The Proposed System of Piers--- More Plans Submiited. _.'MRe Department of Public Docks yestercay con- ‘Mined their public moeting for the purpose of listen- Jing to suggestions for tlie new system of piers and tepecting pians, models and specifications. None ‘of the pians are absolutely novel, but all have pecu- ‘Mar merits, which, if it were possible to amalgamate ‘Mm one, would make the Ove most desirable. Alter ‘the President, Mr. John ‘I. Agnew, calied tne meet ‘ing to order the first presented was tie WADDELL PLAN, which proposes to widen the vorthwesterly streets ‘and avenues throaghout the city to 150 feet, and tits “Outside western street should extend from the Bat- ‘tery to Spuyten Duyvil. A oulkhead of stone should then be bniit, with pers renuing into the bay, These Piers should be partially ef stone and partially iron @ylinders, similar to those on the Harlem river bridge. Owing to the cheapness of stone millions of tons of ‘8 Gould ve had from the Palisades, and easy of being Arapsporied. On this buikhead line should be built stone warehouses, occupying fifty feet, with some fifteen feet elevation, thus leaving two cartways right and left to each pier. On these st: uctures four pairs of rails were to be placed, the two cenire of which being for a through or express track and the ovher for way travel. Tue secoud floor vf the ware- ‘houses should always be on a level with the railroad track and baying hate ways on the upper floors. By #@uch a plan merchandise could pass direct from the arson board a ship, or vice versa, Mr, Waddeil @aid he would place an elevated railway on the puik- Read and warehouses, and the great central depot might be connected therewith by an arcade railroad. At midnight, when travel is almost at a stand still, freight cars trom the West could load direct from foreign Vesseis lying at the pters, The aubstructures beneath could be used for ferry houses, Junk shops, &c. Provisions could be made for the way travel @ot interfering with the through line, THE PONTRZ PLAN FOR CHEAP-PREIGUT. Mr. Pontez presented another plan. On a system of construction he proposed on a paratlel to the @ommissioners’ boundary line to construct a con- tnuous line of wharves seventy feet in width, com- mencing at the Battery and extending along the North river for four miles, allowing between the line nd the extremities of the present wharves a clear @hannel of about 150 feet wide. The supporting pate of piers of masonry to be placed> seventy of % apar:, and pessages for the exit aad ingress certain kinds of vessels to be provided for by omitting a Wi conyenicuce may require tances, connections to be made with the present wharves by turn bridges. Tis tine of whart would vereven additional miles of bertis for vessels. in the tonnage of New York there is aii cB 2@0\1 iL alte ference wita other large ports. ‘The bulk o! the von- age of this port comes from iniernai ¢ xamerce. To its expansion there is no fnull-y 0: properiy fostered aud adequate cacilitics provided.

Johnson, on behali of the canal interest, Tepresents to @ special committee of the Legisiatnre that the direct coasequenc? oi the lack of accomtno- dation has been accnstant dimuution of a certun Cias6 OF business On the canals. Canal boats can- not be accommodated with safety in the same sips with large vessels. They are in danger of beg ‘orashed or injured by coming in contact with them. “The commerce of the cauals is spectal in its nature and requires a common centre for the transaction of ‘ULusiness connected with it.” im view of these facts it would greatly benedt not only the shipping, but the railroad interest, if the Prcposed line of wharves were constructed and assigned to the exclusive use for uuluading and transhipment of fretzht of canal bosts, barges, Bteamcrstaud crait engaged in domestic commerce. ‘This long range couid be made # convenient and a@pacious mart and depot for the products of the count; This arrangement would seitie many vexed questions, remove the source of coinplaint by private whaif owners of Qnremunerutive rates and imjury to property, It would pore. other locations for the hay, straw, feed and other barges which now monopolize the berths and pile the public streets and waier fronts with heaps of bulky goods. It would leave the present wiarves for the use of large vessels, whose ludings will bear wharges for wharf accommodations somewhat pro portionate with the rates o. other ports. Addittonal Jacilities couid be extended to the railroad, shipping and public by erecung over this line of con- tanuous wharves au iron way sufficiently or whenever in dis. @levated to permit under it, throngh the openings, the passage of lighters, barges and @mwall sailing vesseis, likewise steamers and ferryboais, by tilting the upper ex remity