A COSTLY TRANSACTION.
State Stock Certificates on Which Was Paid In
tereSt More Than Double the Principal.

The State paid an old debt yesterday.
The obligation was SO aged, in fact. that the
interest. at 5 per cent, had outgrown the
principal. 1t consisted OF State stock GER
tificates to the amount of $4,000, interest
amounting to SlO.SO2.7s. and S52.S5 court
costs. the aggregate being s2O.355.63. The
history of this debt has already
been given in the columns of
the Journal. it having been in
litigation for some time past. The dispo-
sition of the matter. however. necesstates
a brief review of the circumstances. Under
an act of the Indiana Legislature passed in
1916. authorizing the issue OF bonds TO CON-
plete the Wabash and Erie canal to Evans
willie. there were issued in 1852 iive-per-cent.
stock certificates to the amount of $4,000.
which were purchased by French
du Coetlosquet. The interest was
paid regularly until 1870. when, during the
FrancO-Prussan war, Du Coetlosquet. who
has resided in Paris all these years, lost
the certificates. Some years afterward he
recovered them and attempted to collect
the interest and principal the bonds hav
ing matured, but was unsuccessful. The
matter dragged slowly along. and. while
not repudiating the debt. the Auditor of
State wanted the facts in the financial
transaction brought to light, and it finally
found its way into the courts Last fall
the Marion Superior Court decided in the
plaintiffs favor his suit for mandamus to
compel the Auditor and Treasurer of State
to issue and pay a warrant for the amount
of the principal, interest and court costs.
The case then went to the general term of
the Superior Court. where 1t was affirmed,
and from there to the Supreme Court,
where similar action was taken upon
it. The State now being at the
end of it's legal string and having
apparently come to the conclusion that the
debt was an honest one, quibbled no longer
but paid it. The interest paid by the State

NOT TO BE OPENED.


Yesterday afternoon the board of trustees
of the Institution for the Education of the
Blind held their regular monthly meeting,
and after the usual matters of routine were
disposed of the subject of improving the
grounds was taken mp. After some discus
sion the conclusion was reached that w al
nut street, which has long been closed to
the public. should not be opened. The
roadway is to be sodded out and made as
attractive as possible. and no longer form
deserted-looking piece of ground between
the north side of the institution and the
park. That the street will not be opened
will be q matter of disappointment to a
number of residents in the neighborhood to
whom the 'no-thoroughfarev occupancy of
the State has long been an inconvenience.
The trustees. however who some time ago.
lnrlmated that they might fence MP the
park as play ground for the blind, con-
cluded To do nothing in that matter and

nois, w. B. Brinton, treasurer of the Demo-
cratic central committee of that State.
The conversation logged on with occasional
excursions into politics. Mr.. Rice ventured
to express some admiration for Carter Har-
rison. "See how he ran for Mayorw said
he, land nominated outside the party or

wonderful about it. Then Mr. Rice asked

noisan, enthusiastically. Mr.. Rice po0hed.

came q law he has been enjoying life upon
the supposition that he was getting &, 500
a year. whereas he has heretofore been get
ting $780, AS nearly every body else
thought SO, too, there was nothing TO ruffle
his happiness. Even Comptroller Wool
lens eagle eye discovered nothing to the
contrary In the charter. and he accordingly
made out Mr.. Mansfeld's quarterly wsrrsnt
at the rate of g. 800 q year since March q.
But somebody lettering about the Office was
mean enough to suggest that the charter
provided that officers elected by the Coun-
ell should continue to draw the same sal
airy during the term for which they were
elected. The comptroller referred the ques-
tion to the city attorney. who replied that
he held the Office TO which he was elected
by the Council, was entitled to but 81 500
year. Mr.. Mansfield submitted the cues
ton TO two or three other attorneys, but
.hey all held the same view. Mr.. Bailey
yesterday suggested to him q way out. If

$1,000 q year. Mr.. Mansfield started at

when Mr.. Bailey called him back and sug-
gested that it might be a good idea to firss
