The Formal Iraosfer Took Place Here This Morning.

Also Be Retained.

As announced yesterday in the

Dra.

4.—Mme.

Januaschek was able to appear but two nights after her departure from here a week ago and has been compelled to oancel all her engagements and return jbere to recruit her health.

ZETTE it would be, a meeting was held here this morning in the office of Prest. W. B. MoKeen. The formal transfer of the stock held by Prest. W. B. McKeen also that owned by Messrs. James and Henry Boss, Miss Alice Warren, Jno. B. Hager and several others whose certificates have been in the possession of Prest. McKeen, was transferred on the books to the Ives— Stay nor syndicate which came into possession of the 0. H. & D. about a year ago, and with unlimited means is cutting a wide swathe in the financial meadow. The money in certified checks on New York banks was. then paid down and the deal was closed,"

How large was the amount? Don't ask anything so bard as that. The exact amount of the stock, whioh rumor puts at about $600,000, cannot, at least it has not yet, been made known. And the price? That also is just now a postr. Some insist that it was $1.25, others $1.40 and still others $2.40 and one more states it at $3. President McKeen paid $1.50 for the greater portion of it.

The market price for some time on small amounts, whioh are always less valuable than large blocks, has been $1.10@$.15. These are about the figures at whjph purchases could have been made.

THE NEW DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. As soon as they had possession of the stook the new owrers accepted the xesignations of the old members of the Board of Directors and also the old officers and immediately eleoted new directors as follows:

Wm. B. McKeen, Terre Haute.Henry S. Ives, New York. Christopher Meyer, New York. C. C. Waite, Cincinnati. ,•« F. H. Short, Cincinnati. Wm. M. Bamsey, Cincinnati Joseph us Collett, Terre Haute. The Board lost no time in electing officers, which was done as follows:

President—Henry S. Ives. 'f-y. Vice-President and General Manager —O, C. Waite*

Secretary and Treasurer—J. W. Craft Assistant Secretary—Georg'e E. Farrington.

It will be seen that Messrs. Craft and Farrington, who were respectively Treasurer and Secretary under the old regime, are made assistants under the new order of things.

HOW ABOUT THE OTHEFT HEADS? Will they all drop into the basket? No. Mr. Ives and Mr. Bookwell both positively state that they will all bfe retained as at present and in the same quarters. The question of salaries has not yet been determined, but they will remain about the same as now.

Messrs. Craft and Farrington are the only officers elected by the Board and hence their names are the only ones given above, but all the other officers will be retained in .their present positions. -,*v

"THE SHOPS.

No change will be made in the shops unless it be to enlarge them. After getting possession of the stock the new owners made a tour of the Vandalia ShopS. -s

THE PERSONNEL OF THK BUYERS. The C. H. & D. officials came over in what DaVy Harris, of President MoKeen's car, says is a very handsomely fitted car. The party includes Henry S. Ives, C. C. Waite, C. H. Rockwell, ^m. Proctor, of the firm of Proctor & Gamble, Judge Ramsey, and F. H. Short Treasurer.

Mr. Ives is a small and youthful looking man. He is about five feet five, is of slender build, wears glasses, has dark hair and eyes |and is. said to be only- 25 years of age He is at the head of of a quite powerful syndicate and said to be %very woalthy man himselt.

The announcement that the general offices will not be made vacant at once will be good news to the public. Vandalia men hr) extremely popular here and the fear that they would have to seek employment elsewhere, leaving the city where they all have so many friends, gave everybody the blues.

RETROSPECTIVE.

President McKeen, who retires from active railroad life, commenced with the Vandalia just twenty years ago this mouth. He shouldered a great load with exceptional nerve, palled the whole thing through the worst panicky times,and after making a splendid record fpr himself has unloaded on younger men. He has been a wise, fair and a liberal manager. The dividends have always been large and been promptly paid. His more than a thousand employes

entertain

for him the greatest respect and affec.

tion and part from him with the sinoerest regrets. The officers of the road have nearly all been engaged on it for long terms of years.

