We have Just succeeded in the biggest stroke of bus!- ness enterprise of this season. Word came of the proposed dissolution of one of the leading manufacturing houses in the Muslin Underwear trade. ‘ The prices offered us were so low that our buyer was inclined to be suspicious of the qualities. “Good enough for us”—was his judgment after a most critical inspection of materials and making. “Good enough for us”—you know what that means— THE BEST TO BE HAD. - We were first on the spot—and had the pick of the as- sortment—the flower of the stock.

SOME INTERESTING DEVELOPMERTS More Important Purchases by J. P. Morgan & Co. EMPLOYES’ PASSES It is understood that the long-expected report of Mr. Stephen Little, the expert accountant, who, for several months past, has been examining the books of the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company, will be made to the New York reorganization com- mittee in the course of a day or two, cer- tainly, unless something unforeseen should occur, before the close of the present week. It is considered as probable that the Baiti- more reorganization committee will be fur- nished with a copy of the interesting docu- ment, but it is believed that the general business public will not be so favored. The readers of The Star will remember that soon after the appointment of Presi- dent John K. Cowen and Vice President Oscar G. Murray to be receivers of the Bal- timore and Ohio, the New York holders of the securities of the company, headed by J. P. Morgan & Co., appointed a committee on reorganization charged with the duty of devising a plan which would result in tak- ing the road out of the hands of the re- ceivers and putting it again under the con- trol of its owners. To the minds of the holders of Baltimore and Ohio securities in Baltimore the plan presented the very ser- fous gbjection that they were not looked after very closely, and that it appeared as though, under the New York plan, it was not improbable that they would be lost sight of altogether. A meeting of the dis- satisfied ho.ders was then held, and a com- mittee, known as the Baltimore reorganiza- tion committee, whose constituents were said to have between $30,000,000 and $40,- 000,000 invested in the road, was ap- pointed. For some time the members of the Balti- more committee proclaimed their intention to probe Baltimore and Ohio affairs to the bottom, but suddenly they became extreme- ly quiet, and it is said that the promise of a copy of Mr. Little’s forthcoming report induced them to allow matters to remain in statu quo until the appearance of that document, when, if the showing of the company’s affairs is not what they have reason to expect, they will proceed to have an investigation made by an expert of their own selection. An Exh ive Inquiry. It is said that Mr. Little has made a far more exhaustive report than his employers, the New York committee, intended when he was first engaged by them, and it is under- stood that he has gone down far deeper in- to the details of the past management than Was at first thought necessary, while it is also learned froin good authority that the report will be not only upon the present and past condition of the property, but also upon the causes that brought about these conditions, and upon whom rests the re- sponsibility for the mistakes of judgment that have b2en found. It is further under- stood that, according to Mr. Little’s opinion, there has been no dishonest diversion of the company’s funds, while many of the ex- penditures may have been unwise. It will also be shown by the report, it is said, that the company was able to earn its fixed charges every year, and it is believed that, although the net floating debt is, as here- tofore reported, about $16,000,000, yet so long as the road can earn its fixed charges it is believed that some plan can be devised without using undue severity on any of the securities. It is further understood that the report will show the exact relationship from a financial standpoint of the various subsidl- ary companies to the main system, the revenue, expenditures and loans, and that various other important facts bearing on the property will be set forth. Mr. Morgan’s New Deal. The intimate business relations existing between the Southern and the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Companies, with both of which Mr. J. P. Morgan is intimately identified, render the fact that the syndi- cate of which Mr. Morgan is the controlling spirit today takes possession of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad and will hereafter operate it an event of local in- terest. The road was sold Saturday last under the hammer, as the result of the foreclosure of an old mortgage, of which the Mercentile Trust Company of New York was trustee. There was but one bid, and the road was sold for $1,250,000, the upset price, payable in cash, to a commit- tee of bondholders representing the reor- ganization committee. A new company has already been incorporated under the name of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co:npany, with a capital of $50,- 000,000, divided into 500,000 shares of $100 each. Mr. D. B. Robinson formerly of the Santa Fe road, and said to be one of the finest operating men in the country, has been appointed president, and the board of directors will consist of J. Kennedy Tod of J. P. Morgan & Co., I. N. Seligman, J. A. Blair, Horace Porter, Edward C. Hender- son and Fred Straus of New York, Benja- min P. Cheney and William T. Hart of Boston, Samuel C. Eastman of Concord, N. H.; Charles S. Gleed of Topeka, Kan.; Daniel B. Robinson, Richard C. Kerens and George A. Madill of St. Louis. The head- quarters of the new company will be in St. Louis, and an assistant secretary and the treasurer will be located in New York. The St. Louis and San Francisco railway has a mileage of a little more than 1,430 miles, and extends to a darge number of points in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kan- sas, Colorado, Utah, New and Old Mexico, Arizona and by connections in California. For a considerable period prior to the sale it was in the hands of receivers, and the plan of reorganization was, it is said, de- vised under the inspiration of Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Company. B. and 0. Employes’ Passes. For some time past there has been con- siderable fear among many of the employes of the B. and O. Railroad Company, who have been in the habit of traveling between their homes and their places of business on passes, as to whether they would not be taken away from them after July 1, and a nominal rate of fare substituted, as has been the course adopted by the Pennsyl- vonta Railroad Company. It is learned that the receivers of the B. and O. at one time seriously contemplated following the lead of the Pennsylvania in this matter, but at the last mcment decided not to do so at present, and yesterday the passes were sent out, as usual. No further action will be taken in the matter for the present, but it is believed by those best informed that the change is but a question of a short time. 3 The approximate earnings of the Bal- timore and Ohio for May, the exact figures not being as yet obtainable, were nearly $2,000,000, an increase of about $175.00, as compared with the same month of last year. The decree signed by Judge Morris at Baltimore for the foreclosure of the mort- gage and sale of the Maryland and Wash- ington division of the Norfolk and West- ern railroad, so far as it relates to prop- erty in Maryland, is in conformity to the decrees previously signed by Judge Goff at Norfolk and Lynchburg, and appoints G. E. Bowden and Charles Sharp, both of Norfolk, as special masters to conduct the sale. The sale is to be made at Roanoke, Va., upon a day or days to be fixed by the masters, and the property is to be put up as a whole. No bid under $1,500,000 is to be accepted, and in case no bid to such amount is received the sale will be ad- journed. A guarantee of $250,000 in cash or certified check, or $500,000 par value of the bonds of the road, will also be required to be deposited by the successful bidder at the time of the sale. Reading Transnctions. Mr. E. J. D. Cross, the law partner of Receiver John K. Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio, a few days ago purchased the Susquehanna and Tidewater canal and Co- lumbia dam and appurtenances, at an auc- tion sale at York, Pa., for $80,000. The ac- tion caused much comment. Mr. Cross now says that he was acting in the matter for the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, but declined to say what would HAVENNER & DA Incorporated, 025 F ot, MUCH FOR LITTLE. —We've surprised everybody with the prices we've been quoting lately, People didn’t think we would sacri- fice such shoes as ours at such ridicu- lously small figures. —We'll look out for your Low, Shoe wants today.

The city declined to pay, and it is now thought not improbable that the en- tire loan, which, with the interest, amounts to nearly $300,000, will be lost.
