Sale of the Road Was Tame, Irat Its History Is of Much Greater Interest Unprecedented Profits in Con struction—Oakes Ames and Credit Mobilier. O A A, Neb., Nov. 2.—The Unio Pacific proper, including the buildings and all that goes to operate the system, as sold to the reorganization commit tee for the sum of $53.528,522.76. The amount does not include the sinking fund in the hands of the government, and taking this to be $4,036,100, the amount stated in the government decree covering the sale of the road, the total paid for the property was $57,564,932.76. There were no other bidders and the road to the reorganization com mittee without any opposition. The sale of the road was in itself one of the most tame and uninteresting per formances possible to imagine. RECORD BREAKER FOR PROFIT Fabulous Sums Made Out of the Building of tbe Union Pacific. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 2.—The idea of uniting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by a system of railways is said to have been first given public expression in The Emigrant, a weekly paper pub lished at An Arbor, Mich., from Nov. 18, 1829, to Dec. 1, 1834. The article advocating the railway appeared, on Feb. 6, 1832, and it as eagerly taken up and discussed by various newspapers and periodicals. Asa Whitney, a mer chant of N York, had traveled in Europe, China and Japan consider ably, was most prominent in urging the project. The aim and object of his life was the building of a railway from Lake Michigan or the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. first brought the project to the attention of congress in a memorial presented by him to the senate and to the lower house on Jan. 28, 1845. Whitne spent much time and all of his money in furthering his schemes, and wound up by selling milk in the City of Washingto for a liveli hood. A bill that passed the Unite States senate June 20, 1862, by a vote of 25 to 5 as the actual starting of the Unio Pacific. The house passed tHe bill by a vote of 104 to 21, and four days later President Lincoln made it a law by affixing his signature. A charter of $100,000,000 was given the corporation and a land grand of 20,000,000 acres attached. Incorporated Jul 2, 1863. The company was formally chartered July 2, 1862, it authority to construct a railway from Omaha to the eastern boundary of the State of California. The act incorporating the company pro vided for a government subsidy equal to $i6,000 per mile for that portion of the line between the Missouri river and the base of the Rocky mountains $48, 000 per mile for a distance of 150 miles through the mountain range $32,000 per mile for the distance intermediate between the Rocky and Sierra Nevad a ranges, and $48,000 per mile for a dis tance of 150 miles through the Sierra Nevada. Th company had also a land grant equaling 12,800 acres to the mile. The original act provided that the government subsidy should be a first mortgage on the road, but, by amend ment, it as made a second mortgage, the company being authorized to issue its bonds to an amount equal to the government as a first mortgage on the line. The whole available capital of the road that was ultimately to cost $50,000,000 was only $218,000. Organised the Credit Mobilier. Th government had offered in subsi dies more than the cost of the construc tion of the road, and Oakes Ame of Easton, Mass., as interested in the building of the road, formed a cor poration which became as "the Credit Mobilierof America," which as to receive all the profits of the con structors and divide them among the stockholders in the Credit Mobilier. Tbe profits were enormous, amounting to $43,929,328. Unde the Ame con tract alone a within one year divi dends were paid amounting to 545 per cent on the capital stock. The matter as investigated by congress and the expulsion of Ame from the house of representatives of which he as then a member, as recommended. It was however, never carried out. The first eleven miles of the1 road were completed Sept. 25, 1865, and the road as completed to its junction it the Central Pacific at Promotory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869. The meeting of the roads as duly celebrated. Governor Leland Stanford of California and president of the Central Pacific, as present, as was Vice President Durant, of the Unio Pacific. Ties were laid for the rails and they met the last spike was driven. Tele graph wires were connected so that each blow of the descending sledge as reported instantly in all the large cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific. .'„ "•f^nSb*^ i. The Last Spike Driven. "'r*''" The last spike was of gold and was driven home into a tie from California, it a silver sledge wielded alternately by Governor Stanford and Mr. Durant. Cerebrations in honor of the completion of the road were held in most of the large cities of the union S Th road as operated by its officers until Oct. 13, 1S93, it passed into the hands of receivers. It had been in their control but a over four years it will be bought iu,by the reorganization committee.- Dor- 'W A STEAMSHIP CORNER. m, All Boom for Cattle on Ocean Xinors Has Been Engaged lor a Tear.

