THE MONON'S PROSPERITY
LAST YEARS NET EARNINGS WERE
In EXCESS Of 100000,
And n Dividend VIII BE Paid on the
Preferred stock - General and
Personal Railway Gossip.

w. III. McDoel. president of the Monon
lines. has gone to New York TO attend
meeting of the roads directors. 1t is stated
that semi-annual dividend of per cent.
on the preferred stock will be declared.
The preferred stock amounts to $5.000O00
and the dividend limit on 1t is 4 per cent.
In the last fiscal year the net earnings
reached the $500, 900 mark. The common
stock aggregates s12,O0oO00. and all indica-
tons point to considerable increase in
net earnings over the last fiscal year. The
officials of the road claim that the report
and findings of Special Master Winter in
the suit of the Beattyville bondhoiders
against the Louisville, New Albany & Chi
cago Railroad Company sets at rest every
question to the validity Of the reorgani-
zation and establishes the new company's
title to the property. The new manage
ment Is meeting with success in the man
agement of the property. All surplus earn
ings have been applied to the rehabilitation
of the property. A large amount of new
rolling stock has been bought, grades re-
duced and the bailasting of 107 miles of
road has just been completed.

THE GUARDIAN is FOUND
AFTER JUDGE WALKER HAD AL
MOST GIVEN Up LOCATING HIM.
He Proved to BE the Father of Fire.
man Mankin-Big Damage Suits
Various Court Cases.

The guardianship of William I. Mankin
that Judge Walker, of the probate de-
partment, has been trying to adjust for a
year and half, settled yesterday
afternoon. Abraham j. Mankin was the
appointed guardian, but trace could be
found of him or his ward Notices were
sent to many places and TO the sureties,
but no evidence as to the whereabouts of
either could be learned. There was only
one similar name, that of Maud Mankin,
in the city directory. and she was not in
terested in the case.
Notices continued to be sent out from
time to time. none bringing results until
Judge Walker read in the papers about
the death of Fireman Frank z. Mankin,
who received his fatal injuries in the
Cones fire. He noticed that the fireman
had father in Illinois and that sister
lived in this city. Thinking that there
might be a clew he mailed a notice. and
yesterday afternoon Abraham J. Mankin
came into the Probate Court and said that
he was the long-looked for guardian. He
was the father of Fireman Mankin and
William i. Mankin, the lost ward. but he
said William l. Mankin died three years
ago. Fireman Mankin recently moved to
this city and his name was not in the
directory.

PIANO PLAYING IN COURT
To Demonstrate the Tone Quality of
Instrument.

piano was brought into Judge Car
ter's court yesterday as evidence in the
case of Emil Wulschner &, Son against
Harry G.. Henzie for alleged breach of
contract and damages. The plaintiff al
leges that a shelf-worn piano was sold to
Henzie for $2S5. which was as good as a
new one except in appearance and that
after it had been in the possession of
Henze short while, it was returned and
Henzie refused to make further payments.
Henzie asserts that the piano he bought
was represented to be the same as a 800
piano and that there were hair line
cracks in the finish of the instrument. The
defense claims that these hair lines were
pointed out to the plaintiff, that he was
told the instrument was shop-worn and de-
mands SIS damages for its use.
While the evidence was being heard Mr..
Robinson, the salesman who sold the piano
to Henzie was asked to play the instru-
ment to satisfy the jury that ii was accu-
rate and pure in tone. He rendered a
very fine selection, which seemed to salts
fy the jury, but was not enough for the
participants in the trial. During a short
recess and while the jury was out of the
box, a young lady, who of the
witnesses, was asked to play the piano,
and she responded with rag time" tune.
This put all sides in pleasant frame of
mind and they smiled at each other. Ball
if Phipps slipped up to Judge Carter and
said:
'Say, Judge, don't you think we had bet
ter add a piano to the furnishings of this
courtroom. Then when the lawyers get
into those hot wrangles, all that will be
necessary will be TO call someone in, play
rag time tune and everybody will be
in a good humor."

In the High Courts.

The Supreme Court yesterday, in deciding
the case of the First National Bank of
Richmond against John w. Turner, treas
urer of Wayne county. found that holders
of national bank shares are not entitled to
a deduction of their bona fide indebtedness
from the assessed value of the shares I'm
listing their taxable property. In this case
the deduction was claimed. but the auditor
and County Board of Review refused to
permit ii to be made.
The Supreme Court. in affirming the judg
ment discharging Maggie Kuhn, of Shelby
county, held that the discharge should be
granted for the reason that the criminal
cases should be given precedence over civil
causes, and the fact that the court was
very busy and could not take up the case
at the proper time was no ground for hold
ing q charge against one under arrest
Lack OF time on account OF the trying of
other criminal charges would not entitle a
prisoner TO a discharge.
In the case OF the Fort Wayne Water
Power Company against the Board of
Commissioners of Allen county the Appel
late Court reversed the decision OF the
lower court and found that owners OF old
canal beds were not bound TO maintain
bridges at points where public highways
had been laid across the canals since they
were built.
The court also overruled the petition for
a rehearing I'm the case OF Charles j. Gard
ner against Allen Caylor, in which judg-
ment was rendered for the defendant some
time ago. Gardner owned an Ice machine,
and Caylor and HIS associates contracted
for 600 tons of ice per month during the
summer OF 1896. They took less than 600
tens. and settled each month. Tor the
amount taken At the end OF the season

The executive committee of the Western
Passenger Association yesterday accepted
the report of its subcommittee recommend
ing rates for conventions and meetings.
There was considerable wrangling over a
proposition to- make the Democrats pay
more than the Republicans on account of
the date of the Democratic, convention,
which is July 4 Some wanted to make
rate of one fare plus 81. and others wanted
the Democrats to pay the regular Fourth
of July rate. but it was finally decided that
it would not do to make any discrimination
against one political party. Both conven-
tions will. therefore, enjoy rate of one
fare for the round trip, while the regular
Fourth OF July rate will be one and one
third fares for the round trip, the rate not
to apply to Kansas City except within a
certain radius, large enough to protect
local business.
