A’ proposition was made by Mr. Samue! Thornton to collect the fees from as many members as possible to make u. the rent, and, if more than enough was collected, to turn itover to the urer. This proposi- tion was accepted, and it was voted to continue the organization.

A TrmusE reporter called at thelr office esterday and had a brief conversation with mmissioner Price on the subject, of the pro- posed temporary transfer, the. Commissioner. Stating that the proposition wus a perfect sur prise to him and, he believed, also to the rest of io Board. He had nothing to say upon the subject, ashe. had: not had time to give it any consideration. At the same time he did not see what benetit it was going to be to the Bourd to have tem} ry possession of the land which, after they had ‘expended a large nmount of money. on its improvement, would be turned overagainto the Aldermen, to do what they liked with it. What action the Board would take in the matter he did not know, but nothin, would be done until the Council's action hi taken some definit shape.

It is churged that they have been shov- eling it int the gutters and leaving the city to remove it if it is removed at all, and this is what it is desired to stop. ‘THERE is trouble in the erection of the bridge over the canal at Kedzie avenue, and yesterday it was reported that most of the structure, which wus to have been completed in a few days, was in the canal. It appears that the boatmen on the canal look upon the bridge with disfuvor, and have several times stecred their crafts into the seaffoldiug nnd knocked it down, and the last time the bridge went down with it. ‘The contracior on the work complained to the city uuthorities yesterday, but, since the city has no control over the canal, nothing was done. Tke contractor will turn his attention next to the canal authorities, and it remains to be seen whether the bridge will be built ornot, ‘Tue Mayor and Commissioner Waller resumed the investigation into the alleged deficits in the Water Office outside those of Moeckel's. The “experts” some days ago reported the deficits, and the Mayor was left to find out how they had been created, and to this end had several of the omployés of the office before him to explain entries made upon the books in their charge. The examination was in private, and since it as not completed nothing could be learned of it. The work is to be continued from day to day until compieted, and enough is known already to assert that the result will be the dis- missal of some of the accused, if nothing else occurs. SOME EARLY HISTORY. Ex-Warden Kimberley, of the Insane Asylum, yesterday called upon the Mayor, and presented him with a listof the members of the Fire De- ‘partment when it wns a volunteer organization, and also some valuable historical data in con- nection with the department in those times. ie record goes back to ISi, when Augustus rrett was Mayor,and the city’s population was estimated at about 8,000. A.S.Sherinan was then Chief Engincer, and Francis 1. Sher- man, who ‘was subsequently Mayor, was Foreman of Fire Bucket Company No. 1. John C. Haines was Treasurer of the Fire Guard, and John Colehour, Sanford Johnson, Samuel A. Lowe, and George A. Robb held positions of one kind or another. The records are minutes of the meetings of the Department at odd times between 1St4 und 1856, and show that among the members of the Department, and who are yet living, were: Henry Greenebaum, Patrick Casey, Avery Moore. J. G. Shortall, Val Rub, M. Ben- ner, John. McCarty, James Mcliale, Anton Berg, James M. Donnelly, Joseph Abrams, Phil Conley, T. M. Bradley, ‘Tyrrell, James A. Purington, A. Benedict, A.

Hayes, deceased, also sppeared on the list. - The papers were the prop- erty of Mr. Kimberiey’s father, and have turned up in the settlement of his estute, and are a vuluatfie piece of Chicago's early history, espe- cially since all such records were destroyed by the fire of 1871. The papers were turned over to the Fire Department, and after “being suitably. epeoared: will be presented to the Historical So- THE COUNTY-BUILDING. Srx prisoners were ordered discharged from tho jail yesterday, no bills having been found against them by the Grand Jury. ‘Tue principal business of the County Coun yesterday was the hearing of condemnation cases, and nothing of any importance. NEARLY everybody of prominence about the County-Building was over to the Grand Pacifi yesterday, looking after the various ** booms.” . ‘THE joint committee meeting;—Bu ildings and Service. —which was to have been held yesterday afternoon, was postponed until Friday afternoon av2 o'clock.

