John Osborn, commercial agent of the Wabash
road, is in the city, and will spend the day here.
1t might be we'll for some of the shippers at this
point who have so much to say regarding the
determinations of the Wabash road against Indi-
annapolis, to converse with Mr.. Osborn, and
he will give them facts which may surprise
as well as convince complaining parties
that the discrimination is not so great as
alleged. Mr.. Osborn states that as a represent
alive Of the road he will gladly adjust anything
that looks like discrimination against this city,
Regarding the statement that the Wabash will
take grain from Noblesville or Upton to Toledo at
seven cents per 100 pounds and charge the same
to indianapolis, it was true the grain rate
was seven cents between Noblesville
and Rochester, and the Wabash would
rs willingly bring grain from the first station
south of Rochester to Indianapolis as they would
carry it from Noblesville TO Rochester, then to
Toledo. Regarding the soreness of certain
Noblesville parties, he dropped the remark that
when the l., p. & c. turned the road over to the
Wabash, in 1881, at Noblesville alone there were
twenty-one annual passes out, and now there
were none.

A passenger, who boarded the Panhandle
train at Upton, Yesterday afternoon, was robbed
of $3.50 by two pickpockets shortly before reach
ing Noblesville, whore they pretended to leave
the train, but as it was starting they jumped on
a rear car and came to this city. S. J. Vim
hedge, of Seymour, saw the theft, but didnot re
port it until after the pickpockets had made
their disappearance. Upon arriving in this city
the stranger who had been robbed pawned his
watch, and vent back to Noblesville on the first
train, where he hoped to recover his money from
the thieves, The conductor of the train, how
ever. recognized the pickpockets in the Union
Depot, and followed them to the Corn Exchange
saloon, where he had them arrestedby Sergeants
ODonnell and Quigley. They gave the names
of William Richards and William Brown, and
were locked up on charges of carrying concealed
weapons and grand larceny. None of the
money was found in their possession when they
were searched.

A d~isgruntled railroad official of a competing
line Of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western,
through the columns of the Globe-D Democrat,
which copied an article published in the Journal
of the 10Th, giving the l., B. & W. peoples side
of the pool question, answers it by saying; Mr..
Corbin is not asked to surrender this business
to other roads. He will be allowed apercentage
equivalent to what his line can carry, and it
seems really something like dictation when he
alone, of all the roads, refused to join in the
proposed agreement. Of course this motive is
apparent. He knows that were pools such as
are proposed put in operation at all western
points, Peoria and indianapolis included, the
last two places would soon lose their fictitious i'm
portance as shipping points. and his road would
have its percentage cut down in short order,
simply because the traffic would return to its
proper channel, and his business would be re
duced in proportion. This would, of course, be
hard on the Indiana, Bloomington & Western,
but with the other roads it is a mere business
matter in which sentimental feeling for a weak
line cannot enter. The other roads are a unit
about it, and regard Mr.. Corbin as a collection of
cats would a mouse. He must either keep out
of the way or be gobbled up"

hair growing gray. At so, his hair and
whiskers were entirely white. SO they
continued until he reached go years of age,
when he began using AYERS HAIR

restore their original rich, dark brown
color.
Mrs. AUGUST VALENTINE, Of Buffalo,

though she made use of many of the So

GEO. MAYER, FatoniG. TerdS, pre-

towny growth all over his scalp, and in a
few months his head was covered with
soft, dark and abundant hair.

CLIMBING THE SPIRAL STAIRS.
Invisible Architecture in a New Eng
land Parsonage.

