OelaWare county commissioners.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Jan. Last week decree of custer
against County Commissioners Barrett and
Jones, of this county. was granted by tho court
in favor of Marshall and Snodgrass, who were
elected in November 1884. to suc@ed them. An
appeal was at once taken to the Supreme Court
by the defendants, and it was claimed that this
suspended the judgment of the lower court I'M
til it had been affirmed by the higher tribunal.
Immediately Mr.. Marshall, commissioner-elect
from the Third district, applied for a restraining
order to enjoin Mr.. Barrett from transacting the
duties of the Office of commissioners, which Office
the court, by its decree of custer. had virtually
said he did not legally hold. Exhaustive argu-
ments for and against the proposed injunction
were heard by Judge Lott, yesterday, and to-
day he rendered an opinion favorable
to Mr.. Marshall. granting an order
restraining Mr. Barrett from further
acting as commissioner. It is thought Mr.
Jones will voluntarily retire in favor of Mr.
Snodgrass, of the First district If he should
not do SO, similar suit will be brought to re-
strain him, and since the two cases are identical
in every respect. the result can but be the same.
This contest has been quite tedious one and
as both parties to the suits have their friends in
the county it has caused much bad feeling

HOME INVESTMENT.
A Chance for Idle Capital to Increase and
DO Good.

The scarcity of good houses and stores
for rent i'll Burlington is painfully appar-
cnt this spring. It indicates rs well rs
anything can the rapid growth Of the city.
1t has been almost impossible to secure "A
residence of any pretension except by
purchase, A few have been put on the
market for sale, but there is nothing like
Il supply of houses for the present demand
for houses to rent. There seems to be
plenty of houses for the laboring classes
and our mechanics and artisans, Us a
large number of that class have been
built in recent years, but the dearth APP
pears to be largely in that class of houses
which rent from 500 to $3.50 per annum.
In almost every case we believe, when IA
desirable house of that class has been in
the market the applications for it have
numbered score or more. a large mum
Der OF people are yet uuprOVided for. \
real estate firm IN town has application
for houses from several parties who first
became acquainted with Burlington at
the carnival, but they cannot secure any
desirable places. such Il state of things
ought not to exist in II town of Burling-
toms wealth. There is enough capital
here seeking investment that ought
to jump at the chance of such desirable
investment as houses of that class Ten
w
as a rule the most desirable and profitable
class They do not shift about and they
pay their rent promptly. Such houses, it
has been frequently demonstrated, can be
built in a modern way not eNpenslvply,
but comfortably, so rs to readily yield an
income of eight per cent on the invest
ment. Allowing three per cent to cover
taxes, insurance and repairs, there is left
net income of five per cent, with the
very best security and the pus~ibilIty-and
prObabillty-in growing city like ours,
of large appreciation and value Where
can money be placed to better advantage
than in such houses We know, some Of
our old-la-hioned people think they ought
to do better than that, and some think
they do better by sending their money out
West, but in the end it Will he seen whether
good home investments which help along
pace and are under the eye Of the lender
do not pay the best
There is also demand in Burlington
for more good busiucss blocks and other
buildings, as well as manufactures, and
we hope those who have money to invest
will look about them and see what can he

vcstmeuts at hOmc-and at the same time

The Chicago TribUnC says That one Of
the most important transactions in Il ma
rine way that has occurred this spring is
the organization of new line of steamers
to run between Chicago and Toledo and
Ogdensburg in connection with the Og
densburg and Lake Champlain railroad
Several years ago this important route was
controlled by the Northern Transportation
line, and when the line ceased operations
the route was practically abandoned. The
Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad
company, however, could not afford to
lose its water connections, and in 1883 or
ganized Il steamboat line of its own. SeV-
eral boats were chartered for the season,
and the Detroit Dry Dock company was
awarded contract for building three new
steamers at "A cost of $1,000 each. These
boats were the Walter l.. Frost, W. j.
Averll and w. A. Haskell. They are the
finest steamers ever built for the Welland
canal trade. The Railroad company, after
operating the boats for the season, default
ed in paying for their construction and
they were sold under the hammer, the
Detroit Dry Dock company being
the purchasers. Subsequently the rail
road company made an Intellectual
attempt TO lease the boats, and last
season was compelled to take care of its
luhc DuhlutSS ny CHdTleTlHS Nllu LOWS lbI
single trips. This year the company has
been more successful in perfecting ar
rangements, and six first-class steamers
have been chartered for the season, the
line comprising the Frost, Averlll, Has
kell, John Pridgeon, Jr., Toledo, and
Oneida. These boats were not easily Sc
cured, as the Ogdensburg Il Lake Cham
plain officials met with considerable COM
petition from the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad company. The
latter, which is in possession of uneX-
celled dockage and terminal facilities at
Buffalo, was anxious to establish a line of
steamers between Chicago and Buffalo to
run in connection with its road. The
Ogdensburg people secured the boats by
giving cash guarantee. The railroad
company reserves the right to purchase
the boats at the close of the season, the
amount of the guarantee to apply on the
purchase e. AS now arranged, the
Toledo an. ida will run from Toledo
to Ogdensburg and the other four from
Chicago to Ogdensburg.

We sincerely hope that some Of the
sharp things which few Of the Republi

of each other, relative to the presidential
campaign of 1854, will not lead to state
of intolerance that shall frtter away
strength which ought to be gained and
saved to the Republicans for their cam
paign of lNNS. Some Republicans in lSSi
acted with their party rcluctautly or not
AT all, and If we would succeed in the

be repealed. In other word, can the Re
