TILE RAILROADS. More Trouble for the Southwest- ern Pool—Gould’s Sharp Practice, The Financial Condition of the Wa- bash, and Its Prospocts. ROW GOULD PLAYED POSSUM. Tho Southwestern allway Association is again in ® precarious condition, and the prospects for another serious conflict are daily increasing. Again it is Jay Gould who js at tho bottom of the troubles, and the shape matters have now taken fidicate tho correctness of previous reports that he is really.desirous of breaking up the organiza- tion. Tho present troubles are siinilar to those that brought the pool tothe verge of dissolution a few months ng, At that time, the Missour! Pacific, awned by Jay Gould, mado Inrgo contracts nt tess than tho Tegular rates, and thus managed to run far ahead of Sts regular proportion. Thon the balanco had to be settled in money, and, in figuring up at the end of the month, !¢ turned out that the Missouri Pacific owed tho Chi- cago fines $34,000 for the excess business itcarried. When demand was made upon the road. to tun over that amount ft refused to do so, and as a consequence soveral of the Chicnzo roads gave notice of withdrawal from the organization. When Gould was out Wost, about a month ago, 0 meeting between fim and the managors of the Southwestern roads was arranged, and Mr. Gould after hearing tho arguments, or- dered tha moncy to bo paid over, and con-, sented tov reorganization of the pool onan tonnage, instead of a money, basis, tho awards to bo mado by arbitrators, Mr. Gould nanied tho arbitrators that were chosen, an the awards were confessedly in favor af the Missonrt Paelfie, yet he does not - seem to he satisfied, as he ls playing his old tricks over again, It was remarked, nt the thne of the conference with Gould, that he did not Haten with his accustomed attention, and went to aleen, several times during the proceedings, This, together with his ready consent to pay over the $14,000 and to have tho poo! reorganized ono tonnage plan, was: believed to ben sign that Goutd had fost his former vigor, and was sick of fighting and ye ying tricks, But events seem to show hat, while Gould made it appear that he ts sick and worn, he was simply “playing pos- sum?’?and revolving in his mind how’ he could mannge to get his interest back on the $34,000 he consented to pay over, Ife evl- dently thought $34,000 wasn mighty small funount to get out of the pool, and by acting wisely he night get two or three thes ag , much out of it. “If this was his plan he has certainly succeeded beyond” his sanguine expectations, .as since the reorganiza- tion of the ‘pool the Missouri Pacific has got ahead of the other roads some $80,000, and before thistrouble is ended it will be ahead over $100,000, Thus ft with be seen that Gould made an excellent Invest- ment when ho consented to pay over the 34,000, At that Unis the pool mangers were chuckling over thelr success In‘ soft-sonp- ing” Gould so eastly, but tho tables have been turned, and the laugh {8 now on tho other sie of the mouth. The way the Missourl Pactfle has managed to play it 80 nicely on the pool lines fs easily explained. Gould controls the | Missouri Pacitic, also the Kansas Division of the Un- ion Paelfic, the Central Branch, and the St. Joseph & Western. Except on Colorado business he can make such rates from olnts on thosse lines as he chooses, ut under the terms of tho pool tho rates should be mnde to Kansas City only, from which point tha rates of the Association arg to be charged, But Gould did no such thing, Hebtlled business through from all focal polnts on the aboveroads, making lower rates than if the two locals were added to- gether, By this operation Gould manages not only to turn the bulk of business on the Missouri Pacific, but also avoids accounting for the Inrger share of the business to tho pool. At the beginning the other ronds in the pool were wondering how it came that their business was falling off so lar i, while the Missouri Pacific had its hands full and their feelings en better be tmagined than described when they “tumbled to the racket.” and found out how Gould had played {¢ upon them. About a week ago oy gave notice to tha Missouri Pacific tnat this kind of “shenanigan” had to. be stopped, and that they expected an answer by tho 20th of this month, otherwisa they Would take such measures us to protect thelr interests regardless of tho pouling agree- ment. ‘Tho Missourl Pacific has evident! consigned this notica to tho waste-baske for yesterday was tho last day of ernce, yet no answer has been received. Last evening Commissioner Midgoly was cnlled upon by io managers of the pool lines from Chicago and Instructed to notify the agents at Kansas City to mnke the rates from that point at the proportions the Missourl Pacilic gets fron 6 Kansas Pacific Central Branch buatness, ~ ‘This action ts tantamount to.a temporary suspension of the Southwestern pooling ar- Tangeniont. Unless tha Missourl