R Deposition of the Directors of the Company in the Groat Fisk Case-History of the Boad, Etc.. Etc. The following document, filed In the New York Supreme Court on Monday, will interest many of our readetß: Janice Flak, Jr., agent, against The Union Pa cific Railroad Company and others, City and County of Now. York, as. Oakes Ames, a stockholder. and Thomas C. Duran’, John B. Alley, Sidney Dillon and Cornelias 8. Baehoell, Directors of tne Union Paclflc Billroad Compsnv, and defendants In this action, being severally ew irn, each far h merit, deposes end rays hit be has heard read the complaint and first ant eeco d enpp'ementil < omplal t in this action, and knows be contents t'ereoq That as t. the all shares of the stock of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, alleged by the plaintiff to belong to him. the facts are as followe: That daring the progress of the work on the line of said railroad a contract was made to enable said Company to prosecute said work, which by the terms thereof, was not to be binding, unices the same was assented to and confirmed by the stock holders of said railroad. That the same was sub mitted to and approved by said stockholders, and therefore legal notice of each contract and approval wee endorsed upon the stock certificates of said Com pai.y. That afterwards, as deponents are informed end believe, said Fisk became the purchaser from a party who had assented to the said contract for the mere purpose of enabling him to bring an annoying suits gainst the Company .or six shares of said stock of the present value of $250, or thereabouts, re celvlng for the same a certificate upon which was 1 lain Iy endorsed legal notice of and express ratification of all the acta ol which he now complains; and dvponante ore advised by counsel and believe lha' t a to said six charts of stock, the plaintiff Is estopped from making any complaint or demand against the ta'd Company, or against any of the defendants In ibis aetlon. That.the said plaintiff has no other stock In the said corporation,, nor any Interest therein, nor any canes of action against the same or against any of the defendants herein, except that arising upon the pre tended sobsctptlon to the Company’s stock,, as ee forth In the original complaint, and tbit, as to said stock. It la clalmod by the Compsny that such original nibrcrlpticn was Invalld and of no legal effect; that the same was made without any Intention on the pan of the plaintiff of paying for the same, or for the purpose of becoming a bona fide stockholder In said Company; that if valid, the same belongs to parties other than the plaintiff, that the alleged offer by as of tender was by means ol checks as hereinafter set forth, and withont the risk or use of one dollar of ibe plaintiff's money or credit, and that In the incep tion thereof, as at all times since, the sole objectof a. c. PUGH. Secretary. the plaintiff, as deponents believe and charge, was in and by usnsaal and annoying threats and litigations to compel the said corporation to pay to him a large sum of money wblcn they were not legally liable to pay, in order to si cure their peace, and in order to prevent tbe Injury to the credit of the Compsny which the threats aid extraordinary proceedings of the plaintiff In this Court were likely to produce. And the said Sidney Dillon, one of the above nwmpA defendants farther says, thst since the commencement of this salt, and during the month of March last, he had a conversation with the plaintiff In respect to such subscription, at which time the said Fisk Informed deponent that said sub scription was made by him tor other parties; that he further stated that he sent a person to make a far ther subscription for the same persons to Chleago,and when he had done all this, he rendered a' bill for his services and expenses to his em ployer of $3,150, which, “douia them, they refused to pay,” and the plaintiff did not claim that any por tion of said subscription was for n Is own account, or that be bad any interest therein, and. deponent is In formed, and believes, that his alleged complaint against his principals Is a mere pretence, in is much as he did not send an agent to Chicago nor pay any expenses in connection therewith, the same having been paid by the same person from whom he temporarily received possession of the check with which his alleged tender for said stock was mads; and the said John B. Alley deposes and says, that on the 10th day of March last, be had a conversation with plaintiff In tbe city of New York, in which said Fisk said that he did not mike his sub scription to said stock In his own Interest; that he made it in the Interest of, at the request of, and to serve the Directors of tbe Union. Pacific Railroad; that they behaved so meanly t che was led to take tho proceedings against t_e Company. Be said: “I made this sab.