WESTERN MARYLAND MAY BE
TAKEN OVER.
TO Become "A Subsidiary OF New York
Central. III is Renortad.

%S AS -1NPOAtO4a
The following article is taken from
the Evening Sum-
Long before the traffic agreement
entered into between the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad
Company and the Western Maryland
Railway Company was consummated
it was common gossip in New York
that the former company had for some
time been picking up Western Mary
land common stock i'm the open mark
ct.
Western Maryland common has been
selling at higher price than the
junior issue OF any other railroad
company in the country which il non
dividend bearing; this of itself
is significant, but when one comes
to realize that upon the completion of
the Connellsville extension the New
York Central expecls lI SEMI tile bulk
of its export freight TO I'ali,.ore over
the Western Maryland, which will in
crease the traffic or the latter road
three-fold, fair conception can be
gained OF the enormous value which
the Western Maryland will be to the
New York Central
There are two methods being dis.
cussed in high financial circles as to
how this program viii be accomplish
ed; IL may easily be that the New
York Central will lease the West
ern Maryland for 999 years, and guar
antee 4 Or ; per cent. dividend on
the common stock from the time the
lease shall become effective
Another plan would be for the di-
rectors of the Western Maryland, hav-
ing previously received an offer from
the New York Central for the common
stock OF the former, to recommend to
the stockholders that the offer be ac-
cepted such offer being at price way
In advance of the present figure at
which it is selling.
The so-called Rockefeller interests
are still credited with owning an alb
solute control of the Western Mary
land, through their stock holdings,
with Geo. J. Gould a close second in
amount of common stock owned and
controlled, and the Deutscher Bank
also owning outright very substan-
tial block. A significant fact in re-
gard to the Rockefeller holdings is
that the same family is very largely
interested in New York Central, Will
lam Rockefeller being a director Of
the company, besides being on the
executive committee of the road.
It can be stated as the belief of two
well posted men that inside Of six
months the Western Maryland will
become subsidiary road of the New
York Central lines"

New Westminster, B. c., Sept. 49,
The biggest haul in the history of
modern bank robberies was made here
when five masked robbers blew the
safe of the branch of the Bank of Mont

and bills. Besides this, they left $780,

The robbers were caught red-handed
in their work by Chinese porter

robbers at work in the safe. They
Immediately seized the intruder, bound
and gagged him and proceeded with
their work. They blew the safe with
a charge of nitroglycerin, took what
money was in it and fled by the rear
exit. AS soon as he could get free
from his bonds, the Chinaman gave
The alarm and several posses took up
the pursuit of the bandits.
Explosion Not Heard.
The bank is next door to the police
station, but the explosion was not
heard, according to the night sergeant.
The local police have sent out a gen
eral alarm to all the cities and towns
in British Columbia, but as yet have
no clue to the identity of the bandits
or their whereabouts.
Biggest Haul in Forty Years.
The robbery was the biggest cash
haul made by cracksmen in over forty
years. The only other robkeriss COM

taken are two by what was known as
the Jimmy Hope gang in April and
August, 1869. In A;ssil of that year
this gang robbed tke Kensington Saw
