through the Iowa Valley. The friends of both VIII
liam H. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould yesterday denied
the rcported alliance between them, anC ii was
stated that Mr.. Vanderbilt operating u secure
a long lease OF the Chicago and Alton Road, which
runs from Chicago to St. Lous. so as to obtain ST.
louis connection in place of the Wabash route now
ize a new Southern Trunk Line.
Those IN position to know stated that 1T would
be difficult control of the Chicago AM Al
ton stock as il was mostly held for investment, the
bulk of it being owned in and around Norwich,
Conn. Ii was thought that lease might be ar
ranged OF guarantee of permanent dividends on
the stock. and of the interest on the bonded debt,
bat in no other way. IL was argued that as the
NewYOrk Central fast train 10 st. LOUIS is now run
over the Wabash Road. the new combination
might break off this connection, leaving the
New-York Central the alternative Of running over
the Bee Line from Cleveland, or TO seek new route
by the Chicago and Alton.
No one could be found who is authorized TO speak
for Mr. Vanderbilt about his projects, and the only
rumor that was officially recognized his prob
able control of tue Chicago and Northwest road.
