Limited,

People have frequently noticed the
above term in connection with the
English Companies doing business in
this country. An exchange gives the
true definition of the word as applied
to English corporations In Eng
land they have a limited liability act,
by virtue of which, shareholders in a
corporation are exempted from all liza
bility for the debts of an incorpora-
ton beyond the sum of their shares.
A similar law exists in many of u
States, but in England it is customary
for subscribers to the stock of a cor
poration to pay their subscri ptions in
installnentS, and under the law they
are only bound for the amount re-
manning unpaid. Hence, the use of
the terms paid or unpaid in their
stock report, as either shows the eX-
ten Of the liability of the company
The term limited is simply used to
denote that the shareholders of an in
corporation are only liable for its
debts to the amount of their unpaid
subscriptions, as distinguished from
the interpretations on the old individ-
ual responsibility plan"

The Dixon Calamity.

One most singular circumstance has
turned up in connection with the sad
affair which TRANSFERRED recently at
Dixon, Illinois. A letter was pub
lished at New York, May 6, says the
Sacramento Union, in which it is en-
plicitly charged that Truesdell OBJ
tanned the contract for building the
bridge over Rock river by bride rv-a
most ~disgraceful act, if true, and per-
fectly in character with the miserable
nature of the structure which was
erected. 1t is said he bought four of
the eight Aldermen of the city at
prices ranging from $500 to $500. The
names of E. B. Baker and II. p.
Becker are given as having received
$500 and $500 respectively, and the
transactions are said to have been
effected through one Dickson. Baker
was at one time postmaster CT Dixon,
and he is the father Of Irene Baker
who is reported among the killed. If
the circumstances are such as have
been stated, we say, with a local paper
in that section of the country, that
Baker has met with a woful jndg
ment in the killing of his own daugh-

Travel to Tahoe.

We prefer the original liquid name
of Lake Bigler, but then we are not
particular about trifles. To quote
from the Iruckee Republican of late
date, tourists are beginning to arrive
at Tahoe. Thus farIhe larger portion
have been people from the East. 1t
is most too early in the season for the
beauties of Tahoe to be fully appre-
ciated, as warmth and physical COM
fort are essential to the enjoyment of
beautiful scenery. Those who visit
the lake now will, doubtless, be more
impressed with its grandeur than
with its beauty. Two or three lines of
stages are running between
Truckee and Tahoe, and the travelling
public have excellent accommoda-
tons afforded them. We are in
formed, alse, that the new double
deck steamer, Governor Stanford,
Captain W. H. Lapharn, will daily
visit all points of interest on the lake
after Thursday, thus furnishing
tourists with opportunities to make
their visit complete.
