winter and especially during March, have been
too small, on account of hard times and exag
gerated smallpox reports. to meet the heavy
expenses necessarily incurred in building up so
large a school and sustaining by the assistance
of a large faculty, the high standard of instruc
ton which has been inauGurated in both the
commercial and academic departments.
The amounts which the three teachers named
allege we owe them are as follows: E. J. Heeb,
SIS; O. H. Trook $50; c. c. Darlington, $40.
We can discharge the entire Indebtedness to all
teachers, including the above for less than 500.
The balances due students for money deposited
only aggregate $202, the payment of which is
most satisfactorily arranged for with the stu
dents.
The facts as thus stated are not given because
they are of interest to the public, but to correct
the impressions conveyed by your article of this
morning, and to protect the institution from
such injury as may result therefrom. The body
Of the faculty remains undisturbed by this tenn
porary difficulty, and new teachers have been
employed to fill the vacancies created The stu
dents in the college compose the finest possible
body Of young men and young women The
school will go under new and better auspices
and, in the future as in the past, the college
shall outrank all competition

The Situation Becoming Interesting,

The proposed lease of the Cincinnati, Wabash
& Michigan road sexciting considerable interest
in railroad and business circles, as well as towns
on the road. The stock and bondholders, most
of whom are Cleveland men, at first proposed to
lease the road to any reliable company who
would operate it, fully maintain it physically
and pay the fixed charges Unexpectedly, there
were two Jealous bidders for the property,
namely the Lake Shore and the Chicago g. At
lantic. This led the stockholders to hesitate
somewhat, and the Lake Shore people offered
bonus above the proposition of the stockholders
first mentioned The Chicago g. Atlantic heard
of this and bid a larger bonus, and there the
matter stands. Meantime the business men and
shippers north of Goshen strongly favor the
lease of the road to the Chicago 4 Atlantic, as
should the Lake Shore people secure it they (the
shippers will be at the mercy Of the Lake Shore
people, as they will have no competition, while
were the G. & A. people to get it the competi-
ton would be stronger even than it has been in
the past

Somewhat Confused.

Some time ago Barbara Parkison applied for
divorce from John Parkison person of rather
weak mind, who lives in Shelby county, and
Egby Bucker, his guardian, was made co-defend-
ant so that alimony could be obtained Some
Shelbyville attorneys who were in the city on
Saturday looking into the matter, report that in
October, 1882, Parkison was granted divorce
from his wife, but the decree was never recorded.
If this be true it is strange that his wife did not
know it at the time, and that she should now APP
ply for divorce.

Let There BE No More Growing.

Within the last eighteen months there has
been good deal Of growing over the manner
the trains on the l., P. & G. division of the Wa
bash system have been operated but the changes
which take effect to-day in the running of trains,
two having been added, leave no grounds for
complaint on this score, and we are assured by
one high in authority that the rate question is to
be looked after, and if indianapolis is discrimi-
mated against it is to be at once corrected With
in few days, it is stated, man who will
be very acceptable to the business men at this
point and on the road will be appointed general
agent with headquarters at indianapolis, and ev-
cry effort is to be made to overcome the preiu-
aices which have, and from good reasons, grown
up since the Wabash people took control of the
\, 2. q G. road, and as the new management
show disposition to treat those who should be
patrons of the road honorably it is but fair that
business men should meet the management in a
halsy way and give them fair trial Under

Slight Improvement in Traffic Over Indian
apolis Lines.

apolis Lines.
The train records show that few hundred
more loaded cars were handled at this point last
week than in the preceding one. There has not
been the increase in east-bound business which
had been anticipated with the sharp reduction
in rates, and it is no exaggeration to say that
with majority of the roads the amount of
freight moving disappointing, unless it be in
west-bound, the tonnage in this direction run
ming, it is said, fully 10 per cent heavier than at
the corresponding period 1883, dating back to
the first of the year. North and south roads are
doing better, but there is still room for improve
ment. There has been a sharp movement in
grain and provisions southwark, through which
the KokomO division of the Chicago, St Louis
d Pittsburg and the j., III. & |. have profted
the most the business over the former being the
heaviest in any week since the present method of
moving trains went into effect Local traffic is
heavy both in and out bound. Building material
moving is quite an item with some of the roads,
and the strike at the Clay county mines is of ad-
vantage-to other roads, and a summing up shows
that most of the roads are doing tolerably fair
business.
Below is given the number of cars received and
forwarded at this point in the week ending
April 5. rs compared with that of the preceding
week.

The --latest Regarding the Narrow Gauge.

The --latest Regarding the Narrow Gauge.
The experiment on the narrow gauge theory
in the case of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis
road is likely to discourage any future attempts
in that line in any part of the United States where
it is practicable to build standard gauge road
That the narrow gauge will do well for noun
famous countries, but nowhere else, as stated
years ago in the journal, is fully demonstrated
John Felt Osgood, whose resignation as chair
man of the Toledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis Rail
road Company's reorganization committee was
noticed several days since, in concluding his
report says: "It is doubtful from the re-
ports on hand, if there was ever a month since
the first incorporation of the road from Toledo
that anything above the common expenses was
earned. The great fault of the system is its
narrow gauge" The indications now are that
the main line from Toledo to Kokomo and the st.
Louis division, from Kokomo to East St Louis
will foreclose reorganize and make the road of
Standard gauge at the earliest time practicable
The executive committee appointed on Wednes-
day will ask for proxies from the bondhoders
empowering them to proceed with foreclosure
and reorganization The plan is said to be to
convert the present first mortgage bonds into
second mortgage bonds, to issue a new first
mortgage for some Sc, 000, 600 and an equal
amount of preferred stock. The present in
comes will probably also be made preferred
stock and the common stock scaled down.
