Samuel Park being duly sworn says that he is the ill I i tl in the above en If l. rt But en if these people were willing to pay fancy for the stock the Gates crowd demand and must get to get out with glory, still they are not willing to precipitate on themselves a struggle with various state governments, similar to the Xorthern Securities struggle with Minnesota and Washington. So it can be set down that the Southern Railway system will not take the Louisville and Nashville off the Gates hands at present. True, the men who own the Southern Railway stock might be buyers of the Gates. Louisville and Nashville stock, but they are not disposed to pay any fancy price.

Neither is Illinois Central nor Rock Island, both of which have been talked of as possible buj ers. At. present it looks as if the Gates crowd must hold their purchases. The property is a good property and in good condition, but the financiers cannot see that it is worth 160. or even 135.

What may be the final disposition is a matter no one may even now guess, and although the Belmonts have lost control, they can regain it by paying the fancy prices. The sudden rise and large buying of Southern is attributable to.orders from Mr. Morgan by cable to protect that stock and that started the buying. On good authority it is stated that the present holding control of the Southern has' been amply protected and it is hinted that the Gates crowd got Into the buying with an idea it could do something in Southern, but that will find it Is against a stone fence before the closing hours. cowen was not at all abashed to day when asked to explain.

Less than a week ago Mr. Buck broached the subject of resigning to one of his most intimate who is a well known engineer. Mr. Buck told this man that he would resign without any hesitancy, but he felt he owed a duty to the city to remain in his present position until the Wiliianisburgh bridge is completed. Mr.

Buck was advised by his friends that his only course was to remain. Acting on this advice Mr. Buck has informed Mr. Lindenthal that he will not resign. Mr.

Liiulenthal's letter in the Eagle last night occasioned considerable comment in engineering circles to day. Among certain well known engineers Interviewed by an Eagle reporter on the points on which Mr. Lindenthal laid stress, the sentiment was unanimous that the Bridge Commissioner had overstepped the bounds of propriety in attacking certain members of his engineering staff as he did. "Mr. Buck against whom a direct, imputation Is cast by the Bridge Commissioner." said one prominent engineer, "has been done grave injustice.

They assert upon information and belief that Mrs Flagler made endeavors to find them and to provide for them and recite that Mrs Flae ler's estate Is worth $2,373,137.42 and' yields an income of considerably over $100,000 while the cost of her maintenance aud other penses is not more than $35,000, so they ask for an allowance of $1,500 a year each out of her estate. The petition further recites that Mrs Flau ler's other next of kin. her brothers Charles F.

Shourds and Stephen" E. Shourds, and I her sister. Mattie A. John ion. have each hi allowed $4,000 a year, and the counsel for ibe beggars in the city who are daily extorting in his office will so much as admit it Mr.

Hanan has begun suit, nor will either member of the firm of Comstock Gardner, counsel for the respondent. An Eagle representative had proof ot this effort to maintain secrecy through attempts to interview the lawyers in question. The distaste of the clerk of the appellate division of Washington County to give out Information in advance of the hearing makes it difficult to learn the grounds on which Mr. Hanan bases his petition. It is understood "ne has been spending the year of residence requlied by the statute at Narragansett Pier, and the name of a young woman of that watering place has been mentioned prominently In connection with the case.

From another source than the counsel it is learned that extreme cruelty is the money ny posing as narci luck sailors. It. is said that they have purchased tho sailors' uniforms from second hand cloihlng stores, or from jackies who hnve deserted from the navy, for tt small price. A stronger appeal can be made to the generous public by a sailor in distress than by any other class of beggars. There is a degree of sentiment, about it, and the majority FOUR NEW SMALLPOX CASES.
