BOTH ARE IMPROVING.
Nelson DingIey and John II. Young
May Recommendations Condition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. n.-Greater en-
enlargement for the recovery of Represent
ative Dingley is felt by his physicians to-
night than for some days. This is based on
the wonderful manner in which he has kept
up in his desperate illness and the remark
able vitality shown. Save for new compli-
cations, which are not now looked for, the
family feel very hopeful that the worst is
past The patient has been fairly comfort
able to-day, has taken nourishment freely
and is resting well tonight.
The condition of Hon. John Russell Young,
librarian Of Congress- who has been seri-
ously i'll for the past two weeks at his resi-
dence in this city, has shown a gratifying
Improvement in the last two days. His
principal affection is an acute attack of
rheumatic govt, complicated with an eX-
hausted condition induced by overwork
While his malady is a very painful one yet
he is able to give some attention to office
matters, but with the best possible inn
provement he will be confined to his room
for several weeks.
Paymaster General Stanton, of the army,
is seriously i'll at his home here with pneu-
mOnia, resulting from the grip. Because of
his age, nearly siXty-fOur years, some APP
prehension is felt, although tonight he is
resting well
Both Hon. John w. Foster and Hon.
Wayne MaCVeagh are better to-day. The
former is now able to sit up at times.

over the Logansport Route.

The County Commissioners, with County
Attorney Brown yesterday rode over the
proposed route OF the Indianapolis, LOgans-
port & Frankfort Electric Railroad be-
tween this city and the county line. The
railroad company is after a franchise over
the Michigan road, and the commissioners
went out to look over the ground. The
railroad company has proposed that its
track shall run in the center of the road,
but farmers all along the line have objected
to this They think the track should be
built at the side of the highway. The COM
missioners, after driving over the route,
agree With the farmers. They say there is
plenty of space along the west side of the
highway and if the franchise is granted
the railroad company will have to agree to
build the track at the side of the road But
one man along the Michigan road has OBJ
iected to the proposed electric line. He is
a farmer who mas built new house on the
west side of the highway and has q fine
lawn The commissioners say he has taken
more of the highway than he is entitled
to and if the road is built along the west
side it will perhaps interfere with his lawn
He is willing TO accept the road if the COM
missioners will grant franchise on the
east side.
