OF ST., CvO per year, sad: II heard something
about this runner in Wall street some weeks
ago, but did not think it worth contradicting,
for no one who knows anything about the
matter would believe | was gong TO make
such a change, and perhaps increase the value
of stock Of which held very little, and de-
crease the value of stock OF which | hold,
comparatively, great deal. This is simply j
Wall street tale which has fouLd its way into
the newspapers. The only causes for it that
l can think OF are the facts that l bought a
big house in Louisville when l was there this
spring, and that my son, who lives there, was
elected director of this road This guesstr,
whoever he is, VIII have to try again"