Pacific, or rather Gould, should at the last moment de- cide to keep up the pool n while longer, and stccecd in “playing a little more ’possim,” the Southwestern Association tay be con- sidered at an end, and furthor arbitration will be wiieceesary. Itishardly probable that Gould will again plend the baby act, for it is quite clear thathe did not eare whether tho Pool went to pleces or not when-he decided Upon the present plan to get his $34,000 back ‘with interest, Gould controls nearly all tho lines west of Kansas City, and therefore sces no reason why ho should divide his business With other roads when he can take it all. But while Gould has the * bulge" on tho | other roads ag far as Westorn connections are concerned, the latter can retaliate by Cutting rates from Kansans Clty to such low agtires ns will make the business highly un- Profitable for his Missouri Paciiic. JWABASH, ST, LOUIS & PACIFIC. A meeting bf the Directorsof the St. Louis, Wabash & Pacific Raflway Company was held in Now York Inst week, when a partial Teport of the condition and operations of tho Company was subinitted, of which the fol- lowing isa synopsis: “The fixed charges of the Company, tucluding interest on ‘Rt the -bonds and charges on rent- sls and leases, amount to something lesa than $3,000,000 per annum, This includes the Interest on the bonds of the Chi- cago & Strawn, Chicago & Paducah, and Quincy & Missourl Roads,—857 miles, and’ $201,010 por annum, None of thoso lincs have yet been turned over to the Company, and thelr earnings have not been included in Wabnsh’s report of earnings, Nor have the Omaha extension and Clarinda Branch been fully opened for businoss, Notwithstanding the carnings of tho rond from Jan. 1 up ta the 7th of this month hava amounted to 82- be 53; Inst year, $1,074,457,.07; gain, $754,- G05 or 88 or een The rolurns of. the Auditor for the month of January show the. operating oxpenses to have been Jat @ rate of 65 per cent. {imating ‘the Increase In gross earnings at tho same rate for tho yearand the earnings of the new lines at 85, per inile, the gross farnings for the year will bo $15,303,000, and he expenses, vathinated at the same rate, will eave tho nct earnings for the year at $4,480,- 000, or about $1,489,000 In oxeeds of the lixed charges aa atsited In the December report.” ‘pthls would be a very flattering exibit it eavy business of the past winter woul lod during the balance of tho season. tho me Prospects are that the business during 16 Sumner Wil be unusually Iglit and the Pbove calculation will be found ta have been ased tinon “moonshine,” If the busiiess Senne tho summer remains the samo ns it has Deon during the last week, and the prospects Sto that it will aven bu still smaller, then the abash will at the end of the year’ find that the excess ng calculated above will have been complet | hayetoge neue’ out and a decrease will ey A SHARP TRICK, A groat deal of indignation 1s oxpressed Rong tallrond men Interested In tho north- and-south Iino Jumber . business about phe bad faith oxhtbtted by somo of the ronds, Several meetings have heretofore heen hold toestablish & wew summer tariff, which {s usually dono about tha timo navigation Opens, but nothing could be dono at either of |. theso meeting owing ta tho difference of opinion between tho various linea, ‘Tho principal matter of dispute was whether lumber should be contracted by the 100 pouhds or by the 1,000 feet.

Wforriblo Condition of the Little One— Wt WIN Probably Die. A Trinune reporter yesterday evening paid a visit to tho Foundlings’ ome, on Wood street, south of Madison, for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether any Improve- ment had been effected In the condition of the little girl baby, Anastasia Beba, whose attempted starvation: by-her -brutal father was recorded in yesterday’s issuc, Ho was recelvod by Dr. Prince, who stated that tho ense was a very doubtful one and that ho hardly was abfe to hope for the child’s recov- ery. Being asked for a professional opinion as to what was the actual cause of the child’s terrible condition, he produced the Homa register, which contained the following de acription of the advent of the little wall, who, by the way, had been named Lucy by the Judes of the Homo: “ Brought here at 9n.m., April 19, by an of- ficer of the Humane Socioty, Anencandy. about: 3 months old; appohrance of child yery much emnolated. sleepless, fretful, staring oses, sufl- fering evidently from sympnathotic tuflamma- tion of tho brain, which might be produced by starvation.” “You think thoao appearances ‘might be produced by other causes than starvation? the reportor asked, “1 put the allusion to starvation vory caro- fully,” the Doctor answered, ‘ becruse I wn- derstand tho fathor of tho child has beon ar- rested, and Ldid not desire ta Increase what- over prejudice oxists against hin.” a hat disease are you treating the child ‘or “ For starvation.
