speed to this city. killed it. and locked
it in the GAINESVILLE q Ohio round-house.
1t took the engineer about an hour to free
himself. He immediately photographed tie
facts to the officials of the road in this city.
These officials secured a posse of policemen.
and went to the GAINESVILLE e. Ohio round
house, but found that the engine was dis
abled and could not be moved; When the
police started out of the round-house, they
were dumfounded to find themselves pris-
oners. The GAINESVILLE & Ohio employees
had locked them in. and they remained for
about an hour. until the chief of police came
and released them. The trouble
arises from the fact that the Shawnee &
Muskingum road has been throwing its coal
business to the Toledo Il Ohio Central. and
not to the GAINESVILLE e. Ohio. The Zanes-
vile g. Ohio people claim that they
furnished the money that paid for the en-
CINE, and are. therefore, entitled to it.
There is considerable excitement. and both
roads have a heavy force on guard.

THE SCHOOL VICTORIOUS.
Bakewells Injunction Against the Illinois
State Normal University Dissolved.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Oct. 26.--Some time
ago James Freeman, a taxpayer, obtained
an injunction restraining the State Board
of Education from drawing warrants upon
the S2l,0 0O appropriated by the recent Leg
~islature for the support of the State Normal
University at Normal. Thirty yearsagoE.W.
Blackwell donate forty acres of land to aid
in securing the location at Normal of the
State Normal University. Recently he
claimed that the conditions accompanying
the donation had not been complied with.
and demanded the return of the land OF its
value. Neither the State board nor the Leg
islature listened to his claim, and he has
since endeayOred in every way possible to
close the institution. His last effort was
the procuring of this Injunction. which he
claimed on the plea that, in the cases of
Greenbaum VS.. the State Board, and Bake
well VS.. the same. the Normal University
was decided to be not a public, but a pri-
yate institution, and hence. under the con-
~stItution, not entitled to State aid.
Judge Sample to-day dissolved the in
~iuction, deciding that the cases referred
TO did not determine the status of the Nor
ma University as to its rights to State aid,
that the Legislature has the power to aid
objects of public benefit, end that the in
stitutiOn in question is peculiarly one to
which aid should be extended. Bakewell
appeals the case.

LOUISIANA BOND FRAUDS.
Ex.Treasurer Burke Indicted on Fifteen or
Twenty Charges-His Methods.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 26.-The grand jury
to-day made q special report on the bond
steal. They state that the irregularities
commenced as far back as 1850. During
1SSO-s1. 100000 consolidated bonds were
exchanged according TO law for new four
per cents known as constitutional bonds.
notwithstanding the exchange and the
positive mandates of the law requiring
their immediate cancellation. these bonds
were retained intact until May 6. 1882. and
were used by the Treasurer. +. A.. Burke, to
that day for his private purposes, for we
find that q number of these bonds have
been held as collateral for a private loan by
two corporations in this city. These bonds
were finally returned to the treasury and
destroyed. The total fraudulent bonds
put into circulation by Burke amounted to
$4,000. including $4,000 of constitutional
bonds, $4,000 of which ave been recorded
by the State authorities. The constitu-
tional bonds purported TO have been issued
in exchange for certain consolidated bonds,
and had been numbered to correspond with
outstanding consols. In many cases the
fraudulent numbers We're duplicated. and
times"
The grand jury found fifteen or twenty
indictments against T.. A. Burke, ex-State
Treasurer. including breach of trust, en-
bezzlement and forgery. and five against
other parties, includingstwo against A. w.
CockertOn, formerly Major Burke's private
secretary. Investigation of Irregularities
in the matter of the baby" bonds is still
going on.

ANOTHER RAILWAY SCHEME.

One That May Result in q New Line Being
Built from indianapolis to Peoria.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Connecticut
Legislature recently granted Russell Sage
and other financiers a charter for a COM
pany with $50. 600, 600 capital. the object of
which was to build railways, steamboat
lines, etc. Associated with Mr.. Sage i'm
this company are Sidney Dillon and Eu-
gene Zimmerman, together with George
Gould. and, it is said, Gen. Wager Swayne.
The first three gentlemen mentioned are
deeply interested in the Cincinnati, Ham,
ilton & Dayton. the Wheeling & Lake
Erie, and at least half a dozen of their con-
Meeting lines. The two roads mentioned
would form a very important nucleus for
an extension of their connections to the
East and West. The Connecticut charter,
it is declared, was obtained for the purpose
of combining these roads and en-
aiding the ~incorporators to bring
under the ownership and management of
the Connecticut company a great many
miles of aluable railway property. with
terminals at st; Paul and some southern
port, or possibly st. Paul and Baltimore.
The plans are now being put into active
operation, it is said, and the combination
will be effected in a comparatively short
time.
The control of the new company will ex-
tend over the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton. the Wheeling a. Lake Erie, the Day
ton, Fort Wayne q Chicago, the Iowa Cen
trail and the Minnesota Il. Northwestern.
The Iowa Central reaches, Peoria. ILL.,. and
will. in connection with the Minnesota &,
Northwestern. give the consolidated lines
an entrance to ST. Paul. 1t is the intention
of the company, it is said. to acquire or
build a line from Indianapolis to a connec-

cage will give the company a line from
Louisville. The company will be able to
compete with the great trunk-lines for the
business in the Northwest. and will be in a
position to extend connections to st. Louis.
1t was rumored hat C.. p. Huntington was
concerned in this scheme, but the rumors
could not be verified.
