THE RAILROADS.
JAY GOULD TO FURNISH PLENTY OF
FRUIT CARS.
Shippers to Be Well Provided With Re-
frigerator Cars-A Large Excursion to
the East-Notes.

Jay Gould has completed arrangements
for the use by the Southern Pacific lines
of his refrigerator cars. There has been
complaint by fruit shippers of car short
ages, and of the lack OF proper cars for
the movement of perishable fruit. To
meet this requisite of the fruit trade, Jay
Gould has sent out E. E. McCammon as
division freight agent and coast repre-
sentative of the American Refrigerator
Transit company. He arrived in San
Francisco on Thursday with R. S. Nc
Allister, the general freight agent, whose
headquarters are at st. Louis. These
cars will now be stationed at different
points where shippers require them,
and will also be kept at the Southern
Pacific yards in sufficient numbers to
meet any demand, and will pay mileage
fees for the use of the tracks. Jay Gould
is the president of the company, and ID.
S. II. Smith, who is the treasurer of the
Missouri Pacific, is also the treasurer of
this enterprise, showing the intimate
connection of the two. Agency offices
are to be opened at once in San Fran
cisco.
