Who WUi be Ats Successor?

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Feb. 9.-Who will be
chosen to succeed Mr.. Merrill in the general
managership Of the st. Paul system is mat
ter of great interest in railroad circles. The
Office will be filled by the directors, but the
opinion Of Alex Mitchell, the president of
the company, will most probably have com
handing weight in making the appointment.
II is known that the matter has been extern
sively canvassed during the latter part
of the period covering Mr. Merrills disabil-
ity. Roswell Miller, the assistant general
manager, is known to stand high in the con-
fidence of Mr.. Mitchell, who has recently
spoken of him as one OF the coming great
railroad men of the day. This would indi
cate that he will be Mr.. Merrill's successor.
J. G. Gault has been spoken of in connec-
ton with the place. His long experience
aud general acquaintance at the west
render him most useful man In
the relations of the great railroads to the
public Mr. Gault was for number of
years general superintendent of the st
Paul system under M Merrill as general
manager, and retired from that position in
1879 to become general manager Of the Wa
bash system. II is not probable that action
in the matter will be taken right away.

Many sensational rumors have been pub
company, and many are inclined to believe
that the corporation has ceased to exist. But
it is not so, and the managers are, while
awaiting developments in securing transport
alton over the Omaha and Northwestern
roads, making complete arrangements
for the operation of the company.
Over $4,000 worth of stationery, messenger
safes, wagons and other equipments have
been purchased, aud are ready to be put to
use any time. The trouble with the Omaha
in the latter's refusal to grant the Continen-
tai company the right to do business over the
line is not so great as many believe. The
Omaha offered to carry express matter for the
Continental at the same rate they charge the
American company, but the former does not
require the facilities necessary for such
large business as is done by the American
Express company and therefore would not
accept the Omaha terms.
Col. Clougb, counsel for the Northern Pa
chic road, was about to institute suit against
the Milwaukee road at Chicago in behalf of
the Continental ompany, but he is awaiting
other formulas which will perhaps result as
he wants them without the aid of law The
Continental men state that the company was
organized to stay aud it will be operating be-
fore long.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9. A recent dispatch from
Cleveland intimated that the Chicago d At
lantic and Cincinnati, Hamilton 81 Dayton
companies might, in the near future, sever
their connection with the Erie, and form an
alliance with the Vanderbilt line. This was
generally regarded as very improbable
rumor, but it has developed that there is
very strong probability that such step will
be taken. A prominent eastern railroad Of
fcial passing through the city yesterday,
said that a move of that kind was contem-
plated by President Jewett chiefly on ac-
count of the manner in which the Erie peo-
Pile had been treating the Atlantic, and Haml-
ton & Dayton. He said that the general i'm
preston that the Erie owned controlling
interest in the Chicago u Atlantic was er-
