bind up in one great combination the New.York and
New England, the New York. New Haven and Hart
ford the New York Central the Boston and Maine and
the Reading system. Some Ol the reports sprang
up here in New-York and Others came by telegraph
from Boston and Philadelphia, but all agreed that
some such movement was on foot. one story had 1t
that the presidents representatives. OF the various
corporations named had been seen In conference at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel Friday. and that they were
about ready to make public announcement OF the de-
tails of plan Of operations which had been virtually
decided upon even before Mr.. Parsons assumed the
presidenoy Of w-Eng1and. The scheme was said
to involve changes In the presidcnces and directories
OF the Boston and Maine and the New England roads
and the formation between the lines interested Of a
close traffic alliance similar in character to That IN
force between the Reading, jersey Central, Leligh
Valley and Baltimore and OHIO systems

Me LuD's CAREER IN TEXAs.-" About
the gaycst and giddest foreigner have
ever seen was Lord Ayleshire," said
Tracy Harrison of Fort Worth, Tex, at
the Lindell. '.He was pensioned by
his aristocratic family in England, and
sent ont to the Texas Panhandle, where
bic ranch was purchased for him.
When Me Lud,' as we used to call
him, was in his sober lapses he was a
surly and a captious sort ola creature,
who considered it 4 mighty favor to the
rest of humanity that he didn't step off
the earth and let it tip up. But when
he was in his cups-and that was his
normal conditlon-he was the most gre
cariouS animal ever saw. / have seen
him spend $500 in a single night at Fort
Worth, and then abuse the town in the
morning because there was nothing else
10 buy. Everybody in sight had to
drink with him, and not only once, but
face the bar until the earth rocked and
slipped from under you.
One striking popularity about Me
Lud was that, though he was an inor-
dinate gambler, he was never known
TO take the money he won. remem-
Der one night of seeing him hit the
bank at the White Elephant gambling
house for So, 200. and Luke Short, the
Proprietor, was nearly wild, but Ayle-
shire, when he could play no longer,
coolly told the dealer to keep the
money, as he had made it rule all his
HE never TO gamble for gain. Short
didn't want to do this, but the English
man was so insistent that the gambler,
to keep peace in his house and hold
Ne Lud's' business at the bar, had to
retain the So, 200. When Ayleshire lost
he made the dealer take his money,
and despite the fact that Short and
others of the more reputable gamblers
tried TO rule the wild Englishman out
OF their games on account of his one
SIDED play they were never able to do it.
i suppose Lord Ayleshire must have
squandered $4,000 at Fort Worth in
Two Years. Several men got rich Off OF
nm there, and l see he has broadened
MS field of operations since being al
lowed to return home, and is now en-
