THE TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.
Republicans Nominate Joseph r. Forbes for
Trustee, and Thomas +. Quill for Assessor.

From the Sunday Edition of the Journall
The Republican township convention, which
was held in Masonic Hall yesterday morning,
was slow in getting to work, owing to some
trouble in getting the delegates seated and after
proceeding to business, caused by q con-
test for recognition between the dele
gates from several precincts. Gen. James
r. Carnahan, the chairman of the
county committee, called the convention to order,
and on the motion of Peter F. Bryce, of the
Seventeenth ward Hon. Stanton j. Peelle was
chosen chairman.
After thanking the convention for its mani
festation Of confidence in him, Mr.. Peelle spoke
briefly about the Office of township trustee, stat
ing that the trust was one of much Importance,
owing to the large amount Of the peo-
pies money handled by the trustee,
and that, therefore. care should be
exercised in filling the Office. he compared the
record of the present Democratic incumbent
with that Of his predecessor, Captain Harvey,
showing that the tax levy for the last two years
would yield a revenue of nearly $400, 900, while
during the same period in Harvey's administra-
ton the levy yielded little more than 5000 000
matter of dollars and cents 70
the people He suggested, for the benefit
of the legislative candidates to be nominated
during the coming summer that the laws in re-
lation to the Office should be changed SO as to re-
quire trustees to report their Indebtedness to the
County Commissioners. and prohibit their con-
tracing any Indebtedness for school supplies
without the permission Of the Commissioners.
The name of John w. Ray was proposed for
secretary of the convention, but he declined to
serve in that capacity. for the reason that ne had
been chosen chairman of the delegation from his
ward, and preferred to remain on the floor. W.
O. Patterson, Joseph Morris. W. G. David and
Harry Tucker were elected secretaries by
reclamation.
No speeches were allowed in nominating can
didates. The names presented for the nomina-
ton for trustee were w. F. Rupp, J. r. Forbes,
Gen. George F. McGinnis, Smith King and G. j.
Many. TheRconvention proceeded to ballot on
the nomination for trustee, with the following
result:

SALARY OF FEDERAL JUDGES.
Senator Voorhees, Reasons for Voting for the
Bill to Increase Them.

The bill providing for an increasein the salaries
of several of the federal judges would if passed by
Congress. benefit Judge Woods. His salary is
now 49, 500 year. which, it is generally con-
coded, is much below the value of the services,
and it is less than could be
earned in the practice Of law
by man possessing the abilities Of Judge Woods.
If the pending bill should become law-and it
has already passed the Senate-his salary would
be increased to So. 600 year. In speaking upon
the measure, Senator Voorhees, gave as his reason
for voting for it, 1.-THE State Of Indiana has over
two millions of people in it. There are over
5000 of railroad in the State. embracing every
county but two within its borders. The
federal litigation is necessarily large,
might say enormous There are
four courts held by the district judge for che
district of Indiana-one at Indianapolis, one at
Fort Wayne, one at New Albany, and one at
Evansville. He pays his own expenses of travel
and of hotels. The only criticism have upon
this bill is that for such man as occupies that
bench at this time, performing such service as he
does, it is really not enough. I should be glad
If thers could be some method, and yet do not
see that there be. by which discrimination
can be made as to labor or merit on the bench in
the salaries which we shall pay judges"

A LAME ARTISTS LUCK.
A Visit to the White House by Miss Marion
Foster, and How 1t Came About.


Foster, and How It Came About.
National Republican.
About ten days ago there came from New
York city here the little invalid artist, Miss
Marion Foster The gifted young woman is un-
able to walk, but sits in a wheeled chair and
moves about in it with perfect ease. Miss Eos
ter has happy, cheerful disposition, and her
merry laugh is the most frequent sound that is
heard from her never-closed door. She sits with
her long brown hair about her shoulders realiz-
ing to ones senses Jennie Wren, the dolls dress
maker of Dickenss imagination. Ever since
Miss Foster read Miss Cleveland's book of essays
it has been the wish Of her waking hours and
dream of her sleeping ones to meet the author Of
so many noble and comforting thoughts. A
mutual acquaintance carried to Miss Cleveland
the written desire of the little artist and it
not long before an autograph letter came from
the lady of the White House inviting Miss Marion
to call at stated hour.
So yesterday the small artist and her maid
bowled up to the White House. and was helped
up the steps by the men there. The kind words
of sympathy and comfort and congratulation
spoken by Miss Cleveland to the struggling work
err, who is so sadly handicapped by her misfort-
unes, have made all the skies blue for her, and
the sunshine to be more golden.
Miss Foster has made three quarter crayon
of the President, which she purposes presenting
to Miss Cleveland. During her visit to the White
House the President kindly entered the Red Par
lor aud assisted in completing the triumph of the
hour The little artist who has many rich and
powerful friends and patrons, said she was never
more kindly treated and never felt so fiattened
in all her life before. On returning to her apart
ment she Immediately changed the severe ex-
preston upon the pictured face of the President
to the tender, kindly one she had seen upon the
living model
1t will be remembered that the invalid artist
was discovered" by Miss Fanny Davenport in
Ohio, and sent to school ip Cincinnati. She has
developed artistic powers far beyond all expecta-
ton, and now numbers among her friends and
patrons Adalina Patti, George Law, of New
York; Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who made her the
fashion in New York; Charles Croker, j. G..

