VANDERBILT's STRONG BOX.
A Corner in Safe Deposit Vault
Richer Than Most Gold Mines.

New York Letter to Augusta Chronicle.
Besides these hoardings, these vaults
contain the accumulated wealth of
personal nature of all the millionaires
of New York city. They no longer
leave their stocks and bonds in their Of
flee or house safes, but take them to the
vaults. In many of the vaults are kept
the family jewels and the expensive
plate of gold and silver-this last being
taken to the homes whenever an enter
tainment is to be given, and returned at
once to it's place of safety in the vaults.
Hundreds of millions of dollars are kept
in these places of security, and some
most interesting tales might be told
of the customs of men OF wealth
in visiting the vaults and counting
their wealth. Probably the most inter
esting place is the vaults of the deposit
company, which contain the enormous
wealth of the Vanderbilts, in stocks
and bonds, and much of that of Jay
Gould, Russell Sage. the Astors, eX-
Mayor Grace and many other men
known as New York's millionaires.
These vaults are opposite the headquar
tiers of the New York Central railroad.
on FOrty-second street, and were built
under the eye of William II. Wander
bilt.
When William Fl. Vanderbilts sons
Cornelius, William K. and Frederick
desire to add to or take from their enor-
nous deposits of stocks they are adj
mitted into the priSOn-like cOmpart-
ment. When inside the door is shut
and locked, and they are Virtual prison
erS. They cannot get out until an at
tendant opens the door, but no burglar,
thief Or assassin can get in.
William Ii. Vanderbilt was not so Sc
cretive in examining his wealth as are
his sons. He used to open one of the
doors, draw out great pile of bonds,
spread them on the table before him
and in full view of the attendants, and
make his computations, half mutterlng
to himself as he did so, or else cut off
his coupons by a nervous snap
he kept in' his desk. The
large compartment within now
contains much of the wealth of COrne-
Illus Vanderbilt, and the one adjoining it
many of the millions of William K. A
smaller compartment nearer the floor
contains the fortune of the student,
George Vanderbilt, and he, of late, has
been one of the frequent visitors, as he
has been drawing on his fortune to
build his luxurious place in the mount
aims of North Carolina. About once in
SO often the Vanderbilt boys, averaging
six times year, visit the vaults to de-
post new bonds and stocks. represent
ing accessions to their wealth.
In this corner alone there is property
representing not far from $500. 900, 600.
1t was in this golden cell that Villa m
III. Vanderbilt wrote his famous check
for $4,000, 100 the largest individual
| check ever given up to that time. After
! he had written it he said to a financier
who was with him, representing the
| original West Shore interests, 81 could
duplicate that check at this moment, if
nee essary," showing that at that time
he had $12, 100000 at least in cold cash.

He Holly REGENTS Certain Charges

BERLIN, Feb. Elm the reichstag
to-day, Chancellor Won Caprivi warmly
repudiated the charges brought against
the government by the Liberals, who de-
clare that the government had neglect
ed to protect German interests
abroad, especially against England. Re-
ferring to the With affair, the ehancel-
lor said that KuenZel was an embeZZler
and deserved his fate, but that the kill
ing of his comrades was regretted. Con-
tinuing the discussion of German
colonization in Africa. Herr Windthorst
spoke in support of the agreement
arrived at between Germany and
England. saying that it strengthened
the relations between the two countries.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, referring TO the
Congo act, stated that the government
wished the act to be enforced in every
particular. Herr Helldortf held it
was the duty of the house to
grant the funds necessary to con-
tlnue the foreign and colonial policy
of the government. Herr keudell Qm-
peIialisN commended the English agree
ment on the ground that it put an end
to the idea that no friendship was pos
sible between Germany and England as
coloniZing powers. 1t also ended the
etferveScence of the popular feeling
reused by private persons, notably by
Henry NJ. Stanley. After some further
discussion the credit asked for by the
government to carry out this foreign
and colonial policy was granted.

gineer Potter also to the side of the cab
in an instant, and even as the two men
stared at the wretch, tossing on the
cow catcher, the latter made desperate
effort to climb higher upon the pilot to
the hot engine front. In doing so he
grasped live steam pipe. The pipe
was blistering hot, but the tramp dared
not let go, for he would have fallen to
the road bed or been ground to pieces
under the great driving wheels. Still
he uttered no cry. though the look of
agony in his face told what he suffered.
The train was still laundering on at
fifty miles an hour. and the engineer
dare not apply the brakes, for he knew
that the sudden jar and jolt that would
result from that act would fling the
Writch under the wheels. There w as
only one way in which the man could
be saved, and Engineer Potter saw 1t at
once. So he went out on the locomotive.
the fireman following him, craWled
along its side and yelled to the man to
hold up his hand. The engineer then
fairly pulled the tramp, with the aid of
the fireman, into the cab. The man fell
on the floor of the cab completely eX-
hausted. He received kind treatment
during the rest of his ride to Boston, in
which city he was provided with food
and lodging and medical attention.

