vigorous one. My relations with the officers
of this company and the owners Of the stock,

friendly character, said he, but I am OPP

that it not only fastens the depot where il now
stands but it gives the company an oppor-
tunity to buy land all around it and to fortify
themselves SO that it never can possibly here

So great was the influence of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company, and 1 shall
say nothing more in regard to it than to use
that language, that they secured the right of
way, without cost to the corporation, through
six small reservations and through that mall
for their railroad tracks. You can look from
the windows of this Capitol and see that they
poses day by day. The only thing that they
gave to the government of the District or the
government CT the United States was in pro-
vision in that bill requiring them to pay taxes
Tor educational purposes upon their depot on
9Th street.-The depot that they occupy today.
They are paying now for the occupation Of
that mall by their ears and for their right OF

It Pays Large Dividends.

The very favorable returns to investors in the shape of dividends on shares which they hold in the few industrial enterprises launched here during the last year or two coupled with the gradual recovery of con- idence, which was so preceptibly lacking for months past, have tended to give fresh importance to this class of stocks as an in vestment.
 The extremely satisfactory returns in shape of dividends from the choicest of the few industrials enterprises recently brought to public notice is becoming rap idly known, all increasing demand for in vestment in them being particularly notice able.7 One of the best among these is that of H. H. Warner & Co.,, Limited, which, some two years ago, was organized under the company laws of Great Britain. The report of it's business, for the past year, which is just at hand, makes very interest ing reading. After providing for the 6 per cent. interest on its debentures,, divi- dends of per cent. on the preferred stock and I'll per cent. on the common stock have been paid, besides the calling in and cancelling of $306, 900 worth of it's debent- ures, and carrying forward, as undivided profit, over $100, 0,000.

The petitioners on their part agree to abstain from lighting fires on the campus and the disturbances attending such fires and propose to use their infu- ence to further this result.
 The petition was signed by practically the whole class, and it is understood will be favorably received by the faculty at their meeting this morning
 Professors Wright and Beebe, who are always arrayed on the side of 1eniency, are thoroughly in sympathy with the movement.
 The generous action of Mr. Moore has also dons much towards bringing about a reconsideration of the case. The other members of the faculty are understood likewise to be in sympathy with more Ienient course Of action.

A NEW BRIDGE.

Will There be one at the Water Street rOssfng?-Discussion of the Inn. provements on the Court Street Crossing.
 The committee on roads and bridges met in the aldermens chamber last night and
 held a long session of considerable interest.
 The Arlington Electrical Railroad compa- ny's petition, which was advertised to be taken up, was not considered as it had not
 been before the board of aldermen. The following order was read:
 Ordered, That the New Haven and Northamp- ton company it's owners and lessees, erect a bridge over the tracks of said railroad company or owners or lesseeS. where said tracks cross Court street in the city of New Haven. Said bridge to replace wooden structure now there CT sidewalks on each side and adequate to public necessity and convenience to the satisfaction of the board of public works of said city within seven months after the passage of this order. Expressions in the affirmative were made by Chief Hendricks, William R. HubbelI, T. J. Atwater, 0. s. Bushnell, Edward McGowan and others. AS the president of the road had not been notified early enough so as to be present, this hearing | was continued for further hearing at the
 next meeting of the committee. Next taken up was the recommendation from Mayor Sargent that the Consolidated road be compelled to build a bridge at the Water street crossing, inasmuch as said | crossing is now dangerous to life and causes delay to traffic. Chief Hendricks, | Joel A. Sperry, James D. Dewell, Edward | McGowan and many others spoke inits favor, and nearly all advised that the city | incur part of the expense to avoid delays
 and to get bridge suitable to the require ments of the crossing.
 < Edward McGowan said that President Clark had shown great spirit of fairness | and seemed willing to make the improve | ments if the city would meet him half way, 1 and he said it was no more than fair that the city should help in the grading, at least.
 The mayor read decisions of the supreme | court to prove that the railroad company
 was bound to build bridge that should | be satisfactory to the common council. Engineer Hill estimated the cost of the | bridge at SEQ, ,000 and the grading at $10,- | 900, exclusive of damages on account of
 the change of grade.
 The mayor expressed himself as unequiv-
 ocally in favor of compelling the railroad
 to assume the whole cost of the bridge and approaches.
 The board went into executive session, l at which it was decided to hold another
 meeting at the pleasure of the chairman. At this meeting the mayor, President Clark of the Consolidated, the corporation
 counsel and the city engineer will be noti- fled to be present.