OPPOSITION TO INCREASING LICENSES. ‘A mass-meeting of saloonkeepers was an- nounced to take place yesterday afternoon at 2 o’ciuck at North Side Turner-Hall. The object of the gathering was understood to be the regis- tration of a protest against the proposed increase of the license for the sale of liquors, etc. Saloon- keepers are not usually a punctual set, and 80 3 o'clock arrived before the mecting was called toorder by Herman Langenhahn, Vice- President of the Saloonkeepers’ Association. ‘About sixty representatives of the trade yere present. Mr. Louis Schwuchow was then placed in the chair. ‘At a previous meeting Messrs. A. Volke, Frank Schorth, and Louis Schwuchow were ap- pointed a committee to ascertain the sentiment of the trade in regard to the projected raise. ‘That Committee reported, through the last- named member of the Committee, that there Was a unanimity of opinion against the increase. ‘The present price of the license—2—was con- sidered. bigh enough. A number of German speakers delivered themselves at length upon 6 subject, when Mr. Lungenbahn moved that acommittee of three be appointed to draw by a series of resolutions pees the proposed in- cee ae ines and that these resolutions be jed to the Mayor. A representative 3 the business from the Stock-Yards favored the motion. He believed the whole thing an aristocratic piece of business, and this motion carried into effect would make plain whether the Mayorfavored the aristocracy or the workingmen. : ‘Messrs. Gammill, Schroth, and Volke were sp- pointed’ such 2 committee, who retired to pre- are aresolution. During their absence Peter Sitter said tho Mayor and the Council should be asked their object. in entertaining the proposi- tion to raise the license—whether it was for the purpose of benefiting the City Treasury,~or ‘whether tho object was to assist the temperance people at the expense of the saloonkcepers. If the former object was sotight to be accom- plished, the. speaker thought the other busi- nesses—dry-goods, grocery, hotels, etc.—should be proportionately taxed. Several speakers followed in the same strain. RESOLUTIONS. - ‘The above-named Committee then presented the following: “ Resolved, By the saloonkeepers of Chicago in mass-meet ‘assembled, that the attempt to increase the licensc-fee to $150 is an unwar- ranted and unjust discrimination. agninst a branch of business already heavily taxed by the United States, State, County, and City Govern- ments. ‘ “ Resolved, Thatsuch an increase would not tend to lessen the number of disreputable places, while a great many respectable and law-abiding saloonkeepers, who are dependent upon their business for their support and the support of their families, would be unable to meet this in- creased expense. “ Resolved, That a committee of flve be ap- pointed by this meeting and instructed to lay these resolutions before his Honor the Mayor and the members of the Common Council.” ‘The akove resolutions were unanimously car- ried, and the following Committco appointed: Messrs. Schroth, Volke, Gammill, Clinens, and Rouhen. + ‘The meeting then adjourned. UNIVERSALISTS. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD. The Executive Bonrd of the Illinois Uni- versalist Convention held a mecting yesterday afternoon in Room No. 26 of the McCormick Block, President J. H.Sloan in the chair. Thero were also present Treasurer H. H. Massey, Secr®tary F. E. Johnson, the Rev. J. W. Hanson, D.D., the Rev. C. E. Tucker, of Aurora; the Rev. M.A. Straub. of Chicago; the Rev. M..L. Pope, of Dexter, Effingham County; the Rev. A. H. Lang, of Joliet; Ald. Throop, the Hon. B. F. Walker, and Mr. George L. Matthews, of Chi- cago. ¢ It was reported to the Board that the Uni- ‘versalist Society of Morrison’, Whiteside County, had a debt hanging over it of $2,175, and that the Rev. A. H. Lang, of Joliet, had ‘volunteered to there and assist the people to lift it, which eing the case, the Board decided to take no further action'until they had ascertained the re- sult of his trial. ‘The question of the engagement of a State Superintendent ‘of Missions then came before the Board, its consideration being the special ‘purpose for which the meeting had been called. general discussion of the subject ensued upon the proposition, some feeling that the Conven- tion would not be able to raise the required money, while the majority held that the work was greatly needed just now, and that the neces- sary funcs could be casily raised.’ After the subject had been fully discussed, on motion of Ald. Throop, it was decided to engage a State agent. ‘The question of the salary to he paid him was then taken up, and it was resolved that the State Agent should receive 31,500 a year, payable monthly, and his expenses. The names of the Rev. James Gorton, of Nashua. N. H., and the Rev. D. C. Tomlinson, Agent of Buchtell Coltege, of Akron, O., were presented as men available and weil adapted for the position. A ballot was taken, which re- sulted in theelection of the Rov. Mr. Tomlinson to the place, and theSccretary of the Convention was instructed to immediately confer with Mr. Tomlinson to learn whether be will accept, and report at ain early meeting of the Bonrd. n motion, it was decided that the title of tho newly-made official should be “State Agent of the Hlinofs Universalist Convention.” On motion, it was resolved to_nsk the United States General Convention for $15,000 in aid of this and other missionary work in Hlinois. A subscription was taken up, and severalsums of money collected from the members of_ the Bonrd in af of the fund in support of the State Agent. ‘The Board then listened to an address from the Rev. M. L. Pope, of Dexter, who is the au- thorized missionary of the Lower Wabash Asso- ciation. Mr. Pope related his experiences among the people of that county, stating that he hud ashort time before come to the Universalists from the Baptists, and since the change he had found some difficulty in raising funds for pay-- ment ot his services, while undcr his old enguge- ment he got pald by the Baptist Home Missiona- ry Society. He asked the Convention to remem- ber him when they were flush. ‘The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the Secretary. SUBURBAN. EVANSTON. | The Board of Trustees failed to get'a quorum ‘Tuesday evening, and adjourned until the first Tuesday evening in Marchi. : a ENGREWOOD. Mr. Fred.&. Kimmey, Secretary of the Board of Education, was suddenly called away yester- “day to al 2 the funeral of a niece, and will not return till Friday night. As he is Chairman of the Committee appointed to investigate the charges sguinst Homer Bevuns, techor of the High-Schooi, and hus the papers and evidence in his possession, the Committee will not get togeth- er until his return. Nearly all of the complain- ants have stated to Mr. Bevans that they were induced to make the complaints through misrep- resentations which they did not personally in- vestigate.” It is likely that a very mild censure will be the extent of the finding of the Commit- tee when they make a report. ENJOINED FROM TEACHING. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. LAFAYeErteE, Ind., Feb. 25.—On Saturday ‘Judge Ward granted a temporary restrain- ing-order prohibiting George W.

