THE LAFAYETTE FORGER.
Joshua Roseberry Succeeds in Making Good
His Escape, Probably to Canada.

The telegram sent from this city to lafayette
by Chief of Police Lang to arrest Joshua Il.
Roseberry Lafayette attorney, for forgery,
came too late Roseberry got away, and is now
thought to be in Canada. Roseberry was deputy
clerk of Tippecanoe county for years, and was
thoroughly acquainted with the Office and the
provisions of the law, by which he made his forg
cry success. He lost his place last November,
because of mis- irattention to business occasioned
by his passion for gaming Since that time he
has been admitted to the clerks Office as a prac-
ticing attorney, and thus obtained the clerks
seal. He probably entered the Office, and when
no one was looking, slipped the papers from his
pocket and stamped them with the seal On on e
of the papers he had been in such a hurry that
he did not even wait to unfold the paper, but
stamped it as it was folded, the stamp showing
through four thicknesses of the paper.
His method was to present claims against the
State as guardian for heirs of unclaimed estates
for comparatively small amounts appointing
himself guardian, and forging all the names
needed, including that of the Attorney general.
In one of these applications he made the mistake
that caused the discovery of his crookedness. In
the order reference was made to moneys col
lected on the estate by Daniel P Baldwin, At
torney general, on May 3, 1877. The Auditor of
State knew that Baldwin was not Attorney-ge
eral in 1877, and sent the papers back to Rose
berry to be corrected, when the forgeries were
made apparent. The State will use every eff
fort to effect his capture His wife was visited

Miscellaneous Notes,

The general Offices of the Atlantic & Pacific
road have been permanently located at Albu-
querque.
The Cambria Iron and Steel Rail Company, at
'Johnstown is considering the erection of extens-
i've additions to its works.
The receiver of the c., Y. & P. railway, Judge
Martin. of Steubenville, denies the report that
the Baltimore & Ohio company are about to buy
that road.
The Atlantic & Pacific company pay off on the
entire road 800 900 per month. At Albuquerque
alone $23, 600 is distributed among Its employees
every thirty days.
There is talk of the extension of the Baltimore
81 Ohios Somerset 81 Cambria branch from
fifty miles, to connect with the Rochester Il
Pittsburg railroad.
The lumber traffic of the Pacific roads is stead
lily on the wane. During the recent years of
railroad expansion there was an almost unlimited
demand for lumber to build temporary struct-
ures, and it is not wonderful that mills were
multiplied, even though almost all the logs that
came to them were of an inferior quality. Now
that the business of building railroads in new
territory has almost come to standstill, there is
an immense falling off in the demand for the
poor stuff which constitutes the great bulk of the
lumber turned out by the mills.
A cantalever bridge, 479 feet long, has Just
been completed over the st. Johns river which
connects the colonial and American railway sys-
TENS, and reduces the distance between New
York and Halifax by rail to GAO miles. It is ex-
pected to greatly reduce the ratio of freight be-
tween Philadelphia, New York and Boston and
the British provinces, and will revolutionize the
fish business Of the Gulf of St Lawrence, the

The Truth in Art.

If the art collection OF the so caNed worlds
fair here at New Orleans is small, it has the ad-
vantage of being thoroughly American The
cheerful frying and roasting of saints. and the
posing of the wives and 'mstresses of cold mas
ters," as Madonnas, are conspicuous by their alb
sence. Neither is the cherub business overdone,
nor are there acres of impossible landscapes and
indecent Venuses and Bacchantes.
Some of the pictures in the American division
are very beautiful. One of them, while not pre-
tending to be much of painting, greatly struck
my fancy. 1t is happily named "Bracing Up, y
and is hung next to the Christian Martyrs in the
Coliseum. An old farmer in his shirt sleeves
patched as to trowsers, and red and stumpy as
to beard, is taking down from a cupboard, on one
side of which is affixed coffeeml, fiat bottle,
and is pouring out noon-tide drink of forty rod
His heavy, dull eyes are intent upon the glass,
and his partly opened mouth is assisting
In the measurement, very much as a boy
uses his tongue and screws up his lips to help
his handwriting. A rag carpet on the floor
and sleepy cat in the rocking chair, complete
the surroundings. The old man has stolid, bu-
collie look--evldently never dreamed dreams
or saw visions and the range of his aspira-
tons never went much beyond the satisfaction of
good square meal and pipe and a gossiping
neighbor afterwards. Yet, Notwithstanding the
unpretentiousness of the scene of the picture,
the artist has hit the great secret of all success

