larized in New England, and seven unsuc-

their property damaged, for the United

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TROUBLES.
Withdrawals DispIease
e. Il. HUNTINGTON

The San Francisco Chronicle revlves the
story that George Croker is the cause of
the trouble in the Southern Pacific railway
circles, and that he was positively denied
the privilege of withdrawing his share of
the great Croker estate from the Southern
Pacific pool.
The Chronicle says young Croker made
a formal demand upon the Crocker heirs,
whose interests are managed by the
Crocker company. to withdraw every cent
of his money and his share of his father $
estate from the railroad. He desires to
have nothing to do with the transportation
companies.
The Chronicle states that c. P. Hunting
TOM practical usurpation of all power In
the PaclhC Improvement Company has
agitated Mis-. Stanford as well as George
Crocker, and that both are determined to
Withdraw. The demands for accounting, it
Is said. Will be resisted by Huntington, who
Is said to have threatened il they withdraw
from the Pacific Improvement Company
That they must dispose of their shares in
the open market
No decisive action Is looked for until
Crocker, who was recently married in New
YORK, returns from his wedding trip abroad.
