Siotx Cirv , la. , August' . ( Special Tele
gram to Ihc Hii : : | The work of the coroner's
Jury In the Haddock case will probably not
be completed for several days. All the pio-
recdliigs are with closed door * . A very laige
number of witnesses lime been examined ,
but llio public doei not evnu know who they
nrc. Theic Is something significant In all
this sct'iecy. The Hr.u correspondent was
Informed to-day that CJoveincr Larabeo win
present at the Investigation to-day , hut there
Is intich iionbt ns to this. One thing Is cer
tain , lr he Is here his visit Is kept very sertut.
Thus far no ariests have been made ,
although one man was taken Into custody nn
nil alleged charge , but In reality for the pur
pose ot .detaining him. Sherlll McDonald
has been busy telegraphing all over the coun
try notifying various officials of the murder ,
and lie has received several suggestive com
munications. One of these from t\ town in
Iowa , slates that a man was there Thuiday
morning answering the description of the
niait seen in the saloon just baforo the mur
der. Ills actions while theie made several
persons mistrust that something was wrong.
He inquired of the postmaster as to the news
from Sioux City , nnd also whether any ar
rests had been made. Ho had no bazgagc.
and by nupunmuco would easily bu taken fern
n gambler by profession.
Another dispatch from Neor.iska is as fol
lows : " - , Neb. , AugiHt 0. Deal-
Sir : A man came hero yesterday Irom the
Mioux City way and hired a team to go to
Wakellrld. He did not want a drive , and
said that lie would come back last night , and
that he wanted to bring a man with him.
He did not come , and not returning by noon
to-day a telegram was tent to see if thu team
was there. It was , but the man had taken a
train 1'ioni there , and went west. Ho was a
bliort , thick-set , smooth-faced man. Theie
was a cut on one side of the face , and I think
his weight Is about 1GO pounds. He woie a
'brown fiat , sray coat and vest. llslit ; pants
with dark streaks , and It is evident that he
wanted to getaway from this junction for
home cause. Iwiituthls to you thinking It
inav lie connected witli the Haddock mur
der. "
Itotlt of these inav Do parties connected
with tlio all'al'r. As these dispatches have
already Indicated , there is evidence that the
tragedy was the result of a conspiracy , and
this undoubtedly Is the reason why the
jury Is examining so many witnesses.
All tin ! saloonnien in the city \UI1 appear
ns witnesses and will have to testify as to
having any previous knowledge id the affair ,
A loailinz mover lu the injunction matter
ways that It has b'len discovered that It was
planned oncobefoio to kill the Itev. Had
dock by causing a disturbance at the court
house during the trial of thc-Iiijiinciion eases
and shoot film then. This evidently failed
1'or lack of nerve and hence the plan to assas
sinate him. From present indications the
ruwaid for the arre.st of the murderer will bo
increased to S5W > 0. as the temperance al-
llancesaf tlie state have signified a willing
ness to raise it to that amount. A committee
of .seven citizens has been appointed nt a
public meeting tn go to work soliciting funds
and everything Is inovlni : along to push mat
ters when the cjovo'nor's jury renders Its ver-
tUflV. Tlitflaw and order league held a meet-
lug to-night and n large number wore present.

when he. could get a shave and was told that
ho .would have to wait but a few minutes.
Jle. hesitated a little while and then stepped
to one of the pastel cases , picked up a razor
and commenced slashing at his own
throat. Inflicting deep and ugly
wounds extending tiom ear to
car. When Kuiiynn thought he had accom
plished his purpose and was sinking from the
loss of blood ho readied fn Ids pncket , drew
out some letters and handed them ( o the bar
ber. The physician found that no arteries
had been severed , and while llio gashes were
being sewed tin Kiinyan tried to live him-
elf , an 1 said no wanted to die. Mr. Clark
Kays that ICnnyan is a temperate young man
'and ' well connected. Itunyan seemed a llttlo
despondent while coming to the city , lint said
notmnir , and no good leason can notv be

Defending tlio Anarchists.
