Stock.

STEUBENvILLE, Ohio, March 13.-The ar
bitrators' action in the case of Robert
Shepard vs.. the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
cago & ST. Louis railway fixes the value of
his stock in the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi

share, and they award Shepard SlT,24 on
condition that he shall return the company

proposed consolidation of railway COM
panies to withdraw and have the value of
their stock fixed by arbitration.

An Old Orchard Barber has made his
reputation, says an exchange. A GUS
toner came into his shop not long ago
who said he wanted his mustache dyed.
There was luxuriant growth of hair
on his upper lip of which the man was
evidently proud, but it was of de-

The barber had no hair-dye-it isn't as
popular as it was-but he didn't propose
to lose the Job on this account.
lie told the man in assuring tones that
he could accommodate him and set him
down in the chair, and set his assistant at
work while he hurried out after hair dye,
He visited the drug stores, but neither
had the stuff. The prospective halt dol

to him.
Mix mo up some diamond dye" he
said tn the clerk in the last store where
he visited.
The order was obeyed and the enter
prisiug barber hurried back to his shop.
He did good job aud the Gust stomer
walked out of the shop with as handsome
a black mustache as one would desire to
see.
lie had clam chowder for dinner at his
hotel that day, and when he wiped away
one side of his mouth with his nepkin he
