Fire at Pennington:

Pennington was visited by a confa
grafton Saturday night, which destroy
ed a large share of the business portion
of the city. The fire originated in IL
pile of corn stalks near the NickersOn
stables, among which it is thought some
sparks from passing engine fell. A
strong wind was blowing, and as the
town was built mostly of wood the fire
spread rapidly. Hotels, the bank, stores
and the elevator of the G. NJ. & St. p.
railroad were consumed. The elevator
contained $4,000 bushels of wheat, the
most of which belonged to s.. Paul
parties. The total loss was estimated
at $4,000, insurance only $4,000.

The Central railroad, which is a

CINE and crew double the road every
day, making total run of 100 miles,
the longest run in the State. They

their freights shipped via the latter
road to Winnebago, and hauled up by
team. They claim it will be much
cheaper than the cost of transferring

the people along the line, who voted
hundred thousand dollars to build
this road, have some rights which
ought to be respected, and some reas-
enable requests that ought to be
granted.

This they seek to obtain by the aid of

money power, the power of patronage,
by raising false issues to alarm the tim
id, and other device they can invent is
brought to assist them to attain this end.
See the great corporations that are
springing up everywhere. They will
not look at State charter, but must go
to Congress to become incorporated.
Railroad companies and banks must all
be chartered by the United States Con-
gress TO carry on business. Formerly
they were content with State charters,

shows the drift toward Capitalization.
