Decatur Western, spent eeveral days last week with the new earners of that road in New York. At the recent sale the property was purchased by the first mortgage bondholders. They 2iad not expected to buy, and at first yr ere rather Inclined to selL After a careful Inspection of the property, however, they became convinced that they had secured a road susceptible of rapid increase In business and value. They have withdrawn It from the market and have decided to make all necessary Improvements in road bed and rolling stock to make it in all things first class. This will be good news to shippers along Its line, 'and especially to the people of Indianapolis.

It Is the only road that has not been swallowed up and absorbed by some big system and its identity as an Indianapolis road lost. (runtl Trunk Meeting. The Ions expected and much discussed meeting of the stockholders of the Grand Trunk railroad, of Canada, began in London. England, yestefXlay. A large number of angry stockholders were present when the meeting was called to order, and it was evident from the start that a lively time might be anticipated as President Tyler and the directors, as they appeared, were received with loud cheers from their supporters, and with equally strong manifestations of displeasure in the shape of groans and hls3es from those who were displeased with their policy.

business of the meeting began with a protest against the re-election of Lord Claude Hamilton as a director. Sir Henry Tyler answered this protest by saying that objection to Lord Claude Hamilton came too late. Referring to the affairs of the railroad the president said that they had met with a succession of disasters In Canada and in the United States. The seriou business depression in those countries during the past two years, the silver and tariff questions having delayed or destroyed all trade. Then there was the coal strike, which was followed by the sympathetic strike In aid of th Pullman workmen and Its serious consequences.

The Orand Trunk suffered not only in the decline of Its traffic, but from low rates, especially on the Chicago division, which, under the circumstances, were now surprisingly bad. Continuing, President Tyler eaid that the board selected by experts in Chicago in order to examine the books was welcome to make the fullest Inquiry Into the affairs of the company. The directors had nothing to conceal and wejeomed the Investigation. But the matter was too serious to admit of discussion among stockholders, and he, the president, therefore asked them to support the directors. The dlscusalon which followed developed considerable angry feeling, The motion to adopt the report was amended so as to postpone the acceptance of the accounts 4Uitll the investigation was comnlcio.

Th amendment was carried by one vote. Sir Henry Tyler demanded a poll. Th9 result frill be announced. Good Xevra for Paymasters. Judge Hallett, of the United States District Court for Colorado, last week directed receiver Trumbull, ef th Union Pacific, Denvar Gulf, to recognize no assignments df wages due employes, but to pay all moneys to the persons in whose names the wages are entered on the pay roll.

The presentation of claims under such assignments had become quite annoying. This will be pleasing news to superintendents and paymasters of roads outside of Colorado. Every official who desires to get rid of this class of employes, who are always assigning their fa-ages, will be glad of this aid from such a powerful source. At first sight the Judges action seems harsh, for It will deprive some railroad employes of the privilege of borrowing money when they are in distress. But it Is likely that -the rules of the company, well known to the employes, forbids a-elgnments of wages, and that, therefore, the order of the court is not In the nature of Instructions to the receiver, but rather of a little bracing up in the performance of an unpleasant duty.

Where an employe thus has fair warning, the right of the manager is pretty plain and the main thing for him to look out for la not to do Injustice to deserving employes in real distress. If he is harsh or careless in this direction he will find public sympathy -with the employes and they will easily get magistrates to entertain proceedings against the road. Valley Hood to lie Reorganised. The Valley railway, running between Cleveland and Can-ton, is to be reorganised In favor of the Wheeling Lake Erie railway. Notice has been given to the hoMera of the" first mortgage and the consolidated and second mortgage bonds of the Valley Railway Company that a plan and agreement for the reorganization of the Valley road has ben made and entered Into.

A mortgage of Jl.600.000 held by the Central Trust Company, of New York, is a lien on the property of the Valley company, as is second mortgage held by the same company, and a suit is pending for foreclosure in default of payment of these mortgage bonds and interest on them. The road has been controlled by the Baltimore Ohio for several years. The bondholder interested in the reorganization plan will now press the foreclosure proceedings In order to secure control. The new deal will prove of Immense-benefit to the Wheeling Lake Erie, as it decreases its coal haul to Lake Erie by at least twenty mile1. The corporation, which is to bt formed by.

aid of the' reorganization committee, will have capital of $7.000. 000 and will Issue bonds not to exceed bearing interest at 5 per cent, and maturing in fifty years. Home-Seek Excursions. The Atchison roal yesterday announced that It would, on Nov. 6 and 20 and Dec.

