A VERY BIG DEAL
Eotered Into by the linton Pacific and the
Central Pacific.

Eotered iuto by the Union eac'ho and the
Central Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 12-From
the highest authority is learned that big
deal, involving business running up into
the millions, bss been entered into by the
Union and Central Pacific systems The
compact, which has been kept in the deep
est secrecy, was signed one week ago last
Monday. and the cloud which hovered for
months over these, companies has passed
away, leaving clear eky for the present,
at least until the Union Pacific builds into
Southern Pacific territory. For several
months past the Central Pacific has fought
the Union Pacific to the extent of 60
ing into Eastern Nevada, carrying
freight through the State down through
California. and the east by the Sunset fast
freight to New Orleans, where ii is sent
to Chicago via the Illinois Central. If the
freight was billed 10 New York and the far
east, it was carried from New Orleans by
Huntington's line of steamers. This war
fare on the Union Pacific, of course, took
dollars out OF their pockets, aud in retail
alton, the Union Pacific bought line Of
steamers plying between this city aud Pert
land, Oregon, sending wool, fruit, etc, at
cheap rates, via the Oregon Short Line,
thence connecting with the Union Pacific
main line and connections to Chicago and
elsewhere, making much quicker time than
the Central and Southern Pacific and
getting back at their rivals in q
shape which alarmed the magnates Of
the last named system. This is about the
time of year when almost all of tine Cali
fornia fruit shipments are made and some
thing had to be done to get that trade.
The Central Pacific accordingly made q
proposition to the Union Pacific that If
they (the Union Pacific would discontinue
the taking of any overland freight by
steamer to Portland, the Central Pacific
would sign contract to run a through
freight from San Francisco TO Ogden. con-
Meeting with the Union Pacific. Both sys-
TENS came to terms, and thus the Central
Pacific resumes its monopoly of the over
land freight business and leaves the traffic
of Nevada and adjacent States and Terri
tories to the Union Pacific.

THE BELT LINE.

A Prospect That Msit'rs VIII be Amica-
by Arranged arfi Agreed To.
There was great deal Of talk about The
city, yesterday, concerning the pegotia-
tiors between the Council Committee on
Railroads and the representatives and offi-
cials of the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal
Railroad Company, as to the terms Of the
ordinance 10 be introduced into Council
tomorrow evening.
During The day scme Of the members OF
the committee and quite q number of citi-
zeus visited the locality abont CaldwelI's
run, and made study OF the ground along
that portion Of the Iun proposed to be
straightened, and there was general ex-
preston of the opinion that the improve
ment in contemplation wonld be Of great
public benefit, both to the city and the
railroad company.
LAST evening Mr.. Brandfsss, Of the com
mittee, said
"Ihsre seems 10 be misapprehen
that the committee 10 attempting to grind
down the railroad company. Tbst is rot
the fact. TIE COMMITTEES ia simply at
tempting TO discbsrge its duties 10 the
public. / am satisfied that ths expeHdi-
ture by the Railroad Company in straish-
tenipg the run, down TO alley d, would
not cost the Company more that ten thou
saBd dollars, and possibly not 30 much.
Under the circumstances, that does not
appear to he a hardship. Or course,
the forfeiture clause, introduced in the
commit'ee, but later stricken out,
was a little rough, bus that is all past
and over. II the company will siraighten
the run to alley D, the city can take hold

ton will be forever removed from city az

tina, it would not do to allow the company
to straighten the run to the west side Of
Eoff street and there leave it, because it
would make almoet a right angle in the
course of the stream, and in time OF food
the current would inevitably cut its way
through acroes the lots and streets TO the
weet."
From what could be gathered, yester-
day, there is q prospect that the bridging
