. (Applause.) In America the honest man is at liberty and the dishonest in jaii in Ireland the thief is at large and the honest man is in jail The people owe no rent to these men, far the land is theirs. No chain of circumstances can give a good title to stolen property."

The speaker thanked the American press for their part in the movement. At the conclusion of his speech Judge Morrison was loudly cheered.

Hon. N. G. Buff made a few closing remarks, and the meeting then adjourned.