-crlption for them; sent a man to Chicago, paid counsel, and Incurred oihir expenses amounting to about 33.205, and I thought, as I did it in their interest and for their benefit, that they ought to have paid the bill, but they were so d d mesn they would not, and then I made up my mind to try It on and Bee what I could do; that I tben raised my price to $75,000, and as tboy would not settle a' that, I now propose io have $100,'0) and if tbey don’t accede to my demand I’ll pat It to them until they tnve been damaged enough to con clude it's bit to do it.” That in no part of this conversation did (hi phii- tlif allege or claim that the said subscription, or any pjrt thereof, was made for himself, or that ho had any interest therein; on the contrary, he expressly stated that the snit wob brought solely because some body had not paid his expenses of $3,200 as afore said. And the Bald Cornelias B. Bashnell says that he bad a conversation with said plaintiff In Jaiy last, after the commencement of the snit in New York, ia which the plaintiff Bt&ted that said alleged subscrip tion to said stock was made for two persons, directors in said railroad, and not for himself, and that ha had no Interest therein, and that the reason why he had brought this snit, was because bis principals had not paid to him certain expenßeß he had been pat to in retaining connrel, and said be: “I have commenced my salt, and I want a large earn of money, and if yon do net settle with me, the papers are mado oat and signed by ibe'Jndgs, for a receiver of tho Unloa Pa cific Railroad, and he will be appointed ex parte be fore 3 o’clock to-morrow. That deponent at first believed said Fisk’s state ments, and was much alarmed by these threats, and feared that the Company would be compelled to pay almost any snm the plaintiffs chase to demand, as at that time the Oomppny had many million; of pro perty In New York, which, if slezed without notice by a receiver, would have put an end temporarily to all work on the road: That no receiver was appointed at that time; but fearing that the plaintiff’s threats might, at some future time, be carried Into execution, the Company took meas ures- to remove so much of Its property aswae convenient,’out of the jurisdiction of this Court before any formal notice of an. application for the appointment ef a receiver. And the said Toomas O. Durant deposes, that he was present at the"'time of the making of the said pretended subscription for 15,000 shares of tbo stock of the Company, That said Flek, Informed deponent that Joslah Baidweii, of Boston, one of the defendants herein, would subscribe for .a large amount of tbo stock of this Company it present; that Bardwell was expected In New York on tbo day that such ' subscription was made; bat had not arrived, and ; that the plaintiff was desirous that said BsrdwoU’s Interest should be protected in hls.absence. That deponent had providod.'for the parposoof making a subscrip tion cn his own pcconnt to said stock, A certified check, drawn by himself, as had also one H. 8. Me- Comb, and us hail also, os deponent now remembers; PHILADELPHIA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1869. oncH. 8. Crane; that (he aggregate of said checks was $275,<00; that the plaintiff volunteered to sub scribe, in his own name, for five thousand shares taking tbesocbecks to be heed as a tender: that such subscription was made for. deponent for said B ird well; McComb te Crane, as deponent understood It. BEd notfoir tbe-plaintiff, each of the parties afore said being interested therein, either In proportion as sneb checks were contributed or as might thereafto> have been argued between this deponent, said Bird well, McComb and Crane, the precise Interest of each not being so.tied. That said checks so used by tbe plaintiff were at ah times practically within tbe control of this deponent; tbat said plalntiff did not contribute any money or In cur any risk whatever, and in the subscription was the mere agentof deponent and of the other parties before mentioned; tbat tho plaintiff, within a few minutes thereafter -holding the other Checks at the' spiclal request of said McComb, and made another subscription of five thousand shares of said stock for ibouee and benefit of nne Tomer, and In his name, snd again tendered to, the , .Treasurer .of said load the same identical checks which had been offered and refused for the first subscrip lion, snd did not offer a different tender than the checks aforesa d; that lmmediatly afterwards finding that said checks wonldnot be received, the plaintiff egsin went through the form of subscribing for 5,000 more shares of stock, and again offered to the Treasu rer tbe said three checks, and no others; making no oi her or dlfferent tender; and while deponent did oot object lo the use of hla check because he koew thst it would not be received by the Treasurer, so tbat deponent did not lend, nor did said Fisk borrow, or ln’end to borrow, any money ffOm deponent, nor «on'd deponent have lent to him the amount of bis »ate checks, or any other large, snots, for any purpose whatever,! without security. And deponent farther says that said checks were thereupon, and within a tew minutes, again offered and tendered to tho Treaa □rcr ol tbe road in payment of still farther subscrip tions by other parties to tha stock of the Company, until, without the payment of any money whatever and witbeuteven going through tbe form of drawing oew checks, subscriptions for about two millions of dollars were nominally made to the stock of the Com pany, on the basis alone of the 8275,000 furnished by deponent and his associates in interest as afore said, all of said pretented enbscii jtloifs being rejected by tbe Company on the same grounds wbuch were insisted npon ss Invalidating said sub scriptions