st. Louis, Mo-, June 29.-One Of the prin.
cipal difficulties in the way of st. Louis at
tainifg the position to which she Is Justly
entitled as great railway center by virtue OF
her geographical position and any other ad>
vantages, ia the lack OF terminal faculties
They are ss.onishiDgy inadequate for
handling the freight and pas
seDger business now done here
and stand as bar to future increase. In
view of these facts 1t Is Of inter at to know
that st. Louis is to have a new union depot
Heretofore they have been the bridge COM
paDy, tunnel company, transit company and
union depot company. The bridge
and tunnel companies are con
trolled by the Gould interest,
wniie the depot and transit companies are
controlled by Cincinnati parties. The plan
in contemplation is to combine these differ
ent companies in one gigantic corporation,
under Gould's control. Gould's peculiar
methods OF absorption are already at work.
The Gould party are gradually buying up
the stock ofthe corporation n, and IL is almost
certain that public announcement will be-
made in few days that the different com
panies are under one management. Just
where the new union depot will be located
it seems has not yet been determined upon,
owing to the difficulty in obtaining land
enough to build as large structure Is is
contemplated. The plans now under
consideration are for astructure. two thousand
feet long and wide enough for all roads now
centeriDg here, and several more are to be
built. The project altogether is on a scale
that will compare with the
great Gould's usual manner
Of doing things of this kind
Deputy United States Marshal Wheeler,
reached this city to-day with j. A. WhitteD,
d. e. Whitlen and T. M. Simpson, of
Oregon county, Mo-, who have been indicted
by the United States grand jury for
conspiracy to de raud the government by
fraudulent land entries and perjuries
in connection with the same. Simpsons case
is an argument in favor of the theory that
crime is hereditary, as his father, who WAS
probate Judge of Oregon county, and also
figured as II greenback candidate for con-
gress, has been incarcersted for di-tilliDg,
and an uncle and aunt we're convicted and
are under punishment for transaction in
