Charles P. Clark, receiver of the New York &
New England railroad delivered an interesting
address, last week, before the b. Y. M. G. A of
New England, on Organization in Business,
Particularly in Railroadingr The address was
devoted principally to a rapid sketch of the
methods employed in The business of great
railroad corporation. He maintained that the
operation of railroad required more care than
Is required in banking or other business cor
P0ration. The responsible head of the railroad
corporation must keep strong hand on all of
the elements that enter into its daily working
Take, for instance the officer who has charge of
tho every day expenditures of the road. He
must be man of strong WILL yet possessed of a
keen sense of justice, and of what is
right and wrong. and back of all, he
must have force Of will sufficient to do that
which is the best for the road he is serving
Responsible as are the duties of the leading
officers of the railroad corporation there are sub
Ordinates of whom the greatest fidelity is re-
Qulred, and who have great load of responsible
ity resting upon them. These cold nights, said
he, there are hundreds of men walking up and
down the railroads of the Commonwealth on
whose fidelity rests the safety Of every passenger
y They are looking out for broken rails, repairing
them when found and are constantly on the
watch for danger. Men who at the head of

rightfuiiy belongs to those faithful men
who are out upon the tracks, whose eyes,
when on duty, never sleep, and who
are constantly iaboring for the safe trans
portation of the great travelling public
Mr.. Clark then dwelt upon the work done in the
repair shop No more common yet mistaken
idea exists than that an engine or a car, once ON
the track, is always in order Repairs are con-
stantly being called for He referred to the
900 different pieces of ircn brass. glass or steel
found in a single loeomotiye-5, 500 pieces in the
engine and 2. 900 pieces in the tender-eyery one
having certain duty to perform and every one
liable TO rust or break; aud then spoke OF the
large force of men kept constantly employed in
The repair of the rolling stock. The earnings of
a railroad the speaker divided into two general
heads, the passenger and the freight He gave
his hearers rough idea of the vast amount of
labor required in each department to keep the
business on systematic and thorough basis,
and in conclusion he drew a lesson of the fidelity
exacted from the employees of a road, and ex-
pressed the opinion that in no business was such
faithfalness required from the high and low Off
GERS alike as in that Of railroading.

ABOUT CORPORATIONS.
Mr.. Thurston Differs From MIR. BIcDer-
mott-The Red star Docks.

II can scarcely agree with President
McDermott's views about the valuations
fixed upon the property of the National
Storage, and the American Dock and Inn
provement Companies" said Mr.. Charles
B. Thurston to one of the TArTLER repre-
sentatives the other day. "The figures
quoted by him as the purchase money of
the several tracts to which his commune
cation refers, do not fairly represent the
value to be affixed to them. In the first
place property has decreased in value since
the purchases were made In the. second
place-and this is the important point-the
purchase money was paid in bonds that
were worth only about 80 per cent of their
face. So with the 81, 800, 900 tract pur-
chased by the West Shore Railroad Com
pany. That was paid for in deprecated
bonds, and do not believe that the tract
cost more than $550,000. The tax value
fixed by President McDermott upon the
property of the two first named Companies
more than represents the market value of
the property. While 1 am talking on this
subject, | may say something too, about
communication l saw in the Journal the
other evening 1t charged the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company with having fought
the Cunard line of steamers out of the city
to make way for the Red Star line. On
the other hand we endeavored to induce
Mr.. Franklyn and the other Cunard mana
gers to stay at our dock. and perhaps, if
they had been left to themselves we should
have been successful. But they were di-
rected by the managers across the ocean to
go to New York. For two years after they
had taken their vessels away, the docks
were without tenant, and we let wharf
privileges then to the tramp vessels that
made their way into port, and had no
abiding place. During that time we paid
more for water service than the wharfage
amounted to. I know ali about this dock
matter, for the management of the water
front of the Pennsylvania Railroad is ex-
in my hands"

A NIischfevOus Boy Stirs up Two Con.
greRattOns by Playing a Huge
Practical Joke ON his Devout Mother
The baptism of Otto Schlegel, by Rev.
Mr.. Sieferts, pastor of the German Baptist
Church at Union Hill, has led to church
war that is convulsing all North Hudson.
The boy who is fourteen years old, resides
with his widowed mother on Morgan
street, near New York avenue. She at
tends the German Lutheran church, of
which Rev. DR.. Schoppe is pastor The
boy had been familiar with the son of Mrs.
Koehler, a lady who is a member of DIR.
Seiferts church for long time. One even
inf Mrs. Koehler asked Schlegel, who had
been to her house on visit, to attend her
church that evening. Schlegel agreed, and
fora long time atterward continued his
visits with Mrs Koehler to the Baptist
chnrch Finally the subject of hap ism
was broacned to the BOY by DR.. Seifert.
He said he would ask his mother and she
forbade him even to attend the church.
He continued to visit to the Koehlers and
to the church. Mrs. Schlegel even went
to the trouble to notify Rev. Mr.. Seifert
not to baptise the boy, but
in spite of her protestations the
ceremony was performed. Young Schle-
gel was afraid to go home, and for three
days he was harbored, DR.. Schoppe says,
by the Koehler family. His mother sus-
pected where he was, and went to the
Koehlers and led the lad home by the ears.
His acceptance of the rite of baptism had
made him amenable to discipline. DIR.
Schoppe stood by to see that it was proper
ly administered. Mrs. Schlegel exhausted
herself as well as the boy in the effort. and
afterwards suffered lung bleeding as the
result. She has not even yet recovered
from the excitement. DIR. Schoppe was
not less excited than the mother. He
could not but protest against the stealing
of his spiritual lambs by the rival dominic.
He had doubts, too, about the legal effect
of the second baptism, and was altogether
In such frame of mind that he had to seek
advice. He consulted Recorder Schleicher.
The Recorder could only advise him to re-
strain his passions, and make an amicable
adjustment of the difficulty.
Rev. Mr.. Schoppe said to the TATTLER
representative last evening that he had
already baptized young Schlegel Rev.
Mr.. Seifert was, he said, making a
feature of running his parishioners into
the Baptist Church whenever he got
chance, and he was bound to
put an end to it, cost what it may
The difference between the two minis
ters is causing no end of gossip among the
North Hudson Burghers. In every saloon
in the region it was the one topic of con-
versation. It was said that young Schle-
gel is a mischievous little fellow, who is
not unknown to the police authorities of
the town, and that he was of the opinion,
when he submitted to the second baptism,
that he was perpetrating a good practical
joke on his mother and her dominic.
Rev. Mr.. Lompold of the German Evan
gelical Church, whose name has been lug
ged into the disagreement, has no con-
nection whatever iwih the row.
