HEAVY DAMAGES ASKED
SUITS FILED AGAINST BIG FOUR AND
l.. f. a w. RAILROADS.
John HOman Seeks Relief in Divorce
from Excessive MISUNDERSTANDING
Company Loses q Suit.

Three suits for damages for fatal rail-
road accidents were filed in the Marion
county courts yesterday. two of them
against the Lake Erie & Western Railroad
and the other against the Big Four Com
pany. The suit against the Big Four was
filed by John Clark. who asks Judgment
Of $4,000 for the accidental death of his
sixteen-year-old daughter. Jennie Clark. on
peculiar grounds. Miss Clark fell off Big
Four train at Lawrence, Ind, in July last,
and was ground under the wheels.
In describing the accident the complain
ant in the suit for damages says that his
daughter was returning from Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, where she had been enjoying
vacation, and was tired out and worn to
WEAKNESS when the train approached her
home, Lawrence. The brakeman of the
train walked hurrie6ly through the coach
at that time and called the name of the
station. Clark claims that his daughter
arose in half-dazed and stupehed condi-
ton and walked to the platform OF the
car, where. because of the sudden starting
of the train on signal from the conductor
she was jerked off to the ground and under
the wheels of the moving train. He COM
plains that 1t was negligence on the part OF
the brakeman in not properly awakening
her, negligence on the part of the engineer
in starting the train suddenly and neglect
of duty the part of the conductor in not
seeing to the proper discharge OF his pas
sengers at their respective stations
Another railroad accident, in which Ford
Bazel a ward of Nathaniel Seymour, was
injured. and which resulted in the perma-
nent Gripping of the boy in the loss of one
of his lower limbs is a basis for an action
for damages. Young Bazel was hurt In
jumping from a moving freight train OF the
l.. +. & w. road near the fair grounds. AS
he jumped from the train his foot slipped
and he was drawn under the trucks. His
guardian, Seymour, AYERS in. the complaint
that young Bazel and a companion OBJ
tanned permission from the conductor OF
the freight train at Washington street ana
to the fair grounds. While they were en-
route the conductor Is accused or having
drawn a revolver, threatening to shoot the
boys and cursing them until Bazel, thor
oughly frightened. tried to get on the train
while il was running at the rate OF tnlrty
miles an hour. The name OF the conductor
is not furnished in the complaint. judg-
ment of $4,000 is demanded.
The other case against the l.. E. a w.
road is that of Ella Manion, Administrative
of the estate of Michael Manion. who was
killed on the tracks between Washington
street and Market street June 9. Mrs.
Manion demands a Judgment OF 10000 she
AYERS that this railroad has gradually en-
croached upon public property on the banks
of Pogue's run between Market and WASH
ington streets until 1t occupies all OF the
roadway with its tracks. There is a sharp
curve in this stretch Of the track and pc
destrians are unable to see approaching
trains, 1t is complained.

BACHELORS ARE JOYFUL.
Suit Against Laundry Company
Gives Them Cause for GIee.

The replevin suit Of Henry H. Lowell
terday in the Circuit Court, furnished ex-
amples of some of the petty Inconvenience
of bachelorhood. Lowell is travelling man.
and, like many single men, has much
trouble in keeping his collars and shirts
clean. He sends many bundles frequently
to be washed. but, as generally happens in
cases of extreme haste, he fails sometimes
to get them back in time to use them and
has to buy more. About a year ago he
sent bundle of laundry to the Progress
laundry from his boarding house which
contained clothing valued at about S. 1t
never came back. Diligent search and loss
of time did not turn up the missing shirts,
and a replevin suit was brought in Justice
favor Of Lowell was secured in that court
and Judgment for the value of the shirts
granted.
The laundry appealed the case to Judge
Allen. During the trial ii developed that
the Armstrong laundry had the shirts. but
identical shirts. but others that he had lost
track of. The incidents of the trial, the
exhibited shirts and the earnestness of
both sides to the controversy were anus
ing TO the spectators in the court, and the
decision of Judge Allen in favor of the
plaintiff was pleasing TO the bachelors. who
felt that they had again secured possession
OF one of their inalienable rights. hitch
in the proceedings was discovered when the
attorney for the plaintiff forgot to prove
the value of the shirts. but this was RENE
died shortly afterward and the judgment
against the laundry entered. The owners
of the laundry declared they would appeal
the shirt case to a higher court

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
HOLIDAY ACTIVITY Is APPARENT IN
NEARLY ALL LINES.
Prices. Except for Flour, Fruits and
Vegetables, Are Higher-Grafn
Market Is in Better Condition.

