THE CAR SCARchCR.
0orrowee Cars, Like Umbrellas,
Often Go Asteay.

Ifyou want to get an idea Of the
immensity Of American railroading,
talk 10 car searcher. The United
States cover a pretty large area, AS
some one has observed, but the rail-
road men, and particularly the car
searchers, know their way about il as
a policeman knows his beat. A car
searcher, be IL said for the benefit OF
the uninformed, is an Official sent out
by one of the companies 10 look for
cars which have been borrowed by
other lines and treated like borrowed
umbrellas. OF course these officials
are experienced men, a great trust
is reposed in them and they have a
great weight Of responsibility to carry
on their shoulders.
One Of these men whom ] met
few evenings ago talked OF one car
somewhere around by Eagle Pass,
Portland, Oregon, az il these places
were only few squares the other
side of Broadway. He had been sent
out by one of the big lines that cover
the territory between New York and
Seattle 10 find certain freight cars
that had been running up long bills
for "demurrage' against their bor-
rowers Demurrage is charge
made by the owners of ear at so
much per day, for the time the ear
is kept away from its own line.
They'll take a ear" he said,
somewhere down South, and, in
stead of sendingi il back when they're
done with it, will use il for some
other work. That goes on and on
until, first thing you know, the car
gets in smashup."
Then you have no more chance OF
finding it," interrupted. This was
where ! displayed my ignorance.
Haven't J. though? | 90 TO where
! the car was sent and make them show
me the books. Let me tell you about
one car belonging 10 our line that got
away down South, and nobody could
trace it, The agent al that depot was
little bit OF man, all beard. When
/ ! showed him the entry on his books
/ and asked him where that ear was he
/ said he didn't know anything about
| it. one night, he says, i left it
| here on the siding, and when | came
next morning il was gone. Some Of
those freight conductors must have
/ come in here in the night, and look
ing around for Il ear, they just took
| that one. You re - liar,
said. I've been ralroading all my
/ life, and | know that conductors
| don't go rawhidiug about yard at
night time looking 20 get cars. They
ain't SO anxious TO and extra work as
all that. Now, | said you just tell
me where that car got to, or ] will
report that you lost it, Well he
commenced whimpering about his
/ family, and how he'd lose his Job if |
got him into trouble about that ear,
! At last he owned up that one day
/ they were short OF cars in the yard /;
they took and loaded up our ear with
agricultural machinery for Atlanta,
Ga. the train was wrecked and the
car was all burned up. IL you had
told us that al the time, ! said, you
would have had 10 pay $500 or S400.
Now you'll have 10 pay about " 600
for demurrage. and serve you right.
As for your family, I've got a family,
too. If 90 back and tell the com
pany cant find that car, what is my
family 10 do?' And | was right.
They had TO pay about 81, 600. -

RlDGEVlLLE CORNERS.

March 10Th, '94.-The Tri-township
Teachers Association held it's 4th
session in this village on Saturday
last. The meeting was called to Or
der by the Pres. and opened with a
song, entitled "The Sea Bird. Q. T,
Bockerman took up the Infinitive,
giving his method of teaching it, dur
ing which considerable discussion was
elected. The remainder of the morn
ing session was devoted to the discus
sion of Queries, closing with song,
List to the Music. The program
carried out at the p. m. session was
as follows: Song, "The Frog he
would a Wooing Riden-comic. Or
biography, Henry Willard; Interest,
VIM. Shumaker; song "Merrily goes
our Bark" Paper, Some Practical Sug-
gestions to Teachers, w. T. Chapman;
Discussion of the Query Box; Song,
God Be With You Till We Meet Again.
A motion was made and carried
unanimously that the paper present
ed by w. Z. Chapman be furnished
the county papers for publication.
Rev. l. w. Lowman, delivered a
rousing temperance address at the
Cong. Church on Saturday evening,
and was followed by Prof. A. F.
Myers, of Toledo. These addresses
gave no uncertain sound, and those
professed Christians who give their
votes to liscense parties, were unmerc-
fully scored. The house was crowd
ed.
Temperance day in our Sunday
Schools was observed by holding a
union meeting at the Cong. Church.
The exercises were varied and in
teresting, among which was an excl
lent paper by Mrs. E. L. Lingell of
the W. G. T. U. Short addresses were
delivered by Rev. Lowman and Prof.
Myers. At the close of the exercises
an organization was effected of the
Sunday Schools of Ridgeville and
Freedom townships, with the follow
ing officers: President, E. L. Lingell;
Secretary, Miss Clara Clifton; Treas
urer, M. d. Rand.
A pleasing episode took place at
the close of the meeting on Saturday
evening: A beautiful quilt was pre-
sented to Rev. J. w. Lowman and
wife, by Mrs. J. b. Shadford on be-
half of the Kings Daughters, of
which she is Supt. The reverend gen
tleman was taken completely by sur
prise, but proved himself fully equal
to-the occasion, in neat and appro-
pirate little speech. VERITAs.

