A Controversy About the Rights Of Express
Companies.

A Controversy About the Rights Of Express
Companies.
The suit of the Louisville. New Albany &
Chicago to enioin the Lake Erie & Western
Railway Company from interfering with the
running Of it's trains over that portion OF the de-
PENDANTS road between the Union tracks and
Howland's Station came up before Judge Taylor
yesterday morning. While the suit, on its face,
Is one between the two railway companies. it is
really the culuination of the fight between the
American and United States express compa-
nies, both Of which are striving for the business
between Chicago and Indianapolis The Lake
Erie & Western. which has line Of its own
from Chicago into the Union Depot here, has a
contract with the United States Express Com
pany for the exclusive carrying of its goods.
The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road
has line only to Howland's junction, four
miles north of the city. and since its construc.
ton has been using the Lake Erie q
Western road from that point to the Union rail-
way tracks. 1t has an exclusive contract with
the American Express Company. The former
road, backed no by the United States Express
Company, has been attempting to shut out tho
L., N. A. & c. road from it's four miles OF ter
minal connections unless il would cease to handle
the goods OF the American Express Company.
An order was issued compelling the American
Express Company to unload its freight at How
lands junction. and convey It from that point
to Indianapolis by wagon. The L.. n. A. d G..
road refused to obey the order and asked from
Judge Taylor temporary Injunction against
the Lake Erie e. Western interfering with its
trains, which was granted Monday morning.
Yesterday morning the Lake Erie 81 Western
filed lengthy answer in which the main reason

The Delegates from That state Enthusiastic
fn His Interests.
Mr.. r. L. Scarlets, of Florida, delegate to
the Chicago convention. Is in the city. He is an
enthusiastic Harrison man. and Is confident that
Indiana's candidate is going to win.
"dow does your delegation standT was asked
by Journal reporter.
"Six for Harrison, one for Dspew and one
non-committal." hs replied. 1--WE were Blaine
men originally, but since he will not be cAndi-
date our next choice is Harrison. We believe
that he can carry Indiana and thereby win the
presidency. He is able. clean, has magnif-
cent record as q soldier has been in accord with
the party, and heartily so, on every great pub
lie question. We believe be unitss more ele-
msnts Of strength than any one else mentioned,
and above al comes from doubtful State"
"How about the delegates in neighboring
States TO Florida2'
II have no definite Information a. to their ex-
act choice. ! do know, however, that IN
South Carolina and Georgia they feel especially
favorabls TO Harrison. They were generally
for Blaine. but now are looking to Indiana for
candidate, aud Harrison seems to grow the
more he is considered"
How does Sherman stand with you'll"
In public service. in loyalty to party and Rs
States deserves to be preferred for the presi-
dency before John Sherman. We ell know that
He's grand man. and there isn't Republican
anywhere that wouldn't like to see him Presi-
dent, but in our Judgment be cannot poll
the vote that Harrison can in Indiana,
and he chm do more than Harrison any
where ese With these facts before US, we
must support Indiana's candidate. The party is
bigger than any one man. and we have now a
splendid chance to win, by making the right
nopsiuation."
"Wnst do you say Of Allisonl"
"Just the same az Sherman. Anybody can
carry Iowa. something that isn't trus Of indiana.
Allison Is able. pure. az good q Republican as
any one, and would make a magnificent Presi.
dent. but he has not the element Of strength
that is putting Harrison forward-powsr in a
doubtful State"
Mr. Scarlett says that the Florida delegation
will pass through indianapolis the Monday before
the convention. and will stop off and visit the ty
for short time. Another gentleman who was
sitting with him when the reporter met him. q
commercial traveller in the States of Illinois. In
diana and Ohio stated that ia his travels
through the latter State he found q widespread
sentiment for General Harrison in the event
| that Senator Sherman could not get the nomina.
ton. Expressions to that effect were frequent
everywhere, especially among the old soldiers.
| Now that the Democrats have nominated one
man who hired q substitute and another who
| was . rank Copperhead during the war; he
| thinks that there will be demand for o soldier
on the Republican ticket, and that none fills the
| bill so well as General Harrison. At Dayton
the soldiers are very pronounced in their prefer
| euce for him.

A Philadelphia lady who has Just re-
turned from a long visit in London was
recently discussing certain domestic
points peculiar to England and compar
ing them with relative matters here.
1--WE all know" she said, las housekeep-
ers, h worry we nave if our kitchens
are in the basement, though they have
elevators and dumb walters, stationary
washtubs, hot and cold water, are carpet
ed and fitted with every conceivable con-
venience. In a London house the
kitchens are always in the basement-no
elevators, no washtubs, and by no
means any 'frivolities' in the way
of co~nveniences. But an English
kitchen is a picture, nevertheless. The
bright tins and coppers, the FURNISHED
dish overs ranged in sizes, the well
stored c%upboards, the many tables for
every conceivable purpose, the range of
the most perfect make and large size and
the entire absence of the dirty part of
the kitchen work, which is confined to
the adjoining scullery, make a contrast
ing picture of aggravation to us, who,
while we adore all these kitchen virtues,
seldom arrive at them. Though our
kitchens in Philadelphia be large and
airy, our help, as a rule, are incapable of
sustaining the dignity Of an English
cook, who is a person of dignity and re-
spectability. We pay high wages, give
great privileges and are not allowed to
order our own dinners and, at n rate,
are not expected to recorder the remains. "

ACrowded House Greets Roland Reed In
1.-THE Woman Hater.o

As Samuel Bundy'' in The Woman
Halter, a rather frothy four act farce
comedy constructed for the late John I.
Raymond, Roland Reed scored a success
at the opera house last night. Reed is an
odd genius at all times and adds to a good
stage presence versatility and originality
that are quite refreshing. AS the princi-
pal actor in Woman Halter he p~ersonates
a gentlemanly and eccentric old codger
who is reputed to detest the society of the
fair sex and abhor matrimony, but who is
really very susceptible to the charms of
the handsome women whom he chances to
meet. In the first act sMr. Bundy" be.
comes engaged to three fascinating wild.
ows. In the second two are stragetically
forced to surrender all claim to the bache-
lor's heart and fortune. The third act
sees the unfortunate man married secretly
and the fourth finds him in a lunatic asy-
lum, where he has been imprisoned by
mistake. Here all ends happily. A love
affair between ''Bundy's' nephew and
the daughter of the proprietor of the
insane asylum forms an interesting sub
plot.
The situations throughout are redicu-
lous and absurd, nearly always impossi.
BILE, but invariably laughable.
Mr.. Reeds Cheyenne admirers, who
filled the house last evening, were
pleased with the play and generously APP
plauded the favorite, but the writer be-
lieves that the reception would have been
more cordial had another play been pre-
sented. The comedian is at his best
when ~personating a young man.
The support was above the average.
Mr.. Reed was prevented from display
ing his vocal talents last evening by a
severe cold. He is under a physician
care and tonight will render a number of
comic selections and his famous pocket
edition of Ernliaie.
Hmbug will be produced by Mr.. Reed
and his company this evening.
