MIA and Texas Construction Company
The Effects upon the Texas and Pa
etfic and PennsylvanIa Railroads.
The main cause Of the depression in the
stock market and on the street was the pub
| lication of the statement that the California
and Texas Construction Company was en-
barrassed- This company, it will DO OBJ
served, bears practically tho same relation
to the Texas and Pacific Railway that the
Credit Mobilier did to the Union Pacific
Railroad. The Construction Company, as
has been stated. was organized for the pur-
pose of building the Texas and Pacific Rail
way, and bad q capital Of SIC, 600. 600, of
which 50, 600, 600 had been subscribed,
SO, 900, 600 called in, and 81, 600, 600 paid
in cash. The subscribers to this stock, it is
understood, were not only liable for the
So, 600, 600 which had not been paid in, but
also for the balance Of the 50, 600, 600 stock
subscribed. The persons interested in the
Texas and Pacific were also interested in
the Construction Company, but at the be-
ginning of the panic nearly all were weak
ened and some were obliged to suspend.
As the work of construction advanced the
California and Texas Company gave its pa
per when II was deemed advisable or
when cash was not ready. Some
Of this paper, aggregatlng $500, 600, fell
due on Tuesday, and the Company, bow
ing to the prevailing stringencY, was unable
to obtain the money to meet its obliga-
tions Col Thomas a. Scott, President Of
the Texas and Pacific. J. Edgar Thompson,
Matthew Baird, and Samuel FELTON, were un-
derstood to be heavy indorsers Of the com
paDy's paper, and as they were also heavily
interested in the Pennsylvania Railroad and
other companies, It was Immediately in
ferTed that If they had allowed their paper
10 60 to protest there must be trouble IN the
other enterprises with which they. were
identified.
Inquiry was made Of the officials con-
nected with the companies affected by the
rumor. II had been reported thai the
Texas and Pacific Railroad had also gone 70
protest; but inquiry Of Mr. Hart, the sec
rotary Of the company, elected the informa-
ton that this was untrue The road had
not gone 70 protest He did not believe
that If matters continued az they are at
present that the Texas and Pacific Company
would do much to extend the road They
would probably do nothing until they
could obtain the money whereWith 10 ope-
rate safely. They had not negotiated their
bonds 50 that the community q large was
not affected By the failure as II had been BY
other new railroad enterprises. Mr.. Hart
expected that the Construction Company
would obtain an extension, and that matters
wsuld soon resume their normal condition.
