'HE DEFENSE.

The first witness for the defense was
Phillip Heiser, father Of the prisoner. The
gentleman only testified to having lived in
the house with his SON and family for two
months. during which time he noticed the
girl, Maud Dillon. frequently going TO Heis-
er's bed during his Wifes absence.

next took the stand. The girl is very frail
looking, being probably 4 feet, inches in
height and would weigh about IS pounds.
She has very pretty face, which is set of
by large dark eyes and coal black hair.
Her evidence vas substantially this

years ago, and took advantage of every op-
portunity. He told me to tex the story

The witness started to tell Of the exper-
fence ofanOther little girl and herself with
the prisoner il a bed room, when Col. Ar
nett hastily interrupted her, claiming that
what might have happened to another girl
had nothing to do with this charge
and that the prisoner was
specifically charged in the warrant with one
crime, and any evidence leading toward
another crime, though il be Of the same
nature, vas not admissible. The court sus-
tanned Col Arnetfs objection. The gIrl
also elaim'd that the last wrong doing hap
pened three days prior to the birth Of the
child. The State rested on The above eyi-

Mr.. James b. Wantman, the agent for the
American Express Company in this city, re-
turned yesterday from Bloomington, where he
made Investigations concerning the recent muir

near that town. The safe which was robbed is
now in the city. Contrary to report, only 81, 500

covered by Mr.. Wantman. The baggage-master
Peter Weber, may recover from his wound.
but the express messenger, George x. Davis,
cannot possibly recover. Nothing has yet been
heard Of the tramp.

thought advisable by the Auditor to set apart
$500, 600 of the temporary loan for the expenses
OF constructing the new insane hospital build

were SO heavy that this could not be done. The
semi-annual settlements will begin on the 18th

Logansport Journal.
Mr.. Lamar's closing the Interior Department
on the death of Jacob Thompson was a scandal
lous blunder, and his chief subordinate in the
Pension Bureau made an ass of himself in try
ing to get Miss Sweet out of office. Mr.. Man
ning's selection of Mr.. Higgins, at the instance
of Senator German, was a gross offense to the
civil-service reformers. But both put together
have not made so many bad plumbers as Mr..
Bayard. No other Cabinet officer has used his
patronage so unhesitatingly for the benefit
of his political friends, and in ut
ter disregard of questions of COM
parative merit, to say nothing of
any ideas of civil service reform. No other has
made so many unhappy selections for high and
important offices. To send the counsel of the
Emma Nine to the court of st. James: to select
for Italy a Roman Catholic who publicly ex-
pressed the coarsest censure of the ~reigning
sovereign's father; to assign two other missions
to disqualified participants in the Rebellion, and
to make up our embassadorial staff of nobodies,
who swear by Mr.. Bayard, was not enough. He
must get the whole country agog to watch a
quarrel with a colored man, in which the citizen
of African descent shows himself the better gen.
tleman.

Don't Worry n Pennsylvania People.

A new schedule goes into effect on the Balti-
more q Ohio railroad next Sunday. The most
important changes will be made on trains coming
into competition with fast runs on the Panhan-
die and TT Wayne roads-Pennsylvania Comp
pany.s lines-between Pittsburg and Cincinnati
and Chicago. The Pennsylvania people arc not
worrying much over the moves of the b. & O.
First Assistant General Passenger Agent G. O.
Sc1ll says: THAT is 10 great stab. We are
ahead yet in this fight. BY our schedule we
beat them to Cincinnati by two hours and fifty
minutes. and on the return trip by two hours
and forty Ave minutes. Their distance is 326
miles and ours is 3l3 miles. We leave Cincin-
natl at 8 o'clock in the evening and we could
start at 10 O'Clock just as we'll and get here the
same hour next morning. We can. if necessary,
shorten our run two hours more but it is not re-
CURED now by the travelling public. AS to the
Chicago run we make it in thirteen and fourteen
noars by different trains and that goes ahead Of
tSnem snroe and four hours. / guess we will try
and Keep ahead of them"

Hauling Freights Too Cheap.

100 pounds of grain from Chicago to New York,
including the proportionate share of every charge
and expense of a railroad, ranges from twenty
to twenty-four cents. The actual cost of the haul
itself ranges from fifteen to seventeen cents per
100 pounds. V. T. Malott, vice-president of the
Union Railway Company, who has given the
matter of transportation careful study, says there
is not one mill to the railroad where it hauls 100
pounds of grain from Indianapolis to New York
at less than twenty cents per 100 pounds, and
that to leave a fair margin to the railroads the
rate sheuld never be less than twenty three
cents per 100 pounds. Indianapolis to New York,
or twenty-five cents, Chicago to New York.

