G0uId's Next Game.
Chicago Tribune.

For several days past the managers OF
the Atchison' Topeka & Santa Fe rail.
load have been holding a conference
with Jay Gould and the principal men,
bers of his syndicate. No reliable in
formation regarding the object of these
meetings has thus far been received, but
it is believed that they are being held
for the purpose of effecting union of
interest between the Boston syndicate
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and the Gould combination. That it is
the design of Gould and his partners to
get control of all the routes leading to
the Pacific, or such contemplated routes
as have Pacific charters, has long since
been demonstrated. They have thus
far succeeded in obtaining control of all
such routes except those of the At
Gibson, Topeka d Santa Fe and st.
Louis q San Francisco. Gould made a
gallant fight to secure the St. Louis &
San Francisco and its Atlantic q Pacific
charter, but the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe got ahead of him, and formed
an alliance with that road. Since then
frantic efforts have been made by Gould
to break the treaty between those
roads. In order to defeat all attempts
of this kind on the part of Gould, the
Atchison, Tapeka & Snta Fe, it is stated,
has perfected arrangements to consoli-
date with the st. Louis & San Francis
co, and it is predicted that the CONSOLE
dation will be made inside of month.
Gould, thus seeing himself baffled in
his attempts to get into the territory of
the Atchison, Topeka Il Santa Fe and
cut this road off from eastern and west
ern connections, it is but natural that
he should take other means to obtain
his end, and it is therefore not surpris-
ing that he entered into negotiations
with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
people to bring about union of in
terests. Both these syndicates have in
vested their capital to make money,
and this they could not do by entering
upon war of determination, and there
ore both are showing willingness to
pool issues. BY making a combination
with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
Gould will be still able to carry out his
designs, as he can thereby control the
Pacific rates to suit himself, though he
has to allow the Boston syndicate to
pocket a share of the profits. 1t is
claimed that an amicable arrangement
has been determined upon by the two
parties, and that they are now perfect
ing the details for pooling their bust
ness

er diseases nearly allied to it, were at
tributablc TO the Centennial visitation,-
the neglected drainage, criminal in
sufficiency OF water closets and bad
plumbing. These conditions so preem-
inently manifest at the Centennial, and
apparently to an extraordinary degree
in Philadelphia even yet, as judged by
the prevalence of typhoid-fever, are
of all cases of mortality, the most Grim

water closets inadequately provided
with means for speedy and
complete cleansing and aeration are

session a scheme of postal notes, in am
plifcation ofth money order system.
The idea is to issue notes of Is, 6s-,
los, 20s.,the two first to be charged one
penny each, two latter to be paid two
pence each. These notes are to be
PAYABLE at any savings bank or money
order office, and will be sold in books
as well as singly, so that the necessity
of going to money order office every
time money IS to be transmitted and
between certain hours of the day will
be avoided. 1t is a proposal for small
paper currency, and ike postal savings

Fighting with an UctODus.

The occupation of a diver is one that
offers but little attraction to those who
have no fancy for exploring
the mysteries of the deep" 1t is,
however, not so monotonous an
employment as might be imagined, and
divers occasionally meet with exciting
adventures while engaged in their la
bors. One of these the other day fell
to the lot of a government diver in Vic
toria, Mr.. Smalle, while at work on the
bed Of the Moyne river, at Belfast, in
that colony, and from the account he
gives of it in The Melbourne argus it
must have been more exciting than
pleasant. Having thrust his arm into
a hole, he found that cit was held by
something; the action of the water was
stirring up the clay, and therefore
could not see distinctly for few min
utes but when it did clear away / saw
to my horror the arm of q large octo-
pus entwined around mine like n boa
constructor; just then he fixed some Of
his suckers on the back of my hand,
and the pain was intense. felt as if
my hand was being pulled to piecs and
the more | tried to take it away the
greater the pain became; and from past
experience l knew this method would be
useless; but what was to do lying in
this position? had the greatest difficult
ty in keeping my feet down, as the air
rushed along the interior of my dress
and inflated it; and if my feet had got
uppermost should soon have become
insensible, held in such position; and
also, If | had given the signal to be
pulled up, the brute would have held
on, and the chances whould have been
that / should have had q broken arm.
I had hammer by me, but could not
reach down to use it on the brute.
There was q small iron bar aout FIVE
feet from me, and with my foot dragg-
cd this along until could reach it with
my left hand. And now the fight COM
menced; the more | struck him the
| tighter he squeezed, until my arm got
quite benumhed. after while found

