I have, however, laid the matter before five of our directors, and they ail agree that now will be an excellent time to depress the stock and recover at lower quotations what we have sold on the late rise. The road 1s doing o marvellously well that at the next semi-annual meet- ing of directors we shall be able to per- manently increase our dividends. That will give the stock a great impetus, and gend its price many points higher. Therefore, before this meeting it is ne- cessary to do something to break the price, and obtain some more stock for ourselve A _very large quantity of our shares are held in London, and we must contrive to make the Englishmen scll; and, as you know, it takes a good heavy fall, with considerable bad news, to force tho hers to part with anything they fancy. The railway horizon hasbeen so clear lately thata good, sharp ware of rates would have a most demoralizing effect on the market, and would undoubtedly send prices tumbling. , there- fore, at once inaugurate one by reduc- ing rates on all elasses of business. Our financial condition is so good thata short railway war will not.do us much harm; and, of course, as soon us we have forced the price of the stock down sufficiently low, and got as much of it as we want, the rates will be restored and the war cease. I have already “‘gone short” of the stock. As s00n as you can make the necessary arrangements, 1ssue an announcement that, on account of the underhand way the other roads are behaving and the vast amount of secret rate-cutting now in progress, wo are forced in self-de- fence to reduce our rates. Very faith- fully yours, E. HIGGINS, From John Stamford to his Brother Frank Stamford. Porkororis, Sept. 4.-—-Dear Frank: You have often asked me to give you a tip by which you could make something on the market; but I have always been afraid to tell you any secrets. However. as you are now in England and several thousand miles away from the specula- tive center, I don’t mind giving you a tin. New York & Porkopolis stock is now selling at 105; before you get this let- ter it will have dropped to 95; a week later it will be at %0; and at that figure you can safely buy it, for that is to be the bottom. In three months from now it will be selling at 120.—Your affec- tionste brother, JOHN. Extract from the‘*New York Stockbreaker,’ September 10, The announcement, thflt the New York & Porkopolis railroad had made a re- duction of 50 per cent on all classes of traffic fell like a thunderbolt on the Ex- change yesterday,and gave the *“*bears” their long-wished-for opportunity to smash the market. Prices went down with a run,and New York & Porkopolis, which opened at 105, sold below par. The manner in which this and certain other stocks were raided plainly showed the existence of a strong “‘bear” clique organized to depress prices. The other roads will meet the cut at once, and the situation is, to suy the least, decldcfll_v gloomy. Another extract from same, September 16. The railroad war waxes fiercer and fiercer. The New York & Porkopolis has made a still further reduction in passenger rates, and is already carrying freight at nominal prices. Strange to say,the market has shown a remarkable undertone; and although the ‘‘bears” bave vigorously assailed it, they have, during the past two days, been unable to make any hu})rossmn on _prices. Twice they have forced New York & Porkopolis down to 95; but at that fig- ure it fms shown remurkable elasticity and almost immediately rebounded to 906.97. Large blocks have been taken for London account, and it seems as though some strong parties on the other side of the Atlantic were sustaining this market. From Ezekiel Higgins to John Stamford. NEew YoRrg, t. 17.—Dear Stom- ford: I find that it is absolutely impos- sible to buy New York & Porkopolis stock without running the price up. The instant a bid is made for it it bounds up as though cornered; and so far from being able to get “‘long” of the stock, I have not yet been able to cover my ‘‘shorts.” My broker tells me that London bas been purchasing heavily, and that all my sales have been taken on English account. The rate war has lost its effect, and 80 now we must have o big strl ilke all over the sys- tem., It is no use doing things by halves. If we don’t break the market somehow we shall be unuble to mect our contracts, Therefore, issue a general order that on account of the heavy losses the road has recently incurred the wages of all engineers, conductors, switchmen, fire- men, trackmen, ;lu'dmun and mechanics are reduced by 20 per cent. Not aman on the road will stand that and in a week we shan't have a train runnhlg on the entire system. 