A LITTLE LINE WITH BIG HOPES
Sixty-ive Miles of Track in Missouri
Important Link.

Railway men are turning their attention
to little sixty five-mile line in the South
vest known as the St Louis, Kansas City
and Colorado, as likely to be the cause of
many interesting complications and the
key to some important railway problems
in that territory in the near future.
This road runs westward from st. Louis
to the town Of Union, Mo-, and, while the
reports of Its recent earnings show con-
stantly increasing deficit, there are several
roads in or near the territory it traverses
that would be- glad to buy it at big figures,
because OF the danger that unless 1t is alb
sorbed by cne of them some other system
may gobble it UP. By securing an entrance
into St. Louis the purchaser might become
a serious competitor of the Missouri Pa
cific, Burlington, Altoa, Wabash, Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, and the st. Louis and
San Francisco, all of which roads are said
to be bidding for the property in question.
In the annual report of the Atchison
3osd, which has just been publish d.
there is an obscure paragraph announc-
ing the sale of the St Louis. Kansas City
and Colorado for S455. 000. This was the
first intimation that many of the Atchi-
son stockholders received that the prop
erty had passed out of their control 1t
was acquired by the Atchison some time
in the sos. when il was the intention of
that road to build to st. Louis. as well
as to Chicago. The Chicago project was
made effective. but the financial difficult
ties which put the Atchison into a re-
ceiyer's hands prevented the fulflllment
OF the st. Louis plan, and no line t.
that city was built. Since that time tn /,
st. Louis. Kansas City and Colorado has
been carried on the Atchison's books as
dead asset. Some of the directors OF
the reorgonized Atchison company fa-
vored tae completion of the Kansas City
ST. Louis line. while others opposed it
on the ground that it was not desirable
to stir up too much competition with
companies already in that territory
Accordingly the st. Louis Kansas @ !. ty
and Colorado had been sold to former
Governor David R. Francis and his asso-
ciates, among whom Is the street rail-
way magnate John Scullin. of St. Louis.
The new owners have now entered into
a contract for the extension of the road
another fly miles toward Kansas City
and still further extensions are contem-
plated
This has alarmed officials OF the other
lines entering st. Louis, particularly the
Missouri Pacific, Burlington, and the Wa
bash, and they are now endeayoring to buy
the road Reports are in circulation that
they have already bought it, but in Wall
Street this is not believed. as the work OF
extending the line was under full headway
two weeks ago, and Wall Street has had no
real news of the sale. The people living
along the line of the road threaten injunc-
ton proceedings if any attempt is made
to take up the rails Or stop the operation
of the road.
81 believe" said a railway man yester-

day. that the growth of st. Louis is such
as to make the building of new lines
through unoccupied territory matter of
practical certainty. If the st. Louis, Kan
sas City, and Colorado is built through 10
Kansas City by Governor Francis and his
associates 1t Will complete the plan which
the old Atchison Board had in mind, and
would. in my opinion, lead that road to
buy ii in.
AT any rate, the value of a st. Louis
terminal is something of Importance 10

BADLY GoRED BY A BULL.
A Young Man Pays the Penalty of
Bit of Mischief

A Young Man Pays the Penalty of a
Bit of Mischief.
NYACK, N. Y, Oct. "a young man
named A. Stevens is nearly dead at his
home in Spring Valley from an encounter
with bull on the premises of E. T. Loy-
att Mr.. Lovatt is prominent Republi-
can orator in the present campaign and
has a farm on which he keeps fine blood
ed stock. Stevens, in crossing lot where
healthy looking Jersey pull was graz
ing, thought he would have some fun,
so he fiaunted a tin pan in the animal IS
face.
The bull lowered his head and rushed
at his tormentor, getting his horns under
him and tossing the young man fifteen or
sixteen feet into the air. When Stevens
came down he landed on the bulls neck
and clung fast. The bull tried to throw
the man and finally succeeded. AS Stew
ems struck the ground the bull planted
one of his fore feet on his body and be-
gan to tear him badly A farm hand. who
had heard Stevens cries, went to his res
cue and drove the bull off with rail lust
in time to save his life, but he was horri-
bly, torn and is in a critical condition.

The market this morning was quiGt
with little business OF any kind, and with
changes OF prices -unimportant. The pro-
fessionals sold securities. and there was
some selling OF long stocks for London,
1t was said. The buying represented
only scattering orders in the commissi on
houses. Prices went OFF fractionally as a
result. This was net an unexpected de-
yefopment, especially when the r port of
yesterday that gold has been engaged for
shipment from London was proven to be
without foundation. It now seems prob
able that this report was put Cut at the
late hour yesterday for its marEet e1ett-
Nothing of importance is looked for in
the market this week unless something g
unexpected occurs in the news. There
will not be any bad break because the
strike seems near settlement, and the
bears will be afraid to sell stocks heav-
ily for fear of the announc emen- that the
trouble with the workmen is ended. 1t 5
also probable that there will be go d
imports this week although yesterday 5
story proves to have been premature. At
the same time any important advance is
quite as far from a reasonable expecta-
tion, with the political campaign at is
height.

The bulls and the bears make very posi-
tive assertions regarding what will occur
IN the money market in the near future,
but the extreme views, or alleged views,
Of both parties are probably wrong There
is to be no money panic such as was seen
last year, but neither viii there be a con-
tinuance of the easy rates of recent
months. Probably call money will be at
6 per cent at least during the coming week
and later. The expectations regarding the
money supply are complicated by several
factors. The shipments of money to the
West and South have not yet ceased and
they may continue during all of the pres
ent month in some volume. Heavy ship
ments TO Galveston recently have added u
this outflow this year. On the other hand
many millions of gold are coming into the
country from Australia and the Klondike
The disbursements for interest and divi-
dends at the beginning of the month took
some money out of the banks, and this will
be returning now. Great Britain and Eu-
rope are not willing to give up gold at this
time, but the present indications are that
they cannot prevent a loss of the precious
metal.
