SaEgHHS ; fit E, Thirty Thousand Miles of Kailroad Under Control of Jay Gould and the Standard. EFFECT OF RECEliT STOCK DEALS. A Railroad Combination That Takes in One-Fifth of the Railway Mile age of the Country. THE TAST IXTE5T OF THE PfiOJECT. Pittslirg Will Secure Another New Outlet to the Lakes By It Along with the breaking of banks and the flurry in "Wall street, the Standard Oil party and Jay Gould turn up with the most stupendous railroad combination the world has ever seen. This aggregation has secured control of fully one-fifth of all the railway mileage in the United States. A trans continental system with through trains over the Baltimore and Ohio ana Northern Pacific was announced some time ago. But the scheme is far greater than that, as it in cludes no less than three transcontinental routes and the operation of over 30,000 miles of railroad, the control of which is in the hands ot one combination. The system not only crosses the continent, but traverses the country from the Sew England coast to the Gulf of Mexico, with feeders and auxiliaries in everv important traffic district through out the country. The last moves in this great game are fresh in the public memory, being the pur chase of 100,000 shares Northern Pacific, preferred stock, by the Standard Oil party, and the purchase of a like amount of Itich mond Terminal by the Jay Gould party, each with the assistance of the otner's brokers. The other steps have been taken at intervals during several years past In cidentally, it may be recalled to mind that the same aggregation controls the Western "Union Telegraph and the petroleum in dustry. What future moves are intended may be partly divined from the past history of the capitalists concerned and an examina tion of the arrangements made. JAY GOULD'S PET IDEA. A transcontinental railroad has long been a pet idea of Jay Gould's, and in 1880-81 he had surveys made in this State and Ohio with a view to the construction of an air line road to carry the "Wabash system into New YorK. A portion of the Pittsburg and "Western was to have been a link in this road, while its Eastern connection was with the Philadelphia and Beading. That proj ect, however, went beyond the surveys, and Mr. Gould, busy with the Southwest roads and the Pacifies, seemed to have for gotten the transcontinental idea altogether, except in so far as he was perfecting a trans continental - transatlantic - transeverything telegraph. Here is where the Stanaard Oil party came in. It had use for some tele graph stock itself. It also had a telegraph of its own, and arrangements were made for interchange of business. But the particular assistance lent hy the Standard party in the completion of the telegraph scheme was in the purchase of the Baltimore and Ohio tel egraph through the well-remembered syndi cate, the deal which so upset Robert Gar rett. The transatlantic railwav scheme was then started in a very modest, unobtrusive way. During the years 1SS5-8G, the Stand ard oil partv secured control of the New York and New England system, together with peculiarly valuable dock property at New YorK, as pointed out in The Dis patch at that time. In the latter year Jabez A. Bostwick and his lieutenants ap peared in the directorate ,pf the road, oustinc the old management. Even before this time John D. Bockarcller was known to be a heavy buyer of St. Paul, being especially active in that property during the Grant & Ward panic of 1884. Rockaleller appeared in the directorate of St Paul in 1880, and it was generally understood his holdings controlled the road. THE MOVE ON EICH3IOND TERMINAL. It was in 1SSG, too, that the movements of Richmond Terminal first attracted so much attention in Wall street, and it was shown in the financial columns of The Dispatch at that time that it was Standard Oil capi tal that was backing that scheme. The Oil party soon retired behind its co-workers in that project and the real ownership of Rich mond Terminal became fogged under the title ot the Brice-Thomas syndicate, though the Standard Oil party was still the syndi cate end of the deal. In the flurry of the wck just passed the Gould party picked up !.t 100,000 shares of the Terminal, prac tically all that was not already held by the syndicate, and this party will be represented in the directorate by Jay Gould, George Gould and Russell bage. During the past four years the Ter minal has been hnsy getting a grip on everything'south of Mason & Dixon's line and the Ohio river, its latest acquisition be ing the Cincinnati, New Orleansand Texas Pacific The syndicate voted 51 per cent of the stock at the annual election, October 19 last, electing Samuel Thomas, Calvin S. Brice, John H. Inman, M. E. Ingalls and W. P. Anderson, instead of Frank Bond, Isaac Martin, Swift, Wessel and Harvey. Nearly a year ago overtures were made to the city ot Baltimore and the Johns Hop kins University for the purchase of their Baltimore and Ohio securities on behalf ot a syndicate, which it was understood already held considerable stock. When the nego tiations were completed the stock was taken hy a Mr. Brown, who was identified as Mr. Brown, of the Richmond Terminal. The deal had been handled