so made by said Fisk for this deponent and nls associates in interest, as aforesaid. Deponent further says, that other large subscrip tions amounting to over $30,000,000 were made at Hont tbe same time, by Messrs. Alley, Dillon, Blair and others, which were in tbe same manner refused ny the Company for the same cause,and the same have never been recognised ss valid. Tbe deponent had, previous to said New York sub scriptions, determined to send an agent to Chicago u> make a subscription there to the stock of the said Company, and said Fisk proposed that deponent would mploy a friend of his for that purpose, which de jonent assented to, gave the necessary 8100 for his ■x pc uses, sent him to Chicago to make a eubacrip lon, and, alter his return, paid him 8500 for his cervices. Tbat while in Chicago, as deponent is Informed and believes, the said messenger made subscription In the name ol Fitk f0r5,000 more shares,and gave a draft for some sum in New York in payment therefor, whioh draft, when it reached the Treasurer of the Com pany, was rejected by him aa not being money within the requirements of the charter of the Company, and for other reasons; and said pretended subscription was wholly invalid rod void, and said Sisk has never paid any sum of money, whatever, on account of the same. By reason whereof, the said Flak, has no stock or interest to said Company to tbe extent of one dollar, save only the six shares before referred to, and hla whole pre tended claim arises from and t of the aforesaid farcical nee of deponent's cheek snd those of his as sociates, based npon which, said Flak now claims to bave a large pecuniary interest to the stock of this Company. Deponent farther says that the pretence of tbe said Flak, tbat be has paid tbe sum of $8,200, or any other, snm whatever for costs and expenses in con nection with said subscriptions which he now faliely alleges to be the can bo of his present persecution of tne Union Pacific Bailroaa Company la, as de ponent believes and charges, wholly untrue; and all ibe deponents before named depose and say that each and every of the material allegations to said original complaint, and to the supplemental com plaints is, and are absolutely false, and withont sub stantial foundation in fact, and the material allega tions contained to the affidavits, based upon which a temporary receiver was appointed by this Court, are to ike manner false, malicious; and absolutely un true. Deponents farther say, that the averments of plaintiff in respect to the connection of the Credit Mobiller of America, with the Pacific Railroad Com pany, and in regard to the profits received, or paid, or agreed to be paid to the Credit Mobiller for the con struction of said road, or any part thereof, are wholly without foundation in point of fact; that the facts arc as follows and not otherwise: The first contract made for the construction of a small portion of the road of the Company, long after it was made, and after much of the work under it was complete, wss assumed by tbe Credit Mobiller of America, which Company agreed to became the agent of tho contractor and to advance the money ne&ssary to enable him to com plete his work for a commission. That tho Credit Mobiller did advance to him a large snm of money, the work was completed, tbe contract prico was paid and the whole connection of tbe Credit Mobllier of America with the Union Pacific Railroad Company was ended (except that there million dol lars (92,000,030), all of which was paid in cash, which was snbseqnenlly increased to three millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($3,750,000). That since its organization, it has paid to its stockholders two dividends of -lx per cent., and no more, and its present assets do not exceed its original capital. That at the time of the commencement of work on the line of said railroad Its. bona fide stockholders were few in num ber. not exceeding In all,some sixty or seventy. That tbp Directors of the Company were, and bave con i inued to be the largest stockholders, and now repre sent over two-thirds of Its whole capital stock, and that when tbe contract was made nndor which the drst two hundred and forty-seven miles of the road was constructed there wits no Eastern railway connection for tho transportation of iron, materials or supplies; the road was to be built through a new country, desti tute of resources for proeecatlng such a work; tho re bellion was in progress; the finances of the country in an unsettled state; iron and materials enormouiiy high; labor dlfilcnlt to obtain, And very grist natural obstacles to be surmounted. That it saon became necessary to call upon tfie Directors for very large cash advances to enablo tbe Company to prosecute the work on tbo road, and frequently such advances mado by tbe Directors and other principal stockholders amounted to millions of dollars in money and credit. 