vor the Morgan bill which is now pending,
because it is not based upon business
proposition.
''Mr. Geary." asked Captain Merry, ''are
you not the author OF the bill now before
Congress known as the Geary bill?"
Mr.. Geary modestly admitted that he
was, but added That he was not putting
his name TO any more bills. This raised
laugh, and Captain Merry took occasion to
add that he was in full sympathy with the
Geary bill, as il was known.
Congressman Eugene f. Loud spoke
briefly upon the subject under discussion.
tie was heartily in favor of the canal
proposition and believed that the people
were generally. The commercial welfare
of the city would be benefited by tile
canal. In the construction of the canal,
though, the proper safeguards should be
piaced around it, so that this coast would
reap the benefit. He would not favor any
proposition which did not give the people
the right to control the tolls which will be
collected. There could then be no high
handed monopoly Of rates.
Congressman-elect Barham, swho swill
succeed Mr.. Geary, also spoke in favor of
an early completion of the canal. He
favored Government own erShip of it. He
did not think there should be any subsidy
to private CORPORATION or to side issues,
such as construction companies. Let the
Government build the canal and own it.
He would vote in Congress for any dill
which includes Government ownership
without side issues"
MIR. Manson then spoke at some length
upon the proposition of his resolution. He
said that during the past few years he had
given much thought to the canal project
and had come TO the conclusion that il the
Government was going to aid private
corporation in the scheme the people of the
coast would derive little benefit from it.

MAY LOSE HER STOCK.
Mrs. c. Larrabee Assessed Out of
All Her Means

All Her Means.
Suit has been filed in the Superior Court by
Mrs. Q. Larrabee against De Witt c. Gray. j.
l. Harris and the Del Rio Rey Raisn and Fig
Company, to set aside pretended sale OF stock
in HE company.
Mrs. Larrabee complains that the defendant,
Gray,and his wife. were intimate friends of hers,
ana one day Gray came TO her and said he was
secretary OF the Del Rio Company and possessed
1000 shares of the capital stock. Mrs. LARA
bee had $4,000 as Gray knew and he Der-
suaded her TO buy thirty-eighJ shares at S35 a
snare, OF the company's stock. and TO pay uD
the assessments as they cam along. He repre-
scented that by this means at the end nf three
years Mrs. Lara bee would find herself mistress
OF an income OF $75 10 $50 month for the
rest of her life.
Mrs. Larrabee took the shares, and paid as
sessments upon them amounting TO $3.50 prior
TO Jun l. 1891, when her means were Px-
hauSled. Gray then paid for her Ten additional
assessments, and made her give him promssory
notes for the money as well as assign all her
interest in the STOCK over to him. II was I'M
derstOod that the notes were TO be paid from
tile earnings OF the stock.
Ii is now charged that Gray conspired with
the other defendants and issued a new certIn-
Gale for his stock, and manipulated matters in
such way that when be got the stock in his
own name he sold IL to tile defendant Harris
Mrs Lara bee now brings suit TO set aside this
sale as pretended and fraudulent. and To enioin
the directors of the Del Rio Rey Company from
doing anything with the stock which rightiully
belongs 20 her.
