An Enormous Sum Spent In Rebuilding
and Re-equIpping the Ii. a. O. X. n.

and Re-equlpping the Ii. a. O. X. n.
The receivership of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has Just come
to close, was remarkable in many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in first-class
shape, instead of attempting to main
tain it in the condition that they found
It, OF course the receivers were up
held by majority of the security hold,
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio recevership marked an epoch
in such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
in 90 and 97, when trade was at low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,751 wooden gondola
cars, 5000 pressed steel cars, $40 mis-
cellaneous freight cars, postal, express
and dining car equipment, at a total
cost OF SIT 100000. The 216 locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
l23,OlO tons, costing $2,142,1 52, and
there were bought over 100000 cross
ties, costing $l,200,000, and $50 900
cubic yards Of ballast amounting to
pONO,VOOs ne new steel DIluSeS aRSre-
gate in value S750,O00, and FULLY as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals, erecting new build
ings, reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance of way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks, etc., in three
years was nearly twelve millions OF
dollars. The total amounts to about
$35, 100000, of which about SIS, 900 900
were secured by the issuance of receiy-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization
managers. Most of the purchases Of
equipment and rail were made when
material was low in price and manu-
featuring concerns were in great need
OF orders to keep their plants in op-
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
Sc to 50 a ton more than when the re-.
ceivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from 81, 900
to $4,000 in price. The equipment
alone, if purchased today, would cost
50 600, 900 more and the other improve
ments 81 100000 more. President Cow
en- is authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
$10,000,000 more in Improvements in
! the next year or two.

declared to be an affair of serious pro-

opportunity to press it forward so that
before the summer ends he may be-

upon the political horizon.
Van Wyck is opposed to the 16-to-l

south gets more money, and, what il
more important than this to New
Workers. it is strongly intimated that
he will ignore Tammany Hall If NOM

Iron Trade IL Healthy.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Leading officers of
the iron and steel companies of this
city deny the reports emanating from
Wall street prophesying a crash in
iron and steel stocks and a consequent
stagnation OF the market because OF
the unprecedented supply and demand
in that department of industry. The
American Wire and Steel company, the
National Steel company, the Federal
Steel company and the American Tin
Plate company, which practically con-
troll the steel and iron market OF this
country, and have established head
quarters in this city, not only claim
that there is no ground for anxiety, but
report that the market is so strong
that orders are received at present on
ly on the condition that they are to be
made deliverable six months hence.

CAPT. DREYFUS.
At the time Of his conyictIon.

will probably take place on Saturday.
Capt. Dreyfus entered the courtroom
with firm step, though his features
were pallid. He is partly bald, and
what hair he has is gray and close
clipped. He answered the formal ques-
tions Of the judge as to his name, etc,
in a clear, determined voice. He sat
facing the judges, with his hands rest
ing on his knees, an impassive figure.
The trial opened. so far as Rennes is
concerned, in an atmosphere of perfect
tranquility. The population is ap2ar-
emily Indifferent. Only a small crowd,
at the most fifty persons, had gathered
outside the entrance to the Lycee by 6
o'clock. A majority of these were
journalists.
Dreyfus replied to the question,
Guilty or not guilty?" with a vehem-
ent declaration of his innocence, re-
peating several times, Il am limo
cent?" in voice quivering with emo
ton. The agonized manner in which
he uttered his protestations of inno-
cence had a most painful effect, and
must have evoked the sympathy even
of his most inveterate enemies.
The prisoner grew more composed
as the examination proceeded, answer
ing every question without a moments
hesitation. The acoustics OF the
courtroom were abominable, only those
within a few feet of the judges being
able to follow the examination closely.
Even NJ. Labori, who was seated be-
hind Dreyfus, within three yards OF
him, held bis hand to his ear in order
to catch the questions and answers.
Col. Jouaust submitted Dreyfus to a
rigorous examination. more in the
style of a prosecuting counsel than a
Judge, and made gestures OF Impotence
at some direct denials which Dreyfus
gave repeatedly to the judges ques-
lions. The prisoners voice resounded
frequently through the courtroom, as
he energetically replied:
"No, my colonel" or Never, never"
to questions put to him.
