THE BOOM OF CENrnADs STOCK
What is Said About IL on the Street
A Bear Movement.

What is Said About Ii on the Street
A Bear Movement.
The reasons for the continued advance
in Central railroad stock are as numer.
Gus and as unsatisfactory as ever. BY
putting together what Is said to be well
authenticated sales SO far reported, there
has been about $500 shares sold, nearly
all OF which, it Is reported, have been sent
North, a small portion, about 800 shares.
to Baltimore, and the remainder
To New York. There is wide
spread impression that the brokers
IN this city, Augusta and Charleston are
manipulating the boom, but II they are,
it appears that they are moving in very
roundabout way. Stock in large blocks,
It appears, is being transferred TO brokers
in New York and paid for by checks on
banks in that city.
There was an attempt Yesterday to force
the market down by Offering several lots
0f 100 shares at a slight reduction from
ruling figures, but the offerings were 80
readily taken that the bear movement
stopped. There appears TO be, however,
with all the strength the stock has dis
PLAYED, an opinion among operators that
IL cannot keep up, as well known bro
ker offered TO deliver 800 shares at 90 by
Oct. or forfeit $500, and no one took him
up.
The situation appears to be beyond the
comprehension OF many OF our most level
headed business men, except on the hypo-
thesis that there Is really movement on
foot to buy up a controlling Interest in the
stock, either In the interest OF some other
railroad or for the purpose of changing
the management.

The Board OF Education.

There was not quorum present last
night at the regular meeting Of the Board
OF Education. Those present waited very
patiently, however, for an hour in hopes
that another member would come, so that
the usual business could be transacted.
Capt. Mercer, the Chairman, read for in
formation the monthly report OF the Treas
nrer. Another member of the board
remarked that the work on the additions
10 the Massie and the Barnard street
school houses had begun, though the rain
bad retarded the work. 1t is very probable
that both buildings will be ready in time
DOR the opening OF the scholastic year.

In the o!den Railroad Days.

sheriff Baker, of West Chester, tells Rcc-
ord reporter this story: AT the time OF the
Harrison campaign, in $50, there were only
four Whig votes polled In Salisbury township
One Of them was my fathers, and the fact Of
his being Whg was somewhat provoking Z
to the managers of the state works-Pennsy /
railroad-then controlled by the Democratic
state government and political machine
that was worked as such for sll II was worth.
The superintendent went 80 far in order to
provoke father "a to make "hag" station of
Parkesburg so that he might not catch any
trade from the passengers as he had been
accustomed TO do wGen the trains stopped
there long enough to give them chance to
buy something to eat or drink. The super
inteudent transferred this advantage to
Downingtown. My father then entered a
and a committee was sent TO Psrkesburg to
inquire into the case. One of the committee
was Simon Cameron aud he undertook to end
the difficulties by telling father that IL the
superintendent had made the same kind OF
charges against him, Mr.. Cameron, that father
had made against the superintendent, he
would lick him. This raised the ire OF father
10 Its top notch, and doubling his fists he
declared that he could thrash any man em
plOyed on the state work between Columbia
and Philadelphia Father being tall and
very powerfully built man, and one whom
no one choose to confront with All Idea OF
thrsshiug him, Mr.. Cameron, loet no time In
