THE JAY COOKE Sc rILEMENT.

RESULT OF THE VOTING NOT DEFINITELY
KNoWN-THE DECISION UNANIMOUS TO
TAKE THE ESTATE OUT OF BANKRUPTCY.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l6.-Although the de-
tails of the voting this morning, of the cred
itors of Jay Cooke q Co., for trustees and a
committee 10 settle the estate, will not be
officially annoup ced for several davs, it is
ascertained substantially that the following
results have been reached. A unanimous
decision in favor of taking the estate
out of bankruptcy proper, and the
winding up of its affairs by the
trustees and committee of creditors.
The vote has been unanimous for Edwin Nj.
Lewis, president of the Farmers and Me-
chanics national bank of Philadelphia, as
the trustee. The only material difference in
opinion among creditors has been on the
question whether the committee should con-
sist OF three, five or seven members. The
choice seems to have been in favor of the
committee of Eve, consisting of John Clay
ton, Isaac Norris and Robert Shoemaker of
Philadelphia, Charles p. Holferstein of
Pottsville, Pa, and Jas. Brown of Wilkes
barre Pa.

THE RACING SEASON.


TAKING TIME BY THE FORELOCK-MEETING
OF THE TURFMEN AT PERU.
1t seems that the patrons of the fast track
are preparing for the season in a systematic
way. On last Wednesday, January IA, a
meeting was held and an organization ef-
fected at Peru, Miami county, contemplating
series Of union races during the summer,
which were agreed on as follows: At Cam.
bridge City, Tuesday, June 2; Kokomo,
Tuesday, June 9; Peru, Tuesday, June l6;
Laporte, Tuesday, June o. Huntington,
Wednesday, July /, and to continue four
days at each place. The five trotting asso-
cations OF the above named places were all
represented at Peru, and the union associa-
ton organized by electing l.. L. Lawrence,
OF Cambridge City, as president, and E. G..
McCollum, leading lawyer of Laporte,
Secretary. President Lawrence set forth the
| objects OF the convention to be the arranging
of series of summer meetings as named, to
saving much trouble and expense in
transportation. The horse lovers have
| by this action set an example
of business calculation that is
worthy of emulation by other enterprises.
IL can now be seen at this early day just
what is to be done to advance the interests
OF the turf in Indiana this summer. Own
ers and parties Interested know what to de-
pend on and can make their calculations
intelligently. As.the notices are to be given
in the leading turf journals of the United
States, 1t may be presumed that both the
stock and management of the races will be
vast Improvement on what has been
/ known before in the state. The premiums
offered will be large and the regulations
liberal. The number of these and amounts
of the purses to be competed for are left to
the fiual determination of each society, and
these. together with the program adopted
by each society, will be forwarded to Secre-
tarv McCOllum. as early as March l. for
publication in the Union Pamphlet. A
resolution was adopted at Peru to the effect
that no horse should be barred from trot-
ting in any race held in this series, by rea-
son of beating the time prescribed in any
previous race, provided the entries be made
in the races to be trotted in the future, prior
to the time of making the record" Such
are the auspices for brilliant season on the
track, for which the gentlemen in charge
and the energetic beginning are guaranty

TEMPERANCE WORK

WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN GosPoRT-THE
BAXTER BILL AND THE "UNCoNSTITCTION-
Al sBCTIoN-A PREAMBLE-ALso, SOME
RESOLUTIONS.
The meeting held recently by the Gosport
union temperance association, at Gosport,
Owen county, have been largely attended,
not only by the people in that town and
vicinity, but from Indianapolis as well. That
tower of strength, the pillar of cloud by DAY,
and pillar of fire by night. Mr.. John Raw
was present at the last meeting, and re-
ports the proceedings of the association. A
preamble and resolutions annexed, were
adopted by them, as follows:
WHEREAS, Dram selling and dram drinking
produce drunkenness, misrule pauperiSIn and
crime as their legitimate fruit, imperiling life
and property TO a gre ater extent than all other
causes combined; and,
union temperance association in the enforce
ment of existing laws for the regulation and res
traint OF the liquor traffic, have greatly reduced
intemperance among us during the past year;
and,
MHEREAs, The Baxter Temperance law given
us by our last state legislature is in the Judg
ment OF this association, a most commendable
Improvement upon former restrictive legislative
enactments; and
WHEREAS, Theninth section of that law has
be en- pronounced technically unconstitutional by
three of our supreme court judges, two dissent
Resolved, /. That the sale or use OF Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, is sin against God and a
crime against humanity, and should be account
ed as such upon the statute book, and be punish
ed by pains and penalties, as other crimes and
mlsderneanors;
ResotUed, 2 That we will, as an association,
during the ensuing ear, be moro persistent and
courageous in our efforts TO enforce all the laws
for the restraint and suppression of the liquor
traffic; and more patient and uniting in our
endeavors TO save the falling, and lead them
again into the paths OF virtue and sobriety;
ReSOlUed, 8. That while we admit some impeT-
fe ection in the methods OF its execution. never
thegess most heartily commend and endorse
the Baxter temperance law, especially in the
stringency of its measures and its apprOxima-
ton toward the prohibition of the Infamous
rum traffic.
EesolUed, 4. That it is with feelings of pro-
found regret that we have learned of the adverse
decision of three of our supreme court judges
respecting the constitutionality of the ninth
section of the Baxter temperance law, and con-
gratulate the other two for the clearness, learn
ing and ability with which they have main
tained their dissent from that decision.
Resofref & That as nc Las can be thoroughly
executed without the earnest and faithful CO.
operation of ali the officers of law, we now
pledge ourselves that we win support no candi-
date for office who is not thoroughly in favor OF
stringent temperance legislation.
Res0tUed, 8. That a copyof the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions be furnished for publica-
ton in the Indianapolis morning papers and
county newspapers.

Benjamin Shanks has recently been made
mail agent on the G.. r. and /. Railroad from
Richmond to Grand Rapids. The Lagrange
Standard says: We rode from this city to
Fort Wayne last week in the mail car, and
witnessed the modus operandi of "breaking
in" the new recruit, by w. w. Goodrich.
Ben. is little awkward at first, but jealous
in the cause, and will make an excellent
agent, beside being a capital fellow. The III st
joke occurred in his being unable to find
Swan station, al hopgh he persists that Re

hand for two miles. Mr.. Goodrich is one Ct
tire best agents on the road, and has been
running every day since the 1st of December
in consequence of the sickness OF other
agents.

The Charlottesville Journal says that the
Anderson, Lebanon d st. Louis railroad
company has at no time stopped work, and
is now going forward more rapidly than for
some time, notwithstanding the financial
panic and discouraging times on like enter
prises. The enemies of the road have been
circulating reports that by the failure of
Colonel T. n. Stilwell's bank the company
had also suspended. Such is not the case,
for the work has never stopped, and will not
until the road is completed. The panic
compelled the company to reduce its
force, which will be increased when the
season opens. The suspension of Colonel
Stlwell had no effect whatever on the
road, nor did the road have anything
to do with his embarrassments. The presi-
dent and board of directors of the road are
determined to push it to completion at as
early day as possible. An assessment of
ten per cent has been made on the capital
stock, which was due December Is, 1873. Mr..
David kenworth, the treasurer, is now coll
lecting said assessment, and it is hoped the
stock holders will chesrfnlly respond. When
completed it Will be one o. the best routes
