Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VINoENNEs, July IA very peculiar lawsuit
has just been decided in the Knox Circuit Court.
Last fall, during the heated election, Mr. Sam
Vile, Republican, bet with Mr. James Kackley,
Democrat, that r. J. Oglesby would beat Carter
Harrison, in Illinois, by 10000 votes. The
money was put in the hands of Chris Guess, a
Democratic saloon keeper. After the election
Vile claimed he won the bet, but the stake
holder would not give him the money. Vile
sued for the recovery of the stakes, 5000. Yes
terday the case was decided by Judge Maott's
court The Judge instructed the jury to find
verdict against the plaintiff Vile, because he
had sued for the whole amount, but the Judge
held that if Vile had sued for the recovery of
his own money he would have recovered it, AS
it is. he loses it. The defendant contended that
Vile had bet that Oglesby would beat Harrison
by 10000 majority and not by 10000 votes.

Michigan City's Lumber Trade.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MICHIGAN CITY, July 1.-The arrivals at this
port for the month of June were, propellers, 36;
schooners, s; being total of 44 vessels, with a
tonnage of 6,261. Cargoes, 5,5S0,0O0 feet of
lumber 1885, 900 lath, $780, 600 shingles and 1877
tons of pig-iron. This month shows smaller
number of arrivals at this port. and less business
done than in any previous month of June since
1878 when the arrivals were steam vessels
and 81 schooners, being total of
80. 1t will be seen that schoOners
were largely in the majority then. while
now the report shows that the ratio of schooners
to steam vessels has been reversed. The larg
est number of arrivals in June was in 1881, the
report showing thirty two propellers and ninety;
seven schooners, a total of 1919 vessels. In July
of the same year the number of arrivals at this
port were forty four propellers and ninety
schooners, l4l in all, being the largest number
of arrivals at this port in any one month since
the harbor was built. 1t may be of interest to
lumbermen to note that up to the year 1881 the
trade in lumber at this port by water had
steadily increased from the beginning, several
years before. Since 1881, however, the trade
has fallen off at very the ratio at
which, previous to that time, it had increased