CIIICAOO , AiiKiiitT , In the anarchist ( rial
( hi * niornlii ! ; Samuel l-'ivldcii. on examina
tion by Poster , testified that he knew Bon-
lield ami denied that he told Bunlleld that bo
ran through Or.me's alley. On cross-examin
ation by luglmiu it was fchown that ricldon
was born In Kmiaiid ; and came to this couii'
try .it twenty-oiio years of ace. lie became
nn anaichl-it In isr-f. Witness never believed
In overliifiilnj. the Kovernnieiit by fnn.'o. Ho
lud made many speeches during the past
four years , but they were not always of a
socialistic or anardilstto tendency. Some
were strictly from the workwoman's stajnl-
jxiliit. Witness owned S3 wortli of
stock In tlio Alarm and w.w on the board ot
managers. He said ho wont to thu Aibcllcr
Xultuni , ' olllco on tlio evening of May ! about
ten minutes befoioSo'elock. Twelve or fif
teen members ot the American group Were
present. Ho remained theio until 0 o'cloclc.
Itwn4 then he ho.trd of thelarco meeting at
the llaymatket and that speakers were
needed. KielUeu was cross-examined in re-
Kant to Ids speech of that nl ltt. The rest of
his testimony wes unimportant , ns was also
that ot oilier witnesses for trio defense , A
it-cess was then taken.
The only testimony of any particular 1m-
uoitaiice was that of S. T. Ingram and John
Iturnct. The former witness swore that tlio
circular calllmc the Ilaymarket meetliic ,
which ho produced in court , was given him
on the street on the niu'lit ot May 4 , shortly
before theineetliiL' , took place. Tim circular
was one of those from which the words
"workliiLMiien , arm yourselves and appear in
forcu" had loii omitted. Tills was tlio only
elreiilarol that kind that has been presented
in evidence by the defense , which has been
pre em-d since the llaymarket Hot by wit
ness , who wan present at the nicotine. The
state presented as evidence a lot of circulars
taken from the Arbclter Xcituiu ; olllce from
which the words mentioned had not been
expunKOtl , and the defense has presented iv
number of revised ones , but till now no one
of them has been traced to the hands of an
eye witness of the riot who hail received it
fiom a distributor.
John Unmet Is an ordinary-looking younf ?
( iLMinnn , who said he was a candy maker.
lie was standing thirty-eight feet south ot
the eniranco to Crane's alley on the Haymar-
ket whim the bomb exploded.
The state's attorneys pricked up their ears
at mice.
"Did you see the bomb thrown ? "
" 1 did. "
"Did you see the man who threw the
bomb ! "
" 1 did. "
"How did he throw the bomb' ' Stand up
and show the jury how he did It. "
Witness stood up and went UiroitRh the
motion of throwing something Into the air ,
with bis right hand towaid the northwest.
Witness was then given a picturoofSclinaii-
belt.
belt."Is that the man you saw throw the bombV"
" 1 don't think it is. "
Tlio cross-examination was devoted to a
compaiison of witness' present statements
with those he made to the state's attorney
on May 7. Since that time witness had vis
ited the scene of the riot and taken ineusuie-
nients of the distances between the entrance
to thn alloy and where he stood and wlnro
the bomb thrower store. He bad them care
fully entered In a note book and were as
nearly the same as those given the state's at
torney as could be expected , taking into con
sideration the night was dark and witness'
memory unaided. The state has claimed that
the bomb was thrown from very near the en
trance to the alley. Burnet's testlmonymakes
the spot further south by nearly thirty foe.t.
The cross-examination was. concluded sOUie-
what dramatically by the state's 'atlorrtb\as' :
follows , after which the court adjourned till

any hunter. On the way up I met with
plenty of smnll giiine , and on two occa
sions saw the tracks of boars , bill no in
cident worth recording happened until I
had been two days on the site selected for
I ho camp. With mv axe 1 cleared away
n place for flip buildings , blitxed thn way
to a spring , and cut down a number of
small pines to be ready for llrowood
When winter and the men arrived. The
supplies wcro to be run in from Aluiiumi *
nee. forty miles away , and as soon as my
work was finished at the camp site 1 waste
to haul the skill'asliore. . sling my pack ,
and bhr/.c n road through the wilderness
for the teams to follow.
I hud a small tent with mo , plenty of
good provisions , and the first two or
three days and nighls passed without
alarm. On the afternoon of the third
day , while 1 was prospecting along the
river to ascertain its depth , width , etc. , a
black bear visited my lent and carried oil'
a smoked ham J had brought with me.
