nTThe Evansville Journal in a recent
able editorial article, says the Locomotive, no.
tees the fact that Willard o~arpenter & Co.,
the contractors on the Evansville, indianapolis
and Cleveland Straight Line Railroad, met
their late estimate, rs heretofore, promptly
with the cash, and we see that the company
have given notice in the New York Tribune,
that the semi-annual interest Coupons on their
out standing bonds, falling due on the first
of January, will be paid at the Office of Field,
Merritt & Co, No. AZ Dye Street. This should
be highly gratifying to the stockholders and
friends of that important work, and should
inspire entire confidence in the good faith and
and perseverance, of the contractors, and the
prudent and economical management of the
affairs ofthe Company in these stringent times
that have Frustrated so many other works.
Evansville, and the White River Valley, and
our own City, all have a deep interest in the
completion of this important work, and should
give TO it the aid necessary to its completion
at an early day.

OF Governor Wright informs us that the
Treasurer of State has already forwarded %
New York, to the Agent of State, the Janua-
ry interest upon our Public Debt, without
borrowing a dollar. We think it is a wise
decision that the Governor has come To. not
TO have an extra session of the Legislature.
Ii they were once called together, the fnan-
ees OF the State would suffer and no good ac-
eomplished. The old maxim is true, "the
world is governed too much,' and no people
have felt it more than Indianians.

ANOTHER FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
A man named George e.. Hutchinson, n resi-
dent of this city was killed by his head com
ing in contact with a bridge near Guilford, on
the indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad,ye
terdav. The deceased was a most estimable
man aud leaves a wife and child to mourn
their irreparable loss. This is the third fatal
| accident from the same cause that has occurred
on this road within the last two weeks, to say
nothing Of some five others which had oc-
Cured previously. A heavy responsibility
for these repeated accidents lies somewhere,
and the company owe it to themselves to
remedy the evil if in their power to do so.

RAILROADS AND THE STATE CONVENTION.
Inquiries have been made of us as to whether
the Railroads centering at this point would
make the usual arrangements fer carrying
passengers at half price TO and from the 9Th
of January Convention. The Jeffersonville
company (Which is always liberal aud public
spirited on such occasions) has, we under
stand, agreed to such an arrangement. We
have not heard of the determination of tho
other companies, but we have no doubt they
will agree to do the same. The fact, how
ever, should be ascertained at the earliest
moment, so that it can be made known TO
those DESTROYS Of attending.

tons:
The Convention ro-asscmblcd at hali-past
SIX, and after a couple of hours spent in the
discussion of various topics connected with
the position of the party, and the proper
course to he pursued ly the press, agreed to
endorse the Peoples platform of July 18th,
1854, and Its rc-ailimation last July. Ike
following Is the resolution unanimously adop-
ted.
ResolUei, That as editors, opposed to the
Old-Line party, we mutually agree to do our
best to unite the people of Indiana on tho

SHIPMENT OF HOGs.-A much larger num-
Der of hogs have been shipped from this
point up to the present time this season, than
during the same period of any previous year.
The Jacksonville Company have already
shipped and have in their pens 3S,64O. The
Central Company have shipped 5000, and
the Beliefontaine 1902, making the total thus
far 56,922.
The whole number of hogs carried by the
trains OH the Jacksonville road from the va
rious points on that road, since the LIST OF
December, Gncluding 1900 in pens,) $685.
500. The total number carried on the Cen
trail road is 6 5000, and the total number car
ried by the Bellefontaine road (estimated) is
10000.
We have not yet received a report from eli
Their the Cincinnati road, whose showing will
foot up over 100000, nor have we heard from
the Madison and indianapolis road, which
has also been transporting a very large mum
Der. We shall in a few days, however, pre-
sent TO our readers a full report of the ship
ments OH all the roads, and they will doubt
less be surprised at the number.

rious establishments is about 5000.
There ara still a large number of hogs re-
manning in the country unsold, and from all
we can gather the crop of this year is fully
one-thiid in excess of last. We have every
reason to believe that hogs will yet go down
to 81 so, if not lower, in this market, before
the killing season closes. There is nothing
whatever to sustain the present pr.ces; but
there are many things to induce the prudent
man to look ahead for "breakers."

acter was recently performed in England on q
soldier named Thomas Dance, belonging to

for the second time, in consequence of the
frightful injuries he received by being bitten
by ferOcious horse in the Crimea. Dance
was engaged at Balaklava in drawing water
FOR troops, and whilst so occupied saw horse,
with name and tail erect, galloping furiously
towards him. In q moment the horse seized
him in his mouth, threw him down, and kneel-
ing on his body with his fore legs, commenced
tearing his clothes off, lacerating his breast
and shoulder in frightful manner The
poor fellow put out his hand to protect the
lower part of his body, when the animal
seized it in his mouth and bit it off Some OF
comrades coming to his succor, armed with
stout clubs, the ferocious beast was beaten off
Before, however, the horse could be secured
he bit off the finger of another man, and &c.
verely injured the shoulder of the veterinary
surgeon Of the regiment. He was of Arab
breed. Dances arm was amputated lust
above the wrist; he was soon afterw ards sen,
to England. 1t was found necessary TO am.
putate the remaining portion of the arm, and
he is now doing well.-SOuthpssterA (Euq.
