capital of $1,000 900, have been filed. The OBJ
ject of the company is to supply steam for

by means of newly invented mechanical appli-
ances.
The demand of the day is for economy and
the adoption of every possible precautioR
against rebates, cuts and violations of agree
ments. The Railway Register says: "How can
a better beginning be made than by abolishing
with all their useless flummery, competition and
complications"

The Now York Central,s Dividend.

The parties who have begun suit to restrain the
New York Central from paying recently declared
dividends allege that the dividend was unearned,
and that the company has not on hand any sum
whatever of it's former earnings not required to
operate the road or pay its debts; that the an
nual report shows that by paying per cent. in
dividends last year it created deficiency of
So 400 1888 49, which still exists, or in other words
that it unlawfully diverted that amount from
uses to which it should have been put and paid
it TO the stockholders that since the end of the
fiscal year it has been engaged in ruinous war of
railroad rates. the result of which has not been to
turn the deficiency of 50 400 1888 43 into surplus
of $1341. 424 80 wherewith to pay the Il per
cent. dividend, and in fact that it has made no
net profits at all since that date.
