LAWS OF STATES DIFFER.


Larz A. Whitcomb yesterday received
copy Of the articles Of incorporation of the
Mississippi Land and Investment Company,
in which Charles Whitcomb, of Terre
Hause, is interested, and of which he is the
vice president. The document is interest
ing in that it shows the wide difference be-
tween the laws governing corporations in
Mississippi and Indiana.
The first step towards the incorporation
of a company in Mississippi is to prepare
the articles, which are submitted to the at
torney general for his opinion. If this
opinion is favorable three weeks notice by
publication is given of the intention of the
company and then the articles SUBJ
mitted to the Governor, who has arbitrary
power TO issue or decline to issue the char
ter.
Mr.. Whitcomb's company is authorized to
buy, sell and manufacture lumber and all
wood products. including all kinds of build
ing material; to do a general contractors
business; TO obtain right of way, build and
operate electric railways; to buy and sell
either real estate or personal property for
the company or for others on commission;
to locate, erect and operate manufacturing
plants of all kinds and such other property
as may be for the best interests of the COM
pany: to discount and rediscount notes and
all kinds Of commercial paper; to loan and
borrow money and secure the same in any
lawful way; 10 issue stock and secure pay
ment for such either in cash, real estate or
personal property owned by the incorpora-
tors at the time of issuance. and to do all
things authorized TO be done under the
laws of the State and to exercise fully and
freely all the rights and privileges con-
ferred upon corporations by the State.
The company may commence business
when per cent. of its stock is paid in. The
company is capitalized at $4,000. On this
basis by paying in $500 the incorporators
have a charter that would be worth any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 in Indiana.

w. B. FLICK'S REPORT.
Fru.t Prospects for Indiana Are Dis
cOuraging, He Says.


The report to the Indiana Horticultural
Society of fruit conditions in the State on
the 1st of June. as reported by Secretary
W. p. Flick, is somewhat discouraging.
He says:
1.-The frost and low temperature prevailing
during the last OF April and first week In
May did the damage. Ice an inch thick
formed in some localities, and snow and
sleet fell.
Pears. peaches and cherries may be con-
sidered a failure. The few plums that
varieties. Apples came through in better
condition than any other tree fruit. and we
may get some fine apples II the scab which
has struck some orchards Is not too extern
sive. There is a noticeable absence of the
Goblin moth, but canker worms and cater
pillars are destroying unsprayed orchards.
Curculios are abundant, and in the absence
of plumS they are working on the apple.
Raspberries promise a moderate crop and
blackberries an abundant one. Strawberries
in the northern part OF the State will be
light but fine.

northern third of the State: Apples 43.

TOOK A NAP IN A CAR.



Early yesterday morning Turnkey Al
Mathey. of the city police station, heard
q score of unearthly yells, which seemed
to come from a boxcar that was standing
on the L. z. & w. tracks at the side Of
the building, and thinking there was muir
der being committed. he sent for Bicycle
men Trimpe and Low to investigate the
cause OF the apparent distress They had
no trouble in locating the car, but found it
locked securely with a heavy iron paddock.
In the meantime the cries from within
became more vehement and the word muir
der" kept ringing I'm the ears of the police as
they struggled to force the car door open.
Finally door gave way and flew to one
side, when the sooty, uncouth figure of a
diminutive man rolled from the car and
fell in a heap on the ground by Trimpe's
feet. Low grabbed the man and asked for
an explanation as to the cause of his out
cry. He said his name was Martin Clark,
that he lived I'm st. Louis, and was a
knight of the road. He wanted a place in
which TO sleep over night, he said, and
crawled into the car, which was loaded
with beans. and with beans for a pillow
and a copy of the Indianapolis Journal for
a blanket he was soon In the happy land
of dreams. While he slumbered peacefully
some meddlesome person came along and
locked the car door. He awoke early in
the morning. and wishing to get out merely
called for help he said. He was locked up
at the police station charged with loiter-
ing.

Willie Connors. of 1884 Webster street,
knocked at the door of the residence of
Henry Adams, COL West Vermont street.
yesterday morning and when the door was
opened presented a note which purported
to come from Edward Arszman. who works
on Commission row, asking that the boy
be given his best suit of clothes as he
wished TO have them pressed. Arszman's
father became suspicious and telephoned
his son. who informed him that he had
asked no one TO get his clothes. Bicycle
Policemen Hull and Griffin were called and
the boy. on being questioned, said the note
had been given him by man who he
supposed was Arszman, and he was told
to bring the clothes to West and WASH
ington streets. bundle OF old clothes
was made up and young Connors took them
TO the street where he was to meet the
man. but he did not appear to claim them.

NO INTENTION OF SUICIDE.


Mrs. Anna Bennett, who lives on Mime
sofa street, Norwood, was found by neigh
bors lying on her bed in an unconscious
condition last night and an empty lauda-
mum bottle standing on a table in the room
caused them to believe that she had at
tempted to end her existence by drinking
the drug. They at once called up the City
Dispensary by telephone and summoned
Drs. Cunningham and Johnson to the scene.
AS Mrs. Bennett lives about a mile be-
yond the car line the doctors were COM
PEELED to grope their way along In the
dark after getting off the car. and conse
quently were somewhat delayed in getting
there. On arriving they found Mrs Ben
nett writhing In agony from the effects of
the laudanum she had taken. They worked
with her for an hour before bringing her
out of danger. Mrs. Bennett said she had
an attack of cramps and took the drug in
the hope of getting some relief from the
pain, but uncOnsciously drank too much.
She had no intention of committing suicide,
she said.
