BY THE purchase of Col SCOTS
interest in the Texas Pacific Rail
road Jay Gould secures complete
control of that important thorough
fare, and lacks possession of the
Northern Pacific to fill the measure
of his trans-continental ambition.
AS to Col. Scott, this last negotia-
tion means his final and permanent
retirement from the field OF railroad
enterprise, in which he has achieved
fortune, reputation and conspicuous
success. His achievements, how
ever, have only been wrought at the
expense of more or less physical i'm
pairment, and the condition of his
health, though not particularly
alarming, is now such that he is
compelled to relinquish altogether
the cares and responsibilities of bus
mess.
