NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A statement re-
garding the collapse Of the negotiations for
the transfer OF the control OF the Seaboard
Air Line to Thomas f. Ryan Ct this city was
today issued by the pooling committee OF
stockholders of the property. 1t says an
agreement was reached with Messrs. Ryan
and Harvey for the sale of the property,
subject to the approval OF three-quarters of
the shares represented by the pool. With
very few exceptions every stockholder sign
ing the pool voted, and instead of three
fourths voting in favor of the sale to Mr..
Ryan less than one-half were recorded in the
affirmative. Mr.. Ryan was at once notified
OF the result OF the ballot and that the
stockholders declined to sell at the price
named. His $50 000 the amount deposited,
was returned to him. THE proposition OF
Mr.. Ryan was submitted to every stock
holder fairly" says the statement. "and the
pool did not influence or control their votes.
Whether Mr.. Ryan represented the Southern
Railway company in the proposed purchase
is matter with which the company had no
concern, and they are not responsible for
what seems to be the opinion that the real
object of the purchase was to remove com
petition and thereby imperil the vast bust
ness interests Of the south"

BALTIMORE, Nov. 21.-President and Co.
Receiver j. K Cowan of the Baltimore d
Ohio railway said today that the report OF
Expert Examiner Little is now in the hands
of the printer and that copies of it will be
distributed among the stockholders within
week. 1t is learned from other sources that
the report was read at the recent meeting Of
the stockholders.
gentleman who was present at this
meeting has said there is nothing of a sensa-
tional character in the report and that no
charge save possibly that OF mismanage-
ment is made against the Mayer admins
tration. The methods Of keeping the
books, however, is criticized, and the report
Is said to show that for more than five years
past unearned dividends have been paid
with money borrowed for the purpose and
upon collateral belonging to the company;
that the books have been kept In such man
ner. as to indicate more favorable financial
condition than actually existed and that
other irregularities of a minor nature were
discovered.
The most important feature of the re-
port. however is said to be that 1t reveals
the fact that even under the conditions that
actually existed the system was fully able
to pay its interest sand. other fixed charges
out of its earnings and that II the dividends
had not been paid as stated the road would
have been self-supporting and the necessity
OF a receivership would have been avoided
AS soon as the report is made public
meeting of the Baltimore reorganization
committee will be held. at which it will be
determined whether further examination of
the books will be made under the auspices
of the committee.

AFTER THE GAMBLERS OF THE CRY
Grand Jury Finds Much Evidence on
TINT gubIcct.


thnt subject.
The grand jury returned final report
yesterday and brought in a number of in
dictments, only few OF which were made
public bench warrants being issued on the
others A report was also filed on the con-
dition of the two jails, which were found
to be in good condition.
j. +. Wright wasrhdtcted on two charges,
one of maintaining nuisance and the
other OF maintaininsia gambling house. The
indictment is considered of much signih-
cance, as for some time the general impress
sion has existed among the authorities that
there was no gambling going on. IL seems
however, from the evidence brought before
the grand jury that there is at least one
full-hedged gaming place in the city at 55o
Broadway, which is the resort that wright
is charged with having maintained. Several
police officers testified before the grand jury
that they had seen gambling going on. Jim
Snodderly testified that he had lost about
$500 in the place shortly before election
trying to kill of the high card at the laro
bank. This statement was supplemented
by one by r. N. Whittlesey, who said he
had been authorized by Snodderly to re-
cover about $500 that had been lost at
Wright's place. Whittlesey testified he had
succeeded in getting back 1888 in cash and
a note for s25. Carpenter Rose testified that
he had made a crap table for Wright and
nad taken III 10 03o BrOauWdy' wright saw
bonds at once for his appearance.
An Indictment was returned against ROD
ert Halliday charging him with burning and
maliciously destroying fruit trees ana
bushes. October Halliday, with num-
ber of other boys, went into E. b. Crandail s
orchard and set fire to some brush that
destroyed several trees.
The boys claimed it was done by accident
and at a trial of the case in the justice
court Halliday was acquitted. This did not
end the matter, however, as Crandall, who
the boy in the justice court,
happened to be member of the present
grand jury. He appeared before himself
and testified that he had seen the boys COM
ing into his wife's orchard and had con-
ceaed himself and watched. Then he testi-
fed he saw Halliday set fire to the under
brush that destroyed his wife's apple trees.
