CLEARING STOCK TRANSACTIONS.

TRIAL or THE METHOD NOW N USE AT CONT
MENTAL EXCHANGES
The experimental operation of Clearing House
for stocks will begin to-day. The system was ill.,
vented in 1867 by German, II. Osterberg, and has
been in constant operation at Frankfort since June
Is in that year. Every member of the Exchange
there II a member also of the Clearing House. The
same system has been adopted at Berlin, Hamburg.
Vienna and London, and in the Exchanges at those
cities has given satisfaction. At Frankfort II was
submitted to the strain of the Prussian war, which
was declared on settling day. There were only
fifteen failures i'll the Exchange, although ut times
during the day there was danger OF panic. 3
The principal advantages OF this method OF
clearing stocks are that no securities or money
pass through the Clearing House that the prices
nown to its employees; that It obviates the neces-
,ltv Of the delivery ofstocks in every transaction
and that il reduces the risks and expenses of the
present method of settlements. The plan has re-
selyed the approval of many prominent members of
the New York Stock Exchange, VINO during the
preseut week will settle their business through the
Clearing House. During the week OF trial no
charge Will be made to members.

WORK OF THE CITY MISSIONS.

Ameetng in the interest OF CITY Missions was
held last evening in the Presbyterian Memorial
Church, at MadisOn-ave and Fifty-thrd-st a large
congregation was present. Tho exercises were
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Charles :. ROBINSON
nastor of the Memorial Church. The principal fea-
lures of the meeting were addresses by the Rev. u.
s. Plumley, and the Rev. A. F. Schaullcr, both OF
whom are pastors OF mission chapels, anu aCuNciy
engaged in mission work.
MIR. Plumley, whose field of labor is in the Five
Points said that that quarter of the city had under
gone great change during the past few years.
Formerly il was the scene of more degradation ana
misery than the imagination could depict. The
streets were thrOnged during the greater part OF te
day and all through the night with CROWDS OF mis-
cradle wretches, ready to engage In almost any ne
gree of crime. Many of the houses had cellars
which were devoted TO the sale OF foul posons' ana
dancing was carried on to ill-tuned music mingled
with blasphemous oaths At length the tract So

1870 Calvary Chapel was built. During the

COMMENTS on BILL INTRODUCED BY SENATOR
HOBART IN-gHE YEw-JGRsEY LEGISLATURE
The bill introduced by Senator Hobart i'll the
New-Jerscy Legislature, winch provides that stock
holders of railroads which are mOrtgaged may pay
over 10 the mort Gagor their exact proportion OF the
mortgage and thereby gam share of the mortgage
interest, seems likely to stir up considerable oppos
ton on the part of persons holding bonds of New
Jersey railroads. member of The Reorgannqtion
Committee OF the Ncw-Jer>ey Midland Railroad said
last week:
1.-The bill allows stockholders in any road to be-
como part purchasers with the bOnlhoiders who
foreclosc any railroad and provides that they may
have six months in which to elect whether they VIII
become part owners with the bOndh0lders or not.
TIC illustrate: The New-Jersey Midland is beng
foreclosed under the first mortgage, which amounts
to 81, 500 900. The capital stock Of the old New
Jersey Midland amounts TO 81 100000 This
added 10 the amount Of the first mortgage bonds
makes So 600. 900. Should the road sell at fore
closure sale for 50, 100000, the old stockholders
would have the right, according 10 the bill. within
six months after the sale to become purchasers OF
one quarter of it by paying 5000, fhs bill. Il
IL should become a law would be considered by all
holders of bonds IN New-Jersey railroads as certain

The injustice of putting shareholders on the same
footin. with those who hold the securities IS very
npuarent,"

The carving knife, which had been used to cut some
slices of bread, lay on the barrel and as she fell
her shoulder struck the knife blade. The shock OF
her fall caused the blade to pierce her shoulder and
tie wound was thus made. Captain Cherry noticed
that n cup of coffee OH the barrel had not been
spilled, and he regarded Renke's story with sus-
pcion ,,.
Coroner Hermann was sent for and also llstenedto
Renke's story. An examination of Mrs. Relnkcs
body showed that the knife had penetrated to her
