young man by the name of Edwin B. Man

He left her in 1878. She soon after was
known as the wife of Dan Newcomb. She

is received with some discredit, the general
opinion being that he shot him sccidently

SCHEMES FOR SAVING.
The Savings Bank Against the Building Asso-
citation as Viewed by John z. Frenzel.

While q journal reporter, with a Christmas
balance of six cents in capital, was dicussing
matters Of finance with few other CAPT
talists in the Auditor of States Office yesterday
afternoon, Mr. John p. Frenzel came in and
aroused some feeling by asking, "Why can't
indianapolis have q savings bank" AS the or
ganization Of a savings bank requires no capital
and involves no liability, there was some danger
to the public of the proposition being immedi-
ately adopted by the aforesaid reporter and
other capitalists
ga good savings bank in Indianapolis" Mr.
Frenzel continued, could get over two millions
of dollars in deposits in few weeks"
"Why do you think so}' was asked.
''The people want such place to put their
money. Think of the number of building and
savings associations that there are in Indianapo-
lis The two are arranged upon about the same
principles If there n savings bank here, a
great deal of the money that goes into the
building associations would be deposited IN the
banks. | suppose there is no less than $4,000 a
week paid into these associations in this city"
But is not the building association . safer in
vestment than thesavIngs bankY"
mo, not at all The men who usually man
age the affairs of the building associations are
not thorough business men and may be easily
deceived in making loans on worthless property,
or they may take second or third mortgages
which would result in losses There is no alb
solute protection. 1t all depends upon the men
who have the management of the associations in
their hands. Thus far Indianapolis has been
very fortunate. All the associations have been
successful"
And have they not been both beneficial to
the city and to the poorer peoples"
Yes, very beneficial They have enabled
many laboring men to save money which would
doubtless, have otherwise been squandered.
There is probably no city in the country where
in proportion. there more people who own
their homos than there are IN indianapolis Do
you know where the business of these associa-
tions is transacted2 Why. sir, the business
meetings of nne-tenths of them are held in the
saloons about the city. ANY saloon-keeper will
tell You, too, that there is nothing that Injuries
the saloon business more than the savings asso-
Citations in which the poor people invest all their
surplus money every week."

tho singing of tho school. DR.. JeIries made a
brief but delightful address especially directed

made any provision for children or had any care
for them. After some Rotations and more sing
ing Santa Claus made his appearance, and gifts
were distributed to the scholars
The children had pleasant time at Plymouth

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
What Gen. Carnahan Has to Say of the In
diana and Other Exhibits There.

Gen. Carnahan, the Indiana commissioner Of
the Worlds Exposition, has returned from New
Orleans He says that it is his opinion that the
Indiana exhibit will not be second to any in the
quality and variety of display. Minnesota
makes very attractive exhibit, but it is com
posed wholly of wheat and -four arranged with
extravaganza eaborateness, and the Nebraska
display the preparation of which cost about
$685. 900, will probably be the finest in the matter
of decoration. In the Indiana department Gen.
Carnahan has filed 900 square feet with dis
play of specimens of grains and grasses, and it
is so arranged that two sides can be seen from
one direction. The exhibit will comprise aside
from the manufacturing and industrial display.
twenty varieties Of wheat, 200 globes of grain,
twenty kinds of potatoes, ninety specimens of
Indiana wood, fifty specimens of building stone,
over 100 varieties Of fruits collected by the In
diana Horticultural Society, and q display
of prehistoric relics covering 100 feet
of space. He has three carloads of
goods arranged in the space of the
Indiana department. and four carloads more
standing on the railroad tracks. Nebraska is
the only State which has all of its exhibit on the
grounds and fully arranged. General Carnahan
thinks that it will be almost impossible to get
the goods now standing on the railroad tracks
arranged for exhibition before the LIST Of Feb
ruary Something of an idea of how much time
it will require to see all that there is of the eX
position may be obtained from his statement
that in the main building there are thirty miles
of aslcs.
In fifteen minutes walk" General Carna-
han says, ''you see the whole world. You see
people of every nationality and the products of
every country in the world The exhibits and
the arrangement of the display is far ahead of
the centennial. A visit to the government and
State building is alone worth the trip to New
Orleans to any man"
rs the attendance larger
''You can't see the people, and you can't tell
from appearances how many there are in attend
ance but the sale of tickets, it is said,
has been very large. There is much of
interest to be seen now. but 1 would
not advise visitors to 20 until February. because
the displays will not ali he arranged before then.
The exhibits of England, Russia and several
foreign countries have not arrived yet but
are en- route. There is so much vacant space in
the buildings now that is likely to come
away feeling that the exposition is incomplete. J"
General Carnahan will return to New Orleans
about the 18th of January. In the meantime
the work of arranging the Indiana exhibit will
continue and two more carloads of goods will he
forwarded by the commissioner.

Stock and Rates.

The tumble in stocks of the coal roads East
seems to be weakening stocks generally; yet
with many of the roads are shaping up, and the
conditions are much more favorable than sixty
days ago, except in the disposition shown by
State Legislatures to disturb rate matters. This
creates some uneasiness 1t is to be noticed
that freight rates on the trunk lines are better
maintained, and that the weekly returns of
earnings west of Chicago show some gain over
lastyear In answer to demands for still lower
rates of freight on grain, the roads tributary to
Chicago point out that any further reduction
will compel them to reduce wages which in
these times they think injudicious But the dis
position of railroad Arrangements all over the
country is to maintain rates. which shippers, so
far as through business is concerned admit are
as low as the roads can afford to carry property.

TIE PANHANDLE RAILROAD COMPANY.
A Friendly Suit Brought to Clear Its Title
to the Columbus Division.

The Chicago st. Louis Sc Pittsburg Railroad
Company yesterday began proceedings against
the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Railroad
Company, for the purpose of clearing the plain
tiffs title to the Columbus division of the Pan
handle road. The proceedings are of a friendly
nature and TO arrive at an understanding of
their purpert it is necessary to review all the
facts set forth, which incidentally give history
of the road. In 1852 the Indiana Central com
pany began to build the road from this city to
the Ohio line, the terminus of the Dayton s.
Western road, and gave mortgage to r. D.
Lanier & Co, of New York, on the
property to secure the payment of 600
bonds of $1,000 each, due in November,
1866, at z per cent interest. The road
completed in 1856, and a second deed of trust
was made to Lanier, TO secure the payment of
600 additional bonds of 81, 900 each, and 200 of
5000 each, payable in January, 1882 at 10 per
cent. Afterwards in June 1861 the Indiana
Central and the Columbus q indianapolis roads
were consolidated under the last name, and in
1867 it was again consolidated with the Logans
port d Burlington Railway Company. and a few
months later with the Chicago & Great Eastern.
In March, 1888, the C., St L. & p. company, the
plaintiffs in the present suit came into posses
sion OF the road with all the rights and fran
chises that had formerly belonged to its
previous owners. 1t is now alleged that
some time between 1858 and 1883
the 600 bonds secured by first mortgage were
taken up and paid, and afterwards the other 800
were taken up, with the exception of one for
81 600 and one for $500 and that none of these
bonds have been Cancelled and destroyed, as
they should have been, but are still held %
various parties; and it is urged that in the flu
ture, either by accident or with fraudulent in
tent, they may again be put into circulation. 1t
is asked that the defendants may be required to
surrender to a special commissioner appointed
by the court, all the bonds, and that he shall
cancel or destroy them under order of the court,
and enter satisfaction in the mortgage records.
With the complaint is filed the answer of the de-
PENDANT by its president, Thomas d. Messler,
admitting the truth of the allegations made