Yes" she said, our children are married and
gone, and my husband and 1 sit by our winter fire
much as we did before the little ones came to widen
the circle. Life is something like q spiral staircase;
we are all the time coming around over the spot We
started from, only one degree further up the stairs. "
THAT is a pretty illustration, remarked her friend,
iuusingly, gazing into the glowing Goals which radi-
ated a pleasant heat from the many windowed stove.
"You know we cannot stop toiling up the hill,
though"
Surely we cannot, and for myself I don't find fault
with that necessity, provided the advance in life is not
attended with calamity or suffering. for I have had my
share of that. Not long since my health utterly broke
down. My system was full of malaria. Ny digestion
became thoroughly disordered, aud my nerves were
in a wretched state. Twas languid, alta little and that
without enjoying il, and had no strength or ambition to
perform even my light household duties. Medical treat
ment failed TO reach the seat of the trouble. The dis
caSe-which seemed to be weakness of all the vital or
gans-progressed until | had several attacks which my
physicians pronounced to be acute congestion of the
stomach. The last Of these vas q desperate struggle,
and [ was given up to die. As the crisis had partially
passed. my husband heard of the merits of
TONIC as an ~invigorant in just such cases as mine. l
took it, and felt its good effects at once. 1t appeared
to pervade my body as though the blessing of new life
had come to me-. Taking no other medicine | contin-
ued to improve, and am now in better health than l
have been for a long time"

The Troubles Came sooner than Predicted

The Troubles Came sooner than Predicted.
Some thirty days ago several railroad presi-
dents were sitting in the private car of one of
their number, on the spur-track west of the
Union Depot, and, in the presence of a repre-
sentative Of the Journal, predicted just what has
occurred in the last week. One fixed the time
within three years, a second within one year and
a third said within three months. The tenor of
their remarks was that since 1877 the rapid set
Element of the Northwestern States and more
enterprising spirit in the Southern States begot
a need for increased railroad facilities. The old
roads made money rapidly, and many whose
shares had been a drug IN the market at even
nominal rates began paying dividends. Money
was plenty, and the prospect of Z or s per cent.
from railroad stocks brought hocks of investors.
Prices ran up. Spectators began building new
lines in many places where they were not needed,
paralleling old lines and opening up but par
TALLY settled territory. Their plan was, in the
main. to issue bonds upon the proposed roads,
sell these and carry on the work out of the pro
ceeds, presenting themselves in one form or
other with the stock which they afterward
put upon the market for what it
would bring. Dishonest railroad pro
jectors came to the front, promoters
of inner rings who formed themselves into con
struction companies. The same parties, acting
as directors of the new corporations, virtually
contracted with themselves. and on terms that
made private fortunes. Thus new roads were
built wholly upon borrowed money, and often ia
tho most expensive and extrayagant manner;
stocks that had never paid a dividend. or but one
or two, TO get a standing, were lifted almost to
par. Instances innumerable might be cited. The
Wabash Company, about '78, on its reorganiza-
ton, issued its common certificates at ZIP:
between 1880 and 1881, they were ballooned up
to 60; they are now down to five, and the sam
remark will apply to dozens of other roads in the
country. The worst ~feauture is that good prop
critics have been sacrificed by directors for their
own private benefit. By fastening small and
worthless lines, owned by themselves, upon the

President Corbin Talks to the T.. G. & st. L.
RondholdErs.

BOndhOidCrS.
AT the meeting in Boston, on Tuesday last,
Mr.. Austin Corbin, of New York, president Of
the Indiana, Bloomington & Western railroad,
was introduced. He stated frankly that his in
terest as a bondholder in the Toledo, Cincin-
natl & st. Louis is not sufficient to have
induced his attendance, but that if his road can
get an outlet to st. Louis by means of this, the
contract will be mutually beneficial. He then
read a letter from the executive committee of the
l., B. & w. Railroad Company to the bondhold-
ers of the Toledo, Cincinnati & Louis road,
in which the ground was taken that if no more
than s 5000 per mile was put upon this property,
which Mr.. Corbin thought an ample a~mountato
put the road bed andsequipmepts in good condi-
ton, there would be no difficulty in taking care
of the financial part Of the enterprise. In other
words, the l., b. & w. people would guarantee
that the interest will always be paid upon the
bonds, and at the same time leave the bond
holders entirely free to make a better negotiation
with other corporations than the l., B.. q W. com
pany, if Others are willing TO do better. Mr.. Cor
bin said that it is of the first importance to re-
construct the road, bring it to standard gauge,
and put it IN good condition; otherwise 1t is
valueless as an investment. He gave the fol
lowing estimate of the cost Of doing this:
