When Eighteen President of Union
Pacific Had an Interest In a Broker's
Firm His Hand In Every Biq Rail
road Deal of Past Two Decades.
The many vast enterprises beaded
by R H. Harriman, president ot the
Dnloo : Pacific railroad, have at last
sapped his energies, and. as Professor
Stmempel, tne famous Viennese spe
cialist, puts It, he must have complete
rest or become an Invalid. In review
ing the career of. the map whom some
have called "an empire builder" it will
be necessary to, delve into every big
railroad deal that has been consum
mated within the last two decades.
Somewhere' in them" will be found the
Imprint of Harrtman's master hand.
In some it will stand forth boldly: in
Others only a subtle trace Is discernible
by the eye of the person uninitiated In
the intricacies of high finance of the
present day. when billions are at stake.
Wall street has been awaiting breathlessly-
the return of E. H. Harriman.
for many expected that with his com
ing announcement would be made that
the Vanderbilt Interests In the New
York Central would pass into bis keep
ing. This, if accomplished, will be the
crowning point of his career. .
Edward Henry Harriman was born
In the rectory of the Episcopal church
at Hempstead. N. Y.. on Feb. 25. 1848.
His father, the Rev. Orlando Harrl-
maD.. Jr., was the'rector of the church
at the munificent salary of $200 a year
a little less than $4 a week on which
to raise a family of six growing and
sturdy children. This church is richly
endowed today, and . the memorials
there wpre erected at the exnense of
Edward H. Harriman and his brother.
Knew Poverty In Youth.
It was a sore struggle for existence
with the-country parson, and bis wife
and children knew the pangs of pov
erty In all its phases. When Edward
was six years old Parson Harriman
moved ta Jersey City, and with biin
went his wife, four boys Nelson. Or

ways called Henry by the immediate
members of his family) aud William
and the two girls. LUy and Annie. Dp

he then procured a good charge in
New Jersey, which he held for several
years, and the burdens of the mother.

were considerably lightened. .- :
The boys attended vbureb schools for
about two years, and when the old
rector. showed signs. ot tailing health
the boys struck putfhtq the, world for
themselves. Edward getting a place as
an errand, boy in a Wall street broker's
office.
That' was his start. 'At the age of
eighteen he was given an imprest In
the firm, and .four years later be found
that his savings.1 with' which be had
speculated so successfully, enabled him
to purchase a seat on the New York
Stock Exchange '
When He Arrived." .
Harriman really "arrived" when hev
became Vice president of the Illinois
Central. His aptness for the manipu
lation of railroad .securities was soon
made manifest, and then he had full
scope for his talents. , ?
Witb a fortune amassed between the
years. 1870 and 1880 be was accredited
with .having in his strong box securi
ties which had been picked up in the
course of various panics that cost blm
little or . .nothing. With these as a
working basis and witb the support of
Stnyyesant Fish he. rapidly advanced
the Interests and value of that road. ,
Fish became president and Harriman
first vice, president. More success fol
lowed, .and then came the break witb
Fish. ;. Next came the announcement
that Harriman had gained control of
the Erie road. ,i . ,;
. Then Came Union Pacific
It was in 1898 that Harriman electri
fied the financial, world when be an

tempted the same feat and failed. He
began to buy the stock when- it sold at
$t a share, and in two years be bad
tbe stock up to $195 a share. He then
turned to the Southern Pacific and did
just as well witb that stock. Then' be
evolved a plan whereby the Onion, Pa
cific directors should issue $100,000,000
of bonds and let hi id personally pur
chase any stock or stocks be saw. fit.
In this way Harriman bought bis
way, into other roads the Baltimore
and Ohio., the Erie, the Delaware and
Hudson, the Chicago and .Alton.- the
St. Paul, the New York Central, Lake
Shore and many others. Some of these
deals bronght ' condemnation, , and a
matter .of $57,000,000 faded away in
the two,, years be bad charge of the

took up ,the bunt for this vast sum. but
they soon, abandoned the chase. ...
