INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 80.
In the local money market the demand still ex-
ceeds the supply, and per cent is freely
offered.
Business is fairly active, and shows quite an
improvement over last week.
Eastern exchange is very scarce. and would

Ohio River Observation-Disclosures
for Construction Awarded.

The proceedings of last week in
our Railroad circles, were of vast
Importance to Parkersburg and to
the interest, especially, Of all that
part Of our State tributary to the
Ohio Valley.
Last week the last vestige of
doubt in the minds of any as to
the early construction of the road
between Wheeling and Parkers-
burg was swept away by the action
of the Company and the Construc-
ton Company in closing up all ne
gotiations, letting and awarding
the construction contracts, so that
the work will at once proceed.
The @. r r. Directors met in
this city early in the week and
perfected the Company's contract
in all its elaborate details for the
building of the line from Parkers
our. to Wheeling.
The Ohio Valley construction
company take the contract, and
having the money in hand, will
complete the road during the com
ing season, taking in payment as
ths work progresses, the stock and
bonds of the Ohio River Railroad
Company.
On Friday last, the officers Of the
two companies met in Cincinnati,
where the numerous bids, adver-
tised for were finally opened and
considered. There were about 1870
bids put in, about thirty for the
construction of the entire line, the
others for sections and various por-
tions of the work.
The directors completed their
labors on Saturday after awarding
contracts as follows:
The contract for completing the
First Division from Benwood to
Proctor, distance of thirty miles,
was let to Geo. F. Mills & Co., OF
Holmesburg, Pa. The contract for
the completion Of the Second and
Third Divisions, from Proctor tc
Parkersburg, was awarded tc
Coleman, Page u Co., OF Akron, ..
The work is to be begun at once,
and to be completed for the run
ming of trains by the first day Of
December
Now, gentlemen farmer
friends between here and Point
Pleasant, if you want railroad
and daylight, secure the right O.
way as the friends above have done
and you sha be accommodated anc

Jennie Smiths Work.
The Meetings at the r. r. Shops.

The grand work for humanity in
which Miss Jennie Smith and her
companions in prayers and cares
and labors, are engaged, speaks
for itself. All along the line of the
B. & O. Road, wherever they have
tarried and toiled, there they have
left lively and growing monuments
in jealous bands of Christian work
ers. And as bright ornaments in
these rejoicing and fruitful memo
rials, are scores of men lifted by
the power Of divine grace, from
drunkenness. degradation and
shame, into lives Of joyous peace,
honor and usefulness.
In the past few days we have at
tended the meetings in the Railroad
shops, and have met Miss Smith as
a welcomed guest in our home,
and the more we see and know of
her and her work, the more are we
impressed with her absorbing de-
votion and entire conservation to
her mission in the special field
wherein she is called to labor.
Her one consuming desire seems
to be to feed the hungry with the
bread Of life, and to lift up the
fallen to a safe and sure footing, or
rather to seek out these and by
prayer and appeal and importunate
entreaty, bear them to the Great
Physician, where they are assured
of finding life and health and
peace.
1t has been said that corpora
tions have no SOULS" but this old
adage has been annulled; for Miss
Smith has found and effectually
touched both soul and heart in the
great B. G O. Railroad Company.
1t freely accords to her every
needed privilege and facility, and
indeed arms her with almost dis
cretionary powers in the prosecu
ton of her work along its lines.
Wise corporations are learning that
among their employees, the better
the men, the better the service,
and that happy servantsmake hap
Ply masters.
The meetings at the shops in the
Sixth Ward, continue moons and
evenings, with interest and infu-
ence still growing deeper and wi
der, the ministers of the city unit
ing heartily in the work. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harris and Miss Sherman are
still assisting in the general con-
duct of the services and personal
work.

The interest of the meeting of

Miss Smith and her earnest heart

Miss Smiths co-workers, Miss

The Paul Murder Trial.
Verdict Set aside and Nee0 Trial
Granted.

AS we went to press last week,
the motion was pending for new
trial in the case of the State VS..
Joseph Paul, for the killing of
Reuben Marquis, in which the Ju-
ry found verdict of murder in
the first degree.
The motion was ably and ex-
haustively argued both for and
against, by Messrs. Hutchinson,
Loomis and Judge Ferguson, for
the prisoner, and Mcclure and
Caldwell for the State.
His Honor, Judge Jackson, after
hearing all the arguments, took
time to consider the several points
raised, and on Friday last, deliv-
cred an elaborate opinion, occupy
ing more than four hours time.
Each point raised was taken up
and disposed Of in order with ref
erences to the numerous authori-
ties, used for the guidance Of the
Court.
AS one after another of the nu-
merous grounds assigned, were re-
jected, it was plain to be seen that
the anxiety Of the prisoner in
creased as his hopes for a new trial
were fast vanishing.
But when the last assignment
was reached, and the Court en-
tered upon the consideration Of the
facts established by the affidavits
filed in support of the charge that
one Of the jurors was prejudiced
and had prejudged the case, the
prisoners hopes revived, and soon
ripened into the assurance of a
new chance for life.
The Court held that from the
previous declarations and conduct
of Strauther Freeman, one of the
jurors in the case, it sufficiently
appeared that he was not a proper
juryman to try the case, and so far
as he was concerned, the Court
could not say that the prisoner had
had that far and IMPARTIAL trial by
a jury Of his peers, to which he
was entitled therefore the verdict
was set aside and new trial award
ed.
AS the decision was announced,
the prisoner broke down and wept
profusely, waving his hand in graf
itude to the Court.
The Court commented in severe
terms on the character of the aft
davits Of jurymen filed, tending to
impeach their own verdict, and
while disclaiming any charge of
intended wrong against Mr. Free
man, condemned his conduct in
strong terms.
We are very sure that the jury
in this important case, and all who
witnessed the trial and subsequent
proceedings on the motion to set
aside the verdict, were imbued
with new realization of the very
high and most responsible duties
of a juryman trying a fellow man
for his life,
We may add that His Honor's
rulings throughout the lengthy
trial, impressed the bar and citi-
zens generally with his fixed pur-
pose to discharge his official du-
ties strictly in the case, and in his
final decision there seemed to be
universal acduiescence.

To be more particular we refer
to the Railroad between Parkers-
burg aud Wheeling, that is now
under contract to experienced and
solid railroad builders, who agree
to have the roadway completed on
or before November |, 1888. Where
upon we remark that this is some
thing tangible.
