A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT. Indianapolis Journal: Monday night the Vandalia express west was oue of the largest and handsomest regular trains ever hauled out of the Union Depot. It consisted of thirteen cars, which, with the exception of the two postal and express cars, were painted Tuscan red, and recently out of the shops. As the train moved out and the gilded letters on the coache9, "Vandalia," passed out, the effect of the electric lights was grand.

CHANGES ON THK C. A S. I.

Conductor Lacy of the night run on the C. & E. I. is off duty on account of fickness. His run will be taken by conductor Admiral who has had the Watscka accomodation train and his place in turn will be filled 1$ George Werk, who has run the train trom Watseka to Chicago. One change causes many others and as a consequence Werk's place must be filled and will he with baggageman Norris,

STATION AOENT KILLED.

Last evening Mr. Fletcher, agent tor the Vandalia at St Jacob.s Ills., died form injuries received during the day. He was in a handcar holding to the rope at the near end of a caboose when he was jurked off in such way as to be ran over by the car and fatally injured.

THE PENNSTCLVANA MEDICINE BOX. Each train on the Pennsylvania Railway is to le provided with a medicine box, containing this outfit.

One rubber compress, 1 package absorbent cotton, 6 rolls of bandages, pyramid of pins

This outfit must always be kept up, nnd when anything is needed requisition should be made at once.

Directions—When an arm or leg is crushed causing hemorrhage, pass compress around limb immediately above injured part. In case of rupture, if a vein, tying it lightly until arrival of surgeon.

The rupture of an artery can be distinguished by the color of the blood, which is red ana spurts out, while a vein has black blood and flows continuously.

For wounds on the head or face apply absorbent cotton and bind with a bandage.

MONEY PILING CP IN RAILROADS. Money is going into new railroads fn immense amounts. The $5,000,000 of 6 per cent. Northern Pacific railroad bonds recently offered were taken immediately at 102% or half of 1 per cent above the rate for which the previous $20,000,000 were sold, and there were bids lor $2,500, 000 more.

Hereafter two watchmen will be stationed at the I. & St. L. Otter Creek bridge as the former watchman alone was unable to cope with tramps.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Evansville and Terre Haute load will be held in Evansville, Oct. 16.

Anna (111.) Advocate: Last Saturday there was shipped from Cobden station the enormous quantity of twenty-two cars of tomatoes, being, we have no doubt, the largest shipment ever made of that fruit from any one place at one time. The total shipments for the last week amounted to over 100,000 Ixjxes, or over 83,000 bush els. Verily it is getting to be a big business. 71

Wabash H«lllag mill. Will Long has accepted the position of night engineer in the place of LanaoctPalmer, resigned.

The mill is running full force witk plenty of orders ahead. The second division of the First district, at Wheeling, West Virginia, receives an advauce to day of 25c per ton above Pittsburg rates. It is not known yel what tffect this will have at Pittsburg and furthest west.

John Pickerton, who nas been w»rkiii2 at the upper mill, hss returned home to Wheeling, since the strike there is ended.

The office of the mill is extended on the north. Seatli A. Hager.

The car works are running full time. Orders received last week iimount to2,050 curs.

The force will soon be increased to 000, the full complement. An order from the Pittsburg und Western railway, received last week, calls for 1,500 cars—1,000 coal cars, and o00 box cars.

The Nail Warki.'

The full force is woiking. A car load of nails was sent this week, clear to Dallas, Texas.

The helpers' strike only lasted ooa day. at the lower mill. The men went lo wDrk Friday at the old prices.

Jake Mayer, drag-out, has been rtry sick. Harvey Kyle nod Ed. Lockard,helpers, have quit work at the mill.

An immense amount of scrap iron wa» received last week. The Wheeling strike, which ended aty successfully tliure Saturday, hns continued four months, and was under the care ot the Amalgamated Association. The mills included in the strike, aud which receive the benefit of the raise, extend all along the Ohio river, from PittfcfHug to Cincinnati—eleven mills in all.

Several Wheeling men, who have been, in Terre Haute during the strike, went home Fiiday.

Cincinnati has no nail works. Joseph Clay, a nailer, returned from Duncanmore, Pa., Saturday.

Thos Perry, of the nail plate mill, iairo Delaware Co., Ohio, settling hid mother's estate.

It is projected to put five new double puddling turnacts in the mill, and 45 new nail machines. The men want them, but the company is still deliberating upon their purchases. In the nail plate department. only six instead of eight heats were made to-day, so as to givt the boys a chance to attend the big game ot base ball.

W. G. Davie, ot the nail works, with his wife, is at Ballair, Ohio, visiting relatives. His eons are in charge of the mill.

It is rej)Orted that at three o'clock every morning, Mat Hughes takes up his position in the cinder pile to study the comet.

Joe. Davis and Ollie Glover went to Brazil to examine the new rolling mill there.

Con Mahare was nearly frozen Thursday morning, watching for the comet. It was daylight before Con realized that the clouds were in the way.

Will Williams and Howell Thomas were in such a hurry to reach the depot, when they heard that the Voungstown strike was over, that they raised the dust in the road, notwithstanding there had just been a big rain.

Anew iron water tank is to replace the old wooden one. It was made by Henry Hild, and will be put in place this week. It measures eight feet high and ten feet wide.

BAD ON BILL

The Clay County Authorities Actually Refuse To fiive Him Up to -i® Vigo.

Armed with an alias warrant from the Vigo County Criminal Court, Sheriff Stepp went over to Brazil, the county seat of Clay county and now chietiy remarkable because it containes within the gloomy confines of its jail the notorious Bill Hicks, for the purpose of inducing the sheriff of that county to release his grip on Hicks and al!o*r him to be transferred to Vigo count*, to be here produced in the Criminal Court and—well, nobody knows what then might follow. Jud^e Coffey was nut in Brazil and the sheriff absolutely refused to give up Hicks unless so ordered by the judge.
