G. G. ". NOT FOR SALE
VICE PRESIDENT OPPENHEIM
TALKS ABOUT THE REVAMPED
RUMOR.
ROAD, he SAYS, DOING WELL.
THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY
ARE PLEASED WITH THEIR
HOLDINGS.
PARTY NOW OUT ON THE LINE
of New York Magnates, as Re
ported in Chicago.

| The story that the Chicago Great
Western railroad is to be consolidated
with some transcontinental line, it ap-
pears, will not down. despite official
denials of it. The Chicago papers re-
vive the yarn, this time with some va
riations. Chief of these is that it is
the Northern Pacific with which the
interests of the Chicago line are to
be linked.
The fact that some of the officers and
stockholders of the Chicago Great
Western with some of their friends
have been making a trip over the line,
gave rise to the rumor that a lot of
the Eastern magnates, most of them
interested in Northern Pacific matters,
were leaving Chicago for a look at the
road in question. In one paper a list of
these railroaders and financ;ers was in
Guided. The single particle of founda-
ton for the tale at all seems to arise
out of the presence in the Chicago
Great Western territory of number of
prominent persons interested in the
Chicago Great Western road, the only
ones mentioned above being President
Stickney and Mr.. Auerbach. The
gentlemen actually in the party were
Frederick Weyerhauser the lumber
man; Mr.. Wright, of Saginaw; Maurice
Auerbach, Albert Lindeke, of Lindeke,
Warner & Schumacher; Kenneth Clark,
Judge ]. w. Lusk, H. E. Fletcher, of
Minneapolis; Andrew Crawford, of Chi
cago. and President Stickney, of the
Chicago Great Western.
Ansel Oppenheim, vice president of
no
yesterday, and when asked last night
regarding the story that the Chicago
Great Western had been practically
consolidated with some other line, had
this to say:
If there IS any arrangement of this
kind l am not aware of it. / think it
would be necessary to consult me be-
fore such deal could be made. Any
sale of our road would probably be of
most advantage to the buyer. The
Chicago Great Western is doing
good business, and the owners Of the
property are pleased with their hold
ings. l know of no desire on their
part to part with their property. 1t is
no wonder such a deal should be
talked of when the Chicago and North
western railway is supposed to control
the reorganization of the Union Pa
cific. The Burlington, the st. Paul,
and the Northwestern are generally ex-
tending their lines into the territory of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. Under the circumstances it is
but natural to suppose that the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways would take measures to protect
their interests. and as the Chicago
Great Western has lines from st. Paul
both to Chicago and the Missouri
river, it might be looked upon as their
most feasible connection"
Mr.. Oppenheim added that the road
had shown an increase in earnings
during the last hafmonth Of August CT
over $27, 0G0, as against the same time
last year, while for the entire month
the increase was nearly $4,000. The
party will return home tomorrow.

Suits on Hand.

the actions being formulated are col
ored citizens. Charles II. Foster,
Charles A. Green, John Fl. Cock and
Gilmore Hays, who, it is alleged, were
refused service at the restaurant yes
terday morning. After the experience
they called upon Attorney McGhee and
instructed him to begin damage pre-
ceedings in their respective names.
Mr. McGhee says the complaints in the
cases are drawn up and summons will
be served today.
Mr.. McGhee says he is pleased that
an opportunity has arisen by which
the law may be applied. He has al
ways been a champion of equal
rights for his race and declares the
alleged course of the restaurant to be
an outrage. 1t has been the custom at
the restaurant to serve colored peo-
pie but to require them to occupy a
certain part of the room. This dis
elimination has been unple to the
colored people but has been borne
without complaint until yesterday,
when service is alleged to have been
absolutely refused the men named.

Trouble Started by the Union Pa

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-The trouble over the

The commission rate made by the Union Pa

paying 1t. The decentralization is hurting the
roads East of the Missouri river. but they are
powerless to protect themselves at present.
they have, however. started movement for

that an agreement to restore and maintain

that it will be held in this city about Sept. 20.

The city filed its reply yesterday to
the answer of the sureties on the bond
of the AIlemannia bank, in the suit
brought by the city to recover the
$120,000 deposited by it in the Alleman-

The city denies. as alleged in the

the corporation attorney, or any of his
assistants. or that such erasure was
made while the bond was in the pos
session of the corporation attorney.
The city further declares that it does
not know by whom the erasure was
made. but alleges upon information
and belief that each of the defendant
sureties knew of the erasure at the
time it was made and consented there
to.
The reply further alleges that the
defendants made no objection what
ever to the bond, until after the AL
lemannia bank closed its doors on Jan.
T. 1897, but acquiesced therein and per-
mitted the city to rely upon the bond.