WILL WITHDRAW FROM INDIANA.
The Ohio Valley Company Declares that Tele-
phones Cannot Be Furnished for So Month.

The failure Of the Central Union Telephone
Company to determine what course it will pursue
in relation to the continuance of business under
the new law, which has been held by the Su-
preme Court to be valid, is generally regarded
by the patrons as meaning that there will be no
interruption of the service although it is claimed
by the company that they have simply post
poned action until the two remaining cases now
pending in the Supreme Court are also decided.
The action of the Ohio Valley Telephone Com
pany in giving notice that it will withdraw it's
service from New Albany and Jeffersonville
seems to indicate, however, that the Supreme
Court decision has not settled the trouble, and
that there is some danger that the law will yet
cause considerable public Inconvenience. The
interests Of the Ohio Valley company in In
aiena extend only to Floyd and Clark
counties, while the Central Union op-
crates in forty-two towns outside Of Indianap-
oils. The Ohio Valley company declares that
the service cannot be furnished fer So month
without loss. In giving notice to the patrons
that it will withdraw its service from Indiana
at the end of thirty days, the company says:
"At the rates heretofore charged in New Albany
and Jeffersonville our exchanges there have been
barely self-supportng Until this unexpected
decision can be finally passed upon by the SUI
preme Court OF the United States, or the law is
repealed, our line of action in regard to business
in your State is reduced to one or two alterna-
tives. We must either adopt scale of prices
which practically confscates our property, by
rendering it valueless. aud continue to operate
our exchanges in Indiana at constant and
unavoidable loss, or we must close them as soon
as our existing contracts will permit MS to do So
Business prudence compels us to adopt the latter
course, and therefore, with very great regret we
hereby notify you that We viii discontinue your
telephone service in connection with our ex-
changes in New Albany and Jeffersonville on

quired number of votes. he was declared the NOM
inee of the convention for trustee. In response

vention, stating that he regarded his nomination

A remarkable story comes from Marysville

day, and seven or eight inches fell by daylight.
North of the town the snow was found to be
covered with species of worm, averaging half
an inch in length. They are all of the same
kind. but Of various colors-black, gray and
white. The cold snow did not Seem to affect
them in the least, since they were as lively as
worms could well be, and crawied around in a
playful manner.
They are uglylooking- creatures, and where

fish, snakes, etc, but this is the first account of

THE FIRST PULLMAN CAR.

from Which the Model Was Made.
Jules Guthridge. in Chicago News
The name of George NJ. Pullman, of Chicago,
on the Arlington Hotel register. the other day,
led to discussion on the part Of several gentle
men who had dropped in at that hosiery as to
the amount of Mr. Pulman's wealth.
Il don't know how much Mr. Pullman is
worth" said Public Printer Rounds, who was
one of the party, but do remember the first
rude drawing of his now celebrated sleeping car
from which his fortune has been mainly derived.
1t was way back in go. at the time of
the, Pixies Peak excitement I had gath
cred together the outfit for daily
newspaper and sent it to Denver in charge of Ed
Bliss, brilliant Chicago newspaper writer, at
that time in my employ William M. Byers and
John L. Daley, of Denver, had just commenced
the publication of the Rocky Mountain News
across the plains with the intention of setting up
rival establishment When about fifty miles
this side of Denver Bliss was met by Byers and
Daley, who went out that distance to see him
and arrange, if possible, some sort of comprom-
Use. for it was not believed the town could sup
port two daily papers The result was that Bliss
and were taken into partnership and new
company was formed under the name of the
Rocky Mountain News Publishing Company.
The next spring / went out to Denver to see
the country and obtain a little rest and recre-
alton was also interested in some mining
speculations at Russells gulch, and shortly after
my arrival in Colorado, Bliss and went up to
Central City to examine the mines. There We
found George M. Pullman He had opened an
establishment for the sale Of miners supplies
and was doing an excellent business. Bliss and
l were well acquainted with Pullman, who in
vited us to dine with him. When the meal was
finished Pullman said:
Boys have an ideai
Bliss, who was great wag, made some re-
mark about it being a hard winter, and suggest
ed the propriety of nursing it tenderly, but Pull
man, without noticing the interruption, contin-
ued:
Hold on until show it to you He stepped
into the next room, and when he returned he
held in his hand the pasteboard cover of a lady's
bandbox. The reverse side was covered with q
network of lines parallel and intersecting each
other The drawing was entirely unintelligible
to us until Pullman said:
have been figuring for several years upon
some sort of railway coach that will enable a
person to travel in comfort by day and which
can be converted into bed to sleep on at night.
This is the plan. as have hastily sketched it.
When | return to Chicago next fall shall have
a model made and endeavor to get it patented.
What do you think of the schemep
We both agreed it was feasible, but none of
US dreamed what revolution it would create in
American and European travel. At that time,
have no doubt, Mr. Pullman would have gladly
parted with his idea for $25 000 1t has put mill
