VANDERBILTS CONTROL 1T
Continued from First Pngea

shortly after / o'clock came the news OF tha
transfer to W. X. Vanderbilt. This was an
unexpected development. and prices took an
other turn upward, but they were already too
high TO stand much Of a rise. Lackawanna
touched 171h and closed at 1863, with a net
gain Of per cent New-Jersey Central went
to 1904 and then dropped to l19A. net gain Of
~ per cent. The total dealings in the two
stocks were less than 5000 shares each. AS a
matter Of fact. there is little Lackawanna
stock left In the market for dealers to handle
such unusual amounts having been locked un
by Messrs. Vanderbilt and Maxwell. Indeed,

The chief interest In the situation now lies in
the policy that Mr.. Vanderbilt and his allies
will pursue. 1t is not thought that there will
be any change made In the Board Of Man.
ayers until the annual meeting in February,
when, of course. the new interests will insist
upon the representation to which they are en-.
titled. Neither is it expected that Samuel
Sloan. who has managed the property with
conspicuous ability Tor years, will be disturbed
in the presidency when the new management
takes hold. The present Board Of Managers
is as follows: John J. Blair. George Bliss Percy

EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ROAD.
Much talk has been. and still is being INDUCED
in as to the possibilities of a stock dividend
being declared in the near future. Many ex-
pect to see one Of 100 per cent. 1t is pointed
out that this could very properly be made as a
return to the stockholders OF net earnings
that have been expended for the Improvement
of the property and not charged to capital
account. In the last ten years large amounts
have been spent, although the road has all
the time paid liberal dividends and carried
forward a comfortable surplus each year. In
1864 a stock dividend of so per cent was paid,
and in 1866 another of 10 per cent was declared.
The roads stock is $26,2o0.00O and its bonded
indebtedness s3,067,0OO. Thus its total liabilis
ties are only $29, 267,000, while the cost OF road.
equipment, mines. etc, Is set down In the last
annual report at 34S04.646, and the mines are
said to be entered at their cost price, without
any allowance being made for increased value

THE INDIANA GERRYMANDER.
FIGHTING THE REPLACEMENT OF LAW AL
READY DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL

FIGHTING THE RE.ENACTMENT OF A LAW Al
READY DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Indianapolis Ind, Oct. % (Special.-John s.
Gowdy chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee was in town Saturday in consultation
with the attorneys in the gerrymander suit whcn
is to be filed in the Circuit Court OF this county
the last of next week. 1t has been decided to make
every county officer a defendant, and to proceed
by means of an Injunction instead Of mandamus, as
in the former case. The elaboration OF the COM
plant is in the hands of Ferdinand Winter, OF the
law firm of which ex-Attorney- General Miller Is a
n'ember and OF State Senator Albert W.Wishard who
was one of the few Republicans who pulled through
lest year in spite Of the gerrymander These at
torneys had the case last year and managed 1t with
success, securing decision overthrowng the then
existing apportionment.
The action Of the Legislature in defying the de-
Cison of the Court and re-enacting the old appor-
tionment with aggravated features has done much
to strengthen public sentiment against this sort
Of political chcanery, and though the Supreme
Court has since changed it's political complexion 1t
Is generally believed that the litigation Will again
result in triumph for political equality at the
ballot box. There is now but one Republican Judge
On the bench whereas before the entire five judges
were Republicans The Circuit Judge before whom
the proceedings will be Instituted is also a Demo
crat but he IS considered minded man. WHAT
Supreme Court for final adjudication The Demo-
oiats were warned when repeating the apportion-
iefore the supreme Court, and Representatives
Wilson and Hord, of this county protested against
the action Of their party caucus, but without avail
The feeling Of the people of the State against the
act Is shown in the readiness with which so many
are contr butng TO the expense Of the litigation.
There /! no election of Senator depending upon
the complexion OF the next Legislature. and 1t Is
probable that the Democrats Will not make as
determined an effort in behalf OF a statute which
a large number Of the party secretly disapprove.
The attorneys for the Democratic side of the lit-
cation were Senator Turpin and Attorney General
smith. Their argument was based solely upon
the theory that the question Is wholly of Legis
i've Jurisdiction, and not case for the courts
II the gerrymander statute Is overthrown. the
Governor Will be compelled to call the Legislature
together again to devise another apportionment
upon constitutional lines.
