JAY GOULD AND BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

BANKERS.


Baltimore Jan. % speclaD.-Referring TO recent
statement in The London statist' that Jay Gould
has been trying 20 secure control of the Baltimore

were indicative Of preparations being made 10 let
Mr.. Gould have his way, Messrs Hambleton Co., the
Baltimore BANNERS and railroad authorities, viii have
this TO say in their weekly circular tomorrow:
"The policy OF the Garrett party, which has COM
plete control OF the Baltimore and Ohio Company, will
naturally be primarily to make good the ooooo shares
Of stock held by the Garrett family. The first avowed
step this direction is TO complete the Staten Island
connection, and as the Baltimore and Ohio Company
has gone so far as build the Philadelphia extension
and assume large liabilities Staten Island it is OF
vital importance that the connecting link be perfected
This no doubt, sooner later will be done and hav
ing been accomplished tho Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany will be IN better condition TO earn dividends

family, owing 10 the fact that the State OF
Maryland and City Of Baltimore have no vote in
the election Of directors absolutely controls the man.
agement OF the company II could be sold, II desired
and with it would go the control Of the road. If Mr.
Jay Gould should ever become possessed Of the Balt
more aud Ohio road he did of the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph lines would not give great deal

Baltimore City and 1900 by the Johns Hopkins
