bers OF the exchange. The site for the ele-
vator Is not yet selected. nor are further
details made, but these will be looked after

Informal but serious consideration was

RAMSEY FAILS TO SCORE
Gould Faction VIII Elect the SIX
Directors for the Bond
holders.

TOLEDO, O.. Oct 1O-No directors were
chosen at the annual meeting of the Wa
bash railroad today. The sessions, with the
exception OF two brief recesses, lasted from
o'clock in the morning until 11:15 at night,
almost the entire time being taken up by
the examination of proxies.
Although no figures had been given out
by the inspectors of the election, 1t is
believed that the vote to be taken the first
thing tomorrow morning will show that Mr..
Gould has behind him s22OOO,O0O OF the
bonds and that Mr.. Ramsey has in the
neighborhood Of $2,0OO,O This makes GER
tain that six men nominated by the Gould
faction as directors representing the bond
holders will be elected. These men are
Russell Sage. Winslow s. Pierce, r. c.
Clowry. f. T. welles w. B. Saunders and
r. M. Galloway.
Mr.. Ramsey has not shown sufficient
strength to enable him to hold his seat as
director. and It is generally believed that
he is weaker in stock proxies than he Is
| in the bonds. Under the CHAPTER of the
Wabash road the bondholders and the
stockholders each elect six directors and
| these choose the thirteenth.

longing to the accused in Peoria. Search

affected in the slightest by his nights
Incarceration in the common Jail. After
his sons and attorney had gone. he played
solitaire until 10 o'clock and then retired.
He was up at o'clock and devoured a
breakfast brought him from the National
hotel and which had been paid for by his
son. Dougherty has requested that no one
be allowed to see him save his family and
attorneys. All night long curiosity seekers
clamored for an entrance to the jail to see
him.
The states attorney said the evidences OF
guilt against him are now so strong that he
does not see how he can escape a long
term in the pententiary

caused by the discovery that the school
