William S.

The complaint also shows that from the depot in Paterson to the Long Dock terminus is only sixteen miles, and ff the Erie Railway Company charge the fuli price allowed by Jaw for the trans- portation of locomotives and tenders it would be six cents per mile per ton for Sreightage and ten cents additional per tom for passing through the tunnel, making $1 06 per ton from Paterson to Long Dock, ‘which would make the freight on an engine and tender weighing thirty tons just $31 80.

This arrange ment was quashed by tue Erie managers In & very effectual, though extraordinary manuer, as wil presently appear, On March 2, 1869, a company was meorpdrated called the “Unton Locomotive Express Company,’ with a capital of $100,000, Wiib liberty to Mmerease it to $500,000, The Mth sec- tion of the charter act empowered tis company to carry or forward locomotives or other property. ‘This company was pretended to be organized, but, itis claimed, upon a fraudulent basis—t. ¢, {rom the manner of purchasing, a large portion of the stock being paid for in trucks and property trans- ferred for that purpose by the directors or the Erie Ratlway Company; and if this express compaiy does exist it does so by a combination of the direc ors of te Erie Railway Company (or most of them) and the pretended directors of the Union Locomo- tive Express Company, for the purpose of prevent ing the Erie Railway Company trom transporting jocomotives aud tenders, which by law the Erie Raliway Company 1s bound vo wransport at specified rates, ‘The rates of this Unton Locomotive Express Company are much higher than those allowed motives and tenders by law to the frie Company, for the pur- pose, 16 is alleged, of depriving the stock- nolders of the Erie Ratlway Company of their just dividends and extorting illegal Charges from those having locomotives and tenders to trans- port, 1p 18 also alleged that one of the objects of the said Union Locomotive Express Company 1s to defeat aud prevent the transportation of locomotives over the said Paterson and Hudson River Raliroad at ordinary rates tor freight. The complaint further states that the Erie Railway Con:pany and Union Locomotive Express Compaay have been since May last combining and confederating together to pre- vent the discharge, by the Erie Kaliway Company, of the legal duty they owe to the locomotve manu- facturers in transporting their product at ordinary rates for freight. That, in pursuance of that con- spiracy, “and tor other evil and unlawful purposes, they devised the scheme of removing the trucks of the locomotive manufacturers hitherto referred to, out of the State, and keeping them ous of the State and have made divers false, deceitful and hypocritical pretenses to justify the detention of the same.’ The language of the complainants in the suitin this con- nection is extraordinarily severe. The bill of com- plaint further states that alinough some of the agents of the SOmEany have pretended that they desire to return the trucks refered to, the frie Ratlway Company managers have given positive directions not to let them pass by the Susquehanna over their road. And athouga others of them pretend that they do not desire to injure the com- plainants, yet the Erie Railway Company directed one of their engineers to take the said wucks west- wardly and out of the State of New Jersey. In pursuance of these directions au engine was attached to the trucks of the complainants, and they were taken out of the State, it is also averred that it was at that time, and has been since, per- fectly well understood between the directors of both said companies and their agents, that these trucks should be kept out of tae State, in order to compel the locomotive manufacturers to employ the Union Locomotive Express Company to take the engies from Paterson to Long Dock, and in order to furnish a prevence wo charge the extortionate and unreasonable prices now charged by that Express Company, Itis further shown that tne price for transporting locomotives over other roads in the United states 1s forty cents per mile for each ioco- motive, or one and one-third cents per mile per ton. It ts, in Other words, the general rule and custom to transport them as ordinary freight. whether the Union Locomouve Express Company 18 a duly organized company or not, it is charged it was gotten up aud procured to be organized by Jay Gould, James Fisk, Jr, and FP. A. Lane, three of the directors of the Erie Railway Company, in connection and combination with W, M. Kasson, J. G. Dudley, Henry J. Smith, C. V. Kasson and a person styled im the act P. RK, Randall, who are made parties to this bili for the purpose of discovery, as well a8 other purposes, and was devised mainly as a contrivance Ww shift the duties and responsibilities as “common carriers” Irom the Erie Railway Com- pany to an irresponsible company or set of men, with responsibility limited as “forwarders” only, and in order to enable“the defendants, or some of them, to make iiezal and exorbitant charges for transportation without incurring the penalties of the aw or assuming the risks of common carriers, It is claimed that the Erie Katlway Company cannot by any such contrivance evade its just responsibility as @ common carrier; that these contrivances to rid the Ene Raiway Company of its duties and respon- sibilities are fraudulent and void, and that the money obtained thereby has been obtained by fraud and unlaw/ully, and the amount thereof in excess of tne legal rate of freight should be paid back. On June 2, 1869, the Rogers Locomotive Works delivered to the Erie Railway Company at Paterson, to be transported to Long Dock, a locomotuuve aud tender for the New Haven and Northampton Rau. road. Being on their own (the locomotive