his widow and appointing her. their son. and
Mr.. Jetter executors. Mrs. Hache meister

CHICAGO AND A1roM
Attempt to Aoquiro the Road for the Kan

Attempt to Acquire the Road for the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf.
Rumors of a change Of control Of the Chi
cago and Alton Railroad Company have been
current recently in Wall street. andit was said
yesterday that a majority Of the stock had al
ready been secured in the interest of the Kan
sas City. Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad Com
pany. The basis of this report is the fact that
an effort is making to form q syndicate that
will underwrite an operation similar to that by
which the New York Central acquired control
Of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and
the Michigan Central Railroad companies. II
Is not thought probable. however. that the deal
eau be put through.
The reported purpose of the promoters OF
the scheme in the furtherance of which Presi-
dent Stilwell OF the Kansas City. Pittsburg and
Gulf.has been active. Is to offer to exchange
City. Ptttsbure and Gulf 4 per cent. bonds at
par secured by the deposit of the Chicago and
Alton stock under the mortgage. and to form
9, syndicate to underwrite the transaction.
This syndicate has not been formed. though 1t
Is, believed that the control of the Chicago and
Alton could be secured II q cash offer OF some-
thing like the price mentioned should be made.
The discussion has drawn attention. to the pur-
posed building of the st. Louis Northern
short Line, which will parallel the Chicago and
Alton and In. which the Deutsche Bank Of Ber-
LII Is said to be interested.

tears with those of his brethren over
one of the late presidents, whose labors
had been so blessed to the people of
God. He was thankful for the privilege
of associating with the four presidents
of the church, from his youth to his
manhood. He was intimately associ-
ated with Brigham Young, and had the
benefit of his wise counsel; and in his
intimate associations with Presidents
Taylor and Woodruff, he had expert
enced great joy, and had found them to
be all that the people of God held them
UP to be before the world. Those who
thought that these men had sinister
motives and were not actuated by the
purest desires, had been greatly de-
ceived, or exceedingly ignorant No
men with whom he had been associated
had lived purer i-ves. They had not
sought to build themselves up, but to
save souls and TO establish truth in the
earth. They had been sincere in their
convictions. and in the inspiration they
had received from God. OF this he was