HAvERLYS MINSrRELS AT THE GRAND OPERA
HOUSE.
Mr.. Haverly can congratulate himself in the
thought that his present organization is the best
minstrel company he has ever presented to the
public. The audience assembled at the Grand
last night was one that tested the
capacity of the house, and their applause was
continuous. The company Is an exceedingly
large one, and the features of the entire pro-
gramme were satisfactory. The absence of stale
Jokes was very noticeable. The first part, with
Mr.. Robert Slavin, Mr.. Lew Spencer, Mr..
Carol Johnson and Mr.. George German
on the end. was enjoyable in the ex-
treme to lovers of minstrelsy. The
songs were good, and the ballads Of Mr..
Edwin Harley and Mr.. Raymond Shaw won
worthy e~ncores, as did other songs rendered.
Witch with Mr. Charles Oren's exhibition of
dancing, was a noticeable feature and especially
clever. The act Of the Gomans won hearty ap-
plause. Mr.. Bob Slavin, in his stump speech,
made the decided comedy hit of the programme,
and the ventriloquist, Duncan, and the wonder
full Cragg family, surprised the audience by
their marvellous acrobatic feats. The finale and
the song and dance should not be forgotten.
The company gave the best minstrel show seen
here this season.
Miss Emily Bingham gave a reading at Ply
mouth Church last night.
Theodore Thomas comes to the English Opera
house on May IL. The concert promises to be
the musical event of the season.
The Old World Gem Company and little
Nugget" will be the attractions at the Grand and
English's, respectively, for next week.

SO much is said nowadays regarding fast
runs "reminiscences of fast running in the early
days Of railroading come well in place, and will
rather surprise those who are not we'll posted
regarding the matter. We fEd in referring to
the time table of the New York Central e. Hud-
son River road that during the summer of 1858.
trains were run between New York and Albany
on regular time schedule based upon ffty-two
miles per hour. Coming nearer home, we find
that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, in the
years 1856 and 1857. run a train daily, Sunday ex-
cepted, las in those days the Sabbath was re-
spected) from Cincinnati to Dayton. sixty miles,
in one hour and thirty-fve minutes, time
taken for three stops to be deducted
In 1856 a fast train on the Chicago 81 North
western road was run regularly for months from
Chicago to Freeport, 125 miles, in two hours and
forty minutes, time to make five stops to be de-
Quoted. So it would seem there is little room
for boasting Of the high speed at which trains are
now run. In 1860, when John Brough was rresi-
dent of the Bee-line for some months, the running
time between Union and indianapolis was two
hours and ten minutes, time taken to make nine
stops to be deducted. The engines which hauled
these trains were the Cleveland and the Union,
Cuyahoga build. John Brunton, in charge of
the Brightwood railroad mems home, ran one of
them. and Steve Ladd, now a well-to-do
farmer near Union, ran the other,
and it should be borne in mind that in those days
there were no automatic ir-brakes in use, only
hand brakes. There were no s~teel-rail tracks
weighing seventy pounds to the yard. However
there is no special point here, as the iron rails
then in use were probably better than the best
present steel rails. Then, again, wood was
burned to make steam, and it is claimed that
coal generates steam much more freely than does
wood. So it seems that, after all, the fast run
ming of to day Is nothing to boast of when COM
pared with that of the years 1852, 1856 and 1857.
However this should be considered, locomotives
and cars of those days were much lighter, and
SO were the trains run. The light engines
of the New York Central and the G., III. & ID.
would experience a good deal of trouble in haul
ing many of the passenger trains of the present
day. In fact. it is questionable whether they
could start with q train the length Of one of the
fast mail trains run over the c., st.
L.. & P. and the Vandalia. In this con-
nection there is an amusing in
cident as to the running of the c., 81. D. trains.
The conductor of one of these trains, who
is now an official Of the road, says he was about
ten feet taller then than now, as at that time he
was looked upon as the big man of the West.
When walking the streets of Cincinnati people
who passed him on the street would stop, turn
back and remark: There goes the man that
runs the fast trains to Dayton" Some would
say: well, don't want his job"

are to make their report at the next meet
ing OF the National Association, which
meets at Minneapolis, Mimi, June %.
The National Association is composed of repre-
sentatives from eighty or ninety railroads in the
United States. AT present various systems of
distributing cars are in use among the various
railroads of the country. On some roads the
superintendent of transportation distributes all
their cars directly between divisions. Others dis
tribute their cars directly between stations, while
others haveno general car istributor, but distrib-
ute through division superintendent. The aim of
the association is to bring into use the most
perfect movement of cars, reduce unnecessary
handling and secure proper loading for foreign
cars. At present if q foreign car comes on TO a
railroad that road pays threefourths Of q cent
per mile for the use of the car, and If il has to
haul back an empty car the road is just SO much
out. 1t is the object of this movement, among
other things, to save this expense.
