AN OVER InlsUE OF STOCK.
The Presdllent of a PhiladelpDha Raltroad
Issues Over Double the Capital Stock
of His Road.
PHrLADRLIPATA. Sept. 22.-Early this morn
ing the region of Third and Chesnut streets
was startled by a rumor of the most
alarming nature. It was reported that an
over issue of stock of the West Philadelphia
a Railroad, running on Market street, had been
detected, and that Mr. J. S. Morton, presi
dent of the company, was implicated to a
great extent in the frauds. Tho report reach
ed the clerk of the Exchange, and was laugh
ed at and characterized as a stock numor.
Later in the evening it was discovered to be
a fact. The total number of shares compris
Ang the capital stock of the company is 0M00,
at the par value of $50. The shares have,
however, been selling for $15.
The number of shares over issued, and for
which there was no authority, is estimated at
10,000, which is nearly double the stwock of the
company. The three leading men in the
company are implicated in the over issue, viz.,
John 8. Morton, president; Samuel P. Hun
ter and B. F. Stokes.
Mr. Morton was interviewed at his resi
dence this evening, and in answer to a ques
tion said: "The report was only too true. I
have nothing to say in justification of my
action. I have resigned the presidency of the
Market Street Road, and will face the conse
quences of my acts. Many friends have ad
vised me to leave the city, but I will not. I
have the consciousness of knowing that I
have not made a dollar in the transactions."

burg.
Gov. Hubbard telegraphs the general com
manding as follows:
"Judge Russell says that Canales and the
whole regiment have resigned, and that we
can extradite no more criminals. It will be

exhausted. How a collision can be avoided is
not well understood by the military authori
ties."

Last Thnrsday a rnumerons gathering of friends I
I -fowed to-ti. grave nur-oldtime-comratdl, Fraat- -1
(reig. No braver man ever lived; no gentler I
nature ever drew breath; no truer soul ever I
aspired to what is good and beautiful. He was a
good oltizre, an honest man and a true friend. I
When the first aun fired upon Fort Sumter gave I
the lgnli of a four years' internlcine war he en. I
listed under the iSouthern banner and his bright I
bayonet followed its fortunes through thick r
and thin until the last remnant of his
regiment, the gallant Thirtieth Louistina,
surrendered with the balance of our
Southern heroes before the crushing might
' of superior foro--all or us In the brigade
knew lFrank and loved him. Loved him for his
chiuld-like simplicity, his lamb-like meekness
in his lion-like bravery, After the war
he acted as we all did, and strove to
make a living where Jackals were squandering
the substance of the land. With ns he rose on
the 14th of September spainst Kell:,gg's myr
midomes and was wounded. He lingered for
awhile, but the glortous 9th of Jannuary found
him again in the front. Now, be has gone to
reasp the harvest of an honest and pure hife, leavr
ln. his remembrance as a legacy to friends wto
will never be forgetful.
R. N. DAVIS.
The remains of Mr. I. M. Davis were yester
day followed to the grave by a large concourse of
sorrewing relatives and friends. He died in the
country after a long and painful attack of gastric
fever. Mr. Davis held several positions of prom
inence in the financial circles of this city. He
was at one time president of the Bank of Louisi
ana (the old Ajax). and more recently president
of the Peoples' Bank and the People's Insurance
Company. He was an able financier, a most
competent, energetic, exact and honest bank
officeer, and always gave in his administration of
affairs general satisfaction to all who had to deal
with him. He was a useful, honest and public
spirited citizen, and in all the relations of life,
public and private, filled the measure of a good,
true and faithful man.
KEY.
A Democratic editor down in Houston,
Texas, is very much perturbed by Sec
retary Key's New England speeches,
and raves in this way: "We spit him
out! We spurn and loathe the crop
eared craven, the foul, unclean buzzard,
who pollutes the eagle's tyrie."
Walking along the Strand the other
day, an English officer saw approaching
him a man in tatters carrying a tray, on
which were some small pies, marked
one penny each. As he got near him
he recognized a brother officer, who had
served in the same regiment some years
previously. He accosted the poor fel
low, and was sympathizing with him on
his sad plight and altered circum
tttnces, when the other exclaimed,
"Hang your pity Buy a pie."

their sense of wrong and outrage. I would

A RWIUNT LOCAL TN,'ID NT.
In 1868 one of the "solid men" of this vi
I cinity was appointed guardian of a boy who
Sdrew a pension on account of the dlath of his
father-killed at the battle of Antletam, If
teen years ago to-day--in the Fedweral servls.
The guardlan had been and Is now sewmnlor de
Scon in the Baptist Church of this village. My
father signed his bond as guardian-a "mexa
formality" as the old gentleman supposed -
for he hadl no idea that the senior deaecon d
the local Baptistry would require any fleshly
e bonds to secure the pittance of a soldier's ar

Well, time wore on. Two giddy daughtm
Sexhaustee the senior deacon's substance i
frivolity and the thousand and on, extraw
Sagances of the present generation ,of North

Sassignment." In the meantime my fate
k hall forgotten allabout the bond. But he was
f soon reminded of it after the senior dewse

Ssion for eight or nine years and had used it
, along, as he said, in the course of busineses;
I, the boy meantime earning his owr living and
fondly imagining that his pension was m

When asked about the matter the goof
senior deacon said he had used up the money,
that he could not account for it, but that
Jhis .onscienmce was clear becauwse tFe bee,1sum

loss!
inquiry developed that the fund, includ.g
accrued interest, would amount to nesrty
$2000, a sum which my paternal ancestor
very naturally disliked to make good, ewe
for so holy a purpose as that of clarifying tUs
conscience of a senior deacon. So the oh!
gentleman, not being imbued with that pern

which "clears the conscience so long as tie