Ho. also tore open the sugar bag and
wasted most of its contents. I followed
him for half a mile or so by his tracks ,
but then lost Ids trail. That same night ,
as 1 sat smoking at the door of my tent ,
1 heard the cry of a panther from a
jungle across the river. There was no
mistaking the sound. The man who has
ever listened to the long-drawn scream of
a panther will never confound it with the
cry of any other wild beast. This lollow
screamed out three or four times , with an
interval of about live minutes between
the screams , and then he was suddenly
answered by his im'te , who was on my
side of the stream and apparently not
more than twenty rods away. I've had
to do with various wild beasts in my time ,
and I never knew anything to weaken n
dog like thu yell of a panther. That dog
of mine wouldn't have hesitated a mo
ment to attack a bear or wolf , but the
yells of those panthers made a coward of
nun in no time. lie crawled into the
tent , and 1 could neither coax nor drive
him out. However , 1 didn't blame him
so. very much , for every yell sent the
shivers climbing up my spine in a way to
make me ashamcjl 01 myself , i heaped
on the wood until 1 had a bis fire , and
after the beasts had called to each othern
few times they coajjjd screaming , and the
woods were as silent asia graveyard. In
'
about an hour the dop rbgained'his cour
age and came out of the tent and began
smiling around. 15-j' and by some small
animal ran across tlicopeii ground in our
front , and the dosf. iiUerca a bark and
dashed after it. , t hqard him rushing
through the woods Jor two or three min
utes , and was about/to whistle him to re
turn when there wnfc one loud , fierce yell
from one of the parahew , a yelp of terror
from the dog , and 1'Kn.ow ' that ho was a
goner. I whistled atuLcalled , but I had
seen him for the law tiinc. ,
1 got but little sltep that iii'glit , feeling
that I was at the , , > ncr/jyof. the beasts li
tlmy had a mind to"att'ulc.Directly { after
breakfast I started out in the direction
the dog had takeiHund after traveling
about two J Jimtth-diTf and fifty feet ;
I came upon the- pot vliere ho had met ,
his death , I think ; the panther'liad leaped
down on him from a treu'Mind secured a
great advantage , for there had been no
struggle. The nine con'es were splashed
with' blood , anu tufts of hair could be
found here and thnro where the dog was
dragged oil' in the direction of the stream.
1 had with me a double-barreled shot
gun and a revolver , and I determined to
revenge old Tiger's death. I had noticed ,
a big heai of driftwood n sliort distance
up the river , and on the oilier side , and
from this heap a fallen tree bridged the
stream. When 1 came to inspect this tree
I found more blood and tufts of hair , and
it was ulain that the dog's body had been
curried across to some den in the drift
wood. I crossed by the log and mounted
the heap. It was composed of limbs ,
trunks nnd dead logs , which had been
flung there on the low ground in high
water. It looked like a good place for a
panther's den , and as I carefully moved
about I hold tlin gun ready for a shot.
Aly idea was to descend the heap and
look for the opening of the den , but I de
scended jn a manner entirely unlooKe.il
for. A limb suddenly gave way under
* my feet , and I went crashing down
through the pile , which at that spot con
tained a hollow as big as an ordinary
.bedroom. Both barrels of the gun ex
ploded as I fell , and the gun was lost
front my grasp. 1 landed in a heap on
the ground , surrounded by broken
branches , and enough daylight came
down to enable me to see what sort of a
place 1 had fallen into. It would bo no
great job to climb otit , and I was about
m'aking a move in that direction when 1
heard the faint squeals and squeaks of
kittens , and looked down to find a pair of
wee little panthers almost under my feet.
Scattered around were bones and pieces
of flesh to tell the fate of old Tiger. 1
was in n panther'H den , and as I rcali/ed
it my heart jumped into my throat until
itVeemud as if I could not get my breath ,
f Was thoroughly rattled and ready to
run , nnd for two or three minutes I made
frantio eflbrts to clamber out. As fast as
I reached a limb it broke under my
wpiclit and lot mu down again , but I was
still trying when I hoard one of those
panthers yell out. It wasn't the cry of
the previous night , but a snarl of ragi
and I knew 1 was to bo attacked. Now ,
for what followed 1 have received the
credit of being a very bravo man , but J
.am ready to confess that ! never felt my-
.flclf more ofa * cowiuM. I was nt bay , and
"cowards will fightf ) vbrm driven to the
wall. I just bent dwuiovor those cubs ,
drew my revolver , nndJn about n minute
I caught sight of ir-vanUior's head us she
worked her wny in thixbugh the drift. I
took quick aim ailrt'let her liavo U , and
.Shu didn't kick half 'rf dozen tunes. 1
knew the other oiui.WiK around there
somewhere , and I didn't have over three
minutes to wait. Jli'uUiuno ' for mo by a
difleront route , andho was almost noon
me before 1 fired the ahbt which finished
him. ' °
The kittens wore * About two weeks old.
and after the old ohes'lmd ' been finished I
knocked the little Ortts in the head.
