gentleman said that Mr. j. G. Clark, lis
manager, was trump--in three years
time he had put ii in such condition that
the road could hardly be recognized-new
bridges, new trestler.works and new rails
that the time Of running from Cairo to New
Orleans had been reduced from thirty to
twenty-one hours, and that its through traf-
nc Is beginning to show very satisfactory
results, and that the gross earnings of the
road had gone up from $2,S00000 and
something, in yellow.fever time, to $780,
600 the next year, and to over $3,700000,
he believed though he was not quite sure
last year The most searching inquiry
made by the reporter failed to elicit any
exact figures for net earnings. All that
could be obtained from this individual was
that Clarke had spent all the money he had
earned beyond the interest paid on the
early mortgages, but as he had got 10000
tons of steel rails paid for besides a good
deal OF other work, his impression was, he
stated, that there would be something left
for somebody at pretty early day. In re-
gard to the readjustmcnt of the Chca-
go, st. Louis and New Or.
Jeans railroad debt, he said that
the plan was to tempt the holders Of
SG,OOO,OO0 or SS,OO0,OOO of 8 per cent
bonds of dflereNt mortgages upon the old
Jackson railroad and the Mississippi Cen
tral railroad, these two roads having been
united under the present company, to

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL AND EX
TENSIONS.

The movement in the Chicago St. Louis
and New Orleans shares, according to the
New York World, is on account of the do
ings of the directors of the Illinois Central
company. The former IS an extension Of
| the latter from Cairo to New Orleans, $40
miles. In 1877 the Chicago, st. Louis,
and New Orleans was reorganized after
foreclosure sales in that year. OF its $10,-
100000 Of shares the Illinois Central owns
two-thirds, as well as quite one third of its
mortgage Indebtedness. Of its bonded in
debtedness, about one-third is in second
mortgage bonds, coupons on which begin to
be payable this year and are now selling at
par The road has been newly tracked and
everything put in the most complete Or
der for the increasing traffic between New
Orleans and Chicago and northern points.
1t is understood that the financial plans of
the Chicago, st. Louis and New Orleans,
adopted at the meeting of the Illinois Cen
trail board few days ago, will enable the
former to fund its entire debt at a rate
which will enable it to pay the interest
thereon, and also regular dividends on all
its shares. That payment will put the Hi
nois Central shareholders in a condition
like that Of the Harlem shareholders, who
receive 8 per cent. from the horsecars, thus
making the Illinois Central a 0 to 10 per
cent. stock.
The reason gwen by one of the managers
of the Illinois Central for the recent change
OF the policy OF the company is IN few
words. Three or four years ago, said he,
when the New Orleans extension was pur-
chased, there was general stampede in
the shares The panic brought over
committee from the other side who recon-
mendcd small dividends and thorough
improvement. In pursuance of this policy,
the Illinois Central company has purchased
IN 'Irec years between eighty and ninty
thousand tons of steel rails, of which forty
five thousand tons are being laid on the |
New Orleans line, and the balance of the
rails on the road IN Illinois. The extension,
as well as the Illinois road, will be entirely
steel tins summor-in all about thirteen
hundred miles of steel rails. The income
OF the Illinois Central last year seems to
have lett surplus, beyond the interest
and dividends and beyond 100000 spent
on rails ETC., of 100000 or 100000.
Hence, as this gentleman said, as the prop
erty has had 100000 or 100000 spent
upon it within these few years out of the
income, it seemed to be about time to di.

Hour, sugar, etc. etc, with instruction to
deliver them at the residence of Mr.. -.
Mr.. Petit filled the order and sent the
goods to the parties designated, who de-
MED having ordered them, but, neyerthe
less, received them. They afterwards dis.
covered who had perpetrated the joke
upon them, and returned the compliment,
in similar manner, by ordering lot of
groceries to his house, which were also
received Seeing that his game was dis
covered and the joke turned upon
him, victimizer number one call
ed cessation of hostiities, compromised
the matter with victimizer number two
and it was agreed that each purchase his
own goods in the future. A curious Incl.
dent happened to another establishment.

by telephone, which was entered and the
goods put up ready for delivery, when

There are makers who seek to earn and
fix reputation for iirst-class work which
shall be for all time. Among these may be
noted the Mendelssohn Piano Company
manufacturers Of the popular Jubilee Or.
gans which are rapidly becoming known
and which do not fail to hold every inch OF
ground they once occupy.
SO thorough is the inspection of the vari-
Gus parts, and of the whole that when an
instrument goes out Of the house a guaran-
tee for five years--long enough to break
down and wear out two common organs

Is emincnty an organ for the people,

Having had occasion to purchase organs
of tins Company for our own personal
friends, and having found them to be all
that was claimed for them after years, a
thorough trial. and having repeatedly visit
ed their factory in New York city, we are
prepared to assert, from our own knowledge
of the manufacturers and their organs, that
their work is not exceled by any manu-
facturer now inthe market.
In short, the Mendelssohn Piano Com.
panys instruments are emincntly the peo-
Piles organs, and are worthy of the enviable
reputation they so certainly enjoy. We
cordially recommend them to the confidence
and patronage of the public; we advise
them to communicate with the Company,
at its headquarters in New York, and look
over their circular and price list.--The In

The Story Of a Mythical Burglary at
Chicago.

robbery occurred between the hours of !
and o'clock Sunday evening at the Union
Iron and Steel company's work, at the cor.
ner of Thrty-frststreet and Ashland avenue

The police were notified late in the evening,
but did not reveal any of the facts until
an early hour this morning. Chas. Brooks,
an old man who had for some months been
employed at the mill as Waterman. was the
only man about the premises at the time
According to the story which he tells, the
door was broken open by a burly ruflian
who threw him TO the floor, and after having
gagged him, stood guard over him while
two accomplices blew open the safe combi-
nation He claims that noise made by the
explosion was very slight. The burglars
took the money, which WAS done up in
small packages, and succeeded in making
good their escape. The police carefully
examined Brooks and caught him telling
contradictory and improbable stories, and
they finally concluded 10 arrest him. His son
was alsosuspected of completely, and was ar.
rested, but was subsequently released. A
bad character named Paddy Cayanaugh,
was also arrested, and to-day two others,

capture and conviction of the thieves and

Although it may be matter of but
little consequence, custom and common
courtesy demand that, upon severing our
connection with THE BULLETIN we should
at least say few words to its readers.
During the year past it has maintained its
position as the leading journal of Southern
Illinois and has ever sought the greatest
good of the greatest number by
the shortest and most direct road.
But if during all this time
we have made no mistakes it
would be miracle indeed, considering that
the Oldest and most experienced journalists
are liable to err and that one who occupies
even an inferior position on a newspaper is
