Tho shUiiaburgcr Live Stock Car Com
pany.

Attention Is invited TO the illustrated adj
ycrtstment OF the shellabarger Lave Stock
Car Company, limited. 1t is Washington
enterprise; It's stock has been subscribed
mainly by the citizens Of Washington, aud
the money paid ou subscriptions has b5en
used IN the construction Of the patented ap.
pliances for live stock cars, and for practical
demonstration of the invention. Several
tests have been made, all Of which have
proved successful, aud are highly com
mendcd by railroad men In the management
Of trunk line railroads that transport
large amount OF stock annually from the
ranches OF the west to the markets Of the
east. The amount saved In quail
lty and weight IN this manner
of transporting beeyes for the shippers cam
not fail to cause the shippers TO give
preference to the roads using an apartment
car. The railroad companies, by using the
Shellabargor patent appliances, save the
expense OF q double equipment, as freight
car can be promptly, transformed into a
cattle apartment car with the Shelllbarger
appliances that will give all the convent
ences and comforts OF other apartment cars,
costing double the money OF an ordinary
box freight car, and so constructed that IL
can only be used for stock cars. The
facts we have stated justify the man
ayers Of the shellabarger Car Company
in representing the stock Of the company os
most desirable investment for capitalists,
a limited amount OF which is now offered
for the purpose OF increasing their cou-
structlon and to arrange with railroad COM
panies to obtain the right to use them by
paying royalty. Their simplicity, econ
omy, and utility have been fully demon
strated. 1t only remains to increase the
compaDy's cash capital sufficiently to place
the invention on the leading roads of the
country. Such action will undoubtedly
make the Shellabarger Live Stock Car Com.
| papy Il great financial success.
This statement is made after examination
by one Of our own reporters, who witnessed
all the details in the transportation Of cattle

Closing Up OF the Ohioes I'm New York
"A Kind Hearted Broker.

ClosinE UP OF the Ofnces IN new fork
"A Kind Hearted Broker.
Nothing Of equally small real Importance
has ever caused more talk In Wall street
than the closing up Of Howell Osborne Sc
Co.'s brokerage offices In Fifth avenue.
These were an uptown branch Of his es-
tablishment in Wall street. No reader OF
the past ten years general news can fail
TO recall Osborne as the blithe young
fellow who courted many actresses,
married one and got freed from her, and is
now the husband OF another. On the
death Of his father-the millionaire, Charles
Osborne-a year ago, the son was left
life income Of $4,000 year, instead OF
being enriched by the property outright.
He boldly resolved not to be content with
In Wall street. Then he composed the
firm Of Howell Osborne & Co., by making
partnership with w. l.. Stow, q shrewd
operator, and Willie Oliver, young fellow
after his own heart. Stow attended to the
down town part OF the business principally,
and for awhile the profits there were heavy,
30 that last spring Stow retired with quar-
ter Of million, not less than quarter of
which was said to have been won within six
months. Howell and Willie continued
The Fifth avenue branch was their hobby.
Big stories have often been told OF stock
gambling done by women, and usually they
were magnifed: but In this place remark
ably pretty feminine gamblers were
numerous, for they were nc
tresses OF the comic opera and
burlesque. The offices, or pariors, cost
five thousand a year for rental alone, and
they were sumptuously furnished, pos
sessing reputation Of being the finest in
town. Not ordinary boys, but liveried
lackeys, attended at the door, the clerks
were beautiful dudes, and every appur-
tenance was exquisite. A feature Of each
days business was an elaborate luncheon,
with champagne. Here bevy OF stage
beauties resorted to try their luck In stocks.
1t is said that Howell gave them
points, and they pocketed the profits
when the ventures turned out that way,
while In most instances he generously made
good all losses. "I'd rather do that than
see the poor girls cry about It," he once ex-
claimed. But that business method was
bad In financial way, and 1t helped mat
ters rapidly along to crisis where the
firm decided to retire from speculation, as
they have now done. Osborne's losses are
stated at 100000 during the recent bull
movement, throughout which he was a
bear.

