A NOVEL SCHEME.

Illinois Central employees are afford
ed safe way of investing small saw
inss, with an opportunity of participant
ing in the prosperity of Their road, by
buying stock of the company on the
installment plan inaugurated by Presi-
dent Fish. On the first of each month
the price of shares at the New York
Stock Exchange is telegraphed to Chi
cago, and the paymaster is authorized
to sell one share to each employee at
that price. Payment is accepted in
sums of S., or any multiple thereof
Interest at per cent per annum is al
lowed on the partial payments, and,
when an employee leaves the service he
must either pay in full for his share
and receive a certificate therefor, or
take his money, with interest added.
The number of officers and employees,
other than directors of the corporation,
registered on the books OF the COM
pany as stockholders is now 705, and
their holdings amount to 1854 shares,
worth at the present price about S29i,-
O00 When the plan was undertaken
Illinois Central stock was considerably
below par. AS it is now quoted at lis
some OF the purchasing employees have
added materially 10 their principal,
while all have had good interest on a
safe and convertible investment.

The new schedule on the Wheeling
& Lake Erie will likely go into effect
about the 25th of this month. The
company on this occasion intend max
ing a great many changes and propose
to better their train service. The
schedule as is now in effect will be so
changed that one hour and half will
be cut off of trains between Wheeling
and Toledo and one hour between
Wheeling and Cleveland. The road as
it now stands has the fastest service
between the last two named cities, but
with one hour off will be better than
ever. When line can do wonders
like this it is no wonder that the Off
Gals of the road come in for SO much
praise. The Wheeling & Lake Erie
ever since it passed in and out OF the
receivers hands has been bettered and
now stands better than any line under
similar circumstances. The officials
are of but one opinion, and that is they
want to give the public every thing
possible that a railroad can The COM
pany will also arrange this new time
table SO that next February when the
buffet cars are added, no change will
be necessary. There will be some lit
tie change in local trains, but all this
will be given the public later.

"a QUESTION or LAW


Dfdn't Save Two Hucksters In Police Court,
Yesterday Morning.
Nearly an hour and half Of ye6ter-
day mornings session OF the Police
Court was taken up with the evidence
and arguments in the cases of w. f..
Bentley and H. B. Foreman. charged
by the city with peddling without a
license. The defense was represented
by w. v. Campbell, of Bridgeport, and
NJ. F. Dryden, while City Solicitor F.
w NesbiIt appeared for the city. The
city imposes tax of SIS on hawkers
and peddlers using a wagon, and the
contention Of the municipality was
that defendants came under this head,
proposition which was denied, as
defendants claimed to deliver goods 10
grocers, ETC., upon previous arrange
menrs and understanding. The city
replied to this with the assertion that
such an understanding was not in the
nature OF a contract, and after a
lengthy appeal to the State statutes BY
both sides His Honor fixed the fine at
fifteen dollars and costs, and both de-
PENDANTS took an appeal. A somewhat
similar case was dismissed in the Grim
lnal Court Thursday. but since that
proceeding was brought the city ordi-
nance has been changed in some par
ticulars. without, however, according TO
the views officials OF the City Hall. at
fecting the aspects OF yesterdays case
or the rights of the city.

lures were rejected and the ENJOYS
were Informed that the only thing the
United States would recognize was
white flag aud the grounding of arms.
He also Informed the ENJOYS that such
on the part of the insur-
gents should come quickly in order to
avoid The consequences of active war
as the United States did not intend to
permit any delay in the matter. The |
course Of Otis Is approved by the war
