For "wilfully and unlRwfully keep
ing and maintaining a common nui-
sance on the fernando road, by not
keeping and maintaining its railway
track in good order and repair, to the
great annoyance, inconvenience and
common nuisance of all good citizens"
is the charge entered in the indict-
ment found against our street railway
company.
All classes of solid securities are
Just now firm, with an upward ten
dency in this market. The dividend
season is only four weeks or so ahead,
therefore few cart to sell the stocks,
bonds, or whatever else of a produc-
tive character they may hold. As an
illustration, Bank of Commerce stock
sold yesterday at $40 to SIP per
share, and others are equally valuable.
A survey of the proposed railway
route from here to Texas has been de-
termined on, and money to defray the
expenses of it is necessary. As chair
man of the recently appointed cham
Der of commerce committee, Judge
j. W. Clapp has appointed the follow
ing gentlemen to raise the needed
sum: W. NJ, harrington, John R.
Goodwin, L. Hanauer, I. H. Milburn
and f, s. Davis.
1t is only a little more than three
weeks to Christmas, and people are
already preparing for the great Christ
mas festival. The prospect, however,
owing to the long season of cold and
wet, is not as propitiOns for u agri-
cultural friends as many could desire.
In fact, the chances are money will be
scarce among our country cousins
unless the weather dries so they "a
save the balance of their unpicked
cotton.

Mr.. Robert McKenna, who was
recently elected a member Of the lower
branch of the state legislature, has
petitioneG the Judge Of the circuit
court to remove the tauBt which
hangs over him for having married his
wife's daughter, Anna Blackstone, in
1874, her mother having died the pre-
vious year. The petitioner says hs
was indicted in July, 1874, and in the
succeeding March he was tried and
found guilty Of incest. A new trial
was applied for, but the governor par
doned him before it was argued; hence
he was discharged by tho court. He
can prove that his reputation for hon
esty, veracity and responsibility has
been good since the verdict, and no
asks to be restored to the rights Of
citizenship. The wife he married last
was a daughter Of his earlier wife by a
previous marriage, and he is in no way
related, by blood, to her.
