New Orleans councilncu had planned
to have as good time returning the
Liberty bell as Philadelphia eouucimen
enjoyed in conveying it to the EXPOSE

up with MI the fourishes, had made an
appropriation of $1,000 out Of the city

Judge Pardee has spoiled the fun By in

was granted on complaint of Joseph

found of his plucky defense.
The trail of the Indians was found on
Pigeon creek. Stewart has now started
in pursuit, but the proximity to the bor.

they feel blue they buy that way.
C.. GotZian-Well, business has never been

it would probably be still better if the

Yes, cold spell would probably boom

Business with us is 25 per cent better than
last year at this time, but l suppose cold

would stimulate trade among the retailers,
which would in turn affect us favorably.

G. L. Farwell of Farwell, Ozmun & Jack,

pend on the weather. Our business Is
much better than last year, but the weather
has nothing to do with it. A cold SNAP

I'll. Schurmeier of Lindekes, Warner and

been steadily good this year and so have
collections better than last. There

Influence on Business.
The weather, that inconstant yet rather
necessary and much-talked-about thing that
never leaves, is rather warm for this season
of tie year. 1t seems as if autumn. linger-
ing, warns the lap of winter. A look at
the records shows that about the goth of
November of last year the thermometer was
ranging about zero, several degrees below
part Of the time, ard that the
rivers were frozen over completely.
The warm weather, natu ally, has its effects
on the trade of the city. A number who
were in erviewed yesterday said that it was
as rule bad to have it so warm at this sea-
son of the year, though others said that il
did not affect their business. Following are
sample interviews:
George r. Finch-The warm weather is
having bad effect on our business. OF
course. It's this way. You are a farmer.
and it continues warm into December and
past Christmas, and you say to your boy,

Cannot Buy at Present.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Chauncey M.
Depew. president, and the directors of the
New York Central railroad were to-day
served with an order to show cause why
they should not be restrained from buying
the West Shore railroad, or making lease.
or guaranteeing its bonds. Mr.. Depew said
Tonight
of the 500, O0O,0 900 of the New York Central
stock only 49, 800 is represented by the COM
claimants in this action. The rest of the
stockholders at meeting held in Albany on
the 4th inst, voted in favor OF this lease. L
was informed by prominent operator IN
stocks on Saturday that the market was to pc
sold short to-day by virtue of a meeting held
at the Windsor hotel. A copy of the injunc-
ton was shown at the meeting. and it was
known that the papers were not to be served
upon me until one o'clock p. m.
to-day. A curious anomaly of the
situation is that of the S50,O00,OO0
of stock of the West Shore company, S49.-
5O4. 600 have assented to the lease up till to-
night. If this lease shall fail, these interests
will be sent back into hopeless 1nsolVency,and
the creditors of the West Shore to whom it
owes $4,000, OC0, would nearly become bank
rupt if the road stopped running. Tne STOCK
of the New York Central has gone down
S. COG, 900 for the alleged purpose of protec-
ton, so that the insignificant sum represented
by the complainants giving security IN sou
has inflicted these heavy damages. There is
no Injunction against the sale of the west
Shore road, but only against the New York
Central from buying the West Shore. This
does not restrain Mr.. Vanderbilt from pur-
chasing it, should he so elect.
Mr.. Depew's eyes twinkled as he closed
the interview.

New Trans. WISCONSIN, r. Dad.

A gentleman from North Wisconsin says
that the new trans-Wiseonsin railway line,
the Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic, has been
built from the west to point in Price
county within eighteen miles Of junction
with the Wisconsin Central, and there is
no doubt but that the road will, during the
coming season, be completed to the Wis
consin river, crossing of which will be
made at some point in Lincoln county, pro-
badly near Rhinelander. on the Milwaukee.
Lake Shore & Western. The route of the
road will open up beautiful tract OF
country in Northern Central Wisconsin, the
fertility of which is certain to attract set
tiers in search of farms. Along other parts
of the line, especially in Price and adjoin-
ing counties. the road will provide long
waited for outlet for an immense amount of
excellent pine timber. Construction work
will be carried on this season until stopped
by snow
