The Outside Offices.

The position taken by E. A. Ford, general
passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, re-
garding the opening of the outside ticket offices,
which was published in the journal yesterday,
has drawn forth the following answer from a
railroad official connected with one of the In
dianapolis system of roads, "Mr. Ford ex-
presses the opinion that the public and the diff
ferent lines out of indianapolis are well served
under the present system of selling tickets only
at the Union railway offices. There are FIVE
prominent lines out of here for the
West-say Kansas City. These lines
connect west of here with no less
than six other lines and form combination
of about thirty different routes a passenger may
choose from in going from indianapolis to Kan
sas City, and the same, or near as many, can
be formed by lines leading south and southeast,
east and northeast, and north and northwest.
More than thirty different routes can be formed
by connections made at Chicago, Seneca, Rock
Island, Peoria. Burlington, Kcokuk, Quincy,
Hannibal and st. Louis. Does Mr. Ford think
chat these vast systems of roads TALL of them
expect business from lndianapolis) can got the
attention they expect and deserve, as connec-
tions by the information to be gained by below
ing at and being beloved at in return by an
overworked clerk through portfolio in
a NOISY depot, where men and women
are croWang each other in the vain effort to gain
information due them as patrons of the roadsl
Or. shouio they, by chance, find the secluded,
we'll -hidden uptown Offices does Mr.. Ford think
the gibbest tongued ticket-seller thatever talked
could impartially lay the claims of these scores
of combinations of routes before passengerl
Not IN a month could he do it. Neither the
public nor the roads and their connections are
served by the system Mr.. Ford wishes to perpet-
uate in this city. Mr.. Ford says the expense is
great for outside Offices Two years ago we had out
SIDE offices and Mr. Ford is to-day paying and has
for the past year paid more for his passenger
service ~ Indianapolis yes, six times as much as
he did when his outside office was open; and the
same Is true as to every road running out of
this city Mr. Ford's reasons are obvious to
railroad men, but we refrain from the advertis-
ing the Inentlon OF them would give him, and we
are surprised that they are not apparent to his

while section 10 absolutely deprived maDried woman
of all power to incumber in any her separate
property acquired by descent devise gift it was
silent in regard to her separate property acquired b
contract purchase. 1t must, therefore be held
that after the act of 1879 took effect and remained in
force married woman had the power, under section
of the act of 1852, to incumber her separate real
property acquired by purchase, by her mortgage in
which her husband Joined, to secure her her

General Manager TaImage's Trip.


A A. Talmage and other officials Of the Wa
bash system reached indianapolis yesterday
morning and remained about four hours. The
party came in over the Indianapolis & St Louis
on a special train, consisting of baggage-car a
Pullman sleepingcar and General Manager Tai
IMAGES car, the "San Francisco" The train was
hauled by a Missouri Pacific engine, No 2l9i
which attracted considerable attention, as it bore
ancient marks; among other things has an old
bonnet smoke-stack The old stub" hauled the
train from Greencastle to the Union Depot
thirty y-nine miles--in fifty-eight minutes, which
IS good running, as the engineer at the
throttle was not acquainted with the road
Manager Talmage says he is looking over the
property to see what Improvements are needed
to the roadbed, the equipment, stations etc.
He says it is his intention to make the Wabash
system entire in as good condition as
any road crossing Indiana, and that within
eighteen months the property will be put in a
condition to compare favOrably with the Mis-
souri, Pacific, one of the best roads in the West
He thinks there is room for improvements on all
divisions of the road He says the more he sees
of the Wabash system the better he is convinced
that 1t has grand future before it, The tenor
OF Manager Talmage's remarks was that the
company have decided to put the road through
out in perfect repair, to enforce rigid economy.
to pay promptly all bills, to advance all
needed funds and wait for the result. The party,
which consisted of A. A. Talmage, X. H. Wade,
Chief Engineer Lincoln, Superintendent Stevens
and E. NJ. Hawley, yesterday looked their termi
nal facilities here over thoroughly. Mr.. Talmage
remarked that he was satisfied that they needed
more yard ROOM and he thought it would be ad-
visable to sell the fat-iron grounds where the
round-house is located. purchase grounds further
out of the city on which to rebuild, and upon
which to lay an extensive system of tracks for
an outside yard giving the tracks in the city yard
entirely up to local business. Mr.. Talmage re-
marked that he judged from the tenor of several
articles he had seen in the Indian
apols Journal that there was not
kindly feeling toward the Wabash
which he regretted and he said he wished it un-
derstood that the present management were
anxious to place themselves upon the most
friendly terms with the business men of Indian
apos. If the trouble was that not passenger
trains enough were run, which was probably
true more would be put on. If rates were unfair
or unsatisfactory, they would be so revised as to
give the shippers of Indianapolis no grounds for
complaint, and one could not fail to discover that
General Manager Talmage is fully determined to
redeem for the Wabash all the lost ground at
this point. He spoke in very complimentary
terms of the condition of the Indianapolis & St
Louis road 1t is twelve years since Mr.. Talmage
was in this city, and he expressed great surprise
at its growth and the enterprise manifested on
all sides

were frozen over for twenty days. In
1908 the Thames was frozen over for
fourteen weeks. In l4O7 the cold was
so intense in England that all the small
birds perlshed, and in l433 large fowl
were driven by the terrible cold into
the towns and cities of Germany.
In l468 the winter was so severe in
Flanders that the wine distributed was
cut with hatchets.
The year 1868 was noted for cold
weather in England. Thousands of
forest and shade trees we're split by
frost, birds and stock persisted, a line
of stages ran on the Thames for sew
eral weeks, and shops we've built on
the ice in the middle of the Thames.
In 1851 the wolves were driven by
the cold into Vienna, where they at
tackled men and cattle on the streets.
