Four Track. to South Norwnik.
Now that the New York road is four-
tracked from New Rochelle to Port Ches-
ter, the next section to be similarly treat-
ed is from Bridgeport to South Norwalk,
15§ miles. Work on this section will be-
gin early in the spring and the contract
will be pushed with the view of complet-
ing it the present year. This will be less
difficult and more inexpensive to build
than the 9 miles from New Rochelle to
Port Chester now finished because of the
difficulties such as heavy .rock cute and
grades of the latter section and gradually
these sub-sections will be united. After
this there will be two more sections to
build—tbs 18 miles from New Haven to
Bridgeport and the 14 miles between
South Norwalk and Port Chester. The
managers of the Consolidated road claim
that their line will be four tracked from
New R- tclielle to New Haven within four
years. and that when this is done their
express trains will be run through in an
hour to this city and the run from New
York to Boston correspondingly reduced
to 5i hours. The express trains will

they were on Thomas street acting in a

“Americans traveling in England get
an easy practical lesson in the history of
the oyster industry when they find that
they must pay 2a., or fifty cents for
oysters. Oysters in England. from be-
ing the food of the populace, have be
come the luxury of the very rich. Even
at the wealthiest houses people Invited
to dine feel that they are being treated
very well if they are permitted to begin
the meal with oysters. This fact will
show how highly they are thought of
there. It sometimes happens that there
are people who do not eat oysters. it is
considered a great piece of good fortune
to be plwed at dinner next one of those
individuals. A gentleman so situated,
after having eaten his own portion, will
request permission to devour those of
his fair neighbor. Some time ago Punch
had a picture which illustrates the great
consideration in which oysters are held
in England. A sentimental lady says to
a matter-offset and middle-aged Eng-
lishman: “Bow one's regete increase as
one grows older 1 What vanishing poa-
sibilrtiee of your youth do you most re-
gret?” The Englishman replies: “I re-
gret that i did not eat more oysters when
they were 18d. a dozen.”
“We, in this country. would think
ourselves fallen upon evil days indeed if
we had to pay fifty cents for a half doz-
en raw oysters. Yet we should undoont~
edly have to come to this if the exhaust.
ed natural beds were not supplemented
by artificial propagation.
”There is a general impression that there
is but little nutriment in oysters. Recent
investigation proves this impression to be
mistaken. A quart of oysters containaon
an average about the same quantity of
actual nutritive substance as a quart of
milk, or a pound of very lean beef, or a
pound and a half of fresh codfish, or two
thirds of a pound of bread. The nutri-
tive substance of oysters is like that of
milk, which it resembles. Oysters con-
tain the flesh-giving ingredientmin short,
come nearer to milk than almost any
other common food mot ‘ri zl.

UNION LAMOB UPI! ELM.
Justice Bradley's Decision to the Interna-
clonal CIgarmakua' Labor Case.
Bunaw. Jan. 20.—Justice Bradley of
the Supreme Court has handed down his
decision in the case of the Cigarmakeru'
International Union against Gen. '1'.
Fisher of Buffalo, appealed from the de.
cision of Justice King. The former de.
cision of conviction is affirmed, and Fish-
er must pay his 850 fine, or go to the
penitentiary.
Fisher was convicted of the offense of
counterfeiting the cigarmakers’ blue
label, a special trade mark devised by
the International Union to be affixed to
all boxes of union-made cigars. This
decision will give the union authority to
prosecute all infringers of their label,
and it is a clear victory for union labor.

