Mr. w. n. Vanderbilt Is a great railroad
man and bids fair to surpass his father, the
old Commodore, in that line Of business. Ac-
cording to the Albany IN. " Argus, Mr.. Van
sierhilt has for some time been endeavoring to
get control of the Michigan Central road,
which he has just purchased, and that during
late years he has been buying up all OF its
stock that he could get at market value His
control of the road at this time has not been
gained by borrowing proxies, but by the ac-
tual ownership by himself of majority of
the stock, representing an investment OF about
$IO,000,000 This indicates that he has
sought control of the road for O pur-
pose and means to keep it. The Detroit
Post and Tribune thinks his plans and
purposes are not very obscure. There are on
the Atlantic seaboard three rival cities, each
with It's great railroad corporation reaching
out into and even beyond the valley of the
Mississippi. Baltimore, with its Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad; Philadelphia, with its
Pennsylvania Railroad and New York, with
its New York Central. These great railroads
are all grasping for all the roads they can get.
yanderbllt's latest movements in the interest
of the New York Central are: The gaining
control Of the Atlantic and Great Western
which fatally cripples the Erie and makes it
of no further consequence in the fight, and at
the same time gives the New York Central an
important connection with Cincinnati and the
South, foraging in the fields Of its Baltimore
and Ohio rival, and the gaining control of the
Michigan Central which Is of consequence
simply as a movement in the general plan
and not In and OF itself. There Is q rival at
the northward Of the New York Central
which disturbed Mr.. Vanderbilt's peace of
mind This is the Grand Trunk, with it's sea-
ssoard outlets at Montreal, Portland and Bos-
ton; cutting squarely into the New York Cen
trail business If this road were to get into
Chicago it would be formidable rival for the
business of the West and Northwest.
