Foreclosing on streight Homestead.

William E. English, as one of the execu-
tors of the estate Of the late William H.
English, has brought suit in the Superior
Court to foreclose a mortgage on the
Streight homestead, comprising about TWEEN
ty-five acres of ground east of the city,
Mrs. I.avina Streight, widow of the late
Col. A. ID. Streight, is one of the defendants.
Mrs. Streight at present occupies the prop
erty. The complaint sets up the allegation
that in 1887 Abel d. Streight executed three
notes to William H. English. One of the
notes was for $3.50, another for $473 and the
third was for $7,S66. The notes were all
payable at the Indiana National BaIIh. The
paper, it is claimed, was secured by mort
gage on the Streight real estate east of the
city. 1t IS averred the notes are now due,
and the plaintiff asks that the property be
sold to satisfy the MORTGAGE.

AGE LIMIT FOR ENGINEERS
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AS TO
JERSEY CENTRAL'S ACTION.
Large Freight and Passenger Engines
for the Pennsylvania-C.& o. and
interchangeable Mileage.

The statement that, after Jan. 1, all engi-
neers on the entire Jersey Central road over
fifty years Of age would be taken off their
engines and given work of some other char
acter by the company, is exciting consider
able criticism. The management assigns as
a reason that they could not afford to run
the risk of having men above fifty years of
age holding so responsible position as
that of engineer. In talking of the mat
ter yesterday a railway official said he did
not know but that it was right to take such
action; certainly it was if the engineer was
given something else to do not so hard on
the nerves as running a locomotive in these
days of fast service. IAN engineer" said he,
wears out as much now in ten wears as in
twenty when / first went to railrOading
but think the road should give the engi-
neer pleasant job pension him on half
pay. The fact is that there are engineers on
our road that L am satisfied should be CIV
en- something easier to do, and in some gases
should be pensioned." He then cited two In
dianapolis lines where engineers had been
running over thirty years, had lost their
nerve and had asked to be given engines
hauling slower trains. He named some roads
that are taking off their veteran engineers
and pensioning them. The Wabash is one.
On Wednesday, Elisha Candee, who has
been running an engine on the Wabash for
thirty years, was laid off, the company
agreeing to give him half pay during life.
j. Q. Van Wrinkle, general superintendent Of
the Big -Four lines, said it was uncalled for;
he thought that any engineer who could
pass the rigid examination as to eyesight,
hearing, ETC., required by the railway man
agements, was fully competent to run an
engine. 1.-The best engineers on the Big
Four said he, "are over sixty years old.
Within the last year, he said, lone engi-
neer, seventy-six years old, on the Bee-line
division, was dropped, he failing, for the
first time, to pass the examinations and Gre
on the same division and another on the ST.
Louis division were dropped, both being
over seventy years of age. The Big Four is
exercising caution in this matter Fortu-
nately, the engineers dropped in each case

suing the Consumers Gas Trust Company
for damages on account of an alleged illegal
arrest. The company prosecuted the plain
tiff in justice of the peace court, where
it was charged he was using the company's
gas unlawfully. Wilson was acquitted and
brought the suit in the Superior Court for
$4,000 damages. The companys attorneys
are defending the suit on the ground that
when Wilson was arrested he made no at

charges against him, and it was not learned
the wrong man had been arrested until the
case had been tried before justice of the
