BOSTON VIEW OF THE RELATION

GERMAN PURCHASE OF STOCK
MEANS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
BY THE TWO GREAT COMPET-
ING SYSTEMS
CoMMON SENSE MUST PREVAIL,
Says the United States Investor i'm
Commenting on the Latest Phase
of the Situation,

BOSTON, Feb. 9.-The recent sale
in New York Of Northern Pacific
shares to a syndicate said to be rep
resented by the Deutsche bank, of Ber-
lin, Germany, is widely commented on
more significance than appears
on the surface. The transaction
covers the sale Of 1880 shares of COM
mon and $4,000 shares of preferred
stock at about SIS per share for the
former, and about $50 per share for
the latter, involving a cash transaction
of fully $3,500,00O In addition there
has been a sale of $780, 600 of 4 per
cent prior lien bonds Of the Northern
Pacific, presumably to the same par
ties, although the identity Of the pur-
chasers Of the bonds has not been fully
established.
The large blocks Of stocks Of the
Northern Pacific were sold to J. P.
Morgan & Co., who were the mana
gers of the bankers syndicate who
underworld the Northern Pacific plan
Of reorganization, and the shares in
question were these which accrued to
the syndicate through the failure of
the original holders to pay the assess
ments called for. In fact, a circular
was issued recently to the members Of
the underwriting syndicate calling on
them to take up their pro rata shares,
1880 shares Of preferred, and 25S, 800 Of
common stock, also 81, 500,000 of the new
prior lien As, and $4,1S4,OOO of the new
general lien 3 per cent bonds. The
Of HC
dUces the underwriting syndicate's
holdings Of these bonds to $3,OOO,OOO
The significance of this transaction is
important, and means not only that
the DeutSche bank and it's clients are
to assume a larger interest in the
affairs of the Northern Pacific than
ever, but that the interests abroad in
the two great parallel transcontinental
lines, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern are to be more closely
allied. Local people believe that a con-
siderable portion of the holdings Of
the Berlin syndicate, which purchased
the Northern Pacific securities, is heav,
lily invested in Great Northern There
can be no consolidation of the two
roads, either directly or indirectly, but
there can be a perfect understanding
regarding rates.
So far as the Northern Pacific is con-
cerned, there is indeed need of some
definite arrangement with the Great
Northern, for since the opening. Of the
fiscal year, Sept /, 1896, the road has
lost in gross earnings over ONE and
quarter millions. This, it will be re-
called, is the first fiscal year OF the
company. 1t began Sept. 1, last, and
will end June 80, 1897. The table which
follows shows the gross earnings, op-
Grating expenses and net earnings for
the four months ending Dec. 81, 1896
and 1895:

Reviewing the foregoing figures, it
will be found that in four months
there has been a net falling off OF
about $945,000. No doubt for the FIVE
months ending Jan. 81 it will have
been a round million dollars.
The United States Investor, in re-
viewing this sale, says: There is no
question but under common sense
methods, the great carrying trade of
the Northwest can be conducted prof
itably, but common sense methods
must prevail. The Great Northern
through it's entire history, has shown
itself to possess a large amount of
this needful article, while the Northern
Pacific, byits peculiar methods, has held
itself up to scandal and ridicule ON
both continents. The sensible method
to pursue is for the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern to adopt at once
proper and harmonious methods for
operating the two properties"

Waynssboro True Citizen: We were told
few days since a remarkable story of
some butter. Several years ago a family,
who at the time, were citizens of
Waynesboro, occupied a residence on
Whitaker street They kept COW, and
the old lady made some very fine butter;
and while preparing 1t one day she, in
some way, let a ball. which she had
wrapped in tissue paper fall into the
well. 1t sank TO the bottom and sometime
afterward the family moved away to New
York. Several months afterward another
family moved to the house. and sometime
thereafter concluded to have the well
cleaned out. IN doing 50, the bah of but
ter was drawn up in the original shape,
and when opened, II proved to be just as
fresh and sweet as the day when it slip
ped from the hands of the old lady who
made it about a year before. This story
was related TO us by a well known gentle
man of Waynesboro.
The following is a copy of letter just
received by Mrs Elizabeth Mobiles at the
Bib county jail: Richmond, Va, April
20, 1S97.-Mrs. Elizabeth Mobiles: ! write
to recommend you to apply to the gov
ernor of Georgia for a pardon upon the
plea that you have been condemned TO he
put TO death by body of men who were
not jury of your peers,
according TO the principle of law laid
down by the judges of the
supreme court of the United States In its
Strauder decision. Hoping that your APP
plication to the governor upon this plea
may result in great good to you and to
the people of these United States, ! am,
very truly yours, Sarah Clay Bennett"
In the letter was enclosed a circular that
has been distributed broadcast over the
land. The heading of the circular is:
Shall Women Be Put to Death in the
United States Without a Jury of Their
Peers?" The circular is quite lengthy ana