1 Tlie? Santa fe Muddle In the United States CVurt at. yesterday. Judge Foster decided fhit the injunction proceedings brought agiilcst the Santa Fe stockholders to prevent them from holding an election, except by a cumulative ballot, must be dismissed as to the nonresident defendants, but that the injunction must hold as to the Kansas defendants. Judge Foster said the case came under the act of 1SJ8 defining the district In which a suit may be brought, and In accordance with that act the suit may be brought either in the district where the plaintiff rrsldes or In the district where the defendants reside. The nonresident defendants are B.

P. Cheney, of Massachusetts: James A. Blair, of New York, and D. B. Uoblnson, of Illinois.

The Kansas defendants are C. K. Holllday. C. S.

Gleed. E. Wilder and L. Severy. The attorneys for the defendants then asked for an extension of time that they might amend the evidence wWch they wlsred to file before proceeding with the argument of the case on its merits.

They said it was necessary to amend their evidence on account of the decision of the court, to which they wished to conform. General Tracey said he was opposed to any dilatory proceedings, but an adjournment to 2 p. m. was finally consented to. In the afternoon the case was argued at length.

Cutting: Down Expenses. To-morrow a general reduction In salaries of officers and wages of employes on the Indianapolis, Decatur Western will go into effect.

Aiflrmed. Hackney, J. Two grantees of the north and south halves of land, without having paid the consideration, executed two separate mortgages. The grantor recovered judgment for the balance of the purchase price and foreclosed the vendor's lien, subject to the mortgages. Pending the year for redemption, the f)laintilt died, and the sheriff conveyed the ands to his heirs, Including said two grantees.

Thereafter said mortgages were foreclosed and redemption had by the administrator of said plaintiff. Partition proceedings were had between said heirs, and part of said land was set eff to the said mort-gageors and four other heirs. Afterward the said part again divided, by the tenants In common, and one of the mortgageors got ten acres and the -other sold his Interest to the other heirs. Before the partition two of the heir? 'mortgaged the undivided two-sixteenths t- all of said, lands, and after the procei Jngs one of the original mortgageors mortgaged one-stxteenth of the land set off to himself to the other mort-gageor and the four other heirs, and after the last division the other heirs mortgaged the land deeded to them. Said whole tract was mortgaged to secure attorneys' fees after the partition proceedings.

Held: that before the parUtlon the lien for redemption money in favor of the estate could have attached only to the undivided interests of the original mortgageors, and when their interests were severed the lien, if it attached at all, was confined to such severed Interests. Held, also: the estate became subrogated to the claims and Hens of the mortgagees, and there was no such Interest by the heirs in euch claims as would authorize, muchf less require, that they should be set up in the partition suit, so that the administrator of the estate, not being a party to the partition proceedings, is not precluded by the decree therein. 16D4.

No warmer and more appreciative tribute was ever paid to a distinguished veteran of the Union army than that laid at the feet of Gen. Robert S. Foster, at Grand Army Hall, last night, on the occasion of the presentation of a badge tendered by the Indiana Department of the G. A. R.

to him as the first department commander. But it was more than an official presentation; It was an assembling of the veterans living in Indianapolis who hare come not only to respect and be proud of General Foster as a gallant soldier, but to love him as a comrade, to show him by their words and presence how near he is to them. The women, too, were present, who have done so much to help the needy and suffering among the veterans. Department Commander Marsh came from Winchester, he said, to pay his homage to the soldier who had honored his State. The Bald-headed Glee Club was there in full force, with its latest recruit, ex-Marshal Dan M.

Ransdell. Every Grand Army post was represented. Commander Lucas, of Thomas Post, called the meeting to order, and Chaplafn Van Busklrk, of the same post, invoked the divine blessing. Rev. Dr.

Lucas spoke of the occasion and dwelt upon the Idea that the renown of every soldier was the glory of every private soldier who did his duty. Department Commander Marsh made an eloquent address, saying that the first man killed in actual battle in the war was an Indiana soldier, at Laurel Hill. He said that he had come to pay a heartfelt tribute to one of Indiana's best soldiers and best citizens. Capt. W.

A. Ketcham, of General Foster's regiment, spoke in eloquent words of the regard all veterans have for General Foster. Col. I. X.

