big interest and every body gets share of
it.

Action of the Meeting of the Louisville
and Nashville Directors.
New YORK, Jan. 9.-The Louisville and
Nashville railroad directors met to-day to
receive the report of the committee ap-
pointed last Friday to consider the me-
mortal from the London stockholders. The
memorial proposed that the two ensuing
years be applied to improvements, and ex-
tensions of the property, and that stock
dividends for the amount so used
be paid on the present capital stock. By
the report of the committee appointed to
consider this memorial it appears that of
siXty-three names affixed to the document
eighteen represent one quarter of the entire
capital stock. The report states that it is
undoubtedly true that considerable
amount of the earnings have been
applied to betterments and improve
ments, and the stockholders are en-
titled to some compensation on this
account. The statement of the company
for the six months ending Dec. 81, 1887, is
as follows December being estimated) {:
