THE NJ & ST. =. AND U. u. ALLIANCE.
The prime cause Of the withdrawal of
Mr. Van Horn from the Milwaukee man
agement and the subsequent appointment
of Mr. J. T. Clark, of the Union Pacific
railroad, to the superintendency OF that
system of roads, is now not so difficult of
comprehension in the light of rumors
now in circulation in regard to the future
policy of these two corporations. The
reorganization of the operating depart
ment of the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
which has just been effected, establishes
a division to be known hereafter
as the Chicago & Council Bluffs divis-
ion, and includes the entire line, from
Chicago to Council Bluffs, where it con-
meets with the Eastern terminus of the
Union Pacific road. The rumor which
intended alliance between the milwaukee,
g. st. Paul and the Union Pacific systems,
seems to have been, in the light of these
events-taken in connection with
the present conference at Omaha
between the Union Pacific and
the Milwaukee officials-well found
ed, and fully explains Superintend-
ent Clark's connection with the Milwau-
kee road and the motives which led to
the sudden and rapid construction of the
Council Bluffs branch of that line.
With a close alliance between these
two roads-which means, practically, a
consolidation of the two roads-an I'M
broken line is established from Chicago
to Denver, where it connects, as does
also the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
with the Central Pacific railroad.
While the alliance between these two
gigantic corporations will be likely to
take the general public by surprise, it
will be the occasion of but little comment
or interest in railroad circles, as it has
been an open secret for several years that
the relations between Gould and Mitchell
are of a very friendly and confidential
character; and to this fact, more than to
any other circumstance, is due the exten-
sion of the Chicago, Burlington s. Quincy
system to Denver

ALou,sv,Ils Msr,ne ACCIDENT.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. ia serious accident
occurred OF the river front at the foot of
Fourteenth street this afternoon, resulting in
the partial sinking of the well known steamer,
Buckeye State The disaster is one of the
worst that has happened in this dangerous
locac.ty. ana created considerable excitement
aud the river front was throp ged with
people gang at the Inflated craft. The boat
engaged in the Pittsburgh trade was coming
down the river and attempted to make land
ing at the foot of Fourth street. She was
backing down while eudeavoring to make the
landing. The pilot drove her back too far
and by So doing placed the stern of the vessel
directly in the current which sweeps over the
head of the dam at this point. The dam
caught the vessel just aft of the boilers and
the shock broke her hull entirely in two.
The stern settled down rapidly and in two
minutes the water was up to the boiler deck.
There were about thirty passengers, among
them a number of ladies. There was loud,
cracking crash when The boat struck, and
Immediately afterwards the craft began wab.
bling from side to side, then settled down in
the water. The crew of the life-saving sta
ton were promptly on hand with boats and
did vigorous and efficient work 10 removing
the passengers and baggage. All were safely
carried to shore and the Paw and Transit
went to the assistance of the sunkeu essel.
