Railroad Meeting 1t shreveport.
The Shreveport Telegram OF March IL
contains an account Of . meeting held there
To advocate the interests of the New Or
leans Pacific Railroad Company. Mesers.
E. B. Wheelock, the president; General
Jack Wharton, and B. H. Greene, chief en-
eineer of the road. arrived early in the
morning from Marshall, and the meeting
was held at the Cotton Exchange at 1890
Pm. Colonel R. H. Lindsay presided,
D. M. Callihan, Esq., acting as secretary.
Both President Wheelock and General
Wharton addressed the meeting, advocating
immediate action, and promising, in case
that was had, complete road by the first
of December.
Mr.. A. H. Leonard thought there would
be no difficulty in securing immediate
action.
President Wheelock stated that twenty
five miles had already been graded, and it
was the intention of the company to put
1000 hands at work as soon as the parishes
took action. He also said that proposi
ton had been made to furnish American
steel rails at $50 per ton.
Chief Engineer Greene said the cost OF
grading would be $4,000 to 100000 per
mile.
Mr.. Leonard then offered the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That committee of five be ap.
pointed BY the chair to consider ways and
means by which to carry out the contract
entered into between the city of Shreveport
and parish of Caddo and the New Orleans
Pacific Railroad Company; said committee
to report at the next meeting OF the citizens,
to be called by the chairman of this meeting.
The chair appointed Messrs. A. h. Leon
ard, Nathan Gregg, John J. Koran, E. D.
McKellar and J. M. Foster as the committee.
The following resolutions were also
adopted:
Resolced, That President Wheelock be
requested TO obtain the consent Of the board
Of directors of the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad Company. to the expenditure Of
this parish and city, both in bonds and
cash, upon that portion of the road between
Shreveport and Mansfield, commencing at
Shreveport.
Resoired, That the action of the commit
tee sent to New .Orleane, in making the
contract which was made with the New Or
leans Pacific Railroad Company, is ap-
proved BY the people of this parish, and
being confident Of our power to carry said
contract into execution, we hereby request
the president of the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad Company at once to have the
most direct and cheapest route from Shreve-
port to Mansfield surveyed.
After few remarks by Colonel s. j.
Ward, Colonel w. S. Haven, and others
present ard interested in the road, the

Miss Anderson's Benefit.

The New Orleans public are doing them
selves great credit in deserting ephemeral
and variety entertainments and focking to
the support of wholesome and legitimate
plays at the St. Charles Theatre. So far in
her brief engagement, Miss Mary Anderson
has been the recipient of many favors,
flowers and applause. She is novice, not
finished actress; she is honored for what
it is believed she will accomplished more
than for what she has done. She will be
rendered . complimentary benefit on Fri.
day night, appearing in Romeo and Juliet" +"
and the prospects are that the occasion will
be . worthy ovation to worthy young
lady.

The Board of Liquidation met yesterday
morning in regular session.
Present-Governor Kellogg, Lieutenant
Governor Antoine, Speaker Estilette,
Auditor johnson, Treasurer Dubuclet,
Secretary of State Deslonde, Fiscal Agent
Baldwin, and w. C. Black, Esq, president
of the Cotton Exchange.
The matter of the funding of the $5,0OO.-
600 consolidated bonds was further de-
ferred, awaiting the action Of the Supreme
Court.
An application to fund bonds known as
"the property bank bonds, =" was rejected,
the report of the special committee of the
House of Representatives being referred to
as follows:
The State issued its bonds to the Con-
solidated Bank, of which there are now un
paid the sum of $5O6, $50, and to the Citi-
zens' Bank, "a 297 1888 33; total bonds of this

of bonds are secured by what is known as

while from the great depreciation of prop
erty, in many cases, that Of the Citizens
Bank is not 80 considered. Both sets Of
bonds are, however, absolute debts Of the
State. and were issued when the authority
clearly existed, in order to enable the banks
to borrow money on which to commence
banking operations. The money raised by
sale OF these bonds was loaned to the
stockholders Of these banks for fifty years,
the limit OF their charter, the loans being
secured by mortgages upon the plantations
or houses of the stockholders. The debt is
absolute, though secured by collaterals.

The Citizens, savings Bank.

Act No. 43 Of the last session of the Legis.
lature, approved yesterday by the Gov.
ernor, and promulgated in the official jour
nal to-day, is one Of considerable importance
to class Of bank depositors who have suf-
fered on account of not being able to con.
troll their own savings. The act amends an
act incorporating the Citizens Savings
Bank, and an important amendment is the
provision made for small depositors, and
the protection offered especially to minors
governed by tutors or improvident parents,
and to married women. The act au-
thorizes the Citizens Savings Bank to re-
ceive deposits from ten cents and
upward, and to hold such deposits
subject to the order of the depositor,
and to repay them on his or her or.
der alone as deposited. The privileges ex-
tended thus to this bank should long since
have been extended to all banks of deposit
by general law, az has been done in Mis-
souri,, where savings banks are in the most
fourishing condition, and in many of the
Northern States. In the manufacturing
towns, where women and children have
been encouraged to save their small earn
ings, the law has proven to be blessing.
Women able to earn money, and disposed
to place it at interest against q time of
actual want, lose heart when they see
aspendthrift husband able to dem and and
obtain their savings from the bank, 1t was
such q robbery as the bank officers we're un-
able to prevent, for the law made the mar
ried man supreme and the married woman
nothing, go far as q bank account was con-
cerned. Many minors we're as badly off; be-
fore he became Of age boy could not feel
that his money in bank actually belonged
to him. Convince boy that he can be .
banker, make deposits and draw checks,
and he begins to save his earnings. And
any law, or special act, that tends to en-
courage and protect unfortunate women
and children must be considered as good
and useful.