PIE is vile, because it is indigestible,
inexcusable and mysterious. 1t is in
digestible because of the very nature
of its composition; it is ineXcusable be-

it in place Of food, and it is mysterious

IrRoM TIE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, April S.-Two years ago. when the
demand for the repeal of the Bankrupt law was al
most universal among business men, The TRIBUNE
suggested editorialy that it would not be strange if
public opinion would soon demand the enactment
Of new bankrupt law as strongly it then called

The time has not yet como when public opinion
demands the enactment Of new bankrupt law as
strongly it called for the repeal Of the old one two
years ago. Nevertheless movement has already
been set on foot for legislation on this subject
A bill was introduced IN the Senate last week by
Mr. Conklng prepared by Judge Lowell of Massa-

by many of the most prominent merchants and
manufacturers in the country, well by eminent
jurists and practicing lawyers. who, almost with

of Congress.
Judge Lowell has attempted to retain those pOr-

THE REMAINING yEw-YORK CENTRAL STOCK BOUGHT
FROM MR.. VANDERBILT SOLD TO AMERICAN AND
EUROPEAN CAPITALISTS.
The syndicate. which 10 November bought 100000
shares of New-York Central stock from William II.
Vanderbilt, yesterday completed successfully
the marketing not only Of its own stock
but also Of 100000 shares sold for the personal
account of Mr.. Vanderbilt The transaction was
concluded by tho sale of little more than 100 900
shares the remainder In the possession OF tho syudi
cate to prominent bankers and capitalists in this
country and England. The stock was sold
at 131. and tho purchase money, amounting 70
about $14 200, 900, is to he paid next Tues
day. This sale completes within five months tho
largest sale of stock made by private person.
Mr.. Vanderbilt will have received from 1t, on the
closing Of the syndicate. over $40, 600. 600.
The syndicate will have gained a profit
on the transaction of nearly $3,000000
subject only to the cost of marketing the stock. The
terms of the agreement between the members OF the
syndicate gave 1t until the close Of the present year
in which to dispose of the stock But the ssle yes-
terday finishes the work within five months. the
original sale having been completed on November

have urged for some time that tho stock should be
sold. At meeting Wednesday afternoon, at the
office Of Drexel, Morgan & Co., it was decided that
1t should be sold and assurances were given that
the whole amount would be taken. Offers
for the stock at the agreed price asked this
understanding. At 10 a. 10. yesterday the stock
was declared sold and the applications had been 20
numerous that the purchasers will receive only so
per cent of their subscriptions. Among the firms and
persons who have bought the stock are
E. ID. Morgan & Co., L. Won Hoffman
& Co., ,Drexel & Co, Of Philadelphia
August BrlmonG & Co., j. Il w. Seligman e. Co.,
Morton, Bliss & Co., Winslow. Lanier g. Co.. Jay
Could Russell Sage, Cyrus w. Field, Sidney Dillon,
Heber r. Bishop NJ. K. Jesup, Patton e.
Co., and G. F. WoerishoAer q Co. Others
share IN tho purchase, and among the
subscribers are wealthy capitalists at London,
Philadelphia and Boston. The demand from
anticipated, and to this was due the excess Of the
subscriptions.
One of the prominent buyers said yesterday that
if the subscriptions had been kept open two hours
longer the subscribers would not have received
more than 80 per cent OF their original
proposals. The purchase is made entirely on che
personal account of the buyers and the stock will
be delivered to them according TO their subscrip-
lions. on the completion Of the sale on
Tuesday. Much of 1t, 1t is said, has been
bought for investment, but it s probable that part
qualified satisfaction was expressed by the mem.
bers of the syndicate at the success OF the ransac.
tion and the now buyers were exultant over taeir
purchase.