appears no sense of pathos. yet (as the
little letter press in the upper corner
tells u.s. the girls story was pathetic
enough.
Her husband had been weakly from
his birth. but it was not until after the
betrothal that her mother discovered
that he was suffering from some con-
tagiouS disease, apparently Ieprosy.
This would have been valid excuse
for breaking Off the engagement; or, at
any rate. the mother wished to break it
off on this account. but the girl refused,
and the marriage took place. A year
later the disease had made such strides
that the mans brothers fOrcibly con-
fined him in a lazaretto. His wife
begged to accompany him, and, when
refused, beat her head against the door
till in pity they let her in.
She never left her husbands side I'M

Willimantic Special.
A poor, half-starved tramp stole
ride on the cow-catcher of a New York
& New England railroad locomotive at
this place Christmas night, and he is
not likely to soon forget his trip. AS
Engineer Potter, of the limited express,
drove his long train into this place from
the west on that evening, and halted
his painting engine at the station for
few minutes, preparatory to beginning
the long run to Boston, slight man.
shabbily clad in short, thin coat. light
trousers, shoes and felt hat, came
timidly across the network of iron rails
to the cab and asked if he might ride on
the engine to Boston.
NO." said the engineer, "the rules
of the road expressly forbid it," Then
the tramp wanted to get aboard the bag

liberty to permit him to do so. He
shivered and went away. Then the
locomotive bell changed, the passengers

pot restaurant for supper hurriedly got
aboard, and the train moved on, quick

night, with the mercury almost at zero,
and the moon was very bright. The
engineer let his steel horse go at the
rate of more than fifty miles an hour,
and, though all the cab windows were
tightly shut, so cold was the air that
rushed into the engine that even the
engineer and fireman felt chilly.
AS Putnam was passed, the fireman
fancied he heard an unusual sound
above the roaring of flying wheels, and
he hastily drew aside one sash in a cab
window. He glanced along the curved
side of the great boiler and instantly ut

He was shaking like a leaf with the
trembling of the locomotive, his clothes
auttering in the hurricane-like rush OF
the enigma, and it was evident to the
fireman. at his first glance, that the
poor fellow could retain his grip on the
engine only few moments longer.

HAVANA, Feb. 6.-The police OF this
city recently received information that
several bandits had taken passage on
the Spanish steamer Baldomero lglesias
at this port with. the intention of max
ing their escape oD her to Aspinwall.
The officers went where the steamer
was lying. The bandits opened fire on
the officers. The latter returned the
fire. and a fierce battle ensued. The
bullets flew thick and fast, and the pas
sengers on the steamer were thrown
into a great panic and the widest ex-
element prevailed on the vessel while
the fighting was in progress. The
police gained possession of the steamer.
1t was then found that three of the
bandits, including the famous Monte
longo, were dead. MontelOngo. seeing
that further resistance was useless, had
Jumped into the sea and attempted to
make his escape by swimming to the
shore. The officers, however, fired on
him in the water and the noted outlaw
was MORALLY wounded and soon sank.
Another of the bandits was captured.
The loss of the policemen was light,
only two of them being injured.

A GREAT CHANGE.
From Desiring Government As
sistance in Finance People Fear

From Desiring Government AS
sistance in Finance People Fear
1t.
New York Times.
During the past three months a
change has taken place in public senti-
ment, especially in business circles, that
is essentially the most striking feature
of our financial history during the last
quarter of a century, and yet it has
been only cursorily remarked upon.
The change has been more definite and
more easily traced in the great money
? centers of the Atlantic coast, especially
in New York; but it has by no means
been confined to these; there are evil
dences of its occurrence all over the
country, and in regions where it Was
least to De looked for.
Briefly, the change is this, that bust
ness men, from having desired govern
ment Intervention in their affairs, have
come to fear it; from seeking ''relief''
from the treasury, from the minis, from
congress. they are now holding large
proportion of their plans and enter
priSeS in suspense, lest congress may by
It's action upset all their calculations.
Only last September the country rang
with appeals to the secretary of the
treasury for help in averting the strin-
gency in the money market, the first
symptoms of which were showing
themselves. The secretary strained
every resource to respond to these APP
pealS. and before the meeting of con-
gress 100000, 900 had been poured from
the government vaults into the money
market. Apparently it was absorbed
like summer shower OH sandy soil, and
absolutely no effects were TO be seen
from it-certainly none of the effects
that were expected.
