The Southern's Plan.

The voting trustees of the Southern
Railway, in circular to shareholders,
propose that the trust agreement of
October 10, 1894, be extended for the
further period OF five years, or until
October 10, 1907, and thereafter. until
such date as a majority in amount of
holders of stock trust certificates as
senting to such extension shall have
fixed by vote, on the date of any annual
election for directors of the company
held after October Is. 1907. The trus-
tees declare that 1t is decidedly for the
interests OF the stockholders of the
Southern Railway TO protect their prop
erty by an extension of the voting trust.
until negotiations now pending for the
further development and strengthening
of its lines shall be settled beyond any
risk of being overturned, and until the
completion OF other negotiations now
pending in relation to transportation
interests in the Southern States. which
have an important bearing upon the
interests of the Southern Railway Com
pany.
the circular points out the danger to
which corporate properties are exposed
of the control of their stock being
bought up in the market by purchasers
not identified with the property. or per-
manently interested in its development

PIRATES IN THE GULF STREAM
Strange Tale of Red Rovers Told by
an italian Skipper.


Captain Luigi Montana of the steam
ship Sardegna, which has just arrived
at Naples from the United States with
a large number of emigrants on board.
recounts an extraordinary story of ad-
venture. Shortly after entering the
gulf stream, near the Mexican gulf, a
suspicious looking brigantine hove in
sight, from which piercing cries were
heard proceeding. Captain Montani i'm
mediately gave orders for pursuit and
under a threat of sinking the vessel.
brought her to a halt. He then armed
his crew. boarded the strange craft and
began to search the vessel.
1t proved TO be a pirate ship. Twenty
five pirates, who sought TO stink away
in small boats. were surrounded by an
overwhelming force and captured. They
were all Caribbean negroes or creoles.
Two beautiful girls were discovered
bound to the timbers of the ship, with
their mouths gagged. and on being
freed they had a heartrending story of
brutality to tell. The brigantine had
been seized by these pirates, who
wounded the original crew and the cap
tain, whose guests the girls were, and
threw them overheard. The pirates
thereupon steered the vessel, which had
a large cargo of she goats, toward the
Antilles. Captain Montani ends by
saying that he transferred the pirates
TO the Sardegna, kept them In irons and
made for Boston, where he delivered
them to the American authorities.

DEATH SPOILED THE TRADE.
They Were Getting Close to 1t When
the Grim Monster INTERVIEWED.
Detroit Free Press.)

(DetrOt Free PreSS.J
Il happened to be in a Vermont town
for four or five days three years ago"
said the stove agent, "and on the
evening of my arrival two of the old
settlers who were hanging out at the
tavern began 10 badger each other to
trade watches. Both timepieces were
of silver and old and battered, but
the interest was the same as If the
fate of the state hung in the balance.
No trade was effected that evening.
and they met again next night. In
fact. they talked trade every night of
my stay, and when l had to depart
they were still talking.
'Silas,' one would say, I amt
claimin that this is the best watch
in Vermont. but what I want you to
understand is that II hasn't. lost a
minnit in thirty years
" That may be, JOEL the other
would reply. but mine beats IL for
historical interest. You know a son of
General Putnam used to carry this
watch
q" General Putnam was a mighty
brave man.
And so was his son.
But that's got nothin' to do with
watches lAauG WIN Eba Api
81 TO boot. Silas. seem it's you, but 1
couldn't take a cent less.
Pm askin' IS the other way. Joel.
and so l don't see how We can pos
sibly trade
That's the way they were talking
when I left town." continued the drum
mer, and two months ago, when 1
happened to be in the same town
again, il occurred 10 me 10 ask the
landlord if the trade had ever been
efected.
No. they never traded, he re-
piled.
" Couldn't come 10 terms, EN-?
q" Wall, they was gettin' close to ii
a month ago, but both OF 'em died the
same week
But not OF the same disease?' I
asked.
" Yes. ! think It was. Leastwise,
both was found dead in their beds
with their old watches in their hands.
ard the doctors said they had talked
themselves to death. | think they
ought TO have stopped talkin' for a
while and played a few games OF
checkers 10 get their breath"
