New Orleans Bulletin, Oct. 81.
The rumor was current Yesterday
morning upon the streets that the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company, which
is a very large creditor of the New
Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago Rail-
road, generally known as the Great
Jackson road, would assume charge of
the latter road on Monday next.
Tho rumor was strengthened by the
knowledge that some two weeks ago
prominent officials of the Illinois Cen
tral left Chicagoon directors private
car, and came over the jackson Road,
stopping at every station from Cairo
TO New Orleans, and taking a careful
inventory of the effects of the road.
The party consisted of the following
named gentlemen
w r Ackefthan, General Auditor,
L H Clarke Chief Engineer; Mr. JEFF
fries, Master of Machinery; Peter
Rockwell, Road supervisor and w
Wilkinson, Travelling Auditor.
The presence of these officials in
the city and their business was kept
quiet and escaped comment in the news
papers. On their return, however,
the trip and its objects were comment
ed on by the st Louis press.
The fact that another large creditor
of the road, Hale Aver, Esq, of Chi
cago, had recently obtained judg-
ment against the road for about $780,
900, and had seized the freight and
freight bills to make his money, Aso
gave weight to the rumors.
