HIGHER COURTS IN SESSION.
C.. g.. f.. 1. Road Must Pay Its S25,OOO
Incorporation Fee.

The Supreme and Appellate courts yes
terday resumed their sittings after a vaca-
ton of two months and opinions were
handed down in both courts. The Supreme
Court overruled the petition for a rehear-
ing in the action brought by the State to
recover fees for filing articles of incorpora-
ton Of the Chicago &c Eastern Illinois Rail-
road Company. After the articles were
filed the company learned the fee would be
$4,000. instead of 50. as it expected, and the
p9pers were withdrawn, although the COM
pany continued to operate the consolidated
lines of the road as though it had been
Incorporated. The State recovered a judg-
ment amounting to nearly $4,000. and the
judgment was affirmed som time ago, but
the petition for rehearing was filed, so it
has been pending. Payment will now be
required.
The judgment OF 5000 recovered by Mar
shall Young against the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern Railway Company was af-
frmed. Young took proper precautions in
driving across the track two miles east Of
Vincennes. but an approaching train. run
ming at eighty miles an hour, failed to give
jured.
The petition for a rehearing of the case
oooAASN 90
Railroad Company, in which a judgment
for $500 damages was recovered, was over
ruled. Kelley was a fireman and injured
Dy MS own carelesSness, but was sent 10
the hospital in Peru by the railroad COM
pany and there maintained by the company.
His leg was amputated, but it was held
That the operation was so unskillfuhy done
that q second amputation was necessary.
This was also bungied and a third one was
necessary. The company discharged the
surgeon after the second one, but the court
held that, while the company was not re-
sponsible for the original injury, it was
responsible for having unskillful surgeons
In It's employ and was therefore liable.
The Appellate Court reversed a case in
which a son of John +. knight, Of Terre
Haute, appears. Knight was a veteran and
on his death his son was sent to the Vigo
sented the facts 10 the government and a
pension was allowed the boy, and Scale
was appointed his guardian. One Of the
boys IN the asylum convinced Scale and the
government authorities that he was
Knights son and he got the benefit of the
pension Until he was twenty-one years Of
age. when he and Scale disagreed as to the
amount of money then in Scales hands due
his ward. In the meantime the government
started an investigation. The boy recovered
judgment against Scale for 800 and soon
afterward the government found he was not
Knights son at all, so the court reversed
the judgment in order that the guardian
may hold the money until IL is determined
TO whom it belongs.
The judgment of damages against the
Wabash Railroad Company from the death
of Henry Creagan was reversed.
The appeal 10 the Supreme Court from the
action of Judge Carter. of the Superior
Court of this county, in ordering a sale of
the Broad Ripple road by the receiver he
appointed, was dismissed by the appellants.

JAMES HARLAN DYING.
Former Indianfan Who Is Now Called
sIOwn's Grand Old Man."

MOUNT PLEASANT, Ia, Oct. 3.-Ex-
Senator James Harlan seems a little
stronger. There appears to be no hope for
his permanent recovery, as he is suffering
from chronic liver and stomach troubles.
He has just given $4,000 to the low Wes-
leyan University.
Mr.. Harlan is the last living member of
Abraham Lincoln's Cabinet and Iowa's
grand old man." He occupies a place in the
affections of Iowans second only to that of
the memories clustering around War Gov
ernor Kirkwood. Iowa proudly claims him
as her own, although he was born in ILL
nois and educated in Indiana. He first saw
the light of day in Clark county. Illinois.
n 1920. Four years later his parents moved
TO Indiana. He was graduated from the As
bury University. Greencastle, Ind, in 1916.
was married the same year and came TO
Iowa, where he has resided ever since.
In his early Iowa days Mr.. Harlan farmed
and taught school. In 1s43 he was elected
state superintendent OF schools, serving one
year. He then practiced law, after a season
CT study, until 1853, when he was elected
president OF the Iowa Wesleyan College in
this city, occupying the position two years.
In 1855 Mr.. Harlan was elected United
States senator and he was reelected in 1861.
He resigned In 1866 TO become secretary OF
the interior under Abraham Lincoln. The
following year he was again elected to the
Senate. but in 1872 he was defeated by Will
liam Ii. Allison, who has been reelected
ever since. In 1852 Mr.. Harlan was ap-
pointed chief justice of the court of COM
missioners of Alabama claims, which posi-
ton he held four years.
In 1898 he was called from retirement TO
act as temporary chairmen of the Repub-
lican state convention. AS such officer he
made a speech which had a tremendous in
fuence in checking the threatened bolt of
Prohibitionists on account OF the conven-
TONS declaration for practical local option.
He was a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor in 1895, but his
age was against him.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCING.
Spruce Will Be Higher and Walnut
VIII Soon BE n Rarity.

BOSTON. Mass, Oct. 3~-This week will
probably see another advance in spruce
lumber. dealers and manufacturers
are expected to meet and make a new
schedule, as they say there is a chance for
quite a rise in their commodity under the
agreement which calls for 81 for frames
nine inches and under and SIS for twelve
inches and above. Ten and twelve-inch
randoms. ten feet and above, are selling for
$3.50, m~erchantable boards $14 and cut
boards at $12. While the parties 10 the
agreement consider these prices lower thu
the warrants, consumers claim that they
are about as high as they ought TO be ex-
pected TO pay and are not likely to take
kindly to another advance. So rapid nave
been the advances that buyers have had
hard work keeping up with them. This was
illustrated in the case of the buyer CT a
large lumber concern who was nere last
week buying wood for his firm. lie could
not understand how prices had scared since
he was here last, or between the time of
his leaving England and his arrival here.
Speaking Of the present prices Of walnut,
a State-street exporter said that, aside
from the demand for this lumber, In COM
mon with others, there was the growing
scarcity of the timber, which is becoming
very apparent now, In fact, 1T will not be
many years, he said, before this famed hard
wood will be lost as a valuable source OF
the country's natural wealth. The wood
has disappeared as material in the construc-
ton of any but the finest grades of veneers,
while the export trade. which ten years ago
was at its height, has fallen off nearly one
half. Substitutes are being used by manu-
facturers and a few years hence walnut
pieces will occupy the same place in public
estimation that the heavy mahogany fur
niture does now. In Indiana, where it
seemed a few years ago that the supply
might be inexhaustible, large tracts have
been denuded. and comparatively few re-
main from which timber can be cut for any
great length of time. Southwestern Vir-
sinia also abounded at one time in walnut
forests, but these, with the exception Of
some that are inaccessible to the railroads,
have suffered the same fate as the Indiana
tracts.