CIINSOLIDA‘I'ED STOCK STILL 80A“-
1240.
Gold]: of the Street About II.
In New York last week 109 shares of
the Consolidated road sold at prices run'
ning up tu “'55, which was paid for one
lot of five shares. Stockton! lrrs about
here are to serious meditation. Strangely
enough they all want to sell when it
reaches the top, and they are trying to
find where that is. “Sell out now, right
away. take 250 if you can get It, and
you’ll never be sorry," said one spectator
who has none. “Hold on for 2'25, ” says
a stockholder who is waiting for the top
figure. "The Standard Oil people can
afford to give 800." And scopinionsclif’
fer.
No one knows, with the unlimited na—
ture of the proposed plan, what the man—
agement will do, and so a large element
of guess comes in. it is believed, as a
matter of course, that the stockholders
will receive gratis their pro rata share of
the stock in the company' s treasury.
These may be equivalent in value to a
W per cent. cash dividend. Then stock-
holders will be allowed at per to take
stock enough to pay off the floating debt
whatever that may be, perhaps oneehare
for three old, though that seems rather
liberal. Then will come further issues
for stock of other roads—an increase
which lessens the proportionate interest
of present holders, but bringsthem in
nothing. If this teens is tothe company’ a
advantage it helpeall; if to theadvantagc
of the holders of other lines it Is to the
damage of those already' In.
The intimation has-been made that the
exchange would be upon a dividend
basis. The Consolidated is assumed to
pay 10 per cent, the Valley pays 4.
Then two shares of Consolidated stock
will take up five shares of Valley. And
so with the rest. But to each case the
chief justice is to decide whether it’s a
fair trade, and if not how it should be
adjusted.
done brings an nncdrtainly also into the
stock's value that is a new thing in its
history. The chance of future lanes at
any time will keep the possibility of a
new boom in eight; and the question
whether dividends can he kept up adds
vile interesting weight to the problem.

nrroruxn AND SWIM HARRY.
Their lteiatloaship invented by an Acct
dent Twenty Years Afterwards.
Robert and Gertie Barry, living at
Williamsburg, N. Y... have juatdiacover-
ed that, though they have been married
since the spring of 1870, they are broth-
er and sister. They have had two
children, both of whom are dead. They
are light mulattoes, and they are in
good circumstances. They were separ-
ated by a change of masters when
they were slaves and the startling
fact of their relationship was made
known to them by accident a few days
ago. Mrs. Barry was left a sum of mon-
ey by some one in the South, and to pro-
cure it she was compelled to submit to a
detailed identification. Through corner
pondence she learned that her maiden
name was Barry. When she informed
her husband they recalled incidents of
their youth which clearly proved that
they were brother and sister.
Oyster Business Ball at Fair Haven.
Business is very slow among the Fair
llsven oyster dealers and the some con-
dition seems to prevail among the deal»
ere all over the United States. One deal-
er in the west who heretofore has handle
ed 600 gallons a day cells only 200 at
present. The weather has been alto—
gether too warm for selling oysters, but «
unusually good for catching them. The
dealers notice that when the weather is
cold and there is snow on the ground
oysters sell well. The southern oyster
is better this year than it has been be.
fore in over twenty years. So say the
old oystermen. and this probably ac»
counts for the dullness of the northern
market. The Fair Haven openers have
recently worked only about two or three
hours each day. They work until the
orders are filled and then stop work.
When the steamers have gone out to the
beds they have brought in land: of from
600 to 1,000 bushels, enough to fill orders
for three days. The rest of the time the
steamers have beenst work catchingetar
fish by means of dredging with a patent
contrivance provided with a knife which
scrapes along the bottom and a bug
about four inches above the knife. The
oysters are stirred up, but being heavy
they drop back, while the star fish fall
into the bag or net. A steamer can
catch from ten to sixty bushels and some»
times they catch 100 bushels of our fish
in a day. Most of the uystermen about
here put the fish into a barrel and turn
on steam through a hose attached (to the
boiler. The dead fish are thrown over-
board. In some places the fish are
brought ashore for the farmers who use
them in fertilizing.
There is a vast difference in the oysters
that are taken from the beds about here.
Some are one-third sheik and some of
them consist of about one-half shells.
From 1,000 bushels the dealers get about
.500 gallons of oysters. As a rule, the
meals this year are not as large as usual.
