the bridge and terminals. under an agree
ment which Includes practically guar
antee Of the interest on the brlSe com
pany's bOnSs. The total cost Of the bridge
and terminals, together with the cost OF
constructing necessary connections for the
Chesapeake and Ohio, will aggregate be,

from Chicago, from BENTON Harbor, on

outlet to Louisville Is by way Of the Lou

Southwestern. The Chesapeake and ONO
now runs into Louisville over the Louis
Vile and Nashville tracks. Negotiations
for a friendly traffic agreement between
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern and
President Ingalls, lines have already
reached a satisfactory point. There Is 1T
tie doubt Of their resulting in a mutually
satisfactory ARRANGEMENT. II they should
Fan through the Big Four and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio would no doubt feel
Obliged 10 build line Of their own from

II is thought probable that the Chesa-

arrangement to get into Louisville over
