Dr. Webb and Jay Gould.
The abrupt manner in which Vice President Webb treated a representative of the Knights of Labor who called as mediator between the company and the men has recalled the fact that all the Webb boys are disposed to be peremptory in business dealings, even with older and stronger men than themselves.
In the very older days of Dr. Seward Webb as a railroad man he attempted a little show of authority with Mr. Jay Gould, which that gentleman treated in his dry, sarcastic way. It seems that W. H. Vanderbilt was just dead when his son-in-law, Dr. Webb, in a business letter, called Mr. Gould rather peremptorily to account, and presented his ultimatum in a matter concerning some exchange of business between the Vanderbilt and Gould roads.
Dr. Webb's idea was to hurry Mr. Gould to a settlement. But Mr. Gould was not to be hurried, or even brought to a consideration of the case, and he wrote a short note to Mr. Webb in which he simply said that his sorrow over the death of Mr. Vanderbilt three or four days before had been so poignant that he was unable to consider any business with his son-in-law at present. It is probable that Mr. Gould has not heard from Dr. Seward Webb since.-Philadelphia Press.
