A RUMORED SALE.
La Porte Road Said to Have Been Pur-
chased by The Southern Pacific.

La Porte Road Said to Have Been Pur-
chased by the Southern Pacific.
Galveston Texas, February ll.--For the
last day or two a story has been floating
around Galveston to the effect that the
Southern Pacific had aDotS concluded the
purchase of the Galveston. La Porte and
Houston railway. The rumor lacks con-
firmation. but there is considerable
Smoke" In II.
a gentleman from 1llionis who was IN
the city yesterday is said to have stated
that he called upon the receivers of the
La Porte and Houston the day previous
for the purpose Of transactng some bust
ness, and they put him of, saying they
had their hands full attending to some
matters connected with the transfer OF
the La Porte road to the Houston and
Texas Central Railway company.
The Post is also informed that IL citizen
of Galveston while walking on the
wharves this morning with "A prominent
grain man from distance was told
that the Houston and Texas Central had
Central was to be i,erged, through lease,
into the Rock Island system
In this conversation II is also stated
that tho grain buyer had some conYersa-
tion with an attache of the wharf com
pany concerning the building of n new
elevator. and that It was settled that the
wharf company had not determined
where the elevator would be located but
it would probably be at the west end.
whore the tracks could be so arranged as
to have loaded cars push the empties
out by gravity, thus avoiding blockados.
Colonel Walter Gresham, attorney for
the La Porte, and one of the chief own
ors, was interrogated about the reported
sale to the Southern Pacific and ren.!ed
that nothing in the way of IA sale could
be affected until the suit now pending is
settled.
This suit is the procedure of the city
Of Galveston to forfeit the charter OF the
Galveston and Western. which has been
absorbed by the La Porte. The case was
argued before the district court of Jlar-
ris county last week, and Judge Brashear
took II under adViscment for several DAYS
Colonel Gresham does not expect de-
cision before tho last of this week.
"All can saw" added Colonel Gresham
lis that if this suit is decided in our
favor things will begin to hum very
! shortly
