SAGE CONTINUES. We Has a Quiet Little Tift With Come missioner Anderson. New York, May 13.—The session of the Pacific Railway Commission was resumed to-day, with Russell Sage on the stand, He testified as follows: “For my sixth interest in the St, Louis pool secur ities I paid $200,220. I don't remember that any paper was shown me showing the statement of the assets of the pool at the time of the transaction. Gould had five-sixths of the pool, but I under- ‘Stand that he parted with a portion of his inter- ést, how much or to whom I do not remember, While Mr. Gould was in Ei he ely ota Dutch’ syndicate a amount of bonds and Stock, of which I took at cost fourteen bonds of Denver Pacific, 3,502 shares of stock and 100 re- Organization bonds for $100,000. On the 1st of January, 1880, I owned 8,877 shares of the Kansas Pacific Stock’ and 14,760 shares of the Union Pacific stock, and, les these, $758,000 in Kan- sas Pacific consolidated bonds, $181,000 in St. Joseph and Pacific, $115,900 Kansas and Nel and $94,000 in Denver and Boulder Valley. ought the St. Joseph and Western and Kansas and Nebruska in open market, I think that some Of these bonds were exchanged for consolidated bonds. 1 knew that Jay Gould was a large holder tn Kansas and Nebraska and St. Joseph and West; ern, I don't know how much of an in hehad in this, or how large a holder he was in Kansas Pa- Cilic at the time.of the consolidation, Isuppose he Acquired these securities by purchase, as other People do, Tdont know what he pald ror them, rou can find that out very readily by putting him on the stand. Commissioner Anderson commenced to quote “Sumictent unto the day,” when Mr. Sage inter. rupted with: “Mr, Gould, I think, is very much like myself, ‘HE ATTENDS TO HIB OWN BUSINESS. I do not know why Mr. Gould resigned asa director prior to the consolidation. I do not ques- ton his motives; I am notin the habitot guessing People’s motives. If he resigned because of his proposed dealings in the matter of the eonsolida- Hon, Tdon't know. It might have been a reason. He became a director aiterward, 1 don’t know that T presented Mr. Gould's resignation as a director of the Kansas Pacific on the day of the consolidation,” ‘Whe minutes of the meeting of the directors on ‘that occasion Were read, and Mr. Sage remembered ‘that he moved the acceptance of Mr: Goulds a nation. - ‘The resignation was dated January 10, “I presume Mr. Gould requested me to make the motion, though I don’t remember; I don’t know that Mr, Gould was made a directér on that same day after the consolidation. He remained @ hard- working and interested member of the board for & Dumber of Years afterward, “T know Solon Humphrie, connected with the firm of F.D. Morgan & Co. ’ He has large railroad interests, and has been connected in business with Mr. Gould in stock matter. I also know J. M. and wrote a letter to. both of them in October, 1879, with reference to the value of prop- erty in the West and destrableness of investments; also, with reference to tue propriety of the con- solidation of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific.” ‘The question of the figures in the ot Messrs, Humphries and Dodge being exactly ‘similar to those inserted in the of consolidation in an attempt to prove that Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon knew on Januard 16, just what appoint- made, Was. answered. 0) ments would be y Judge Dillon, Mr. Sage being unapleto give the in- formation. Judge Dillon said that he thought ‘Uhat he knew of it but‘ day or two before or per- haps on the same day of the consolidation. ‘the examination of Mr. ‘was continued with reference lo the details of the consolidated meeting of which he remembered very ttle, though they made @ majority of the motions. He was asked with reference to the whereabouts of Government Director Chadwick, who opposed the consolidation, and when the commission was informed that hé was dead, the statement eli- cited from Commissioner Little. THE GOOD DIE YOUNG. ‘The witness was questioned with reference to the resignation of Jay Gould as director of the Union Pacific at the consolidation meeting, a8 he was with reference toa similar tion in the Kansas Pacific