Capital and Increase 1t to 500, 200, 600.
New YORK, July ga special meet
ing of the stockholders of the National
Lead trust has been called for Aug. 27.
At the meeting it will be proposed that
the trust reorganize under New Jersey
laws, the new company to have a capital
of $40, 600 600, of which $15, 000. 900 shall
be accumulative, sever percent. pre-
ferred stock. and the rest common stock
1t will also be proposed that there shall
be $3,000,000 six-per-cent. debenture
bonds, 1851 1854 of them to redeem mort
cages on real estate and $149, ,487 to REIN
burse trustees for cash paid for proper
ties acquired since the organization OF
the trust, the balance to be disposed of
to acquire additional capital for carry
ing on the various businesses so to be
acquired.
The transfer books will close Aug. II
and will reopen on Aug. %. II is pro-
posed to reorganize the National Lead
trust into a corporation.
Reasons for the Change.
Colonel w. P. Thompson, the presi-
dent of the trust, said: 1--WE have sew
lCteOOlAS lOA ufhhAlAb Ia bAlS
first place, our stock has always suffer
ed from the great amount of water in it.
The company is over capitalized, and
that will be done away with. Then the
public temper is adverse to trusts, and
while we have not suffered in that way,
we propose to get into line with the pres
ent sentiment toward corporations. The
new company will easily earn the Z per
cent. to be paid upon the preferred stock.
There will also be earned very nearly 7
per cent. upon the common. The capi-
tai will be increased before reorganiza-
tion to round $50, 900, ,000."
The lead trust, in assuming a New
Jersey charter, is following in the steps
of all the other big trusts which have
been conspicuous in Wall street for sew
eral years. Among the trusts which
have reorganized into corporations under
New Jersey laws are the cotton oil trust,
the sugar trust, the tobacco trust and
the old Oregon Transcontinental. 1t is
thought that the Chicago Gas company
will next follow suit.

MORE CONVCTS
Sent to Work IN the Mines Of
Coal Greek Valley.
Their Arrival a Surprise to the
Miners.

Generally Considered Very InjudiCious,
and May Result In n Serious Outbreak,
as the Miners Would Hardly Agree to
Allow Any TO Work Units the Extra
Session.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 29.--Monday
sixty additional convicts from Tracy
City were taken to Briceville, the scene
of the recent mine troubles.
They will be used in completing the
stockade at that place and put to digging
coal. The arrival of the gang was "a sur
prise to the miners, as they did not I'M
derstand that any convicts outside Of
those in Knoxville were to be taken to
the mines.
Thus far everything has been quiet,
and although there have been no ef-
forts at violence, there is discomfort
seen on every hand. 1t is understood the
contract the Tennessee Coal Mining COM
pany has with the bosses is such that il
will take 200 convicts to do the work in
the Briceville mines.
May Cause Another Outbreak.
additional state prisoners are placed
in that section to the number now there,
the miners and laboring men will not
submit, and from present indications
the outlook for a speedy settlement of
mining troubles in this section IL not
bright.
1t is said here that the miners will
make no resistance to these convicts,
and will abide the action of the proposed
special session of the legislature. Ii may
be stated, however, that the best judges
here say that this action of the coal
company is flahnting n red flag in the
face of the mad bull, and that the action
is but putting the match to the fuse
which is liable to cause the explosion of
the whole barrel of dynamite at any
moment. The public need not be sur
prised to hear the explosion at any time

JACKSON AND CLAY.
Two Noted Portraits on Exhibition
in this City.

Two Noted Portraits on Exhibition
in this City.
There are now on exhibition at
Hawkins, 1914 Canal street, two not
ed portraits-one of Gen. Andrew
Jackson and the other Henry Clay.
The portrait of Jackson is what is
known as "The Hermitage Portrait"
and was painted by R e w. Earle,
Jackson's intimate personal friend
and companion. The artist was a
member of the Generals household,
and died at the Hermitage Sept. Is,
1887. He is buried by the side of the
President with the f flowing inscrip-
ton on his tomb in the garden: ''In
memory r f. w. Earl Artist, Friend
and Companion OF Gen. Jackson"
This portrait was given by the Pre-
sident to the wife of Gen. Waddy
Thompson, of Greenville, b. G. Be-
fore the war Mr.. Hawkins, while on
q business visit to Gen. Thomp-
son at Greenville intimated that he
would like to purchase this por raft
and also one of Clay, but Gen Thomp-
son replied that they were special
gifts and would not be parted with
during his lifetime.
1t was possible, he added, that af-
ter his death Mrs. Thompson might
be compelled to part with them.
In 1884 Mr.. Hawkins again visited
the Thompson homestead at Green
Vile, only to find that the widow
had gone to reside In Florida. Learn
ing that the portraits were still In
existence, he began negotiations for
their purchase which, in the end,
were successful. Upon the frame of
Gen. Jackson's portrait is inscribed
upon his sword: "Draw me not with
out cause; sheath me not without
honor" The portrait of Clay was
painted by George Cooke, and Is .
fine likeness of the famous Ken
tuckian. 1t was presented to Gen.
Waddy Thomson by Col. William Z.
Preston, OF South Carolina, at tho
time that Gen. Thompson had just
returned from Mexico, after q stormy
interview with Gen. Santa Anna. At
the presen tation ceremony were Mrs.
Thompson and Col. Pierce Butler,
the commander later of the First
Carolina Palmetto Regiment In Mex
leo, who was mortally wounded at the
battle of Cherubusco while CALAMITY
leading a charge, and others.
The Authorization of these por-
trait was made in open court before
the Hon Columbus n Smith, of the
Duval (Fla.l County Court, by Mrs.
(General) Waddy Thompson under
affidavit and seal of the court and the
personal attestation Of the judge.
