dent Aug. Schell. Vice President

was started at from nine to fifteen MIL
lions, and the poolers operated through
Geo. B. Grinnsll & Co. With the ap-

raise money to keep their margins
good aud hold their stock. Finally,
on an imperative demand from their
brokers for more money, they, as
officers of the Lake Shore Company,
called upon themselves, as officers OF
the Trust Company, for bonds held by
the latter company-amounting to
$3.50, OOO-which were taken by Grin
nell &c Co., who were authorized to
raise needy money on them. Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, succeeding Clark In

legal means prevented the Union Trust
Company from making the transfer Of

Of the pool should either replace the
bonds or their equivalent. Banker has

estate valued at 500. 900, the Commo-
dore has assumed Clark's share, and
Schell Is said to be doing his best to
make good his share.
