at the time that the incorporators were
the same persons who some time ago by
articles OF merger obtained at the State
department had secured a continuous
line Of road from Pittsburg 10 Toledo.
Subsequent developments have decided
conclusively that this line, the incor.
poratOrs OF which are not only interest
ed in the New York, Pittsburg and
Chicago railway, but most OF them

great connecting link in jay Goulds

ana. il is stated that Jay Gould il
himself largely interested in the road
and this is the last link in his project
OF a great through line TO the West.
Inc road will be constructed on the
principle Of q through trunk line and
its total length will be five hundred
mlles, about eighty miles shorter than
the Pennsylvania and Fort Wayne
roads. The new line is an assured fact
and the engineer are already at work
on tho route. 1t is expected TO have
the whole line IN operation sometime
, early IN lss3. Nothing in regard to the
eastern outlet has a. vet been definitely
announced.
From the above it is to be inferred
tha! Mr Gould has accomplished one
purpose AT last. viz securing the con.
Meeting link IN his Wabash system.
/ The fact tbst the incorporators and
leading stockholders are heavily inter.
ested IN Wabash would Of itself alone
be sufficient 70 set all doubts al rest.

BELLEFONTE Pa, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4 1881.

EX-SENATOR CoNKLING spent a
few days last week in Washington as
the guest of Senator Jones, of Nevada.
He called at the White House to show
his sympathy for the wounded Presi-
dent, and left u pleasant message for
Mrs. Garfield. He declined to be in
terviewed politically, and his friends
say, is absolutely out Of politics and
does not intend to be held responsible
for the result of the election in New
York. That was to be expected. His
party having rejected him and placed
the management in other hands, it
will doubtless require n loud call and
the most humiliating entreaty to in
duce the late boss to come to the res
cue of the party in the extremity it
is likely to encounter at an early day.
Humility and entreaty, however, have
great influence upon Conkling. 1t
was these that drew him from his sulk.
ing retirement in the Presidential elec.
tion and carried General Garfield into
the Presidential chair. But the case
is somewhat different now. Believing
himself the victim of perfdy, and
smarting under indignities he had not
deserved from his party, the wounded
lion will remain quiet in his lair
watching the opportunity for revenge
upon those who have sought his degra-
dation. lie has the advantage of posi-
tion now, and may choose his own
time to deliver the battle, which is
sure to come in due course.