THE Tribune says the people of Full
ton county are not fully satisfied with
the condition of the county. Well,
they are not to be blamed. The Re-
publican officials of Fulton have been
levying a low tax rate, to curry favor
with the people, until now the people
find that the county is at least 20
years behind other counties in the
state in the way of public improve
ments. And still, with no improve
ments to speak of, the county fund is
over paid, which the people cannot
understand. The fact is, the Repub-
lican officials of Fulton have been
asking the people for but compare
lively low rate of taxation, but what
they haze collected went into their
own pockets, and the county is left to
take care of itself, and the people at
last find themselves way behind the
times. 1t is an easy matter to point
to low tax rate, but when asked to
see what improvements have been
made, the whole thing is given away.
Henry county's tax rate may be lit
tie higher than that of Fulton, but
Henry is up with the times and is
classed with the progressive counties
of the State, Poor, misguided Full
ton.

IT'S passing strange that our coun-
ty debt was not wiped out when Bro.
Russell of the Signal was at the head
of the auditors Office, for he is a Re-
publican, and according to his reas-
oning, all Republican has to do is
to say presto change, and the debt
is gone! Now Democrats can't do this
trick, only Republicans have the
mack. And just why they do not use
this power at Columbus is an enig-
ma, also. The debt and financial con-
dition of the state is an elephant on
Republican hands, SO much so that
they have been transferring funds,
and creating new funds, to keep the
state from going into bankruptcy,
and still they refuse to use the won
derful gift--if gift it is.
Bro. Russell not using it when he
was in condition to do so, and
the Republican dynasty at Co
lumbus not bringing it into requisi-
tion, is a little suspicious that the
whole thing is nothing but buncombe.
Then, how foolish it is for the Sig
nal to try to make people believe that
Republicans have gifts which are not
vouchafed to Democrats! Also, be-
cause the county officials are Demo
Gratis, that the county is going to the
dogs! Henry county is just as dear
to Democrats as to Republicans, and
their interests are Identical or should
be.
Auditor Resh, the board of Com
missioners, with the help of the other
officials, all Democrats, are doing
Fall in their power to administer the
affairs of the county in an honest and
business-like manner, and we defy
any set of Republicans to do better,
the Signal Notwithstanding.

THE people have no confidence in
the present mayor of the city. He
has shown himself utterly unworthy
the dignified position he holds. He
has made Toledo ridiculous from
ocean to ocean. He has no friends
in this city Toledo Commercial.
The Commercial breaks out as
above, and the lines are only few of
hundreds of like nature which appear
in that sheet from day to day, scoring
the present Mayor of Toledo, Guy
Major, a Republican. Oh, there's
stacks of harmony in the Toledo Re-
publican camp, and it's of that nature
which tends to a complete victory for
the Democrats. That Major is the
laughing stock of the state there is
no mistake, and the better class OF
citizens uphold the Commercial in its
stand against the freak of a Mayor,
whose actions have stamped him un-
fit to be the head Of a great city like
Toledo.

How much more manly it would be
if the Signal would stop befouling its
own nest, and occasionally speak a
good word for Henry county and its
advantages. Instead of standing up
for it's county, it never passes over an
opportunity to stab it in the back, to
crafty selfish political spirit. Our
Democratic officials come in for big
share of its ire. Why, simply because
they are Democrats and using all
honorable means to govern the coun-
ty in the best interests of the people.
Come, brother, be man, throw aside
your political prejudices and selfish
ness, and help to build up Henry
county instead of tearing it down.
Henry county is all right. Circum-
stances have made it such that our
bonded debt is large-a thing that no
party-Republican or Democratic
could avoid. But a bonded debt
should not be used as a weapon to in
jure your county. Show us county
carrying a debt and we will show you
a progressive county.

NOT a few believe that Senator
Brice caused the duty to be placed
upon sugar and coal, as against free
sugar and free coal as provided for in
the Wilson bill, but such is not the
case. The duty was changed by the
Senate subcommittee, consisting OF
Senators Mills, Jones and Vest. When
this was done Senator Brice rightly
demanded that duty be placed on
iron, for if one section of the country
was going to be protected he asked
in the name of his state that a duty
be placed upon iron. In other words
he was not willing that the products
of West Virginia and Louisiana be
protected and Ohio products neglect
ed. The Senate has made a mistake
in monkeying with the Wilson bill,
it was all right so far as it went, as it
came from the House.

THE Supreme Court Of Ohio has de
cided that business transacted by a
person when drunk is invalid. There
would seem to be need Of an amend
ment defining the degrees Of drunken
ness. A man as Beaconsfield said OF
Gladstone, intoxicated with his own
verbosity," would be presumably re-
sponsible under the Ohio decision,
but if he were, as Artemus Ward ex-
pressed it, drunk enough to lie down
and feel up for the glass, he would be

ton Of any business requiring perpen-
