An Arrangement Between tho Union and
Central Pacific Roads.

An Arrangement Between tho Union and
Central Pacific Roads.
New York, Nov. 16-It was announced
on Wall street this afternoon that an
important agreement han been entered
into between the rival trans.contincntal
railroad companies, by which their in
terests, which have been SO conflicting
and the cause of so many battles in the
courts, had at last been united by an
amlcable settlement. twas ascertained
ut the Office of one of the corporations
concerned that the agreement, while it is
not yet fully signed and executed, had
been virtually entered into. The real
and contracting parties arc, of course,
the two great capitalists who control the
destinies of the rival interests-.on the one
side Mr.. G. P. Huntington, president Ct
the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
railroad companies, and en- the other
side Mr.. Jay Gould, president of the
Texas Pacific railroad company, and the
representative of the New Orleans Paci-
tic, Missouri Pacific, Kansas and Texas,
st. Louis, Iron Mountain and Texas, and
the International aud Great Western.
These railroads include both of the trunk
lines and the connections necessary east
of the Mississippi by which it is possible
to reach the eastern seaboard. There
are several roads practically included in
the agreement, but rs they are eastern
connections Of one or the other compan-
les named, and are controlled by the
management of either Mr.. Gould or Mr..
Huntington, it is not necessary that they
should be included IN the agreement.
The terms of the contract are said by
an Official connected with one of the
companies to be substantially MS follows:
Mr.. Huntington is accorded by Mr..
Gould the long contested tight to inter-
sect the tracks of the Missouri Pacific
within eighty miles of New Orleans, and
he is given the perpetual right to the
joint use of the Gould railroad to and
from New Orleans on the lines of all the
reciprocal arrangement by which they
pany, with pro rata milenge| division of
the earnings All the receipts from
freight and passengers are 10 be pooled,
and the earnings divided according
to percentage arranged with regard to
the present, and as far as possible the
future business and importance Of the
road. The details of this division oil
earnings could not be learned with accu.
racy, and it is probable that they will
not be made public in full until the con.
tract has been formally executed. In all
cases it is provided where disputes may
arise in future between the respective
parties to the contract, that the matte,
is to be referred to friendly arbitration
if the matter in dispute is one specifical
" met in the agreement. All pending
litigation between any of the companies
concerned is to be withdrawn, and 6
number of suits now on trial in the
courts of several different states will b,
discontinued at once.

Guitcau's manner seems TO have un.
dergone marked change since the early
days Of the trial, and during tho delivery
Of his short speech this was particularly
noticeable. At the conclusion be settled
back in his chair with An air of exhaus-
tion, and rested his head on his hand
wearily, while a careworn expression ap-
peared upon his face.
Scoville then addressed the jury at
considerable length. Much, he SAID, that
has been introduced in evidence thus fer,
to his mind, should have NO bearing upon
the case. All men shared the same opin.
ION relative to the suffering Of the presi.
dent. II was not pleasant TO contemp.
late these things, and when they were
presented to the jury they must
exercise an influence. The only
question, however, for the jury to
consider was whether the pr,sone,
killed the president or whether at the
time he was in such . condition mental.
ly as to render him responsible for hla
action. The speaker. with no attempt al
oratorial efFeet, presented in . plain,
matter Of fact manner, the points which
he proposed to make and upon which
the defense would rely.

Mysterious Disappearance.

0-sS-.~-
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 2l.-Tucker Be-
sham. of Independence. Mo, who was
sentenced to ten years in the penltenti-
ary for completely in the Glendale train
robbery, and was pardoned to testify as
a witness for the state against Bill Ryan
who was recently tried and convicted for
the same offense, has left the country in
q sudden and mysterious manner, and
his whereabouts are entirely unknown.
Basham's testimony convicted Ryan
and gave the entire gang away.
Before the trial he was
threatened with death if he testified, and
during his trial his dwelling house was
set on fire, and On attack would have been
made on him had he not been closely
guarded. Since the trial he has received
threatening letters, some signed Jesse,
some Ed. and supposed to mean Jesse
James and Ed Miller, and others,
signed "The Boys" Basham had been
very excited for several weeks and the
letters frightened hlm 80 terribly that
he concluded his only hope to escape
their vengeance was to to fly secretly
He took his wife with him, and
left his property, and even his fathel
does not know where he has gone.. The
best posted are firmly of the opinion
that threatening letters were written fol
the purpose of making Basham leave In
dependence, and believe the train robbel
gang will now find out his whereaboutl
and get even with him for his betrayal O
them. The state expected to use Bash
am as q witness against the parties in
dicted for the Blue Cut train robbery
and his evidence was important.