1f that doesn’t scare these English fanciersof our stock into selling I shall be surprised. Yours very faithfully, E. HIGGINS, Extract lrom the New York Stockbreaker, October 2, Yesterday, as had been expected for some days past, a gigantic strike took place on the New York & Porkopolis, and not a wheel has been turned during the last twenty-four hours. In spite of this gloomy outlook the market has shown extraordinary strength, and all efforts of the “‘bears” have been un- availing, London appeared as a buyer on every slump, and fresh purchases of New York & Porkopolis were made by the Britishers, The persistency with which this stock has be bought for foreign account is a pu 1o the “‘etreot” and a woll known broker to- duy in commenting on it cugyked that there was a mauvais g ?hturu in store for some one, @ Another extract from same October 10, The wildest excitement ‘reigned on *"Change” yesterday. No sooner had the gong sounded than an excited orowd gathered around the New York & l‘nrk(l»olu corner, and bidding for that stock commenced; but while there vore dozens of biokers with orders 1o 'y, there were appu: "nlly no sellers. and the stock was rapidly bid up amidst the wildest excitement. It jumped five and six points at a time until it stood at 180, and at that figure some purchases were effected; but only enough stock was fortheoming to whet the appotite of those who wanted it; and then it con- tinued its upward career until it reached 250, at which price it now stands. Many ‘‘bear” veterans have fatlen in the com- bat; and it is ramored that a large and well known operator, who is also a rail- rond president, 18 in trouble. If this re- port be true, some curious rovelations may be expected. Another extract from same, October 11. The deal in New York & Porkopolis culminated yesterday with th« most dis- graceful revelations. Mr. Ezekiel Hig-~ gins, president of the road, announced that he was unable to meet his engage ments, being heavily short on the stoi which had been cornered by a elique of London capitalists, the banking firm of Brachrach Brothers being said to be at its head. With his failure was also an- nounced that of five directors of the same road. What a reflection. on our national credit. The directors and president of one of our largest corporations fnrm‘d into bankruptey through ‘“‘bearing” the shares of the company of which they are the head. It appears now that the war of rates and the stride were both inaugurated for the express purpose of smashing the cket; but that by some means Brach- rach brothers discovered the plot, and immediately organized a syndicate to corner New York & Porkopolis. The brokers of this syndicate had orders to buy every share of that road offered for sale; and not only has it now obtained entire control of the company, but it has laid hors de combat some of our foremost, and apparently most unseru- pulous, operators. President Higgins and General Manager Stamford both resigned last night, From Frank Stamford to his Brother, Xohn Stam for LONDON, Oct. 15.—Dear John: Thanks for the tip. I had no money to myself; so I went to -Alfred chrach, of Brachrach Brothers, and offered o give him some information. He said if he used it he would pay handsomely, so I gave him your letter.

L Origin of “My Uncle.” The term uncle’s, as applied to a pownbroker’s shop, says & writer in Notes and Queries, is said to be a_pun on the Latin word uncus, a hook. Pawnbrokers employed a hook to lift articles pawned before spouts were adopted. ““Gone to uncus,” therefore, is exactly tantamount to the modern phrase, *“up the spout.” In French the concierge of a prison is called uncle, be- cause the prisoners are *‘kept there in pawn’ by the government. In the seventeenth century a usurer was called “*my uncle” in the Walloon provinces because of his near connection with the spendthrifts, called in Latin nepotes, nephews. e Come to the bridal chamber, Death!

This Was Many Years Ago, and These Sturdy Sons of Toll Are Now Worth Millions—A Ne- braska Crocsus. Golden Dreams Realizad. The recent death of James C. Flood, the money king. has recalled his pro- gress from poverty to afluence and in- fluence and naturally recalls tothe New York Telegram the circumstances that in half a century or less of time have pro- duced so many men whose dollars run up 1o the seveu figures, One does not have to go very far back to discover the plebeian origin of some of our most wealthy citizens. John Mackay—Flood’s partner in days gone by—who has marvied his daughter 10 & prince, once wore on his hands the rough blisters raised by the pick of the miner. Flood wasthe partner of **Billy” O'Brien in the proprietorship of “The Auction Lunch Rooms,” that flourished about twenty years ago on Washington street, opposite the San Francisco Post- office. They were small dealers, the lunch supplied was cooked by Mrs. Flood and brought down to the saloon by her. It consisted of a round of beef, afew potatoes and some bread, butter and radishes. The two other bonanza kings were Mackay and Fair. Flood and O'Brien ran _the saloon to make money for working the Consolidated Virginia. Mackay attended to the miner’s work and Fair attended to the deals, They have later had not a few troubles and bickerings that caused dissensions, but the money still stays with each. It is not so many dozen years since the founder of the Astor family eame to this country as a small dealer in fu He bought’ land where it could be ob- tained for almost one of the tunes of an old tambourive, and held it until it promised too much to be easily pai with. ters of 1837 were mkcn advantage of hv William B.