Mr. Charles R. Peddle, Purchasing Agent, for instanoe, has been with the company for 35 years and outranks all the other. Mr. Will Craft comes next with a record of 24 years service. Then there is George Farrington, who has been with the Vandalia almost continuously since he left Kenyon College, Horace W. Hibbard, the General Freight Agent, whose service dates Hack to the palezoic age. The thought of all these men, RS well as Messrs. Williams, Roney, Kendall, Crawford and others and their assistants seeking their fortunes elsewhere, was enough to depress everybody.

Messrs. Ives, Staynor, Waite and Rookwell left for Cincinnati on. Vandalia train No. 8 at 2:32 this afternoon.

MR. MGKEEM'B WITHDRAWAL*

Indianapolis Journal: It will be some time before Indiana people become accustomed, or, it may be said, reconciled to the fact of the withdrawal of Mr. W. R. McKeen from the control of the Vandalia railroad. Under his» man agement the road has been pre-eminent-ly an Indiana institution, and a oause of local pride, and the two are so closely associated in pablio mind and regard that a separation seems in the nature of misfortune to the community. Regrets are being expressed in many quarters over Mr. McKeen's determination to retire from tne enterprise with which he has so long been identified, and which he has made a remarkable success. -7

Messra Stevens and Porter, and members of the Indiana coal road syndicate, will pass through the city on Monday on a special train,' en route for Evansville where they will negotiate with President Mackey, of the E. & T.

finding out. Tbey have a way, for instance, of denying the letter of a statement while the spirit thereof may be true. This is generally known, and when, therefore, the representatives of the big syndicate whioh has been buying up railroads right and left deny that they have bought the Vandalia railroad for $1,400,000, an observant public concludes that the sale has been consummated but that the figure or some detail stated is not exactly oorrect.

Except that the amount paid for a controlling interest in the road was not $1,400,000 for $1,000,000 of stock there seems to be no reason to doubt that the Ives-Stayner syndicate, which means the_preeent owners or controllers of the C. H. & D., ana the Baltimore & Ohio, now control the destiny of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis with all the lines it leases. The amount of the consideration is unknown, but it can be asserted with confidence that the price heretofore named is not accurate. When Messrs. Ives and Waite passed through hie city last night en route from Terre aute where the negotiations with Mr McKeen were conducted, they said that the transfer had not been concluded: that the deal was not "off," but that al that might be said wbuld be merely speculation. There was no oonoealment of the purpose of the syndicate to secure the Vandalia even against the opposition of the Pennsylvania, and the probabilities are that the conclusion of negotiations depend upon minor details entirely within the control of the purchasers, It is even claimed that the C. H. & D., has been promised possession on Saturday next, but this is speculative. It is certain, however, th the directors of the C. H. & D., will meet at an early day—probably on Saturday and the transfer may speedily follow that meeting.

It can be asserted with confidence that the negotiations for the sale of the Vandalia have been carried on without the consent, and, for the most part, without the knowledge of the Pennsylvania people. And thereby hang a tale. Riley McKeen, president of the Vandalia, has a mind of his own, and has been wont to exercise it. He has certain pet notions that he thinks worth following, and he has operated the Vandalia railroad in the earlier years to suit his own sweet pleasure. He made a splendid property out of it by following his own views as to how it should be run. One of his favorite notions was that the Vandalia should continue to develop the Indiana coal interests and should supply the greater part of the fuel for l'eire Haute, Indianapolis and other cities in the Wabash valley. This policy was followed with success, as everybody knows, and the Vandalia still has the reputation of being the great blook coal line. Recently, however, the Pennsylvania people have seemingly neglected this interest and have, with infinite expense and pains, diverted much of the coal trade through more advantageous rates to the Viucennes division. The fields on that line have been developed, it ,is claimed at the expense of the Vandalia's trade. This warmed Mr, McKeen under the collar not a little, and itisolaimed by those who ought to know that he has protested against this policy. He has found cause for complaint also in that the Pennsylvania has forced the boycott of western passenger lines upon the road, and now his agents are permitted to sell tickets only to St. bonis, thus driving through passengers to other litres. In short, it is claimed that the Pennsylvania has ignored Mr. McKeen, and has so thoroughly Pennsylvanianized the Vandalia that its president was made to appear as a supernumerary. To assert himself Mr. McKeen welcomed t^e opportunity for independent action, and the Pennsylvania was only given hint of the C. H. & D., deal after terms had been partially agreed on. It is not claimed that the Pennsylvania will be thrown off the road, but it will be second fiddle to the