of the amoke stacks. Tie elevate! road te be laid with four tracks for freight and passengers, with diverg- Ing tracks at a like clevation, made through the biocks, to points in prominent thorougiifares, such as City Hall, Canal street, Union square, Harlem Railroad depot, the Park, McComb'’s dam and Har- . By this means the upper extremity of the island could be reache in ha!fan hour. It may be urged that an uninterrupted line of wharves would present too great an impediment to the volume of the tide, and also tend to divert the course of the channel. However well founded these objections may Le when applied toa solid line of masonry, crto a pile whar’, they are groundless in respect.to this method of construction, even to be much doubt, Rudolphe possessing the adyan- sbould the wharves be place! beyond the bonnd- ary line. A number of deep vevseis movred in line ‘would present little less impediment than the-e pro- wharves. To detray the cost of coustruction reyennes would be derived from three sourves—trom. sicrage, wharf charg<e, and right of way for railroads. THE NICHOLS IRON SCREW PILE. Charles H. Pierson, eounsel for the inventor, snb- Miticd a model owing a plan by Caplain i. Nichols. The Captain would sink bnimense blocks of granite into the mud on the bed of the river and bind them together by iron bolts, passing irom one to the other andjgraduating in size upward to the Udewater mark. Jt would be impossible to have Berew stone piles out of line, as it becomes as perfect apicce of Masonry ascan be built upon the sur- face of the land. The weight of each of the piers resting on the sola bottom ® guarantee against further settiement, be each practically tested with an additional weight of from fifty to 100 tons of pig trop, so as to <— de the possibility of any subsequent settling. The Cap- tain proposed to form the pierhead of the colnma of eight feet square and of the requisit: depth up to the Jow water mark, and above that of six fect #puare, On thegnargin or base thus given he pro- ed to place secured wooden fenders for the pro- ction of ships running against the head of the Dicer, The inver coluinns, built at the dis fance of forty fecb span. Ivon or wooden girders are to be used, secured to the top of the iron poles, and diagonally braced in a manner 60 as to a perfectly silff and relia)ie bridge, covered with wood or iron. Another feature would be the butld- ing of a stone column, two feet in diameter, secured by an iron pile, and dowels for the mooring of ships. Layers of hydraulic cement are piaced upon the top of each stone, and each stone beromes émbedded tn 4%, thus forming one conglomerated mass, A STONE LINE ALONG THE RIVER. A pian was presented py Mi ohn A, Bryan, who proposes to consiruct & wall alo the Water iront which wyil form @ bulkhead ine, allowing railroads to pass over irom Sue Gud to the other, atid would have ‘the capacity for business w! te ight tracks conid afford. The structure ia to in open channel, mainiy Song the shoreo of the island. This idea, he states, will improve instead of interfering with th sewers; nor will travel be interrupted. The wea side of the city, as being the most popa- Jous, should receive the first attention. The wione line would kegs at the Battery, near pier No. 1 ata point in the river 200 feet westerly from the easterly side of West street. Thence continuing northerly on @ line paraliel with Weat street to Christopher street, thence to Twelfth avenue at or near the present bulkhead line, and so On to Fortieth street, where the construction will stop until such ume as the population will have become dense above that point; the stone wall soe this bulk- heaa line shail be made water-tight from the top downward abont twenty feet; the outside of this wall will be six feet from its top to high water mark; the breadth and foundation 9 be such as may be found necessary to insure wength and «urability. Inside this bulkhead wall and feet therefrom will be constructed an- other wail of less strength to hold the earth near the street; these two wails will enclose the channel for the railway; ticir tops will be ona level with the street and sixteen feet avove the railw bridges can be constructed from wall to wall w! necessary; the sewer pipes can ve continued westerly ‘across the railway chanuel, aud under the rocks into the river between fh and low water remedy the loosening of the fertilizing contents of the sewers by this plan, provision should be made for conducting tue contents of the sewers to the Bat- tery or some other point, alld emptied into iminense tanks, $1,000,000 per mile should not ve ‘ound enough to bulid this road let the amount be doubled, ‘then add $2,000,000 more for bg! and the total cost of the tour miles, from the Battery to Fortieth atreet, would