His Little William,

After a strange-looking old chap had
been hanging around Michigan-ave-
nue. grocery for a quarter of an hour
yesterday, he was asked his business,
and he replied
swell, l am poor old man, have
son six year old, named William.
He is a lovely child, and he is now on
bed of Sickness"
"But this is not drug store" said
the grocer.
| ''Mebbe not, but this morning when
l was ready to come down town my
little William put his arms around my
neck and said, Father, you are old
and poor and you needn't buy me no
present. That's what he said, and
it touched my heart"
There was pause, during which the
old man wiped his eyes and the grocer
blew his nose and then the former con-
tinued:
81 have no money; I thought I'd
ask you to give me one of those candy
geese on the shelf there. I'd put it
where my William could see it, and
when he found it he'd d ask me how
got it, and I'd reply: "My boy, an
angel on Michigan avenue named Mr..
Blank gave it to me. Let us pray that
he may live many long years. That's
what I'd say"
81 have no candy geese to give
away" said the grocer.
"Not one 2"
"No."
''Not even one for my poor Will
liam ?"
''No, sir. You'd better jog along"
Eyes, guess had," said the old
chap, as he made for the door. "My
William will get nothing. He will
call me to him and ask the reason
why, and I'll tell him that an old pig
on Michigan" ...l.
The grocer jumped at him, and he
lit out and entered store two doors
below and began:
''If you could only give me ten
cents worth of tobacco to put in my
little Williams Christmas stocking,
you don't know how his poor heart
would bless you p'-Detroit Hes Press.

A special despatch from New York
says: The syndicate which in November
bought $4,000 shares of Central stock
from Mr.. Vanderbilt today completed
the marketing, not only of its onw stock,
but also OF 100000 shares sold for the
personal account ofMr. Vanderbilt. The
Transaction was concluded by the sale of
little more than 100, 900 shares, the
remainder In the possession ofthe syn
dicste, to prominent bankers and cap
itallsts in this country and England. It
sold ut 131, and the purchase money,
am ounting to. $4,000, 600, is to be paid
next Tuesday, This complete, within
nve months, the largest sale Of stock ever
made by private person. Vanderbilt
Will receive from 1t over $4,000, 900,
and the syndicate will have gained a
profit Of nearly $4,000, 900, subject only
70 the cost Of marketing the stock. Sew
eral members ofthe syndicate are daid to
nave urged for some time that the stock
should be sold. At a meeting on We'd
nesday afternoon at the Office Of Drexel,
Margan d So, 1t was decided that it
should be sold, and assurances were
given that the whole amount would be
taken. Offers were asked on this under
standing, aud at 10'a. m. to day the
stock was declared sold. Applications
had been SO numerous that the purchasers
Will receive only eighty per cent Of their
subscriptions. One prominent buyer said
that If the subscriptions hadr been kept
open two hours longer the subscribers
not have received more than fifty per
cent.of Il cir original proposals. The pur-
chase 10 made on the personal account
Of the buyers. Much Of It has been

Walton Dc Bro. s Suit.

THEY OBTAIN A VERDICT AGAINST
PANY.
In the United States Circuit Court,
Philadelphia, yesterday, before Judges
McKenna and Butler, was decided the
suit Of Walton 81 Bro, ice dealers, of
this city, us. the Pottsville, Pa, Muiual
Fire Insurance Company, with verdict
for the plaintiffs of $73617, with costs.
About year ago the ice house of
Walton a. Bro, of this city, and its con-
tents, were badly damaged by fire. The
insurance was In the Pottsville Compa-
ny and New York Company, and an
agreement was ertered into to leave The
ascertainment of the loss to two ap-
praisers, the companies to pay equal
parts of the award. The appraisers
were John B. johnson, OF this city, and
John f. Miner, of New York, who, after
making careful examination assessed
the damages at $2440. The New YORK
Company promptly paid its sbare, 1920,
but the Pottsville Company refused to
pay the full amount, on the ground
that its contract with policy-bolders re-
quired 1t to pay only three-fourths of the
amount Of damages ascertained by ex'
animation and assessment.
Messrs. Walton & Bro. then entered
suit for the full amount, with Rufus Z
Sharpley, E,q., OF Philadelphia, as coun
sci. The result of the suit is draw
battle, with the disadvantage on the side
Of the defendant. For while Messrs
Walton & Bro, receive only about wha
the Company at first desired to pa,
them, the Company, having all the cost
to pay, will lose more than If II ha,
paid the $1220 at first, without objection
or delay.