When I returned to-tyiawano 1 carried
the paws to provo tiuf ( I had destroyed
fo-ir panthers , and , ii-'ttl told you , I got
tin. credit of being it iJkm-heartcd Nun-
rot I deserved not onto word of praise.
I simply had the nerve to use ray revolver
ver when pinched , and the killing of the
first beast by one bullet was simply a
lucky shot.

He had a "slory" for me , and hero It is
for the entertainment of readers who may
like to see tlio handiwork of a millionaire
turned newspaper man :
"For forty years , " so the story bcj11 ' !
"JamesV. . Pearce had been working
hard for n living. ( Jood fortune had
never attended him. Industrious nnd
sober and frugal , all these he had been ,
1ml somehow the dollars had never piled
up in his hands. Men do not dig graves
in Greenwood cemeti'ry tor fun ; that is
how .lames Pearce has been lately earn-
iim his living the living of self , wife
and three children. At $ t.60 a day men
do not hasten to yc.t rich , and no penny
has chanced to roll across the Pearce
tlnc hold nnd failed to llnd thuro at least
a dojen needs awaiting it.
"Vet James IVareo's house was filled
with hosts of people cougratu'ating ' him
lait night. He was suddenly become a
millionaire. He hiin.-elf announced It.
He ollered rcil-tapi-d documents to prove
it. Nobodv doubted It. Kverybody was
in ecstasy , excitedly enthusiastic every
body but dames Pearoe. That same stolid
matter-of-faot , tdollar-and-a-half-a-ilav ;
look that has attended his grave digging
toil Mill sat on his countenance. Iseigh-
bors howled with delitrht over his good
fortune ho alone seemed carolet-s
) - , un
moved , not daxed. The newsof his great
good fortune came in u letter that the
postman left at the humble home , No.
( lilt Sixth avenue , in South Brooklyn ,
just at breakfast time ; but unexpected
and astonishing it was , tilled with sueh
wonderful promises as it was , James
Pearpo did not allow himself to for
get the practical duties before him ;
he simply tucked the letter behind the
little clock on the mantel anu went at his
usual early hours on his usual tramp up
to Groomyood ; and there all day long
under a blistering HUH , with the thermom
eter boiling up above 1110 , ho swung u
heavy pickaxe and threw spadeful on
spadeful of earth high up over tlio nar
row edge.s _ ot the graves that huduir. No
man in all the land worked harder ;
no man was more tired when dually ,
the day ended and bent under the bur
den of hisday's wearing work , he trudged
out of this eemeterv ami home.
"James Pearce. Irish born , is over lifly
years old. Hi > came over tlio waters be-
frtro he was out. of Ids Icons : here lie mar
ried and here he lias lived and toiled ,
\\itli not much to encourage him , ever
since. He left behind him , when he
sailed hither , a brother in Ireland , a lad
older , more daring , belter schooled than
himself. Politics had claims for the
brother , ami for a little while , pushed
forward in Ids youthful enthusiasm at an
exciting time in Ireland , ho was conspic
uous as a patriot in whom the people
swore ardent faith. lint pojitical careers
have had stranto turnings in the land of
Dan O'Conniill , and one day a British
magnate took yoiimr Pearce first to court
and then out of the empire. He was
transported. He was an exile , lloiniirht
never return. He was set down in Aus
tralia to shift for himself. An eventful
career followed. A sheen-raising mag
nate was captivated by the fluent longued
young Irishman , and. dying , left him his
lieir , the controller of millions of money.
A year ago ho sent to New York and
sought intelligence of the whereabouts
and the condition of his younger brother ,
and a month ago his agent was able to
establish Junica' identity. But no hint
was dropped here of the rich man's pur
pose ; James 1'earcn kept on at his grave
digginjr , unespeetant of the romance
that was budding , the countless dollars
getting on edge that wore ready to roll
right into his grasp. He never even
guessed of the wonderful change in his
brother's estate , if indeed he got a single
inkling that that brother was still alive.