Walker, who was assigned to present the badge, gave briefly the part which General Foster took In the organization of the Grand Array, showing that he was not only the first member In Indiana, but the first department commander In the country, His presentation sentences were eloquent and full of feeling. When he said it was an honor to belong to an organization which made one a comrade of such men as Foster, McGinnls, Knefler and Coburn two sharp volleys of hand-clapping followed. GENERAL FOSTER'S REMARKS. In response to Colonel Walker. General Foster spoke as follows: "Comrade Walker, Gentlemen of the Committee and Comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic of Indiana It is with a.

feeling of pride and sincere gratitude to the members of the G. A. it. of Indiana that I accept this beautiful badge, the tonen of your kindly feeling toward myself and of your approval of my connection with the Grand Army of the Republic during its eariy history and early organization in Indiana. I shall prize it not alone for its artistic beauty, out more as a souvenir of my connection with the G.

A. as a heritage to my children when I am gathered to my fathers and as a memento of the humble part 1 was to play in the great and bloody drama of the late civil war for the suppression of armed treason and rebellion against the civil authority and for the preservation of the Constitution and civil liberty throughout all this broad landNorth; East, South and West. I thank the comrades of the committee, as well as, my friends and acquaintances who are members of the Grand Army of the Republic, tne grandest and most patriotic organization of any land or of any period. "What can be grander, or more sublime than an organization of ex-soldiers and sailors of taat grand Union txrmy who stood shoulder to shoulder for four long years of bloody strife, combatting treason and rebellion and the enemies of the -Hag that should have been then, and, thanK God I Is now an emblem of liberty, equality and unity of all American citizens before the law, as well as an emblem of protection on land and sea the world over. "I am proud of my native State of Indiana.

Within her domain I first saw the light of day a State that sent over of her brave sons to the front to battle for the preservation of the Union, a State wjiose soldiers participated in nearly every Important battle of the late war, and who gave up the full measure of their lives in defense of our free Institutions, and whose bodies lie buried in nearly every national cemetery in the United States. To have been a Union soldier In the late struggle was but to have been a Union soldier from the great State of Indiana is an additional honor of which any In-dianlan, native or adopted, might feel justly proud. In the language of a distinguished soldier, 'No other country on earth ever produced such another army as that which assembled to put down the "I do not flatter myself that the presentation of this beaut if ml badge Is to me personally for any especial merit of my own, but to me as the representative of the Grand Army of the Republic and as the first department commander of this department, as well as the first department organized In the; United States. Were I to attempt to manifest to the honor conferred upon me on this occasion I should belle my feelings as well as the emotions that spring up from a grateful heart overflowing with gratitude at your mark of approval for my connection with the Grand Army, and again I say, while I am not aware of any especial act on my part entitling me to this honor, I accept it not for myself alone, but in behalf of all the comrades the Grand Army who so ably, and zealously, and faithfully aided and stood by me during the organization of the Grand Army in Indiana in 1S66. "The objects and alms of the Grand Army then and now are the same.

Friendship, loyalty and charity were then the corner stone of the order, and they are now its foundation. It was our aim then and is our duty now to teach patriotism, encourage loyalty, and keep alive the memories and perpetuate the friendships formed during our service in the late war of the rebellion when fighting in defense of the Constitution and the Union, and against its foes, from without as well as within. As the years pass, our ranks are becoming depleted and we approach the dark river where we cross and join the silent army of comrades mustered out before us we should close up our ranks and stand closer together, helping and encouraging each other to bravely meet that last enemy of our race. When we answer to the last roll call let us do it with a consciousness of having done our duty to our God, our country and to ourselves. "I recognize here to-night many who belonged to the Grand Army during the early period of Its history, and a brief account of its early organization may not be inappropriate at this time.

I beg to state some facts that seem to have been for hv ne time in dispute. During the summer of 1813, an4 immediately after the close of the war and the mustering out of the vast army of volunteer soldiers of the Union army, a number of us met In this-city to devise ways and means of organizing the ex-soldlers of the Union Army resident in Indiana Into a society or union for mutual protection, and to give aid and assistance to our comrades who were in need and were worthy of our attention. We had been in corre-Fpondence with parties In Illinois regarding an organization Intended for the benefit of ex-soldiers of the late war, and which was strongly recommended to 113 by prominent ex-soldler3 of that State I was selected to go Sprincnejd to Investigate and report upon the character and supposed efficiency of the soldier organization belm? formed in that State I went to Springfield during the month of July, 1SG6, and there met Major Stephenson, who had been a surgeon of an Illinois regiment. I found In Major Stephenson a grand and enthusiastic friend of ex-soldlers, and he had devised a form of organization which, while enough of mysterious and ritualistic ceremonies to make it attractive. He was extremely In earnest In his description of his favorite plan for organizing all the ex-soldlers of the Union army Into one grand brotherhood for mutual protection and benefit.