1 hat In tho year 1837. It bocame apparent that unless the principal partleßin Interest in tbe roadwould make farther, and larger' advances tbo work would be seriously retarded, and after full consultation with parties in Interest it waa determined to make a contract for OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. the delivery snd equipment of a large portion of the road, hot inasmuch aa It was supposed that this roDtract.although li gaily made in tbe interest and for the benefit of tho stockholders, might be deemed ohjedrionfibie,unices ratified by the parties interested. It was 'determined that It ahonld receive tbe express sanction of the stockholders of tbe Company, and ihitsuch expresß consent and ratification his be-n obtained; That at tbe time such contract was made itwie believed >0 be esfential for the Interests of the gov eminent of tbe United States and of tbe Company, ibat the toad should be completed without tbensual dt toys incident upon work of this character, and, to Hccotdance with this view, the road has been pushed' ahead without regard to cost or the natural obstacles to bp overcome, and to this liberality alone is tbe fact due that ibe line is now practically flnisbed,at a coat, *8 anticipated. In some caeca of more than doable the original estimate. Tbattbe ssld contracts separately and aa a whole have been wise, prudent and well considered, not only to the interest of the government of the United States, but to that of the bondholders and stock holders cl the Ballroad Company. That in seme cases when tbe government of the United States allowed a subsidy of $82,000 per mile for gliding, superstructure and eqnipment of the road, (tjO. contractor has expended for grading alone over $200,000 per mile. That tty means thereof, and through tire devoted enerey iff the officers, directors and stockholders of too Company (excepting only the plaintiff, to this action, representing stock of the value of 8250), and through and by means of the enormous advances of money and credit (at times of a hazardous character) made by the contractors, under and npon the con tracts. which are now complained of, the said road baa been practically completed. Thattberoid is well and substantially built and well equipped, and is, in both respects, far better than most railroads bnllt daring tbe past ten years within the limits of civilization, while this gigmtlc undertaking has been prosecuted successfully under difficulties never before encountered by any similar nndeitOking in this country. Thatequally good and favorable contracts for tbe Company, keeping to view tborapidlty with which the work b as been prosecuted, could not have been made with any person onteida of the limited number of its own stockholders, and that taking the actual curt of the railroad and its equip ments aa the basis of calculation,with a just allowance with work still bo done by the contractors, the total profits earned, or paid, or agreed to be paid to tbe contractors of every kind, without any allowance being 1 made for tbe extraordinary hazards and risks so peculiar to this undertaking, and which, at times, to its early progress, seemed almost insurmountable are not so great as are commonly and properly paid upon similar contracts to the State of New York, and will not to tbe opinion of deponents who have a full and complete knowledge of all the facts amount to tbe aggregate to 15 per cent upon the actual cost of the work done and contracted to be done under contracts which are now sought to be in validated. Deponent farther says that all tbe allega tions contained in the complaint of one Henry McComb against the Credit Mobller of America, to so far as they conflict with the foregoing statments are erroneous and untrue in fact.

Mr. Hunn moved to consider the Senate bill ex emptingttflrcmen from jnry dnty. hot the House re fused to set aside the regular order of business. Mr. Strang, of Tioga, obtained permission to make a personal statement. An editorial In the Eotmng Telegraph bad gone so far ss to attack him for objecting to the consideration of a bill which provided fountains for the ore of animals In Philadelphia. The writer of the article had recklessly, plunged into a personal as snn't. without reason or jusiitlcatinn. Tboobjection of Mt. Strang had been made because It was uecessarv to coniine the business of the House at that oartlcnlar time to its regular channel,ln order to reach the registry law before adjournment. Toe fountain was bill meri torious, but it would have Its proper time for consider ation, It appeared by the article alluded to that the members were liable to ho assailed by Ignorant or in competent journalists whenever they attempted to beep the Honse within the regular and sys tematic scope of Its duties. This course which bod been pnrened by the Telegraph had made its views a matter «f Indifference to every member, aa they would to every citizen, nud tbe present explana tion bad been offered, not out of any regard to the journal, but that Mr. Strang might not be placed In a false position with tbe gentleman (Mr. Rogers) who urged the fountain bill. It was by offering the par ticular objection complained of that tbe very impor tant registry law had secured attention, and if it had not been taken np that night it Would have failed this session. The Repub.lcan telegraph attacked a Re publican member for urging a party measure. Mr. Rogers (who. had charge of the fonntain blllN expressed surprise at the newspaper article. He and evert oilier member : bad understood the motives of Mr; Strang In objecting to the bill, and he deemed it the duty of the paperln question. If it was managad by a fair-minded man, to make a public correction of Us unjust article. The matter then dropped.

