“me to-night. M{x cares are onerous witho THE RAILWAY KINC. Mr, W. H. Vanderbilt Tells All About His Interest in ‘Western Properties, And 8ays He Wouldn't Accept a Line from “Ocean to Ocean”as a Ohrist- mas Prerent, Chicago Times, 23td. Mr, William H, Vanderbilt, several members of his official seaff, and a number of personal friends arrived in the city over the Lake Shore & Mich- igan Southern railway at 5:30 o'clock on Jast evening. The other gentlemen of the jaciy were Cant, J. H. Van- dorbilt, uncle to Willlam B,y W, K, ‘Vanderbilt, vice-president of the New York Central; John Newell, general ananager of the Lake Shore railway; James M. Marvin, directorof the New York Oentral; William Turnbull, T. C. Eastman, the stock shipper; Ed- ward Ellis, the locomotive builder; Gen, George McGhee, and Foster Dewey. The train bearing the party came through from New York to Chi- cago on a special schedule, and some very fast time was recorded. A representative of The Times who called upon Mr. Vanderbilt, at the Grand Pacific hotel, inquired regard- ing the report, published a few days since, that he had secured, or was likely to secure, control of both the Chicago & Northwestern and the Union Pacific, and that he was pro- moting the immediate construction of the Oregon Short Line, from Granger, on the Union Pacific, to Portland, with the object of owning and operat- ing a continuous line of railroad from ocean to ocean. ““There 18n’t a shadow of truth in that story. I know absolutely noth- ing about the Oregon Short Line. I have no desire to control any more railroads than I already control, and I might say that I have littlo desire to control them. 1 am trying to lessen my cares and responsibilities, instead of adding to them. T have, it 18 true, invested largely in all the leading western ronfl:, for the reason that they are less likely to be viciously in- terfered with than the large eastern lines. But I haven't sought to have any voico in the management of the Northwestern, Chicago and Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington and Quiney, and Union Pacific. With one exception, I have had no hand in the management of any of those roads. I have, T may say, taken some interest in the managoment of tho Chicago and Northwestern —some of my friends nrodin ;}w direction—be- cause it is a good and growing proper- ty. I wouldn’t %4ve o line from 0£A%n to ocean if it were a free gift to enough now, ut spreading them out to the Pacific coast. All the properties I have named are good and irably managed, and I have no de- sire to interfere with tho Jpresent own- ershipand managements. “The newspapers and the Wall street gossips say that you are unload- ing somo of your stocks. What do you say to that, Mr. Vanderbilt?” “‘Those stories are made out of whole cloth, 1haven’t bought or sold a share of New York Central or Lake Shorostock for a year, up to July 1, A few days ago Lake Sfiom went a little lower than I thought it ought to and I bought one thousand shares. I y no attention to the stock lists. T l::ve not been in Wall street for five years, and [ don't go below Canal street twice a year.” “Is anything being done to end the present war of freight and passenger Tates?” “Nothing. We didn't break the rates. We are simply following the lead of ocher people. don't know who is responsible for the trouble. 1 too, who you would think would scorn to engagein such schemes, are promot- ing this style of speculation. It is perfectly outrageous.” | ‘It is said that you intend to issue New York Oentral incomebonds, divi dend paying, to the amount of $90,- 000,000, to be distributed among the shareholders?’ “A New York paper started that yarn, There is no truth in the state ment. It is a story started for a pur- pose.” |" Mr. Vanderbilt and party, accom- panied by Mr_Ledyarg, general man- ager of tho Michigan Central, will {leave the city for Detroit this evening o to-morrow morning, FATAL ACCIDENT. An Old Lady Thrown from a Wagon and Killed. Correspondence of The Bee. Corumpus, July 25.—Yesterday about 11 o'clock a sad accident hap- pened in this city, by which Mrs, Ann Muney lost her life. Mr. Thos. Lyons was driving to mass with his wifo, Mrs, Muney, his mother-in-law, and o hired man in the wagon. The team was frightened by a dog running out at them, and became unmanageable. Mr, Lyons, in at- tempting te hold the horses, broke one of the bits, and not noticing the accident continued drawing on the reins, This turned the horses so suddenly that Mrs. Lyons and the hired man were thrown to the ground with great force. The team ran straight for the fence of Mr. H. G, Carew. When within a fow feet of it they suddenly shied, upsetting the wagon and throwing Mrs. Muney un- der the wagon-box with so much vio- lence that she was carried to the resi- dence of Mr, Carew in jan unconscious condition, Drs. Bone- steel and Haehen were summoned at once, but when they arrived the old lady, who was over sixty, was beyond the reach of medical skill and died in about three hours. The deceased has lived in the west- ern part of Colfax county since 1866, where she has three married daughters liing. Her only living son, Michael Muney, is a resident of Omaha and works in the U. I shops. Mrs. Muney wag a very kind neighbor. Where sickness and distress was, there she was sure to be, She was a Christian who lived up to her religion, and died at peace with all the world, The rest of the party were moro or less injured. Mr. Lyons had his shoulder dislocated, but it is hoped nothing serious will come of 1t. OnmEeaa, Smemmseme——— Blair Budget. Correspondence ot 1 s Bax. Bramg, July 26,4 Farmers are now harvesting all over the country and the prospect is much better than could be hoped for after the late spring. There has been a great demand for harvesters, Implement dealers have sold or contracted for more than thoy could furnish. Blair's usually active and business liko appearance is further increassd by the constant coming and going of .rains, eight regular passenger and mail trains a day arriving and -depart- ing. Two of these stop for dinner. gl!’lln lawn sociable given by the Bap- tist church at the fine residence and grounds of J. 8. Stewart, about one mile from town, on Friday evenin wasa grand success.

Palmer & Co. make no accusations, It don’t keep me awake nights, In railroading, as in your newspaper business, I sup- sou, wo have a good many ups and lowns, but I take things as they come, and at the end of the year the average is not far out of the way. We are common carriers, and we must do as our mneighbors do. We have no differences to settle. Some of the other people charge us with the re- sponsibility, You know every fellow has fit to_protect himself by giving somebody else the devil.” “Do you fear the New York, Chi- cago & Bt, Louis road, just projected, @s a future rival to your system of rail ways?" ‘“‘Not at all. No railroad can par- allel us that will not starve to death. We will starve it, not maliciously, but by the superiority of our posi- tion, before it can get ir. a condition tolive. We are just finishing our fourth track. We can perform more service for the public than any two track railroad that could be built par- allel with us, Why, you ask. Be- cause when one of those roads is crowded with freight the passenger business must be inconvenienced, or vice versa; but with us, with our four tracks, all business of whatever volume, is moved independently and without friction or conflict, We have always been friendly, in the legisla- ture and otherwise, to tho water-ways that parallel us, for if they attract business to Buffalo we stand a chance of getting a share of it. The Penn- sylvania raiiroad A\ompnn{I adopted a different soluy. It bought up all the canals and then dried them up. If we had done that the business would not have been so largely drawn to Buftalo, but would have been diverted to uther routes, and such diversion would have been infinitely more hurt- ful :‘l’. us than the competition of the canals. *But what do you think of the E.