He communicated to me the work In all its detail, and administered to me th? obligation taken by all who enter the Grand Army, and I became a full-fledged member of the G. A. but I was a veritable 'member at without a department and without a post. He gave me copies of all the forms of ritual, blanks, that he had printed or written, with full authority to organize the order at any place I thought proper, saying, I am very glad to have some one take hold of this plan and work It up. as they do not manifest much interest In the order here In I returned to Indiana, and we immediately organized a post of the Grand Army in Indianapolis, designated as Post No.

1, and at the same time the Department of Indiana, of which I had the honor of being selected department commander. We sent Inspectors throughout the State to organ ize posts and to muster In all ex-soldler3 who had an honorable discharge and who expresyed a desire to join the organization. Ex-soldlers set up the type and printed all our literature, blanks, etc, kind friends furnished us with ample funds for our work of organization, and within ninety days we had over sixty thousand members in the Grand Army of the Republic. In addition, we mustered ex-soldiers of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and Issued to them charters authorizing the mustering of different posts in these States, because there was no other department to apply for a charter. The first national convention of the G.

A. R. was held in this city in 1SR6, at which Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, presided.

At this convention Gn. Stephen A. Hulbut was chosen as national commander" and I was selected as Junior vice commander. I think only Illinois and Indiana were represented at that convention. Behold the Grand Army of to-day, numbering Its hundreds of thousands, with departments and posts In every State and Territory In the Union.

This, my comrades and friends, Is the history In brief, and such was the beginning of this grand soldier organization in Indiana in 1S06. Now nearly thirty years have passed, and the W. It. C. and other auxiliary societies have been organized to aid the G.

A. R. "Before closing, permit me to mention the valuable aid and assistance rendered me by the ex-soldiers and loyal citizens of Indiana, many of whom I recognize 1 here to-night. Many have removed from our State and many have passed to the great unknown. They, with personal effort and with their money, both of which were given freely, made it possible to organize so grand an army in so short a time.

I have not intended. In this brief narrative, to give any especial details of the organization of the G. A. R. in this State, but only want to Impress upon your minds the fact that the Grand Army of the Republic of Indiana was the first department organized In the United States.

It is so apparent as to require no defense. My comrades, I again thank you." General Foster was frequently interrupted with applause. At the conclusion, General Knefler said that the people of Indiana should not forget that It was Foster's division which checked the last attempt of the enemy to get to Grant's rear after he had broken through the union lines in front of Richmond, and that it was General Foster's division which, by the severest marching, placed itself across Lee's path at Appomattox, Sunday morning, April 9. 18f3, and caused the surrender to take place there. General McGinnls, in a few humorous remarks, attributed the honors which General Foster attained to the fact that he was at first a member of the Eleventh Indiana.

Kv-Governor Chase and Colonel Hollo-nay spoke briefly. W. C. Smock contributed not a little to the interest of the occasion by a song full of pathos. Then all the comrades the ladies present came forward and shook hands with General Foster, and then closed one of the veteran meetings which will be long remembered.

Indeed, It is not too much to say that so many really excellent addresses were ever made on a veteran occasion in thU city as last night, when Gen. Robert S. Foster was honored. SEVERAL PARK SITES A TItIP TO VIEW THE VARIOUS L.O-CATIOXS MADE YESTERDAY. Mr.

Earnsliavr Well Pleased with the Natural Ilenuttes of Two of the LocationsOthers Not So Good. Joseph Earnshaw, a well-known landscape gardener of Cincinnati, City Engineer Brown and E. F. Claypool took" quite 'an extensive drive yesterday looking over the available sites for park purposes. They started from the Warfdngton-slreet bridge over White river and followed that stream up to Fall creek, carefully looking over the ground so as to be aide to form an idea of the cost of 'the improvements necessary to convert any desired spot into a park.

They then followed Fall creek to the fair grounds and' took a look at that property. From there they changed their course and went south, passing east of the city, viewing all the property between the city and Irvington, and then on south till they reached Garfield Park. In the conversation with Mr. Claypool last night he stated that no opinions as to the availability of any of the proposed sites had been reached, nor would be for several days yet. In speaking of the different locations he gave some idea of the rough estimates placed upon thm by the dity engineer and Mr.

Earnshaw. The tract along White river, he said, would not be very costly, but in the future the improvements necessary to bring It up to the present condition of the other proposed places would probably make its cost fully as much as any of 'iliem. The Fall-creek site smed to be looked upon with favor, partly on account of the presence of the stream, but the one which seemed to possess the most natural advantages is the tract of land lying east of the city in tho neighborhood of what is known as Stratford. There the land is more rolling than at any other ioint near the city, and has the advantage of a good clear stream running through it. From Stratford south there is no other property that would be available until the neighborhood of Gar-fiold Park is reached.