com- pauy’s) trucks the Erie Ratlway Companyfretused to receive them, but directed that they should be wans- ferred to the trucks of the Union Locomotive Ex- press Company, whicu was done, under protest, the Erie Company charging thirty-one dollars for freigut- age and Gfteen doliars tor “discharge” (about tour hours’ use of the dock, until the locomotive could be moved on board a vessel). On Juge 3 the same game was re-enacted with anotuer engine for te same road. On the 12th of August last the com- plainants delivered into the hands of the erie Railway Company a tender for the Kansas and Pacific Railway Company, which they desired vo be taken to the junction of the Morris and Essex Rallway, pear Bergen tunnel, about thir- teen miles. The Erie agent was offered a transporta- tion ticket, with the place of destination marked upon it, and twelve doilars in money for the freight, which was fully enough to pay the legal charge. The freight- age and ticket were both refused, with the information that under the existng Instructions the ticket or tender couid not be taken, the Erie company having no faciliues for the transportation of such freight. Upon being asked what was meant by “factlities,’? the reply Was that Kasson’s Union Locomotive Ex- press Company had the contract for transporting all engines and tenders, Tne complainants in their bill demand that the contract be produced, If such a paper does exist it is thought that it cannot relieve the Erie company from the regulations of the charter under which it acts, or should act. It 1s alleged that the Erie com- pany at this tine had full and ampie “facilities” for carrying the freight as desired. Another engine, de- livered to the Erie company on June 8, was delayed three days avd was then taken westward to Owego, N.Y. The agent of the road (the Southern Central) refused to receive the Jocomotive at that point, and tae Erie then brought it back to Binghamton and from thence to Syracuse, The trucks upon which the locomotive was loaded, belonging ty the manu- facturers, were then brought to Binghamton, where they have since beenkept. Upon another occasion Mr. Kasson, the ostensible manager of the Union Locomotuve Express Company, offered if Mr. Rogers would ship a locomotive by his express and pay $250 therefor, and make no protest, that half the money would be returned to him In a few days. Mr. Rogers, however, refused, and paid the charge under protest. Mr. Kasson then sald the Erie company was prepared to fight it out on that line, and that it had the locomotive builders of Paterson in its power. He aiso told Mr. Rogers that in making bids for Western locomotives vo be delivered in Chicago he should add @500 (Kas- son's pricefor sending tuem through), and advised hit also to ada $250 on all to be delivered at Long Dock. The agents of the company informed Mr. stogers also that they had orders to take no locomo- tives away Which were not upon the trucks of the Union Locomotive Express Company. ‘This had the appearance Of a conspiracy to defraud the stock- noiders of the Erie Railway, who could not, of course, claim any dividends from the proits of the Union Locomotive Express Company. An ordinary locomotive and tender are worth $14,000, and the delay occasioned several times has caused serious trouble, and the complainants are fearful lest by being unable to deliver the locomo- tives according to contract they will be caused much datnage, &c, It is alleged that the locomotive man- facturing business of Paterson has suffered con- siderably, inasmach 48 many ratiroads have ordered thelr engines in other places rather than run the risk of such delay and trouble in having them delivered, ihe locomouye business of Paterson has heretofore been very extensive, one establisnment turning out about 110 locomotives & year and the other two over 100, giving employment to at least 2,000 hands. Ai\hough the Bre managers have srequently been applied to for r son this score they invariably refuse to transport them any other way exce the locomotive express. The complainants a un wis ‘tice is restrained by an injunct their losses and damages therefrom will be enor- mous. And, furthermore, the complainants claun that the Erie Katiway Company ia likely to bi ne insolvent. ‘(heir stock is now selling i the market at leas than thirty per eent of its par value, and the COMpany has largely mortgaged the road, The pre- sent directors, by means of their bargains with the Union Locomotive Express Company and other corporations which they possess im tneir own name, in which ‘they hold large in- terea'é, and by which bargains the freight on ‘heir railways can be transported for the Union Locomouve Express Company and simi- lar coryvorauions at ruinousiy low rates for said Erie Railway Company, and extortionate rates for said Union Locomotive Express Company, are rapidly banging the said Erie Kaliway Company to such @ state of vlter insolvency that juagments obtained against it would, in all probability, be worthless, ag it would 10t, probably, bring enough at public sale to pay the amount due upon the mort- gage thereupon. In addition to the reduction of the revennes of the Erie Railway Company caused by such bargains, the directors thereof, or some of them, have a Ce roling interest in the Elmira Rolling Mill Company, and tn contracts for repairs of various kinds along weir raliway; bind the contractors to purchase their iron of the saa fimira Rolling Mill Company, and agree ip that case tO transport it for nothing @ over they FoAd ja Ke DIMCe Whore tie reRgiry ar being made, The iron is sold by this rolling mui company at such excessive rates that its profits have been twenty times as great as the whole amount of its capital stock. It 18 further