ST. LOUIS, Dec. 29.-Gen. Hubbard, in
behalf of the purchasing committee of the
Wabash railroad, made verbal application
to-day to the circuit court that it make an
order directing the receivers to give posses

property purchased by it, and define the
terms upon which such possession shall be
given. Gen. Hubbard explained the func-

any positive expression on the point, asked
Gen. Hubbard to make his application in
writing. and adjourned the court to enable
him to nrenare it.

Grafton of Mr.. Governs proposition for the
purchase of the Vanderbilt interest
Gowen offers bond of Is cents on the dol
lar for such money as has been put into the
company by the Vanderbilis and their
friends. This proposition was favorahly
received, and a committee appointed to
draw up an agreement embodying these
ideas They will draw up two agreements.
One will be to the effect that the under
signed agree to sell their interest in the
South Pennsylvania and bind themselves to
take bonds for the same.
THE OTHER AGREEMENT
will be for such stockholders as are willing
to go Oh and build the road and put more
money into it.
"Who win sign the sell-out agreement
"All the Vanderbilts and those connected
with them will no doubt sign it. About
S5,000,000 of the stock will thus be trans
ferred TO US. This will give us two-lhirds of
all the stock
''Who will agree to stay and go on with the
building?'
''Well, so far we have definite assurances
from number of gentlemen. Mr.. Bagaley
and myself will put in our So, 900, and ii is
probable that Mr.. Carnegie and his friends
will join us. We have not talked the matter
over yet. but will do so next week. This will
bring to US $4,000 600 more. OF the others, Mr..

The doctor said there would probably be
a foreclosure and sale to free the company
from all the embarrassments and legal
tangles in which it has become involved.
There would also be some slight changes in

CAN THIS BE TRUE
A Charge That the RuriingtO Is
Violating q Truce.

There has been rumor afioat for several
days to the effect that an agent of the Bur-
lingtOn & Northern road went to Faribault
few days before Christmas and sold to
twenty students tickets to Chicago from
St. Paul, and that the Milwaukee road
brought them to st. Paul, where the trans
fer was made.
The rumOr has created considerable talk
in railroad circles, and it is doubted If the
Burlington agent did do this, if it will make
anything out of it in the long run. 1t is
the general impression that a line with its
northwestern terminus in st. Paul, and no
branches, would be obliged to offer extra
inducements to get passengers from local
point on another line that could ticket them
through to Chicago without suffering the
Inconvenience of changing trains and
rechecking baggage. If the Burlington did
get the twenty students and did offer them
extra inducements, of course the truce has
been violated. and competing lines are anX-
iouS to discover what the inducements were.
1t is averred that the road gave passes to
Chicago to three young ladies who were
members of the party and thus secured
their influence in getting the remainder of
twenty to take the Burlington route. If
this is fact and it can be proven, there is
liable to be music in the air before many
days. for the new lines are getting tired of
the truce and are only waiting for chance
to kick over the traces. Some OF the roads
have already prepared lot of incendiaTy
quarter sheet posters, to be scattered
through the country when the signal for a
fight shall be given. The truce has been
extended until Feb. 1. but there is prob
ability that there will be a break before that
date is reached. In regard to the getting
of the students from Faribaut and issuing
passes to the ladies, the Burlington officials
say there is nothing in it, but this will not
settle the matter and the investigation will
go on until the other lines are satisfied that
there is no truth in the rImOr