be only $10,000,000, The interest on this would be $700,000, and this fs almost ashing compared with the income to be derived. If wel constructed the expense of ite maintenance would ‘be irifing, CAST IRON PIPES, J.B. Van Deusen, Naval Architect, proposed hav- ing hollow cast iron pipes for piles, placed vcn feet from centres in either direction, in sections twelve oct length, Banged and belied’ twweiher, taereby | ‘an internal serew; the pi ht, as the mud or is removed from the inside; when sunk the required depth a cast fron claw base 1s placed under whe pile, thereby in- creasing the area of support; the top sections of each pile will be made the required length, to bring them to a proper level; on the sides will be cast tron stepsand loz to rece side founders; each pile when properly aunk will be filled with concrete; wrought iron on each row of piles crosswise and screw volta; lengthwise sills or beams of girder tron will be placed five fect apart and bolted to the cross- wise beams; wrought iron braces will be inserted between the outside row of piles and the next row inside; cast tron arch plates will be inserted between the sills, resting on the lower fal which Belgian or other fenders of hard wood will be pi outside pile from top of sirlng-plece, below low water line, to protect the aides of vessels from the tron piles; cast iron bits and clects will be properly paced and fastened to string-piece; if warehouses ure required on the piers they may be constructed of iron continuing 2B the second row of piles, which will have an eight foot wood way entirely around the pier; the warehouses to be two stories high, with Mansard roof, with sliding doors, holst- ways, &c., for receiving §00 8; Warehouses and piers to be fireproof; should tl be any doubt as to tue durability of the tron, it can be galvanizea. 4 OVHER PLANS. There were several other plans preseitea, and fortunately the tospired inventors did not consume time by long prefaces regarding the wretched state of the docks and the necesaty for improvement, but went into a statement of their Bans. One of the most novel was that of Mr. W. H. Smith, who re- commended docks to be butit on piles, covered with Vitrified clay, 83 & preventive against rotting, ‘Tie Board at two adjourned to meet again next Tuesday ‘at one o'clock. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS, ‘The Park Avenue Tunnel and the Park Ave- nue Property Owners. Mayor Hall some time since recommended to the Park Commissioners the advantage that might be derived from a more thorough ventilation of the Park avenue tunne!, and more and betier facilities for entering and leaving the tunel #0 that horse cars might run through safely and UP TOWN TRAVEL f be much expedited. The Park Commissioners coin- cided in the views'of Mayor Hall, and had com- Menced plans for the proposed improvement, when some of the property owners along the avenue got it Into their heads that such alterations mght depre- ciate the value of their property, aud, however much it might accommodate the public, it would not suit their pockets, and they protested. Under the new regime the property owners are to have a voice in relation to improvements in the neighborhood of thelr residences, and with the idea of allowing al interests to be heard from the Executive Com- mitiee of the Department—Commiasicners Hilton, Fields and Ditlon—held a meeting yesterday at noon at No. 266 Broadway, at which the Park avenue pro- perty. owners, Fourth Avenue Railroad Company aud the Nineteenta Ward Citizens’ Assoviation were represented. The pringipal speakers were Mr.-Pot- tor and Mr. Clinton, on behalf of the property owners, Who stated that those whom they repre- sented were not opposed to the increase of means of communication by the Fourth Avenue Railroad, but they were opposed to the consiructton of the tunnel on the plan which the Commissioners had allowed to the railroad. The stairways would afford an opporwunity for the vicious and the dangerous classes to practice their crimes with impunity, and the proposed openings were much wo large, and likely to distigure the property and reduce its value, which amounted to more than $10,000,000. Mr, Foley, as the representative of the +Chivens” Association of tue Nineteenth ward, hoped that the work would not be delayed lony, as it was very needful that the cars should be ou the road by the 4th of July. Alter considerable disenssion it was deci led that the foluwing commitees from the tives in terests shouid meet and confer together upon Piuns, and submit the resuit of their delivera- tions to the Commissioners, Who are to meet at the same place at twelve o’clock on Tuesday next. Park Avenue Committec—Messrs. Potter, Hackelt and Clinton. ~ Citizens’ Association—Messrs. Foley, ‘Townsend