Railroad Sensation -Reported Copsolida.
ton.
LOUISVILLE, February 13th.-InteIse ex-
element was created this morning by
the announcement that consolidation, or
contract for five years, had been
entered into between the Louisville
Nashville and Georgia Central Railroads.
Each end of the combination is to conduct its
affairs in its own way. The aim of it is to
New York and Liverpool from Louisville and
Nashville to the same point. The combina-
ton can carry freight at rates that will be
ruinous to the Northern trunk lines. 1t
expects to have large part of
the grain that goes from Chicago
to New York and Liverpool by the northern
routes to take the southern route. 1t has
large steamers plying between Savannah and
New York, and ocean freights are not only
cheaper than rail rates, but cheaper than lake
rates. But not only will it strike for great
part of the Eastern business ; it will make
rates that vii. bring to it great part of the
w 6SL6TD DuslUtss. luiStu, nearly every
ticle that Louisville now imports will come
by way of Savannah, Atlanta and Nashville.
Beath OF Chicago Railroad
Matters.
CHICAGO, February 13th.-Mahlon d.
Ogden, a pioneer settler of Chicago, aged 60,
died this afternoon at Elmhurst, suburb.
He had been very wealthy, but unfortunate
real estate transactions left him in reduced
circumstances
1t seems probable that the Illinois Central
Railroad will shortly enter claim to riparian
rights between the river and Twelfth street,
a distance of mile and half along the
lake shore. embracing what would be tract
of land of immense value, and comprising
about all the harborage in the city.
The General Passenger Agents of the
principal Western roads centering here met
with representatives of the Pittsburg and
Fort Wayne and Wabash roads to adjust
rates. They did not arrive at any satisfactory
conclusion, but incidentally the following i'm
portant correspondence transpired:
OMAHA, February 3th--Mr. Goodman of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad. telegraphs me that San Fran
cisco is full of New York passengers awaiting the
departure of the next steamship, which will sail
February Goth. The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany is Offering through rate OF SIS cabin and S35
Storage, and paying s. commission each Pc ticket
to the hotels, etc. Shall say to Goodman that the
Central Pacific may make such rates as may be
necessary to hold the business, and that you will
share the reduction on the basis OF the present
through proportion? T. L. KIMBALL,
General Passenger Agent U. P. K. X.
4 After full discussion the roads leading
west from here sent the following: ''
The lines east of Kansas City and Omaha will &C
cept pro rata per mile upon any rate which the
Central Pacific makes to meet the rates made by the
Pacific Mail Company to New York, provided the
tickets are limited to one day beyond the actual
schedule time and to be sold at tariff rates, with
drawback on New York to the amount of the reduc-
ton.
This answer was not probably entirely salts
factory to the Central Pacific, as under the
reciprocal arrangement the Central Pacific
proposed that the latter road would get
much larger tariff than under the one to
which the answer refers.
