THE JOURNALISTS
DAILY AND WEEKLY.
The Leading Paper in Indiana.

At the opening of the presidential year the
attention of all intelligent people is directed to
the newspaper. With the session of Congress
the Importance of an enterprising and reliable
daily and weekly newspaper becomes even
greater. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL seeks
to excel, not only in the completeness and re-
liability of its news but in the character and in
the method of its presentation. THE JOURNAL
has special correspondents at Washington,
New York, Boston, Chicago, and at all other
leading cities in the country, while its corps
of correspondents cover all events of import
ance occurring in any of the towns and cities
of Indiana, and of thoseportions of Illinois and
Ohio which it naturally serves.
1t will be the particular care of THE JOURNAL,
during the year 1884, that its readers shall be
kept fully informed of matters connected with
the great presidential struggle upon which the
country is about to enter, and with the no less
important canvass for the new Congress to be
chosen next November, as well as of all other
important political movements.
The financial and commercial department of
THE JOURNAL includes full and accurate reports
of all movements affecting the interests of
capitalists and business men that occur in Eu-
rope OF America. Its daily record of the Chi
eago, New York and other markets will be
found trustworthy record and guide by all
Interested in s11ch rnattars
In local matters THE JOURNAL prints all that
is worth printing, and in which the public is
interested. It pays particular attention to
those events which affect the best thought

only used the checks in place of money which he
had lent to friend for few days to purchase
real estate with, and he forgot to destroy the
checks. Now the theory is that he
missed the checks and put the money they
represented back in the cash drawer. The day
that Mr.. Walker talked with Mr.. Willard he told
his story very penitently TO Mr. King, who told
him that he had committed penitentiary
offense- On the promise that he would do better
Mr.. Walker continued him as cashier, against
the advise of Mr. King Only six weeks after
Mr.. King discovered that Milliard had by crooked
figures, collected money due from the Indian
apohs & St. Louis and Decline, and
it had not been reported. At this
iuncture Mr. Walker wrote litter to
Auditor Benson asking that he furnish him a
man for cashier, as he was not satisfied with Mil
hard's mode of doing business. The letter seems
to haue received little attention. Willard re-
manned as cashier, and all the time was in an
adroit manner stealing money from the company.
One method he had would make it almost impos
sible to detect his rascality. For instance he
would take the settlement slip of the j., NJ. & /.
road, cut off items from the bottom of the slip,
leaving the whole amount ON the check,
and drawing the money thereon,
putting only what the check-slip
called for in the drawer and the balance of the
money he realized on the check he put into his
pocket In this method, the last three or four
weeks he was in the service he gathered much Of
the 81, 900 he took with him together.
There are other minor matters mentioned in
the correspondence, which all go to show that it
mistake the part of Mr.. Walker that,
the minute he discovered Willard to be forger,
he did not have him arrested.

GENERAL NEWS.

Probability that the I. s. st. L. will Become
the Property of the Illinois Central.
Indications now are that the Texas q st. Louis
road which has just dropped into the hands of a
receiver, will at no distant day be a part of the
Illinois Central system. The t. & St L. is one of
the longest narrowgauge roads in the country. The
road is 723 miles long, extending from the Mis-
sissippi, opposite Cairo, southwestward on a line
from twenty to forty miles southeast of the
Iron Mountain road, in Arkansas, and about as
far northwest of the international and Great
Northern in Texas, and having its northwestern
terminus near the center of Texas, but nearly
as far west as there is much agriculture-a
cotton country nearly all the way. In the north
lern half of Arkansas and throughout its
length in Texas, other railroads are near
enough to compete with it for local
traffic almost everywhere. Should the Illinois
Central secure the property their first step
would doubtless be to make the road standard
gauge. With the present gauge the tracks inter
change only at disadvantage with the indie
pendent Texas roads like the Houston & Texas
Central and the Gulf, Colorado q Santa Be-
And when it gets into financial difficulties, as
now, this difference in gauge increases them. Tt
is not nearly so advantageous a connection with
other roads as if it were of the standard gauge
and so other roads will not bid as much for it.
The Illinois Central people need the road and
are the only company that can readily command
the money to transfer the road and equipments
into standard gauge.

