Result of New stock Issues.
The above figure, S2O,14611O, does not
wholly give the right idea as the big de-
probation in st. Paul common and North
western common is largely the result Of
new stock issues. The rights accruing
thereon to the Union Pacific II sold in the
market would probably have brought
s1.50Oo0O, which brings the net shrinkage
down to about S1S,5OO,OO0. 1t is immaterial
that the rights were not sold and new
stock subscribed for.
On the whole. therefore, It appears that
by selling the Hill stocks and not holding
them Mr.. Hartman made for the Union
Pacific nearly S4S0OO,OOO; that the invest
ments made last fall show a loss in the
present demoralized state of the stock
market OF S1s,6OO, 900; and that the net profit
made for Mr.. Harriman's stockholders by
the barter amounts to nearly S25, 900, 900
This is the amount the stockholders are
ahead Of whore they would be If the Union

 ne had believed that the bill would be beneficial, and since his entrance upon his present official duties his belief has been strengthened. The applications to the office of the Secretary of State for copies of local measures adopted by the Legislature are frequent and their publication in the counties which they affect would be of great convent enoe to the citizens of the State.
 At present local legislation, to be constitutional, must be preceded. before It's introduction and passage by the Legislature, by publication in a newspaper in the community 1t ef- fects.- It. is required also that the general laws passed by the Leg isiature shall be published in news papers, and MT.

CentraI of GeorxIa Plead That Its Re sponsibility Ceased. With Trans- portatiOn to Destination, But
 Supreme Court Otherwise.

That railway company is responsi- bla as warehouseman or bailee for bag gage which has reached its destination but has not been delivered to the pas senger to whom 1t belongs. is an opin- ion rendered yesterday by the Supreme Court.

 It is said that the appellee travelled from point In Georgia. to Malvern, Ala. whither his baggage, duly check cd. was carried by the appellant com pany. Appellee did not ask for bag gage until the day after Its arrival, when 1t was discovered that the bag gage had been stolen. The lower court had given an affirmative charge for ap- pellee. which was sustained by the Su- preme Court, which held that delivery of baggage at destination to agent of appellant company might terminate the nompany's liability, Gas a common car rier.) but 1t did not terminate the lia- birty as warehouseman.
 The decision rendered in the appeal of the Western Union Telegraph Company against Lucille Westmoreland regarded a suit for $1,000 damages for failure by the apellant company to deliver a telegram sent by apellee. The 1udg- Ynent by the lower court. the Circuit Court of Limestone County. was sus- tained.
 An unusual case was decided yester- day when the Supreme Coure affirmed the judgment of the Russell County Circuit Court in awarding c. o. Mar tin damages in the sum of $50 for the killing or dog by the Central of Geor- xia Railway Company. The court held that negligence on the part of the own CT of the dog did not excuse the com peny from liability.