His answer wan: “I-' expect to take bold of it next week, and when I - do, It will be with both hands." We knew what that meant, and so were already prepared for something grand,and looked forward with “great expectations” to the opening of his new house, at 818 nnd 820 Cbestnnt street. Indeed, the interest * taken in this enterprise baa been Some thing wonderful. It was a bold push; far beyond l * onr old lines in the clothing trade. Timid peo ple were in 'donbt; public-spirited men were pleased, nnd called it a great stride in the right: direction. Lovers of good clothes were hope- ■ fni, and many o .one of them who wanted his-- suit weeks ago said: “I’ll wait till Wanamaker gets on Chestnut street.” The newspapers from the beginning had encouraged the idea of -estsh ushing such a business on Chestnut street, know- ’ ing well enough that in the hands of a man Uk© Mr. Wanamaker, it must influence for good then whole trade, and the general mercantile Interests of onr city. ' Yesterday was the day appointed for tho opening of this New Chestnnt Street Establish ment for finest ready-made clothing and fash ionable tailoring. A beautiful and - unique white 1 flag, bearing simply the monogram of tho pro prietor, J. W., had already been thrown to tho breeze, and attracted the attention of oil the street long before tho hoar of opening had ar- ■ rived. Men and boys gathered about the front and rear of the bnlldingß as early as seven o’clock. - peering through the windows and half-opened doors to catch a glimpse of what was withhk ? And when at length the doors were let down, ilk rushed an eager throng that soon filled the im—■ mense house and mode it as basy as a fair; and*' bnzzing like a bee-hive. ■■■"' ’ -' ! We visited the place twico in the course' of the' ■* day, once in the early morning and again late Ur** the afternoon,and found the crowd nnalminlfthecH and the enthusiasm running higher and higher. * Mr. Wanamaker himself was In high spirits; ami ' though from the inception of this undertaking her* was the mostconildent of ita success, still be WM" hardly prepared for such an ovation os hlsfrlonds*- and the public In general delighted to give him. His good natnro was contagious, and every Oner'* who looked at him, to say nothing of shaking * hands with him. smUed with complacent satis— ' faction. One tning ho certainly has succeeded In '* doing—and that is, in surrounding himself with*/ men whose nnited strength, under such guidance * as be can give it, would insure the success of an enterprise ten times the size of this. ■ ' *■> Among this corps oi workers we found such * men os Mr.Jobu W.Rodgots,formerly with Rocfc- v bill & Wilson; Mr. Forbes, from Arrlson’e; Messrs.- > Bernard, Ayres, Andrlot and Zackey os cotters, > uud pleasant Mr. Bnghes,from Kelly’s, basy in * tbo custom department with many frlendA and ; cuslomers. We recognized also Captain Bagns* formerly with Caldwell, and were glad to see him ' again on Chestnut street. Mr. Samuel Wana msker, the brother of: tho proprietbr, on whom devolves the general superintendence of the house, was everywhere greeting old friends and making all new comers feel at home. Fonr or five* pleasant and efficient ladles were in the boys’ ; department,supplementing the corps of Salesmen,- ready to serve ladles who prefer to purchase clothing for their bqyß from members of thoir own ecx. There was not a man about the place who did not impress you as being a gentleman, and snch as gentlemen will delight to transact bnai ness with. The buildings we need not describe, as, almost 1 every body has been or is going to see them. They me bo transformed that they can hardly be recog nised hy those who were most familiar with Bonier, Colladay & Co.’e. Carpeted from front to' rear, freshly painted and handsomely furnished, and, above alii adorned with a rich display of beautiful goods, the salesrooms, the cottar a rooms, the "Dome," and the large, and elegantly- ■ tpnolnted room for the Boys, and the whole establishment, Indeed, showed evidently enough 1 that somebody had been at It “with both hands. So much for the house and so much for the men < who are to run it; but when we come to speak or the stock that fills the house and busies the men selling and making It np, we find we have not« that familiarity with the clothing trade and that command of the names of textures, &e., j| whlch wonld enable ns to do this stock Justice. < Wo can - only say in general terms that it Is Immense aad_i varied and beautiful and now, both .InStylesand< ' materials.
