Traffic Light with English Roads.

A reduction in earnings, similar to that re-
ported by number of American lines, during
the first quarter of the present year, occurred
on a number of the English lines. Notwith-
standing the fact that the winter was an unusu-
ally mild one in England, the aggregate receipts
of the twelve leading lines of that country during
the first quarter of 1884 represent a decline of
f136,1 the receipts of this year having been
of 1883 The reduction extended to passenger
as well as freight traffic, the decline in the
former being f48, 236, and in the latter EST, 934
The leading causes assigned are industrial or
commercial depression. OF the twelve leading
lines three report increased earnings. The
greatest declines are the following London &

Hon. Sim Coy the New Democratic Boss.

Citizen, in indianapolis News.
Coy is not even representative saloon
keeper. He represents nobody but the de-
fers of law and deeency. He is a city
father, and yet connives to break the
law. He would open his gambling rooms if he
knew the metropolitan police would not interfere.
He violates the liquor law with impunity by
keeping his place open at all hours. He has no
nor side doors, and yet carries on his traffic
in defiance of the higher Sunday law 1t is his
proud ambition to be leader-a Tammany Hall
leader, like John Kelly--and he aims to be a
figure, not only in municipal but national
politics.

on the road for them, one from Portland to Hell
ena, Montana, and the other from Helena to St
Paul. Two days and two nights run with but
little chance for sleep is very hattering Mr..
Footner, manager, thinks of altering the exsting

to traverse the whole distance to and from st.
Paul. The through messenger however, will
only have to work in the day time, and will be
relieved by night messenger each night.
The Baltimore & Ohio Express Company have

and Ohio & Mississippi expresses. Hereafter
the old Marietta & Cincnnnti and the Ohio &
Mississippi expresses will have no existence in
fact, but the whole will be known as the Balti-

The Adams Express Company is making an
aggressive movement in the territory occupied
by the Baltimore & Ohio Express, and it is be-
lieved that it will lead to war on rates between

! guardian. Kosciusko c. G.
Bicknell, @. C.-Appeant's complaint averred
among other things, that Sehoper had purchased at
execution sale lot of appellants and induced him
not to redeem the lot by promising that he would take
the sherifs deed and hold it until repaid out of the
rents and profits, and that he has been repaid out of
the rents and profits; that Schoper claims to be
the absolute of the property under his purchase
Such an agreement will not be held void under the
statute of frauds. (91 Ind, 305) The subsequent
sale under mortgage held by Schoper was yoidable
because the sheriff had authority to sell without
appraisement. (25 Ind, 45S rs i'd, 53S; n i'd

Will Turn the Roads Over to the Litigants.
If parties who suing the railroad compan-
les are to secure all the damages they are claim
ing of late, it would be well for the railroad
companies to turn the roads over to them in
payment Within the last thirty days one In
dianapolis railroad company has been sued for
$9OO damages, another for $4,000, a
third for $4,000 and a fourth for
$40, O0O and two others for $l5, 900 and $40 900
respectively In one case, where $40, 900 is
asked, man drove on to the track against
the protest of his wife and daughter, all seeing
the train approaching. The wife was killed and
both horses, yet he thinks he should have dam
ages. In another case a man had his arm
crushed between the cars, and it was necessary
to amputate. The same had a positive order
that, in all cases, a stick must be used in coup
ling cars, but he was using none. A high official
of one of the Indianapolis roads remarked, yes
terday, that their company was always ready to
pay reasonable damages and could, nine times
out of ten settle with parties did not these cheap
lawyers interfere and make the injured party
believe that they were entitled to big damages.
