The receivers decided that the only wise course to pursue was to practically re build and re-cqulp the railway. The physical condition was bad; its equip ment antiquated. and Inadequate to han dle the business properly, which was a serious injury to the revenues.

K*--i\ York Central Acquires Import ant Properties. s NEW YORK, June 30.— following [ statement was given out by President Callaway, of the New York Central rail road, this afternoon: "At a meeting of the board of directors of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company, held today, the lease of the Boston & Albany Railroad < ompany to the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad company for a period of 999 years was unanimously passed, and President Callaway has been notified that similar action has been taken by the Boston & Albany Railroad company. Supplementary to the foregoing an offi cial assertion was also made that the terms of this 999-year lease provided for a guarantee by the New York Central of 8 per cent annual dividends on the $2.">, --000,000 of capital stock of the Boston & New Albany. _ This merger Is the most Important rail road event of recent years. The scheme was planned and carried out by William K. Vanderbilt so quietly that less than half a dozen persons connected with the j New York Central system knew any [ thing about it until it was made public. J. Pierpont Morgan and H. McK. Twom bley were associated with Mr. Vanderbilt In arranging the details of the transac tion. One of the most Interesting features of the meeting today was the presence of C. A. Cassatt, president of the Penn sylvania railroad, and Vice President Provost, of the same system. The rela tions between the New York Central and Pennsylvania managements have been very friendly In recent years, and as evidence of their desire to maintain these relations the New York Central people Invited President Cassatt to attend to day's meeting and satisfy himself as to the character and purpose of the Boston & Albany merger. Such directors as were present at the meeting today were In perfect accord with Mr. Vanderbllfs views. ' W. K. Vanderbilt, J. Pierpont Morgan and H. McK. Twombly were the influential fac- Lrfii . % A^-t^A a V— s tors in the meeting. The other directors present were President Callaway,. E. V. W. Soslter, C. C. Clarke and H. J. Hay den. !>'»/*'.-: Assurances were given- to President Cassatt that the New York Central, In obtaining control of the Boston & Al bany, had no Intention of assuming an aggressive attitude toward the Pennsyl vania road. He declined^ however, to say anything regarding the' subject un der discussion. The New York Central officers were equally reticent on this point, but, in a general way, they de clared there would be no break in the friendly relations existing between" the Vanderbilt and the Pensylvanla people, and that there was no expectation that there would be any friction in that quar ter. President Callaway said that the Bos ton & Albany lease, as approved by the respective boards of directors, however, would have to go to the stockholders for ratification, and meetings of the Njijft York Central and Boston & Albany stock' holders are to be cailed without delay. ACTION AT BOSTON. Net Dividend of a Little Over Eight Per Cent Is Secured. BOSTON, June 30.— Simultaneously with the meeting of the New York Central di rectors In New York, the Boston & Al bany directors came together in this city, although President Bliss was absent at tending the New York meeting. After a spirited debate the meeting passed the resolution renewing the lease, with the proviso, however, than an 8 per cent divi dend, payable quarterly, shall be guaran teed by the New York Central road, and also that $4,000,000 in money or property shall be reserved by the Boston & Albany ad. This sum consists of the trust im provement fund of the road, and other funds which have been laid by for im provement!