Railway likely to fan into the hands OF speculators
and stock gamblers, II we may Judge from the fol-
lowing developments which are made by the Coop
erstown FreemGn's Journal:-
In this connection timely word to the towns and
individual stockholders along the line OF the Albany

your road was now under the control OF the srail-
road men," spectators and stockholders OF Wall
street, DO you not see the vital importance OF main

pared to meet it9 A few weeks ago. in alluding to
an investigation into certain railroad matters or
dered by the Assembly Of this State we mentioned
the issuing OF bonds OF the Albany and SusQuehanna
Company with privilege OF taking stock at twenty
five cents the dollar, and suggested an inquiry into
the matter. We had heard rumors Of transaction
OF that character. Since then we met an ex-direc-
tor OF the road, who was In the board two years
ago. BY whom we were informed that year or more
ago, being In want OF funds to go with the con-
sIruction OF the road a loan was negotiated with
Daniel Drew, one Of the Wall street kings, on
pledge OF the bonds OF the company at seventy cents
on the dollar, with the privilege should the COM
pany not repay the loan within say fifteen months)

twenty-five cents on the dollar. He did not say that
this was done by any vote OF the board OF directors
but left US to infer that 1t was engineered by some
committed" However that may be ii Is not the
material point with the stockholders. What they
are now interested In Is the payment to Mr.. Drew OF
the loan in question and the canceling OF the
privilege OF taxing enough stock at twenty-five
cents on the dollar to give him the control
movement designed to effect that result; but any
one may see who will soon control the road unless
the directors exert themselves to pay of the tempo
rary loan in question In the interest OF the towns
and the stockholders along the line Of the road we
call upon the country directors especialiywe call
quchanna Railroad passing speedily into posses
sion OF Wall street stock operators-to take early
concentrated effort In Albany and along the line the
road the bonds hyp0thecated with Mr. Drew can be
sold without the stock subscription privilege for ali
he has agreed to pay for them 1t win be determined
this year whether those originally interested IN this
road, VINO made sacrifices, who built it and who ex-
pected to control it for many years to come shall do
SO, or whether D. Drew and perhaps few friends
he may have in the board shall hereafter manage it
as they see fit. We have stated the as we un-
derstand it, and now those interested must act or
take the consequences. II clear working majority
in the board are true to those who elected them all
will be well.
