The Fastest on Record.

NEW YORK. Sept 2S.-At 1850 o'clock
this morning the private coach Grassmore,
containing John w. Mackay, the California
millionaire, and Miss Fair, daughter of
Senator James Fair and sister of Mrs
Herman Oelrichs, rolled into the Grand
Central depot, attached to the fast mail
over the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad. 1t made the fastest time on
record from San Francisco to this city.
Mr.. Oelrichs was at the depot awaiting the
train, which was reported twenty minutes
late at Poughkeepsie. Five minutes of
this time was made up before reching this
city, making the actual time of the trip.
after counting the difference of time be-
tween the two cities, four days, twelve
hours and twenty-eight minutes. This
beats the record of Herman Oelrichs,
made in August last He made the trip in
four days, sixteen hours and ten minutes.
1t is rumored that MIR. Mackay's trip to-
this city is for the purpose of looking after
the interests of the Pacific roads in cOnnec-
ton with the Searles will contest, and the
visit to Salem will probably be taken.

general mortgage per cent gold bonds, the
indenture OF the company dated October

reorganization OF the company, and for
which provision was made for their res

New York as trustee of the general mort
gage per cent gold bonds, and of an ade-
quate amount of surplus gold bonds, S, 000,

GOULD'S TACTICS.
A Well-Posted Wall Street Man Talk

A Well-Posted Wall Street Man Talks
About EN- to a Gazette Man.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S-In view of the
vehement unanimity with which Gould's
motives in Missouri Pacific and Union Pa
cific affairs have been received, it is highly
probable now and very positive that news
throwing an entirely different light ON the
whole matter would meet with reluctant
and skeptical reception. Nevertheless, a
view OF this sort was encountered by q rep
resentative of The GAZETTE, and the gentle
man who expressed it is prominent figure
in Wall street circles, and has made some
whatoOf a study of the great tinancier's
methods. 1t may fairly be said to carry I'M
usual weight. The person referred to said:
That Gould's recommendation of the sus-
pension of the current Missouri Pacific
dividend had anything to do with the at
tempt to help out the sshort' interest in the
stock market, held either by himself, his
eldest son or Sage, 1 look upon as
utterly absurd. It was devised, in
my opinion, as the first step
in the great railway deal in
which l think Gould is joined by Hunting
ton. Gould and Huntington control a ma
jority part Of what is known as the South
view last Saturday Gould said: We pro-
pose connecting link that will enable US to
deliver wheat and other grains at New Or
leans for export over the Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain at the same price that
the other roads can lay it down at Chicago.
We will also have connection over the out
let at Memphis
This statement is what 1 base my opin-
ION on that Gould and Huntington have
great railway deal in view" continued the
Wall street man. 1.-The competitors for the
grain trafic Of the Southwestern system,
which includes the Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and the Texas and
Pacific and branch lines, are the Atchison,
Rock Island, Chicago and Alton, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy, Northwestern and
St Paul and branch lines. If by being able
to make the connection referred to in the
above paragraph by Gould, the Missouri
Pacific and Central Pacific systems will be
enabled to lay down grain at New Orleans
for the same price that the grain roads do
in Chicago, it stands to treason that the
grain traffic of pretty much the entire
Southwest will be diverted to the South
western system, - tide-water is reached

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Over $4,000
subscriptions were received by Drexel,
Morgan & Co. to the new Union Pacific
notes offered them ON Saturday. This
made the total subscription 81, 2O0.00 or
500, 600 more than was required. The sub
scription books were closed and the credi-
tors committee formed meeting and de-
lieve the Union Pacific of its floating debt

for in cases extended voluntarily for three
years, and the company is placed in an
easy financial position.

at New Orleans, whereas it is 1000 miles

at New Orleans, whereas it is 1000 miles
from Chicago.
Ocean freights, too. are proverbially
lower from New Orleans than from New
York. Huntington can add to the great
grain-carrying trade of the Southwest. The
transcontinental trafic from California
over the Southern Pacific connection at
Memphis referred to by Gould would bring
the Southwestern system in close relation
with the Richmond Terminal, which owes
Sc, 0O0, 600 floating debt, and if Gould saw fit
to 60 to its assistance the Southwestern
system might extend its control to this COM
pany, thus including all railroads in the
southern belt of country except the Louis
vile and Nashville. Gould, m planning
railroad deal, usually starts by reducing
everything to cheap basis, so that new
this, in my opinion added the Wall street
man, lis an explanation of his policy in the
Missouri Pacific"

The Railroad Mems Saving and Loan Com
pany.

The organization of the Railroad Mems
saving and loan company, notice of which
appeared in TIE GAZETTE some days ago,
is meeting with general favor among rail-
road men. The company is formed on the
building and loan association plan and has
for its object the loaning of funds to its
members, and at the same time affords its
stockholders an opportunity of saving a
a portion of their wages each month, and at
the same time have it earn handsome IL
tereSt.
The plan of its formation has met with
such favor that subscriptions to its stock
will not be confined to Fort Worth but will
be received from railroad men in any por-
tion of the state.
This company has at its head some of the
best-known railroad and business men in
Fort Worth and we bespeak for it a bril-
limit career

to Canada or ''the States," for those who
remain, unless they are so fortunate as to
somehow get their share of the tourists
money, are in a state of the most utter
restitution. The descendants of those old
Highland lords, who were 80 init
mately bound to the clansmen by
ties Of mutual respect and hepfulness,
have turned into English country gentle
men, or their lands have been taken from
them by the Saxons. Nobody cares for the
crofters-sheep pay better than, anything
else upon such rough land; deer forests are
valuable as property, besides furnishing
sport; and so the poor tenant, when he does
stay, breaks the law of supply and demand.
He is not wanted. He pays, if he can, high
rent for howell fl for pigs; if he cannot
point OF the landlord, for then he can be
evicted, his hut pulled down and his potato
patch turned into a sheep-fod.
Perhaps all this does not impress an En-
glishman quite as strongly as a Yankee,
Americans can hardly be expected to realize
what tits like to live in country where one
in every thirty-ive of the inhabitants is a
pauper. This must be why William Black,
the novelist, who has in sense rediscovered
the Highlands. and whose novels are
scarcely more than guide-book with a thin
thread of romance running through them
has so much to say of the beauty of the
scenery, so little of the ruined homes and
squalid novels which serve as apologies for
homes. Blacks novels have unquestionably
been worth good deal TO the Highlanders
by turning thither such food of tourists.

ness which one must expect along with the
beauty Of the landscapes in the Highlands,
The loneliness there is all very well as q
