Says $1.671.23 Is still Due Him as
Architect of Insane Hospitals.

The three Superior Court judges yesterday
heard the claim of e. H. Ketcham, archi-
tect, against the State of Indiana, who ayers
that the State is indebted to him for serv-
ices rendered in the erection of the three
insane hospitals at Logansport, Evansville
and Richmond. Mr.. Ketcham asserts that
he was employed to draw UP the plans for
the buildings, the contract STIMULATING that
he was to receive ~ per cent. of the amount
expended for construction. There is due
him, he says, on the account, a balance of
Sl,611.23. The plaintiff also sets out a spe-
cial contract with the State, by which he
measured and inspected the work of the
painters employed on the buildings. He
says he was employed for thirty days at a
salary of $40 a day.
Until the session of the General Assembly
in 1889 the State could not be sued. The
Legislature of that year enacted a law vest
ing the Superior Court of Marion county
with jurisdiction to hear legal or equitable
claims against the State held by reputable
persons. The law also provided for the adj
judication of such claims in the Superior
Court. In the proceedings of yesterday the
State was represented by attorney Leon
Bailey, Acknowledgement ketcham being a
brother of the claimant. The judges have
taken the case under Amusement.

Electric Locomotives for Tunnels.

Railway officials all over the country are
watching with more than ordinary interest
the efforts of the Baltimore & Ohio to OBJ
viate the smoke, gas fumes and gloom
which make tunnels so nauseous by using
electrical instead of steam locomotives.
Should the plan prove the success that is
expected. other roads will likely introduce
the same method OF hauling trains through
long tunnels. The b. a. O. tunnel at Balti-
more is one mile and a half long, and does
away with ferriage across baltimore har-
be promptly adopted by the Pennsylvania
road at Baltimore, as 1t could not allow a
competitor to possess so great an advan-
tage exclusively, and like considerations
would cause the extension of the system to
all underground railroads, as it removes the
greatest objection TO them. The expert
ment of the Baltimore a. Ohio tunnel will
settle whether roads cannot as well be
operated by underground tracks as by ele-
waited tracks, thus doing away with the de-
facenient of surface tracks.

Deaths OF Railroad Men.
The announcement OF the death of Capt.
j. M. Phillips was quite a surprise to the
large circle of railroad men who highly
esteemed the deceased. Captain Phillips
began his railroad career as a fireman on
the Jeffersonville, Madison & indianapolis,
two years later he was made an engineer,
and a few years later was promoted to be
passenger conductor, a position he held for
many years, leaving that position to become
superintendent of the Kentucky Union road;
later he was offered and accepted the di-
vision Superintendency Of one of the lead
ing roads In the Southwest. He kept up
his membership in the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers. His remains arrived
at Jeffersonville last night and Will be
buried there to-day.
Walter C. Quincy, prominent in railroad
circles throughout the country, died at
Pittsburg Sunday night. He was sixty-four
years OF age and had been identified with
in with the Baltimore e. Ohio road
when a boy, and from a messen-
ger boy worked himself up to a high posi-
ton in the service of the road. During the
war he had charge of the maintenance OF
way department., and at the close Of the
rebellion was stationed at Newark, O., re-
naming there until 1878, when he came to
Pittsburg. He then opened up the Pittsburg
e. Lake Erie road and for several years
was one of It's managers. He subsequently
went to the management of the Mononga-
hela Connecting railroad, and was general
manager of that road until his death.

In A MIDDLE AGAIN
WESTERN PASSENGER AFFAIRS IN
WORSE SHAPE THAN EVER.
Smithcrccns by the Union Pacific
and tae Boycott Restored.

Western passenger affairs nave gone TO
the bad all at once, and are now In a
worse muddle than they have been at any
time during the past six weeks. The
Union Pacific is the cause of the difficulty,
and to say that the representatives of the
other lines are weary of the manner in
which that line acts is putting it very mild
~. To begin with, General Passenger
Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacific at Chi
cago, announced yesterday that his line did
not intend TO open up the Oregon short line,
as was announced on Saturday. 1t was
first claimed that the resolution offered in
the meeting by Mr.. Lomax opening up the
oregon short line was misunderstood by all
the other lines, and that In reality the
Union Pacific had no intention Of opening
up that line. The other lines intimated very
positively that they had not misunderstood
the resolution, and the Union Pacific then
claimed that it had been entrapped, and
that in any event 1t would not open up the
Oregon short line. This announcement sent
matters back with a jerk to the original
position. the boycott against the Union Pa
ciflc by tire Rock Island and the Burling-
ton was again declared in force and matters
were worse than at the beginning. for every
nouy was Iun OF wrath, ana SIGNS OF an
symptoms of a fight. The Union Pacific
then demanded the insertion of a rule in
the rate sheet giving the impression that
rates from Missouri river points to San
Francisco and other California points were
applicable only over its line. This was vir-
tually asking the other ranscontinentaI
lines to admit the Union Pacific as the only
road between the Missouri river and Cali
fornia. The other lines lost no time in re-
fusing this proposition, and there the matter
rests for the present.
Tn situation has been further compli-
Gated by the announcement of the Missouri
Pacific that it will not become a member
of the Western trunk committee Until the
Union Pacific has Joined it.