snd Whitbeck. Fourth Avenue Rail- roal—Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt and the engineers of the road, E mi Ue by its own we! Mayor Hall on the Subject. How groundiess the fears said to be entertained by ihe properiy owners along Parx avenue are, and how fully ail the objections raised by them may be overcome, can readily be learned from the following communication, indirect)y, from Mayor Hall:— Mayor's Orricr, New Yorks, June 24, 1870. ‘To tae Eprron or raR HERALD: he Mayor requests me, as an act of justice to the Fourth Avcuue Kailroad Company, to refer to two torial paragraphs im your tssue of to-day. You ‘This attempt of the Fourth Avenue Railroad Company is but another underground Broadway outrage in miniature, ‘and it bebooves all who feel an fnterest In the progress of the work of ornamenting the city so ausplciously begun b; the Park Commissioners to see that their labors are not ren- dered nugatory and vold by the encroachments of the many ramroad monopolies that have been permitted to spread themsolves, like spiders’ webs, all over the city. And again: k Commissioners should not give way before the ‘pations ot the horse railroad companies. If the !atter do treapect the rights of citizens the next Legislature will er their franchises to make them dou. Even admitting that your comments are just, no blame should attach to the company, but to the Mayor; because the proposition to ventilate the tun- nels and provide them with steps at street. curuers, in order to facilitate travel, procveded from the Mayor. He supposed, and still supposes, that he was acting nos only for the best interests of the travelling puble, but for that of the residents along the lime of Park avenue, among whom are many of fis personal and political friends. The horse cars now run to the entrance of the tunnel at Thirty-fourth strect. The tracks are finished from the other end of the tunnel out towards Harlem, and reauy ssenger trate, The tracks must either be connected by transit through the tunnel or by rails over — its top, The HERALD, as well as many other newspapers of the iy, has strenuously insisted upon more railroad accommodations, and has partcularly urged the Fourth Avenue Raliroad extension, itis supposed that Mr. Vanderbilt can supply riding facilities to af least 25,000 more pas- sengers per day than the Third Avenue Railroad Company are able to doin the present situation of their travel. Even if itcould be conveniently pos- sible to the health of passengers to take them through the tunnel, their transit is regarded by the police to be a veay unsafe operation, ‘The tunel is eight blocks Jong, and, from its darkness, might afford a convenient rendezvous for Ueves and pick- pockets, whp could more easily beset small cars thau the large ones now used, The plan proposed Wes fo cut an opening in the tunnel at each Dlock; to surround these openings with evergreens, so that the openings would be hidden from observation; to. cut the steps, in conventent and ornamental manner, by which passengers could ascend and descend; to surround the space with oroxmental iamps aud rall- ing, and then to keep a policeman at each fight, night and day, in order to guard passengers and secure neighbors from annoyances and nuisances. ‘The Mayor believes (ag did the President of the Central Park Commission, and, as I am informed, all the Park Commissioners believe) that the im- provements were made much more in the interest of citizens who are residents far up town, and even of the Park avenue residents, than in that of the railroad company, which would prefer to run its horse cars over the surface of Park avenue and re- serve the tunnel exclusively for freighting purposes, However, whether these views be correct or incor- rect, whatever blame may attach to the operation, must be debited against the Mayor, and not against the compan, CHARLES o.

The Accident Caused by Carbonic Acid Gas. ‘The Ingnest on the body of James Burbridge, who was killed hy an explosion at Jersey City, took place yesterday before Coroner Burns, The copper tank which exploded was twenty-eight inches in length, and eight and a half inches in diame- ter, and contained carbonic acid gas, used In the manufacture of soda water. According to the tes- mony of Mr. Horatio Allen, the owner of the goods, he had used this tank for the past three years at his country residence for making soda water, aud he never employed more than ordinary care in hand- ling it. In fact the explosion was most unexpected, ‘The pressure on th e tank was about three hundred | eget just one-haif of the registered pressure. @ jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and Dar, AllcD Was \aerouNeN dingharRes L010 GuALOMLTe NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 1870.

