The road was leased to the Pennsylvania com
pany from 1873 with a guarantee OF interest on
bonds and per cent. on stock. The lease was
modified from january l, 1880, the lessees to pay
over all the net earnings to the j.. NJ d ]. com
pany. In 1881, the Pennsylvania Company pur-
chased 81 939 900 of the stock. Dividends were
at the rate of per cent per annum till May,
1880, and reduced afterward. In 1882 interest
on bonds was $4,000 and sinking fund
$l0o, 600, leaving deficit for the year of $7401

1880, as extensive improvements have been made

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.


Including the new Esidetrack put in at this
point by the c., l., St L. & C. people in the last
few months, the company has at indianapolis
81, sos feet of side track, or eighteen miles and
2s6s feet.
The Wabash people are making an excellent time
record with the fast-freight express trains west
ward. 1t is generally run in three sections, and
during the past fifty seven days it has not missed
being on time.
Decoration Day was quite generally observed
by the employees on the indianapolis roads The
city freight depots were closed at 10 A. NJ, and
on but two or three of the roads were local
freight trains run
Receiver Henderson, of the Danville, Olney &
Ohio river road, Is of the opinion that the road
has saved enough this month to pay operating
expenses, something it has not done for many
months, it is stated.
The Union Switch and Signal Company, of
Pittsburg report very large amount of work on
hand, and much more expected, Appliances of
their system were recently put in at wilkins
burg, on the Pennsylvania railroad. This switch
and signal at the crossing of the Bee-lme and
Belt road will be ready for service next week
The handsomest and one of the most costly
trains ever run through Indianapolis will be run
Gu Monday by the Big -Four, from Cincinnati to
Chicago. 1t will consist of a new baggage car,
five of the new parlor and reclining chair cars
owned by the company, and four Pullman sleep
ing coaches hauled by one of the large, new
engines, Schenectady build.
Mr.. McWade, of the Pennsylvania road, has
devised plan for doing away with so large a
variety of baggage checks, greatly simplifying
the modern checking system, which is a consid-
cradle expense 20 a system like that of the Penn
sylvania road. And this expense being rapidly
growing one is likely to prove as important as
did the question of coupon tickets a few years
since 10 the passenger Departments
The Hunter spark -arrester, now in use on sew
eral of the Vandalia engines, is performing ad
mirably. No sparks pour out of the stack, and
the steaming Of the engine is not interfered
with. The spark receptacle is large enough to
hold all sparks dropped by an engine running
over the road when hauling several cars, but
not when hauling twelve to fourteen cars This
trouble is to be remeded by constructing receipt
acles of larger dimensions,
Competitors of the Wabash are now anxious
lest, with the road being in the hands of re-
ceiver. they will indulge freely in ratecutting.
This fear grows out of the fact that under a
former Peceiyership their road then paid but
little attention to the tariff. Railroad men, how
ever, who look at the situation calmly, express
the opinion that the road will be in the hands of
a receiver but a few months, or, only until they
can unload the leased lines, which have been
barnacles on the Wabash system proper.

A Road Pays Dearly for the ReckIessness of
One of Its Engineers.

So apt are railroad engineers more especially
runners who are young in the business, to blow
their whistles or open their cylinder cocks when
they see a horse that frightens easily, we call
their attention to a recent decision of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in the case of
Apologize VS.. the Camden & Atlantic road.
APPLICABLE was driving horse along a road run
ming parallel to the railroad near Berlin Station
The horse was not afraid of engines and conse-
quently Apologize had no hesitation in driving
alongside of and past one of them, which was
standing, with cars attached on the track
When he was within twenty feet of the engine
the engineer blew "a loud and unusual whistle, )"
which caused the horse to rear and to back the
wagon towards the track. APpiegate jumped out
of the wagon, caught the horse by the head
and halooed at the top of his voice to the
man on the engine not to do that again.
He then quieted the horse and started
to lead him past the engine. While passing, the
engineer deliberately blew off steam right under
the horses belly and then whistled again. The
horse jumped clear of the gears and knocked APP
plegate down, inflicting an ineurable injury to
the spine, attended with hernia and deformity of
the back. He had been man of fine physique
and health but the accident left him a physical
wreck.
The judge charged the jury thatif after having
blown his whistle the engineer saw, or with
proper care might have seen, the plaintiff S
wagon, and that his horse was becoming unman-
ageable and carelessly or wantonly blew another
blast of the steam or whistle the company would
be responsible. The jury found q verdict in favor
of Appellate for S., coo. The railroad company
carried the case to the Supreme Court, which
confirmed the verdict of the lower court

