several times alluded 10. powerful lobby, headed by
the wellknOwn George O. Jones, and intimately con
nected with Of the who are 80 vigorously
conducting the "bear" speculation in WslIst ~" 49,
busy since meeting of the eesainr" va "rs"nn'nE
war against Commodore Nanderbtlts property That
lobby won It's first victory to-day, victory over the

supposed to have Commodore Vanderbilts at heart
bill which a complete armory Of all the Ieapons with
which railroad property usually attacked from this
Capitol, was drawn up and an old Quaker Democrat
from Columbia County, named Ray, was selected to
introduce IT, The bill leids of with regulations
concerning petroleum trains passing each other
on bridges, then goes into the wateredstock

of Rufus Hatch's circulars; provides that no
railroad company shall Issue stock or certificates on

bids railroads pay than seveniper cent annually
on their capital un all the wooden bridges on their lines
have been replaced with iron ones aud makes special
provision that the Central and Hudson shall pay but
