According to the Chicago Times the
latest rumor is that the Wabash and Chi
cazo and Eastern Illinois railroads are to
be amaIgamated, The information is
credited to Mr. Humphreys, president OF
the Wabash. who is reported to have
mentioned the fact to friend during his
recent visit to this city, Its claimed that
a large amount of the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois is now held by the heaviest owners
of Wabash, and that the details OF the
amalgamation have been under considers
ton for some weeks past. Everyone has.
of course, added little to the story. SO
that in its present form it not only outlines
the consolidation Of the Wabash and
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, but also
foreshadows the absorption of the Chicago
and Western Indiana railroad. The amsl'
CATION of these two roads was seriously
contem plated during Commodore" Gar
rison's presidency of the Wabash. a
consolidation might be advantageous; but.
until President Hindekoper or some other
person in authority shall verify the report
referred to, il will be safest to assume thai
there il no truth in it,
