Drama of Finance.

The receivership marks the climax to
one Of the most astonishing and dramatic
stories in American finance, of which
other chapters are to come. BY a curious
coincidence the first action taken leading
to them was taken December go 1907, and
the clamping down of the Ryan-Blair
party on the property December 90 1903.
1t was four years. almost to the hour,
from the seizure to the surrender of the
system by Thomas Fortune Ryan. The
property was acquired in one panic, in
1903. from those who established it, and
was relinquished to the courts after an
Iother panic, in 1907.

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind At.
ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith In their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time I settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher IL he gets sheep
killed, | think of this story, illustra-
tive OF the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one Of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around, he was told. Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest
railroad Ii three miles away he
learned. Well, WELL he commented.
I knew it hit us pretty hard, but
didn't suppose it knocked US three
miles from the track"
