The Man Who Bet He Could Beat the
 Conductor Is Now President of a Road.
 Six or eight of us were sitting around the stove in the old Mansion house in Buffalo one night decade of years ago, and the talk finally turned upon railroads and how con- ductors had been beaten by deadheads One man told story, to be followed by another, and New Yorker finally observed:
 Yes, but this was in the past, before there was any real system or much sharpness. No one can beat conductor in these daysn
 That's very true" added & second "You have got to either come down or get off,"
 There was quarter Of an hour of such talk, and then man who had moved into the circle and remained silent finally said:
 Well, dunno. l am sharp enough to ride from here to Batavia without paying fare"
 Got pass, maybes"
 "No, haven't"
 Do yor mean to say that you can ride without ticket or moneyi"

 Well, If 1t can be done I'd like to see it. There are three of us going down, and I'll put up S25 that you can't ride for nothing"
 You won't put the conductor on to mer' 'No.r
 Well, I'm going that way myself. and l believe I'll cover that bet The understand ing is that l show neither pass, ticket nor cash, nor secure the conductor That's the size of it. Put your money in the hands of this gentleman, Judge Davis, who lives at Batavia" The money was put up and next morning we all went down to the train together. The man who was to beat the road told us to gc | iI.to the smoker and he would present., | join us

President John H. Inman of the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal Company
is quoted by the Wall Street DoiIu Net1s
as saying that he could not account for the
especial weakness in Richmond Terminal
STOCK, particularly, as there was nothing in
the condition of the company's affairs to
warrant the vulnerability which this spe-
cialty has of late displayed. The earnings
are considerably in excess of what they
were year ago. and there was no reason
to expect that there would be any change
in the administration of the company's
affairs; consequently the decline TO twenty
in Richmond Terminal common was an
enigma to the directors. The News is in
formed that Drexel, Morgan & Co. have
consented TO act as the bankers and finan-
clal agents of the company, and that Gen.
Samuel Thomas will enter the Richmond
and Danville board of directors