stated that the direc- tors of the Erie Company are also in combination wih other parties for the supply of “coal, Wood, oil and other things.” In what particolar companies the complamants have no particular knowledge, but demand the defendants be ordered to fully show in their answer, not only as tothe extent of their inter est in the Locomotive Express Company, Dut also In the Rolling Mill and all other companies or corporations in which they are in any way interested. All of these actions of the direc- tors tend to the utter imsolvency of the Ere Railway Company, and in a very short time will re- duce tt to insolvency, if it 18 not tn that condition already. ‘The complainants also pray that the Erle directors, In their answer to this bill, be compelled to show up ail the assets, debta and iabilities of the Ene Railway Company, in what they ccusist, &c,, 10 order that it may be known wiih certainty whether or not the company is aole to pay its debts and lia- bilities, and of how inany shares its capital stock now consists, how mucl: has been subscribed and paid in, in cash or otherwise, and how, whe and by whom, ‘On May 20, 1869, the Erie directors procured the passage of an act by the Legisiature of New York, entitied “An act to amend chapter 263, enutled ‘an act relative to the Erie, New York Central, Hudson River and Harlem Railroad Companies,’ vy which act it Was declared that no stockholder of either of these roads should be a director or officer of either of the roads. The Board of Directors in each of these companies might so classy the mempers of such board, by lot or otherwise, that one-fifth of their number should go out cf office at each annual elec- hon, and that at the next election directors should be voted for only in piace of those whose terms should expire. It is alleged that no such classi- fication has been made by the Erie directors. If it was, it was such a classification as would put out such Of the directors a8 [sre not willing to join with the majority in their combinations and bargains. At the time of the passage of the act referred to (May 20, 1869) the directors did not own a majority of the stock of the Erie Ratilway, but they now do, Itis alleged this act was passed not to promote te interestsof the company, but to enable the Board of Directors, consisting of seventeen (or a majority of them), to control the actions and operations of the company for a period of years in defiance of the majority (in value) of its stockholders, for the pur- pose of entering into “bargains” as before men- tioned, and vo perpetuate their power as directors in deflance of the wish and wisdom of the stockholders, The directors of the Erie Company’ are also directly charged with combining with tho Union Locomotive Express companies and other corporations, for the purpose of extorting trom those who came under their power, and to defraud the stockholders of what would otherwise add to thelr dividends. it is in its whole scope and object and in its details contrary to law. The Erie managers, it is further alleged, prevend that the trucks of the locomotive manufacturers were taken away by mis- take, aud that the reason they do not take the loco- motive ireignt any other way than by the Union Express 18 because they have not the proper trucks. ‘The bill of complaint on this score says Mf that 1s 80 it is because Jay Gould, James Fisk, Jr., and the ‘contederates” among the Erie directors, for the purpose of avoiding their responsibility as common carriers and Excieae higher freightage, have purposely made away wit! them, for the company had them up to three months ago. In conclusion the complainants pray the Erie managers be compelled to show up the whole details of the management, in order to prove the legality of the many questionable transactions, and that they be compelled to return to Paterson the stolen trucks and carry freight according to the provisions of the charter under which it exists and 18 carried on. ‘This is a synopsis simply of this extraordinary Dill of complaint, which elicits some facts (the bill 1s substantiated by aitidavits) which do not appear in previous reports of Erie matters. If all these allega- tions are true holders of Erie stock may well feel dubious about its retention; for the speedy insol- veucy of the wisole concern would be inevitable, ‘The defendants are cited to answer before Chan- celior Zabriskie and show cause why the prayer of ‘the complainants should not be granted, ‘The bill was filed on the 2ist of August, and the rigid watch- fulness with which the original has been guarded and the singular reticence of all concerned probably account for its allegations never having before been made public. The Passate county Grand Jury have also indicted James Fisx, Ji, and Jay Gould, and upon their being caught upon Jersey soil they will be arrested and arraigned forthwith, They are charged by the indictment with fraud and consplir- acy. A Paterson constable is waiting and watching for hein on the other side of the river, but it 18 provable they will go over secretiy, to evade arrest, and present themselves for arraignment and give security tor their appearance—to appear as crimi- nals—to answer the charge before tue next Passaic Oyer and Yerminer at Paterson. The Railroads of New Jersey to be Over- hauled, In consequence of the revelations of alleged frauds resulting from the investigation into the manage- ment and affairsof the Erie Railroad Company, a judge of the Court of Errors aud Appeals, now in session at Trenton, stated to a HERALD reporter yes- terday that the railroad companies of New Jersey, particularly the New Jersey Central, were about to be similarly overhauled, The Ramsey Erie Railway Suit—Judge Bale com Modifies His Order.

