of certain railroads to extend the working
hours of their men. especially in seasons of
until made q penal offense.
Swltchmen, engineers, hremen and
brakemen have physical structure and
physical need about as other people. and
it has been established again and again
that the presence of danger or weighty
responsibility is insufficient for wakefnl-
ness when n is utterly fatigued and
sleepy.
Officials of railroads do not charge them
selves with fault when calamity comes
through the extorting Of more labor from
employees than their frames can endure. A
few thousand dollars to the injured, taken
not from their pockets but from the treas
ury of the stockholders, removes all legal
liability and bushes up discussion of q
most frightful holocaust.
Let the gyvos be placed upon them. let
the law cause them to suffer as their ven
orders entail pain upon others. and work
hours would be kept within reason, ever
though employees, tempted by extra pay,
sought extension of their time.

GOULD AM FISK.
Tn Great Erie Steal Engineered Years Ago
-MafIada nf Trra Man

Xho treas Erie Steal Engineered Years Ago
Methods OF Two Men.
Jay Gould's connection with James Fisk
and the Erie railroad began in 1861, when
Fisk, wishing to acquire a controlling In
terest In Erie, found that Gould was
ahead of him. The audacity of trying
upon the vast Erie railroad the same little
game that Gould had already playe cd upon
Q dozen unimportant roads appealed TO
Fisk's love of u~nbounded adventure. IL
was perilous, but II successful the reward
would be princely. The Erie railroad, if
worth anything, was worth &c., 600. OoO. and
Gould's scheme contemplated no less than
the acquisition Of the road. Gould saw
that in an enterprise of that kind
it would be well 20 have some one
to do the active work, SO to Fisk
was given the honor of pulling Gould's
chestnuts out of the fire. The capture of
the Erie railroad has long been q matter
OF history, and Is such painful reading
Ior many VINO lost money IN IL. that IT Is not
that at the time OF Fisk's death. in 1872, the
road was completely at the mercy of Gould.
Fiek's sudden death upset all the calculations;
the whole structure tumbled to the ground. and
in 1872, when Gould threw up the game. he adj
united TO having obtained 80. 600, 900 belonging
70 the Erie railroad. a large part OF which he
was forced To pay back. The fact shows the last
resources in the man. Fisk, in speaking Of him,
used 10 say that Gould was five feet high, but
that he had two feet of head. 1t would probably
be impossible to-day to do what Gould did with
the property OF tbs Erie stockholders without
landing In prison, and the fact that Gould never
went outside the law Is greatly in his favor. con-
sidering the queer times from the end OF the war
TO the downfall OF the Tweed ring, and the temp
tation to a man OF his power.
When Gould unfolded and carried out some
grand scheme. getting another fortune thereby,
outsiders said: "How lucky; he did ii in the nick
OF time" They were unaware that he had been
waiting for or preparing the time; that he had
performed the labor before he had divulged his
design. Even he did not get what he did not
earn, IN a Wallstreet way. Cherries fell not
into his hat until he had strongly shaken the
tree. But the public did not see him shake IL.
nor did he intend IL should. The hour and meth
Cd OF his shaking was his secret and his power;
they were the sources by which he won.
During Fisk's life IL was mmon
thought that he had more shrewdness
and force than Gould, for the reason
that he was mainly prominent In any and every
scheme that they were both Interested III. Fisk
loved TO be- conspicuous, TO he talked OF and
pointed out; he reveled In his notoriety; he would
have been unhappy If withdrawn from the pub
lie eye. Gould was the very opposite; he enjoyed
Quictude and retirement: he had no fondness for
OBSERVATIONS; he avoided IL under all circuln-
stances. 1t was not his fault that he was a con-
tIndal subject for newspaper paragraphs and for
caricatures in the illustrated Journals; and his
