There is not much said in Fort Worth

now, but the boys here are anxious to
get the morning papers. This is occa-
stoned by the promiscuous manner in
which the axe has been swung around in
Union Pacific territory recently. The
deoapitations up above have caused an
itching sensation about the boys necks
down here and they know not when the
tomahawk may begin its bloody work at
the Texas end. 1t appears that the re-
tirement of Trainmaster j. W. Dickinson
-vas a little more sudden than it was

In fact he knew nothing about 1t himself
until his successor, Mr.. J. V. Good, had

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK. June 23.--There is now
little doubt that an alliance has been
made between the Atchison and Missouri
Pacific, but the details of agreement are
yet to be considered, and no public an
nouncement will be made until fully an
ranged. Chairman Magouu is yet in
Boston, and daily meetings have been
held by the Atchison directors to discuss
the matters involved. 1t is understood,
that Jay Gould has forwarded all books
and papers relating to the business Of the
Missouri Pacific, and this leads many to
believe an absorption of the Missouri Pa
cific by the Atchison is intended. 1t Is
rumored on the street that such propo-
sition is being discussed on basis of an
exchange of two shares of Missouri Pe<S
cific for three shares of Atchison. An
other report that lease OF the Missouri
Pacific for per cent. dividend per an
nun stock Is being considered.

that could be asked. Immigration from
all directions is pouring into the Pan
