TRYING FOR "PENNsY."
Rumor That Gould and Rockefeller
Will Join Forces.

dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
New York says a banker of forty years
experience in Wall street said this after
noon: IL j
From what I know Of the situation and
the events leading up to it, It is my DELHI
crate opinion that George ]. Gould and
John d. Rockefeller are on top of the
market The worst thing that& was ever
done to the security market was the re-
cent destruction by Mr.. Cassatt of West
ern Union property.
mr.. Gould is now hitched up with John
D. and William Rockefeller, and when
they are through there will be a clearing
up of the security wrecks. 1t is significant.
In my opinion, that one of the two big
financial interests In this city has been
bare of stocks and bearish in its operations
for year, and the other big financial in
terest has been loaded up to the neck with
stocks and bullish in its sentiment for a
year or more"
Speaking of the offer of certain capital
lists to take all or any part of the Penn
sylvania's $75,OO0Oo0 of additional stock
from the syndicate which agreed to under
write 1t at a good advance over the price
to be paid the company for it-it is to be
issued at 100 and the syndicate is to re-
ceive a commission of 2k per cent ION

that there were undoubtedly several large
financial interests which would be willing

to buy control of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company on a per cent basis, and
that" said one banker lis the basis on
which the stock is practically selling now.
Just think" he continued what the
buyers of the Pennsylvania would get. Not
only would they secure control of the best
railroad in the United States. but they
would also get the control of the Baltimore
and Ohio the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the Norfolk and Western.
while the authorized capital stock of
the road is now $i01, 600 COO, only s2O4, :
$50 is outstanding. and 1t is equally true
that any one interest owning the $75,OCOOOo
of new stock would practically control the
company as that would be the largest in
diyiduaI holding. Should the syndicate
have to take the whole $I5,O000O0 of new
stock they could in my opinion eventually
sell it on a a per cent basis or say. at $50,
and some might consider the control of
the company cheap at that price"

MURDERER CoNFEssEs.
Rochester Girls Death Two Years Ago
Cleared UP.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Rochester says: August Russell has con-
fessed that he Is the slayer of Miss Theresa
Heating, whose mysterious murder on the
night of November 20, 1900, startled and
terrorized all Rochester Russell would
never have been suspected of the crime. and
is his own accuser. He recently confided
to an intimate friend the story of the muir
der, telling it several times, and so i'm
pressing his confidant that the police were
notified.
1t was arranged that Russell should again
repeat the tale, while detectives in hiding
overheard 1t, and this plan was carried out.
Russelfs recital shows him to be a most
depraved character, and Is so ctrcumstan-
tial in it's details that the crime Is as sure
~ fastened upon him, the authorities say,
as IL there had been a dozen witnesses.
Russell declares that he Is glad the worst
is known; that the thoughts of his deed
and the possibility of detection have driven
him almost to madness. He is happier, he
says, now that the matter is settled.
