st. Louis, Jan, Texas railro ID interests
are at fever heat here among rsilroan men.
1t is now settled beyend doubt thar Gould
has the International, and there will be
general revolution of affairs in the an
agomeat of the Texas roads. II is under,
stood that the st. Louis Iron Mountain
and Southern, and the l. & q. N. will be-
now thrown into one management from
st. Louis TO Houston. Knowing ones also
assert that Gould virtually bss the g., q, &
II. railroad, and that he has, therefore, ecm-
passed one Of his recently most cherished
de:gns--a trunk line from st. Louis to Gal
weston.
/ l. lis thought by many that the extensive
railroad works now located at Palestine will
all bo removed to st. Louis As con.
sequence there is great anxiety on
the part st the railroad employees
at Pslestine.O Mr.. Hoxie is now
hero. The ques ion among the railroad
circles of paramount interest is as to who
will be given the position Of general superin-
iendent of the through line, from St, Louis
to Houston, and possibly to Galveston. The
contest is between the old veteran, II. M.
lioxie and Superintendent Soper of the
lion Mountain, ST. Louis & Southern. and
with chances largely in favor Of Colonel
lloxie, 1t seems that every movement is
with design to do what is bast calculated 10
reach Texas popularity for tho new
movements on the railroad checker
boards. 1t seems 10 be the accepted
opinion that Colonel Hoxie's merits aro 50
far superior to any other in this direction
that there will not be mach chance in favor
of any other appointment The great pop
ulsrity of Colonel Hoxio with not only the
press but the people Of Texas added 10 his
undoubted capacity as msn of BRAIN
power and unrivaled experiences in railroad
matters, ell combine 10 make his selection
almost foregone conclusion. This will be-
in the nature of triumph for Texas rail-
readers, for be it known that Colonel Hoxie
is noted for his procIivities for "taLing coed
care Of his boys"
