ohio and Mississippi and Its Future
Prospects.
CINCINNATI, March 22.-lnlcSS certain
agreements between Mr.. Gould and Mr..
Garrett have bcrn perfected or will he per-
fected within the next two weeks. there IS
every reason to believe that the attempt to
take the Ohio and Mississippi Road out of
the hands OF Receiver will be follow
ed by defeat The CARROTS hold
the majority of the bonds and
stock, but they do not hold two-thirdo OF
the stock, which would be required to
place the road in the hands Of thu stock
holders. Mr.. Gould owns sufficient stock
to hold the edge, rs ii were. With.
| out the vote of the stock owned
| by Mr.. Gould, or u part OF il, there IS
| no possible way by which tue road can be
| taken from the control Of the Receiver, II
| is a well known fact that ii is the desire ui
! the CARROTS and the Baltimore and ohio
interest to have the road free from debt
! and controlled by the stockholders.
The question is 10 be- voted upon on the
| 9th proximo. at Flora, Illinois. Before
! Mr.. Garrett can do as he would like, in re-
| moving the road from the control OF the
! United States Court, he must ask Mr..
| Gould to vote with him in the matter.
There seems to he a plan or rather
rumors of plan, by which the con-
! test can be settled i'll favor of Mr.. Garrett

dition that Mr. Garrett make like conCes-
Sions to him with reference 70 certain Bal
timore snd Ohio Telegraph stock. II this

antagunism TO the CARROTS in their

will. on the 9th OF April be taken out OF

doubtless give TO Mr.. could that which he

compromise of some kind must be elcted
