WEDNESDAY MARCH 31, 1886 NO.18 w 3 the crossing of the Olive street road and Creve Coeur lake will be reached by the rst of April. Expects to Reach St. Lous. Louis Republican. Ibis asserted that Mr. A. M. Bil- fogs of Chicago has secured full and control of affairs and proper- qe St. Louis, Kansas City and do railway company, and the mad will be built to Kansas City, gh » branch to Fort Scott. It is geostated that the financial power gd railway influence behind the Billings throne is none other than Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe gmpany, although it has not as yet ! din any of the transactions, gor has anyone known to be inter- ied in the Atchison company been pealy identified with the scheme to rs possession of the St. Louis and ‘Qolorado property and tranchise,but fey have got it all the same it what gems to be a well-founded rumor jos it right. George S. Bowen, a agent of Mr. Billings in transaction, has, it 18 said,secured the stock and bond holdings of President ‘iiernan, except a few hares ot stock which that gentleman dose to retain, in order to legally { lity him to continue in the presi y until the time comes for the pal owner§ to make themselves mn. All the other members of original syndicate have also been wale] down in their holdings on a per with their president in the matter of ownership. Q it 1s well known, Mr. Billings vanced the money to complete the bret twenty miles of the line tor which he was to be well secured and Wthat end the necessary papers wre prepared and duly signed. ‘Goon ‘afterwards the rails and other ‘Material began to arrive,but not many had been spiked down before Mr. Bowen appeared on the scene demanded that the provisions ot agreement under which the loan made should be compiled with before anything further was done in the way of using Mr. Billings’ ma- ial, and stated at the same time t his understanding of the terms o the agreement was that they em- ‘braced the immediate surrender to his principal of the entire stock and bond issues ot the railway company, ‘Mve enough stock for the present Officials to legally nold their several Offices. Tothis demand a strong “Protest was made, but it availed “Rothing, tor Mr. Bowen insisted that if the stock and bond were not torth- Coming at once he should ship the Material back to Chicago and enjoin ‘the proprietor from turning another shovel of dirt on the line or making | Mirveys until the courts could decide between him and them.

A Journey to Montgomery. Men ot middle age wili vividly recall the memorable journey of Jeff- erson Davis from his home in Miss- issipp1 to Montgomery, Ala.. in 1861 It was twenty-five years ago, but it seems like a vision of yesterday. The distinguished Mississippian had been chosen president of the confed- erate states, and as Montgomery had been made the capital of the new government in honor of the man, Mr Yancy, who did more than any ten men to ‘precipitate the cotton states in revolution,”” Mr. Davis went to the Alabama capital to assume the strange, new position—a position he was to hold through scenes ot blood and fire he then little dreamed of, to an end the very opposite of that which he pictured in his speeches on his way. The south was a flame of fire then, and it was natural, per- haps, that the president of the con- federate states should interpret the splendor of the passion round him as the promise ot a brilliant success in the possible war that might come. There was only one distinguisbed man in the south—Alex Stephens, of Georgia—who had dismal misgiv- ings of the outcome of that day’s work, and his weak voice, reluctant ly listened to, was drowned in _ tu- mult and clangor of preparation. It is all over now. A quater of a century bas passed and gone into history, Books and books dealing in that eventful period have been written and they may be found in our hbraries. One was written by the first and only president of the contederate states himself, and an- other by the vice-president. But the strangest and most pathetic fact in a historical aspect is that Mr. Jefferson Davis is about to make another jour- ney trom his home in Mississipp: to Montgomery over the same route, perhaps, which he traveled in 1861, to perform a different duty trom that which he performed twenty-five years ago. He goes to the Alabama cap- ital to deliver an oration at the in- auguration of the monument to the confederate dead—a monument to the lost cause—the selt-same cause which he inaugurated on the same spot in 1861. He 1s an old man, now—nearly four score. But he has survived all the the other prominent actors in the first part of the drama ot 1861 on one side and the other. He belongs to history, along with Lincoln, Seward, Chase, Sumner, Phillips, Greeley, Toombs, Steph- ens, Yancy and Wigfall; and yet he lives to deliver orations in review of the great struggle with which his and their names are associated.—Mo, Republican. i Battle Creek, Mich., March 24.— ‘*Would you like to see me blow my brains out?’’? said James Stewart, brother of the city attorney, to a group ot men on the street, about 3 o’clock this afternoon.

It 1s barely possible that the socialists really in- tend to make war on property and that unless their plans are nipped in the bud the city by the lake may yet witness some of the horrors which attended the Paris commune.—K.C. Star. The passage by the house of the bill granting a pension of $2,000 per annum to the widow of Gen, Han- cock is peculiarly gratitying to St. Louis, where Mrs. Hancock, as Miss Russell, was widely known and as widely beloved. Her old friends will rejoice (if the bill passes the senate, of which there 1s little doubt) that she is placed beyond the reach of poverty; and those who know her will rejoice that the noble wife of a pure patriot and brave soldier has been properly cared tor by the country he served.— Mo Republican.
