Several years ago a telephone company
was organized with a capital of $50 ono !
QUO. There may have been a few more
ciphers in the capital. The organizers
were very liberal in the matter of CAPT

between having the capital $50 and $50

scudder Too Previous a. Usual.

In his usual indiscreet fashion, the Rev.
o L. Scudder came out yesterday with
a blatant endorsement of the '.Journal's''
attack upon the present Grand Jury. He
says
There is certainly an amazing condition
OF affairs in this city. It is stated, etc.
The amazing condition of affairs is that
mere statements should be made and that
a clergyman should be found to endorse
them without ascertaining what founda-
ton there may be for them.
The truth is the Journals" charges
against the Grand Jury are a malicious
fake. 1t is generally believed that they
are a feature of a politico-aquatic con-
spiracy to discount any action that the
Grand Jury may take apropos of a GER
tain contract which is occupying much Of
the public attention, just now
What does Mr.. scudder think of that?