It will be remembered by the readers of the HERALD that at the time of this occurrence @man nained Patrick Hernan, a letter carrier, was shot by oMcer Burke. After the jury gwere sworn Recorder Hackett read over the indictment and de- cidea that, as matter of law, the defendant could not be convicted of @ higher grade of offence than assault and battery, a club not being a sharp and dangerous weapon in the meaning of the statute. His Honor made this announcement in order, if pos- sible, to shorten the trial. TESTIMONY OF OFFICER BUREE. William Burke, the complainant, was then exam- ined, and proceeded to give his account of the trans action. He testified that on the night of the 2d of June he saw Varley standing with two others in front of 805 Pearl street, fifteen minutes before twelve o'clock; Join McCarthy was one of them; he had his club under nis arm; one of the men THer- man) made the remark, ‘fhere is the sonof a b——h that sent Mangin ap;’? Varley saia, ‘Let us send hap down," or, “take him down;" his club was taken from under his arm; he was taken by the col- lar ef his cout and pulled backwards towards the window; Variey kicked him ia the side, at the same fume swearing, and he felt a pain as if he was & ‘ked with a pin; he was positive that he was eat around the shoulders with a ciub; he was lying on his back and drew his pistol; Varley caught hold of the barrei of the pistol, assisted by MoUartny; Varley twisted it so that the ninuzzle of It polnied at the oilicer’s breast; MoCartiy hit Burke on the arm with his hand; the oiticer tnaty suceceded in gookihg. the _ pistol and fred, Variey baving hold of the barrel ut the time; the oficer tired again, and the men went into the door, which was bolted; he called for help and officers came to his assistance, ‘he witness was cross-examined at leagth, and denied that Hernan was running away wien ne (Burke) deliberately shot him, OTHER EVIDENCE. Oficers Ryan and Irving testiiled that they heard the shots fired, and yeas reaching tie scene of the occurrence they saw Burke staading vI ing, have ing no Ciub; there was a man lying un the sidewalk, who alterwards proved to be Herman. The oMicers Went into the house by the window anil arre.ted McCarthy and Variey, Captain Allaire testified that when Burke came to the station house he saw that he had a cut on tne left eye about a quarter of an uch long, and chat he found Burke's cluo hanging behind the door of 367 Pearl street. Dr. Waterman, who attended Burke, described his cou- dition, and said that he found only slight marks of violence upon his person. The accused (Variey) gave very different statement of ie anu. He suid that lie was standing with McCarihy aud Her- nan in front ol the latter's premises, when the officer came up aud said, “Get away from here; Hernan replicd, “1 ave here and Wont’. go away ;” the officer drew his club and advanced on fernan, who put up his aria and caugit hold of the weapon; they bota seized the club and gobdown, Whereupon the oficer drew tue pistol aud fired; he (Variey) took hold of the pistol and kept the muzzle om, Burke hay turned It upou his (Varley’s) breast; the oflicer ti it again and the deceased was then standing upon the Jront step of the door; Varley said io the oilicer, “Don’t shoot,” and Re said, “I wall shoot you; he saw the oficer come afterwards within six feet aud fire, tuo ball sirikiug his finger; Var- Jey caught nolqd of Hernan, who trembled and fell.

After the testimony was closed a recess.of fifteen minutes was taken, and upon the court reassem- bling the Kecorder stated to the jury he had been informed that one of the jurors had approached since the adjournment and certam persons had talked to him about the case on trial. The-foremun and another juror replied in the afirmative, and named the fourth juror as the party, who, upon being interrogated by hig Honor, said that he had talked with 2 policeman, but not in reference to this case, Counsel for the defendant then proceedea to sum. up, and in the course of his remarks, while paying & just tribute to Recorder Hackett’s fairness and integrity, animadverted in severe terms. upon the frutality of the officer in roepsap sy a Ne citizen, denounced the democracy for electing public omMctals by repeaters, and indulged in ‘“dntem- pecate”? Janguage in alluding to matters outside of @ CBE, Assistant District Attorney Fellows replied in Janguage which compelled Mr. Charles Spencer to wince under the acatiing which the able prosecutin: officer administered. Prosecuting counsel vindica' the purity of the bench and the impartial and efti- cient administration cf criminal justice on the part of the prosecuting officers of the county, and in an able te der supported the charge that the pri- soner Varlcy Was guilty of assaulting she officer. VERDICT GUILTY. Recorder Hackett, in his charge, gave a clear statement of the evidence, and, after dcliberaung. for half an hour upon the’ case, the jury reudered & verdict of guilty. SENTENCE. The Court, in passing sen£ence, said thar had the indi¢tment allowed the jury to find Varley gu of an assault with a dangerous weapon, witii intent to do bodily harm, they would have been justified in doing 80; that one of his companions met his death at the bands of oMlcer Burke, who was perfect) justified under the circumstances in taking the Ii of Hernan. His Honor saia he must show Varley and all others that policemen must not be inver- fered with in the performance of their duty, and should sentence the prisoner to the Penttentiary for #ixX months, TRE GTALIAN BRIG G.USEPPINA.

