My OFFER II 70 NELLEN
REPORTED THAT HE MAY BE TEN
DERED PRESIDENCY OF NEW
YORK CENTRAL
NEWMAN ALSO MENTIONED
He Is President OF Lake Shore sys-
tenn and Was Connected with
the Great Northern
ROcd


Samuel r. Galloway having rendered to
William X. Vanderbilt his resignation as
president of the New York Central &
Hudson River railroad, the question as
to who his successor will be is beginning
to be discussed in hign railroad circles.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the names that have been mem
toned most prominently in the late New
York dispatches are both well known III
the Western railroad world One is that
of w. H. Newman. president Of toe Lake
Shore system, and the other is that Of
c. s. Melen. president of the Northern
Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Newman was connected with the
Great Northern for some years, and wnen
he left to go East he was holding a high
executive position.
Mr.. Mellen has been identified with the
! Morgan interests for a number of years,
and the time was when the Vanderbilts
were not on the-most friendly terms with
this group. By securing him, the Van
derbits would gain the services of one
of the keenest railroad men in the busi-
ness, and the report that the position
may be offered him does not seem i'm
probable.
! Mr.. Mellen has heard nothing of the

photographs were taken of the corona,

KARANGSAGO. Sumatra, May 18.-F
w. Dyson, of the royal observa tory,
Greenwich, experienced unsatisfactory
conditions to observe the eclipse of the
sun from the island Of Auer Gedong
The morning dawned heavy with Clouds
but improved later. The sun, however,
was obscured the whole time. The dura-
ton of the eclipse was six minutes and
twenty-one seconds Mercury and Venus
were seen. The form of the corona was
that usually associated with the sun spot
minimum
PORT LOUIS. Mauritius, May 18-The
total eclipse of the sun was well OBJ
served at the Royal Alfred observatory
The partial eclipse was partly lost
through a cloud and the first contact
was entirely lost. The three contacts were
well observed. The party included TWEEN
ty-two observers Fifty-two photographs
of the Corona were obtained with the
photo-heliograph of the Mauritius OBJ
servatory. the Greenwich coronograph,
the new Begin telescope and other small
er cameras. Forty-one photographs were
taken of the partial phase, for rhe diane
ter and place of the moon, and eighteen
photographs were taken of the spectrum.
Prof. ClaXton ranged the meteorologi-
cal observations over wide areas, for
evidence of eclipse cyclone. The corona
was of the expected minimum, type, but
seemed fainter, yellower, more diffuse
and less definite than the eclipse Of last
May.

Change Wednes-
day.

N. Y. Spec. to Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
On Wednesday morning, just after the
extraordinary record made by the ticker
tape giving the first hint of the Northern
Pacific corner was read in various bank
ing offices, a represe ntative of one of tho
more prominent private banking houses
called upon President Frederick d TaD-
pen, of the Gal1atin bank. and said to
him that if this storm signal was fol-
lowed by the threatened hurricane the
services which Mr.. Happen has been call
ed upon to render many times in the
past would again be exacted of him
The prediction proved. to be a correct
one. Yesterday morning Mr. Tappen
came to his office prepared for action in
case emergency should demand it, but it
was not until after lunch hour that he
heard that the storm had broken; that
violent gales were prevailing in the ex-
changes: that men were desperate for
the want of money. and that as high as
60 per cent was offered for the use of it.
Mr.. TappenF recognized all the symp-
toms that pOrtend a true financial hurri-
cane, and he believed 1t to be his duty to
call upon tie Resources which he felt
sure were at his command so that pro-
lection could BET offered not only to those
Immediately in danger but to the entire
financial and commercial community. He
was on the street in moment or two,
called one or two of his neighbors, who
are also bank-szpres dents, summoned
others by telephone, and within twenty
minutes had established a money pool
aggregating.za latle over $4,000 G00, and
one that could haave been increased to $25,-
coo, 900 easily enough had 1t been deemed
necessary to raisA as large an amount as
that Then he Summoned faithful
agent, who went ito the exchange and Of
fered to lend money right and left, but
of course toNine1T of approved credit and
of good secuTfties The very appearance
of this agent wSs like the coming of a
relief ship to those who were in distress
upon the high sea. In a few moments
millions were loaned a good deal of it
at the very high market rate but Mr..
Tappen reasoned that it would be better
to lend this money at the high rates
rather than at the customary per cent,
since in the latter case unscrupulous
SPECTATORS might get possession of it
and then demand unreasonable prices
for it.

to Put Them In

The RESUMPTION of homcseeker's rates
to the far West may be announced at
any time now, as there appears to be no
doubt that the Missouri lines will put
them in almost Immediately. SO far rs
the three Northern lines are concerned,
however. the low fares will not be grant
ed weekly as was done in the winter
months. but bi-monthly. At present
excursion rates are being given twice
every month. bug they are for round trips
only; the new rates which are likely
TO be offered will be for round trip on
a basis Of a single fare. plus y. This
means practically a home seekers rate,

The damage by the deluge of last Fri
day to county roads and bridges is
worse than was at first supposed. A
tour of inspection was made yesterday
morning by County Engineer Robert
Hazlett and Llessrs. Bowman and DAN
ner, of the committee on roads and
bridges of the Board of County Com
missioners.
The committee went over the entire
road, following Waddle's, or 'tPole Cat
run, as far as Carriers. about mile and
half above Greggsville. Every bridge
along the stream is gone, and every YES
tige Of masonry along the run or the
road is destroyed. In places the entire
road is washed away, and in other
places there is only enough of it remain
ing for foot path, and very unsafe
ore
For a distance of half mile above
Greggsvile it might be possible for a
team to go, but beyond that it is I'M
safe at present, even for a man riding
horseback The members of the COM
mittee walked.
Engineer Hazlett stated that the force
of the water coming down Waddle's
run, apparently swept everything before
it. At one point there was stone in
the bed of the creek, about fourteen feet
square and two feet thick, weighing
about eighteen tons. 1t was taken up,
carried thirty feet and turned over.
Mr.. Hazlett stated that he could not
estimate the amount of money the
Board will be required to spend to re-
place the bridges and repair the road,
but it would not fall short of $4,000
1t will be some time before the road can
be placed in proper condition for
travel.
