CENTRAL BUYS HUDSON VALLEY.
Report That Electric Line Has Been Acquired
by the Steam Road.
TRv Telerranb - Tbo r,;h,,,o ,

Schenectady, n. Y, July 90.-It is reported here
that the New York Central interests have acquired
the stock of the Hudson Valley Railroad Company
purchased recently by James H. Caldwell president
OF the Troy Trust Company. 1t is believed here
that the report is true. II was reported at one
time that the Delaware and Hudson interests had
obtained the Hudson Valley This has been denied
by officials of that company.
With the return OF Horace f. Andrews from
Europe. it is said, all doubt will cease. Andrews
IS president of the Mohawk Valley Company, the
holding company of the New York Central electric
lines II IS known that the line has been inspected
by persons closely in touch with the Mohawk
Valley company, although holding no official posi-
ton in that corporation. One of these trips was
made during the last forty-eight hours. Three
hours We're spent inspecting the lines which extend
from Troy 10 Glens Falls and from Troy Sara

WELLS, FARGO REPLIES.
CRITICISES MINORITY.
Circular to Stockholders Gives In
formation asked For.

The management Of Wells. Fargo & Co. last
night sent TO the stockholders another circular
in which the recent action of the minority in
terests in applying for a writ of mandamus 10
compel the officers of the corporation to disclose
certain information as to the assets and earnings
is criticised as unnecessary and unfair and the
detailed information desired is set forth. The
circular says in part:
Although it is net usual to do so. we have
by especial effort, prepared in advance of the
meeting, financial statements which we inclose
herewith. namely: Balance sheet July 26. 1906;
schedule OF bonds. stocks and warrants; sched
ule or real estate: loan schedule; statement Of
yearly earnings from August l, 1900 to June
You will observe that this furnishes. in detail
the assets of the company, the surplus. the form
in which the surplus is invested and the net
earnings for the past six years. These assets
are fairly and reasonably valued as therein stat
ed Much of the real estate was taken, unwill-
ingly. for debt represents an accumulation of
years and has been in the market for sale for
years and the principal parcel lin San Fran
ciscO) is in the destroyed district and its future
uncertain. Nor are the securities undervalued
The net earnings were reported to you at each
annual meeting and indicated in first
circulars by the statement that the surplus has
increased from $4,000 600 in 1901 to Sl2,4OOO0o
in July. 1906. The earnings by years is now SET
forth in the inclcsure. Tho complaining stock
holders seek your support upon the statement
that the coInpany has concealed and refused TO
give information to stockholders This. again,
is untrue. Full reports have beer submitted
regularly TO stockholders meetings and been ap-
proved

Comfort, Texas, June Z7.-In the pres
ence of the assembled wedding guests
last night al the home of his intended
bride, Joseph Reinhardt, the man who
was to have been married to her, shot
and instantly killed Miss Ernestine
KUtzer and then shot himself with pro-
baby fatal results. $50
The guests were assembled at the
home Of the brides father, when Rein
hardt walked into the room and leveled
a revolver at his sweetheart. She
threw up her hands as though to ward
off the danger and three shots were fired
at her in rapid succession at close
range. The first bullet entered her
heart. He is not expected to survive.
The cause of the tragedy is not
known The relations between the
sweethearts have been typical of low
ers. Both families are among the best
in this country.

How L. S. NicoIai was Induced to
Quit the Oil Business.

Washington, June 27--Lawrence S.
Nicolai, a bankrupt oil merchant of
this city, in an examination before a
referee in bankruptcy testified that in
1895 a contract was made between the
Standard Oil company and his brother
and himself, operating in the oil busi-
ness under the firm name of Nicolai
Bros, if they would abandon their
business. Previous to this time for
ten years the firm had successfully
conducted its business in opposition
to the Standard OIL company. The
amount agreed upon. Mr.. Nicolai said,
was paid annually for ten years, or
until January 1905. when, in the
words of the witness, STANDARD Oil
turned me down and refused to renew
the arrangement. They found they
could get along without me, I sup
pose said Mr.. Nicolai-
Mr.. Nicolai throughout the exami-
nation referred to himself as receiv-
ing a pension" from the Standard
oil company, although he admitted the
contract was made with his brother
as well.
After the termination of the con-
tract Mr.. Nicolai resumed the oil
business under the name of the Ma
tional Oil company, but was unable
to make it a success.
