would have a tendency to oppress the value

ny, and have bad effect on the pending
negotiations IN New York, Mr.. Eldridge
gave Drew $4,000 from his own pocket, as
he was carrying from five to six hundred
thousand dollars worth of stock on his own
riak and account, besides having interests in
both corporations pressing on him. Drew
said he could make $2j,00O in New ork
by the operation, and that combination
had been formed to affect the value Of secu-
rites. He, Eldridge, knew that an effort
had been previously made to cut down secu.
rites by telegraphing false snles TO New
York. The money paid Drew was not
charged to either road he was connected
with, and was entirely from his own purse.
Eldrldge explained that the charge that
$4,000, 600 had been paid by the Boston,
Hartford & Erie road for lobby purposes,
was caused by the fact that it was charged
TO agencies, instead Of profit and loss from
the differences Of the price Of stocks and
bonds in the market. Drew was absent and
will be examined at future meeting of the
committee.