The crowds loitered about the street, at the doors of the Gold Room and Stock Exchange and in the brokers’ offices discussing the most recent adventures of the bold young speculator, ‘Were it not for the immense amounts of gold which have been hypothecated tn various places the street Would soon consign the whole affair to the past and go on as unconcerned as ever. But the loans made on the Ketchum gold have to be returned and lengthy accounte settled, all of which in che pro- cess of adjustment led to a feverish and weak market, despite the belief generally induiged the evening previous that alt was over. GOLD DOWN TO 11134. ‘The gola market was strong at the opening in this belief, but aa the forenoon advanced a number of in- surance companies with whom gold had been pledged at 110 (the readers of the HzxaLp will re- member that we recorded these hypothecauions at the time of their occurrence) began to sell out, and the price fell from 111% to 11144. The market railed several times, but each rise drew out sales of gold held by private bankers and others with whom it had algo been pledged by the clique. This will show the magnificent proportions of the movement which Ketchum initiated and intended, As fast as he bought gold he deposited it 48 collateral for @ loan of 110 per cent in currency, With which he immediately bought more gold, repeating the operation as often and as exten- sively a8 he could.

Should it do so the readers of this article cannot say they have not been fore- told of the sirong probability of such a contingency. ‘fhe chief fluctuations to-day were as follows:. + WI 2P.M, In the gold Joan market the rate ranged from 2 per cent for carrying to fat and 1-64 for borrowing. ‘The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as aured ++ «$70,900,000 Goid balances. 2,008,472 Currency balances. 2,266,650 STOCKS PEVERIGH AND WEAK, The stock market was likewise false to the promise of @ better market on the full disclosure of the Ketchum-Boyd affair. ‘The holders ef hyphothecated stocks were com- pelied to xell out those which were not redeemed in the previous efforts of Mr. Ketchum’s friends to sustain the market by aasuming @ portion of nis burden, There was no important decline, however, except in Rock Island, which fell to 116 on heavy sates late in the afternoon, The directors of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southera Railway Com- pany have declared a semi-annual dividend of four per ceut free of tax, payable August 1 at the Union ‘Trust Company. ‘The transfer books will close July 16 and reopen August 1, 4n convection with this the Datly Bulletin says. The directors of the Lake Sbore and Michigan Southern Railway Vompany have for sume ume past had in contemplation the expedieucy of placing a uew mortgage on all their property and franchises (except the Detroit, Munroe and Toledo branch), amounting to $25,000,000, Recently it has been de- cided upon, and at the meeting to-day the board authorized the issue of $25,000,000 consolidated mort- gage bonds, for the purpose of retiring the bonis now outstanding as they mature, for double track where the same is needed, equipment, &<., and for other ee including the taking ap of the floating debt.

Shore) meet to-morrow to declare the semi-annual dividend. The umount expected Js four per cent, which will, it 18 thought, be provided tor as was the previous divi- deni, when the company issued $2,000,000 of new mortgage bonds, The earnings of the road have been decreasing for the past six months and the treasury is but scantily supplied. ‘These latter facts, however, are no detriment in these days to divi- dends. In fact, from the manner in which railways are managed nowadays it makes uo real difference to the investor in the long run whether roads are dividend-paying or non-dividend paying. Our remarks as above were the result of our per- sonal observation that the speculators who have had poxsession of this line ever since its treasury was bankrupted In the panic last year have been forced, to borrow money to pay dividends. The four per cent dividend of last February was provided, idi- rectly it 18 true, by the issue of two miltions sinking faud bonds. Now when the treasury is confessedly empty the dividend is again declared. It 1s an insult to the intelligence of the stockholders to seck to conceal, beneath the fimsy dis. guise of .this new issue of $8,000,000 mori- gage bonds, the real object of the so-called consolidation of the old funded debt. If simple consolidation be intended why is the amount increased from $22,000,000 to $25,000,000? A great wrong is practised upon the community when railway officials vote dividends which have not been earned, Despite this announcement the stock- was strong and at one time rose to 99%. In warning the public of the intentions of the directors in this instance we are reminded of what we said concerning the Rock Island clique some time ago, The over issue of stock then contemplated could not be sold, owing to our appris- ing the public in good season, Wo ask the public to bide their time in this instance, Perhaps before many days the Stock Exchange will receive the required thirty days’ notice of the in- tended tasne of at least 20,000 new shares. For the sake of the present stockholders we hope we are mistaken, But the sales which broke the price to- day to 116 are, very likely, the disposal of some of the new issue. Wabash was weak at the last board, when it sold down to 5534, on the notice from tne company that they will, at the end of thirty days, lgguie 83,000 shares of new stock, to equip and com- plete the 160 miles of road constituting the extension of the Une from Decatur to St. Louis, Subsequently the stock rallied to 5644 and closed strong.
