Rumors That the Pennsylvania Con

NEW YORK. Nov 29.-Wall Street is
busy discussing two important railroad
deals, which are in sympathy with the tend
ency OF the times toward Capitalization and
combination. The recent advances in stock
exchange quotations of the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
shares is attributed to per-
sistent report that the Pennsylvania
COMPANY has acquired control Of the Bal
tinlore and Ohio. On the other hand, at
the Philadelphia office OF the Pennsylvania
Company. the reported deal was denied, and
II was also said that the company was not
considering plans for the refunding OF its
bonds. At the same place the rise in Penn
svIvauia stock is regarded as wholly due
TO the fine business that the company IS
doing
Next in point Of interest is the story that
". X Vanderbilt, acting in behalf of the
New York Central, has taken over from
J. p. Morgan control Of the Cleveland Gin
cinnati. Chicago and ST. Louis and the

ally believed TO be deal slowly pehdIng'

The break in common Leather was the
sensational feature of the market yesterday
The stock sold of 10 below II from Il, thus
completing tumble of 80 points, or Is
per cent in less than that number OF
days The market value of the entire com
mon stock issue when il was selling at 40

about $4,000, COO Query; Where is this
$22, ,0OO,00O that has disappeared? The
similarities between the recent manipula-
ton Of Leather common stock and the work
OF the Franklin Syndicate" are many and
instructive 1t seems probable, however,
that the people who bought Leather at 40
will fail TO be instructed, as they usually
do, by such illustrations. The declaration
OF a slightly increased dividend on the pre-
ferred stock of the Leather company now
seems to be all that viii result from all the
recent agitation Of the situation One OF
the rumors of the Leather deal is TO the
effect that John Rockefeller, jr., impressed
his parent with the idea that he could make
fortune quickly in some cheap stock, and
was given leave to try with Leather COM
mon. 1t is said in this funny story that
he lost at first Sc, 000,000y in booming the
stock. and has now doubled this amount in
getting rid Of his holdings. There is moth
ing of the Rockefeller look in this story,
however, and it seems certain that il must
be put down TO a philauthropic desire on
some ones part TO gid the pill Of the real
losers.

Yesterday,s market should be considered

Yesterdays market should be considered
fairly satisfactory in view of the fact that
the week is broken in two by the holiday,
which always has a depressing effect on
buying. There was fairly good buying
during the entire forenoon. and. although
dullness ensued around delivery hour. the
result OF the days trading was an advance
in the greater number of railway securi-
ties small but reassuring when compared
with the declines that frequently occur
before holidays. The street, and a large
part of The public, is fun Of confidence and
only waiting for the advance TO he in
augurated by the leaders" Meanwhile
careful observers are nothing that first
one stock and then another is being put
up to a higher level. It seems probable
that the usual thing viii happen. The
public viii begin 10 buy only when the
entire list moves rapidly in one direction,
and this always happens only when the
leaders have accomplished their purpose of
moving up their specialties. or in other
words, when they are very nearly if not
quite ready for a decline TO begin The
public I'm this way very seldom gets into
the market al the bottom, and it often
succeeds merely in buying what the in
siders are anxious to get rid Of. This is
net meant for a pessimistic prediction that
the present bull market is near its end 1t
merely calls attention 10 the fact that the
Pacific securities. Pennsylvania, New York
Central the Baltimore ana Ohio securities,
the Southern securities. Atchison pre-
ferred end many other railway stocks are
now selling many points higher than they
were a month or two ago and that after
a time be il long or short the insiders
viii begin to unload 1t seems probable
that in the present situation the strength
of all the conditions viii force a much
greater advance in the general list than
has already occurred. People with the best
information obtainable, however, advise
buying stocks now and not waiting for the