RAILROADS. The High Joints to Meet at the Grand Pacific To-Day. Reduction of Freight Rates—The Grand Trunk’s Policy. 5 i ‘What Is Jay Gould Up To P—The Black Hills Business.’ THE HIGH JOINTS. ‘The meeting of the High Joints will com- mence at 10 o'clock this morning. Thus far but one of the New York delegation, Mr. J. H. Rutter, General Traffic Manager of ‘the New York Central, has arrived here. The rest of the New York delegation, including Commissioner Fink and Mr. George Blanch- ard of the Erie, will arrive this morning in a special car. A number of Eastern and West- ern railroad managers are already in town, and many more will arrive to-day. The meeting promises to be a highly important one, as several subjects of teat interest will come up for discussion and action. The call for the meeting states that the following questions will be considered at this meeting: ‘The revision of classification. ‘The revision of tariff to New England interior points. ‘The revision of rates on live hogs, [The Com- mittee appointed at the Inst, meeting reported by a vote of 5to3in favor of making the rate the same as fourth cinss.} : ‘The Jumber tariff during the summer months, | beginning April 1. he rate on whisky, referred at last meeting to the Classification Committee. ‘The adoption of percentages on east-bound trains from Ashland, Beardstown, etc. ‘The adoption of the plan for making rates on foreign freights the same via all Eastern ae between the same points of shipment and desti- nation. . ‘Tho investigation of charges of cutting rates. Charges to be preferred against any member of the Committee should, it practicable, be for- warded to the Chairman, so that the same can be communicated to the accused party prior to the fnecting. . ‘The revision of the organization and, by the laws of the joint Executive Committee, any other subject relating to the business of the Committce may be introduced, and will be con- sidered. But, aside from this, several other questions will come up for consideration, the most im- portant of which will be whether there should bea reduction in east-bound rates, Amajority of the managers who have al- ready arrived seem to be opposed to a reduc- tion, yet this does not by any means signify that one will not be ‘decided upon. When the matter gets discussed, and the necessity for itis shown, many of those now opposed toit wili no doubt change their opinion. The large trunk-lines seem to de playing a sharp game in this matter. They base their opposition to a reduction in rates on the ground that the prices of grain would be advanced in proportion to the reduction in freight rates, amd consequently it would not help to move the stuff, and-would result in wdead losi to tho rajlroads. Their real ob- ject, J:owever, is to olutwit the Grand Trunk, which is now tal outa great deal of grain and other produce, and ,it is believed by the trunk-lines, at cut rates, 1£ the Jatter decid- ed upon an open reduction the Grand Trunk would simply follow suit. They therefore mean to create the impression that the rates_are being kept up at the pres- ent figures, while in fact they mean to give rebates to large shippers, and thus secure the business which they could not otherwise get. Such action, while it would no doubt have the effect of moving some of the grain now being piled up here and awaiting transportation, would actrather detrimentally to the smaller lines, which would be expected to maintain the regular rates. It would also be death to the smaller shippers, who would be unable to compete with the large ones who are clandestinely given rebates. ‘he breach between the Grand Trunk and the New York trunk- lines is gettmg wider every day, and in spite of all efforts it will be hardly possible to avoida serious rupture and a general break in_the rates. At the last meeting of the “High Joints” in New York charges were preferred. against the’ Grand Trunk and Vermont Central for cutting the rates, but the managers of these roads denied any knowledge of such a thing, and promised to maintain the rates thereafer. Since then, however, tho Grand Trjink has opened its new line to this city, and ng ‘longer needs to hob- nob with the trunk-linés. 