A RIDE-As the Waterman at the Grand
frank depot was passing around among the
cars of freight ira n about to leave the depot
yesterday morning he discovered several young
men in box car who evidently had been on a
time and had crowded into the car to sober off.
The Waterman spoke to them, when they be-
gan to insult him. Thinking they had better
take vacation he locked the car, and he con-
ductor sta ted the train. No one but the
Waterman knew that they We're in there, so it
is quite probable that they had a good ride, as
the train was a through freight.

MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION.
A regular weekly meeting of the Contractors'
Association was held at Territorial hall last
night; the president, Joseph Williams, In the
chair, Henry Himber, secretary.
After the transaction Of the routine business,
Mr.. Finley, from the committee on finance, re-
ported that he had proposition in writing from
responsible firm in an Eastern city, Offering to
take half million OF the ass bonds at TX cents
After considerable discussion the fact was de-
veloped that there was an apparent effort on the
part Of the Washington brokers to depreciate the
value Of stocks, and It was openly charged that
at the meeting Of the Stock Exchange yesterday
a bogus sale had been consummated between
Messrs. Peter Campbell and Nourse Middleton
expressed themselves on the subject, on motion
Of Mr.. Himber, the further consideration Of the
proposition was postponed one week.
Incidental TO this discussion, the question as to
whether the certificates Of the board Of audit
would bear the same rate Of interest asthe GER

ment was discussed, and, on motion Of Mr..
OHare, the committee on finance were directed

During the discussion 1t was stated that the
association owned and controlled over two mill
lion dollars worth Of securities.
A motion was made that the members Of the
association pledge themselves TO hold the aud
itors certificates, and refuse TO convert them into
SOS bonds, but, after discussion, the motion was
referred to the proper committee for report.
The gentlemen Of the association seem now to
realize the fact that eYidences OF Indebtedness I"
better securities than 365 bonds, which cannot be