There ail the natural advantages pertaining to the StraJtfonl location are again to be found, although probably not to such a great extent, but this place has the additional advantage of having a small park already improved, making that much less to be provided. These opinions are simply those gleaned from the conversation as the party drove over the different tracts, and are not given as the conclusions of the engineers. Mr. Earnrfiaw was very much lmpresv5ed with the natural beauty of some of the sites shown him and is confident that, with the Judicious expenditure of a reasonable amount of money, Indianapolis can secure parks which will rival those of any city in the country. SACRIFICE OF HORSES.

Fifty Rend Disposed of at the Dell Arenn Snle. The first combination sale at the new Deli Arena stables on East Washington street, owned by J. T. Johnson Son, yesterday morning, resulted In the sale of fifty horses. The sale was somewhat disappointing to the horsemen from the fact that buyers were not very plentiful nor were they liberal In their bids.

While some of the horses went at what would seem to be ridiculously low figures, the prices are considered by horsemen to be all the animals were worth. It was a noticeable fact that as a rule style alone had little Influence In the price. If a horse did not show hl3 ability to make good time, his beauty would not take the price up Into three figures. Most of the horses offered were colts and had to be taken largely on a man's own Judgment of horseflesh, which accounts in a large measure for the low prices which ruled. Most of them had fairly good pedigrees, and some of them had been worked enough to show what might be expected of them In the future, but others were sold simply on their possibilities, as shown by trials up and down the street and in the stable lot.

Luella. a four-year-old chestnut mare, brought the best price of the day, t2W. She was the exception to the general rule in that she Is not a fast horse, but Is a fine show mare with a good record as a roadster. The following is a li3t of yesterday's sales: Thoroughbreds Bay mare. chestnut mare.

A Side IsMtie. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. In these stirring political and football times two Connecticut newspapers are engaged in a ferocious debate on the responsibility of Henry VIII for the death of bis wives Consumption. The incessant wasting of a consumptive can only be overcome by a powerful concentrated nourishment like Scott's Emulsion. If this wasting is checked and the system is supplied with strength to combat the disease there is hope of recovery.

Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil, with Hypophos-phites, does more to cure Consumption than any other known remedy. It is for all Affections cf Throat and Lungs, Coughs, Colds, Bron chitis and Wasting, Scott Bowne. N. Y. AMDruggists.

ZOn. THE FUTURE OF THE BATES. Mr. Claypool Will Put Vp Ilnnd- e.orae Structure on the Corner. The talk of the proposed improvements to be made at the Bate3 House has been revived again by some rumors that reached the street yesterday.

Mr. E. F. Claypool was seen last night and asked about It. He said that so far as the rumors referred to any Immediate improvement they wiere fslse; but that an improvement was con templated and would be made.

The lease of the building does not expire until two years rem next May, and nothing can be done until then Just what will be done Is uncertain. Mr. Claypool said that In view of future improvements on this corner he had paid particular attention! to hotels in other cities, so as to be prepared when the time cama, to put up building on that square that would bo the of the city. He spoke fome noout the possibility of remodeling it, but did not seem to think that he woula do po. preferring, ne eaid, to build a fine building there that would be as noir fire proof a.

The father of the child wept in bitter anger In the court room, and declared his purpose to have personal satisfaction if the accused is found guilty. Horace Heston, who fled to Chicago when the affidavit charging him with running a lottery shop on Kentucky avenue was filed against him several weeks since, was arrested on his return a few days ago. and was tried yesterday before Judge Stubbs. The court assessed a fine cf $100 and costs. An apoeal was taken.

Stephen Tyler was fined $50 and sent to the workhouse for thirty days for having burglar tools in his possession. Small Fire In Old Jonrnal Building. The roof of the old Journal Building, at the corner of Market and Pennsylvania streets, was damaged about $200 by fire yesterday morning at 9:20 o'clock. The fire originated In the office of J. T.

V. Hill, and Is supposed to have been caused by the fire in his grate. One of the firemen, in speaking of the building j-esterday, said that the number of small tires which had been discovered In it was not at all surprising. He said the fault was a common one In the city, and was to be found in the manner In which the grates were constructed. When natural gas was Introduced In the city a large number of buildings, which had been constructed with small flues for the of stoves, were fitted out with grates without proper eare being taken to widen the chimneys and uuna sona iounaations unaer the grates Building; Permits.
