stock Of 200 francs per share, TO which is at
tached its tenth part of founders share
will thus have received ~ francs "a centimes,
or nerly Q per cent on its par value.
On thi preliminary estimate of receipts
the calculation has been based on an actual
traffic in four years of 2250 tons, In 1888
there were transported up country thirty-six
tons Of merchandise; in 1856 the actual
traffic was 800 tons; IN 1887 IL was 500
tons.
A second hypothesis is two trains con-
stautly on the line under the same condi-
tions of paying freight as in the preceding
estimate and with 500 passengers instead of
300, would allow 20 per cent reduction for
up country freight aud of 2j per cent reduc
tiou of down country freight, and a
reduction of 100 francs in the
passenger rates; and this would
give the following as the
result of the years operation OF the line:
First. Up country,25 multiplied by $50 equals
1900 tons, at 500 francs per ton, 10000 600
francs. Second, Down country, 40 multiplied
by $50 equals 1900 tons, at 100 francs per
ton, 1,oSo0o0 francs Third, 500 passengers
at 400 francs apiece, 100000 francs
Cost of working the line, fixed expenses
100000 francs; variable expenses, 900
francs; total, 1,4OO, 900 francs. Net receipts,
$780, 900 francs; deduct 8 per cent for re
serve, $4,000 francs; balance, 100000
francs, or, in round numbers, 100000 francs
available for distribution to the preferred
and common stockholders, of which 1,45000o
will be applied to paying the guaranteed in
terest on the preferred and common capital
This would give first dividend Of 35 francs
for each share of common stock, in addition
| to which its holders would receive
| from the balance of l,S5000o francs remain
| ing, a second dividend of 80 francs S3 CEN
| times, and for the tenth part of a share 10
| francs Al centimes, or more that l6 per cent
on the paid up capital. Common stock,
which may nave been purchased without the
| tenth part of founders share, would re-
| ceive in the first hypothesis as interest per
| cent, and in the second hypothesis 10 per
| cent on the paid up capital it represents.

LABoUCHERE ON SULLIVAN.
He Refers in Truth to the Attitude of
the Times.

LONDON, June 19.--[Special Cablegram to
THE BEE. MIR. Labouchere, writing in
Truth about the charges against Alexander
Sullivan, says that everything that the
Times (Which has an agent and a banking
account in Chicago) can do to prejudice the
public against Mr. Sullivan will be effect
lively done, first, because Mr.. Sullivan ad.
vised Patrick Egan respecting the informa-
tion sent to England regarding the Parnell
forgeres; and second, because he selected
Father Dornay to convey across the ocean
the documents which smashed the Times
case.
Mr.. Labouchere says the assertion tina
Mr.. Sullivan misapplied funds entrusted to
HIM is known to be absolutely untrue He
thinks 1t probable that these charges have
been brought against Mr.. Sullivan in order
to compel the production of the books of the
American league, just as the forgeries were
published in order to obtain an inquiry into
the Irish leagues finances.

er's hands, and as the lot is now worth
$4,000, the church demands the surplus
The Salt Lake theater was also ostenslbly
purchased for $4,000, to keep it out
of the receivers hands and was
almost Immediately sold for $4,000
to the Home Insurance company. The
church has demanded a rebate of $4,000 on
this, and part Of it has been paid in answer
to the demand.
Another deal involving $65, 600 has also
been unearthed, with a request to turn over
the cash. The greatest interest is manifested
by the entire community as to the outcome
of the church's demands.