1t has changed its tactics now, and at themeeting to-day neither the Grand ‘'runk or Vermont Central will be represented. The Grand Trunk has steadily refused to report to the Board of ‘Trade the amount of business dong over its new line, and much ill-feeling is expressed on this ac- count by the trunk-lines, which are thereby kept in the dark as to the real doings of the Grand Truk, GOULD COMING WEST AGAIN. Jay Gould is going to make another trip to the West next week. It is claimed that the principal object of it is to attend the meeting of the Southwestern Railway Association. which will be held in St. Louis March 3, to look into the causes of the present troubles among the roads in the Missouri River pool. As heretofore stated in Tne Tripune, the principal blame for the precarious condition of the pool is laid on the Missouri Pacific, mainly owned by Gould, which line refuses to pay over the sum of 334,000 it owes to the Chicago & Alton and other Chicago roads for carrying a surplus of business. The Chicago roads, which only a short time ago paid the St. Louis lines $59,000, ‘of course feel sore at the unprincipled action of the Mis- souri Pacific. Gould, it is said, is under the impressio that. this amount has to be paid by the Garrisons, from whom he purchased the road.. This, however, is only subterfuge, as Gould can hardly claim that heis‘not responsible for the debts of the Company, to whose pool he is still a party, If Gould dia not mean to carry out the pooling agreement, he should have givennoticve upon obtaining control of that road that he would not be a member of the Southwestern Associa- tion. But he has continuod a member, and pocketed all the benefits accruing therefrom, It is believed that Mr. Gould has been misled by the managers of the Missouri Pacific, and that he will settle up when the real facts are laid before him. ‘The fact that the South- western poolisto terminate on the ist of May is no.reason why any of. the lines should re- pudiate their old obligations. . While the above maiter is assigned as the reason for Gould’s visit West, yet it is certatn that the real object is one of much more im- portance. For such a trifle Gould would never inake such an extended trip. It seems more likely that he has some. more railroad accessions and combinations in view. | It is reported that he has virtually obtained con- trol of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad, and that he is going to make a trip ,over this road to make a thorough inspection, as he usually does when he obtains control of a new line. | It has long been known that he was dfter this property, and since his late purchases of Texas roads, i] and his arrangement h Col. Scott to extend the ‘Texas Pacific from, Fort Worth to El Paso, it has become certain that he meant to secure this road to run it in connection with the ‘Texas _Pacifie‘and his other Texas proper- ties. The St. Louis, Lron Mountain & South- ern runs from St. Louis and Cairo to Texar- cana, where it makes direct connection with the ‘Texas Pacific and the International & Great Northern of Tex: It is also prob- able that during this visit, he will decide upon the consolidation of the Missouri Pa- cific with the Missouri, Kansas & ‘Texas and untain & Southern with the What other changes he means not yet come to light, but that there will be still more surprises in store there can be but little doubt. COLUMBUS, CHICAGO & INDIANA CENTRAL. The Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central Railroad Company has been sued by the United States, the latter seeking to Tecover from the Company the sum of $121,262 In the vetition filed by District-Attorney Chan- ning, of Cincinnati, it is alleged that the above-named railroad Company, between the Ast day of November, 1564, and Feb. 1, 1569, did earn certain profits, to-wit: The sum of 2,473,742, which was expended for. interest on bonds issued by said Company, payable more thanone year after date, and carried to the account of certain funds and used for construction, upon which amount the de- fendant became liable to pay the plain- tiff a tax of 5 per cent thereon, and interest from the 1st day of February, 1869, at the rate of 1 per cent a month. And also in-that the defendant between the ist day of February, 1869 and the Sist day of December, 1871, did’earn certain profits, to-wit; The sum of 293,863, which was ex- pended for interest on ponds issued by said | Company payable more than one year after ‘dateand carried to the account of certain finds and used for construction, upon_which said amountthe Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Cen- tral Railroad became liable to pay to plaintiff atax of 5 per cent upon the sum of $1,596,595 earned prior to the Ist day of August, 170, and a tax of 2% per cent upon the sum 0: $1,696,766, earned subsequent to the Ist day of August, 1870, amounting to the sum of $1,222,248, of which the sum of $114,815 was Bald, leaving due and unpaid ‘the sum of 7,433, together with a penalty of 5 per cent thereon, and interest from the ist day of