ERIE RAILROAD TO
E. H. HARTMAN
MORGAN INTEREST IN THE PROP.
ERTY TO BE oUSTED, Ac-
CoRDING TO REPORT.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Following
the action of Edward H. Hartman IN
providing $500, 900 yesterday for the
payment of maturing notes, it was said
today in Wall street that the Erie Rail
road will shortly pass under the abso
lutte control of Mr.. Hartman and his
associates who stand ready to spend
under certain conditions, from $780,
100000 to s4O,OO0,OOO for improve
ments in terminals, tunnels, trackage
and rolling stock.
If these plans are completed, Mr.
Harrimans dream of perfectly
equipped complete trans-continental
road, with Erie as the eastern outlet,
will have come true.
Although it cannot be stated with
certainty how soon it will be before
the Morgan interests cease to domi-
nate Erie, those who claim to be in
the confidence of Mr.. Hartman pre-
dict that this will be accomplished at
no distant date.
In addition to furnishing yesterday
the necessary money to take care OF
maturing notes, Mr.. Hartman, it is
stated will himself take $5000,0OO OF
the new six-year notes, so as to pro
vide the company with funds to meet
immediate needs.
According to the original plan these
notes were to have been underwritten
by syndicate composed of J. P. Nor
gan & Company, George F. Baker, h.
NICK. Twombly and Mr.. Hartman on
condition that all the old noteholderS
exchanged their maturing notes for
the new ones. AS some Of them re-
fused to assent to the plan the syndf
cate agreement became void. Now
Mr.. Hartman will finance the matter
alone, which leads many to believe
that he already is the dominant factor
in the road.
Mr.. Harriman's statement issued
last night, saying that the situation
speaks for itself" is regarded as more
than usually suggestive. His action
in providing $5,OOOOOO he said was
taken for the purpose of preserving
for the Erie Railroad its position
among the lines in its territory ana
with view to its upbuilding the ter
ritory adjacent to its lines, as other
lines of the same sections have MP
built their territories

argument had no more effect on them
than had the pale rays Of the lantern
beside him, yet he continued:
II don't deny that Mcnamara de-
serves lynching, but Stillman doesn't
He's a weak old man"-some one
laughed derisively-"and there's a
woman In the house. He's all she has
in the world to depend upon, and you
would have to kill her to get at him
II you must follow this course, take
the others, but leave him alone"
They only shook their heads, while
several pushed by him even as he
spoke. Were going to distribute our
favors equal" said a man as he left
They were actnated bv what thr'
called justice, and he could not sway
them. The life and welfare of the
north were in their hands, as they
thought, and there was not one to hest
tate. Glenister implored the chairman.
but the man answered him:

and let me remind you of your prom

that exists for an honorable man

IDENTIFY wishing to avoid argument
Roy had seen signs of unrest beneath
the prospector's restraint during the
past few days, and indications of a
fierce hunger to vent his spleen on the
men who had robbed him of his most
sacred rights. He was of an intolerant
vindictive nature that would go to any
length for vengeance. Retributon was
part of his creed.
On his way home the young man
looked at his watch to find that he had
but an hour to determine his course
Instinct prompted him to join his
friends and to even the score with the
men who had injured him so bitterly,
for, measured by standards Of the
frontier. they were pirates with their
lives forfeit Yet he could not coun-
tenance this step. If only the vigi-
lantes would be content with making
an eXample-but he knew they would

easy to whet and hard to hold
Mcnamara would resist, as would
Voorhees, and the district attorney,
then there would be bloodshed riot
chaos. The soldiers would be called
out and martial law declared the
streets would become skirmish grounds.
The vigilantes would rout them with
out question, for every citizen of the
north would rally to their aid, and such
men could not be stopped, The judge
would go down with the rest of the
ring, and what would happen to-her?

the set of his strong. square face was
the promise that she should have what
ever she craved If mortal man could
give it to her-love, protection, posi-

She stammered uncertainty till the
humiliation and chagrin she had sur

envious, clacking scandal mongers, all

make her life In the northland mis-

to sustain her but her own solitary
pride. She could picture her future
clearly, pitilessly, and see herself
standing alone, vilified, harassed in
thousand cutting ways, yet unable to
run away or to explain. She would
have to stay and face it, for her life
was bound up here during the next few
years or so, or as long as her S~% -

except Glenister- Bah! The beast! He
had insulted her at first; he wronged
her now.

man repeated softly.
She dropped her head, and he STROBE
