saved. but were arrested on landing.
The Official account from cartasena
does not mention the captain except to
repeat the report that tho wreck was
due to his imprudence in venturins
too close to the Hormigas shoals In
order TO save time. II is said that the
manic on board caused more ioss OF
life than the sea itself.

haps the greatest surprise of all. 1t
was not until 1900 that Hartman cut
any figure in the railroad world.
The most important railroad posi-
ton that he had occupied up to that
time was that of vice president of the
Illinois Central railroad. This post he
held for time prior to the annual
meeting of 1889. when he retired to
devote himself co the banking and
brokerage business, which previously
had occupied his attention. He Incl
dentally took up the handling of rail-
road securities, with which he had
been intimately familiar from the very
beginning of his active business
career.
1t was really in 1900, however, that
the magnate's commanding force of
character revealed itself. And from
that time until now he has held a posi-
ton which for prominence, Importance
and influence has been second to few
In the railroad and financial worlds. 1t
was in 1900 that Mr.. Hartman man
aged for syndicated interests that had
purchased the Union Pacific, as it
emerged from the hands of receivers,
the purchase of the Southern Pacific,
on terms that not only afforded the
Union Pacific it's direct outlet to the
Pacific coast and the gulf, but gave the
railroad control of the Morgan line Of
steamships, running between New
York and New Orleans.
If it was a surprise that Hartman
should be called to such a position,
what he has accomplished since has
been a still greater and more remark
able surprise. In these six years the
physical condition of the whole of
what is now known as the Hartman
system-including the Union, South
ern and Central Pacifics, the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregan Railroad
and Navigation companies-practically
has been reconstructed and from "a
streak of rust" has been transformed
into a standard railroad, brought up to
the highest condition of physical per-
lection and made capable of being
operated after the latest and most ap-