The Bedrock Democrat chronicles
an awful tragedy at Canyon City.
Moons, shoemaker, on being told by
his wife that their child was dying,
replied: DWELL, we might as we'll all
die together!' and drawing his pistol
shot her, and then shot himself
through the neck, dying instantly.
The child died few moments follow
ing. The woman still fingered but
could not live. w. G.. McFadden,
editor of the Grant County News, was
the cause of the terrible deed. He
had been intimate with Mrs. Moons,
and the husband, crazed by its dis
covery, committed the crime. Nc
Fadden fled, and just in time to es-
cape death at the hands of the indig-
nant citizens, who had been cognizant
of his improper relations with the
woman. McFadden, we believe, run
the Weiser Leader short period
three years ago.
Since the above was in type, a gen
tleman just arrived from Canyon City
has been interviewed, who gives quite
another version of the affair. He SAYS
that Moons had never expressed i'll
will toward McFadden, but to the
contrary, had ever held him In best
esteem. Moons had for some time
been respondent, and had on several
occasions threatened suicide. He had
been out of town several weeks, and
returning on Saturday of last week,
found his little child of three years
dying. Moons was very devoted to
his child, and as he watched it pass
ing away, turned to his wife and said
well, we might as well all die to-
gether," at the same time drawing a
pistol and shooting her in the face
The wife fell, and as outsiders were
approaching the window, Moons plac.
ed the pistol under his chin, blowing
his head to atoms. McF'adden, as g
matter of course, had enemies, who
immediately turned to declaring hin
responsible for the consequences
opinlon was at first quite strong
against McFadden, but the gentleman
says as soon as the truth was learned
1t changed to his favor, and the ac
tons of his enemies are now severely
criticised. Mrs. Moons is recovering
and has given a full statement of tn,
oecurrence.-[ Idaho Democrat

on such an Institution, Of The real de-
mand for building up one in this part
81 the country, We came 70 the conelu-
siuu that had been expressed 20 u8 II
Ottawa months before that q taeIa
good locality and that we could enter
upon the work Of building up such an
Institution with the support Of the
people and with perfect co1fdence In
its ultimate triumphant success.
Indeed the success Of the enterprise
seemed almost assured. The Board
was composed Of representative men
and the donors TO the institation-of
whom there1Was . large number-
seemed equally interested in the en-
teEprise.
Large sums Of money had been con-
tfibuted, faithful and efficient work
had been performed, and everything
was aKlOW with the flaming assurauce
Of successful enterprise. Never IN
all the history Of the past has Il been
my fortune 70 meet with an educa-
tiOnal board made up Of any better
and more liberal class Of citizens.
Never had I met with men stronger
in the faith Of the results Of their
work. With q $50, 000, 90 subscription
staring me In the face, and remem-
bering that q tree Is known by its
/ fruits and that men are known by the
character Of their works, my conf
denee In the whole scheme became
/ undoubted.
Time forbids thatI should mention
/ their names or pay 70 them the per-
sonal tributes due 20 their artnous
toll.
Grounds had 10 be purchased, build
| fngs erected and furnished, numerous
/ contracts were to be made and upon
the whole the board Of trustees had
much work TO do, and ] as President
Of the faculty had a very important
/ duty 70 discharge We were kept
| separated bv six hundred miles OF dis
lance from January 20 July and all
! the preparatory work for opening
/ such an institution had to be carried
on by correspondence. In May the
first publication appeared looking 70
the inception Of our educational
work.
Time passed on and in July did
establish myself on the ground and
commence vigorously the discharge OF
my duty. How well the board o.
trustees have discharged their duty Il
| L4aut ClcuLAN appAAGuA " lNl " lux
magnificent structure that we open
tonight. How well have dis
charged my duty, how wisely l hav'
acted in the selection Of q corps o
teachers, how successful this institu
ton will be In attracting young men
and women from q distance, tint
alsne can answer. The various mem
bers Of the faculty were selected on
account Of their adaptibility 10 the
work they were expected to perform
Each member was here ready 10 dis
charge his duty at the appointed tim'
and gladly do I say that on the I'd da.
Of September 1854, the advertised time
did we begin our educational wOrl
with the hearty cooperation and ap
proval Of the entire community.
Now that we have reached tie rea
inception ofSallna Normal Universit!
we feel that we shall have tbs heart

forts to build it up In Central, Sunny
