Appointment of a Justice.

The County Commissioners yesterday appoint
ed Wesley Davidson justice of the peace for
West Indianapolis, and requested him to give
bond to hold court in that place. A great deal
of annoyance has been caused by persons
elected as justice for any one locality removing
their Offices to the business center of the city.
The last Legislature passed an act compelling
them to hold court in the place from which they
were chosen.

ages was taken as the basis for the reorganiza-
ton. Nothing was done, however, toward any
immediate restoration of passenger rates. The
Pennsylvania maintains its decided attitude on
the question presented. Having been slow to
enter the passenger rate contest it will not allow
it to be brought to a close until its objects have
been reached. The New York Central, even If
unwillinglv, must continue its contest with the
West Shore in passenger as we'll as freight rates,
and it is said the Boston e. Albany is opposed to
any settlement on account of the prospect of
heavy competition which the formation of the
new Hoosac Tunnel trunk line is likely to bring
upon it Taken in conjunction with the general
fattering for a speedy restoration of passenger
rates. Yet something may be done to-day In
that direction at the Chicago meeting.

Doines of the Master Car-Builders.

The master car-builders at their annual con-
vention last week elected as officers for the en-
suing year: President. 3. K. Verbryck; vice.
presidents, John W. Cloud, E.. r.. Greaves and
William McWood; treasurer, John Kirby; mer-
bers of executive committee, r. G.. Blackall, F.
III. Wilder and John S. Lentz. One of their
number who reached home yesterday says their
sessions were very profitable ones. Many sub
jects We're discussed and there was an increase
of the general tendency towards uniformity, as
fast as it can be brought about. 1t was decided
to submit the question of adopting a limit gauge
between fanges to a letter ballot. There was a
long discussion or the subject of car-couplers,
and a resolution was adopted declaring it to be
the opinion of the convention that the action of
State Legislatures in requiring the use by rail
roads of forms of couplers which would not
couple one with another was to be deprecated,
and that such action had been productive of
more injury to train men than would have been
the continual use of the common link and pin
coupler, with which train men were familiar.
By another resolution the subject of automatic
couplers was referred to the executive committee
of the association, with authority to employ ex-
perts and to solicit the cooperation of railroad
companies in furnishing facilities and funds to
make tests of the various couplers.

A correspondent Of the Congregationalist

Cured at Westminster many years ago.
The following story is told Of the grand.
father Of Rev. Joseph W. Sessions, whose
S4th birthday has just been passed at
Chaplin, o. There was great scarcity
Of provisions, SO their living was mostly
potatoes and salt. Near sunset one Sun
day afternoon the good deacon saw deer
come out OF the forest near his house, and
regarding this as providential supply for
his family, be took down his gun and shot
the deer. The church (at Westminister)
called him to account for breaking the
Sabbath. but he justified himself, alleging
that it was . work OF both necessity and
mercy; but the church instructed the pas.
tor TO read the sentence OF excommunIca-
ton from the pulpit on the Sabbath. BE
called upon the deacon to arise and re-
ceiye bis sentence. The deacon arose, but
as the minister was about to read, the
deacon, reaching behind him. grasped his
gun, which he carried TO church, and,
pointing it at the head of the minister
said in the most determined tone, II for

Carpetb.x Rule in jamaica.

The people OF the good town OF Jamai.
ca are very much stirred up over the ap-
pointment OF resident Of the town OF
Stratton to bejpostmaster in that village.
The facts in the case we quote from the
last Brattleboro Phaair:
"Abcut the LIST Of April last Mr.. Shep.
ard bought house in Jamaica and moved
there from Stratton, calmly saying that he
had come to take the Jamaica postoffice.
Mr.. Shepard is native Of Jamaica and
spent his early life there, but for several
years he had lived in Stratton and been
the general factotum Of that retired vicin-
age. Some foolish Jamaica people were
lncredulous when Mr.. Shepard said he had
co ne To possess the postcfice. They
thought one OF their own citizens ought
to have the office. One hundred and sixty
six Of them, sixteen Democrats being
among the guileless company, asked in
March to have J. G. Robinson, who had
served them we'll for eight years, kept in
the office.
Later on the people got it into their
heads that, If a change was to be made, in
order to bring the Jumaica community
into '.harmony" with the new administers
ton, the Office might be given to Jamai-
ca Democrat, and petition asking for the
appointment OF F. L. Smith. "when the
department desired change" was drawn
up and sent in. On this petition were
the names Of 800 legal voters OF Jamaica
"A full seven Fights OF all the men in

con6diug petitioners were Democrats, ex'
actly as many as voted for Mr.. Cleveland

ocratic vote ever cast in town. The petit
TONERS even took the trouble 10 send with
their petition contribution to the waste
paper basket OF the departments certi-
fed copy from the records OF every vote
for governor and president from 1864 TO
1884, g period OF 20 years. This certih'
cate showed the average vote OF the town
for the q years TO have been 10 Republi
cans and IS Democrats, a total OF 1873 :
the largest vote 25s Republicans and %
Democrats. having been cast in 1850.
The attention OF the arithmetic man Of
the department was called to the fact
that the 800 petitioners represented Il
more names than the largest vote ever
cast in town, 65 more than the vote in 1884
and $50 per cent. Of the average vote fo'
81 years. The petitioners further stated
that Mr.. Smith was reputable and re-
spccted citizen, the clerk and treasurer oil
the town, and they did not neglect TO add
the i'm portAni fact tina. be was good Dem
ocrat aud had always voted straight
Democratic ticket. Here they rested,
fondly imagining that they had made ou'
strong case.

rying of the mails. The companies are,
Wm. p. Clyde a Co., the Pacific Mall
Steamship Company, and the New York,

They claim "thst for the last ten years
they performed faithful service to the
United States government without fair
compensation; that their duty to the pub
tic has always been faithfully performed
that they have offered TO assist the govern
ment by fair concessions in administering
the laws equitably; that they have been
guilty Of no improper confederation OF
combination, and that the payment that
has has been rendered them is not fan
com pensation for the services that is ex-
acted from them"

A distinguished Methodist minister ha
been made the candidate for governor oil
Ohio by the Prohibitionists and now there
is trouble in some Of the Methodist
churches in that state over the liquor
question, some going SO far as to try to
make it test question OF religious belief
and favor expelling all who do not vote
that ticket II this is true our Methodist
friends are making very great mistake.
They will not do the prohibition cause
any good and will do themselves serious
harm. Politics and religion never did
mix we'll together and probably never will,
and we believe prohibition would stand
much better on its merits than to try TO
mix it with other political questions.