purchasers, unless it controls a pull-back string. THE CAUSE OF THE SALE

Indianapolis Journal:—There were no developments of a definite character, yesterday, relating to the rumored sale of the Vandalia line to the Ives-Stay-nor syndicate and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Company. It is reported, upon reliable authority, however, that the Announcement in a Cincinnati paper that the sale had been consumated is not true, although it is quite certain that the property will within a few days pass into the possession of the proposed purchasers. The fact that President McKeen has telegraphed to George E. Farrington sec now health, to return at onue, confirms the belief that the road is about to be sold. In fact, it is stated that had it not been for his absence the sale would have been consummated on Wednesday.

retary of the company, who is in Colorado for the benefit of his

It is.pretty well understood among Mr. McK#en's friends that he has not been satisfied with his relations with the Pennsylvania Company for some time. It is asserted tbat he has been greatly displeased with the company's course in developing the copl-fields on the Viucennes division of the system at the expense of the Vandalia, which was built originally as a ooal road, and.owes much of its sucoeee to that olass of business. He was also greatly exasperated over the boycott of Western passenger lines, which drove a great deal of business from his road. In return Mr. McKeen is now disposed to give the Pennsylvania people a very strong reminder of the faot that he, too. oan be a little independent, and the negotiations for the sale of the road have been conducted with barely an intimation to the Pennsylvania company of what Qwas likely to happen.

Aside from all this, however, Mr. MoKeen, it is understood, has other good reasons for spelling the Vandalia, some of which are wholly personal. The new competition in the coal traffic is likely to affedt the Vandalia's business in time, and there is now a probability that Indianapolis, one of the largest consumers of blook ooal, will soon have natural gas for fuel. One of his warmest friends states that Mr. MoKeen would have sold the controlling interest two years ago but for his friendly feeling toward Terre Haute, th^ business interests of which he feared might suffer somewhat should he dispose of his stock. The citizens tf Terre Haute are disturbed, because the prospective change may take the shops of Che T. H. & I. from that city. But the interests of Mr. McKeen in that city are so large that it is believed he will insist that the «hops «hall remain there indefinitely. 'Y SOME NEW POINTS.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of today has the following: The subject of conversation yesterday in railroad circles was the purchase of a controlling interest in the T. H. & I. road by the C. H. & D. people. As stated in yesterday's Enquirer, the first payment w&s made at Terre Haute Wednesday, and yesterday a oertified check was given in this city for the balance of the purchase money.

It was said here yesterday that the Pennsylvania people owned 50 per cent of the stook of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Road, and that consequently a sale of the controlling interest in the property could pot have been made. An examination of the list of stocks and bonds owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, however, fails to show that the Pennsylvania people hold any of the stock or bonds of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Company At any rate, the Pennsylvania people have no representative in the Directory of the T. H. & I

The St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute, whioh is leased to th«* Terre Haute and Indianapolis, has a capital stock of $3,927,715.70. Of this amount $2,383,015.70 is common and $1,544,700 is preferred stock. Of the preferred stock the Pennsylvania hold $837,000. Tbe Pennsylvania people also hold $225,000 of the $1,600,000 of second mortgage bonds of the St Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute.

That Tired Feeling

When the weather grows' wanner, that irfreme tired feeling, want of appetite, fullness, languor, and lassitude, afflict almost the entire human family, and scrofula and other diseases caused by humors, manifest themselves with many. It is impossible to throw off this debility and expel humors from the blood without the aid of a reliable medicine like Hood's Sarsaparilla.

I could not sleep, and wonld get np in the morning with hardly life enough to get out of bed.' I had no appetite, and my face would break out with pimples. I bought

a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and soon began to sleep soundly eonld get np without that tired and languid feeling, and my appetite improved." B. A. SANFOBD, Kent,0* "I bad been much troubled by general debility. Last spring Hood's Sarsaparilla proved Just the thing needed. I derived an immense amount of benefit. I never felt better." H. F.
