The Grand rrnnk

The Boston Journal says: "Since the Grand
Trunk swallowed the Great Western and one
or two other concerns there has been some
curiosity to see how the Grand Trunk would
come ont financially. The annual reports of
both the Grand Trunk and Great Western
Railways were issued from the company's office
In London, Jan. 1, together with sta tements of
accounts to the 18th of August last. The &C.
counts show a balance available for dividend
on the first and second preference stock of
el70,000 or $4,000. After the payment of 5
per cent. on both stocks So 06004 is carried for
ward. The increase Of working expenses of
the road is slightly greater than the increase of
receipts. The Great Western Roads earnings
are insufficient TO meet the dividend of Der
cent on the preference stock, and the deficien-
cy OF S29, l60 is made good out of the items at
the credit on the company's book, in conform
lty with the deed of union. The passenger
traffic shows an increase of 10 per cent, but
this increase is swallowed up by decrease of
20 per cent. in the freight earnings. The work
ing expenses are slightly higher. The frst
ordinary meetins of the proprietors OF the
united company will be held in March, when
the accounts from the date Of union to Deem
Der will be submitted The directors eongratu-
late the proprietors on the benefits which have
already been derived from fusion, and the
marked success attending it, which they re-
gard as the commencement of a new era with
improved prospects,"

THAT FORGED CHECK.
The Forger Tries His Game on Several
Portland Firms.

The PRESS published telegram yesterday
morning. In regard to forged check drawn on
the FaDeuil Hall Bank of Boston, and sent by
Portland bank to the Merchants Bank of
Boston for collection. The check was signed
by Joseph B. Treadwell, and payable to Ar
thur G. Chaplin.
The other day man presented himself at
G A. Harmon's jewelry store, on Congress
street, about noon, and purchased clock, Of
fering in payment check on Bos-
ton bank, payable to A. @. Chapman, and
said II Harmon didn't desire to take the
check to send the clock q. o. D. to him at
Wills Corner, Lewiston. The man handed
Harmon his card, which bore the inscription:
A. c. CHAPMAN g. SON,
GROC CERES AND WARE,
NOTIONS s. GENERAL SUPPLIES,
WILLS CORNER,
a. u on f 1865 Lewiston, Me.
p. O. Boo 70.
Mr.. Harmon declined to cash the check and
didn't send the clock as he could not find any
such place as Wills Corner, in the Maine Reg
lister. The man said he was in hurry, as he
desired to catch the Lewiston train.
The same man then went to A. Evans & Co.'S,
furniture dealers, on Free street. and purchas-
ed a book case for $45, giving in payment the
check for 800, and receiving 500 cash in
change. 1t seems that on Saturday fine
looking lady called at Mr.. Evans, examined
the book case, and soon after a wel-dressed,
stylish young man, about thirty years old,
came In and said he wished to see the book
case his mother had been looking at. He re-
ferred to several of Mr.. Evans customers in
Lewiston, and thus threw that gentleman off
his guard. The young man offered the check,
which had been duly certified, and was ali in
ship-shape condition. Mr.. Evans cashed it as
before stated, and his bank forwarded it TO Bos-
ton for collection. Yesterday it was returned,
protested.
The forger then went to Burbank, Douglass
like check in payment for barrel of goods.
The firm decided not to take the check, as
its endorsement was not exactly in form, but
sent the goods, amounting in value to 1888,
o. D., to Lewiston.
Yesterday Mr.. Evans discovered the goods
were awaiting Chapman's call at the Grand
Trunk station in Lewiston, and ordered tie
held, SO that both Portland firms will save
their goods. There were oJher bundles at the
Lewiston station awaiting Chapman's call. The
Faneuil Hall bank reports several of these
forged checks from Portland.
