i P i 1 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1877. RAILROADS. The Chicago & Lake Huron, and Who Will Manage It. Tho Rallronds Will Not Buy the Lake Front---A Temporary Depot. Plans for Reorganizing and Utilizing the Detroit & Milwaukee, Probable Change fn (he Jlichigan Central-Tho Canada Southern's New Line, THE CHICAGO & LAKE HURON, So many conflicting rumors have been put in cirenlation during thoe last fow months fn re- gard to the completion and ohjcct of the Chica- £0 & Lake Huron Rallrosd that it was {mpossl- bie to form a correet filea of what the Company really intended to do. Tho general Jmpression in the city was that the road had been comi pleted with the money advanceld by the Grand ‘Trunk, which thereby intended Lo secure an In- dependent outlet, There were, lowever, o number of rallroad officials who clalmed thnt the Grand Trunk bad nothing to do with the completion of thls rond. In order to obialn the correct Information in regard to the condition nnd objects of the Company, n TRIDUNE reporter went to Michigan to sco some of the men directly interested in the line. From the facts gathered it-can Lo authoritatively stated that the Grand Trunk has nothing swhat- cver to do with ita completion, aud its relntions with it will be nodifferent from those with the Michizan Central and other connecting lines. Mr. Joy stated that the Grand Trunk would continue to give_ fta through businesa to the Michigan Central the saine as herctofore. In order to give o correct ldea of the real status of the concern, it must bo stated that the road originnily considted of two lines, thic Chleaggo & Port” Huron, running from Tort Huron to Flint, and the Peninsular Raitrond, running from Lansing to Valparalso. The former roud was bullt by Mr. Bancroft, the pres- ent Receiver, nnd a few others. _The Iatter wus builtmostiy with forelzn capital. Neltlier venturo was remunerative, and finally both Companies were consolidated and calied the Chicaro & Lake Iiuron Rallroad, It 1was the Intention of this Company to complete the link between Flint and Lanstng, and a leaso was also nado with the Pittsburg, Fort Wuyne & Chicago Rall- road giving It the right to run over thatlinefrom Valparaiso to Chicago for the term of twenty years, thus glving ita continnous line from Port [Turon to Chicago. Had it not been for the dull times which set in ehortly after per- fecting that arrangement tho move would un: doubtedly have proved successful, nod the line hecome onc of 1ho most valuablo of all the Mlchigan roads. As it _was, however, the pavle” came on, and like all new venturcs this one suffered most scvorcl The managers found themselves unable to carry out the coutemplative fmprovementey and tho connecting link botween Fliat and Lansing was never completed. The Company went from bad to worse, and finally became soutterly bankrupt that the German bondhoiders contd not hope to el biack even ns much 8s dld the unfortunato hundholders of the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louls Rallroad. To disposc of the properiy as it wosat tho time It was placed In the hands of a Recelver was finpossible, nelther the Grand ‘Trunk nor any of {ls connectlons being willing to rurflmuo 1%, aa all of then liad enough to do to keep themeelses abovo water without belng Tonded down with such an incumbrance s this. 1In this dllemma the bondholders 1o other way of realizing anything on what t. had in- vested except by investing o litUle more and completing the section between Flint and Lan- &ing, ‘Tlis, however, could not bo done utder the old charter, as the rond was hopelessly bank- rupt. Therefore o new company was forined by the honmdholders and called the Chlcago & Northeastern Rallroad. Thus it comes thut the rection between Flint and Lansing {s called by o differont name [rom tho one Letween Port Hu- ron and Flint, and Lauelng and Vatparalso. It Is beheved by the bondholilers that tiie comple- tion of tho lne will give the road eome valuc, us ftean be useld for throuzh bustncss belween Chleazo and the East, hoth via the Grand Trunk ond Canada Southern Tullroads, and thus help the two old scctions out of the mud, and pay something “on _tha fuvestment pre- vionsly wade. The former roml makes a councction ' with tho fing now at Port ITuron, aud the Canada Southern will connoet with it after bullding a Jne from Ol City to Sarnfa, which will