The grand military ball at the College-avenue

The Adjustment Progressing Slowly.

G. L. Ashurst, trustee of the Indianapolis,
Decatur & Springfield bondho1ders, did not
reach this city from the East until late last
night, and nothing of Importance was done yes
terday in the way of settlement
of the matter of the l., B. s.
W. surrendering the lease Of the l., D. & S.
than has heretofore been noted While there is lit
tie doubt that the road will again come into the
hands of the Hammond syndicate, there is more
trouble in adjusting matters than had been anti
cpated One thing is quite that's that the
l., B. IL W. people are fully as anxious to unload
the road az are the l., d. & S. people to take it,
although the latter find that there is general
desire among business men of this city and on
the line of the road that the property should re
vert to the original operators of the line, the
chief reason being that it will be operated more
as local road.

Saloon-KeeDers Organizing.

The Personal Liberty Protective Association,
composed Of liquor dealers, met yesterday to or
ganice new secret league in this city, and
throughout the State, which will oppose all
sumptuary laws and their enforcement The
new order win include butchers, bakers dairy
men, druggists, grocers, tobacconists, and all
vocations wherein self-interest will come in con.
tact with Sunday laws. 1t is the purpose of the
organization to exclude from membership all dis
orderly saloons, and make the business respecta-
ble The members will be governed bv strict
constitution, and the organization will viz
tua,ly the same purpose as tho old Trades AS
sembly," which has outlived its usefulness.

Complimentary to the management.

The Ohio Southern reports aggregate earnings
for the month of February at $43, $40, against
S28,12l for the corresponding month Of last year,
an increase of $i54l6. This is very encour-
aging showing, particularly as many other roads
have been reporting losses for the month, and as
there was one day less in February thisyear than
last The road for over two years past has been
steadily increasing its gross earnings, and with
general prosperity reviving the industries of the
country it will undoubtedly become divi-
aend payer. For the calendar year 1882, the
Eotal earnings were 1928, 4~<>ir 1883 they were
1864, 09O and in 1884 $472. 2O2. In two years
they have increased $l43, GOO, or about "a per
cent. and the year 1885 bids fair to exceed the
record Of 1884. The come-out 10 this road since
D. r. Henderson took the position of general
manager is certainly creditable to him and fort
innate for the ownership

A Hoosier Who Attracts Attention.

PhIInueIPhlh FTtbb
A brotherin-law OF the new Vice-president
excites no little interest among frequenters of
the Fifth.avenue Hotel. He is q retired physi-
elan named Pierce and lives in ease and lux
ury in palatial house on Twenty-thrd street
just after his marriage in Indianapolis thirty
years ago, he built house for himself and wife,
which, for those days, was paatial. IT was a
three-story brick, with q Mansard roof. While
the workmen we're completing their labor, the
door suitable for such house without running
himself in debt. He therefore boarded up the
front entrance and made his bride and her
friends enter the house through the rear door
until no accumulated enough money to purchase
tho one he wanted.

GILBERT G. sULLIvANs NEW OPERA.
London Gable Special.
The name of the new Gilbert & Sullivan opera,
which is about to be made public is 'The
Mikado; or, The Tom of Titipi.' This title
deserts the magical eight letters made promi
nent by every other title as we'll as the lucky
letter p. Mr.. Grossmith will play the part of
the Lord High Exeeutioner. Mr.. Dunsard Lely
will appear as his long lost son. Mr.. Rutland
Darlington as a Japanese nobleman who is a
puralist politician, holding all the fat Offices and
Mr.. Temple as the Mikado Miss Leonora Braham
plays the enforced fancee of the executioner.
The Mikado is in love with her. His son has
disappeared in the disguise Of troubadour
because he was ordered to marry Miss Brand
ram, an elderly spinster at court. He meditates
suicide, and is apparently heheaded. Finally
the pluralist Office holder signs number Of
documents allowing him to return to life and
marry Miss Braham The Mikado acknowledges
him, and Mr.. Grossmith marries Miss Brandram.
The plot is full of laughable confusion and hits
at English abuses and humbugs under Japanese
license. Miss Jessie Bond has fine part.
There is sweet trio between her, Miss Braham
and Miss Brandram. There is much original
treatment both in the iibretto and the music
with Japanese scenes dresses and ballet. The
piece will be produced next Saturday night

Southwestern industries will be serious.
The ramfcations Of the system" are
such that any general suspension
throughout its length must seriously
affect the business of other roads; but there
seems to be no necessary reason for anticipating
the spread of dsafection to lines not involved
in the controversy. The dispute is a simple one
concerning work and wages, but such disputes
have an unfortunate facility in involving other
questions with themselves. The method is an
exceedingly costly and clumsy one, and, apart
clumsiness should prompt thinking men, both
employers and employed, to devise some other
more rational and more satisfactory method of
adjusting differences of opinion with respect to
hours of work and rates of pay.

Cannot Be Run on the "Cheaps."

1t is to be feared that in the organization of
the indianapolis Car-weighing Association a
penny wise and pound-foolish policy is to be
adopted. Unless there is some fearful exaggera-
ton as to the overlooking of cars, the move
ment, should it cost as much to operate the
association as it does in Chicago or st. Louis, in
the end will pay a handsome return. 1t is
stated that thousands of dollars have been saved
to the st. Louis and Chicago roads through their
respective associations 1t is no child's play at
those points. The weighmasters are obliged to
sign the following oath in the presence of proper
witnesses: Il, --, being employed as weigher
for the Western Railway Weighing Association,
all the duties devolving Upon me by reason of
such position, and that will correctly weigh
and report to the local agent of the weighing
association all car lots handled by me, SO help
