RELEASED ON PAROLE.
A Prisoner Serving a Life Sentence for MUIR
der Granted His Freedom.

Governor Gray yesterday ordered the release
OF William Carver from the Jeffersonville prison
on parole. Carver was sentenced to imprson-
ment for life in Sullivan county in 1867 for the
murder of John Stuart, surveyor with whom
he was quarreling at the time of the homicide.
A isht was threatened. apd neighbor handed
shotgun to Carver. 1t was dis
charged as he took hold of it.
and Stuart was killed instantly Carver has al
ways claimed that he had no thought of shooting
Stuart. and that the discharge of the gun was
accidental After realizing what had occurred.
it ia said that Carver was so frightened that he
ran several miles. Hon. Richard w. Thomp-
son was judge of the Sullivan couE-
ty circuit, and was on the bench
when Carver was tried. He has
repeatedly urged the pardon of Carver. for the
reason that he thought at the time of the trial
that the evidence showed that the killing was ac-
cidental, but he did not like to disturb the find
ing because it was the province of the jury to
judge of the facts Carver is now quite an old
man, having been in prison nearly nineteen
years.

Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus.
Johanna Kinney, an inmate of the Female
Reformatory, yesterday applied to Judge Walk
er for writ of habeas corpus in order to secure
her release from the institution. She set forth
that she was born in Mackinaw county, Michi-
gan. Oct. A. 1867, and is therefore eighteen years
and five months old. In 1873 the Criminal
Court judge of this county sent her to the Re-
formatory for incorrigibility, to remain until she
was eighteen years old, unless the board of man
ayers of the institution saw fit to discharge her
before that time She claims that having full
filed the terms of the sentence she is illegally
restrained of her liberty and has been SO for the
past Ave months. The board of managers and
the superintendent of the Reformatory are de
PENDANTS to the application which will be argued
this morning. The defense will claim that the

city about the last of December, and had been

time about the saloon. He claimed that.he threw
the money into lot on Georgia street, just east

the place but it could not be found. Where the
money is now he could not or would not tell, but
the judge thinks he knows all about it and gave

A Tough Problem to Solve.

Said railroad president yesterday, to rep
resentative of the Journal: II am in trouble; my
passenger conductors and my freight conductors
with but few exceptions are stealing. I have
ample evidence of it. i don't like to discharge
them as I don't know as I would get any more
honest men to ill their places. They know our
rules, they run our trains safely, but are steal
ing money from us daily. We pay them good
wages aud pay them promptly. Their runs are
not hard and we treat them In every respect hon.
orably, but they ignore these facts and know
of but one way to solve the problem, and that is
to wall up our stations. Let no man or
woman through the gates to train until
they have purchased ticket and oblige them to
show it when boarding the train, and after the
English method drop the ticket in box at the
station on leaving the train. This would incur
large expense one that our road is now unable TO
bear. 1t could be done at Terminals, bat TO en-
force it in every country station would be big
undertaking. Then again, the arrangements OF
other roads would say / was cranky. and really
am in straits to know what to do. l have deter
mined one thing, however Every conductor on
he collects, and if caught, he or his bondsmen
will pay the money stolen and will make an
example of the conductor that will not be credit
able to him.
A railroad man who was present said he had
good deal of sympathy for conductors. He
thought they should be paid 1926 per month and
$25 additional for expenses. Then they should be
required to give the bond of one of the guarantee
companies, as do agents, for their honesty. Then
tie roads should keep blacklist. and never en-

under such circumstances. pocket fares. The
trouble is now that a dishonest conductor is
simply discharged, and railroad officials show
disposition to keep it to themselves if he is dis
honest, and he simply goes on to another road

CHICAGO, March 5.--This morning came up
for hearing before Judge Gresham, a motion for
appointment of receiver for the Chicago g.
Atlantic railroad, made by the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company, of New York, on behalf of the
bondholders. A representative of this company
appeared in its personal attorney, II. B. Turner
of New York, who was assisted by ex-senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald. of Indiana, and
Gen. Benjamin Fl. Bristow, of New York. The
motion is resisted by Mr.. Daniels, of Baker
Hord & Hendricks, of Indianapolis; G. W. Fair
banks, of Indianapolis; w. o. johnson, of Chi
cago, and j. S. Slick, of Rochester. Ind. Mr.
Daniels opened the case by praying the court to
postpone the hearing of the motion until Monday
morning. The Chicago & Atlantic railroad did
not admit the insolvency charged, and claimed
if time was given to be able to show that
the troubles arose from complications between
that road and the New York. Lake Erie
g. Western railroad, which, from the inception
of the road, had been its financial hacker and
transportation partner. or sharer. The road
was now paying its current running expenses
and had no floating debt other than the alleged
Indebtedness due the New York. Lake Erie 81
Western railroad, which either did not exist at
all, or was largely overesti;aated. The hearing
was postponed until Monday.

Fast Trains ON Northwestern Lines.

The Northwestern lines are getting over their
old fogy ideas of railroading, and it is reported
on excellent authority that the management of
the Chicago Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad has
decided to try the experiment of a flying ex-
press from Chicago to st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and that the new departure will be inaugurated
during the coming four weeks According TO the
report, the speed of the train now leaving Chi
cago at 1870 P. NJ will be SO increased, and the
time consumed in stoppages so shortened as to
reach st. Paul in twelve hours, arriving there at
1870 instead of 225. the present time-a saving
Of nearly four hours. Milwaukee is to be reached
in two hours, instead Of three, as hitherto. tits
said that should the experiment prove successful
in increasing the passenger traffic the time of the
day express, now leaving Chicago at 11:30 A.. NJ,
will also be lessened, and that the schedule time
for the Milwaukee trains will be placed at two
hours for the eighty five miles.
