a reviow of the relations Of the two companies may
help to elucidate the situation The North River
Construction Company, with full-paid capital OF
SO 600, 900 In cash was formed to construct the
North Shore Railroad; it made q contract to per-
form the work and deliver the road completed 70
the railroad company for certain stipulated consid-
eratIOns, and t supposed that the Construction
Company would realize q profit Of from $1,000, 900
to 81 900 900 the contract In pucsu ance OF the
contract the railroad company has paid the u stpu

about seventy eghtmiles more Of second track TO bo
laid there are other nshln touches 10 be done that
NAV cost an additional $5,OOO,OOO. The Construc-
ion Company, however, has expended the proceeds
OF .$i0,000000 bonds (which realized probably
$4,000 O00) its own capital Of 81 l0O0O,000, and
has created debt Of 50, 10000 to - 10000
so the road has cost in actual cash between $685.
100000 and $50 .O00,0 900 upon which the per
cent bonds are first lien. It was reported, now
ever that the railroad company was liable for tho
debts of the Construction Company; this DDbably
Is not So beyond such sums as may remain IN tho
shape of builders lien where the contractors have
not accepted the obligations Of the Construction
Company; and that sum is estimated 10 he less than
T3,OOOOOO; but even such claims are not admitted
The assets of the Construction Company, so far as
known, consist of about 90 900 of West shore
tock.
The general market for railway bonds was dull. but
the tendency OF all speculative kinds was toward
lower figures and transactions in other kinds were
insignificant; the Erie second consols dec ined from
92 to S9l2G80ls
The official report of the railway shipments OF
-four, grain and provisions eastward from Chicago
during last week shows a movement that was
9244 tons greater than for the preceding week bat
that was -, s,l26 tons smaller than for the
corresponding week of 1888 and 1850 tons
smaller than for the week of SS2. Compared with
the week of SS3, the movement of flour is 4.O34
tons less of grain 20, ,567 tons less, and Of provi-
siOns 1857 tons less.

yet number largely in excess of the weeks of pre-

competition with that Of American production in

something near to a panic in wheat at Chicago

RAILWAY MATTERS.
BOSTON and tne xye., sIore


Some Of the Boston and New York papers
have been advocating the purchase Of the
West Shore by Boston capitalists. Noticing
this fact, and stating that the New York Gem
trail and the Grand Trunk both want the prop
erty, the New York Stakeholder goes on to say
that with Boston bidding against the New
York Central and the Grand Trunk, the price
of West Shore would naturally advance. The
assumption is that the road could be controlled
through a purchase of the bonds. In this
there might be slight error committed, A
foreclosure sale under the mortgage would
give the road to the highest bidder, and when
there are SO many parties to whom the road is
desirable the price bid might exceed the
amount of the bonded debt. Boston is too
late in coming to the conclusion that the own
ership of the road would be a good thing for
that city. The contest for the future control
of the road lies between the New York Gem
trail, the Grand Trunk and the Stockholders of
West Shore. 1t is not impossible that tn a lat.
ter parties may yet arrange to provide tor the
overdue interest, and thus save to themsalves
the control OF the property and such value in
the STOCK as would attach thereto, TT is not
certain that the stockholders have decided to
relinqulsn their hold upon the road without a
turtner effort. The road, with fair treatment
by its competitors and under an efficient man
agement. is capable of earning more than its
present fixed charges, and the time will come
when its operations will be less disturbed than
at present. ITS fixed! charges now, exclusive
of terminus, are only $780, 600, against doub-
le that amount for its closest competitors. The
New York, Lackawanna and Western. with
only 207 miles of road and annual charges of
81 ,220 900, has been a success from its opening
and the value of this road and franchise Is
West Shore will be sold in fore closure ia still 4
matter of doubt. II Boston wants the road il
may have to treat with the large stock hold.

A Terrible Experience.

The wife of DR.. Coleman, of Deering, had a
terrible experience during last Fridays Storm.
She was visiting at Mr.. George Libby's on Di.
amond Island, and had walked out into the
woods with two little children. When the
storm came on she lost her way and took shell
ter behind tree, when another tree near at
hand came crashing down. The beating rain,
the loud thunder and vivid lightning con.
spired to confuse and bewilder her. She al
last found her way to Diamond Cove and took
shelter in tent, occupied by some gentlemen,
one of whom undertook to pilot her to the
house, but he lost the way, and the party re-
turned to the tent. When at last they reached
shelter the lady and the children were in q
thoroughly drenched condition, and in need of
the hospitable hands which came to their re-
lief.