City Solicitor Macallister is now en-
gagged In examining a case which in
terests the city to the extent of about
three hundred dollars, the facts OF
which are, briefly about as follows:
A long time since when Messrs.
Amor H. Harvey and Achilles Hol-
hngsworth were in business in this city,
a judgment was obtained against them
by Mrs. Rice, of Philadelphia. Sub
sequently this Judgment was revived
against Amor II. Harvey, and VIM.
g. Pennypacker, executor of A. Hol-
lingsworth, deceased. At this time
the city was indebted to Amor H.
Harvey to, the amount Of $500. for a
portion Of the bed of Eighteenth street,
and paid him note for the amount,
which was subsequently, renewed, SO
that it came due about the first of Ju-
ly 1879. In March of that year, an
attachment was laid in the hands OF
Joseph l.. Killgore, then City Treas
urer, at the instance of Mrs. Rioe,
against the amount due by the city to
A. II. Harvey, and the City Treasurer
duly answered I'd having such money
in his possession. Notwithstanding
this acknowledgment Of the attach
ment, the note at its maturity, was
paid to Amor Fl. Harvey, with the
accrued interest. The matter then
rested until several months ago, when
il was brought to the notice of the
city by George H. Bates, Esq, coun-
sci for the plaintiff, and the City So
licitor has since been examining the
case. There is apparently no escape,
and the city will be compelled TO pay
the claim, amounting, with interest
and costs. to nearly $500.
The strangest part of the whole af-
fair is that the minutes of Council do
not show single scratch in relation to
the note given to Amor H. Harvey or
the order for its payment.

an agricultural Experiment

In India the husbandman, being
averse to toll "that asks tough sinews," "
prefers to tickle the surface of his
fields with stick instead Of ploughing
them. To convice HIM of his error an
English plough was once imported by
an enthusiastic official, and a number
OF the cultivators of the neighborhood
were invited to witness the great deeds
of the new implement. Bullocks were
solemnly attached to it and urged to
proceed. They refused, of course. and
80 more and more We're added, until at
last the plough began to move but,
whether from the inexperience of the
ploughman or the conduct of the bull
locks, or both combined, in such er.
ratio fashion that its nozzle was one
instant plunged deep into the, ground
and in, the next jerked up violently,
sending showers of earth into the air,
and the exhibition was finally brought
to a premature conclusion by two OF
the bullocks joining in single combat.
The peasants assembled were much
impressed by the behavior of the
plough as a plough, but confided te
their entertainer before leaving thai

! This showed the necessity of train
ing even in what is thought one of the
most common affairs of life. In thil
instance it may have been that mar

attempting to show their superiority
over the old apparatus in the place o.

have seen it stated in the papers
several times that the Fish Commits
sioners, but what Fish Commissiof-
ers it does not state were going 70
stock the Delaware with cod fish,.
The Delaware Bay extends to Reedy
Island, and then from that up to its
sources in New York State. It is CALI
ed the Delaware River. What utter
nonsense to assert and publish to the
world such stuff, that certain men was
gong to stock the Delaware with the
cursed sheep-eyed Goldfish, that hardly
any Delaware negro would eat. III
such fish could be made plenty, the
Delaware River and Bay, open to the
ocean, and are governed by certain fix
ed laws beyond the alteration or con.
troll of man. Goldfish are never known
to ascend the Bay above the Breakwa-
ter or Lewistown. The same will ap-
ply to black fish, sea bass and Holsters,
crocuses about 90 miles up, kiDg-crabs
about 40 miles, Bowers Beach, ap-
pears to be the greatest point for
them; trout fisheries up to Bombay.
Hook; sometimes trout have been
caught at Port Penn, with hook and
line, never above there i believe oys-
ters up to the mouth ofSmyrna creek,
none above; common crabs never reach
Philadelphia, believe porpoises up
to Reedy Island; whales when lost have
probably reached Burlington, but, for
fish commissioners 10 talk of stocking
the Delaware with Goldfish, they might
as well have included whales, for I do
not suppose any man has ever seen q
live Goldfish swimming in the Dsla-
ware River proper, that is, above
keedy Island or Port Penn. The Bay
is open, and if Goldfish wish, as the
trout and king-crabs do along the bay
shore to spawn, there is nothing 60
hinder them. There is nothing the
fish commissioners can assist in, unless
they could transform themselves into
mermaids, and swim with the fish, a.
the carp subject in its infancy. think
these fish Commissioners had better
| let the sheep-eyed Goldfish alone, until
greater supply of this valuable suck
er or German carp is more plentiful
than last fall, when so were considered
an adequate supply for mill pond.--
Next l suppose we may hear of the
Delaware being stocked with alligators
and sea turtles, and the mill ponds
with oysters and diamoDd-back terra
pins. What place this little Della
ware is getting to be, goldfish in the
