Chicago Record Sold by Mr.. Lawson

CHICAGO, March 26.-The Record to-
morrow will print over the signature OF
Victor +. Lawson. the following announce
ment:
''To the Readers of the Record-The Chi
cago Record was established twenty years
ago in connection with the Chicago Daily
News, which latter publication has recently
completed its twenty-fifth year OF issue.
For the last thirteen years L have con-
Quoted both the Record and the Daily
During these years American journalism
has so developed that the publication OF a
single metropolitan newspaper now I'M
poses such responsibilities as seem to fairly
and wisely measure the activities of one
man, as their successful discharge should
certainly fully satisfy his every proper
ambition. a generous public has placed
the seal of its approval on both news

the largest circulation of any newspaper
published in the United States sold at it's
price. The Chicago Daily News has the
largest paid circulation of any newspaper.
morning or evening, published in the
United States. In view of these conditions,
it seems wise that / should now recognize
those reasonable limitations of business
activity TO which the years entitle me and
content myself with the labors and re-
sponsibilities of one newspaper. Acting
upon this conviction, l have sold the Chi
cago Record to Herman II. kOhlsaat, who
will hereafter issue ii in conjunction with
the Chicago Times-Herald under the title
the Chicago Record-Herald. 1t is a dis
tinct satisfaction to be able to commit the
Record and the interests of it's readers into
such worthy hands. Mr.. Kohlsaat and his
excellent newspaper have long since
achieved n national reputation, which gives
to the readers of the Record ample assur-
ance that the Chicago Record-Herald will
fully maintain the standard of enterpris-
ing, nonpartisan and independent journal
ism to which they have been accustomed.
1t may be added that the numerous orig
inal features and characteristics which
have given the Record its peculiar individ-
uality among American ~wspape will be
continued unchanged in the Record
Herald. American journalism is imper-
sonal, and l recognize that public interest
concerns itself with the newspaper rather
than with any individual. and yet In view
of twenty years relationship, it seems ht-
ting that l should make this personal state
ment TO the readers of the Record and
gratefully acknowledge my Indebtedness
for their generous confidence and support
during these many years. l commend the
Chicago Record-Herald under Its new
management to their equal favor.

LOST ITS CASE.


Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSNILLE, Ind, March 26.-
The subsidy case of the Frankfort 81 State
Line r.. X. Glover Leaf against Center
township, Clinton county, was brought TO
a close to-day by a ruling of Judge West,
who instructed a jury to return a verdict
for the township. In 1882 the Clinton County
Commissioners refused to pay the subsidy
o. $4,000 on the ground that the railroad,
prior to that time, had not expended the
money necessary for certain pledged con-
StructiOn. Then, on an appeal and change
of venue, the White County Court decided
that the company had mace the necessary
improvements and was entitled 10 the sub
sidy. Judge West held that the White
County Court had no authority to make
such a ruling in view of the order previous
ly made by the Clinton County Commits
sloners. The amount involved, Including
interest, was about 46.000.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The dense fog

various steamship lines and has caused de-

port. 1t took the Cunarder Etruria a full
day to grope her way from Sandy Hook to
her dock, and two of the big liners-the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and the Fries

evening, were afraid TO venture up to the
city and sought a safe anchorage in the
upper bay. The American liner Vaderland
made her dock at a little after 10 o'clock
tonight. The Ward liner Morrow Castle.

Hitch over Block Coal Scale.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, March 26.-The scale COM
mittee of the block coal operators and
miners met here to-day in an effort to set
tie local differences and sign the yearly
scale, but they failed to agree and an adj
journment was taken till Friday morning.
There is considerable in the way of a settle
ment. The miners contend that according
to the Columbus agreement the day men
are TO receive an advance of 10 cents a day
and the track layers an advance of 3 cents
a day, and the operators contend that an
agreement of that kind was not made. The
powder question is also a subject of con-
siderable discussion, as has been the case
in past years. the miners insisting upon
purchasing powder in the open market.
The settlement in the bituminous district
will have a great deal to do with the adj
justment of the scale here. and both opera
tors and miners are hopeful of a settle
ment in the bituminous district by Friday.