be tfone verysoon, ‘Through [relght tralns will beeln to sui over the now completed liue to-day, bus it 15 doubt- ful whether through passenger tratns will ba run over It boforo mnext aprine.. The Lake Hitron Company has but Jittle rolliog atock, hut n uum]muy Jias heen organized In Detrolt ealled the Michiizan Car Lomuing Company which will furnish thu cars it needs for the regulur milenge ehargze, Several hundred freight cars will also he put on the line by the Grand Trunk Canada Southern lnes, © As long a3 friend| lationscontluo to exlst between the Micligan Contral and the Grund Tiunk ond Canada Soushern Roade, the vew oo will bo of but little value s a throuzh lue to the Eust, as the former road s Dy or the most available conneetion, asrcclnll a8 the Chleago & Lake_Iluron allroad has lm’}hm al Its own between Valparniso and Chieazo, but hos to run over the Pittshurg, Fort Wavne & Chleaco. As reiards the contract between the former and Iatter ronds but Nttle can bielearned, but a leading raitrond mun of Detroft stated to & TSNS roporter that Mr. MeCullouh, -the Viee-President of the Pittsburz & Fort Wayne Rallrond, had told him u short thne hefore that the contract had no binding Torco, and coulil ho abrogated as soon as his road found it proper to doev. Should uny dilllenlty ariso between the Michigan Central ind the trand Trunk or the Canndu Bouthern Hallrouds, then thess latter yomls might uss tho Chlcago & Luke Iuron with gould ¢ffect agalnst the former, Though the Grand Trunk s not fnterested !\ccunlnrlly in the completion of the road, yet it must bu apparent to every ono that It patiis materlally by having such o conucctlon, I cage it atould azain bo” invalved i0 8 war with tho Enstern trunk Hies, provided iholinels Keptup bry the present independent Company, Suonld ft, however, bo_dlsposed of to Commodore Yanderbiit, who wlslics to use It in connectlon with the Cunwda Southern anid New York Centrnl, the tirand Trunk will be worse off than it was before. "T'o avert such calamity the munagers of tho Grank Trunk ay hend all thele encrzica to prevent the Commio- dore from swallowlug it up, und securo ft theme selyes, If possible. THE DETROIT & MILWAUKEL, The Detrolt & Milwaukes Rallroad, Hke most of the Michigan lincs, s in a bad shape financial- Iy, and some time ugo was thrown futo bank- ruptey. At a late mecting of the bundholders it was deelled to reorganize the Company, A Reorganization Committee of tive was uppolnted to muke the propes arrangoments for the sale of the property, which fs to occur Jun, 17, The Committee wis authorlzed by the bundlollers tosolicit blds for leasing the road frou the Grand Trunk, Greut Western, New York Central, and other trunk hines. The Hue runsfrom Detrait to Grand Hayen, where it connects with stesins ers runnlng between that point and Milwaikee, and which are coutrolled by the Rullroad Com- pany, The Grand 'Trunk.the Great Western, und’the New York Central gre all unxlung to get coutrol of thin piovg of properts, wileh it viluable as n connecting link between the East and Northwest. I the road falls into the hands of cither of the three ahoye-named roads it will prove a powerful competitor sud dangerous rival to the roads leading trom Chivago to the Eust, us over that Mno 1t suo further to Baster points from Miiwaukco than from Chleag And, as tho steamers between and’ Urand luven run will ot cesss on scconnt of the close of navigatlon. The Grand Trunk sud Great Western, Ly purchasing this property, would both bavean Independent outlot to the Northwest, aud be no lonzer depeudent upon the Michigsn Central. ‘There ls, lowever, doubt whether cither of these Comspantes cure ft aguinst the powerful competition of the New York Central, The prospects are that Commodore Vanderbiit will get it, in which event lie will huvo u direct routefrom New York w Milwaukee, via the New York Ceotral aml Csnada Sauthern, both of which Companies he fully coutrols. It 1s the evident dealgn of the Cotamodors tn s2cury control of a3 wmany Western and Northwestern roads as o poulbl(y can i order to use them os feeders for b L four-truck elephant, the New York Ceutral, which, without «nough food, Wl rove' of ' uu inore bepeit to Commo ore Vadderbilt than the white elephant did to its unfurtunate owner, The Detrolt & Milwaukee will bu reorgunised by the eld boud- Milwaukes all winter, buslness holdess under