Vanderbilt Tells Reporter His Side of

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-W. II. Vanderbilt was
asked by Tribune reporter yesterday if he
was willing to make any reply to CARROTS
charges, published Saturday. He said: 81
have no formal answer. What have hereto
fore stated at different times covers my position:
! have glanced over Garrett's communication
but have not had time to read it carefully. I
am punctual business man and cannot de-
vote myself exclusively to literature. His
views are expressed with such volume of
words that It would be almost impossible for
any one to have time sufficient to read them,
and also run a railroad. l think
one cause of the failure of the
presidents of the trunk lines to agree
is the exhaustion prodnced by Garrstt's inter-
minable talks at their meetings. There are no
differences of opinion among us, on this point
at least. / gather the impression that most
of the matters treated of by him are ancient
history and not accurately reported at that.
If the New York Central has stood
alone at the trunk line meetings it
has generally been upon questions affecting
not only it's wellfafe but that of the state and
city of New York, as well as its efforts to pro-

which respectfully belong to this port. These
lines, and especially the Baltimore & Ohio,
seek by expensive connections to reach the
territory naturally served by the New York
Central and its connections, and then strike at
it in two ways: in secretly cutting rates first,
and in divisions of traffic from New York to
their own cities, aud second by lower contracts
to their own points and terminus. Then,
when we discover this violation of
good faith and make our rates to confirm to
theirs, they naturally cry out we are demoral-
izing business and running properties. No
matter whether it is New York, New England,
Philadelphia or Baltimore business, all we ask
is that it shall be fairly adjusted, and if the
adjustment is not maintained it will be
because the New York Central discovers
as it did prior to the present so-called war,
that it was being cheated, and somebody had
broken faith. We have cut no rates. We
have met them. Whatever any other line was
willing to carry for we were ready to follow

accidentally Shot.

Little Falls Transcript, Sept 80: Four
boys went out shooting last Sunday and
crossed on the river to an Island, where
they shot some small game. While seat
ed together talking over their sport a
partridge appeared, and one of the boys
by the name Of Neill took his gun and
went after the bird. Almost directly the
boys heard the report of gun, and look
ing around saw young Neill throw up his
hands above his head and fall to the
ground. They Immediately went to his
assistance, only to see him make few
gasps and die ON the spot. The parents
were informed of the sad affair, and the
boy was taken home-dead. This was a
terrible blow to them, to see their son of
fourteen summers, who had left home
but short time in health, carried in a
corpse. The coroner, DR.. McMannis,
was notified, who went out to investigate
the case, and on hearing the statements
of the boys was satisfied that it was pure
ly an accident and dismissed the case. 1t
appears the shot had entered the right
groin and gone upward into the body. 1t
is supposed he stumbled while stepping
over log, and the gun being cooked
went off by the jerk given it.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
The Quarterly Report Of DUN, Wymdn d

The Quarterly Report of Dun, lyman &
Co IS Agency.
NEW YORK, Sept. SO.-The failures for nine
months ending Sept. 80, 1881, are reported by
Dun, Wyman & Co. as $500, as compared
with 8 3,476 for the corresponding period of
1850. The liabilities for three quarters of the
present year were $51 100000, as compared
with s45,0O0,OOO for the same
period of 1880. The failures for the
last three months have been 1,0A, with liza
bilities of $40, 900, 600, while in the third quar-
ter of 1880 they were 979, with liabilities of
$l2,O0O.900. The geographical distribution
of failures shows that the Southern states suf-
fered somewhat, inasmuch as the figures in
dicate their liabilities for the first three months
of 1850 were only $S4S ,000, as against 81 ,054,
600 for the present quarter. On the other hand ,
for the Western states, the liabilities show a
decline of nearly s650,000 in favor OF
this quarter. In the Middle states the liabili.
ties are about 81 ,OOO, 900 less in amount than
in the corresponding period of 1880. In the
Eastern and Pacific states the liabilities are
but little different from those of last year. In
Canada an exceptionally good condition of
affairs has prevailed, the failures for the last
three months having been but 130, with liza
bilities of $707, 900. This is a better showing
than has been made in the Dominion for any
quarter in the past six years.

STAR ROUTE PROSECUTIONS.
The Sympathy of District Petit Jurors
Generally Against the Government.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-One of the counsel
retained by the government in the prosecution
of the star route cases, who is thoroughly
familiar with the results of jury trials in the
District for twenty years, said to-day there
tanning indictments in the star route
cases. The grand jury. although drawn in
pretty much the same way as petit jurors,
rarely hold out against the government II it
has any case at all, and the present grand jury
is very fair one as grand juries 60. 1t is
with petit juries that the government is gen.
orally at a disadvantage in this district The
history of the prosecutions for the conspira.
cles and frauds on the government for the past
twenty years is not encouraging to those who
expect certain justice in presenting cases.
Out of twenty-five cases in which have been
for defense since 1868, I have seen but
one of my clients punished. Other lawyers
have had a similar experience. Washington
is probably the worst city In the country to
try cases in which the general government is
prosecutor. The population is made up large
ly from those who look on government po-
sition as something to be made the most of.
Then there are many of its people who have
had claims, or who have lost positions, or
who have applied for places and failed to get
them. These have grudge against the gov
ernment and there are strong social and pO-
litical interests favorable to the accused.
There is scarce clerk in the postoffice depart
ment who has not some sympathy with them.
: The leading papers here are either secretly
Or openly in sympathy with the star route
'eontractors, and the attorney general and
postmaster general have been held up as ma
liciOus prosecutors of political or personal en-
ennis. The persistent efforts of these papers
have, perhaps, created some public opinion.
The accused rely on it, at any event, and say
that the cost of retaining or purchasing news
papers is well spent. Nearly every one of
the accused has held important
places under the government, and some have
had great patronage to distribute, and there
are many here who are grateful for past
favors. They haYe now plenty of means, and
will have as able lawyers 10 defend them as
can be found in the country. The government
will not have an easy victory, that's certain.
"a BRADY's PLAN.
1t is understood that Gen. Brady's counsel
will tomorrow enter motion in the circuit
court to strike from the records the informal
ton presented Friday last by counsel for The
government. This step it is said, will be
taken on the grounds that the proceeding was
unusual, and that the facts alleged and set
forth In the information are insufficient to
maintain an action.