* and expenses. If the road is turned over to the New York Central it will not be necessary to use these funds for the purpose for which they were In corporated. This sum of $4,000,000, in vested at the current rates of interest, would mean a return of at least one-half of one per cent additional to the stock holders, so that the proposition, stated broadly, Is that the stockholders of the Boston & Albany will derive net divi dends of B^> per cent on their lease. Of course this provision may be affected by various after considerations. In the first case it must be remembered that the proposition is to be voted on by the stockholders, who meet In annual session on Sept. 17. Then It must be aproved by the legislature. If all these bodies are favorable, July 1, 1900, will find the new tenants In control. PACIFIC SHORT LINE. Formal Transfer Will Be Made To- day. OMAHA, Neb., June 30.—The transfer of the Pacific Short line, the old Sioux City, O'Neill & Western railroad will occur tomorrow. The name of the new road will be the Sioux City & Western. It consists of 125 miles, and runs fiom Sioux City to O'Neill. Donald McLean, who died recently, was the originator of the line. It was bid in by John L. Webster, of this city at Sioux City recently for $1,750,060. Nearly $5,000, --000 of stock has been sold, William S. Todd and Robert E. Todd, of New York, taking $2,500,000. Mr. Webster .is the only Nebraskan interested as a stockholder. There was a meeting of the stockhold ers in Mr. Webster's office today at which seven directors were . elected. Among them James J. Hill, Col. W. P. Clough, president and vice president respectively of the Great Northern; Louis W. Hill, as sistant to President Hill; D. W. Miller, second vice president, and Edward Sawyer, treasurer and assistant secretary were those mentioned. These names in» dleate that the road will become a part of the Great Northern system. When asked if the road would be extended, Mr, Webster said: "I am at a loss to say, because the ob ject of today's meeting was simply to perfect an organization. Officers will be elected later." Of the directors elected today Mr. Clough was the most prominent among those present. He left tonight for Sioux City. MATCH TRUST PLANS. Edwin Gould Will Be Placated and Made a Director. CHICAGO, June Formal notice will be sent tomorrow to the stockholders of the Diamond Match company, of a meet ing to be held July 31, at which they will be asked to authorize an Increase of the capital stocks of the company by $4,000, --000. At present the authorized and out standing Issue is $11,000,000. The object is primarily to terminate the cut-throat competition which has been impairing the profits for several years. This will be ac complished by securing control of or mak ing terms with some of the outside match factories which have been troublesome. Chief among them Is the Continental plant, of Edwin Gould. Mr. Gould has lately acquired large holdings of Diamond Match stock, and with the shares of the new issue, which he will obtain, he will become one of the largest holders of Dia mond securities. To provide for this the stockholders will elect two additional men, making the board consist of seven Instead of five members. Who the seventh member will be has not been fully decid ed. The new stock will be offered to pres ent holders at the ratio of 1 to 4 at par, and the rest will be placed at the dis posal of the directors, for the benefit of the company. The money thus obtained will be used to discharge the floating in debtedness of the company, and to en large and extend its American business. The floating debt referred to is supposed to represent money spent in bringing about peace with the outside plants. LAVINIA OR NO ONE. King George, of Tonga Islands, Weds Maid of His Choice.

