JOKE ON A RAILROAD.

Farmers Clever Device for Stopping
tho Trains in Front of His Farm.
t'Train Talk" in the Chicago Herald.
ave made singular discovery the
other day." remarked an official. of a
road running into Chicago. about
three miles beyond a certain station on
our line there is farmhouse by the
side Of the track. Just beyond the
farmhouse is q little creek over which
there is small bridge. About four
years ago some repairs were made to
that little bridge, and, of course, the
bridge gang had put up a sign-board,
Run Slow on either side during the
day or so the bridge was weakened.
When they had finished their work
they went off and forgot the signs.
The fact is, the boards had disappeared,
and they didn't take the trouble to hunt
them up.
Some weeks afterward, no one knows
just when, those signs reappeared in
their former places. Nobody knew
who put them there, or. what for. No.
body cared. IF the section men noticed
them at all they thought the bridge
men had done it. It was none of the
engineers business why they we're there
it was their duty to observe regula-
lions, which require them to slow down
at such signs. Observe regulations
they did. For about four years not
train had passed over that little bridge
without slowing almost to standstill.
The culvert, for that's all it is, has been
as safe as any part of the roadbed,
and yet stopping and starting trains
there has cost this company thousands
of dollars. You know, it costs money
to stop and start trains. You are Won
dering how it all comes about, of course.
Well, that farmer stole those boards
and put them up again at his leisure.
For four years he. has been gong into
the town or coming from it on our trains,
getting on or off right at his own door.
It was slick scheme, and how hemust
have laughed at us and enjoyed it all
the while. But, his game is up now,
and the engineers are having their re-
venge by keeping up an Internal screech-
ing of their Whistles at all hours of the
day and night whenever they pass that
farmh ouse."

In Pickens county, Georgia, a new
source of marble supply for all purpos-
es is about to be opened to the market.
The Industrial World notes the projec-
ted development, by northern capital
lists, of q section of marble deposits in
the above named county, where, it is
claimed, the drillings thus far expose
enough marble to build the principal
cities of the Union. The deposits,
which are found in strata and solid
masses, are reported to embrace almost
every known variety found in America,
and are of the best quality. The mar
BILE works easily, but is somewhat hard
or than Vermont marble. Situated in
section where labor is cheap, and
where the climate permits to be worked
all the year round, this promises to be
an important addition to the thriving
industrial development of Georgia.

The Law of Corporations.

A corporation is an artificial concern,
created by law. and empowered to do
certain specific things.
It is like partnership, and both are
commonly called companies, but they
are really very different.
Each partner in firm is liable for
all the deots of the firm, while stock
holder in most corporations of the pres
emit day, formed under the principle of
limited liability, can only lose what he
puts in.
a member of corporation cannot
make bargain for it, but one partner
can bind his firm.
A corporation can only do Such bust
ness, and make such contracts, as it's
charter allows, while firm can do all
kinds of business.
While corporation may not do bus
mess outside of the limits of its charter,
some discretion is permitted.
Aaglass manufacturing company may
buy glass of another company to sell
again, at profit. A ferry boat COM
pany, having an extra boat, may rent it
to another company. -.
A fire insurance company, however,
cannot go into life insurance, nor can a
railroad COMPANY 60 into, the banking
business, OF run stage line. =
They can make such cantracts only
as are really adapted to the object stat
ed in their charter. y e
When corporation has made CON
tract that it had no right to make; it.
may refuse to fulfill it's part to the agree
ment even when it has received the full
advantage of it.
For example, if q mining company
should hire men to build a railway, it
could refuse to pay for the road after
it was built. The rule oflaw was prob
ably in the mind of the old law writer
! who said that "a corporation hath Meth

Slang has this value, that it shows

HI. Blains's Speech at Terre Hauts, Ind.
