FROM OVER TILE RIVER.
a Big Row in Colonel Shepard's
Stage COMPANY.

The stockholders of the Fifth Avenue
Stage Company are Kicking hard because
Elliott r. Shepard and the Board of Di-
rectors have issued q circular to the effect
thar the company is in great need of
money, and calling for an assessment OF
nineJy-five per- cent of the value of the
stock. The circular says that the COM
pany has been spending good deal Of
money on Horses and stages, and on
the building of new and magniii-
cent stable, and is consequently
obliged to call for this money, which
must be paid before January |. The cir
cular claims that Ibis move will bring
the stock of the company from 50, where
il is today, up to las or whereabouts when
the plan has had full time to operate.
Of course the circular is little more than
an expression of Colonel Shepard's
views. He holds about 4, 900 shares out of
the 1880 issued, and has the whip hand
in the board of directors.
"A great many of the stockholders are
enraged by the circular. They claim that
it is scheme of the Colonel's to freeze
out the small holders and get a full con-
troll OF the stock into his own hands.
They are unkind enough to assert that
the Colonel's anti-Sunday stage crusade
has been made for tho purpose Of getting
the company in hole, and not for high
and otherwise holy purposes as he has
pretended
Theysprofess to see prophetic picture
of Colonel Shepherds line as it would be
when he had all the control They see a
board of marionettes with the Colonel
pulling the strings but carefully con-
cealed from the public; and they also see
the stage rolling up Fifth avenue on Sun
days under the coming regime, and the
profits rolling up for Colonel Shepherd ut
the same time
The vision doesn't please them worth a
cent, and they propose to smash 1t II they
can. They have appointed committee,
which is directed to get q look at the COM
pany's books and find ont whether any
such assessments as that which has been
called for is demanded by the conditions;
and, finally, the committee is directed to
endeavor to bring the matter before the
courts and to get a receiver appointed.
Altogether it looks as if a lively row
was all ready to start. The question of
Sunday stages will be discussed as it has
never been before, and a long, cruel probe
will be inserted into the ColonePs bump
of piety to see whether it is inflated with
''airs from heaven" or the vapors of
cupidity from the other place.

stood the village constable. In his hand
was an old and much-battered hoe. 'Liah
saw the hoe and his upper jaw fell. Aunt
Lucy's gaze also was r4vptcd in aG1azement
ON the same article.
"Golath Johnson said the constable,
"you're my prisoner. You stole Mr.. Ben

you couldn't tell this old thing from my new

day, and so found you out. What have you

"Liah Johnsing, why you keep secrets
from yo' welded wife. Why did n you tell

By this time Mr.. Benson saw that there
was something moro in the matter than he
had supposed, and, sending away the con-
stable, he got from the worthy couple, with
much circumlocution, the story of the
nights mistakes. Being man with some
sense of humor, he was quite mollitied by
the Comicalities of the situation, and even
went so far as to take breakfast with the
Johnsons, in response to Aunt Lucy's re-
peated solicitations and in token of restored
good feeling.

Lucy's moral, ''you'd better tink twice

STATE OF TRADE,
Bradstreet's Weekly Review of the Trad
of 10

of the Country.
New York, July 13.-Bradstreeps "Stlte
Of Trade" says: Special kilograms indi-
cate that the volume Of trade throughout
the country, while a little more active in
special localities, does not on the whole
show much increase in volume. The out
look for the autumn business is generally
considered excellent and good crop pros
poets have already had an influence on
the country demand. Lumber proves an
exception in that it is weaker at Western
centers. A satisfactory increase in trade,
accompanying increased firmness in
prices, is reported in the dry goods (com-
mission), building material, furniture and
carpet trades in this city. Breadstuffs
have been irregular, starting with quick
advance early in the week on damage to
the spring wheat crop and higher cables,
and declining on better weather reports,
heavier receipts of new winter, slackening
export request and free speculative sales.
Raw sugars have declined at New York
lie to &C on cable advices of a heavy
speculative decline at London. Holders
are conservative. Expert opinion in
clines to the belief that our
refiners will naturally take advantage of
the reaction abroad to buy sugar and the

in coffee has been more confident and an
advance of fully / cent per pound is a re-
suit. Advices from San Francisco state
that an attempt is being made to bull the
salmon market on estimates Of only half
the expected pack in Alaska. Steel rail
mills are more fully supplied with orders
than for thirty days at S27 so at t! East for
large lots. Structural iron is in urgent
demand and prices are stronger Fall
wear cotton and light weight clothing
woolens are more active and prices are
firm. Raw wool is strong at the interior
and in fair sale at the seaboard on free
arrivals. Raw cotton is at higher at Now
York and Liverpool on good demand and
small stocks. The total number of fail
ures in the United States from January l
to date is 6 255 against ,553 in 1888.

LOT JUMPING AT GUTHRIE.
An Exciting Scene Over the Tearing DowT
Of a RuIllinrr-A AInh Iiehuilds L q.


ofa BuIlding-A Mob Kebuilds 1t.
GUrHRIf, Ok, July ia number of
city marshals and dozen workmen yes
terday afternoon began to tear down
restaurant which was on one of the most
valuable lots IN the city and owned by
Peter II. Hal.,s, an old man.
As the work OF lmoiition proceeded q
large crowd gathered and those who SYM
pathized with the old couple were many.
The actions of Ha mes and his wife mean
while were such as to arouse this feeling
of sympathy TO action and a number of
speeches were made against the marshals.
The latter however, kept the crowd at
bay but in doing this they had some un-
pleasant experiences. While they were
busy with the crowd Mrs. Haines be-
tween her sobs managed to throw pan of
hot water on one of them while tie hus-
band grappled with another.
At this crisis a number of United States
marshals arrived and placed Acklin, one
OF the city marshals, and several OF the
workmen under arrest, charged with con-
spiracy and intimi iatiOn. They gave
bond before United States Commissioner
Elliston to answer TO the charge next
Monday.
After doing this the city marshal once
more proceeded to the lot and in the face
OF all unfrienily crowd finished the tear
ing dc wn Of the restaurant.
Haines and his wife retreated TO tent
on the rear OF the lot which, owing to in
creased turbulence in the crowd, was not
removed.
After the city marshal had finished the
work Of tearing down the restaurant and
had disappeared. the crowd with many
cheers proceeded to put the building up
again. The street was soon blockaded
With several thousand people, and about
a hundred willing hands with hammers
and nails soon had the structure restored,
the counters in and every thing in place.