When the combatants were separated Signor Sonnino persuaded the president to re sume the proceedings, if only, as he put it, "to offer incontestible proofs of So cialist violence."

NEW YORK, June Charles M. Murphy, of the Kings County Wheelmen, rode a mile on a bicycle paced by a loco motive In 57 1-5 seconds today. His course was a two-mile board track, on a siding of the Long Island railroad. Murphy fol lowed an engine and a day coach, the latter being provided with a hood which acted as a wind shield for the rider. The board track was laid near Long Island, and extended from that sta tion two miles east, and was as nearly perfect to a level as skill could make it. Fully 8,000 people saw Murphy make his daring ride. Engineer Sam Booth had his hands on the throttle of engine 74 when the word was given to start, ten minutes past 5. The engine started at a rapid rate and before 400 yards had been traversed was running at a rate of more than fifty miles an hour. ■ Murphy was keeping well within the hood. As they neared the beginning ofthe mile stretch the pace was a mile a min ute, and a cloud of dust obscured the rider from the view of the spectators, who lined the banks on either side. En tering on the space which would test his speed. Murphy, in reply to a query shout ed, "I'm all right, send her along," but there was no necessity for his remarks regarding speed, as the engineer was sending the big steam flyer along at top speed. The quarter was reached in 15 seconds and the half in 29 2-5. The timers for the three-quarters were Meters. Bieges and Stoll, the former registering 44 and the latter 43 4-5. At the finish two of the watches showed 57 4-5, one 57 3-5, another 58 and the fifth 57%, which was held by Sheriff Creamer. The timers agreed that Murphy had covered the distance in- 57 4-8 seconds. MURPHY'S GREAT PERIL. Those on the back platform who watch ed Murphy all through his wonderful ride, stated that the rider's handle bar had knocked against the rubber buffer at least six times, and each time the con» cussion sent him back fully six feet, but Murphy always had strength enough to regain this distance. During tho last quarter of a mile the rider covered the ground for the greater part fully a wheel's length outside of the hood, but as he passed the finish he was close up. Just then two strong men on board the train reached down and seized the rider by either arm and lifted him aboard the car in safety. Their action undoubtedly saved Murphy's life because he was then in such a weak condition that had he been allowed to remain on the wheel he would have been unable to control It, and a serious, If not fatal accident might have happened. Murphy was carried to the front part of the car and laid on a cot, where a physician administered to him, and in less than five minutes the cyclist was able to converse with those around him. Murphy seemed dazed at first, and said In answer to queriss as to why he fell back so many times: ' I did that so that I might not come In contact with the planks which were be ing torn in front of me." Later on however, he did not refer to this, but said continually: • "Boys, I've always felt that I could do this. Now that I have done it I am tatisfied and so are many others." Before the train had reached Babylon, Murphy had regained his normal condi tion. Murphy rode a 28-inch wheel, geared to 120, 6% crank hangers, and the weight of the machine was 20% pounds* ALASKAN SURVEY. Capt. Glenn Starts an Expedition to Knik Station. WASHINGTON, June 80.-Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn has received a report from Capt. Edwin F. Glenn, Twenty-fifth Infantry, commanding the Cook Inlet expedition, dated Tyionok, Alaska, June 5, 1899, in which he states that on June 4 he started a detachment, consisting of seven men, to Knik station, properly supplied and equipped with ra tions to Oct. 21 next. The Instructions de livered to the men were to proceed to Eagle City by the Valley of the Madan uska river. They were to proceed through such passes of the Alaskan range of mountains as might prove most prac ticable, and In case none was found west of Meiklejohn pass they were to go through It. This pass, Capt. Glenn thinks, can be easily reached by the trail follow ed by himself during the season of 1898. MEIER MURDERERS. Three Suspects Are Under Arrest at Altamont, X. Y.

V., June President Dowe in his annual address to the Com. mercial Travelers' association In con vention here today dwelt on the effect of trusts upon commercial travelers and what the commercial travelers should do under the circumstances. He declared that he had obtained from the best possi ble and most reliable sources that 3,000 commercial travelers had been thrown out of work through trusts and that £ .001 more had had their salaries reduced. One In every ten was affected. In conclusion President Dowe said: "As to action aganlst trusts, I would not advise positive and over-aggressive action. We would simply get whipped In a hazardous fight. It would be to our Interest to see that every one of the political organizations deserved our ap proval. I have thought that a monster non-partisan organization might be formed to fight trusts regardless of poll tics. We are undoubtedly confronted by a demoralized and un-American situa tion." The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, P. E. Dowe, New York; first vice president, H. V. S. Snyder, Patterson, N. J.; second vice president, N. R. Bond, Albany; third vice president, George C. Kirk, Stam ford, Conn.; secretary, Alfred N. O'Con nor, New York; treasurer, E. Andrews, Philadelphia. :'i\ • v. TWIN CITIES THERE.

Dreyfus landed last evening from the ' cruiser Sfax, Capt. Cofflnleres de Nordeck, at L'Orient, and immediately proceeded for Rennes. As the telegraph offices are closed It Is impossible to verify this report. It is also said the government had advices from the Azores, when the Sfax passed Fayal, that the health of Dreyfus was precarious.. This explains, in some respects, the anxiety to prevent the public from seeing him. The Parisian public Is rather listless about his arrival, and there Is no excite ment at Rennes, where torrents of rain are falling, although the railway sta tion there is full of reporters, ■ "altlng the coming of the famous p NO SIGN OF DREYFU BREST, June 30.—A "'dlsp'p Rennes says, the police .are positions around the railr'- there, and that everything 1,.

Tho latest report is that the authorities had arranged a secret landing at the little village of Moulin Blanc, about four miles from Brest, but the vigilance of the newspaper men led to a change In the arrangements, and Dreyfus was disembarked at Quibooon, •in Brittany, near L'Orient, where the telegraph office closes at 9 p. m, thus rendering It impossible to telegraph to Rennes the fact of his arrival.