Jan- uary, 1872, at the rate of | per cent per month. ‘Whereupon plaintiff prays judgment for the sun of $113,829, with a penalty of 5 per cent and interest from Feb. 1, 1869, at the rate of 1 per cent per month. Also the sum of $7,483, with a penalty of 5 per cent and in- terest from Jan. 1, 1872, atthe rate of 1 per cent per month, BLACK HILLS BUSINESS. ‘The mention made in yesterday’s TRIBUNE of the troubles regarding the Black. Hills business between the Chicago & Northwest- ern and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul on the one hand, and the Illinois Central on the other, has stirred up the contesting roads to such an extent that they decided that it would not do, now that the public had been made acquainted with the fact that such trouble existed, to carry the contest any further. Consequently a meeting of the representa- tives of the lines interested in this matter was called by telephone, to be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel during yesterday after- noon. The following gentlemen made their appearance at io appointed _ time: . ©. Wicker, Chicago & | Northwest- em; Horace Tucker, Illinois. Central; George E. Merchant, Dakota Southern; and, R. Capron, Milwaukee & St. Paul. After a great deal of discussion a compromise was effected and rates were agreed upon from Chicago, St. Louis, and Milwaukee to Sioux City, Yankton, and Running Water, to take effect March 1. The exact terms of thé agreement were not learned, but it is_under- stood that a concession was made to the Iili- nois Central on Sioux City business, which road has heretofore insisted upon making the same rates to Sioux City as the other lines make to St. Paul and Omaha. IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER. The Rochester & State Ling Railroad Com- pany has gone into the hands of,a Receiver. The application was made by the Union Trust Company of New York. It is claimed that the bankruptcy of the road was brought about by certain members of the Rochester Common Council, who have sought in a suit againt the principal stockholders to recover the original first-mortgage bonds for $600,- 000, an investment of that city in an equal amount of railroad stock. It is believed that an early day willbe appointed for the sale of the road, and that it will pass into the hands of Vanderbilt, and that the bonded towns along the line of the road will suffer considerable loss thereby, unless a compro- mise is effected with the Union Trust Company, for which efforts will be made by the representatives of the road during the present week, This railroad runs from Rochester to Salamanca, a dis- tance of about 109 miles, and passes through the Genesee and Wyoming Valleys. _ It forins the connecting link between the New York Central and the Atlantic & Great Western Railways, thus making the shortest and most direct route for all the New England business_coming from the Southwestern States. Under the ‘Vanderbilt management last year the road was said to be in a most prosperous condition, and earning a surplus over the interest on: its bonded debt. At the recent election for officers, Vanderbilt is credited with declining to have anything further todo with the road thun simply to retain their legal.claim upon it because of the suit brought against the road, Mr, Sylvanus J. Macy, of. Rochester, is the new Receiver. —— A NEW DEAL. ‘The meetings of the Fast-Freight Lines at the Grand Pacific were concluded yesterday. The only thing of interest that’ took place was the resignation of Mr. J. W. Smith as General Manager of the Erie & North Shore Dispateh. Mr. Smith has taken this step to enable him to accept the position of General Manager _of the Toledo & Ann Arbor and Detroit, Hillsdale & Southwestern, which two roads will shortly be consolidated. Mr. Smith is a railroad man of great experi- ence and fine ability, and the Erie & North Shore loses the services of an official whose place cannot. be easily supplied with an equally competent man. No steps were taken yesterday to fill the place vacated by Mr. Smith, buta meeting is to be held this morning at the Grand Pacific Hotel for the purpose of selecting one. There are two gentlemen mentioned for the recent position. One is Mr. Charles F. Case, at pres- ent General Eastern Agent of that line at ‘New York, and the otheer is Mr. Charles Tap- an, General Manager of the Hoosac Tunnel Line, Either of these gentlemen will be qual- ified for the position, both having considera- ble experience in the management of fast- freight line affairs. C., M. V. & D. Mr. Vernoy, O., ‘Feb. 25.