what MIR. Jewett Says.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Mr. Jewett
says that his acceptance of the Presi-

would correct many errors, which he
should strive to retrieve in the future

stockholders, and his reputation as a
railroad man would not suffer there
from. He would make himself thor
oughly cognizant of all the workings
of the road.
