All About the West Shore.

The report again comes that the West Shore
has passed into the control of Vanderbilt, but
Gould is associated with him this time Van
derbit will get rid of a dangerous competitor
which parallels his New York Central from one
end to the other, aud at the same time secure a
first class connection for his white elephant, the
Nickel-pate. He also prevents his hated rival,
the Grand Trunk. from securing control OF til e
West Shore. Gould's object is said to he to secure
a direct outlet To New York for the Wabash over
the Nickel-plate and West Shore. In the mean
time, arrangements are progressing for inaugu-
rating new trunk line between New York and
Chicago over the West Shore and Grand Trunk,
although it is admitted that the rumored lease
OF the former by the latter has not been consum-
mated. W. K. Niven is to be general superin-
tendent of the West Shore

The American Midland.

The American Midland railroad, the contract
for the construction of which was awarded at
Buffalo yesterday TO George Potts, is TO extend
from Fort Wayne to Your gs-own, o., a distance
OF 232 miles, itls to be double track, and built
in the most substantial manner While the
backing of the enterprise is a mystery, indica-
lions point to Gould interest in connection
with it. 1t is surmised that. since the line will
make direct connection at Fort Wayne with the
Wabash. it will be a Gould interest, and that 1t
will furnish an outlet for West Shore business.
