satisfactorily.
Rep.-Thep. Doctor. the per'orations that were
sewed up were healed perfectly?
DR., C,-Perfectly. Indeed, so much am in
pressed with the operati n that am satisfied
the practice hereafter will be to perform the
same operation as was had in the csse OF Dennis.
After opening the abdomen, we had TO take out
the coagulsted blood and the matter that had
leaked from the intestiDes. We then replaced
the bowels after cleansing them, and as there

The Carrolton Railroad Company cay they will
not be assessed at more than $3.50, 600, and that
they will, II necessary, carry the matter up TO
the United States Supreme Court through their
foreign stockholders. The company base their
right to this claim on the ground that there
never bas been more than $500, 90 paid in on the
stock OF the company, and as much OF IL has been
invested in real estate, which kind Of prop
erty las decreased greatly stree the
investment, their entire property, capital, stock
and real estate, is, by actual compu alton, only
worth s2B0.O0O. Our city authorities, however,
cay that they cannot SEQ 1t in that light at all,
and contend that they have nothing to do with
what has been paid In on the capital Of the COM
paDy. What they know IL that according to the
books OF the compsny themselves. their capital
stock Is $4,000 shared in equally by the old
lessees and the stockholders Of the new COM
pany, at the time OF the fusion, and they think
that by making . fair allowance, the assessment
on the capital of the company should not be less
than 100000.
OBJECTION TO THE BELT RAILROAD.
II 10 also understood at che City Hall that the
Carrollton Railroad objects to the laying Of the
Belt Railroad on Louisiana Avenue where the
tracks OF their own accommodation line are laid.
The Mayor says TO this that the company should
not forget that even IL IL we're admissible that
they owned an exclusive privilege to use Louisi-
ana Avenue, the privilege would be for the pur-
pose OF running horse cars, not steam locomo-
tives, but they have neither and certainly moth
ing in his power will be left undone TO prevent
this interference with the Belt Railroad, the sue
cess OF which and it's great usefulness to COM
MERGE have been air ady proven.
