It is rumored ihe Chleago, Burlington & Quincy, s suon us thelr oridee is completed across the Missourl River, will practically abanton the western end of thelr road running Into Council Biuile, and run to Omaba, on the weat side of theriver. If so, 1t 18 believed the new Bt, Louls & Council Blulfs rond will mako its western terminus practically at Omaha, to competa with it, This comports with another rumor that this road and the Unfon LPaclilc have u little private arrangement with coch other, by which the latter can save 100 milcs in gotting to New York.
