RAILROAD RUMBLE.
Rumors of Changes Oh the international
and the Sunset.
Other Interesting Information Gathered
by Light Spark Arrester.

Many changes are to be made soon in the Of
fees of the Sunset and the international rail-
ternatiOnal is not definitely known, but various
rumOrs all more Or less conflicting, are in cir
culatiOn In consequence the employees mani
fest considerable anxiety.
Regarding the Sunset the assertion is made
that as soon as it is connected with the South
ern Pacific the Huntington syndicate will as
sumo absolute control and dismiss most of the
officers now engaged. Major Converse,
the general manager of the road
has already sent in his resignation
The vacancy thus created will probably be sup
piled by Charles Burton, who is now the super
ntendent of the Texas and New Orleans an!
Louisiana Western railways. Burton has oc-
cupied nearly every position on a railroad, in
Guiding that of brakeman and fireman, and has
a reputation for being one of the best railroad
managers in the country. His appointment
will, ii is said, be largely due to the influence
of his friend cO-wOrker }. +. Crosby, now the
vce-presdent OF the Texas and New Orleans
company, and who is credited with receiving
proposal for a responsible position under the
new management. Col Andrews, it is report
ed, will continue his connection with the road
though the Office he will hold is not even con-
jectured.
Charley Thornton, the trainmaster for the
Texas Pacific will soon take charge of trains
for the International in the stead OF {. G..
Thompson, the present incumbent Of the In
ternatlOnal office.
On and after the first of December Interna-
tional conductors will be assigned to regular
runs, Il change which will be satisfactory to
all.
The work of constructing the New York,
Texas and Mexican railway from Victoria to
brownsville, Il distance of lOi miles, will be
commenced next week, The road is now com
plete from Victoria to ROsenburg VI miles.
A rumOr in circulation, and one that appears
to be well founded, to the effect that the Eas-
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Road has ass
jumed the Indebtedness Of the New orlean'
md Mobile Road, owing to the fact that th
Louisville and Nashville Road has failed to pay
the guarantee on the stock and the interest OH
the bonds The Sency syndicate it is stated,
has used the proceeds derived from the sale OF
arrearage Of the New Orleans and Mobile Road.
In addition to this the syndicate will reconstruct
the Alabama Grand Trunk from Mobile t.
Selma.
John Caldwell of Chicago, and Colonel c
BoudnOt, W. ID. Wylie and F. \. Williams, OF
Dallas, have entered suit in the Dallas circuit
court against the AnglO-American Land anC
(the two last named gentlemen are agents fOl
the association in Cook county, lll) for Sjj,C :,
for balance alleged to be due on stock received
from the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fc railroad
company in the purchase of the Chicago, Texas
and Mex Jean Central railway. Mr.. Walter
Gresham has gone to Chicago for final settle
ment with the Anglo American Land and
cagO, Texas and Mexican Central railroad. The
transaction is badly mixed, but it is thought
that no possible contingency can prevent the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road from per
mancntly getting possession of the transferred
property.
