Depew, as President of the New York Cen

Ohio of the contemplated action in regard
to the latter's telegraph wires along the
West Shore. 1t is considered even
more strange that Garrett should
select that day, of all Others, to
aall upon Vanderbilt for the first
time. Depew said that Garrett merely de-
sired to make social call, and that busi-
ness had nothing to do with it. Garrett

He had been ill--in fact, had not re-

the attack on Fort Sanders began
