500 strikers marched to the Jeddo

say the mine is working. Only one
man was hurt.
The settlement of the steike is un-

The employers claim that in fixing a

reduction of the price of powder to

STATE VS.. VANDALlA
Judge Carter Hands Down An Opin
ion On MOoted Case.

Judge Carter Hands Down An Opin-
ion On MOoted Case.
indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 19.-Judge
Carter of the Marion county superior
court yesterday handed down his opin-
ion in the suit by the State of Indiana
to recover nearly $1,000, 900 from the
Vandalia railroad. He holds that the
state Is entitled to recover $745, 154b5
instead of nearly four times that sum,
which was demanded.
This action was based on the pro-
visions Of a special charter granted to
the railroad company which built the
Vandalia railroad from Terre Haute
to indianapolis. The charter provided
that any excess OF profits earned by the
company after repaying the stock
holders all that they had invested with
10 per cent. interest and a dividend
Of Is per cent. per annum. and setting
aside a sufficient reserve fund, should
be paid over to the state. 1t is said
that the attorneys for the state are
almost as dissatisfied with the decision
as the railroad company. since it gave
them only small part Of the amount
sued for.
