A RAILROAD SENSATION.
Dramatic scene at Meeting of Grand

Dramatic scenc at Meeting of Grand
G'runiS Railroad shareholders.
IpnG5n oct. Y.-The most dramatic
'conc which has ever marked a financial
ncetiag in London occurred when the
shareholders Of the Grand Trunk rail-
road ol Canada assembled to hear the
half yearly report Of the directors. The
meeting progressed smoothly while the
president of the Grand Trunk railroad,
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson Qounerly
comptroller general of the national debt
otlicc), detailed the improvements made
IN the line. congratulated the sharehold
ars on the increase in revenue, dilated on
the rise in the cost of material and in the
rates of wages and explained the resolu-
tion of the day, which provided for the
reorganization of the Chicago Grand
Trunk by the Canadian company.
After outlining the proposition Sir
Charles said he had received a letter
from Sir Henry w. Tyler, the former
president of the road, expressing disap-
proval of the reorganization and asking
that the letter be read before the meet
ing. White with passion, Sir Charles de-
clared that the vile language employed
by Sir Henry justified him in putting it
in the fire. The president of the road
continued his denunciation of the former
president until the audience rose, crying:
'Put it in the fire. Burn it, "Shame"
There was Il scene of great disorder,
and then there arose a cry, "Tylcr is
here"
lii II moment n dead silence rcigncd,
and between rows of aStOniShcd share
holders the venerable figure OF cX-prcSi.

directors rostrum. AS soon MS Sir

posure he sail

Aud repeat before us all the charges YOU
have madei"
Cheers MINGLED with groans greeted
Sir Horny w. Tyler, who maintained
that the Chicngo Grand Trunk was own

Trunk and that therefore the directors
were making false prctenses when they
represented the reorganization rs Il trans
action between Two independent con
Germs. Continuing. Sir Henry assorted
that the scheme involved the repudiatipn
by President Wilson Of the Chicago sec

Amid roar of hisSes and ieers the
voice Of Sir Henry was drowned, but he
continued waving his arms and shouting
inaudiblc charges against Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, who stood up and in
equally heated language absolutely de-
MED Sir Henry's allegations and abuse,l
his administration.
The meeting then, by large majority.
approved the directors plan to rcorganizc
the Chicago Grand Trunk with ii guar
antce of the interest on the bonds to be