on the same plan as that for the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph, and the lunds were luruished by the Stand ard Oil party. Meantime thcjllockalellers had been pick ing up Northern Pacific, and, in connection with Henry "Villard, controlled that prop erty through the North American Company. In the whirl following the money market squeeze and through the troubles of the North American, the Standard Oil party, with Mr. Gould's assistance, picked up 100, 000 shares Northern Pacific preferred, thereby perfecting their control of the prop erty. Almost as soon as the Baltimore city snd Johns Hopkins Baltimore and Ohio stock was trans'erred to Mr. Brown, of Richmond Terminal, arrangements were announced for operating a transcontinental system, with through trains over the Balti more and Ohio and Northern Pacific, using the Wisconsin Central for terminal facilities in Chicago and a convenient connection, in dicating a prearranged plan. JSXTENT OF THE SCHEME. " But this is not all of the transcontinental Echeme. Mr. Gould's Missouri Pacific is 'Vit benefited by this arrangement and a Je part of the Terminal would be left out Biwhen Mr. Gould picked up the big block of Terminal stock it was discovered that the Terminal reaches the Missouri Pacific at two points on the Mississippi Memphis, Tenn., and Greenville, Ark. Singularly enough it is also discovered that the two systems comprise two perfect trans continental routes with feeders and auxil iaries coverine the entire territory south of the Ohio and Missouri river', and connect ing with the other transcontinental route and its network of roads north of those rivers. All of these lines will enter Balti more, Philadelphia, New York and Boston by the Baltimore and Ohio, and New York find New England systems. la the jortiera, jgtfm the 2cv Tojk, GIGANTIC SCHEM Lake Erie and Western and St Paul are important factors. The latter covers the Duluth and Manitoba regions, connecting at Duluth at the Standard's million-dollar docks, erected in 1887, as announced in The Dispatch, and which were somewhat of a mystery, for the late trade. The Erie may be used for through freight, but mainly for certain local business and as a feeder. Pittsburg is in the scheme. The through passenger service of the transcontinental route will leave the old Baltimore and Ohio main line at Cumberland, running over the Pittsburg division, thence by Pittsburg and Western to Akron and Orrvllle, O., thence by road now building to Chicago Junction, on the main line, and then into Chicago. Preparations for this change are being made all along the line. Ground has been bought at Cumberland for shops. Additional trackage is being provided in this city, and the 23-acre purchase at Hazelwood is for tracks and shops. The work of double tracking the Pittsburg and "Western has been begun and the Baltimore and Ohio is to be double from Chicago Junction to Chi cago. Northward by the Pittsburg and Western, Pittsburg, Shenango and Lake Erie, the seven-mile link recently chartered by Hon. S. B. Dick and others and the Erie system, Pittsburg will be given another new outlet to the lakes and the Baltimore and Ohio an entrance into Buffalo. THE "VAiTDEKBn.TS AT WOBK. That the Vanderbilts have been aware of these movements for some time is evidenced by their plunge into Reading and the sur veys made to connect Reading and Beech Creek with the Lake Shore at Oil City and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, as recently exclusively announced in The Dispatch. This move" was especially significant because of the position of the Reading and the Iriendly arrangements between the old Bal timore and Ohio management and the Read ing under Austin Corbin. With the com pletion of the proposed road the Vanderbilts will have a slight advantage, in distance, over the Baltimore and Ohio between New York and Pittsburg and New York and Chicago. The Pennsylvania has not fig ured at all, except to help the Vanderbilts get Reading and allow them to enter what they have always guarded as their own special territory. This carries the whole scheme back to the beginning for explanation. The Gould surveys were made across Pennsylvania, not far from the present Vanderbilt surveys, in 1880-81, connecting with the Reading at the east and the Pittsburg and "Western at the west Just after these surveys were made, the Baltimore and Ohio turned up in Pittsburg and Western. Next the South I'enn was organized to connect the Reading with the west, with H. McK. Twomblv, of the Vanderbilts, and John D. Rocfeafeller, William Rockafeller, John D. Archbold, William C. Whitney and Oliver H. Payne, of the Stand ard Oil party, prominent among the stockholders. Gould had his surveys, but others had his connections at either end of the line. It is not necessary to go over the history of the ill-fated South Penn, the DUUUlDg Ol me Hb ouure uuu mchci Plate and the subsequent deal which strangled the South Penn, leaving it, as de scribed by a Pennsylvania railroad man, not a competing line but "a lot of holes in the crround." The Vanderbilts, in any event, wanted no more war with the Penn sylvania, but the sequel indicates the Stand ard