II 11 mom us Railroad President.
The Nevada ai.ti On-con rail
ed road company, wh.ch undertook,
two or three year aiuce, tin con
strut'iiou of a r.itlio.ui funis JAVno
towards O.gon, is not prosper
ing. Somo time ftir.ee, says a San
Francisco dispatch of the 12lh, a
difficulty aro-e'biJtwrf n the man
agers, whiah " they attempted to
fcottle with revolveth and shotguns,
whereby the u 01 king force of the
board was materially reduced.
Ten miles of rails have been laid,
but nothing lias been done for a
eonsidorable time. The president
of the company, in aceoi .lance
with the laws of the suite of
Nevada, has now issued an annual
report, which is full of grim
humor. The nominal capital is
six millions but little of which
has been paid up. So the presi
dent says: "Tn consequence of
the chronic impecuniosity of the
corporation, it has not had enough
fund to comply with th' laws of
the state in relation to the Keeping
of actount books, as required by
law. As the officers ha e 1 eceived
no compensation sinoe they were
connected with the cmnpurn, but
have been compelled to find them
selves and woik for nothing, no
dividend has ever been declared
by this accur.-ed ccroraiiou, and
it is safe to bet none eer will be.
Foil nearly a monrh tJr K. V.
Sun and World have been givi'ij;
detailed accounts qf a gastiono.no
named Walcolf, who wr- ".ujj.-
ing speedy fame ly eating a b:-a"0
of quail everv da- -with the int n
tion ofcetitinuins: the ?onsnmplio:i
for lhirt tiny. This he did and
v.onone thouund hnjil dollars,
but no i telegraphed across the
continent the sad newb ti at he wa.c
picked uj drunk in Ghath:.m .-treer
and taken to I ho police court.
(fr.usr;ng i'v truth of th- imjwit
ant dispatch it is evident cruelty
tt. ive us in tort urine; doubt a to
why is' was drunk. Whellwr the
ract of hi tboiug i Chatham
street ( Inch is presumptive evi
dence against him) the posscbsion
of wealth, the accomplishment of
th gastronomic feat, or some oc
cult reason, is left but to the
imagination. The fact that he
asked the judge if he could eat
whip more birds would seem to
indicate that the thice score al
ready devouied had not unagreed
with him.
