THE CHICAGO & EASTERN ILLINOIS.
The Official Changes Not for a Want OF
Harmony.

The Official Changes Not for a Want of
HarmOny
correct statement of the facts regarding the
changes in the officers of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois road has not yet been made. Inthe first
place, the Eastern Illinois stockholders have al.
ways controlled the road, and the change in the
presidency was caused by the unwiningness of
Mr.. Story, of Boston. to continue longer in that
ONCE, from his inability to devote the needed
time to his affairs. The new President, Horace
H. Stevens, of Boston, is we'll known in finan-
cjal circles in Boston and in New York, and un-
der his care there is no doubt monetary matters
will be intelhgenulY managed. As TO how much
truth there is in the reported feeling against Mr..
Maekay. of the Evansville e. Terre HAute road.
Il can only be said that The meeting which
elected the new officials also elected Mr.. Mackay
80 the hoard of directors, and the stockholders
az the Evansville road eleGted the new president
and VieeIpresidenb of the Eastern Illinois on the
Evansville road unanimously, a few days later.
The Boston Herald SAYS the consolidation of
these TIVE roads is just as earnestly desired by
the stockholders and officials of one road as the
Rthtr. and in II comparatively brief time will
probably cease to he "A matter of discussion by
becGming a fact. the stockholders of both roads
having approved consolidation, leaving it with
abe directors to fix the time when 1t shall take
effect. The delay is caused by the suit in which
7he Eastern Illinois is involved and now pend
Sug before Judge Blodget at Chicago, A deci-
sion ID expected within a few weeks.

Robbed by Masked Men.

On Saturday night, while the family of Will
liam Fox, a farmer living on the Michigan road,
six miles west of the city, were at supper, three
masked men broke in upon them with drawn
revOlvers, and while two of them kept the
people in subsection the third searched them
and the house, taking S12O in cash, a gold
watch and a new Winchester rifle from Mr.. Fox,
SIG from his son and Sc from the servant girl,
after which the intruders fastened away. They
wore scarts about the lower parts of their faces,
and their eyes were covered by huge goggles"
Nil. Fox has no idea who they were. The rob-
berry had evidently been carefully planned, and
was executed with much holiness and celebrity.

THE FARBIANS AGAIN,
The Household Effects of John Farman
Put Out in the Street by the Sheriff.

1t seems that there is little probability of a
speedy end of the legal complications arising
over the settlement of the estate Of the late
Francis +. Farman. BY what was thought to
be n final settlement, it was agreed that the
residence property at the corner of South and
Mississippi streets, occupied by John Farman,
a brother of the dead man, should 90 TO the
minor heirs of the latter, but Farman refused
to give possession. Suit was brought and a writ
OF ejectment put in the hands of the sheriff to be
served. Mr.. Hess stated to a journal reporter
yesterday that Farman threatened to kill any
deputies that might come near him, but they
came just the same yesterday morning, and be-
gan to put Farman's household effects out IN
the street. An exceedingly animated scene en-
sued. Mrs. Farman openly declared that
"seven devils straight from he'll" couldn't
evict her, but the sheriff remarked
that he thought he would accomplish that re-
suit, with the four he had with him. Quite a
crowd gathered about the house, attracted by
dren, but Farman himself made no further de-
tense than with his tongue, which, however, he
used with an astonishing vlgOr. Finally a tenn
pOrary truce was patched up, and he agreed 10
move out peaceably, early in the afternoon. Two
deputy sherltfs were left 30 report progress, anc
at 4 O'Clock they telephOned to the office that
Farman was not doing as he promised. Mr..
Hess JhereupOn sent bob" Harding down to
the house to finish the JOB, and at last accounts
hustled into the street with vigor and expedl-
ton.

U-NMIsTAKABLY HEREDITARY.
We got some of Swift's Specific and gave it to
this case, and in a short while it was cured sound
and well. 1t was as bad a case, I think, as lever
saw, and had been under excellent physicians
with no permanent benefit. We have been Civ
ing it to all the children as a health tonic. We
have four children and one seamstress who. for
years, have suffered intensely every spring with
erysipelas, and though they had been taking
Swifu's Specific only in small doses as a health
tonic, they all, without exception, passed
through this spring without Il touch of the COM
paint.
A young lady of the institution. who has been
with us for years, has been troubled with a INST
aggravated rash ever since she was n child. She
tried all the known remedies thar are prescribed
for it, with no benefit, but she has been cured by
taking SwIfts Specific, and has had no return of
the trouble.
It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the
blood so pure, that the system Is less liable to
contract disease. All of the teachers ana chill
dren who are old enough TO know agree with me
in believing il is the greatest medicine known.

