Here's story in point: A man nam

900-foot railroad bridge over river.
The bridge was built and the trains
were already running across. Mckay
was down on a scafold some thirty
feet under the middle. His helper,
green country recruit, had tied the
ropes that held it. There were two
ropes, one from each end. The first
rope the helper had tied around a wood
en- beam between the tracks, and next
in dreamy kind of a way he had tied
the second round one of the rails. Then
he slid down, and the pair began peace.
ably working.
Some moments later train came
laundering out. All of sudden Mckay
heard a snort. He looked round, and
saw the youth staring straight up at
the track. with his mouth wide open
look in his eyes. His freck-
led face grew slowly white. Mckay
seized his arm.

His helper looked round, gave one
frantic shout, and dived for the river

stock, at least onehalf of which repre-

its capitalization by S23000,000, practi.
eally every dollar of which represented
inside profits for himself and his friends.
Vanderbilt went about the matter with
Characteristic secrecy. Only two mem.
bers Of his board Of directors voted on
the proposition. William II. Vanderbilt,
his own son, afterwards declared that he
had been kept in ignorance, and had even
sold, at great loss, large blocks of Cen
trail stock a few days before the opera
tion went through
On this occasion Vanderbilt must have
voted profits ranging from SS,000,000 to
sl5.0o0,0o0 into his own pockets. A few
days before passing this bonus issue. it
was said, he had quietly picked up $780,
000 shares of Central stock. The day
before the deal became known, Central
stock sold at 1920 share; the day after
at $780, and Nanderbilt's purchase there
fore represented more than S5,0o0.000 in
profits. In November, 1869, Vanderbilt
consolidated the two properties into one
corporation present New York Cen
trail & Hudson River railroad; and on
this occasion he again increased their
capitalization by nearly 100000
worth of water stock In these years
