To-n.ghts meeting of the stockholders
of the Island Ferry and Packet Com
pany will. in all probability, definitely
decide whether the corporation is to
continue TO drag out miserable exist
ence, or whether its long agony will be
summarily ended and the corpse given
decent interment
The affairs Of the Company have been
rather prominently before the public
for a good while back, and the situation
is pretty well understood by everyone
having any interest whatever IN the
matter. The crisis, as ascerta:ned az
the meeting held last week, was brought
about by the refusal Of a large number
of subscribers to the relief fund" to
pay over the sums of their subscrip
tiOns until they had some sort Of assur-
ance that the endOrsers Of the thirty
notes for one hundred dollars each would
not seize upon the boat and other tan
gible assets Of the Company after the
over-check and floating debt had been
provided for, and once more swamp the
Company. This lack Of confidence nat
urally led to trouble, two or three OF
the endorsers, speaking, it was presum-
ed, for the others, warmly resenting the
idea advanced. To-nights meeting is
designed to be general meeting of all
the stockholders in the Company, and
no doubt there will be a large attend
ance, and the fate Of the venture to
provide a reasonably cheap means OF
crossing the river upon the cooperative
plan will be definitely settled.
If there can be found a means Of
again uniting the people Of the Island
who have been active IN the ferry mat
ter, the effort to better the financial
standing Of the Company will proceed,
and at tomorrow afternoons meeting
of the ladies the arrangements to give
a big series Of suppers in aid of the
enterprise VIII be perfected. If the
effort by the men falls to the ground,
after having been carried so near to
success, as matter Of course it Will
carry the enterprise of the ladies' with
it, and the whole thing will go to smash.
Several offers to purchase the ferry
boat, at fair prices, have been made Of
late, and if the worst comes to the
worst, the Directors will probably be
authorized to dispose Of the property to
the best advantage and wind up the
affairs OF the Company.

ity with the English people
A recent writer in the London Figaro,
speaking Of the probable beTothal OF
one Of the daughters of the Prince Of
Wales TO a grandson Of the King Of
Denmark, says:
Princess Victoria, by disposition and
inclination is far more suited to be the
consort of a future lader, but she has
neither the beauty nor charm of Princess
Maud who, as Miss Mills" has, when
paying private visits to intimate friends,
broken the hearts Of scores OF suscepti-
BILE youths. Harry as the royal fam
lily call Princess Maud, is a most fasci-
mating girl, gifted with many talents,
a strong VIII and an affectionate dis
position. She is very clever with her
fingers-after a boyish fashion-and her
favorite pastime is stuling and mount
ing birds and small animals, wood cary
ing and the working of iron and copper.
She rides. drives and skates, but con-
trary to general belief, does not shoot -
