THE STOCK,

The town Of Ottawa, in consideration OF
| $4,000 which the courts say she need not
| pay, holds $4,000 of stock IN the Ottawa
Oswego & f. II. V. Railroad Company Is
that stock worth anythlngg To the town OF
Ottawa nothing, obviously. Having estab
lished the point III the highest court of the
country that she had no right to purchase that
stock, and having therefore never paid for IT.
how can the town claim to own it, or dispose
of it in any way? The stock must revert back
to the company
But suppose the town had paid tor the bonds
IN good faith? When the road was leased TO
the Burlington company tor 90 years the in.
tention probably was to extinguIsh the stock.
The road had been mortgaged for 81 10000.
The Burlington agreed to apply annually 40
per cent of the gross earnings Of the road to
the extlnguishment of that mortgage, prou5tEsd
the holders OF the mortgage shoald on Ger.
tain day in each year apply at sertain place
in Boston and demand the 40 per cent. 9th
terwse the said 40 per cent. was to be merged
in the ordinary revenue of the Burlington
company. Now as the Burlington company
itself was the holder of the mortgage, of course
no demand each year was made upon It tor
said 40 per cent, and no part of the mortgage
therefore was ever paid. But suppose the
stock holders of the o., o. & F. Il. " railroad,
who paid for their stock IN good faith, should
commence suit against the Burlington COM
pany and ask them TO report how much said
40 per cent, for the past 12 years has amount
ed to, and to explain why the said Burlington
company, itself being the sole owner of the
mortgage has not regularly each year applied
mortgage, Is il imagined that any court of
equity in the L. S. would accept as satlstac-
tory their answer that they did not choose and
We're not by the terms Of their lease obliged tO
do so? Few roads in the country have been
more profitable than the Fox River branch
of the G., b. Il q. and 40 per cent of Its gross
earnings have beyond all doubt been sufficient
long before this to pay that mortgage, and
after such payment the stockholders have an
undoubted right to their full share Of the net
earnings of the road
We are not able to state how much of the
stock of the road, paid sor in good faith, is now
in existence. The amount cannot be large
But whatever it is, ouT decided impression is,
that the managers of the Burlington road
would do a sensible thaRg If they would buy
up that stock at a round figure as soon as pos

SHOOTING AT VICTORIA.

AS Queen Victoria was entering her carri-
age last Thursday evening a man in the Wind
sor station yard delberatly fired a pistol at
her. The man was Immediately seized by
several policemen and taken to Windsor po-
lice station. No one was hurt. The man
gave his name as Roderick MacLean. The
Queen drove off to the Castle Immediately
after she was fired at. The miscreant was fol-
lowed to the station by a large crowd of peo-
pie from whom he was rescued with difficulty.
The Queen arrived at Windsor about $50 P.
NJ Since Tuesday she had been in London.
A later London dispatch gives the follow
ing particulars of the occurrence:
There was large crowd of spectators await
ing the Queens arrival at Windsor. The
Queen walked across the platform of the rail-
way station to her carriage, which was wait
ing to take her to the Castle. John Brown,
the Queens footman, had already ascended to
his seat behind the carriage, when man
standing at the entrance to the station yard
among number of spectators pointed a pis-
tol at the carriage and fired. To Judge from
the report the pistol was not heavily loaded.
The Queen, who was probably not aware
what had happened, was Immediately driven
to the Castle, but before she passed the man
had been seized by the superintendent of the
borough police who was standing near by.
He was violently seized by the crowd, and was
only rescued from them when three or four
policemen came to the superintendent's assis-
tance. The pistol was captured by one OF
the crowd. MacLean was taken into High
street and thence conveyed to the police sta
tiOn in cab
On Friday morning MacLean was taken
before the Windsor magistrates on the charge
of shooting at the Queen with intent to muir
der. The prisoner was remanded for week.
Formal evidence was taken concerning the
prisoners arrest and the finding of the bullet.
MacLean closely cross-examined several wit
nesses He did not seem to be impressed with
the seriousness of his position.
Two letters written by the prisoner were
read. In the first, which was written before
the shooting, he said he was compelled to COM
NIT the crime against the ''bloated aristocra-
cy because Of the insuficiency of relief offer
ed him." In the second letter, written after
his arrest, he said that his only object was to
cause public alarm and get his pecuniary
grievances redressed that he did not mean
to hurt the Queen, but only fired at the wheels
of her carriage.
It transpires that MacIean was discharged
from an insane asylum last September.
