A Complicated Case.

George Wagner has filed suit against Cath
crime German and Charles Scudder to set aside
a judgment He alleges that in anticipation of
going into the army in February, 1858, WIN.
Seudder purchased Of Joseph D. Vinpedge
lot 81 in outlot l5l for $3.50 the deed
being made to his wife, Rebecca Seudder They
agreed if he should not live to return, the real
estate should belong to the wife, but if he re-
turned the property should be held by his wife
in trust for him. After purchase he put 81, 900
worth of improvements on the lot and then en-
listed in the Ono hundred and twenty fourth
Indiana Volunteers. In April 1864, while he
was absent in.the army, his wife died, leaving
one child, Charles. The court afterward de-
creed that the lot belonged to VIM. Scudder, and
deed was made conveying it to him and after
wards conveyed it to the plaintiff, Wagner.
VIM. Scudder afterwards moved to Arkansas
and became hopelessly insolvent. Charles Scud-
der then filed suit against Catherine German
defendant herein, for his interest and obtained
decree, although Wagner asked to be- made a
co defendant in order to prove the foregoing
facts and thus shield him from u suit brought by
Catherine German. He now asks to be allowed
to be made defendant in new trial of the
cause and to be allowed to plead the foregoing
facts.

The Chicago & Atlantic.

The Chicago & Atlantic road, despite the state
ment that it is in good shape financially, is really
in the mire. The road has been opened to through
traffic but eighteen months, and makes default
in paying the November coupon of its first mort
gage bonds, which amount to $6,500,00O, issued
on 2, 49l miles of railroad, and therefore at the
rate of $26 100 per mile. This road built to give
the Erie line into Chicago under its own con
troll, cost much more than the builders of it es-
timated and within the past year 81, 500, 900 of
second-mortgage bonds have been issued to meet
the excess of cost But the $40, 900 of interest
is not the whole charge which the road has to
bear, for it leases entrance into Chicago over
the Western Indiana road, for which last year
the rental was $40 SSS. 1t is thus burdened
with yearly fixed charge of about 81 $50 per
mile, instead of 81, 500 which at first was given
all that the road would have to bear The
first mortgage bonds of the Chicago & Atlantic
Railway enjoy traffic guarantee" from the
Erie and the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
which is of a more substantial nature than most
traffic guarantees have been

Is 1t a Vanderbilt Interest2

The Decline people, after having arranged for
changing the time of their fast evening express
out of St Louis, to reach Cleveland at 230 p. NJ
next day instead of 4:3O P. M, in time to connect
with the Lake Shore fast express, are all out of
joint again, the Lake Shore people declining to
haul their New York and Boston coaches
on this train, for the reason that it would make
this train too heavy to make the time. 1t see ms
somewhat singular that if the Vanderbilt people
are interested in the prosperity Of the Decline
and l. & ST. L.. that whenever they undertake
to catch on with the travelling public by making
faster time than a competitor such enterprise is
stepped on by the Lake Shore on some trivial
excuse such as the one above noted.

In commenting on the report of the Union
Pacific for September the Financial Record says
it shows the percentage of operating expenses to
be more than Al per cent. and wants to know if
ANY knave concerned in making up this state
ment thinks that Wall-street people are such
consummate fools as TO believe for momentthat
this road was operated during the month of
September for anything like that percentage9
The statement is lie on its very face" This is
pretty strong language. The editor of the Re
cord should bear in mind that apolicy of vigorous
retrenchment is in force almost everywhere, and
while no road can be permanently operated for
40 per cent, or any figure close to it, there is
possibility of reducing the cost of operation to
low figure for brief period and it is not
necessarily knavish to do it. The truth is that
the percentage of operating expenses to net
earnings in September was larger in case of
Union Pacific than in ease of Atkinson and
Chicago Burlington g. Quincy, as in the follow
ing contrast between the roads and between
September, 1884. and September, 1883;

Points of Interest Regarding Mexican Rail-

D. B. Hunt, who has been connected with the
Mexican railroad interests since 1882 and who
has just come north, gives some interesting in
formation regarding Mexican railroads. The
earnings of the Mexican Central for October
were nearly 100000, and ono good passenger
and freight train day will more than pay ex-
pe1ses and interest. The time from Ell Paso to
the City of Mexico is two dayI and three nights
The road depends mostly upon its through
business, but has paying local business be
tween the City Of Mexico and Zacatecas, a city
of 60, 900 inhabitants, twenty-four hours run to
the north. The freight handled is almost en-
tireiy from the United States, and the return
trade from Mexico is very small in comparison
Machinery has thus far been the principal i'm
pert over the line There has been considerable
furniture and great deal of beer which is

Heroic Cure for Dread Disease.

cures. One of the things of which they
have o peculiar horror ls the common diff
fculty known as e~longation of the palate.
When | was practicing as a newly fedged
student in Virginia, an old negress called
on me one evening s Her hair was pulled
back from her forehead and knotted with
a cord in a light bunch on the crown Of
her head. she was evidently suffering
from a cold.
"Mars' Doctor" she said, "I'se afraid
Use got fallin' OBJ de palate. Use done
tied up my har as hard as l can, but it
don't pear to make it no better, an |
'spect mebby l need some pills"
L examined her throat and found moth
ing the matter but slight Inflammation.
81 don't think you need any pills, auntie.
If you can only got your hair tied up a
little closer for a day or two | have no
doubt your palate will shorten up all
right" She came IN again in a few days
and told me she was much better, but
her sole man" had tied up her hair so
hard that she bad to sleep with her
eyes open, ''cause she couldn't even make
a wink"
