The Conotton Valley railway has been ap-
praised, preparatory to its SALE The valuation
fixed was $94S, 900.
A boom seems to have struck the stock of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois road. 1t has gained
ten points this week and is now well on to 70.
The bondhoiders of the Cleveland, Indiana e.
st. Louis are making arrangements to buy the
road and to extend it as soon as they acquire
possession.
The difference between what tho Union Pacific
railroad owes the United States for 1884 and
what the United States owes the Union Pacific
for government transportation ETC., for the same
year is only $47

road, at Birmingham, England, which was COM

fault and foreclosure. The property is said to
be in very bad condition, money having been
spent on it since its completion. 1t is particu-
larry unfortunate in not having any terminus in
Chicago. Under the former arrangement it was
to pay $500, 900 to the Illinois Central for the
use of terminals, but it has never been obliged
to pay the Lake Shore anything for the use of
its tracks.

Another Finger in the Pie.

10 the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rnai:
Why must city buildings be ugly9 The new
depot is to be dacked with top-knots in the shape
of several ugly wooden pyramids. Pyramids
are the ugliest and the cheapest ugly things that
can be put on top of a building. Most of our
buildings would be more decent looking if their
top ornaments could be got rid Of To make a
good looking top seems to be beyond the power
of our architects Look at the ugly mass of
wood and galvanized iron on the top of the High
school, and look at the heavy arch of stone, sus-
tanned by little spndling stone doorposts, at the
entrance, and look at the ugly scrip inscription
on that arch. which should be the main orna-
ment Of the building. Money won't buy brains
nor taste; if it would we would buy some for our
city architects. What could have induced one
of them to put that big, cheap, ugly, useless
pyramid on top OF the Public Library2

America Waters Her Desert.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
All England is in an uproar and Parliament is
in frantic excitement because the British gov
ernment has bought some Yankee steam-pumps
for supplying water to the British army in the
Soudan. Buy where youcan buy cheapest and
best, the great English free trade watchword
is thrown to the winds; for cheapest and best"
means something outside of England. mot a
single penny paid by a British taxpayer should
be sent out Of the country say the English
newspapers They call the buying OF the pumps
the American outrage" and scold the govern
ment for its 'lack of business capacity" aud it's
''grandmotherly managing" and say British
taxes are employed to enrich rival nation,
while British artisans lack bread" In vain does
the British government declare that
American pumps are cheapest and
best and that English pumps
won't work satisfactorily, and that English
pumps would have imported the whole exped-
tlon and would have sacrificed a whole army of
brave Englishmen. That makes no difference;
the British people, both in the House of Com
mons and out, want a peremptory stop put to
American pumping. Now we know how much
their talk about buying where you can buy
cheapert and best is worth. Meantime, the
poor fellows in Soudan are going to have foun-
tains, baths, rivers, gardens lakes, all because
of few good American pumps.

Concealed or Doubtful Sex.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
In regard to Dr. Parcoast's great operation,
the case of Levi Suydam, related by DR.. Barry,
in the American Journal of the Medical Sciences
for July 1847, is of interest. In the spring of
that year he presented himself as a freeman, to
vote in contested election where his or her vote
was to decide the case. Dr. Barry, upon study
of the case pronounced SIT male. and entitled
to vote DR.. Ticknor, the medical counsel for
the other side, concluded the specimen female,
but on fuller discussion agreed with DIR. Barry
The family of which Miss or Mr.. Levi Suydam
was a member. insisted that except clothes, the
voter was feinale-but all the same, his vote
had been accepted This famous case is written
up in detail in all recent works on medical juris-
rondence-Taylors Woodlands, Iidys, etc.
Among tine cases of doubtful or concealed sex
is that of Eliza Edwards, who, though a male
passed for a female, and was attended by an EN-.
nent physician in his last illness, who had no
suspicion of the truth. The body sent to
Rays diSsecting room as female DIR. James
Barry, late 'staH assistant surgeon and inspector
of hospitals" who served many years in the
British army, and even fought one duel was an
undoubted female These mixed cases, to which
your recent editorial has given such prominence
are clasSed as manly women (androgynR) and as
womanish men tandrogyni) Lord Coke decided
that according to English law, ''they may be
either male or female, and shall succeed in in
heritance according to the sex which doth appear
to prevail" Whether the estate is entailed on
male oron female heirs is, of course. the point in
volved, and of difficulty John Hunter, in the
Philosophical Transactions, decided n number Of
these cases, but they were not neglected by the
Latin writer's as Ovid and Ansonius.
This condition, which is exceptional in yerte-
brates. is the normal condition in many of the
lower animals, as some snais and slugs and all
the intestinal worms, such as the tape and
round worm, the sexless fish WORN, the fresh
water polyp. and many OF the lower groups of
animals while conjugaton of the reproductive
elements is the rule in the vegetable world.

