By CHARLES A. GOLDMAN

Washington f. Connor to buy control OF the property.
This purchase stock proposition, in the face OF the
hostility Of Eastern interests fully difficult the
conquest Of Pittsburgh. Mr. Connor however, accom-
pshed the feat and Mr. Gould paid him the stipulated
commission. For the property obtained and the ends
achieved thereby, it was worth the money.

piled belief that the large capitalist is obligated to
serve the public interest that supports his investment

but its characteristic that where he has the wits to
make million he has also the impulse to risk lose it
in greater things.

Ohio Although it owned outright only three hundred
and thrvfour miles Of road II was valuable IN serving
as an outlet TO the Middle West and the South. The
syndicate then bought up another railroad in Michigan,
and sold it 10 the c.. H. & d. II acquired third rail