"Now , suddenly the Australian brother
'
dies dick atid 'makes by written will
James Pearce Ins sole heir. And the es
tate is worth over $7,000,000. " .
That strikes me as a pretty good slory
and I guess 1 did not indulge in an un
warrantable ( lattery when i told my mil
lionaire that if he ever needed a dinner
he could earn it down here on newspaper
row.
row.Hut there is a rule in the Times ollicc
a rule bristling with thorns sometimes
when facts won't rhyme that requires
the careful confirmation of all reports be
fore they ean go into typo , and so my
millionaire was a little doubtful whether
Pearce was Frederick or was James as ho
wrote it over the bridge and- away out
to the depths of South Urooklyn I' went
to find the Pearce family and join in the
neighborhood's jubilation. I found the
house , I found the Pcarccs , 1 found en
thusiastic people ; but -sad the discovery !
L found , too , reasons for revising my
millionaire's story somewhat. High up
on the top floor of a tenement 1 sat down
with Jlr. Pearco. who told me he could
neither read nor write.
"Yis , " said he , "it's true that you say.
I'm a ticttin" nigh on to eight millions o'
dollars J'vo knowed it for some time
now , but "
Mr. Pearce's narrative continued , with
his vernacular slightly edited , ran in this
fashion : He had received.anolicc telling
him of his new wealth , but ho didn't
know whom tlio notice was from. It
told him that iiis brother had died and
left him between $7.000.000 anil 8,000,000
out in Australia. That was a big nile ot
money , agreed Mr. Pearce , and some
time , lie said , when he had tlio chance , he
was going to look into the matler : there
was only one thing in the story that he
tlid not finite understand. His brother ,
ho was sure , hail never gone to Australia ;
his brother had boon trans
ported ; his brother and Mr.
Pearce showed that he felt a
little pn/.x.led in fact , Mr. Pearce con
fessed that ho never had n brother. This
waa unpleasant news to me ; 1 began to
feel as It thn sovou millions were a per
sonal loss of my own : only a newspaper
man can appreciate that bcnsu of Borrow
which comes when n comely nnd uxelu-
sive story is knocikcd in this way all to
Krnithimiuns : "No brother at all ? "
There was sadnits : * enough in that for anew
now Jeremiah. JJut ftlr. T'earco was not
cast down. Ilu didn't bellcvo that
anybody would play him a practical
joke , and tlio more fact that ho hadn't a
brother did not trouble him. Ho felt just
as sure of tlio i.Miormous fortune as
tlioit" ! ] he had had a do/on brethren ;
but just now lie doesn't /col able to "lose
tlmo" and give up Iiis $ l.nOti day wngoa
long enough to hunt up clues , Mrs
Pearce , the two junior male Poarccs , and
the nlou looking young woman , daughter
of the Pearce liouseiioni , all were calmly
content and confidant. "UVJI go to
Yorrunl" quotli Mr * . Pearco. and
her husband echoed , "Wo will thawt ! "
And the neighbors , everybody oit ) in that
Greenwood district , all are firm in their
belief that a vcsdul load of gold is bound
from Australia for South Brooklyn and
likely to come Into port now at any
moment. And there in unanimity In tin ;
neighborhood that the mere fact that
James Pnarco novnr had a brother isn't
of the slightest cons.Muiniicn. If Mr.
JamcH Pcnrco were a drinking man he'd
find a thousand acquaintances glad ot
the chancu to roako him happy , FO Hiiro
arc those acquaintances of tint ship uujii-
ing in.
The millionaire journalist isn't so con-
ddent since I've givnn him' the report of
my investigation. Just to justify himself
he Hays : "My olllco boy , who liven over
in south Hrooklyn , told mo the utory and
I jotted It down , not thinking thcru was
any doubt about its certainty , he. as so
sure of it. Anyhow , it shows I've got n
nose for news , doesn't lit And that's
something. " 1 loft him in his pride , us-
toniKhed n little to llnd that newspapers

The hostility to cable railroads seems
to have partially disappeared in New
York , especially sineo the late lon
slriUc on the Third Avenue rond. The
reciprocal interests of down town ami
up town here compel dispatch and sending -
ing passengers to and fro , while there is
enough hostility to the elevated railroad
junta to make ( juiek cable roads rather
desirable on the part of those who but
yotorday wore making a great ado abiut
the arrival of strangers in tlio town. The
Third Avenue railroad , tlio most impor
tant in tlio United States of street-ear
lines , has fully determined on putting
down a cubit ; from the postollk'c to Har
lem. This will take a year or two , but
it is the beginning of a general transformation
mation , and meantime elevated railroads
are also growing in favor , notwithstand
ing the disadvantage there may ho to
adjacent property. Corbin , who now
has his hands full of Long Island rail
roads mid is In poor health , sees the im
portance of connecting down town as
well as up town with Ills lines.
