An Attorney Fined for Contempt.

During trial in Judge Taylor's court, yester-
day. Hon. Solomon Claypool intimated openly
that he had been treated unfairly by the court.
Judge Taylor said: Your language is con-
temptibe and beneath the dignity of an attor-
ney." Mr.. Claypool intimated that the Judge
would not say such thing if he was off the
bench, and the court at once directed the clerk
to enter fine against him for $50 for contempt
threatening to add Imprisonment if further re-
Elections were made. Mr. Claypool offered to
pay the fine at once, but the court said the rec
ord was not made up yet, and thus the matter
rested. The two gentlemen have long been per-

the most troublesome to connections, which usual

The organization of "a train dispatchers mu-

there seems to be lack of some man to take the

some forty train dispatchers, or men employed
in work of that character. In Indiana there are
said to be 1GO train dispatchers. In the United
States there are 744 railways, on which there are
an average of three train dispatchers at least
making total of some $780, and it
would seem that out of such large
body of bright men an association
could be formed which would be credit to

Vanderbilt on Railroad Matters.

President Vanderbilt has been talking of late
a good deal with newspaper reporters and often
drops some very sensible remarks on railroad
management in general. lie said, recently: IF
I own majority of the stock of a road, believe
that persons in the minority have rights just the
same. My doctrine is to recognize everyone's
rights, and to run railroads that l control in the
interests of people who have put their money in
them" ",There's plenty of confidence said Mr.
Vanderbilt in answer to the question: how can
confidence in American securities be restored in
London} "Englishmen don't invest in home Sc
curities. They send their money over here.
There are forty-two millions of our stock held
there" ''Now here" continued Vanderbilt, pick
ing up paper, sis another report that have

The TrunI-Llne Pool Still In MuddIed Con
ditiOn.


C0nversative railroad men are now looking
forward to the re-establishment of pools at
indianapolis, Peoria, Terre Haute, and in fact
the organizing of pools at all points where there
is sharp competition. AS now constituted it is
evident that the trunk-hne pool has failed in
its attempts to force maintenance of rates,
yet it has doubtless done much to prevent rail
road wars and rates becoming more demoralized
than they have been. But since organized the
trunkline pool seems to have been involved in
just enough difficulty to keep the public under
standingof the actual condition of its affairs in
beautifully muddled condition. No one, of
course, supposes that all the reports circulated
about the cutting of rates are truthful, but I'M
questionably some of them are. and this natur-
ally leads to decentralization, That the manage
ment of two of the trunk lines, at least have
acted honorahly in the matter of living up to
the pooling agreements is unquestioned; but that
they will continue to be lookers-en can hardly be
expected. Hence the anxiety of railroad officials
who deprecate railroad wars, that the
proposed pools and clearing house be put
in working order as early as practicable.

THE OLD NAN"
10! steadfast and serene,
In patient pause between
The seen and the unseen,
What gentle zephyPs fan
Your silken-silver hair,
And what diviner air
Breathes round you like prayer,
Old Man!
Can you, in nearer view
OF glory, pierce the blue
OF happy heaven through,
And, listening mutely, can
Your senses, dull to us,
Hear angel-voices thus,
En chorus glorious
Old Mani
In your reposeful gaze
The dusk of autumn days
Is blent with April haze,
As when of old began
The bursting of the bud
Of rosy babyhood-
Whom all the world was good,
Old Man.
And yet find sly
Little twinkle in your eye;
And your whisperingy shy
Little laugh is simply an
Internal shout of glee
That betrays the fallacy
You'd perpetPate on me.
Old Man!
So Just put up the frOwn
That your brows are pulling down!
Why, the heetest boy in town,
As he barred his feet and ran,
Could read with half glance
And of keen rebuke perchance--
Yonr secret countenanee,
Old Mani
Now, honestly, confess:
Is an old man any less
Than the little child we bless
And caress, when we cana
Isn't age but just place
Where you mask the childish face
To preserve its inner grace
Old Man?
Hasn't age truant day,
just as that you went astray
In the wayward, restless way,
When, brown with dust and tan,
Your roguish face essayed
In solemn masquerade,
To hide the smile it made
Old Mani
Now, fair, and square, and true,
Don't your old soul tremble through,
As in youth it used to do
When it brimmed and oyerran
With the strange, enchanted sights,
And the splendors and delights
OF the old Arabian Nights

When, haply, you have Jared
Where glad Aladdin shared
His lamp with you, and dared
The afpite and his clan;
And, with him, clambered through
The trees where jewels grew
And filed your pockets, too,
Old Man!
Or, with Sindbad, at sea-
And in veracity
Who has sinned as bad as he,
Or would, or will, or CAM
Have you listened to his lies,
With open mouth and eyes,
And learned his art likewise
Old Mani
And you need not deny
That your eyes We're wet as dry,
Reading novels on the sly!
And review them, if you can,
And the same warm tears will fall
Only faster, that is all
Over Little Nell ard Paul,
Old Man!
o, you were lucky lad
Just as good as you were bad!
And the hosts of friends you had
Charley, Tom, and Dick and Dan;
And the old school-teacher too,
Though ne often eepsured you;
And the glrls in pink and blue,

And-as often you have leant,
In boyish sentiment,
To kiss the letter sent
By Nelly, Belle or Nan
Wherein the roses hue
Was red. the violet blue
And sugar sweet-and you,

And the sweetness. and perfume
