HARTMAN NEAR

Condition Of Railroad Maenate
Reported Serious After Re.
cent Operation.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
New York, Jan. Tt became known
last night that the condition of E. H.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, had
changed for the worse in the last day
or two. His friends are now seriously
alarmed about him.
The operation which Hartman under
went about a week ago, and which was
expected to give him relief has proved
to have been not altogether successful,
and his condition at this time is as bad
if not worse than it has been at any
time previously
At the opening of the hearing of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
counsel for the Union Pacific railway
declared that its president would be
unable to testify.
Late reports confirm the impression
that Mr.. Hartman condition is really
more serious than has generally been
thought. Hartman is at his town
house, II East Sixty-second street.

Ely Not Affected

The report of the condition of

Ely yesterday because the men
in control of the concern are
known to the mining men here,
but otherwise had no fleet. The
Sullivan Company, some time
ago, made arrangements to cs-
tablish an Office in Ely and take
hold Of a group Of properties
west of camp. No headway was
made with these plans, proba bly,
because of the impending diff
culties of the concern.
Very few persons in Ely hold
Sullivan Goldield shares. The

When the work was completed
they started back for Ely, but
about ten miles out the team at

were riding in became worn out
with heavy pulling through the

decided that Mr.. Richards should
remain with the wagon while
Mr.. johnson came to town with
the horses to get Il fresh team.
On Sunday man was sent out

night he returned, reporting
that he had been unable to find
Mr.. Richards, and that the roads
were almost impossible because
of the depth Of the SNOW,
through which the horses could
scarcely drag their way.

at has been hard to get what we
want" said Mr.. Cannon, "because
the Eastern builders OF railroad coach
es are rushed with work. The Nevada
Northern needs more coaches to accom-
modate the increasing number of pas
sengers over the line, and the new cars
will be put into use just as soon as we
can get them. We are doing all we
can to hurry them here.
There were seventy-eight passengers
