“There is one suggestion l wuuld respect-
fully make to our luwgivcrs. instead of
keeping a convict locked up in prison until

should bcu system by which convicts, when
they had served bull or threwpmrtcrs of

bring is this: ’l‘llepnrtiai freedom existing

The rumor that the New York, New

has sold its holdings in the New York

An officer of the road said that the $100,-
000 of New England second mortgage
bonds have been disposed of to the New
England reorganization committee; that
all the friends of the Consolidated have
sold out also. The entire block amounted
to more than $1,000,000. Negotiations
for this sale have been pending for sev-
eral weeks, but could not be completed
until the whole pool was got together, as
all these bonds had been purchased at
the suggestion or on the advise of Presi-
dent Clark aud he insisted on protecting
his friends and those of the Consolidated.
The price paid is not given, but it is said
to have been an advantageous one to the
Consolidated.