One OF the matters lHaJ Is llkeiY 10 cause
a big wave OF speculation in the railway
securities in the near future is the de-
velopment Of the plans of the railway mag
nates with regard TO the Baltimore and
Ohio -Peunsylvania-N New York Central deal.
As il gradually leaks out what the scope
of this deal is. and as later official an
nouncements are made it cannot be doubt
ed that the public ~ill embark heavily.
1t was pointed out a few days ago in this
column that the importanJ people of The
financial world always announce such
large and momentous plans at the oppor-
tune time or in other words, when they
will do the most good in the stock market,
and produce the best results. The reasons
why the present is an OpportuDe time for
the announcement OF such a tremendous
plan as this are evident The exact nature
Of the Eastern trunk line deal is not yet
10 be fOretold. Rumors of all kinds are
afloat but they seem to be crystalliZing
into mere and more important shape rather
than dwindling, as is frequently the case,
Ii would not surprise people usually well
informed if the control of the entire East
ern railway situation should prove to be
the goal sought by the Vanderbits and al
lied interests said TO be concerned in the
deal The New York Central Vanderbilt
crowd is TO obtain entire control of the
Big Four and the Chesapeake and Ohio,
the best story of yesterday states, and the
Pennsylvania people are TO annex the Bal
timOre and Ohio, in effect, by buying the
controlling interest in its securities. The
Louisville and Nashville and the Southern
Railway naturally fall into such a scheme
as they are already largely controlled by
Morgan and other interests friendly to the
Vanderbilts The benefits that would re-
suit from such plan are not to be
spoken of except in the superlatiye de-
gree. Economy of operation and the main
/ tenance of rates in the entire Eastern half
of the country could be secured and as
sured and the importance of both these
items are only to be estimated by those
familiar with railway history during the
past ten years.

FOR A PACKING HOUSE.
A Chance for Abilene to Got a Big
Industry,

Joseph White, Of the stock depart
ment Of the Rock Island, today re-
ceived a letter from the Butchers as
sociation Of New York asking for in.
formation as to good place to locate
a western packing house. The Abb
lene commercial club should lose no
time in getting after such PROPOSE
ton. This city located on three
trunk lines OF railroad and in the
center Of the cattle feeding region Of
the west is situated exactly right for
such an industry. 1t would add a
vast volume to the business Of the
city and county, give much employ
ment and add to the value OF every
head Of stock in central Kansas. In
addition to Abilene's magnificent To-
cation its water supply is Of much
Importance and should be Of much
value to packers. II Abilene wants
to get large enterprises to locate here
it should hustle.

ABILENE C0URs1NG ASSOCIATION
Being Organized and State Meet to
Re Held Here This Fall.

! Owners Of coursing hounds and a
number Of coursing enthusiasts have
"a plan on foot to organize the Abilene
Coursing association. The organiza-
tion will probably be effected this
week. The main object in view is to
hold a state coursing meet here
sometime in October. The organizers
Of the association were out with their
subscription paper last week and re-
ceived much encouragement besides
subscriptions for more than half the
amount required to hold state meet
here. About $l25 will be needed.
There are eight or nine we'll bred
hounds in Abilene and probably more
than a score in the county. Besides
these the proposed meet would at
tract somewhere near forty outside
hounds and bring many admirers OF
the sport to this place. 1t would be
hard to find a better coursing ground
than the big prairie north Of town.
This fall jackrabbits are numerous
and well fed and will lead the hounds
many a lively chase. The Abilene
dogs received considerable training
last spring and will be put to work
again in about week.
The Abilene Coursing association
will organize and elect officers this
week. The members have already
decided on the dates of the state
meet and are advertising them. The
meetings will take place in some Of
the big pastures west Of town on
Oct. rs, 27 and %.

IS SHE AN HEIREss!
Report From Missouri
About an Abilene Girl.

The following dispatch which ap-
peared in last evenings papers has
caused considerable interest in town:
LINN CREEK, Mo-, Sept. 1S.-Last
June Miss Minnie Marshall, an or
phan, who is said to be an heiress,
came here from Abilene, Kas., to live
with her aunt. Miss Marshall is en-
gagged to one Of Uncle Sans boys in
Manila, but her cousin, George Coop
er, fell in love with her. The folks
here would not allow her to write to
the soldier or to send west for money.
The inexperienced girl made two at
tempts to end her life. By this means
the facts were made public and
writ Of habeas corpus was ISSUED for
the purpose Of restoring her TO her
friends. Money was contributed by
the citizens to pay her expenses back
to Kansas and she returned yesterday.
Last Saturday young lady giving
her name as Marshall and who seemed
to be stranger here applied at the
Central hotel for work. Not securing
it, she left giving no address though
it is supposed that she is staying
with friends somewhere in the city.
No one here knows her as an heiress,
though it is to be hoped for her sake
that she has millions coming to her.

bullet lodging in her neck and caus-

herself in an attempt at suicide. She
lived alone with her little son.
The boy was at school and it is
thought she shot herself about two
hours before she was found. She was
conscious all night but very weak
She said she was tired Of life and
wanted to die.
About two weeks ago she sued
George W. Garten, farmer, for
breach Of promise, asking $4,000
damages, but a few days ago the case
was settled out Of court, on terms
not made public. She has been very
respondent since and it is supposed
that it was because Of this trouble
that she sought to take her own lite.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon she was
alive but her death is expected soon.
