Southern Railway was one of the in
teresting stocks of the day. The street
heard early in the session that the South
ern and Louisville and Nashville had come
10 some kind of an agreement for the pur-
chase of the railroad properties of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. his
was in itself a bull argument for South
ern, but, more than this, ii indicated that
the relations between the two railroads
are harmonious, which is a most impor-
tant matter. Further particulars of the
agreement will be learned today, prob,
ably, which may have a further bullish
influence on Southern as well an on Louis
vile and Tennessee Coal and Iron. The
street is inclined to believe that all three
of these stocks are a purchase, but es-
pecially the two railroads. Southern from
high opening yesterday advanced to
81 Ia, the highest price of the year and
the highest in recent years. The stock
declined somewhat in the afternoon, but
closed at SO 12, with a good net gain.
Louisville and Nashville was strong around
he top prices of Wednesday, but made
no new gains.

There was a feeling in the street yester-
day favorable to Pacific Mail for an imme
diate rise. One of the arguments made was
that the retirement of Speaker Reed from
the House makes much nearer the passage
of the Subsidy bill at the next session,
which is not bad theory from a senti-
mental standpoint. But there is good r "a
son TO believe that pool has begun opera

The action of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and Manhattan on the break yesterday was
considered excellent by people who have
been correct in their judgment and infor-
nation regarding these stocks recently
Brooklyn went down 10 130 in the after
noon and was there bought in large blocks
by insiders. There was recovery of 1-2
points in the last few minutes of the day.
This policy of quietly buying the stock on
all breaks and not allowing it TO go much
below this level has been pursued con-
slstently by the insiders for several days.
and the best information is that the price
will be advanced now. The same is true Of
Manhattan.

There are advices TO buy Burlington i'm
mediately, which seem to have excellent
foundation in the prospects of the stock.
The item of news yesterday regarding II
was that the rights" in connection with
the new refunding scheme of the company
entitle the holder of sixty shares of the
stock to purchase a $1,000 bond for 1900
and receive bonus of two and a half
shares of stock. There is some difference
of opinion as TO tie value of this right. but
the best idea is that it will be worth at
least per cent. The bond is TO be a 1-2
per cent bond. and should sell. at low
estimate, above 90 Immediately. Burling-
ton will never let the interest payment go
by, under any circumstances at present
conceivable. The stock bonus OF two and
a half shares will be worth 1862 on basis
of 145 for the stock, or Sc share for the
sixty shares. From this amount would
have to be deducted the amount at which
the bonds sell under par, which may be
500.

TOlerably Honest.

Private John Allen, Of Mississippi,
had case in the Supreme Court. 1t
had been dragging along good while
in the lower tribunals, and when it was
reached in the higher body, the op-
posing counsel presented brief his
tory Of the cause so far asst had gone.
After the justice had listened atten-
lively to the lawyer, and when he had
finished, Mr.. Allen was asked if the
opposing counsel had stated what was
strictly true.
If your honors please, said the
astute Mississippian, II can best au-
swer the question with a little story.
Some time ago a sheriff Of one Of the
! counties Of my State died. There was
another gentleman residing in the
county who thought he could fill the
official shoes Of the deceased to nice
ty. so he proceeded to draw up d re-
commentator in his own behalf for
appointment to the vacancy, and then
secured his neighbors signatures to it..
He rccited in the document his numer-
Gus qualifications for the position, and
stated, among other things, that Mr..
Jones was strictly honest. He car
ried the paper to old Judge Smith and
asked him to sign it.
sThe Judge put on his specs and
carefully read the paper over. Then
he coughed and said:
";Jones, I'll sign this here recon-
mendation if you'll let me change one
word in it.
"Jones glowed with satisfaction, fol
the judges signature was power in
the premises.
'Certny, Judge, certny, he cordi
ally remarked. One word can't hur
the paper Now, what word woulf
you like to ch nge, sir?
"'Wcll, replied the judge, I jus
want to scratch out the word strict,
where it prccedcs honest and inser

The grave justices laughed and tn
case went on.