Oil party was only made more deter mined by defeat how the standard is inteeested. How much of the Standard party's deter mination was created by the settlement of numerous suits for discrimination against the Pennsylvania road and the payments of large sums to 20 or more firms, which had suffered that the Standard might be favored, can only be told by the principals them selves. But it is certain the Standard's longing for railroad property was born shortly after the change in the Pennsylvania Railroad management, and was developed into an all-powerful mania with the passage and operation of the inter-State commerce law. It is notable that the roads affected have a special relation to the petroleum business. The Baltimore and Ohio cuts through the length of the Washington county fields; is the only road that touches the new West Virginia developments and cuts the big Northwestern Ohio field in two. The new connection from Orrville to Chicago Junction will cut that field again. The Pittsburgh & Western practically follows the oil belt from this city to Bradford. The Erie reaches Bradford, Alleganv, New York and Venango. The other roads cover every principal route to refineries and every line by which distribution of the manufact ured product is made. AMOUNT OF MILEAGE CONTEOLLED. Among the systems of railroad controlled by the aggregation are the Baltimore and Ohio, operating 1,760 miles of road, exclu sive of Pittsburg and Western; the Northern Pacific, operating 3,740 miles; Missouri Pacific, over 5,000 miles; Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, 7,300 miles; St Paul, Minnesota aud Manitoba, 3,000 miles; Richmond and Danville, East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific and others in the Richmond Terminal plan, C,000 miles. H ew York and New England and other New England roads, 2,000 miles. New York, Lake Erie and Western system, Pittsburg and West ern and others in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, 2,500 miles. These figures are based on the official statis tics of the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, and comprise over one-fi'th of all the railway mileage in the United States. A. R. Cbum. Closing Out Auction Sale Of diamonds, watches, jewelry, clocks, bronzes, silver and silver plated ware, etc. Finding that I cannot give the necessary amount ot attention to two stores, I have de cided to dispose of my Smith field street store and afterward give my entire atten tion to the store at 36 Fifth avenue. Both establishments have large and complete stocks of goods usually carried in first-class jewelry establishments. The consolidation of the two stocks would he too large for one store, in consequence I have decided to close out my stock at 533 Smithfield street, at auction, and have secured the services of Colonel J. M. Rutherford, of Philadelphia, a salesman. My stock is composed of over $75,000 worth of strictly first-class watches, diamonds, jewelry, silvern are, clocks, bronzes, etc This.stock mnst be closed out as quickly as possible. All goods are guar anteed. I am not retiring from business. After disposing of my Smithfield street store, I will be located at 36 Fifth avenue. Sales begin Monday, November 24, at 10 a. m., 230 and 730 P. M., and will continue daily until entire stock and fixtures are dis posed of, at M. G.

They Are an Illustration of the Tendency of the Times Toward Little Waist and Weak Bodies. Anyone who visits the art museums may be strnck with the fact that the feet of all the ancient statutes seem.very large. They do seem so, but it will be found that for symmetrical perfection these feet could not be better, and yet the feet of tho average man or woman to day are much smaller than in ancient times. One might natnriilly ask. Why Is this? The answer is not difficult Modern custom and fashion have contracted feet to their present small proportions; shoes have taken the place of sandals. Indeed, it is only one Illustration of many of what advanced ctvilization and fashion do. The waists ot women in ancient days were not so small as in the present age of corsets. The health of women in ancient times was better than In onr present day of social demands, household cares and hurried living. Women are w caker than they once were. Tney feel depressed, bine, weak and languid, where thev were once bright, strongand active. Snch modern troubles require the most advanced treatment, and the best physicians and most scientific authorities of the present day de clare that pore stimulants aro a necessity in most lives. It is a significant fact however, in connection with this statement, that only pure stimulants are ever of value, while impuro are an actual harm. The best and pnrest of all stimulants now known to the public is Duffy's Pure Malt Whistey. It is, indeed, the only medicinal whiskey known to the professions or tbe public It has been tested by years of use, and is far mora popular to-day than ever before in its history. It has many imitators and the usnal jealousies wtuich merit always brings, and hence when unscrupnlous dealers offer any other article, they should be given to un derstand that only Duffy's can be used. it.