the laws of Michigun, The deht nt the Cumpany 1s Lo bo redured Trom $10.000,- 0 to §5,000, Of the latter amount, §2,000- o will pay intercst at from 0 Lo 7 per cent, as 08} yellbeymu ed, and tho other $3,000,000 will psy vothing for the firas year, 4 per cent for by &lfuwlngun years, aund3 per cent for Lhe LAxt five veass apd adier that Bper ot | As soon as the road has heen sold on the 17th of January, which has ta bo_daone bro forma, so as 1o get {vout of the cintehies of the Recefver, it will e Teascd 12 the road which inakes the best oller, ns stated above. — THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. A chanze In the management of the Michigan Central Ratlroad Is lkely to occur at any mio- ment, There has existed a misunderstanding between General-Superintendent H. B, Ledyard and General-Auditor Waterman for some tine past, which will probably terminate with Mr. Ledyard'’s resignation. The rumors that Mr. Ledyard has afremly sent In is roslgnation are without foundatlun, but he undoubtedly will reatgn If Mr. Waterman does not. Tho trouble between the two ofliclals arose frum the fact that the Auditor, Mr. Waterinan, has given or- ders to the officers of the road to send all fipan- chal matters connected with the read dlrect to hitn, and ot through the General Superintend- t's office. 1ic also denles the right to Mr, Led- yard to look uver or examine his accounts, and in some fustances it {s sald b lins repudlated con- tracts made l?' Mr. £ Iths bug natural that the Iatter, who [s supposed to be the chief offlcial, shoukl resent sneh treatment by a subordinate, nnd hence his deternination to resign if Mr. Waterman doces not, Mr, Water- i, who has been futerviewed by & Trisuse yeporter, etates. that he_swas ardered by Mr. Bloan and the New York Board to act as hie dul, and he has taken no steps without their advice, From this ft scems us if the New York Board was ot satlsied with Mr, Ledyard’s maunge- menty and Was determined to loree him to re- elgn.’ Mr. Joy, formerly President, and at pree- ent General Solleitor of tho Michlean Central, howuver, thinks Mr, Waterman is acting with- out nutiority, aud that he is npiring to tho position of * General Superfntendent. There was, however, not the least likelilood, Mr, Joy fall, that he would ever get it. as le wns wi sulted to 01l such a position, Mr. Joy personal- Iy Is in favor of retalning the services of Mr. Ledyanl, whom he considers an excewdingly able T 1 man, and, though set very young, the peer of many who have grown eray in the serv- jce. He had ho doubt but that the Now York Di- rectors werellssatisiied with Mr, Ledyard, he- cause the road w.s nul yet able topay dividends, Theso men did not congider the ditenlties e der which the road bad been sulfering lately. What road coub! make money at the provatli low patest Awl then tie Michlgan Central suf- fered severely from poweriul cotmpetition, It Mr Ledyard were let atane, and properly mup- ported, he woulld probably succeed In rescning the roid from {ts difficulties, and that was more than could be sald of any new man. Mr, Joy and Mr, Ledyard left for New York Monday night to Interview the Board of Direct- ors and see whether the dbliculties canuot be bridged over, Mr, Watermun also left for the mume place yesterday mornineg to lny his version of the cuse before the Directors, “As wmatters skind at present, U looks s if Mr, Sloan, tho Presdent, and the New York Directors desiro thot Mr. Ledvard shonld make place for another man. Among thoro mont promiuently spoken of for the osition i Mr. Charles Ilfm'h. formerly General upcrintendent of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, nnd at prescnt General Superintend- entof the Eastern Railroad of Massaclusctis. M » Wentworth and Mr. J, Q. A. Bean, the eflicient General Passenger and Tieliet and Gen- esa) Freight Auents of the rond, have also gone to New York, and it 18 saul they will also reslgn it Mr., Ledyard § forced tu relinquish his post- tlon. Like Mr. Joy, they think that the appuintment “at this juieture of o mew man who knows nothing about the road would prove dizastrous to the est interests of the line. Bome think that the New York Bonrd destres to furce tho road Into bankruptey in onder to wet rid of the leases which i1 has on some of the upper Michigan ronds, and which have proved and still prove to_ be very unremuncrative. It I3 