the open secret of the greatness of the most con-

randall, nineteen years of age was en-
pioyed by the superintendent of the boiler
department of the appellant as helper to one
Walker, whose duty it was to operate a ''fiange
puncher" Randall, as no alleged, on the second
day of his service was ordered by Walker to
clean the machine while it was in motion, and
while doing so his hand was caught in the ma
chine and permanently injured. Held: That
where an inexperienced servant is put under
subsection to a foreman or superintendent, Of
whatever grade without other directions as to
his duties, save only that he is to
obey the foreman, and with no caution or in
struction except such as the foreman is relied on
to give, the master must take the risk of the
prudence and circumspection Of the foreman,
and if he exercises the unlimited authority thus
committed to him by commanding the inexperi-
enced servant to his hurt, into unknown un
appreciated danger, the master must respond.
But IN this case, as both the master and the
servant had equal knowledge of the danger of
the service required and of the means of avoid
ing such danger, and as Randall did not give
proper attention to the work he was set to do, by
reason of which want OF attention he sustained
his injury. the master is not liable

ern termini of the trunk-line roads, so called;
the second district should include all territory
west of the trunk-line termni north
OF the Ohio river, south of the lakes,
and east of the Missouri river; the third district
to cover Southern roads, a fourth to cover South
western lines, fifth to cover Northwestern lines.
In each Of these districts should be rate bu-
reau which should meet twice year and fix the
basis OF rates. and adjust all questions over
which there is any dispute; the printing of
tickets and their distribution should be done by
the auditors department., and the ticket agent
only to sell tickets at the rates fixed by the rate
bureaus. This is the only scheme, Mr.. Dering
thinks, which win bring about maintenance of
rates. He says as long there are travelling
passenger agents and local passenger agents,
just so long will there be rate-cutting.
Another Railroad President Disguised with
Pools.
NJ. E. ingalls,. president of the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis & Chicago road, has mott
fed Commissioner Fink that, on April l, the c.,
l., St L.. & c. will withdraw its
membership in the trunk-line pool,
and will not thereafter be governed by the rul-
ings of the joint executive committee on either
Seneca or Indianapolis heretofore pool business.
President Ingalls, sets forth his reasons to Com
missioner Fink in lengthy letter in plain man
ner. Among other things he says that the
roads in the trunk-line pool out of
Chicago have sought to injure his
property and curtai his business in ways which
were dishonorable. Through the decision of the
joint executive committee he was forced to
charge higher rates from Davenport and
other Northwestern points than did the roads
which carried their business through
Chicago, the intention evidently being
to freeze out his Seneca line. which has become
popular one with shippers, so much better
time being made than when the property goes via
Chicago. Then again, the c., L., ST. l.. & c. has
as direct route from Chicago to Baltimore
as any other line, but is refused
per cent. in theeast-b bound pool out of Chicago.
Then again. President ingalls, takes the ground
that the trunk line pool covers too much terri
tory to be operated successfully. He plainly
tells Commissioner Fink that the
trunklne pool and the power of
its executive committee should control
the roads ending with the western termini of the
five trunk line roads, and that another pool
should cover the territory lying between the
western termini of the trunk lines and the Mis-
souri, river. Then he thinks the action of the
roads would be moro harmonious, and rates
would be maintained

The Sun comments as follows: " 1t has
not hitherto been found possible to
carry on any kind of free representa-
tive government without parties; and
it is in the collisions and developments
of party activity that the safety of
human freedom has always been found.
The only mode of reaching perfectly
non-partisan government that has yet
proved successful has been through
the abolition of liberty. In Russia
there are no parties or party contests,
because everything is ordered and
regulated by the single supreme fiat of
the car. In France, under the second
empire, an endeavor was made to arrive
at similar suppression of parties and
the substitution of the imperial will as
the sole and permanent ruling power.
But this attempt proved unsuccessful,
and on the first serious trial of strength
the imperial will itself was suppressed
and taken prisoner by the enemy"

Boston Advertiser.
WHAT the little organ of SANDER and
vituperation in the northeast corner of
Franklin county may charge against the
editor of the WATCHMAN is probably
of small consequence to the public and
it gives us little personal concern. But
lest its latest charge may afford some
comfort to the mugwumps and other
enemies of the republican party, we
will briefly dispose of it. The state
ment that the editor of the WATCHMAN
was supporter of Tilden in 1876 is
wholly untrue. He was connected with
the st. Adams Messenger for only a
few weeks in that campaign, but he
gave Mr.. Hayes hearty support and
voted for him. Therefore, what the
little sorehead sheet treats as " notori-
Gus fact" is nothing better than a
wretched falsehood.
TIE frantic efforts of the notoriety-
seekers and the shrewd devices of
the tradesmen hunting for advertise
ments in connection with the passing
pageant are far too prominent on this
present occasion. 1t was, for example,
little less than an outrage upon the sur
viving family of General Grant, and
certainly it was an affront to the feel
ings of the people, for the New York
store at which Mrs. Grant and the
ladies of the bereaved household
ordered their mourning wardrobes, to
at once furnish a detailed invoice of
them for publication. 1t was, of course,
big advertisement for the house,
and that was evidently all that it cared
about. But the newspapers should
have known better than to countenance
such piece of impertinent peeping be-
hind the scenes. This is but one sample
of many similar incidents which have,
we feel sure, impressed all well ordered
minds unpleasantly.- Traveller.