THE Richmond Wing OF Oct. has this
allusion TO one OF the most intensely inter-
esting murder cases ever tried in the courts
Of any state
The supreme court of appeals at stauuton
yesterday decided not to grant reheariag in
the case OF T. J. Cluverits, now under sentence
OF death for the murder of his cousin, Fannie
Lillian Madison on the 18th day of March,
1885. The case will now be certified back to
the husings court Of this city, and at some
time during the october term Of that court the
Judge will set tho day for his execution. I'm.
less executive clemency intcryenes, which is
not probable, the prisoner will now pay the
penalty Of bis crime at the gallows at such
time as Judge Atkins may determine.
The Atlanta Constitution in an editorial
headed "a Cool Criminal" says:
If ftherc is anything IN circumstantial evil
dence, Cluyerius Is guilty of the murder of his
cousin, Miss Madison. The manner in which
he bears up under his many burdens shows
him 10 be man of strong will power. He is,
moreover, an educated man, aud II is pccu-
liarity Of the educated criminal that he sell
dom confesses his guilt. He hopes On to the
last. 1t is the ignorant criminal who breaks
down and confesses If this man goes 10 the
galiOWs ne VIII ptoDhDly Whinthln MS lnnO-
cepce to the end, and there will be people who
will believe him, There is a prejudice against
circumstantial evidence, and n verdict guilty
based upon 1t never wholly satisfies the pub
lie. Still, there Is no reasonable doubt in this
case.
Assuming that Cluverius was justly con-
victed-of which we have no doubt, al
though 1t must be conceded there was less
of positive testimony than would have
been desirable in so grave case-his exc
cution will remove from life one OF the
most horribly cruel wretches ever known IN
any community.

The Labor Question.
James Freeman Clark.

James Freeman Clark.
The problem of labor is now before
us in this country, and it will not be
settled until it is settled on grounds
Of reason and justice, to which both
parties shall agree. 1t must be set
tied in some way, by arbitration or
otherwise, by which both parties shall
be willing to do justice to each other.
BY the help of machinery one man
can now produce more than so men
without it formerly. But who is to
have the profit of these inventions
Shall labor have the benefit or shall
capital, or shall both? That is the
question to be settled. 1 see only
two modes of settling it. One is by
force and the other Is by justice.
Take away religion, and you take
away that which keeps alive in man
the sense of justice. Take away
Christianity and you remove the
chief bond of unity between men
you destroy the conviction that every
man is child of God, and then when
the question of brotherhood is de-
stroyed the solution of the anarchist
is the only one which remains in the
last analysis.

NOUS" says correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. CT was chat
ting with a well posted hotel man to-
night, who was telling me about the
prices paid by some of the guests.
The Hoffman House, he said, has
guest who pays $l15 a week for his
rooms, or over $16 day-Admiral
Maxse of the English navy. His
services and meals are extra, and
must bring his bills well up to 5000 IA
week for himself alone. John w.
Mackey pays 800 week for rooms
at the Hoffman. When James Nc
Henry, the London railroad man,
was over here on New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio business, he paid
$50 day for a suite of rooms with
private service and table at the Vic
toria Hotel. 1t was the same suite
of rooms that President Cleveland oc-
cupied when he held his famous Vic
toria Hotel conference to get acquain-
ted with the prominent Democrats of
the country. There is Mr.. Dean at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel whose bills
are about $50 day. He is a retired
Californian, and has a family and
servants. He has been there all win
ter. The Winsor frequently has
guests who require service amounting
to $50 or $50 a day. Nine. Barrios,
the widow of the Central American
warrior, was one of the heaviest pay
ing guests New York hotel has ever
known. She stopped at the Lang
ham, where her numerous family
and large retinue of servants brought
her daily expenses up to at least 5000
day.