Leticved that Vanderbilt is at the back of all the turmoll, as ho Hiea to get full contsol of the rogd, but does not want It welghed down with fta present incumbrances. Rumor has it that Mr. Ledyard, incasc ho should rusign his position on_ fhe Michigan Central, wiil be offer- ed the Buperintendency of_the Rockford, Hoclk Islond & St. Lowis Raflroad, which s now a branch of the Chileago, Turlin & Quiney. M Ledyard was formerly connected with tho Burlingron, and the managers of that road have tho hizhest opinion of lus abliitics s o raflroad mauuger. THE LAKE-FRONT DEPOT. The hopo thata grand unfun depot would e svon erccted on the Lake-Front, between Ran- s “dolph and Madison strects, 1s not llkely to bo realized for somo years to come. It Isnraold saylng that while the wiso man considers o queation the foul has tine to_consider it also, Bo I8 14 fu this case. Whilo the clty uuthorltles wers aiily-daliylug amt resulving nbout the sale of the L Front to therallroud companies, tho Intter found tima also to covafiler the questlon more fully, and they have now come to tho con- cluslon thiat they do not want the property on the conditfons made by the Council. It will b remembered that the Counctl, when it pnssed the resolutlon to let the Hlinols Central laye the * land for tho 200,000 praviously offered for it, declared that it should be sold only by metes and hounds, so as 10 proteet”the city's vipasian rights, ‘Iha Rall- road C: rnny las now come tu'the conclusion that {t will not have the propesty on that cons ditlon, and the §500,000 will only be paid for It if the'sale §s mado unconditionally, Of courso there fa not the least prospect that the praperty Wil he pold without reserving the city’s riparian rights, (L it s any, and, a3 tho raflromis are swaro of that fact, they are now maklug ar- rangements for depot accommadations on the ol site. Tt Is the Intention of the Iliinuis Central und Michigan Central Taflroads, which are the Joing” owners of the Central Depot, to orect a sibstantlul temporary structure on the present site, It, aowever, wlll be some ten fect wider und about Mty feet Jonger, ramilng all the way up to Randolph etrect, ‘The cstimated cost of tis new structure will Lo from 820,000 to $30,x%), and It is belleved that in this shape the bullding will answerall the requirements of the ronds now entering the oty by the Luke-Front foreeveral years, und when [t tinaily becomes fnadequuty It will be. thne for the roads to Took around for u better plave on ‘which to crecta pormnnent structure, or to mako arrangements for leaving the Lake-Front ultogother. ~“'The 1Hlinals Central Dircetors have already tuken action In regard to the matter, and the Michigan Central Directors wiliact upon It this week, The arrangzementa Lo havo the Baltimore & Ohlo Railroad enter tha Centrul Depot have nearly all been made; only a few nlnor detulls remaln to bo deeided upon. THE CHICAGO & CANADA SOUTH- ERN LINE, ‘The arrangements for running a new through Iine between Chicaro and New York via the New York Central, Canada Southern, Eel River, and Balthmore & Oblo Ratlroads have all been completed, und tralos will begin to run oyer it next epringz. The line will be completa by butld- Ing a connectivg lnk between the Cunuda Bouthern and Eel Rlver Ruads fram Fayetrs to Butler, o distance of uhout thirty miles. Of this track the Canada Southern s to hulid twen- ty miles and the Ecl River tenmiles.

The pew rates will go futo effect to-d, and are as folloy From Chicage to New York, §13; from Bt. Louls to New York, $2L To Boston tho rates will Lo $1 more than to New York, and to Philadciphia $1.50 Jess. This 1s un fncrcase of The rate {rom Cbiago to Buffalo bas beea ralsed from §10 to §13. The uew rates arc fur limited tickels, the same as tha 813 rate, which shows that the advance fs but temporars, and that aunther will be declded tipon as soou na the difficultfes botween the New York Central ani the Erle Rallroadsin rc;:nffi to tha business between Buffalo and New York has Deen settled. It Is, however, Tikely that the $18 rate decided wtpon vestenday will stand for eome time, as it is not lkely that the two New York ltacs will be pble to fome to_an understanding very soon. Besides, If the figures were made hivher than that et this time, it would teod to reduco the paseenger traflic to o minlnum. THFE PENNSYLVANIA, Apeciat Dispatch fo The Tribune.