meeting, but not ore defi ive was elecived conceriiing Mr. Gould's motives. When asked if Mr. Gould did not ask him the day previous to move the acceptanee of his resigna- jon, the witness said: “Mr, Gould 1s not in the habit of telling me of the doing of any until i¢ 18 done.” Con- Unuing he testitled, “I knew that the Kansas Pact- Re Company nad béen considering the destrubiilty Of purchasing a larga, number of securities of the St. Joseph and “Western, Kansas and Nebraska, (St Joseph Bridge,” fc “at of these I understood to be furnished, by Jay Gould, but I don’t know that he asa director tomake this sale. I consider this action was most desirable, even so far as my trus- teeship of the consolidated ‘was con- cerned, and experience has praven this to be 80.” ‘Witness was of the opinion that these securities, exch: tor consolidated bonds or stocks of the Kansas Pacific at par were owned by different par Pi but the record of Controller Mink, ot the Union acide staves that they were all gold By Mr. Gould Dut Mr. Sage thought ‘that, Mr. Gould represent a great many holders in the deal, as the securities were largely and widely dealt in. Palscein Lemay THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. Important Changes in the Rules Made Bt To-day’s Meeting. Crvcrsnatr, May 13.—Every club in the American Base Ball Association was represented at a special meeting held here to-day to amend the batting Tule, The rule giving a baseit toa batter who secured ‘base on balls was abolished, Hereafter such a base will be counted as ‘‘not at the bat.” ‘The strike-out rule was also amended, mi three strikes instead of four necessary to retire a batter.

Murdered for Her Money. AN OLD LADY STRANGLED AND ROBBED BY NEW YORK ROUGHS. At New Haven, Conn., Mrs. Margaret Ernst, aged 72 years, was murdered Monday night by a person or persons unknown. Tuesday morning, a milk- man, who had delivered milk to Mrs. Ernst for some years, while making his rounds was sur- prised to find the front door wide open, and entering the house he found the old lady tying on a sofa bound hand and foot. She was dead. It was apparent that Mrs. Ernst had been mur- dered for her money. She lay on a jounge in the front room. Her hands were securely tled together across her breast with a cket handkerchief, while her limbs were tightly bound together with another handkerchief. “A sheet was wound around her throat so as completely meen 4 her head. Froth and blood at the mouth showed that the old lady had met a horrible death by strangulation. When the medical examiner arrived the gags and handkerchiefs were removed. Dr. White made an examination, and found that death was caused by strangulation. Mra Ernst owned the house where she tlved. fhe house was occupied by five families. Mrs. Ernst lived in the Dasement, which was divided into six apartments. Mrs. Ernst kept a saloon to January 1 last, but at that tune sue announ that she had given up business, and told Officer Cannon that the reason was that if she kept on selling liguors she would be obliged to close up several entrances to her place, according to law. Mrs. Ernst pretended to keep a temperance bar since she gave up her license, but the murder has shown that she was unlawiully continuing her business. ‘rhe 1 on which she was found stood in acorner in front of the bar. Mrs Ernst had not gone to bed at the time she was visited by her murderers, as was evident from the fact that she was’ completely dressed. ‘The room directly in the tear of the barroom was occu- pied by the old lady as a bedroom. In this room everything was turned topsy turvy. ‘The Ded ‘ad been torn, to, pleces and, evidently searched minutely by some one who ex; to find money concealed there. The bureau draw- ers were found dying: all around the oor, and their contents overhauled carefully, ‘The bosom of Mrs, Ernst’s dress had also been torn open in the search for cash, a8 Mrs, Ernst was believed to carry sev- eral hundred dollars on her person. ‘The murdered woman Was Worth at least $20,000, owned several houses and had money invested in’ mortgages and Savings banks. cathe ew otk, Herald 2to-day says: Henry B. hamberiain, alias Clark, a young “crook,” and James F.
