A GRATIFYING Exhibit.

All things considered. the volume of business
moving over Indianapolis lines is highly salts
factory, denoting that without exception the
roads are doing healthy aad profitable bust
ness. The train records show that in the week
ending the 18th, there were 474 more loaded cars
received and forwarded than in the week ending
Nov. 6. and 1.790 more than in the correspond
ing week, 1885, East bound there was in
creased movement, but it was made in increased
shipments of live stock The grain tonnage
carried was about the same as
in the preceding week. We notice
that there is a sprinkling of cotton going for
ward. Since the advance in lumber rates, ship
ments of this class of freights have been light
west-bound, as since Aug. / the tonnage carried
has been in excess of that of any previous year,
Notwithstanding the lighter shipments of an
thracite Goals. Without question, the excellent
time the midland roads are making has had
much to do with drawing the business from the
roundabout Chicago routes, the Chicago lines
this year carrying lighter tonnage of Western
and Southwestern business than last year or,
in fact. lighter than in any year of the eighties.
North and south roads are doing good business
and carrying it at much better rates than last
year, owning to the firm position taken by the
Chicago and Ohio River pool in the matter of
maintaining tariff rates. : Local business was
never more satisfactory and is only limited by
the cars which can be commanded. In fact
there is greater scarcity of cars to handle the
through we'll as local business. Below is
given the number of cars received and forwarded
at this point in the week ending Nov. Ii. as COM
pared with that of the preceding week and the
corresponding week. 1885,

the city to suppress fire which began in the
middle of a handsome block of business build

vile Hotel was on fire. and great crowd gath
cred in time to see the large cistern at Sixth and

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Nov. 13.-Tne hearing of the an
plicaton of Samuel O. Taggart for recount of the
vote cast IN Clark county for joint Senator took place
before Judge Ferguson, of the Circuit Court in this
city, this afternoon, and the result was surprise to
the Democrats, who are trying to steal the Indiana
Senate by seating David Mcclure the Democratic OPP
ponent OF Mr.. Teggart the Republican candidate who
was honestly and fairly elected In his affidavit ac-
companying mis- application for recount of the vote
Oh the county Mr. Taggart alleges and fraud in
the original count through which Mcclure
was counted in and given the certificate
when rightly Mr.. Taggart was elected and
entitled to the certificate. Mcclure was represented
by six of the leading attorneys of Clark county who
resorted to every uberuge prevent an order from
Judge Ferguson for recount. Mr.. Taggart was rep
resented by Alexander Bowling, of New Albany who
single-handed. fought the and it. Judge
Ferguson ordered recount of the vote and appointed
y L. Diffendaffer and William Lee, Democrats and
Ward A. Watson Republican, commissioners co
make the recount. William Lee was objected to by
Mr. Faggart's attornev. for the reason that he had
been one OF the democratic officers of the election
but Judge Ferguson overrued the obiec-
ton. 1t was developed in the course
of the hearing of the application of
Mr. Taggart for a recount of the case that the hal

Lively Little Freight War in Prospect.
For some weeks past the l., d. & S., in con-
nection with the Wabash, has been, it is alleged
by their competitors, carrying west-bound
freiehts below the agreed tariff, and General
Freight Agent Hibbard, of the Vandalia. and
General Freight Agent Hill, of the l. & st. L.,
having satisfied themselves that such is the case,
have opened the war in earnest, and have in
structed their agents to meet the rates made by
the L. D. e. S. and the Wabash, if it is but one
cent per hundred from the shipping point to the
river where freghts take the arbitrary rates.
1t is stated that the traffic manager of the l.. D.
& S. admits that he has given
the rates under tariff, as alleged, and
that he says that he is enabled so to
do by an arrangement he has with roads west of
the river. The general freight agents of the
Vandalia and the L & st. L. state that they
have thoroughly investigated this matter. and
that they are confident no such arrangement as
that mentioned by the traffic manager of the l.,
d. & S. exist consequently they let down the
bars, and will carry freghts a. any rate made
by the l., ID. 81 S. until they cry enough, and, as
one of the agents OF the St Louis lines puts it,
the band will begin to play this morning 1t is
proposed to make the war short, sharp and de-
cisive. It is certainly to be regretted that the
matter has taken such an unfavorable turn, but
Hubbard and Hill have their war-paint on.

Prince Frederick William while inspecting, recently,
the restored high altar of the Merseberg Cathedral

appeared robed in black and wearing black
veil which concealed her face.
After her visits the recluse would remain In

Becoming an Important Route.

The plans of Major B. s. Henning and other
parties interested in the Florida Railway &
Navigation Company are being carried out by
FL. r. Duyal, the wide-awake and capable man
ager of the property. On the Goth of this month
a new steamship line working in connection
with the Florida Railway & Navigation Com
pany will start its first steamer from New York
direct for Jacksonville. Two new and handsome
vessels have been built. which will be used in
running to that port, while two others have been
purchased, which will be operated in a service to
be established to Fernandina, Fla. This
new service will be semi weekly
one, the steamer for Fernani dina sailing
every Wednesday and the one for Jacksonville
every Saturday. At Fer nandina connection will
be made for Jacksonville, and for the State Of
Florida generally, with the Florida Railway &
Navigation Co. This road is now in good con.
dition and is rapidly pushing its extensions, and
its officials state that next year they expect to
have an independent al-rail service from Florida
to the North. This will be by means of new
road now being constructed from the present
terminus of the Florida Railway & Navigation
