THE r RAILROADS.

ATCHIsoN, KS, Dec. 1.-Jay Gould and
party returned to this city to-day. Gould
was shown the dispatch sent from ST.
Joseph, Saturday night. to the Associated
Press, and said Its statements were wholly
unauthorized. He further stated that the
Central Branch Road would be extended to
a connection with the Kansas Pacific at
an early day; that the st. Joe and Denver
road would be extended to Atchisou from
a point uear Troy Junction; that line
would be built from Blue Rapids or Wa
terville to MarysVille, and that the Central
Branch from this city to Watervile would
be relayed with steel rails, in order to pro-
vide for the largely increasing traffic over
it. These changes will give this city out
lets it never before had, over both the ST.
Joseph and Denver and Kansas Pacific
The new route from Grand Island on the
Union Pacific, via Atchison TO St. Louis
will be the shortest and most direct line
the west affords between the Pacific coast
and Missouri and the extension Of the
Central Branch to a connection with the
Kansas Pacific near the west line of the
State will make the shortest and most
direct route from Denver to the Missouri
river. Mr.. Gould Indicated that all of the
traffic passing over bis Kansas and Colo
rad0 roads and i Union Pacific for ST. Louis
and the east would center at this city.
ST JOSEPH Dec. I.-Jay Gould spent
few hours here to day inspecting his
bridge and other railroad property He
sent letter to the board of trade asking
for a donation of $4,000 to aid in extend
ing the Missouri Pacific to this city. Ten
thousand dollars was subscribed on the
spot. aud SUBSCRIPTIONS increased to 500
900 during the afternoon. The whole
amount will be made up tomorrow. and
the track will be laid at once. Gould will
build new union depot here during the
coming year.
DENVER. Dec, l.-Jay Gould having
offered $500, 600 to the county of Arapahoe
for the county's stock 10 the Denver Pacific
and Denver Il South Park Railroad, the
former connecting Denver and Cheyenne,
and the latter pointing towards Leadviile,
al election takes place tomorrow to uecide
whether the proposition will be accepted |
The stock amounts to 81, 100000, but that
of the Denver Pacific, 81 100000, is not
considered OF any value. There is little
interest in the subject, and the vote will be
small
