WILL FHBY COMBINE!
Rumors That the New York
Cable Road Will Consolidate
With the Jersey Trae-
ton Companies.

There. is much talk in New York and
Philadelphia, as we'll as in this city, re-
garding the big street railway deal that
IS said to be under considerat ton. The
deal, tbs said, will bring together in one
organization the Consolidated Traction
of this city and Newark. the Broadway
Gable Company of New York, and the
Philadelphia Traction Company.
This deal, If consummated would make
one of the most gigantic interpretations
in the Eastern States. The amount of
stock represented in the roads of the
three cities of New York. Philadelphia
and Newark is estimated by the millions,
and with a total close to $20O,00O,00O.
Practically, the three companies men
toned are already one, as far as the per-
sonnel of the stockholders is concerned.
That is. the largest stockholders in the
Consolidated Traction Company of this
city are the largest stockholders in the
Broadway Gable Company and in the
Philadelphia Traction Company as well.
John D. Crimmins. known better
through his connection with the Broad
way Gable Company, is not, it Is said,
very heavily interested in the Philadel-
phia Company.
Consolidated Traction Company here, was
not at his Office in the First National
Bank Building today.
A rumor which has been denied by Mr..
David Young, is to the effect that ne
is going to resign, is also being circu-
lated in this city.

THE CANYON CATASTROPHE.
Mexican Government Trying to FIX
the Blame-Brutal " ustzc officials.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 2, 1895.--A City
of Mexico special says that the Mexican
Government has commenced a rigid ex-
animation of the trainmen and officials
of the Inter Oceanic Railroad in an at
tempt to fix the culpabiltty OF the terrible
railway disaster of Thursday upon the
parties to blame. The engineer, con-
ductor and breakmen on the ill-fated
train were examined yesterday and full
Ter reports of the disaster are expected
today
The engineer was John Neufer and the
conductor j. H. Steele both Americans.
The Chief of Police of Tenango. with
some mounted rurales, had the bodies
of the dead laid out on the bank for
identification on the arrival of the relief
train. and refused to permit them to be
brought to the city awaiting complete
official examination of the scene of the
wreck The bodies, terribly mangled. lie
decaying In the sun, piled up like cord
wood. The entre2ties of friends and rela-
tives have thus far been of little avail
in gaining possession of the remains of
the unfortunate excursionists, the great
er part of whom will be buried today In
a great trench being dug near the tracks.
So far as can be ascertained all the
killed and wounded were of the lower
class. No person of any prominence nor
any foreigners were in the accident. The
locomotive engineer Immediately disap-
peared but was afterwards captured at
Chao. He. as well as the conductor and
other trainmen. are. held as prisoners.