There is Jay Gould, whose wealth has been estimated at $300,000,000. He came to New York from alittle village up the state with nothing but a_plucky spirit, o lively temperamentand a pat- ent for a mousetrap—‘‘and a good trap it was,” as his son George said recently on the witness stand in one of the city courts. Since then Gould has dealt in traps designed for bigger game—for lambs, bulls and even bears—and has become in finance a weasel that is hard to catch asleep. Previous to the death of his wife—whom he loved dearly—he was known as a humorous fellow at times; and when, not long ago, stories concerning his bad state of health were circulated, he offered proofs of their falsity in the fact that he “‘could shake ‘Wall street to its foundations by simply standing on the steps of the Sfock change building and waving his hand Cyrus W. Field began life as a clerk in a New England store, and was once employed by the late A. I\ Stewart at the munificent salary of $50 a vear. This was not quite to his liking and he took to selling newspapers. Ho had a faculty of keeping money and knowing how to invest it. His pile is estimated at abaut #20,000,000, and if you were to ask him how he made it he would answer: ““Hard work. That will accomplish any- thing.” He received, it is said, $500,000 from Colonel Elliott I. Shepard for his newspaper property, the Mail and Ex- press. Shepard—who, by the way, is also a millionaire, but who was simoly a poor lawyer until luck secured him an al- liauce with_one of the Vanderbilt girls —has already derived more fame from his_newspaper property than Field could ever hope to attain as a news- paper man. Love gave Shepard his million, but to the bible he owes his fame. Andrew Carnegie, the author of {Triumphant Democracy,” began life’s labors as a boy in a cotton mill. He was successively = engineer, telegraph messenger, operator, railroad divi- sion superintendent and oil specu- lator. He is now a “millionaire iron manufacturer, and -not unmindful of his early days. He has two hobbies, co-operation and education, and unsel” fishly devotes money and time to their propagation. He says **a man o0 dies worth a million dollars dies in dis- grace.” That he is in earnest is shown in the fact that he gives away, every years, seven or eight times as much money as he spends. Senator John J. Jones, of Nevada, who is several time a millionaire, is the most popular senator who visits New York.eThe announcement in any of the dailies to the effect that he is in town is sufficient to bring to him crowds of visitors, But the friends whom the senator most welcomes are not members of “first class sociaty, hut horny-handed sons of toil with ~Wwhom the world has not dealt very leniently. They know the senator from the early days of California, when he worked be- side them for a day’s pay. He doesn't forget old times, or fail to remember the old friends who shared the vicissi- tudes of his younger days. Some years ago he met With reverses that nearly reduced him to his old position at tho foot of fickle fortune, but a boom in the Consolidated Virginia mine set him on his feet again uu& he once move rolls 1n milhons.

He went to Michigan twenty-five years ago with only $100 in his pocket. He started in the clothing business on a_ borrowed capital of $200, and, spent the $100 ho had in hiring a brass band and four horses and scattering circulars adver tising his business. Physically h~ doesn’t amount to much, as lLe stand® only five foot high, but his standing in the community is not to be gauged by this, for he is a “big gun' and very popular. St. Paul has a man who owes his for- tune to a streak of good luck. Hisname is Dennis Ryan, and he began his ca- reer on a westorn railroad with a pick and shovel, That was in the days when labor was highly repaid, and, as Dennis was very thpifty, ten years’ savings placed him above dependence. He al- ways had an eye to_the future, and one investment of 5,000 in a Colorado mine, which he made a fow years ago, is said to have netted him $2,000,000, Edwin Blewitt, presiaent of the Iirst National bank of I“’romm\t, Neb., is re- garded as a typical Nebraskan by his fellow citizens. At the age of thirteen he drove an ox-team across the plains, barefooted and friendless; at eighteen he was 810,000 in debt. He is now' at the head of one of the largest horse ranches in the west and worth over a million., The women of America who have sprung to wealth from poverty in a few years would make a creditable list, a fair sample being Mrs. Paran Stevens, who owns.the Victoria hotel in New k, and who was in her girlhood a waitress in a Lowell, (Mass.) restaurant.