Archdall O’Doherty as re- ceivers, swear to the following abstract of the earn- ing of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway ffom April 9 to August $1, Inclusive:—From freights, $1,492,714; from passengers, $3 79; for mails, $14,107; from express, $30,572; miscellaneous, $10,102, Total, $1,934,774, The road meanwhile has moved 763,430 tons of freight, 93,474 passengers. The debt of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway is as follows:—Mortgage bonds, $30,548,900; accrued interest thereon, $7,024,307; debentures, $14,000,000; floating debt, $13,000,000; stock, $30,000,000. Total, $94,373,207. There are affidavits in court that the road cannot sell for $15,000,000 if put on the market with the utmost care. Adjourned till afternoon, On the reassembling of the court Mr. McFarland urged an immediate hearing on the motion to re- move the receivers, which was opposed by the Erie attorneys in every possible way, and a protracted dis- cussion ensued. An affidavit was presented from Jared B. Baldwin, a New York physician, dated New York, November 24, swearing that Jay Gould was then too sick to leave his residence on Filth avenue, To this a gen- tleman in court replied that to his positive Knowil- ledge Jay Gould was at the office that same Wednes- day evening. ‘The next delay was by request of Erie counsel for just pdt minutes to get a telegraphic answer Jrom Gould on the proposition for adjustment just forwarded to New York. ‘Tle intermission was al- lowed, but darkness came on and nothing was heard from Gould, so @n adjournment was made tll evening. In the evening Mr. Hutchins, for Wisner H. Town- send, & defendant, proceeded with the motion for the removal of the receivers; and when the name of W. Archdall O'Doherty was spoken W. W. McFar- land, of New York, attorney for the Atlantic and Great Western, stated that he was authorized by Mr. O'Doherty to tender his resignation of the recetverstilp, Thus Gould is left alove in the con- tested office. Mr. Fiutchina read an affidavit from Colonel Rash C. Hawkins, director and formerly attorney for the Atiantic aud Great Western, wherein he gave the particulars of a compact between Gouid and McHenry for getting an order of sale quietly, thus throwing the Atlantic and Great Western into their hauds. The company was then to be reorganized, and Gonid was to take sixteen twenty-elghths of the stock and McHenry twelve twenty-eignths, There was also @ letter from Frederick A. Lane, attorney of the Erte, to Hawking, propos. ing that the Erie and the Atiantic and Great Western make an arrangement for appointing receivers, that no antagonistic element might inter- fere, Another aMdavit from Hawkins averred that the plainud, John R. Penn, oa whose motion the receivers were appointed, was instigated to take this action by the Erie company, was im collusion with !t, and in the employ of It, or of its officers, and that the object of his action was to prevent the pay- ment of rent due to the Atiautic and Great Wes. ern.

A paragraph in yesterday's HernaLp stated that about 200 of the workmen employed in the Trenton (N. J.) Rolling Mills were discharged for jack of em- ployment; but it seems the dimentty arises from another source, The Eric Raliway Company, up- Wards of @ Year ago, purchased tuose premises, and the suspension of operations now arises from the complications of that corporation, although it has been stated by some of the oficers In Trenton that a deficiency of stock is the reason for suspension.