This year has been , up to tins
present time , a bad one for him in
his formerly .successful propurties at
Coney Island. I hayo been there several
times during I he. season , and was told by
an intelligent waiter last week that thu
Oriental h"tcl , which made enough
money last year to compensate for the
slim returns of the Manhattan Iteach
house , was also behind this ycai , consid
erably. Indued , the attempt to control
everything on Long Island , Coney Island
included , seems to take the individuality
out of particular resorts , and while there
are thousands ot little cottages on Long
Island proper , the main hotels in the Cor
bin system have bad a very dubious Sea
son. Corbin has no station in Brooklyn
within a mile of the down-town ferries ,
and he now wants to run an elevated
railroad with four tracks through one of
the great streets of the city , so as to make
the south ferry his chief depot. His up
town ferry at Thirty-foutli street lacks
street car communication with the west
ern portions of Now York island. Judge
Hilton and Mrs. Stewart bava prevented
a street car railroad going through Thir
ty-fourth street , to the general disadvan
tage of trade in the upper middle portion
of the city.
From an apparently authentic source
eamo the announcement this week of the
marriairo in London of pretty Miss Kdith
Kingdon. of D.aly's company , and Mr.
George Gould , the favorite sou of the
great railroad millionaire.
The couple had been reported as be
trothed for some time past , and the news
did not occasion the Inrore in society ,
linaneial and theatrical circles , that
otherwise would have been created.
Mr. Jay Gould , however , denounces the
cablegram as a "canard. "
It is well known that Mr. Gould docs ,
not approve of the match , and possibly
thu denial is one of those "pointers" ho
lias been known to give when things are
not running his way.
Perchance the father , thinking the son
has committed a "bull" in matrimonial
stock , is holding out of the deal to show
his displeasure , but when ho shall see the
real good value through his son's regard
of the new property , he will probably
join in and boom things in the usual vig
orous way.
It , would be indeed a pity for the in
dulgent parent to act bearish in the mat
rimonial market.
The death of Samuel J. Tildcn is Ktlll
the all-absorbing topic. Every visitor to
Mr. Tilden's homo remembers with pleas
ure tlio quint but elegant luxury of its
furnishings , and hisontertaiiimenls thoro.
Mr. Tilden , though a bate'iolor ' , was a
man of thoroughly domestic tastes and
habits , and his wealth enabled him to
surround himself with everything that
wealth could buy. He did not spend his
money lavishly. Ho had accumulated
his fortune by his own ollort.s , and al
though lie had an abundance in latter
years , the habits of his early life mid
working daye , won ) not changed , and In
spending his money ho took care to get
its full value In return. So his vast for
tune increased rather than diminished to
the end. His weallh has been variously
estimated by his friends at froni $1.000,00(1 (
to . < rin,000.000 , The foundation of this
splendid fortune wa.s laid by hard work ,
nnd although it was increased rapidly it
was increased by the same , methods.
It is undoubtedly true that he
made many of what is known UH
"lucky hits" in Wall street , but lucky
spnftihitors are not chance investors as a
rule. Tlioy are men who work with their
brains us dlligentlv as others work with
their hands , and Air. Tilden WHS one of
tlii.s kind. Ilu bought or .sold because he
saw a reason for doing so , and had satis
fied himself by every possible means of
investigation that the reason was n good
one. His "big strikes" are supposed to
have been made in the Norlhwus-om at
the time of the consolidation with I/HI / old
Galena Union , in Fort Wayne , in Union
Pacific , and in the elevated roads in Now
York. Although never interested wlfh
either Gould or Vandoriiilt , ho conii'/vcil /

schemes , and frequently profited by
them , Ilu learned of the lattur'a Kchcmo
to consolidate the elevated lines , and is
mild to have made nearly $3,0'Jl,000 ) , out of
it. He was one of the atlonuys who
brought about thu consolidation of the
north western lines , and knowing posi-
lively what would be done of coined made
a very Imndsomo sum. Bv this move ho
