The Bank of Lineville Cases.

The time of the district court at
Corydon was occupied mainly on Satur-
day and Monday by cases growing out
of the failure of the bank Of Lineville
at this place. In the intervening suit
of the directors of the Bank of Lineville
against A. L. Rockhold on note for
$4,000, the attachment of the real
estate conveyed by the latter to P. A.
Rockhold, was dissolved the garnish-
ment remaining in force and the origin
al suit going over to the next term Of
court. On Monday the question Of
whether the bank was running under
the expired state charter or as a part
nership concern came up in court on
the application of G. W. Hson, Receiver
for the Bank of Lineville, for an order
| by the court for an assessments of so
per cent of the capital stock to pay de-
positors and many witnesses consisting
of officers, directors, and stockholders
of the defunct bank, and other citizens
of Lineville testified and many facts in
regard to the loose methods of doing
business by the bank, not heretofore
made public, were brought out. The
trial resulted in decision by Judge
Towner that the bank had been running
as partnership concern from the ex-
piration of the state charter about five
years ago until it went out of business
last May, and the order for the assign
nent of so per cent on the capital stock
was ordered by the court. If the bank
had been in operation under the state
charter at the time of it's failure the
stockholders would have been liable
only for the amount of their stock; but
as partnership concern they are held
responsible for all of the debts Of the
bank. Some of the stockholders Of the
defunct bank are now insolvent and the
i liability and burden Of making good the
depositors and other creditors of the
bank will rest upon less than half of the
original number of stockholders and it
is even questioned that they will be
able to do so. bmeville Tribune.

GAINESVILLE Fair Notes.

The management is under lasting OBJ
legations to Messrs Biddison and Forbes
for valuable help as it was through
their influence that the Decatur county
harness horses were brought to the fair.
G. M. Axes, the official starter, did a
good job, and showed that his heart is
in the right place by refusing to make
a charge for his services.
From Decatur county came James
Gill with the famous pacing mare Lady
Strathe, E. P. Hamilton with the well
known mare, Lady on Time and, G. Nj.
Axes with his fine little pacing mare
Melissa K. Decatur county also furnish
ed Hot Tonic, q running mare, which
won every race she entered.
e. P. Hamilton, the veteran trainer
and driver of Garden Grove, was here
with his superb trotting mare Lady on
Time, but unfortunately no trotters
were here that could "warm 'er up" as
uncle Bob Bowsher so often declared.
James Gill, auditor of Decatur county,
owner of Lady Strathe, drove like vet
eran in the go to set track record. He
also made himself useful as stable
boy. When he comes again we hope to
have something that will make him
hustle.
Charley Alss, Of Leon, "swipped" his
wifes driving mare and entered her in
the 2:3O pace, winning 3rd money. But
Charley got even by winning 1st in the
mixed pacing and trotting consolation
race. He didn't know that time would
be caught in the last heat and allowed
his mare to go easy on the stretch, yet
the mile was made in 2:3o.-Cainsville

The Cost Of a Good Road:

(Franklin Matthews in June Outing.l
The cost of road building varies in
the different places according to- the
topography of the country and the
proximity of the stone used. A salts
factory highway can be built eighteen
feet wide exclusively of stone usually
for $4,000 to $500 d mile. These
are known as macadam roads A more
costly stone road running from $4,000
to 5000 a mile is the Telford road.
Both are named after Scotchmen, who
first devised the systems. the ma
cadam road consists Of deep fOunda
ton of large stones. laid as smoothly
together as possible, the foundation
stones being Of a nearly uniform size
A layer Of smaller stones is placed
over the foundation and rolled down,
binding the two together. Then lay
ers of crushed stone, each layer being
of finer quality than its predecessor
are rolled into and over the founda-
tions The final layer is Of very fine
crushed stone. The whole settles itself
into compact mass, almost as smooth
as a flag stone. from which water runs
off as soon as it falls. The Telford
road is more expensive because its
foundation is laid with more care.
The foundation stones are of uni
form size and are laid with the ends
uppermost like so many bricks sets
upon edge These are bound together
by smaller sizes of stone, the various
dressings of finer stone being laid and
rolled in the same way as for the ma
cadam roads. The durability of such
a highway is unquestiOnably longer
than any other kind of road known.