—The annuat meeting of the stockholders of the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Delaware Railroad Company was held at Mt. Vernon: to-day, at which the report of the ‘Directors for the past year ‘was presented and read, and ordered printed and distributed among the stockholders. The earnings were $404,025.78, being an increase of 521,327.66 over those of the previous year. ‘The election for a new Board of Directors re- sulted as follows: Thomas D. Messler and William Thaw, Pittsburg; George B. Roberts, Philadelphia; William M. Orr, Orr- ville; Isaac_Harpster, Millersburg; Samuel Israel and Charles Cooper, Mt. Vernon; M. White, Gambier; D. W. Caldwell, Columbus. ‘The Board subsequently organized by re- electing Thomas D. Messler President and J. S. Davis Secretary. All the other officers were reappointed. « THE ST. PAUL, OMAHA & CHICAGO RAILROAD. The consolidation of the Sioux City & St. Pauland Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis and North Wisconsin Railroads has at last been accomplished, and the new line, which will be known as the St. Paul, Omaha & Chicago Railroad, will be managed by a syndicate. The New York,Tribune has the following regarding this iinportant trans- action: A company of prominent railroad men has se- cured control of the St. Paul & Sioux City Rall- ond. ‘This syndicate is composed of R. P. Flower, David Dows, Josiah M. Fiske, Heber R. Bishop, Benjamin ‘Brewster, William Schley, George I. Seney, Charles J. Osborn, Henry Sei- bert, Dennis U. Willcox, M. L. Sykes, andSamuel Hawk, of New York; Philetus Sawyer, Wiscon- sin; H. H. Porter and William H. Ferry, Chicago; R.R. Cable and P. L. Cuble, Rock fsiand; E. PF. Drake, A. H. Wilder, and'J. L. Merriam, St. Paul; ‘and Jacob .Humbird, Cumberland, “Md. ‘These persons have bought 40,000 shares, 2 con- trolling interest, in the St. Paul & Sioux City Road,. for which they have paid, for tho common stoek 40, and for the preferred stock 80. They own, at the same time, a controlling inter- est in the Chicago, St. Paul ‘& Minneapolis and the North Wisconsin Ratlroads. From: these three companies it Is proposed t form a new corporition, which will be called the St. Paul Omnka & Chicugo Railroad Company. The terms of the consolidation have not yet been agreed upon, but it is suid by prominent members of the syndicate that there is no doubt of the union of the three companies. The preliminary agree- ments have been signed, and the compietion of the proposed union is simply a matter of detail. Several members of the syndicate will leave New York on Friday for the purpose of inspect- ing the lines. It has been said that the roads would fall under the control of the Chicago & Northwest- ern Company. This was denied yesterday. by meinbers: of the Syndicate, who said that tho new Company was formed in the interest of no railrond organization. Among the members of the new Company the 150, St. Paul & Min- neapolis Company is represented by H. H.Por- ter and William H, Ferry, its President and Vice- President; tho St Paul ’& Sioux City by E. F. Drake, President, John L. Merriam. Vice-Presi- dent, and A. H. Wilder, one of the Directors: M. L. Sykes, Vice-President, und David Dows, K.P. Flower, and Churies J. Osborn are Directors of the Chicago & Northwestern, and Dayid Dows Vice-President, RP. Flower, Benjamin Brew- ster, and R. R. Cable are Directors of the Chi- cago, Rock Island & Pacific Company. The North Wisconsin Itoad has been uperated in con- nection with the Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis Road, und the same persons represent both in- verests in the new organization. ‘The consolidated road SH mil E ompany will run a line of s in length, of which about 200 miles of ‘construction. The extension of Northorn Nebraska Road, which acquired recently by the St. Paul & Sioux was City Company, is now under contract, and wiil give a continuous Une from St. Paul_to Omah: where it will connect with the Union Pacific with the Southwostern rajiroads. The cand Wisconsin Road Js now in operation from Hud- son, on the. line of the Minneapolis Road, to Granit Lake. It is proposed to extend the road to Bayfield, on Lake Superior, according to the plans of its original projectors. The distance to built to complete this road is about 135 miles. Js Aq nronosor_alao. by tha friends of the new | ny toextend the Minneapolis Road east- a ra ‘Elroy to the shores of Lake Michiga: The traffic arrangement with the Northwestern 'd, with which it connects at Elroy, will not Roa rerminated at present. bevhen the ‘with these projected exten- sions shall be completed, it is claimed that tho fixed charges will amount to only $760 a mile, or