At the recent meeting of the presidents and
sioner Fink read long address setting forth the
benefits which the pooling agreements had con-
ferred ON the railroads and exhibiting statistics
to show how small had been the payment of
money balances which the roads had been COM
PEELED to make in the trunkline east bound pool
within the last three years. He warmly urged
that another attempt should be made to devise
| means for securing profitable rates to the com
panies. In commenting ON the pool situation
the New York Dial, bear on pools, says
There IS something OF the reformed drunkard
nature in the trunk-ines pool business. The
day after, when the hair pulls, the head aches
and the stomach is in state of revolt, good
resolutions galore are the order of the day. 1t
seems to be a continuous day after with the
railroads Witness the results of the meeting
just called by Commissioners Fink We have all
cut rates, and are doing i. now. but we won't do
SO any more Not till next time And the lit
tie drop Of good resolution is expected TO wash
away the great sins of the past Commissioners
Fink sums up as follows: The Grand Trunk has
agreed to remain in the pool until May Thirty
days longer) with view of making satisfactory
terms and rates in the meantime. Mr.. Newa
of the Lake Shore, and the Pennsylvania rail
road people have consented to this, and l am
only waiting now 10 hear from Mr. Ledyard, of
the Michigan Central, and Mr.. Caldwell, of the
Nickel plate. Both will probably acquesce.'
Of course they will. but will either Of the roads
stop cutting rates2 OF course they will not.
About the most honest feature of this whole
pool business is that the very pretense of main
tanning rates is not maintained now. The Michi-
gan Central is reported as taking wheat at Is
cents per 100 for shipment from Chicago to New
York, while the presidents are in session"

The Question of High License.

suppress the low and vile drinking places which
contribute solargely to the costs and crimes con-
nected with sippling." Now, does he mean that

The State Geolo-ist.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
was surprised to read from one of your cor
respondents Of yesterday that the professors Of
Wabash College had filed with the Governor a
protest against the appointment of Mr.. Maurice
Thompson, saying that they 'know him to be
wholly incapable, unfit and unqualified in the
slightest degree to fill the position he seeks. |"
In fairness to Mr.. Thompson and the faculty, it
should be said that no such document ever went
from Wabash College. So far as / know, no
professor ever wrote line concerning the mat
ter, excepting myself, and in that there was no
reference of any kind to Mr. Thompson.

The I. g. L. S. Receivership.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
.VINoENNEs, March 26-Mr. P. H Blue, an at
torney law of Sullivan, has been appointed re-
ceiver of the Indiana G. Illinois Southern rail-
road by the Sullivan Circuit Court and has
given bond. This action has been taken con
corning the Indiana division. Two weeks ago
Charles H. Steele, of Robinson, H., was
appointed receiver OF the Illinois division.
The road has always been an eyesore to the
inhabitants of the country along the line,
for the reason that it has been in be hape gen
orally. The last few months the road nas almost
been abandoned; the track was condemned as
unsafe and dangerous The receiver now has
full power TO make the line an acceptable one
and it is hoped by the people who We're taxed to
aid it in its infancy that it will rise out of its
worthless condition and become valuable ac-
QUESTION to the country through which it runs
The court ordered Receiver Steele to Issue Ger
tifcates to the amount of $780, 900 to raise funds
for payment on claims against the road. If
money is in this way raised in sufficient quant-
ties, and the certificates negotiated it is safe
to say that it will not be long before the Indiana
