The vanderbilts Buy the uoStetter Inter-
est in the r. & l.. +. Road.


PrrrsBURe, January 222.-While there was
considerable talk among brokers anil bank
ers in regard to the reported purchase of
the Hostetter interests in the Iittsburg &
Lake Erie railroad by the Vandcrbilts
there was no special flurrn or excitement
on account of the rumor, because
the Nanderbilts had been practically in
possession OF the road. President Newell
ami officials of the line exercise typical
railroad reticence relating to the subject.
ID. Herber Hostetter is also non-commit-
tai. A prominent broker, who is
very close to the interested pirties,
said yesterday: g Tie report is
true. 1 know that the IIostetter interest
in the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railroad
was bought by the V,n lcrbilts Last
Wednesday. The consideration is known
oi:ly to few. This will increase the power
of the Vanderbilts, alth housl they con-
trolled the road before, and after their
winning the '.Trust" suits the power they
possessed was ample enough to be Dictator
ial. The inside reasons of the deal may
possibly never be known. In all probable
ity though, it was simply purchased as a
good investment"
The best informed authorities in finan-
cial affairs agreed that it was simply guess
work to say what the VanderbiIts would or
would not do with the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie. rs to any 'uturc possible connections.
The annual meeting of the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie, which is to be held tomorrow.
is principally for the purpose of hearing
the reports of the managers and elccting a
board OF directors for the ensuing year.

BLACK EYE FOR GERMANY.

England Sides Will, Us and Will Send
Two More big Ships to its Pacific
Squadron.
LONDON, January 22-It was stated upon
most excellent authority that the English
government has decided to uphold the
treaty by the,proyisions of which European
powers are prccludeI from obtaining or
attempting to obtain dominance of Samoa.
England has been fully informed of the
views of the American government on the
matter and is in full accord with the opinions
held in Washington. The two governments
arc agreed that the action OF the agents of
Germany in Samoa is opposed to the letter
and spirit IF the treaty, and also violates
diplomatic etiquette and endangcrs the
good relations so necessary to the presence
OF Americans and Europeans when dealing
with semi barbarous nations. Dispatches
have been sent to Berlin, couched in lam
guage conveying the foregoing sense of the
situation.
Tie latest news received by Lord Sails
bury from Apia i, of a menacing character
and the admiralty have therefore ordered
the strength OF the Pacific fleet to be in
creased Immediately by at least two power
full vessels.
Count Won Hatfield. the German am
bassador, had rlinterview with Lord Sails
bury yesterday afternoon after Mr.. Phelps
had consulted with Lord Salisbury.

A Wretched Woman.

The New York correspondent of the
Picayxae tells this sad tale of u once
beautiful Louisiana girl:
On February IL last, the dead body
Of an unknown woman was found in
one cOrne Of an old carpenter shop
in Brooklyn. The face Of the corpse
revealed traces of former beauty amid
nnmistakable ravages Of dissipation.
There was nothing whatever to es-
tablish identity. An autopsy showed
chat death had resulted from
alcoholism. and the remains after be-
lug viewed by many persons. wore
buried in the Potter's field. Yester-
day afternoon Richard w. L'Homme-
dieu of No. 765 Van Buren, Street,
Brooklyn, called at the coroner's Office
with. the information that this un-
known was his sister-in-law. After a
long search for her he had heard
about the finding and burial of the
body and had secured a permit for
disinterment. By certain marks and
by the clothing, which had been pre-
served, he identified it beyond per-
adventure.
The maiden name of this wreck was
Louisiana Harper. She belonged to
a ). good family in New Orleans and
and was beautiful, highly educated,
and much admired as a belle. Her
parents We're impoverished by the
xar and came North after hostilities
ceased. Here in New York she mar
ried printer named L'Hommedieu.
who lived in the Eastern district of
Brooklyn. How abe got started on a
downward career is not known, but
one by II she alienated her friends.
and at last her husband, unable to
live with her any longer, obtained a
separation. From that on she was
frequently arrested for drunkenness.
and she had not been long out of the
penitentiary when she crawled into
the old carpenters shop to die. -
