G0ULD'S BIG SCHEME.
TO COMBINE READING, RICHMOND
TERMINAL, 8. & o., AND OTHERS.
A Transcontincntni Line with tho North
ern Pncihcs-Eastern
Terminal
Ispecial ,elecram o tne pIapn,sh.l

PHILADELPHIA, February 5.-Jay Gould
has gone South on tour of railroad in
speetion with John II. Inman and other
officials Of the Richmond Terminal and
Louisville and Nashville. When ne re-
turns the plans for a big railroad deal will
be completed and the wand Of the Little
Wizard be made more effective than ever
Three years ago it was shown that Jay
Gould was endeavorirg to obtain control
of the Atchison, Richmond Terminal, Bal
timore and Ohio, and the Reading, to-
gether with the Jersey Central, and posi-
bly, the Lackawanna. Since then he has
accomplished part Of his purpose and the
Atchison and Richmond Terminal are prac-
tically in his possession.
THE OBJECT OF TIE TRIP.
With these lines linked with the Missouri
and Northern Pacifcs. one of which he
owns. and having big financial pull with
the other, Gould will have practically
transoontinental line with a greater mile
age than that of any other system, but
there are certain connecting matters to be
worked up. and TO accomplish this is the
object of Gould's present trip. The eastern
terminus of the Richmond Terminal is not
entirely favorable rs point of export, and
that road practically pays tribute to the
Pennsylvania in the shape of reshipments.
TRAFFIC AGREEMENT.
The Baltimore and Ohio is factor in
the situation. and audible report states
that Gould has dickered with its manage
ment so successfully and with the Read
ing and Jersey Central that now he is as
sured of traffic agreement that will eff
fectively cut out the Pennsylvania on
Inbound freight
ANOTHER DEAL.
Another blow at the same interest will
be, if effectual. a deal between Gould and
the Louisville and Nashville. by which the
latter's freight is to be diverted from the
Pennsylvania. This deal has been under con-
sideration for more than year. Its con-
clusion within the next ten days is more
than probable.
IN CONFERENCE.
Gould's confidential legal adviser was in
Philadelphia to-day and in conference, so
it was said, with the Reading people, on
Fourth street, but neither he nor the Read
ing officials would give out any thing for
publication
