denials, the belief is gaining ground in Wall
street and at the uptown hotels, particularly at
the Windsor, where bankers and brokers most
do congregate, that the interview between the
two on that fatal afternoon to Mr. Vanderbilt,
was not altogether pleasant. Mr.. Garrett has
certainly acted in most peculiar manner. Last
night the dude president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, as he is familiarly known, sent his friend
Pangborn to all the newspaper Offices, instruct
ing him to deny the story that the interview be-
tween himself and Mr.. Vanderbilt was anything
but pleasant in fact the pleasansest ne had ever
had with the son Of the old Commodore
who was his fathers bitterest enemy.
Mr.. Pangborn said Mr.. Vanderbilt had
sent for Mr.. Garrett to congratulate him upon
securing an entrance into New York by way of
Staten Island. Mr.. Vanderbilt is reported by
Mr.. Pangborn to have said that anything that
benefited Staten Island interested him. Mr..
Vanderbilt further said that he had often advised
Franklin B. Gowen, OF the Reading. that Staten
Island was valuable point of entry into New
York for the Reading When the newspaper
the Brevoort House, to see if he authorized such
an interview the one stated by Mr.. Pangborn,
Mr.. Garrett became violently angry, and then
called down and requested the newspapers not to
publish the Pangborn interview. Mr.. Garrett
and his friends are protesting too much that the
last interview with Mr.. Vanderbilt was not un-
pleasant. 1t is stated here by some of the
shrewdest men OF the street that the two sons of
the fathers who were at swords points on all
occasions entertained anything but the pleasant
est views OF each other,
Garrett had borrowed in the neighborhood Of
$22, 600, 600 to fight the Pennsylvania and enable
the Baltimore & Ohio to get into Philadelphia.
He wanted to get into New York and thought
weaken his big adversary so that it would be a
comparatively easy matter to get his line into
this city. When Vanderbilt joined hands with
the Pennsylvania, it is stated that Mr.. Garrett
took it for granted that the move was dictated
by desire to ally himself with the Pennsylva-
MIA against the Baltimore & Ohio. It is further
stated that the Pennsylvania people had in
formed Mr.. Vanderbilt that he must cease his
South Pennsylvania scheme unless he wanted
the Baltimore e Ohio to have an easy job to get
into New York. At least this was the impression
gained by Mr.. Garrett. He confirmed in
his opinion when he learned that only short
time ago Mr.. Vanderbilt said Franklin B.
Gowen might use his stock, by proxy, at
the coming annual election. 1t is matter
of Wallstreet history that for several
years Gowen and Vanderbilt had not been on
friendly terms. Mr.. Vanderbilt owned 100 900
shares of Reading, which he accused Gowen
with loading him up with, at so there
