Progressive Farmer, Mt. Vernon. III.

Progressive Farmer, Mt. Vernon, ILL.,
Quarrels between corporations
often give the people important facts
that they could not otherwise OBJ
tain. The Ohio & Mississippi rail-
road company and the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad company, though close
allies, have been having squabble
of some kind. A fight among the
o. & N. directors themselves has
grown out of this squabble, and out
of the fight leaks the following par
agraph of important information:
These, eight directors, holding
400 shares, which, taken at the mar
ket price of "a los per share, rep
resent an Investment of only 93, 200,
yet with this small holding they
attempt to disfranchisc English
stock of the aggregate nominal
value Of SIG, 500, 900.
Do you see the point to that!
Sixteen and half millions of the
stock of the 0. & NJ. railroad are
owned in England! This informa-
tion, as has been said, accidentally
leaked out as the result Of q quar-
rel. How much of the stock of
other corporations is owned in Eng
land? We would be glad for con-
gress to institute an inquiry to de-
termins the amount of British
capital invested in the United
States. Some eye-opening facts
would be revealed, and many things
connected with politics that seem
misty now would be made plain.

BOWDOiN FOUGHT HARD.
Intellectual Attempt TO Tic Bates for Maine
College Ghampiynship.

IENrsroS. june 4.--Bowdoin College
sent delegation of nearly 100 students up
to the ball game today determined to win
the game from Bates or die trying, for if
hey won they stood chance of tying
Bates for the Maine college championship,
but if they lost Bates had it,
They fought hard, but they died in the
end. The game was one of the most excit-
ing ever played in Lewiston. Both sides
played for all three was in them and the
students kept up perfect pandemonium
with shouts, tin horns. watchmen's rattles
and the like.
Bowdoin protested the game because Of a
decision of Umpire Kelly in the last inning
Fairbanks got scratch bunt, stole sec
ond and third. and scored on Downs single.
With Downs on first Hutchinson hit a
sharp liner to Hoffman. He dropped it.
picked the bali up, touched second and re-
turned the ball to first before either Hutch
inson or Downs. who turned back, reached
the base.
The umpire called both men out and on
Bowdoin protesting said il could not be de-
cided otherwise,
If the hall was dropped purposcly then
il was the same as fly caught. If the ball
was not dropped purposely then Downs was
forced at second and Hutchinson was fieIded
out at first. Putnam's fielding and home
run and Williams pitching were the feat
ures. The score:
