VIOLENT STORM AT BLAKENEY A Blakeney (Gloucestershire) correspondent telegraphs:—The unsettled weather which has prevailed here culminated at noon to-day in a storm of unparalleled soverity. Rain fell in tor- rents, flooding the houses and streets, and the downpour was accompanied by vivid lightning ahd heavy thunder. This was followed by a tornado, which swept over the district, carrying before it timber, fruit trees, chimneys, lead, iron roofing, and a variety of moveable property, including several beehives. Great consternation prevailed.

Appearances are Deceiving. The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph tells the following story:—In a Prater restaurant a few evenings ago a young and clean- shaven man was seated alone at a table with a glass of beer before him. Three men came in and sat down at the same table. They though the beardless youth was a Jew, and began to annoy him. For some time he kept perfectly quiet and pretended not to notice them. As they continued to nrtiuse themselves, suddenly he sprang up and faced the three, who had risen simultaneously; Without saying a word he placed himself in a boxing attitude, and in a few seconds the three Jew"-baiters lay in a heap on the floor with their faces bruised. On recovering they left the place. The young man sat down and called for more beer. tifl-is an English jockey, Mm winner of several of this season's races in Vienna.

MORNING GALLOPS OF THE DERBY HORSES. EPSOM, TuMDAY. With a lot of folks having taken up a temporary resi- dence in Epsom, it was not surprising to find a large company assembled on the Downj this morning to witness the work of the Derby horses already on the Spot. The morning was gloriously fine, but with La Fleche not having left Kingsclere, and Bonavista and St. Damien also at their training quarters, the work was to a certain extent lacking iu interest. The days have gone by when important gallops were given to horses on race courses, and, consequently, the business this morniug was principally confined to healthy half- speed gallops. The Stanton trained candidate, Sir Hugo, was about the fitft to make his appearance, and after cantering with Cuttlestone Bud Berwyn he covered the Derby course at a fair pace, being ridden by Allsopp. He looked and moved well, and has evidently come on a tat since he ran in the Two Thousand Guineas. Rueil. ridden by T. Lane, cantered with Reverenl, after which be went the course at a rattling good pace, and his gallop was generally voted the best of the morning, and, j udgiug from his appearanae, he is likely to render t M)( Movount of himself. Llanthony, at t Blow Dane, iu company with Ben-v-Glass, Fred Bxrrett being on til# v crack, went the Derby course, but he did not seem 4* greatly please the onlookers. El Diablo, nfter a eouyte of sharp canters, cantered the Derby track. The horse ■' looks wonderfully woll, and he will render a muok better acoouut of himself than he did in the Two Thousand. Thessalian, after a couple of canters, was sent It miie at three-part's %eed, and the colt seems to have gone on in the right ww, and made many new friends. The French colt, Bucentaur, who did not arrive until late last night, was ¡¡:iveu walking exercise in the paddocks, adjoining Holt's s'abie.

It has been decided that R Chaloner shall ride IJJt Damien in the Derby.

RESCUE IN MID-OCEAN. Foundering of a Swedish Barque. NEW YORK, Tuesday (Dalziel). — The steamer Amsterdam has arrived here, bring- ing the crew of the Swedish barque Signe, which left Antwerp on May 1 for Pictou, Nova Scotia. The Signe sprang a leak in mid-ocean on the 23rd. which increased so rapidly that the pumps were useless in check- ing it. The lifeboats were destroyed by accidents, and the captain and crew stayed all night on the sinking vessel, expecting that she would .4.u>Xn at any moment. The Amsterdam, which nad sighted some of the ockets fired, came to the rescue, and sent Oats to the Signe, which sank in half an our after the crew were taken oif.

SERIOUS FIRE AT PARIS. A Granary Burned Down. PABM, Tuesday (Dalziel).—A serious fire broke out at 11.30 last night in the granary of the Paris General Omnibus Company. The Garde Republicaine, stationed at the neigh- bouring barracks, were quickly on the spot, but were unable to render assistance with the handpump at their disposal. Nearly all the i'iris tire-engines had gone to the fire at Corbeil- Owing to the combustible nature of the contents of the granary, the flames spread with great rapidity and threatened to destroy the whole of the vast premises. Eight hundred horses had to be hurriedly removed from the adjoining stables, which, seemed likely to catch fire. The arrival of a strong force of firemen and engines prevented this, however, but the whole of the granary was a heap of smouldering ruins, the walls threaten- ing every minute to fall in. The losses are estimated at 500,000 francs. Fortunately, no jne was injured.

GREAT GLOVE FIGHT FOR £2,000. PETER JACKSON V. FRANK SLA VIN. A Stubborn Battle- I The scene at. the National Sporting Club on I Monday night reminded one forcibly of the even- ing of November 11, 1890, when Eotet- J»okson met, and defeated our mucii-vaunved clmrpi< n Jem Smith at the defunct Pglican. Then, as I,OJ, the black came off the victor, and never was a success more popular than that which Jackson on Monday evening gained over his old rival, Frank Slavin. The rows of seats in the handsorre theatre at the Covent Garden structure were filled by a large and thoroughly representative company, who took the greatest amount of in- terest in n contest which is without parallel in the history ofmodern-day boxing. Jackson was for- merly the tutor of Siuvin, and, although a native of the West Indies, he has spent the greater part ofhishteinAustrnlia. The present match was the outcome of an old quarrel between the pair, but for five years past all efforts to bring them together in the nng had been unavailing, until the National Spirting Oiub stepped into the breach and offered a. purse of £2,000, of which the winner takes £1,750. Twenty rounds were the stipulated number, but in the Jbrisk speculation that ensued prior to the contest in the outside circles a lot of money was bet that the men would not go four rounds. Slavin, who trained at Dovercourt with his brother Jack, looked in the pink of condition, and before they entered the ring odds of 6 to 4 were freely laid on him. He weighed 13st. 31b. Jackson, who scaled 101b. heavier than his rival, did his work at Brighton, where he was reported to have gone amiss about ten days 111;0, and, although there was a certain smftunt of truth in this, he judiciously eased lately, and he came up to the scratch in grand trim. The battle was a terrific one, and that the better man won there is not the slightest doubt. Slavin, knowing the class of man opposed to him, did not box ItS usual, and his rushing tactics gave place to cautious sparring. When it came to out- fighting, however, Slavin was no match for his rival, who displayed wonderful science. Jackson utilised his extra reach to good advan- tage, but for a very long time the issue hung in the balance. Once ho had the opportunity, however, Jacksoh never gave his opponent a chance, and eariyinthe tenth round he had Siavio at his mercy, and, though the Ialterstood up manfully when his chances were hopelesf, Jackson stuck to him and knocked him out withiu a minute of the close of the round. Appended will bo found full details of the contest:— Round 1.—It was 11.43p.tu. exactly when time was called, and, taking the middle of the ring, Jncksoll appeared a much bigger rftan thin his rival. Natu- ralJy. both were pretty cautious, nnd it W1JS some time before anything was done. At last Jaeksou ied li»litly with the left on the chest, and Slavin doing nothing ill response, he repeated the dose. Theil the white man woke up a bit and got the right 011 the bouy. and, getting to close quarters on the ropes, the referee had to order Slavin not to hold. III the iirst Imlf minute hardly a blow was struck with any force behind it, but afterwards Jackson used his left finely, ani, geLting home on mouth find. body rather heavily, he had somewhat the best of a light bout. Hound 2.—On this OCcasiotl the two lost no t.ime in getting to business, and. hlLvlnggaugeù ea"h otbel's style pntty well, they at once rushe t w close quarterô. JItCIcWII was the first to gl-t to work with a stinging left-hander on the mouth. Slavin, though, agiiin cuddled his rival round the neck, for wbich he once tnore courted 1\ reminder from the referee. Breakiui away, some very fine excha- ges took place in the Centre of the arena, Jackson, though, hit harder and straighter than R5I antagonist, and fm. a lime he hatd all the best of Si. This state of affairs continued for some time, when Slavin, suddenly taking in the situation, Went after Jackson, and the latter was the reci- pient of one or two hot right-handers ill the ribs, which certainly did him no good. Peter, though, never allowed himself to be tlurried, and. making good usee; !,i! head, he avoided the othpr's rushes very finely, lit! again wound up with 1\ s'ight advantage. Round 3 was 1\ pretty busy one throughout. Mr, Angle at the statt had to cali for silence, and then, when the men left their corners, Slavin, who evidently meant. business, went aftei" his A/ltagonist, aim jjnt the lefl. home with good effect OP the face and chest, alld directly afterwards he swung the right round viciously, but; luoldly for Jackson, he dodged out ot the way, and the blow ntiseed its mark. Then the black went, in to force the work, and more than held his own until just at the end, when Slavin caught him a nasty right on the side of the head. Round 4.—The exertions had evidently told greatly on both, but still neither showed any inclillation to take a brea.t.ber, and. the paoe ail through Wø.8 pretty wllrm. Slavin displayed more anxiety than before. and. after shifting abuut alld dodg¡lwa lot, he shot out the left IInd reached Jackson's forehead. A minute passed without anything of note transpiring, but here Jackson got to close quarters, and twite lan.ied the right heavily ill the lower l'ej(ions. 1.rben JnuksOn missed a very good chance while Blavin was on the retreat, but he made ample amends In the last, half tnlllut.8, when he fairly turned hlitviu half VDund with a couple of thick right-handers on the side of the head. Round 5 was of a very even character. Slavin, who showed rather mOle signs of wear than the black, tattled l1V grandly, and as Jackson, nothing loth joined issue, a wie bout was the result. The punishment givenl\l1d received by both was terrific, allll in a stvere round there was very little in it. Round 6.—Slavin took the initiative throughout the greater porMon of the three minutes, and ill the first half he put ill some heavy work on the bolly with both hand3. Once or twice lie liried to get Jackson in a corner, but the latter, being tricky on his feet, dodged him, although just bllfore they went to their seats Mlavin landed two fine rights on the jaw. Hound 1.-Again a change came over the scene, for this time JaOkson gave his opponent no rest, although the latter, after being receiver-general for over two minutes, woke 1If) towards the end. Hound 8 really proved the turning point of the battle, for in some grand exchanges Jackson always had the best of the bu$Ïlless, and his snppOlters appeared 011 good term. With themselves. When the men came up for Hound 9 Slavin left his comer with his left. eye almost closed, but he never relaxed his efforts. Peter calmly waited for him, and then drove him away with II. straight left, and, twice crossing Slavin with the right, the latter found time a welcome relief. Round 10 and last,-By t,his time little donut was Ien R8 to the ultimate issue, lor iiaviri was, to atiintetttsand purposes, a beaten man. For half a minute SUvin made the semblance of II show, but suddenly Jackson, with a terrific punch 011 the throat, anzed tslnvin, and the latter fell I lick 011 the roDoS. JaekSdi give him 110 quarter, but Sltvin was qllite unable to detend himself, and, although for a time he kept his feet, Jackson, who punished him severely, sent him to the boards when only half a minute was required to complete the bout, Here Slavin laid until the ten seconds were counted off. and amidst a 50 He of the wildest enthusiasm Jackwl1 was declared the winner. Mr. lI. J, Angle was referee, aud Mr, Torn Anderson timekeeper..Lord 1,onsdal". was timekepuer tor Jackson, and Mr, George Piesse for Slavin. Parson Davies and Joe Choynskt s-Conded Jackson, and Jack Slavin, Tom Williams, and Tom Burrows looked after Bhvin. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Not for a Jong time past has any glove fight in this country excited so much interest as the one decided last night at the National Sporting Club, Covent Garden, London, between Frank Slavin and Peter Jackson. A keen rivalry has for several years existed between the two men and the offer of a big purse by the club, which since the break- ing up of the Pelican has had practically the monopoly of this form of sport in the west-end of London, furnished a convenient opportunity for settling the long-disputed question of superiority. Slavin and Jackson are so well-known to all followers of boxing that there is no need to go into long details of their performances. Slavin's English reputation dates from the night that he met and defeated Bill Goode at Astley's Theatre. At that time English boxers knew tittle or nothing of his powers, or he assuredly would not have seemed a match against a man so inferior to himself in height, weight, and reach as Goode. The latter made a gallant struggle, but he had no chance. Since then Slavin has occupied a very prominent place in the boxing world, and readers who take an interest in such matters will scarcely need to be told of his meet- ing with Jem Smith with bar<3 knuckles at Bruges, when the disgraceful conduct of a section of the onlookers roobed him of an assured victory, or of his quickly gained triumph in a glove fight over M'Auliffe at the Ormonde Club. Whatever may be thought of Slavin as a boxer, the opinion is almost unanimous that he is a very fine fighter under present day con- ditions, gifted as he is with immense physical strength and vitality. Jackson, like Slavin,gained his experience of boxing in Australia, and it is said that he and his last night's opponent once stood in the relation of master and pupil. A great deal more was knolva of htm than of his rival when he first came to this country, and ho had no opportunity of getting on such a match as that fought by Slavin against Goode. He has on many occasions given displays of boxing here, but as a glove fighter we in England know him by his contest with Jem Smith at the Pelican Club. On that occasion Jackson was winning hand overhand, when Smith forfeited the fight, by a deliberate foul. The theatre in the National Sporting Club was crowded long before the time set apart for the big event of the evening, and to while away the time a couple of exhibition spars were indulged iu, the lirst by William* the Australian, and Burrows, and the second by two ex-amateurs, White and Bowman. Previous to Slavin and Jackson step- I ping into the ring, Lord Loudesborougb, the pre- I sident of the club, addressed the company at j some length on the object which the club had in promoting the sport of boxing in bringing together the best pugilists available. The purse contended for, it may be mentioned, amounted to £2,000, the proportion, we believe, being £1,750 for the winner and je250 for the oøer. Before going into any description it may be said at once that the fighting, considering the weight and strength of the men, far exceeded all expectations, the tenth round of three minutes having nearly expired before the end was reached. Slavin was giving away 10lb., his weight being 13st. 31b. as against Jackson's 13st. 131b. It must have been close upon half-past eleven when, all being in readiness, the fight commenced. Slavin was seconded by Williams, Burrows, and his brother, Jack Slavin, and Jackson by Choynski and "Parson" Davies. Mr B. J. Angle was referee. Round 1. The two men naturally eyed one another cautiously on commencing together, and sparred for an opening. Even from the first, however, Slavin played entirely for the chance of the body blows, aiul oil get,tint; to close quarters tie had to be cautioned two or turee times for holding. No great har," was done in ti e iirst, round, though the men were always close together, but Jackson got home one good left-hander on the side of the head. Hound 2. The pace in this round was very much faster than before, Jackson seeming to tuke Slavin quite bv surprise, and getting home three times in the face. There was again a tendency to hugging, but the men were always parted directly the referee's voice was heard. Jacktou, ereu thus early, showed himself in- comparably the belter boxer of the two, showing singular clev rness in getting away and carefully avoiding Slavin'sdangerous body blow. Hound 3. On coming up for this round neither man showed much sign of punishment, but were a little quieter and steadier than before. Jackson reached Slavin's face three or lour times with straight, left- handers, and then there were some very quick ex- changes. Just at the end of the round Bluvin got home a stinging blow on tha side of Jackson's head. Hound 4. This round went to an even greater degree in favour of Jackson, who, even in the earlier part of the light showed that his science was more than a match for Slavin's strength. lie brought off repeated hits in the tnce with his left, and all through the round boxed superbly. A good many peopie had supposed that by this time the tight, would have been over, and the ex- citement materially became greater and greater as it was ieen that the men were still fresh. Round 5. When Slavin stepped up to renew the fight it was seen that he was bleeding from his leit cheek and left elll". lie was still full of fight, however, and getting to close quarters almost at once, he had for a time- the best of the exchanges, bringing off three pretty heavy blows. Jackson, however, seemed in no way discon- certed, and, sparring with undiminished skill, delivered a straight hit in the face before the round ended. No doubt could be felt by anyone who had matched the fight so far as to which was the better man of the two as far as skill was concerned, and it was evident that unless he could get some body blows of excep- tional force Slavin would be overmatched. Round 6. When the men faced each other again Jack- son cleverly avoided a savage blow of Slavin's, aud then got home twice. He was playing chiefly for the face, and Slavin began to show clear signs ot punishment. Just for a moment or two Slavin looked to be going weak, but he pulled himself together, and, fighting Jackson on to the ropes, landed two or three heavy body blows. Indeed at this point he looked to us more formidable than at any stage of the contest. Getting away from the ropes, however, Jackson was soon him- self again, and the rouno finished very evenly. Hound 7..Blood was trickling down Jackson's neck, but apart from this there, seemed little or nothing amiss with him. The .traight banders were as effective as ever, and six or seven times he reached Slavin's face, while at the same time he care- fully avoided the body hits whioh Slavin was always trying to bring off. Slavin stuck to his work with the utmost resolution, and scored two or three times tu- wards the end of the round, though not very heavily. Seven rounds having now been fought people began to Wonder how soon the end would come, and it was quite certain that such heavy mell would not be able to keep up the pace much longei. There was still a good deal of faith frit in Slavin's vitality and hitting powers, but it was quiie clear that, as regards cleverness he was utterly at fault. Hound 8. This was comparatively uneventful, con- sidering what they had gone through, Both mlln seemed fairly fresh, but the pace was not so fast as before, nor the blows so heavy. Slavin was always getting to close quarters in the hope of bringing off a knock out, but Jackson was alwnys too clever for iiiin. hound 9. Jackson came up apparently as well as ever, and, after cleverly avoiding one of Slavin's rushes, got home three or four times in the face. Slavin's left eye was damaged, and his face showed clear signs of the ontinuous straight left-handers he had been receiving. Just at the end Slavin had a good opening, but, though lie lauded on the body, the blow was not a very effec- tive one. Honnd 10 and last. In this round the contest came to a speedy and dramatic conclusion. Hardly had the men faced each other when it was clear that Slavin had gone very weak. Jackson, seeing his chance, at once fore d the fighting and home time after time in the face without a return. Berore he had blought off more than two or three hits it was Clear that the llgntwas over. Slavin had not a Wt left in him and appeared Utterly dazed. He moved towards his corner with his back to Jackson and then made one lust ineffectual ,.ffort to renew the contest. Jackson followed him np. and, with two or three more blows, sent him to the ground helpless. Jackson stood over his opponent for the requisite ten seconds, and then a tremendous cheer from the crowded building pro- claimed his victory. That the better man won on last night's form there cannot possibly be two opinions. Baulked in trying the body blows which were his stock- in-trade as a glove fighter, Slavin had no chance against his more skilful rival. Peter Jackson returned to Brighton this morn- ing, looking no worse for last night's encounter with Slavin.

TED PRITCHARD AND JEM HALL MATCHED FOR £2,000. Accoiding to appointment the backers of these men met yesterday at the Spotting Life Office, and after a short consultation a match was made to box at list 6Sb, for £1,000 a-side, to come off in linglandin I waive weeks' tltnc, at the club offering the biggest purse. There were present at the meeting Geo. W. Moore aou Me B. Peel (who each on Friday night deposited £100 to bind the match, the former backing the Australian), Messrs. Charles E. Davios, Charles Mitchell, J. Mack (Aus- tralian), Hassell (Sydney), Joe Choynski, Charles Beckwith, jun., &i\ Mr. Davies wished Lttie match to take place at the club offering the biggest purses in England or America, on the ground that while 12,000 dollars would be forthcoming in the United States, probably only half that amount would be offered in J:c:ngl>1Uù. Alr. Peel said that Pritchard could fight in America if he liked, but in that case he should not think of posting £1,000 on the result, and the contest would have to be for a purse only. There was some discussion over the time of weighing, Mitchell claiming for Hall that the men should scale at five p.m., but Mr. Peel objected, and finally it was agreed to weigh at a quarter past nine p.m,

PARALYSIS AND PARCEL POCKETING. A Futile Defence. At Westminster Police-court on Monday George Blanchard, 43, retired butler, and the proprietor of a lodging-house at Brompton-square, sur- rendered to his bill, on remand (before Mr. de Rutzen) to answer a charge of stealing two hair- brushes from the interior of one of the London General Omnibus Company's vehicles. Mr. D. Dutton defended.—About the facts there was no question. On Tuesday afternoon last priso was a passenger in a bus traversing the Brompton- road, and he occupied the right-hand corner seat near the door. The conductor had placed on the seat there a parcel containing two hair- brushes, intended as birthday present, to a son of obe of the company's officials. Shortly before Brompton-square was reached the conductor, noticing that tha parcel was gone, and that the prisoner's left-side pocket was bulky, asked him what lie meant by the appropriati<m of the brushes. Prisoner replied, "1 am very sorry. I don't know why I did it. I out a poor man and hard up. I WHS going to take the parcel to the police-station." Afterwards, when charged, he said he was sorry he did it; he had had a class of ale.—-Mr. Dutton said it was a regrettable fact that the prisoner made this statement, because it almost looked as if the defence which was set up had been devised by his friends. There was, however, no accounting for what a man might say when in trouble. De- fendant suffered from a terrible disease— croepin^ paralysis—aud this induced him to take up the conductor's parcel in mistake for one, of his own. A person in defendant's state lifted things almost unconsciously, his sense of feeling being dulled.—Dr. John Dewar, of 132, Sloane- street, said he had attended prisoner professionally about two years ago for locomotor ataxy. It was a disease of the spinal cord, affecting the armskand legs.-Mr. Dutton A man like the prisoner might pick up anything and hardly be aware of it.-Dr. Dewar: The effect of the disease is to blunt the muscular sensibility. A man would feel some- thing in his hand, but not be aware of the shape or consistency of the article he grasped.—Mr. de Rutzen: Do you say.doctorthat one of the symptoms of this disease is to put anything belonging to other people into your pocket? (Laughter.—Witness: Ob, no; I don't think there is anything of kleptc8 mania about it.-The Magistrate: I think the leBs we mention that very abstruse question the better. -Mr. Dutton said he only put it that the defen- dant caught up the wrong parcel.—Witnesses, gentlemen living in his house, gave the defendant the highest of characters; and Mr. de Rutzen said on this account he would take the somewhat un- usual course of binding the defendant over in his own recognisances to come up for judgment if called upon. He (the magistrate) had ao doubt the defendant regarded the parcel as lett by some- one, and his worship added, "Perhaps this will make you careful to avoid the mistake of pocket- ing things which don't belong to you." SUICIDE OF A NEWSBOY. Ti e Result of Pernicious Literature. Ernest Jone?, 14, newsboy at Oldham Station, committed suicide last night by throwing himself under a train.

The Ynyshir Outrage, o— THE ARREST OF PUGH. After the Outraged A CONFESSION. [SPECIAL Ti.LHGRAM TO TKli EVENING KXPHKSS."] Considerable excitement wa" caused in Ponty- pridd and dis: riet, this morning by tin' iriest of Edwin Pugii on a charge of having attempted to murder Or. Edwards, Ynyshir, and the circum- stances are of an extraordinary chaiacter. Owing to information feat by Mr. Superintendent, Jones, Pontypridd, to the Llantrisant Police-station Sergeant Hallet had ever since Friday night, kept a closp v, itch night and day on the hou2e of some peopio named Penhalurig, at Penygawsi, near Llaulrisant, as a son of that family lodged in Pugh's house at Ynyshir, and was with Pugh at the time the outrage was committed. Last night, 41bout nine o'clock, Sergeant Hallet for the first time got a sign of the prisoner's presence, and, directing Police-constablo Jones to guard the bark door, he entered the front door himself, and in the h,use found Pugh drinking from a jug of water1 Without anv resistance Pugh submitted to arre3t, and made a statement that as soon as he heard Dr. Edwards flay" Oh, oil," he (prisoner) started off, and, without calling anywhere, made his way to Llantrisant and into the depths of Hem-hole Wood, a veritable dark fore-t, inhabited only by game, and there hid himself and remained with- out food until about a quarter of an hour before his arrest. His haggard look confirmed this state- ment, and presently the sergeant gave him some food. The prisoner stated he had hidden in the woods the revolver with which he had shot the doctor, and also a dozen carsridges, and upon going to the place with prisoner the sergeant found the revolver, an ordinary six-chambered weapon of medium bore. Prisoner had. when arrested, just washed himself in the brook with a piece of soap, which he said he had picked up on the road. He stated that he had been in the wood the whole time, ond only ven- tured out that night because he was fainishing. The prisoner was brought to Pontypridd Police- station this morning by Sergeant Hailett, and will to-morrow (Wednesday) be brought before the stipendiary magistrate.

ANNUITIES. Are They Payable Out of Stock ? The House of Lords this aftemooa gave judg. ment in an appeal by the Gresham Life Assurance Company, who contended that they were not entirled to pay income taff o:i the amount paid by them on aouuiiifs, as it did not come out of profits and gains. The Divisional Court held that the annuities were paid out of profits, and the Court of Appeal affirmed that decision, but the House of Lords have reversed those judgments on the ground that annuities are payable out of stock and not out of business profits.