the interest at 6 per cent on a little over $12,000 of bonded debt a mile. It is said that the dis- tance from Omaha to New York by way of St. Paul and the lake is less than by the way of Chi- cago. The friends of the enterprise believe that the emigration to this part of the Northwest and the natural exchange of traffic will make the roperty valuable. By. the consolidation the Rinneapotis Road secured the benefit of the ter- Mina! facilities at St. Paul of the Sioux City Road. ‘That Company is said to own there prop- erty worth $1,000,000, and, except the Chicago. Slilwaukee & St. Paul Road, is the only road that can secure proper terminal accommoda- tions at St. Paul. A BIG LAND PURCHASE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Sr. Louis, Mo., Feb. 25.—An important sale was consummated here to-day, the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Compa- ny purchasing from the Wiggins Ferry Com- pany a tract of land in East St. Louis forthe Jocation of an immense freight depot and for terminal facilities generally. The site pur- chased is the old Ohio & Mississippi depot grounds, and is a tract 630 by 200 feet in ex- tent, lying on the river bank. The sum paid for the land was $180,750. ‘The wholeamount was handed over in cash this afternoon. En- gineers will atonce begin work upon the plans for a freight depot 600 by 40 feet in di- mensions, the building to-be’of brick, with slate roof. A round-house with about twenty stalls will be ‘built, and twenty new tracks will be laid down on the grounds. The new yards are expected to accommodate about 1,000 cars. ey ITEMS. The Chicago & Alton seems to be no less popular at St. Louis than it is at Chicago and Kansas City, its other terminal points. The Common Council of St. Louis last Friday passed a resolution pledging every conven- jence within their legal power to that road. Mr. E. A. Ford, at present General Passen- ger Agent of the Vandalia Line, and former- ly of the Iron Mountain, é prominently mentioned for-the position of General Passen- ger and Ticket Agent of the Micsouri Pacific in place of Mr. €. C. Cobb, resigned. Mr. Ford is an excelleft passenger man, and the Missouri Pacific could hardly find a man bet- ter suited for this place. ‘ The representatives of the Peoria Associ- ated ‘Roads ‘will meet at the Grand Pacific Ho- tel to-day to discuss matters regarding the Peoria pool on east-bound business. The Illinois Midland and other roads that have been awarded but small percentages will give vent to their feelings for not getting more, and they mean to let Mr. Fink know that they are decidedly dissatisfied. Whether ies will do them any good isa problem yet to solved. The Cinein nati Enquirer has the follow- ing regarding the opening of the Cincinnati Southern: “The General Freight Agent of the Cincinnati Southern Road over- whelmed with inquiries as to rates to nearly every point reached by rail in the South and Southwest, and should parties ‘interested ex- perlence aslight delay. in Teceiving the in- formation they ask for they must be patient and bear in mind that the officers of the Southern were not prepared forthe avalanche of freight and business which is pouring’ on to the road, and as soon as is practicablé all letters will be answered. The warmest ‘iends of the Cincinnati Southern had but 1itt® conception of the heavy business which would offer ere the line is faigl». opened. All hail to our ‘costly monumerft. our ‘ white elephant.’ ” Improvements which have been in Progress by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company in Buffalo, to obtain in- creased facilities for the handling of coal, were abruptly suspended last week, because it was feared that the Buffalo Common Council would not grant a petition of the New York Central to. lay tracks from its resent line to the Erie street station of the former read, a connection which was deemed. necessary by both roads. It is stated that the petition of the road is strongly opposed by the property owners, and it is feared that a two-thirds vote of the Council in favor of it cannot: be_secured. The work done thus far by the Delaware, Lackawanna & West- erm is the completion of about 10 feet of dockage in eighteen feet of water, which has cost about $15,000... The Lacka- wanna Road threatens to transtcr the trestie- work to Oswego, where the Companyalready owns docks, if the Buffalonians remain stub- born. If this course is taken, the 300,000 tons of coal which it was expected would be handled at Buffalo the coming season will go to Oswego. ny = The Eldredge Sewing-Machine.—It leads the world, and is the best for you to buy.
