Inventors seeking patents, to secure
which with facility requires such long
experience and thorough conversanc-
with the laws and technicalites relating to
American and foreign patents, find in Mr..
K. II. Eddy, of No. 10 State street, Bos-

series of wears, we have with pleasure com
mended him to all seeking patents in any part
Of the world, as leading and most success
full solicitor in this line. Though our patent
laws are more liberal than those of any
other country, there is much to be consider
ed before taking out patent: the value of
the invention conflicting claims to its pa
tentahlity; the proper manner in which to
present the application to the commissioner;
desrabilty of securing foreign patents, etc.
Mr.. Edd,s knowledge and Judgment in
these matters have been proven in a long
and honorable practice; and he is in every re-

A Gratifying Exhibit.

The car movement, as shown by the train
records Of the several roads centering here gives
evidence that there is healthy volume of bust
ness in progress. 1t will be noticed that there
were 2o4 more loaded cars received and for
warded at this point in the week ending Dec
than in the preceding week, and !, 145 more than
in the corresponding week 1885. In the east
cars, but it should be borne in mind that not
one of the eastern roads out of indianapolis is
supplying it's demand for cars. The cotton and
lumber shipments are almost at a stand
still. so difficult is it to secure
cars. The west-bound movement is not as
heavy as last month, yet in excess of the usual
tonnage in December. For six weeks to come
through shipments westward will be, compare
lively speaking, light. North and south roads
are doing nicely While their through business
is rather light their traffic of local character is
unprecedentedly heavy. In fact, this remark will
amply to every Indianapolis road all of which
are short of cars to handle their local business
Live stock is forming an important per cent. of
the business now moving. This re-
mark applies to both through and
local traffic. It is questionable if the
scarcity of cars will in the end prove disadvan-
tageous. 1t will probably prolong good bust
ness far into the winter, unless the roads fool
ishly advance grain rates and cause dealers to
crib their grain until navigation opens and sum
mer rates again rule. Freight men look upon
the present movement of freights, grain especial
ly. az healthy one, hence they think it unwlse
to make any change in rates which would sim
ply check the shipments. Below is given the
number of cars received and forwarded at this
point last week as compared with that of the
week ending Nov. 81, and the corresponding
week of 1885:

Some of the best writer's in our language are
often the least correct in strictly gramma teal
sense. Many o gifted author discards the COM
mon rules of grammar and composes to suit his
own ideas of propriety. clearness and harmony
He relegates those rules to pedagogues and
pedants and claims for himself more scope
higher freedom. English, as has often been re-
marked, is grammarless tongue. and steadily
grows more so. Clever and accepted authors
nowadays make ph;loloeic laws of their own.

elish language is too big too strong. too rich,
too steadily growing to be bound by ancient fixed

Battle with Burglars.

CHILLIooTHE, O., Dec AT $3.50 o'clock this
morning four escaping bank robbers and four po-

latter. Late last evening stranger negotiated

THE BLIZZARD In THE WEST.
Fierce Storms That Mean Destruction tt
Man and Beast.


Man and Beast.
A man just in from Fort Niobrara was warm
ing himself over register in the Sherman
House. late yesterday afternoon. "You people
in this part of the country, he said 'have little
idea of the terrors of blizzard on the plains
Out where came from one of these storms
means death to man and beast. Nothing can
live i'll the binding, piercing gale The blizzard
in western Kansas, and Nebraska, and Dakota,
about ten days ago. was as disastrous to human
life as any we had last winter 1t burst upon
the country with fierceness seldom equaled in
that land of elemental disturbances. The
ranges were piled high with drifting snow, and
cattle, becoming confused in the flying crystals,
persisted in their tracks. One of the melan-
choly incidents Of the storm was the loss of a
very pretty young woman, the belle of a Dakota
village. She had inst left her homo for the pur-
pose OF relieving poor family who were in dis
tress when the blizzard roared ND on her.
Losing her way In the darkness and swirling
snow she fell from exhaustion and was not
found until her feet and hands were 80 badly
frozen that amputation was resorted to TO save
her life. When l left the country the unfortu-
nate girl was lying Mt the point of death. An
other sad accident of the storm was the loss of
two children who were at play in the outskirts
of Nebraska town. The blizzard swept them
from the face OF the earth as completely as
though they had been swallowed up. As soon
as they were missed 200 men and boys set out in
the teeth of the gale to rescue them. They
searched the country over but not a vestige of
the little fellows could be found. 1t IS not un-
likely that the blizzard picked them up and bore
them long distance from the spot where they
were last seen at play. There were many other
fatalities which cannot recall. but which were
fully as melancholy as the ones have described
Nothing can compare with the fury of one of
our biizzards. 1t saps ones breath, infiames
the eyes, and roars in your ears until you think
your head will surely split. The flying snow
which pets you in the face stings like so many
needles, and nearly drives You mad with pain.
Your legs grow weak, nausea adds to your mis-
cry, and, finally. when life ceases to be worth
battling for, you fall to the ground and slowly
freeze to DEATH

The Santa Fe's Proposed Chicago Line.

GALEsBURG, Dec. "A. A. Robinson, vice
president of the Atchson, Topeka e. Santa Fe
railway, was in this city to-day in the interest of
his road. He desired to see what inducements
this city would offer the road to build through
here. He was met by committee, who escort
him around. He assured Mayor Foote that the
road would certainly be built. and that it would
be in running order to Chicago inside of twelve
months. He incidentally remarked that they
should want the rght-of-way through the bust
ness portion of the city, and grant of twenty
acres of ground site for the depots On
next Monday tho committee will hold a meeting,
and 1t Is considered very probable that the city
will grant the demand Mr.. Robinson also stated
that the road would not make much effort for To-
cal business, as they principally wanted straight
route to Chicago
