Big RIVER COMBlNH
Organized to Control the Exist
ing Freight and Passenger
Lines on the Hudson.
Special to the Jersey Citv Ne,rs.

York and Hudson River Navigation Com
any filed it's articles of Incorporation
t the office of the Secretary of State
esterday. The company has been form
d for the purpose Of operating steam
oats, tugs and floats on the Hudson
liver and New York Bay, and for the
wing of docks. and warehouses. 1t
Ill have it's main Office in New YORK,
III a branch in Jersey City. The cap
al stock is $500, 0O0, of $500 a share. OF
MS amount. $1,000 has been paid in, the
following gentlemen each holding one
share:-Chauncey NJ. Depew, A. Barton

Wells, George S. Bixby and Walter WEBB,
New York; Horace c. Young, Albany;
William J. Arkell, -Canajoharie; Erwin
D. York, Flushing, and Edwin A. Mac
Clean, Summit, this State.
PLANS OF THE COMPANY.
The incorporation IS the elimination
Of protracted negotiations, involving
great financial interests.
Ever since last fall an effort has been
made by prominent capitalists, largely
identified with Vanderbilt interests, to
secure control of the enormous and profit
able passenger and freight traffic of the
Hudson River between New York and
tide water at Albany and Troy. The
competition existing for years between
the Hudson River steamboats, and the
New York Central and West Shore Rail-
roads has at times resulted in ruinous
cutting of passenger rates the year
round. The new company will put an
end to this competition, as 1t expects
eventually to control all the general
freight and passenger business along
the Hudson.
CONTRACTS SIGNED.
The capitalists interested in the project
announced that they have just signed
contracts by which they come into con-
troll of the Peoples Line of steamers, one
of the Oldest on the Hudson River, which
now enjoys a monopoly OF the river
New York and Albany, and which is.
therefore, the main link in the chain.
The -reorganizers intend to put two new
boats on the river. within asSyear, and to
sary to organize the new Company, the
papers Of which were hled yesterday.
This corporation has also contracted for
the construction Of g new passenger boat,
pany n the Peoples Lne will be alb
sorbed by a new third company, whose
purpose also is TO absorb the other prin-
