| MR.. sTICKNRY's RESIGNATION.
The statement made by the GLOBE about a
week ago, that Mr.. A. B. Stickney, vice presi.
dent OF the Minneapolis & st. Loais road, had
resigned, is now fully confirmed by
Mr.. Stickney himself. When the
statement was made In these
| fact, but as Mr.. Stickney was not in St. Paul
at the time, it could not be verified by him.
For week or more he has been busy az Fari-
bault and elsewhere about the Cannon Valley
road and could not be seen. He was found,
however, yesterday, in his Office in the David.
| son block, and questioned in regard to the
matter OF his resignation. He was adverse to
saying anything, not thinking 1t to be of suf-
| fcient public impor lance to make it desirable
| or proper for him to say anything. A good
| many questions we're put TO him, however,
some of which were answered and some were
| not. The substance OF the replies he made,
when put together In connected form 10 as
| follows:
| Last November / made 8 conditional con-
| tract with the Minnesota Central Railroad
company. to furnish the means, and build the
road from Red Wing to Mankato. One con-
dition of the contract was that should build
| the conditions on their part which requires
me to build the twenty miles, and that twenty
miles I propose to build between Waterville
and Faribault. have five years in which to
| construct the balance, at my option. When
these men took control of the Minneapolis &
| St. Louis road told them all about this con-
tract, and at the same time told them that I
would prefer to resign my position of vice
president, as I had business enough to occupy
my time and attention Independent of
the duties devolving upon me through
my connection with the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road. a construction comany was formed
| the incorporators of which are A. B. Stick
ney, A. E. Bramhall, G. Gotzian, W. B. Dean
and R. G.. Deathe, OF St. Paul; Joel May, of
| Saltwater, and ]. @. Pierce, OF Red Wing.
| The main purpose of this corporation is to
construct railroads, to take and deal in bonds,
mortgages, etc., etc. and to do all things nee.
esssry in the way Of constructing railroads.
| The headquarters will bs in st. Paul. It will
| continue thirty years from the 18th instant.
1t is to have capital OF $500, 600, divided in
| to shares of $50 each, 10 per cent. Of which is
| to bs paid in and the balance as ordered by the
| DO ird of directors.
When aked If any ACTON had been
| taken On his letter OF resignation
Mr.. stickney replied that he did not think any
| formal action had been taken. He had re-
| ceived letter, however, from Mr.. Cable in re-.
| gard to the matter, which he did not care to
| have published, still as the matter was out
| he did not know but it might be as well to
| have full statement OF the matter, and SO
passed over the following letter:
CHICAGO, May Is, 1882.
A. B. stickney, Esq, Vice President of the
Minneapolis Il st. Louis Railway.
DEAR SIR: regret that your engagements
| with the Minnesota Central Railroad company
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis, and must ask you TO
| remain with US, giving US as much time as
possible, for ct least thirty days, until can
| make arrangements that will be satisfactory
to US. 1t seems to me it would have been
| more advantageous for you to remain with
this company than to take position with a
| new organization. OF this, OF course, you are
better judge than can be, not knowing the
| entire surroundings. hope to gee you about
June 1, when / shall visit st. Paul. Very truly
yours, r. r. CABLE.
The above explains the status of the case.
Mr.. stickney has resigned the position OF vice
president of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road
| to attend to business of his own, which he
considers Of more importance to him than the
position he resigned. His resignation has not
yet been accepted, but probably will
be in due time. In the mean.
time the president OF the road
letter, requesting him to remain with The
company for a time yet, which Mr.. Stickney
will probably do. This, therefore, is the
whole history Of the matter.
