road handing a In ,bssome ydegsee
| tpe trade fcRol which "a the
Ohio and Mississppi already had from
Cairo; but tho Cairo trade was always
had at a serious disadvantage by the Ohio
and Mississippi because Of the gross dis.
ordinations made against IL by tho lii
nois Central road. The Ohio and Missis-
| sippi road was however, likely 20 be still
further injured in that direction BY the
probability that this Cairo and Nincennes
| road would have a connection ut Vincennes
with the indianapolis and Vincennes road,
and thus formidable competition estab-
tablished for business that would be con-
trolled at Cairo and possibly for q trans
continental connection. That this connec-
ton toward Indianapolis would lie very
undesirable ono for Cincinnati is plainly
apparent, and now thata review of the
work on the Cairo and vincennes road Is
in progress, II would be we'll for our people
to see into whose hands or interests its
management will work. The indianapolis
and Vinceanes road 10 controlled by the
Pennsylvania company. II the Cairo and
Vincennes road becomes q part of the H..
dianapolis and Vipcennes road, of course
It's traffic will not be in the interests oil
this city, since tfe Ohio and Mississippi
road is controlled by companies in active
competition with the Pennsylvania com.

+" If the business men of the city max,

IL will be for their interest, and assure
them that the road will be built, and bull