A HEAVY EXPENSE.

railroad Companies Chatting Under the Cost
of switching Service.
But few indianapolis coal and lumber dealers
and manufacturers who have switches leading
TO their places OF business seem to be aware or
the greater cost railroad companies running In
here are subjected TO in delivering their freight
than they would be If there was more prompt
ness in unloading ears and more care exercised
in the ordering of cars before a private switch Is
cleared to deliver them. The superintendent
of an Indianapolis road showed the railroad re-
porter cases where the delivery of the cars after
reaching indianapolis cost 81 more than the
transportation of the freight from point of ship
ment to indianapolis, so many times was an at
tempt made to deliver the car before 1t was re-
lceived. But fully as annoying is it to the rail
road companies to hold a car In their
yards day after day, awaiting an order
Iof time cars eften stand on side tracks Without
unloading after they have been delivered to
business houses Is another very trying feature OF
the switching service. The same suphrintend-
-eBt, in the presence of the reporter, counted up
some thirty cars which had been delivered fifteen
TO thirty days, where the party had failed TO I'M
load the cars, and, consequently, they were
out Of service this length of time, when they
greatly needed them. One case, in particular,
Is worthy of note, where a carload OF lumber
had been placed on the side-traek to he un-
loaded Sept. %, and was still there. The freight
on this car was 81. 80. The car had been stand
ing on that side-track thirty-three DAYS. sup
posing this car to be worth but 40 cents per day
20 the railroad company, the road would
have been better off never to have hauled
the freight. Then the cost of deliv-
cry and hauling the car home, Is TO
be added to this loss of service. shippers may
pass this by as not q serious matter, but it really
is, nevertheless. There are 1853 switches to coal
and lumber yards and manufacturing establish
ments in this city, and the expense is so great
TO the railroad companies TO perform this
switching service that they are fretUing underlt,
and the organizing OF a company to do all this
switching service is being again seriously agita-
ted. Then business men who are now furnished
these facilities may expect TO pay more and pay
.demurage as well on ears after a certain number
of hours are allowed for unloading a car. Parties
who now, doubtless carelessly, allow the roads
10 bring cars to their switches a half dozsu
times before receiving them, or allow loaded
cars to remain in the railroad yards several days
after arrival, will then better appreciate the adj
yantages OF the present ar-rangement.

A Fall in Wheat.

Farmer Morrow, at Ben Davis, finds that farm
ing is not all unmixed pleasure and profit. He
had very carefully garnered his wheat crop, ana
began to count on the shekeIs it would bring,
hoping soon to count the shekels themselves;
but he was awakened yesterday morning by a
crash at the barn, which proved to be the fall
ing of his wheat bin and the Cmptying of the
contents upon the ground below. 1t was a
genuine fall of wheat, not of margins this time,
resulting in a loss of some ten TO fifteen bushels.

The Brightwood Suits.

On Saturday the town of Brightwood. through
Its trustees, instituted suit against the Stock
yards and Belt railroad companies demanding
5000 damages, because these companies had
extended the Belt road over certain streets in

a demand was made for an injunction to pre-
vent them from further maintaining and operat-

terday n similar suit was begun, the only differ
ence being that the Union Railway Company
is made a co-defendant.

Weakness of the Pacific Stocks.

The stocks of the Union and Central Pacific
roads yesterday touched prices within pa per
cent. of the lowest at which they have been
sold in the last four years. Several of the other
leading dividend-payers sold at prices only
from 4 to 6 per cent. higher than the lowest in
dour years. These stocks have earned and paid
dIv1dends through the depression and u~nsettle-
'nent OF confidence during. the last two years,
ana, unless IL is assumed that the general bust
ness and railroad situation Is to be worse than
AT present, there seems to be little excuse for
Rhis bear mOYement.
