The Equitable Savings and Loan Associa-
ton of Indianapolis yesterday took steps

secured from the auditor of state author

tary Of the association yesterday stated
that the assets We're about $4,000 and the
liabilities about 5000 Included in the as
sets, however, is fund Of $2000 which is

Inc Equitable began operations March q,
years, it is claimed. When the hard times
came, however, much of the real estate
that had been loaned upon was thrown back
on the association and on May 10 last an
its shareholders to cover losses from bad
loans The association was the pioneer in
making such an assessment and the matter
was given much publicity: a suit was
brought to test the right of the association
To levy the assessment, and the court de-
cded that it had the power to do so. Then
the suit for a receiNcrship was brought
During the last year the liabilities have
been greatly reduced. On July l. 1896, they
amounted To $156000 which was within a
few thousand of the assets In the last six
months better business conditions have en-
abled the association to sell at advan-
tageous prices $59.0Oy worth of real estate
and the liabilities are now nearly Sle0 600

The Big -Four Not Included.

Those well informed as to the obligations
of the Big Four lines and the plan under
which the several roads comprising that
system were consolidated, say that it is
not at all probable the Vanderbilts will
make any attempt to consolidate the Big
-Four with other properties in which they
are interested, unless il might be by the Big
Four absorbing the Chesapeake g. Ohio it's
most natural ally. The Big -Four is so
located geographically that 1t is naturally
a separate system and its securities are
now placed at a low interest and no re-
trenchment could be affected by any con-
solidation the Vanderbilts might propose
unless it be with the Chesapeake & Ohio.
At present both interests are being oper-
ated on very economical basis, NJ. r.
Ingalls, being president of both and his
roster of officials not exceeding what would
be required legitimately under any circum-
stances But few lines of equal mileage are
operated so near at minimum cost as are
the Big -Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio.

H.. e. s ST. lie Princeton station.

The city of Princeton has filed In the
United States Court an answer to the pc
tition of Receiver George 7. Jarvis. of the
Louisville Evansville & st. Louis Console
dated Railway Company, in which petition
the receiver sought permission to erect new
station buildings on new site in Princeton.
The city claims that the erection of the
buildings at the point desired by the COM
pany would be detrimental to the citys in
terests and cites the provisions under which
the railroad obtained its right of way
through the city. The road was given it's
option when constructed to occupy any
streets necessary for it's business. The city
claims that in constructing its tracks and
buildings where it did the railroad COM
pany exhausted it's privilege under the
grant and cannot now occupy other ground
without consent of the city.

Two FairIy-dressed strangers Robbed In n
Barn Near Newport un Friday.

hnrn Near Newport uu Friday.
Two fairly dressed strangers, whose
names could not be learned, were
robbed by tramps in barn on George
kirkman's farm, southeast OF Newport,
between midnight Thursday and day
light on Friday, and one of them
was brutally assaulted. The assailants
threatened to kill both, but did not
carry out their intentions.
According to the men who were
robbed, they stopped at the barn early
in the evening for the purpose Of
spending the night. They were on
their way to Baltimore, where they ex-
pected to obtain employment with the
oyster dredgers. They had some money,
but were not very well supplied and
thought they could pass the night com
fortably in the barn.
After they had been there for some
time party of tramps entered, the
presumption being that the tramps had
seen the two men 90 to the barn and
suspecting that they had money in
tended to commit robbery. They had
scarcely entered the building when
they attacked the two men and held
them up. The latter manifested an
inclination to resist, when one of the
burly tramps grasped one of them by
the throat and cholsed him almost to
insensibility and badly injured him in
other ways. Both were overpowered
and robbed of all of their valuables,
except few pennies, which the tramps
evidently overlooked. Fearing that an
alarm would be given, the tramps
threatened to murder the two men, but
fled with their booty without carry
ing out the threat. In addition to
money, the tramps carried off some
clothing, including valuable overcoat.
