Since January 1, 1886, nearly S4s,-
o0o,00 of bonds have been "listed'
by the New York Stock Exchange,
comprising the securities OF many
roads distributed all over the coun-
try. Even allowing for the considera.
BILE amounts which represent renewals

still a large one, and recent events in
connection with the granger railroad

Within a short time the st. Paul Com.

Cltv is growing aim

Washington City is growing almost
as rapidly as any commercial city in
the country. 1t is now decided to ex-
tend its corporate limits very greatly
on the north, to take in a populous
suburb which requires the presence of
street improvements and police pro-
lection. The strictly business in
crease, however, does not keep pace
with the increase of population. The
numerous attractions of the national
capital claim large number of peo-
pie and will continue to do so.

several times ordered the man from his
door, but without effect, Judge Mallory,
in passing sentence said: The boycotting
CT Mr.. Fienhold was an outrage, though
the defendant and others had been urged
on bydemagogues. Such interferences with
q mans business were unlawful. The judge
was surprised that citizens had stood this
sort OF persecution as long as they had.
Boycotting was nothing less than mob
law The fine imposed was the extreme
penalty under the disorderly conduct
ordinance.