RATES DEMORALIzED.

Prospects Good that Another Reduction in
East-Bound Rates Will Be Ordered.
kilograms received here last evening from
Peoria and st. Louis make it quite certain that
some of the lines are cutting rates still at those
points. Up to yesterday it was apparently con-
fined to the White line and Niekel-plate, but
late reports show that the warfare is spreading,
and should Commissioner Fink within day or
two order another reduction in rates, it would
not be a matter of surprise. Perhaps month
or two spent in demonstrating that cutting rates
slyly on a few shipments inevitably and quickly
results in cutting off all profits on all through
shipments would DE, eventually the most prof
table month the railroads ever had. Apparent
ly nothing can make business large at this time,
and so a general reduction, though it should
take away all profit, is not likely to take away
great amount of profit.

A NEW DEAL.
The Erie Takes the Hoosac Tunnel Lines
Under Its Broad Wings.

The Erie Takes the Hoosac Tunnel Lines
Under Its Broad Wings.
Arrangements are reported to have been com
pleted by which the Erie will do its New Eng
land business entirely over the Hoosac Tunnel
route For three years past it has been divid-
ing it between the New York 6 New England
and the Hoosae Tunnel lire, giving the lions
share, however, to the former Thus it will be
seen that the cold shoulder Mr. Vanderbilt
gave the Hoosac Tunnel reacts, and the latter
viii doubtless do more business in the future
than at any time in the past. The Hoosac Tun-
mel fast freight line takes a new lease of life.
1t will reach Chicago over the Erie and the
Chicago & Atlantic, Cincinnati over the Cincin-
natl Hamilton & Dayton, indianapolis over the
c., Fl. & l. and the l., B. & W., from Urhana
Louisville over the j., NJ & l., and st. Louis
over the Vandalia. That it will give the clique of
railroad men on important roads carrying
through business some warm competition is
quite evident. The through passenger serv-
ice, as well, will be nicely arranged. Through
sleeping coaches from Chicago to Boston will be
put on from Cincinnati to Boston and possibly
from Peoria to Boston, if not from indianapolis
to Boston. The new arrangement goes into
effect March l. Competent agents are to be APP
pointed by the Hoosac Tunnel line at all points
where former agents followed General Manager
Darling to the Nickel-plate fast-freight line.

Miscellaneous Notes.

Georgia railroads are complaining that the
juries of that State are inclined to render YER
diets for very heavy damages against them.
The pay-rolls of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy road show that 4, 629 men were employed
in the mechanical department of the road, and
the aggregate of the payroll of this department
for 1883 was s., 500 93.
The New York, West Shore & Buffalo rail
way, though a member of the trunk line comb
nation so far as affects freight traffic is not a
party to the agreement concerning passenger
business, except that it has agreed to maintain
the regular rates.
President Loveioy. of the Denver & Rio
Grande is said to favor pushing to completion the
Eagle River branch That extension is very
important one, and its completion to Grand
Junction would greatly increase the business of
the Denver & Rio Grande AS a through route
it would be more popular than the one over
Marshal Pass, and it could be operated with
much less expense.
While locomotive engine was running a train
on the Lebanon Valley railroad, in Pennsylva-
nia recently, fue burst and stopped up the
stack, throwing the flames out into the cab. Be
fore the fire door could be closed, the woodwork
of the cab took fire and forced the engineer and
fireman to jump to save themselves from being
roasted alive Fortunately the engineer shut off
steam and applied the brake before quitting the
engine, so the train soon stopped.
A director of the Northern Pacific comforts
the friends of the road by stating that the
Northern Pacific is under cloud just now, but
not nearly great as the Union Pacific was years
after it had been running through trains to San
Francisco The Northern Pacific passes through a
rich wheat and grazing country and will enjoy
the wealth of Oregon and Washington Territory,
which, in his estimation, in twenty-five years
will rival the richest portions OF the present de-
veloped portions of the country.

such correspondence, which shows that MilliaPd,

September, 1885, Mr.. King discovered three
