THE Supreme Court of this State
has recently made a decision which is
calculated to make farmers, living on
the lines Of railroads, open their
eyes. The court holds that persons
living upon the lines of railroads in
this State, cannot allow their stock to
run at large, so as to endanger the
safety of passing trains, without being
legally obligated fer all damages that
may ensue from such stock being run
over. and throwing the train off the
track. .ss...-. t...
The circumstances in the case de-
cided upon were as follows:
: A COW belonging to a farmer who
lived upon. the line of the Pittsburg.
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad,
in one of the northern counties of
this State, ran upon the track in front
of an advancing train, throwing the
train off the track, badly wrecking il,
and injuring several persons. The
railroad company sued the owner Of
the cow for the full amount of dam
age. caused the train. by the accident,
and recovered, In the lower court. a
verdict for $1,000 An appeal was
taken by the farmer to the Supreme
Court ssefE Indiana, aud the court af-
firmed the verdict Of the court be-
low, holding the farmer for the full
amount OF the damages assessed.

I'D RAILROAD delegations from South
Kentucky and Southeastern Illinois
made a pilgrimage last mouth to Chi
cage, for the purpose of diverting the
Mattoon and GRANVILLE Road from the
latter point to Shawneetown. We be-
lievethe success was not commensur-
ate with the expectations of the dele
gates. The Chicago capitalists could
not see any money in it, and gave the
enterprise the cold shoulder. The
more popular idea is to run the
road to GRANVILLE, and hence to this
point, connecting with the Henderson
and Nashville Road, and thence with
all points South.

THE Lafayette folks are making
strong efforts to have the railroad
shops of the Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago road moved from New
Albany to their city. The Courier
says the road is treated badly by the
New Albanyites. and that the shops
will add materially to the prosperity
Of Lafayette, 1t is proposed to raise
money enough to put up as good
buildings in Lafayette as those now
used by the company in New Albany,
and carry the enterprise through in
that manner. If the project proves
successful, it will be a sorry joke on
our friends up the river.

i! abroad Matters.

The people Of Southern Illinois are
still agitated on the subject Of Rail
roads. The citizens Of Wabash vote
on the fourth of next January on a
proposition to raise $75 600 for the
Vincennes and Cairo Road, said
amount to be given as bonus to the
Company who will construct the road
and then keep it in running order.
There is little doubt concerning the
result. 1t IS such an easy matter TO
vote money away that the people sell
dom lose an opportunity of doing So
1t looks so important, too, for men
who are not worth $75, 10 vote for
appropriating $75, 900 as though it was
their own, that few can resist the
temptation. In the present instance,
however, we think the people of Wa
bash County will act wisely-if by
donating the money they can secure
the road-to make the desired appro-
priation. .ru
The donation asked for by General
BURNSIDE to complete the road from
Vincennes to Cairo, is 100000. OF
this amount S574,50O have been Sc
cured in town and county bonds,
leaving the sum of 1925 800, or about
one-third, to be raised. The Wabash
County subscription of $4,000, de-
Quoted from this, leaves the deficiency
s140;500 This, Gen. RAUM expects
to get from the town of Vincennes
and citizens on the line of the road.
I We apprehend the General willrealize
just here the 'Ttug of war" Vim
cennes is already loaded down with
railroad debts, and if her people au-
thorize the issue Of more bonds to the
amount Of $4,000, it will be very
difficult to place them with any salts
faction. To call for Individual sub
,scriptions to the amount of. 100000,
will be very much like calling spirits
from the vastly deep. But may success
attend the enterprise. 35a. GIT