All Parties, With the Exception of the Jeffersonians, Claim Sure Victory. Result of the Legislative Election in Ohio Considerably in Donbt N E W O Nov. 2.—A battle royal for the political control of the second largest city municipality in the world is in progress. The potent candi dates for the office of Jk xyor are four in number, although there are addi tional candidates for the people's suf frages. Benjami F. Tracy, secretary of the navy in the cabinet of President Harrison, is the Republican nominee Robert A. an Wyck chief judge of the city court, Tamman Democratic candidate Seth Low, president of Col umbia university, and twice mayor of Brooklyn, the candidate of the Citizens' Union, and Henry George, son of the laTe advocate of the single tax theory, the Independent, or Thoma Jefferson Democratic nominee. Besides the mayor, comptroller and president of the council, the officers of the municipality that are to be chosen, there are to be elected members of the state assembly, county officials, borough officers and members of the "judiciary. In addition there is to be elected a suc cessor to Francis H. Wilson, re signed his seat as representative in con gress of the district to become postmas ter in Brooklyn. The nominees are William H. Pren dergast, Republican Edmun H. Driggs, Democrat, and Horatio C. Lang, Independent Democrat. In the state there will be an election for ehief judge of the court of appeals, the leading candidates being Willia J. Wallace, Republican, and Alton B. Parker, Democrat. The Last Estimates. Th last estimates and claims of the various parties in the Greater N York campaign have been given out. Chairman Quigg, for the Republicans saps the county committee confidently expects the election of General Tracy and feels absolutely confident that Set Lo will not carry a single assembly district in the present city of N York. According to Mr. Quigg the ratio of votes as between and Tracy will be to 1 and he expects to poll a total of 200,000 votes. Ex-Mayor Grant, is Judge Va Wyck' manager, issued a state ment in which he estimated the Demo cratic candidates's vote in Greater N York, at 240,000. Of these he expects 148,000 in the present city of N York, 84,500 in Brooklyn, and 8,375 in the boroughs of Queens and Richmond. Mr. Grant in his forecast places the George vote at from 20,000 to 25,000 and gives Tracy and Lo 225,300 to divide between them. Charles Steckler, for the Citizens' Union, claims a plurality of 27,000 for over an W in the present city of N York. In sup port he gives figures from assembly dis tricts which he said are based upon actual canvasses made by Citizens' Unio workers. He added that certi ficates and vouchers, signed in all,cases by the made the canvass, are on file at headquarters. A the George headquarters a detailed state ment by assembly districts as given out to show that George will have 97, 000 votes in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. N estimate was made of the Brooklyn vote but unless an ex tremely large George vote is expected from that quarter it would appear from the 97,000 estimate that the Jeffersonian Democracy leaders do not claim the election of their candidate. IN HANNA'S BAILIWICK. Leg-lslatlTe Ticket Satd to Be Consider ably to Doubt. CINCINNATI, O N O 2.—Usually the speaking campaign closes in this state on Saturday night preceding election. There were this year, however, meetings Monday night in a of the counties. Th contest in Ohio for members of the legislature is conceded to be in doubt. Th efforts of both the Republicans and also of the Democrats on the last day for the legislative tickets indicated that the battle of ballots as centered on candidates for the legislature, though the state tickets were by no means lost sight of or in a manner ignored. Conservative Democrats say they have no such chances for the election of their state ticket as for the legisla tive tickets. The more sanguine Dem ocrats expect a tidal wave that a carry their state tickets as well as secure Democratic majority in the legislature but it is evident that the Democratic managers are expecting more for their legislative than for their state ticket. This is especially true of the situation in Cincinnati. Th Republicans say their state ticket will be elected by a -large plurality and that the legislature is the only thing in donbt. The Re publicans claim they will have a ma jority in the legislature without Ham ilton county and they are claiming they will elect the 14 members of the legislature from this county-by reduced majorities. The Democrats claim they Will carry Hamilton county by from 10,000 to 12,000 plurality. -. football Flayer Head/"* ~"t'" ATLANTA., Ga., Nov 2.—Von Gam mon, one of the players oh the Univer sity-of .Georgia football team, died dur in the morning from in juries received in a game between that team and the team from the University of Virginia in this city Saturday afternoon^ V-5*X4M5£ SWctol :WJ} W 3 ,l- gP" Miss Hattie King, of 94 Humboldt Street, Ithaca, N.

We purehased some at the drug store of White & Burdick, of this city. "Hattie began to take the pills in the early.part of January of this year. Im- rovement was noticeable after the first box been taken. The first hopeful sign .that I noticed was that she did not complain of headache. The attacks of dizziness also be gan to abate in frequency, and she ceased to cough. One after another, the distressing symptoms left her. She took, in all, nine boxes of the pills.
