The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded

When Commodore Vanderbilt W as run
ming steamboats,, he beat all rivals by
crowding ON steam TO the utmost, and
even running down his enemy if neces-
sary, to accomplish triumph. When
he went into railroading, he adopted a
much shrewder and much more success
ful way, by uniting vast lines and their
tributaries under his own management,
thus capturing all rivals, by shalin with
them the immense pool of profits that
were made by his skillful manipulation.
Messrs Lawrence & Co, Bankers, n
Y, accomplish much greater su ,ce,s in
stock operations by their new Cont ina

the orders of thousands of customers are

There seems to be no doubt that Evan

wine, will be sent to New Castle, this
afternoon.
AT two o'clock, his counsel, Levi q.

IL is therefore very probable that Mar
