New YoRK, April 2l.-At the Eric In.
vestigatiGn to-day, John j. Cisco testified
that he was President of the meeting Of
directors which voted the $4,000 TO
Vanderbilt, and having full confidence
in tho statements Of the officers, consider
ed that the recent dividends should have
been declared. The BeschoGshiem con-
tract, he regarded as very favorable TO the
company.
w. Il. Peckham declared entirely true,
the statements made by Sherman on Sat.
urd0y, and that he, PeCkham, had receiv:
ed money for Attorney General Barlow,
and that he divided $4,000 fee with
the Attorney General.
s. j. Tilden testified that he never had
received money from, nor knew Of any
being paid by Fisk and Gould for pollti-
cal purposes.
L. L. NJ. Barlow, at his own request,
testified that the earning OF theKric Rail-
road justified the dividend Of February
last, which was paid out Of the surplus
eSrnings, and that no part OF the legal or
other current expenses was charged TO
the construction account.
&C. Clark, Treasurer Of the New York
Central, testified that he never knew Of
money being paid by the Central Com
pany for legislation.
G. W. Morrislni, lato Auditor Of the
Erie Railroad, testified in opposition to
his statements.
L.M.L Barlow, regarded the surplus
earnings as justiiying the declaring Of q
February dividend on common stock, and
that the surplus earnings Of the road for
the first six months Of 1879 were only
$11, 900, that was up to the 1st of July.
He left on the S0th Of September, and the
earnings from tho 1st Of July until then
had decreased very largely on account Of
coal strikes and other causes. He lett the
Erie office because the new board oI
directors wanted him to give private in
formation about the previous management
Of the road aud treated him as spy more
than Auditor.
Horace +. Clark was examined but his
testimony Is unimportant.
