Special to the Star.
LOUISVILLE March ga Post and News
special from Nashville says: Col. e. w.
Cole, President, and the Directors of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis Rail
way left yesterday afternoon for Louisville
on business connected with the sale of the
st. Louis & Southeastern and Owensboro &
Nashville Railroads.
They are expected to return to-day. De-
velopments of the last few days point
strongly to the fact that Col. Cole will yet
master the railroad situation, become head
OF pet scheme from st. Louis to the sea,
and seriously cripple the Louisville, Nash
vile Il Great Southern system.
He has shrewdly had the stockholders of
the Nashville & Chattanooga Road to order
the sale of the st. Louis & Southeastern
and Owensboro & Nashville Roads, which
sale is to be managed by the directors of
the Nashville & Chattanooga Road, Coles
friends, who will sell to him and his CO.
adjutors.
The Louisville & Nashville managers,
controlling the majority of the Nashville &
Chattanooga stock consented to this sale.
A majority of stock of the Nashville &
Decatur Road is held in Tennessee, and
when the present lease expires Cole can OBJ
tain this road if lie so desires
1t is secret here that Cole and his friends,
Nashville men, are buying Memphis &
| Charleston Road stock.
Cole controls the Western 4 Atlantic,
and so his line is complete, and not over a
hundred miles longer than at first con.
templated.
Thisis not all. Cole has been offered the
Presidency of the Cincinnati Southern, and
he is in close alliance with Messrs. Wilson
and McGhee. of the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia d Georgia Road.
