Stock and Paid-in Capital.

An observing railroad man who understands
the ups and downs in railroad stocks and bonds,
says the old-fashioned idea of share of stock,
that it was a certificate that the holder had ac-
tualy paid the face value of it toward an enter
prise and was entitled to a proportionate share
of the profits therein is ar exploded one In
many cases the stock shares of to-day represent
not one cent of paidin capital but are merely
the ''chips" in a gaming operation, of which the
construction company" is the most familiar
type. Only the other day, he said, certain stock
which he had watched with interest was forced
up 10 points in Wall street at the same time
that conservative bankers were refusing to lend
money upon it. He added that the present own
ers of the L., N. A. g. c. stock, majority of
them, paid but nominal sum for it, and if
it dropped to or cents on the dollar their loss
would be trihing

THE GOODWIN MURDER CASE.
The Motion for a Rehearing 0verruled by
the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court on Saturday overruled
Goodwin murder case, and the only hope for Mr..
Goodwin, who is now serving life sentence in
the Southern prison, is in executive clemeney.
The case is one that has attracted general inter
est. About two years ago. Robert NJ. Goodwin,
of Brookville who had just been released from
confinement in the Insane Hospital, where
he was under treatment for drunkenness shot
and killed his brother, DR.. John Goodwin, the
crime being altogether unproyoked The defense
made by his attorneys was that he was mental
ly irresponsible for his acts; but this was
not sustained by either the lower or the higher
court, and he was sentenced to Imprisonment for
life. Recently Major Gordon has been making
an earnest effort to secure rehearing of the
case in the Supreme Court. but has failed.
Judge Elliott, i'll his opinion, rules that the posi-
ton assumed by the defendants cOun-
sci that hypothetical questions asked an
expert witness must embody all the
facts given in evidence, is untenable, and that
whore there is mental capacity sufficient to
fully comprehend the nature and consequences
of an act and unimpaired will power strong
enough to master an impulse to commit crime,
there is mental responsibility; also, that volun
where delerum tremens is set up as defense
the delerium must exist at the time Of the
homicide
Mr.. Goodwin is said to be very Respondent,
and it is feared that he will commit suicide.

COLUMBUS, o., June 28.-.Judge Wylie, of the
Common Pleas Court this morning rendered a
decision in the case of the State against Faed H.
Carroll catcher of the Columbus Base Ball Club,
on application for writ of habeas corpus. A
number of players of the Columbus and Brook
lyn clubs were arrested last Sunday for violating
the State law against playing on Sunday. The
Judge held that the phrase breach of the peace
in the statutes includes all indictable offenses,
and that arrests on Sunday therefore legal,
and he refused the writ and remanded the pris-
oner TO the custody of the constable.
The president of the base ball club says it is
death-biow to the game III Columbus and that
it cannot be supported without Sunday games.
AS retaliatory measures. the management state
that the case against the consolidated road for
running street-cars on Sunday will be prosecuted
under the same law and intimates that warrants
will be sworn out tomorrow against the State
Journal Company. to stop the issue of the Mon
day morning paper as the principal part of the
work has to be done on Sunday.
Later in the day compromise was reached
whereby the game with the Metropolitans on
Sunday was not to be molested if order was pre-
served, the managers agreeing that there should
be no further Sunday playing on the local
grounds.

Expensive Railroad Construction.


A Toxic paper printed in the Japanese Ian
guage, and conducted by Japanese makes this
statement 1.-THE railways of Japan constructed
by the government since 1872 cover in all nearly
seventy ri and have cost we'll nigh Is 600 0O0yen."
Theyen is worth four English shillngs, equivalent
to ninety-six cents, American money. The ri is
Japanense measure equal to two and quar-
ter English miles. The plain English of the
above statement, then, is that 1873 miles of gov
eminent railway in Japan have co. the govern
ment $l4, 400, 00O which gives the average of
Of $91, 428 plus per mile. Even that is high
average. The average cost of the 112 900 miles
of railway in the United States in 1882 was
stated by Poor's Manual for 1883 at little over
SOL 900 per mile and this included the debt as
well as the capital stock 1t is universally regarded
as inflated to the extent of at least % per cent
more than the cash cost, or the cash value of the
roads and equipments. Deduct % per cent.
from SCI, 900 and we have $45, $50 as the approx
innate actual cost pei mile of all the railways of
the United States in 1882. The Japanese aver
age is 100 per cent. higher than this. Evidently
some parties have been robbing the Japanese
government in the construction of these 1871
miles of railway. Right of way costs nothing,
for the government owps the land; and there
could not have been any tax or tariff on the ma
terial, for the government owns that also. La
Dor in Japan is cheaper than in any other railroad
country.

What Cheap Transportation Does.

York, five cents per pound. The freight charge
was seven cents, boxes and ice included, and the
shipper had to pay in addition the fare and wages

cents per pound, leaving profit of eight cents

An Unreasonable Appraisement by the State
Board of Equalization.

Business men who have been spoken to, as well
as railroad officials, express surprise that it is
proposed to assess the five miles of Union track
$28 900 per mile, and the Belt road, fourteen
miles i'll length, $3S, 0OO The physical condition
of either is not by any means equal to that of
roads that are assessed only SO, 900, the appor-
tionment of other roads ranging from 81, 600 to
$l3, coo per mile, none being above the latter
figure. Disinterested parties ask why it is that
the State Board of Equalization singles out these
properties operated by the Union Railway Com
pany and taxes them so exorbitantly Both are
purely local, neither yielding a dollar of
revenue to the roads interested. The Belt
road was built simply to relieve the Union
tracks, that the business public should be less in
convenenced. The Union tracks and Belt road
are maintained by each road paying for the use
Of them on the wheelage basis Not one of the
roads transferring cars over the Belt road is one
dollar richer by so doing TO the contrary they
are losers, as every car could be moved over the
Union tracks five miles, instead of fourteen,
around the Belt road. 1t can hardly be expected
that the Union Railway Company will feel en-
couraged to go ahead and spend million or more
in improvements at this point if they are to be
subjected to such unjust taxation. Such men as J.
C. Yohn, VIM. Fl. English and David Macy express
surprise when told that these roads, local in
character should be taxed three to four times as
much as such roads as the Bee-line the c.. l.,
St L. & G. and the c., st. l.. & p, with their
superior tracks, are assessed. Doubtless were
the State Board of Equalization to confer with
such heavy tax payers as the gentlemen above
named, and to properly consider the character
of the property assessed, it would at least cut
the appraisement down 30 to 30 per cent. Really,
this matter is of more importance to the business
interests of Indianapolis than may seem appar-
emit at first thought The officers of the Union
Railway Company are not by any means small
or penurious and will without complaining nav