AS the holidays draw nearer trade with
the dealers in fancy notions. books and
lines of goods which usually move at such
times, it is very apparent that the trade of
the holidays is to be in excess of that of
any former year Dealers in these lines
of goods have better prepared for the holi-
days than usual, and the wholesale houses
are very busy in filling orders. Produce
merchants also are preparing for big holi-
day business, and prices are to range high
er than last year, owing to the great
scarcity Of eggs, poultry and choice butter.
but in the line of vegetables prices favor
the consumer. Irish potatoes. onions, cab
bage and similar articles are selling lower
than last year. Choice apples are high.
but the more common fruit is reasonably
of Wednesday. Bananas are in good sup
ply and no higher than usual, and nuts rule
at the same range of prices Of former
years. In confectionery no higher prices
are ruling than in former years. Flour is
easier in tone. The iron and hardware
houses are quite busy for this season of
the year, the delayed winter being in favor
of their trace. Indications are for lower
prices for hides next week, the stronger
tone to the hide market having passed
over. Leather is quite active and prices
are the same as for two months past. Seed
merchants report trade light and are turn
ing their attention 10 furnishing evergreen
for holiday decorations.

VANDALIA Is PROSPEROUS
THE ROAD Is NOW MAKING THE
BEST EARNINGS IN ITS HISTORY.
Local Lines Advance Rates on Iron
and Iron PrOducts-Trunk Lines
Will Renew Anti-Pass Rules.

w. III. Coleman, general freight agent of
the Vandalia, was in the city few hours
yesterday in conference with Receiver
Malott and TO attend a meeting Of freight
men. Mr.. Coleman takes a rosy view of
the traffic situation. He said that in his
long connection with the vandalia he has
never known the road to be earning so
much money or to be better managed than
at present. The new engines came just in
time TO improve the situation. The road
is now well supplied with power and would
be as TO cars IL connections would promptly

shape as TO power and cars just now than
any other line in this territory. The roads
coal traffic has been very heavy, but the
company would have experienced little
trouble had consignees unloaded cars with
promptness. which they would probably
have done had the weather been more win
ter-like. The Logansport division is proving
profitable adjunct to the system, and is
really making better earnings proportion
ately per mile than is the main line. so
much OF the business being of a local
character and paying better rates. The road
is handling at present very little grain,
but Is receiving some cotton and lumber
from Southern roads. TranScOntinental
line business is unusually good, and the
Vandalia has no room to complain. Mr..
Coleman thinks that present prosperous
conditions will continue for some months

When the feud of hot and cold
Leaves the autumn woodlands bare;
When the year Is getting old.
And flowers are dead. and keen the air:
When the has concern,
And early sounds his raucous note:
And-where the late witch hazels burn
The squirrel from a chucklng throat
Tells that one larders space Is filled,
And Tits upon a towering tree;
And valiant. quick. and keenly thrilled.
Up starts the tiny chckadee;
When the suns still shortening arc
Too soon nights shadows dun and gray
Brings on. and fields are drear and dark
And summer birds have flown away
I feel the years slow-beating heart
The sky's chill prophecy I know;
And welcome the consummate art
Which weaves the spotless shroud OF snow,

TESTIMONY IN REBUTTAL.
1t Il Sought to Refute Statements of
Striking Machinists.

Some testimony in rebuttal of the testi-
mony of the defendants in the case of the
Indianapolis Drop Forging Company
against the local lodge of the Machinists
Union was heard by Judge Carter in Room
8. Superior Court, yesterday The testi-
mony introduced sought to refute some of
the statements of the strikers that there
had been no acts of violence committed in
the prosecution of the strike at the forg-
ing company's plant. The testimony was
all In late In the afternoon. Argument was
to have been heard but was postponed
until this morning, when the case will have
been completed. 1t is expected that the
court will continue the temporary order
restraining the strikers from maintaining
a lockout at the plant, until he has con-
sidered the case on its merits, during the
time which he is expected to take 1t under

Demand for Motive Power.

A number of railroad companies are al
ready placing orders for locomotives to be
delivered in 1904, and in number of in
stances 1t is stated the roads. in order to
secure power, are paying as high a premi-
UNI as $1,000 per locomotive. The premium
is not paid TO the locomotive builders, but
to other railroads which have secured
space with the builders. Roads finding that
they will not require for some time all the
locomotives ordered, or for which space
has been reserved, are disposing of por-
ton of their orders to other roads at a
premium. This is made necessary by the
heavy demand for motive power and the
fact that the locomotive works have orders
on hands that will tax their fullest ca
pacity for 1908.

MADE HIM TAKE BATHS.
John HOman Complains that His Wife
Was Entirely Too Neat.

In the trial of the suit for divorce by
Sarah Holman against John Homan yester-
day several unusual incidents Of married
life and personal history were told in the
testimony of witnesses. Romans chief
complaint against his wife is that she was
too neat and tidy a housekeeper for his
comfort. He explained to Judge Allen that
his job of shoveling coal for the street car
company caused him to get sooty and
grimy, and that when he would come into
his own house his wife would make him
take a bath. In addition to this she made
him stay in one part of the house while
he was dirty and provided chair labeled
with a ribbon for his exclusive use. Ho-
Ian says this grated on his nerves and he
left her about six months ago.
During the trial it developed that Mrs.
Homan has had two former matrimonial
experiences with negroes. This astonish-
ing testimony was not a surprise to Ho-
man, who said he knew 1t and had troubles
of the same kind In his family.
