to render the stock of the company of imme-
diate and permanent value, so that the board
can commence placing the superstructure the
coming spring or early in the summer The
board is of the opinion that this road will
prove financial success within very short
period of its completion. No railroad east of
the Alleghenies, of the same length and adj
vantageously situated for business, has cost
anything like the small sum that will in all
probability cover the cost of this road with
all its appurtenances; and from all that can
be judged of its future, judging from other
roads, the conclusion is inevitable that, with
honest and intelligent management it will
promptly pay the interest on the entire sum
necessary to be borrowed to put it in readi-
ness in all respects for traffic, and with fair
prospects of paying dividends within very
brief period of its completion.

Total Liabilities. Observation-Disclosures.

The report then recites that ii has been
the past policy of the board to give financial
character to the enterprise by developing To-
cal aid in the way of stock subscriptions and
free grants of rights to remove any elements
that might become inimical or retard its de-
vclopment; by purchase or otherwise of the
road beds and foundations of other projected
railroads. to adhere to the plan of building
the road as purely local one; to apply the
stock subscriptions, or so much as may be
necessary, to the grading and masonry of the
whole road treating the road as an entirety,
and not placing in real OF apparent jeopardy
| the completion of the entire road by pre-
mature concentration of the funds and credit
of the company on any one part of il. 1t is
| thought that sufficient funds will be obtained
from present stock subscriptions to meet the
entire cost of grading and masonry, right OF
way and engineering, and all incidental ex-
penscs of the management until the road is
ready for superstructure, and should out
standing subscriptions be paid with reasona-
BILE promptness, the entire road can be put in
readiness for superstructure by July list, 1880
with all the rights of way secured, and the
corporation freed from debt of every descrip.
ton.
AS to the future policy, it is believed by the
board that were from $4,000 to $75, 600 add.
ed to the present available stock subscrip
tions, the sum then necessary to complete
and equip the road could be readily raised al
satisfactory rates, upon pledge of the road
and franchises of the company. The board
therefore, urges upon stockholders the pro
priety of 50 increasing their subscriptions rs

And ride to the Arctic pole. -TfaM

ABOUT DECORATION DAY.

The ornaments which graced the Confederate
and Washington Artillery monuments were
permitted to remain for the pious admiration
oil VISITORS as had been suggested by the DEMO-
Graf. and many went on Tuesday to pay their
respects 10 the commemorative mausoleums.
Yesterday. however. was 30 inelement that the
cities of the dead remained deserted. and only
the patterinR rain and gusty wind broke the
silence OF the quiet graves.
Concerning the proceedings on memorial
day. It appears that 1t WAS Lieut. Adam. and
mot Lieut. Miller, who presented the floral Of
feripg OF the Washing'ou Artillery Tor the Con-

AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Matter Involving License Cues.


Yesterday an interesting case went through
Its preliminary stages In the Second Recorders
Court. It was that of A. Mannessier. the well
known ice-oream vendor. who. in company
with many others. was arrested last week for
vending. The point was, that while all the. par.
ties concerned had paid license for their
carts. they had not paid a ltcenee for vendin
their articles. and he city held that the sub1e-
ouent license was essential In accordance with
an ordinances already familiar.
The arrested parties were parolied. and In
order to make test case Of this phase of the
license question. the trial Of Mannessier was
fixed E yesterday. The city was represented
by Mr. Sam. 2. Bianc.who argued upon the case
at length.
The court said i was very important case
and one In which the whole community was In
terested The ordinance. however. was very
plain and positive. and the court could not dis
regard It, The question was whether the city
had right to impos such tax but this was q
SUBJECT for determination properly by the 5u-
preme Court.
The court suggested that In order to bring
this matter to a final determination. 1t might be
well to fine the prisoner IL the counsel would
agree.
The counsel did not agree. however. and In
the meantime the Judge paroled the prisoner
and took the case under advisement.
