Two Railroad Loans.

The New Haven road offers $50, ,000,- 900 of new stock and the Pennsylvania SS0, 900, 900. This means a call for S130, 100000 of new money, and, as the slang has it, that is some. There will be about 100000 rights accruing for the New Haven increase and about 6,400,000 for the Pennsylvania increase, where the shares themselves stand for only $50 each. It is conceivable that these two increases coming along to- gether will militate against one an other and tend to keep prices down. It is conceivable, too. and very conceiva- ble, that the fellows who pick up rights at low rates in either of these great concerns which run through the very heart of the country will make tidy sum by their forethought.-Har Courant.

After exploiting in New Britain, Danielson and a Massachusetts town,

After exploiting in New Britain,
 Danielson and a Massachusetts town, Lemuei J. Coburn. representing the Industrial and Manufacturing company. came to New London. and. assisted by l residents of Danielson, laid his boom ing plan before the citizens of New London at several meetings held in the common council chamber of the city hall, under the auspices of the New London Board of Trade. The plan was for the booming company to purchase lot of land just over the line in Wa terford and to sell off two hundred and twenty-five building lots from the tract to New Londoners. and in return the company would erect a factory building and place an industry therein, in ad- dition to laying out the plat into streets and building lots.
 To some the scheme looked good and the promoters were given some en- couragement but not very much. MT Coburn gave the people to understand plainly that if the plan was not to re- ceive the hearty moral as well as the financial support of the people that the Manufacturing and Industrial company did not care to locate in New London. or just over the line in Waterford. One prominent merchant at one of the meetings had the nerve to ask MT. Coburn what guarantee his company would give that 1t would do even all that it agreed to do, although more was promised. More talk of that na- ture followed and MT. Coburn said with some force that it was evident that the people of New London did not want the aid of his company to increase the industrial importance of the city and that therefore the company would To- cate elsewhere and all preliminary ne- gotiations were declared off and in the course of time located in Mystic.
 The greater part of the B. F. Will Hams farm was secured by the Coburn company. The place was cut up into building lots and the required number were soon sold, many engaged in the liquor business in New London being among the purchasers. Then the In- dustrial and Manufacturing company did as agreed and erected mill build ing and placed. an industry therein. known as the Ninigret Mill company. which is doing business at the present time, and several dwelling houses have been erected in Industrial place But the time came when the big bubble was punctured and New Londoners are congratulattng each other that they did not become beneficiaries of MT. Coburn's glittering generosity, as pie tured at the public meetings in New London.
 Attachments have been placed on ths Danielson and Mystic properties and 1t is said that the company is be- yond all hope of financial restoration. NoS only the actual creditors will be

Norwich bulletin., 1909-11-06

Mainly through the persistenoy of a local newspa per which met response with common council members some years ago, nearly all the men who have honored the city and themselves by filling the office of mayor have fur nished framed portraits of themselves for the adornment of the council chamber and to make more complete the history of New London. At that time a special committee of the coun-- cfl was appointed to locate the living ex-mayors and relatives-of the dead to ascertain what could be done in get ting suitable pictures for the city hall. Every one of the mayors from the first to the then incumbent could be had in picture form save one, that of ex- Mayor Wilson. The living mayors cheerfuiIy compiled with the request of the committee and furnished their pie lures and the descendants Of others did the same for their forebears Others were willing to furnish the photo graphs to be copied, but could not stand the expense of painting. The council accepted all that came as gifts but no steps were taken to secure those that would cost the city comparative trifie, so the opportunity has probably been lost and the prospects arc that

Springfield, Ill.,, Nov. 12.-Sheriff
Davis of Alexander county in discuss
ing the recent riots at Cairo this ever
ing denied vigorously that they were
the result Of reported miscarriages
of justice in that county. He said that
several murderers had been tried in
the courts there, but through able
counsel they had been freed by jures.
Asked regarding the personnel of
the mob, reported to have been led
by prominent citizens Of that city,
Sheriff Davis said this was not true,
and that the mob was composed in
part Of people from the surrounding
territory from across the border line
in Kentucky and elsewhere, who
daily visit Cairo, and that from this
element came the leaders of the mob
which caused the order for state
troops to he sent to the scene, follow
