AFFAIBs OF THE c., II. ANDD
Anew York specis. to the Cincinnati Com
mercisl Gazette says: The suit brought by
George Hafer. of Cincinnati, against the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad
Company, growing out of the contract made
by Hugh ]. Je~ett, as President of that road,
by which the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day.
ton Railroad Company was guaranteed a
dividend sof six per cent. on 81, 751 600 Of
strck, and about which a controversy has
ar, en- through the severance of Mr.. Jewett's
connection with the latter, is elicitiug con-
Siderable interest in this city. A Clnoin
Dati gentleman, who is interested in the vel
ton Road. said to night:
III is dighly probable that the Erie con-
Tract will be sustained, and il would
seem TO be for the best interest of the C.ncin .
natl, Hamilton and Dayton stockholders
frat This should be done. While there might
tie occssions when that road could earn
larger dividends than are guaranteed by the
Erie. at the tame time should it be deter
mined further to recognize Mr.. Jewett, the
Erie people might easily cay we will turn
our traffic away from the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ion and Dayton entirely, and what would
then become Of that company? Another
thing that leads me to believe that the mat.
Ter may be adjusted is that Vice President
G. c. Waite, OF thee, II. and l.. is q brother
in-law OF Mr.. Jewett. and / should not won
der II be were made President of the com
Iany.
President King, Of the Erie Company, who
was seen at his residence this evening said
to the Commercial Gazette correspondent:
"Ex-Secretary Bristow, who represents us,
left for Cincinnati last Friday, and have as
Het heard nothing from him. So far as the
Erie Railroad Company is concerned, We
are, OF course, perfectly willing to carry out
the contract with the c., II. and ID. There is
no controversy about that SO far as we are
concerned, at least"
