Is THIS A NEW ROAD?
RAILROAD CIRCLES SPECULATIVE ON
A RECENT Mc0RP0RaTY0N
CHICAGO, PACIFIC & SUPERIOR
a Revival OF an Outline Project
Possibility That the Illinois
Central Will Enter the Twin
Oities-Receiver Payne on the
Move-Rail News of Local and
General Interest.

A day or two since there appeared In
the morning papers the announcement
by wire of the filing at Madison, Wis.
OF the charter of the Chicago. Pacific 81
Superior railroad. Local railroad men
evince considerable interest In the mat
ter. This line was the old Wisconsin
Central, extending between the Illinois
boundary line aud Superior, and nearly
$4,000 were expended theron. In
1882 the Chicago. st. Paul. Minneapolis
IL Omaha purchased the land grants of
the road, but made no changes in the
road bed, which was allowed to remain
In the same condition as when fore
closed on in 1863
Several theories have been suggested
as to the parport of the recent incorpor-
alton, and as to what Is back of it all.
So%e consider that the move is in the
interest of the Canadian Pacific, to
make. for that line, from Detroit to
Chicago. CO lnectiOn with the Wabash.
Most of the twelve incorporators reside
in the East.
Another suggestion is made that pos
slbly the Illinois Central smav have a
finger in the pie. Should this the
DRY prove correct, it is not improbable
that important developments may be on
the tapis. The Illinois Central has a
line now TO Madison. is solid corpora
ton financially. and does not know the
need of money. It'is.a progressive, as
we'll as an aggressive line, and a great
hustler after business. Its policy for
extending lines is no secret. With its
lines leading from Chicago to New Or
leans and to Sioux City, it draws a profit
by its traffic from the South aud North
west. AS lines of the newly incorporat-
ed road have been authorized to Mime
ap0lis and st. Paul, should the theory
That the Illinois Central is interested in
the move prove true, it would afford
that railway an entrance to the Twin
Cities, which would, IN time, prove of
great value.
Whether these theories are mere idle
vagaries or not, they afford an oppor-
tunity formuch interesting discussion.

Certain Questions.
President Scofield and Secretary

State bank, have been ordered by the
court 10 appear during the coming
week before 5. L. PGttee and answer
all questions that may be put to them
by the plaintiff, the st. Paul &c Mime
apolis Trust company. or by any or all
of the creditors. This order was
granted on the showing made by the
plaintiffs attorney. IL. ID. Stocker, that
the defendants had made loans on in
sufficient security, especially to j. +.
Travis and the Buckeye Publishing
company, and that the defendants were
Interested i'll the business of these par
ties. Atfidayits made by j. F. Travis
and G. IL. Travis were read in court to
the effect that Scotield and Lang were
in no way connected with the business
of the Buckeye company, and that the
loans made by the defendants to the af-
tiants were secured by such collateral as
was considered of value as great or
greater than the loans. Judge Russell,
however, granted the order, and it is
predicted by those who know that the
disclosures will be interesting, mas
much as they many tend TO throw new
light on the status of the Farmers and
Merchants bank and its former meth
DDS of doing business.
