WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20, 1892.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star.
Our attention is called to an article in your
paper Of this date as from your correspondent at
Upper Marlborough making certain statements
on ''the authority Of man formerly connected
with this company" and, as you have thus
given official publication to the statements. We
ask you to correct the correspondent. who has
been misled.
We are surprised that your correspondent
should have repeated such statements to you
for publication after having the assurance of
the Hon. &. q. Magruder, who is a director and
local attorney of this company, one Of the fore
most men Of Prince Georges county. that the
entire story wholly false, and it seems
strange that any one either at Marlborough OF
in this city. should lend their aid TO an effort TO
cast reflection upon and possibly destroy the
through an enterprise that will reflect benefit
upon every resident of this city and that por-
ton of the state of Maryland through which
our road is to run. Fortunately for this COM
pany its affairs have progressed. to that extent
that malicious statements, such as imposed
upon your correspondent, cannot impair its
position or be the means Of disruptine its
negotiations, as ia the obvious purpose of the
person named Cor rather not named, as is US
ually the case where such motives obtain).
As to the statement that any official of this
company has said the work Of the company
was failure or that the company was ''bursted
up entirely" it Is absolutely. maliciously and
ridiculously false. No organization was ever
in better position 10 insure complete success
1t has no obligations to any one. Its arrange
ments are in the post perfect and complete
order, and so pronounced by the best ATTORNEYS
and financiers of the country. The work of
securing the many complicated ARRANGEMENTS
that has been done, and without which no road
could be built. has been accomplished in a re-
markabiy short time, and the same il now COM
plete in all respects, and without complication
or embarrassment of any kind. and further
ethan that, the people connected with this COM
pany are not of the kind that fail
As to the statement that "a gentleman OF the
company sold his $50, 600 worth of stock for
Is cents on the dollar, it is absolutely and ma
liciously false; as an officer Of the company l
am in a position to know that no person con-
nected with the company has made any such
sale, nor could such a sale be made even il con-
templated; and am further empowered to say
that no stakeholder OF the company would part
with any portion OF his stock for any such
price. The stock OF the company is not in the
market and will not be until the road is finished
The company has offered neither stock nor
property for sale. Its members have full con-
hdence in its complete success.
Its importance TO the people Of Washington
and Marlborough is of the greatest. and no
MT of nnh -rra - .%
credullty OF The STARS correspondent will pre-
vail against il.
The work of this company has been conducted
with care land cautiop it does not intend to
follow in the footsteps of SO many companies
which have failed through haste and reckless
management. No ''castles in the air. have been
or are being built. Good, hard business sense
has characterized this work. Good money and
large amount OF it has been expended upon il,
and 1t is safe to say that the IMAM who was
formerly connected with the company has
never contributed anything toward this or auy
other worthy enterprise. and has. doubtless,
attempted to jure the company because it no
longer had Use for Ibis services" vet would en-
deavor to benefit by claiming his former reIa-
tons.
We trust The STAR will recognize the pur-
pose of the statement which it gave to the pub
lie and make this denial and statement of facts
as prominent as the false one and hope that You
will rather lend the power you possess to en-
couraging those who spend their time and
money in public enterprises than to the efforts
Of those who are ready 10 destroy that which
does not yield them direct tribute or is not
shared with them "a la anarchist
The strongest proof of the company's pur-
pose and its reliance on its ability to success
fully carry out that purpose should lie in the
fact that it has not come before the public So
Letting either money other aid. II has pro-
ceeded on the belief in the merit of its under
taking and rested confident in the recognition
by the public Of the benefits it would derive
and the encouragement Of ell worthy people.
Good words are always good investment, while
the contrary never fail to work harm to the
speaker.
This company is using its utmost endeavor
to accomplish that which shall work for the
comfort, pleasure and profit of every one; GER
tainly no one should attempt to obstruct or de-
stroy such effort. We certainly believe The
STAR will not. Our people are all well known to
The STAR. and shonld receive protection from
attacks Of irresponsible parties.
H. D. WATERLOO, President.
Henry Reryersa VIII.
