LITIGATION BEGUN AND ENDED.
A Decision in the Feibleman Case Against
the Justice-0ther Suits.

The Superior Court, in general term, on Sat
urday rendered a decision in the matter of the
eligibility of justices of the peace that has much
interest locally. In the friendly suit brought by
Prosecutor Brown against Justice Fe ibleman, to
determine whether the latter had the right to
hold court in the city when he was elected
justice for West indianapolis, the court over
ruled the demurrer to the complaint, holding
that it was the manifest intention of the Van
Vorhs law, under which the justices
operate, to compel justices select
ed for particular town or city
to reside and keep their offices at the place for
which they were elected and where their courts
are supposed to be needed. The court ntimates
that there is a doubt as to the validity of the
law, but does not propose to pass upon it. Judge
Howe gave the opinion and Judges Walker and
Taylor coneurred. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, and final decision will be
speedily reached. Pending this Mr.. FEEBLE
man will hold Office in West indianapolis and
will demand of Justice Glass who is now officiat-
ing in that capacity, the books and papers of
his Office which he will doubtless refuse to give
up. This decision ais involves the tenure of
Office of Justice Pease, and it is said similar
proceedings will be instituted against him. The
public will be satisfied if the final decision
lessons the number Of squires and improves
their quality.
Judge Taylor has granted Mary BucEner
divorce from John Buckner on grounds
of failure to provide, and Ora A. Coon
has applied for divorce from Sidney w. Coon,
to whom she was married in 1882, alleging
abandonment and cruelty. She wants $500 ali
mony.
Catherine German has begun suit against G.
w. Wagner demanding So, 900, on account of a
real estate transaction, she claiming that the
property was sold her when the title to it was
imperfect.
Edward Malta has sued the L. B. e w. rail
road Company for $4,000 for personal injuries
sustained in a collision west of the river last
August. A similar suit was commenced by
another employe u few days ago

2 The wabash Receivership.

The best information obtainable regarding
the Wabash, ST. Louis g. Pacific is that it will
not go into the hands of receiver. One who is
in position to know says: The following is quite
likely to be the outcome ~ The interest on
the first mortgage bonds will be paid at ma
tprrty; (2l holders of the general mortgages will
be asked to fund 70 per cent of their coupons for
three years into bonds at par, receiving in cash
% per cent of their interest-their coupons to
be deposited in esero (3 The holders of the
companys floating debt obligations (about 49,
10000 will be asked to accept a ten-years bond
at par These, with the looping off of several
improbable branches, are the modes through
which it is expected to escape the clutches of a
receiver, One of the Wabash officials was APP
proached Saturday last in New York, by a re-
porter of the Mail and Express, to learn what he
had to say regarding the rumor that a
receiver was to be appointed for that
property The officer said: yes on consult
ing my diary l find that the time for repeating
the receiver rumor has come round again. Last

phrey and told him that as the company could

were assaulted by foot-pads Saturday night
between and 10 o'clock. Edwin Hill, while
driving on North Meridian street, was stopped
near Seventh street, and while one man held his
horse another put q revolver to Hills face and
ordered him to give up his money Instead of
complying with the demand he struck his horse,
causing it to jump forward and start on run.
Two shots were fred at Hill by the robbers, one
passing through his hat and another striking the
buggy close to the head of a ladywho was riding
with him.

A Good Record.

The Financial Chronicle makes summary of
the mileage, net earnings, fixed charges and divi-
dends earned and paid in fourteen years past by
the Lake Shore road. The statement shows in
the fourteen years Lake Shore earned &c. 80 per
cent, or an average of 6.88 per cent, per annum
upon its capital stock, and paid in dividends 81
per cent, or an average of 5,43 per annum. OF
the fourteen 1873 was the worst, and 1880 the
the best year. Last year was not as good as
1882, but better than 1881, which, with the ex-
ception of 1880, was the best year seen since
1872. The proportion of expenses to earnings
in 1880, $3.50. Last year operating expenses con
sumed 59.43 per cent Of gross earnings.

A Lengthy Litigation Concluded.

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois road is again
getting well upon its feet, the expression goes
There is good authority for saying that Presi-
dent Stevens, of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois
Railroad Company, has effected settlement
with the old Chicago, Danville & Yncennes
stockholders, formerly in possession of the fran
chise by which clear title to the property will
be given to this company. The stock of the
company has risen 1920 per share, and it is said
will again become dividend-paying. This action
will settle litigation which has beer pending
some years. In September, 1877, the road was
sold under foreclosure sale. In March, 1882 the
United States Supreme Court reversed the de-
cree of foreclosure of the Danville road, but
granted rehearing, on which the old decree
was reversed and the cause remanded. The
road is valuable property, passing through a
good country, and is fortunate in its connec-
tons. Now that this litigation has been con
cluded, the road will doubtless assume the posi-
ton as a north and south line it is entitled to.

The Facts Regarding the Fast Run Over the

AS the papers in publishing the fast run of the
Vanderbilt train over the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton road have mixed matters somewhat
we give the statement below of Mr. Ramsey,
civil engineer on the c., H. & D., who was on the
train and held the watch His Abatement,
as given to the Journal, is that 1.-The correct
time of the Vanderbilt special was hour and
IL minutes from time of starting at
Dayton to the full stop in Cincinnati including
four stops, one of 21-2 minutes at Hamilton.
From Dayton to Hamilton, thirty-five miles, in
thi. ty eight minutes, three stops; Hamilton to
Cincinnati, twenty-five miles, in thirty three
minutes, including one stop and slowing up
through Cincinnati. Fastest time was from
Glendale to Woodlawn, 4-10 mile in fifty-two
seconds or one mile in forty-six seconds, rate
of seventy-eight miles per hour We ran $40
miles in eight minutes and nineteen seconds,
and 234l0 miles in twenty three minutes and
