ran the old Fourth avenue horse car
 line into the ground. MT. Skitt held
 out against all improvements and the
 Nanderbilts began to lose money on
 this line from the time that cable and
 electricity began to show what they
 could do on parallel lines. Finally the
 Metropolitan interests canno in and
 leased the old horse car line They
 would have nothing to do with the old
 superintendent and the Vanderbilts put
 him to work in a department of the Central system. According to the the ory of the Wall street authorities, how ever, the man who was superintendent of an old horse car liuc is just the man
 to work the revolution nee.:ed on tho
 elevated road.
 Another change which received a great deal of attention is that ill Scra- tor Brice's plans for reaching the sea board. He holds control Of many miles of profitable property in the middle states. He was trying to push his way cast through Pennsylvania and north of the Pennsylvania railroad line. Now he is talking over the plan of an alli- ance with Baltimore and Ohio interests. President Hill is said to have mapped out practicable scheme for him to follow. and is also said to have ad- vised the purchase of the Chicago and Alton system. MT. Hill wants the AL ton system for the Baltimore and Ohio but the latter cannot afford to buy it under present conditions. If Senator Brice will secure control of it, Presi- dent Hill has suggested that the Balti- more and Ohio men with whom he is now associated can afford to make easy connections with the whole of the Brice system. At several points the Baltimore and Ohio is competitor with the Brice system, but President Hill has propos- ed readjustment of all differences. The natural development of all such plans would be the establishment of one more through trunk line to the west. The one great fact against it is that of Senator Brice's ambition, which has been not to be swallowed up in a syndicate, but to build up a new trunk line O. which every mile would he un-- der his own absolute control HA has said to his friends that he wQnld never stop until he had secured ity but he can never get control of Baltimore and OiO

BIG RAILROAD INTERESTS
News WhiCt Tells Story Of
 Prosperity and Advancement.

New York. Dec. 2.-(SpeciaI )-The Vanderbilts were said yesterday to have secured control Of a very large block Of the stock O. the Manhattan FL evated railway. If the statement was true, it would have sent the securities of the company up to very nigh prices. but there were few or none who were ready to believe it. If the Vanderbilts want the elevated roads they will have to carry stock on which the dividend rate is steadily falling. In order to re- coup themselves, they would have to spend not less than five millions Of dol lars in changes to bring the elevated up to the standard now set by the surface roads. This was why it was difficult for those who know the interests at stake to believe that the Vanderbilts were ready to shoulder the property. Yet the following statement was pub llshed by Wall street authority.
 We are told by people in a position to know the facts and who have hereto fore given Us accurate information that the election of Mir Alfred SEits as vice president of the Manhattan Ele- Tated means great deal more than the engagement of an active and cxper- fenced man 70 handle this heretofore mlsmanaged property. We understand that Mir. Skitt today began his duties and is in full control of the property, electrical equipment project and all. Mir. George Gould relinquished these duties willingly. MT. Skitt is the di- rect representative of Vanderbilt in terests in Manhattan. The Manhattan Elevated equipped with electricity and handled in connection With New York Central would be a very different prop erty from the Manhattan of today. The Vanderbilts have right of way under the Fourth avenue New York Central tracks. Closer connection with New York Central at the Grand Central de- pot would be Of advantage to both properties. There might come a sime when Manhattan would be part of the New York Central system The in- formation cannot be ignored that Van derbilt interests in Manhattan are large and were welcomed by MT. Gould"
 MT. Russell Sage was at his office to- day and it was said that he had become alarmed over the matter and was work ing to keep the Vanderbilt interests out O. Manhattan. Nobody knows how the situation stands, however. and MT. Sage himself said that he would give no in formation, and that the election of Mr. Sl1itt did not mean anything at all There are men who say that he is wrong, but those who know the new vice president personally also know that he is not the man to carry out new improvements. The same men who talk of the Vanderbilts using him to effect improvements in Manhattan say nothing of the fact that the Gew vice president ie the .an.c man who

A MYSTERY OF THE FASSAIC.
Body of a Man With a Sack Over His
 Head Seen Afloat in the River.

Paterson, N. J., Dec. Paul Duny and James Burns while on the Colum- bia Heights bridge this afternoon saw a body floating down the Passaic river in midstream.
 The dead man was minus a coat and waistcoat, but had oil white shirt and dark trousers. Around his head bag was securely fastened, and this is thought to be ample evidence that he had met with foul play.
 Duffy and Burns were unable to se- cure the body, and it's finding has not yet been reported. The police have been asked to search for Asa Zabriskie. a brother of Judge David Zabriskie of Ridgewood.
 He is an umbrella manufacturer in New York. He was last seen in Pater- son. His affairs were in a pro sperous condition, and it is feared he has met with foul play.

Some Pertinent Questions That Can All
be Answered With one Reply.

Why Is it that in Burlington and its SUI
bui'bs with a combined population of over
5000 there is only one medicinal pre-
paration which gives statements from res
dents to back UP It's representations?
why Is it that Doan's Kidney Pills do
this in every other city and town of any
Importance in the Union?
Why Is it that there are advertised In
every newspaper a dozen remedies ana
only one can supply local proof, local en-
doreation of its claims?
The solution OF the problem is simple
Only one remedy has the curing and the
staying power.
other remedies make all kinds of gigan-
tic, yet futile efforts to get local proof
but the attempt ends in producing a stat
mont or two from places, that as far as
Burlington is concerned, might as well
be in the moon.
Here is Burlington proof which backs
up the merits of Dodn's Kidney pills.
