FINANCIAL POSITION STRENGTHENED
The financial position of the railroads that have
recently effected sales of bonds has thereby been
materially strengthened The proceeds OF the
bonds have at least in most cases been used to
take up floating Indebtedness and other tempo
raTy Indebtedness and result many securi-
ties which were pledged for the payment Of these
obligations have been released and restored to the
trasuries Of the companies. The securities in not
n few instances, represented control OF affiliated
properties. While these securities were out of
the possession Of the companies the technical post
ton OF the companies impaired. The expecta-
ton Is. the financial situation having changed for
the better that the funding OF floating debts win
proceed with celebrity. The floating debts were
created because when sreated the times were un-
propitious for marketing securities Now securities
are readily salable at improving prices.

Toward the close of the reign Of
Elizabeth, when the Spaniards were
frequently lowering about the south
west coast of England, a party from
their ships landed In the neighborhood
Of where Falmouth stands today, with
the intention of burning the borough OF
Penryn. 1t CHANGED, however, that that
same evening some strollers had set
up in Penryn market place repre-
sentation by puppets OF certain Incl
dents In the life of Samson, including
his victory over the Philistines.
At the point Of Samson's onset upon
these with the Jawbone OF the ass the
strollers beat drums and sounded trtiIn-
pets indicative OF an alarm, and the
Spaniards, who were at that moment
about to rush the town, believing It to
be full Of soldiers, bolted for their
boats.
This probably occurred in 1896, when
there was II Spanish squadron on the
coast, which landed troops and burned
Penzance.
