THE RAILROAD CRISIS.
Is the Southern Division of the st.
Louis and Southeastern Railroad
About TO Change Hands,


About TO Change Hands,
Henderson (Ky.) Chronicle.
Our citizens perceive now that there must
be some change in the ownership of the
road, or the present proprietOrs must call TO
their aid some fresh capital or they are
swamped. The plea Ofthe Vice Preeident's
circular, that they have used all the earn
ings of this end Of the road for its equip
ment, is, we believe, piece Of facetious-
ness on the part of that official which in
stead of being received with laugh, how
ever, is likely to meet with uncomfort able
questions and disfavOr.
That the Southern Division of the St.
Louis and Southeastern railroad has been
as improbable as that circular hints, will
not be believed by any person who has
watched the business of the concern. Be
fore the consolidation, the Kentucky
Division was we'll known to be
paying Institution, and the
American Contract Company demonstrated
that fact; and at this late day it does not
set well on the public to be told that on the
consolidation all its earnings were COM
PEELED TO be used for equipment of the di-
vision in question. If il could do a large
business, and pay its expenses, including
the interest on its mortgage bonds and four
per cent. on the preferred bonds, poorly
equipped, it ought certainly to increase in
prOtitableness as its facilities increased.
Or If not, the management showed extra
ordinary bad judgment in increasing the
equipment and expenses, beyond what the
prospects Of the road justified and insured
a good return for.
1t looks altogether like this division has
been thescat's-paw, and has been raking
chestnuts for an Unsuitable monkey behind
its back.
Informed persons foreSee that the South
ern division of the st. Louis and South
eastern (cOnsolidated), must pass into the
hands of the wealthy corporation Of the
South, known as the Nashville and Chatta-
lOOga Railroad. This road will doubtless
give new life and energy to the branch and
be Of valuable aid to the city.
