Talk of AhsornfiOn.

Stock of the Chicago, indianapolis e.
Louisville, three months ago, sold at -
Now it is at SO, and the preferred has in
the meantime risen from AZ TO Y. Talk of
the absorption of the Mcnon by the South
ern is revived, and it is stated that the
long pending suit brought against the re-
organization committee has been compro-
missed. This suit has prevented any divi-
dends on the stock and any permanent dis
position of the property, as 1t involved a
million dollars. and an adverse decision
would hurt the lnonon seriously. The 1e-
c,sion of the lower court sustained the re-
organization, but appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court. During the past fiscal
gear The Monon earned a balance of $6S6,
Isl over fixed charges: the six months end
ing Dec. 81 showed a deer ease of SCI. $50 net,
making probable for the current n cal year
about $685. 900 to paw in dividends on stock.
This suffices for the 4 per cent. on the pre-
ferred and a little more than 4 per cent. on
the common. The preferred was placed on
a 4 Ter cent. basis last year, and a semi
annual dividend IS due in April. Should
the repor that a compromise had been ef-
fected prove false, the most unfavorable
thing that can be said is that there is a
possibility of an adverse decision by the
Supreme Court, but, while this Is possible,
It is exceedingly improbable.

DE WET SAID TO BE MAD.
His Mind Unhinged by Anxiety and
Extreme Hardshfps.

BLOEMFONTEIN, Orange River Colony.
March 15.-Prisoners who have lately been
released by General De Wet say they think
he is a mailman. They aver that the ter
rihle fatigue he has undergone, his anx-
icties and the intensity of his feelings have
unhinged his mind. Apart from this view
of General De Vets mental state. some of
his peculiarities are that he rarely sleeps
within the bounds OF his camp. He seeks
his rest outside. with a few trusted follow
ers. Thus. the orderlies OF his subordinate
commanders are frequently unable to find
him to receive orders. His secrecy is ex-
IRENE. He absolutely imparts his plans To
nc one.
General De Wet repudiates the peace
negotiations which have been going on.
He has declared openly TO the men under
his command that no terms, except in
dependence, will satisfy him. A recent ut
terance attributed to General De Wet is
that after the British he hated the Trans
walters. The whereabouts OF General De
Wet during the last two or three days is
unknown, nor Is II known whether Presi.
dent Steyn Is with him.

Future of the Eel River Road.

The future Of the Eel River Railroad is
The subject of much speculation on the part
of railroad men. Under the decisions of
the courts the road Will have to be sold
because of a violation of it's charter rights.
The Wabash is arranging for the building
of a railway Of it's own to provide the con-
n~ections heretofore afforded by the Eel
River, and will have no future use for
that road. 1t is not likely that il could
be operated prohtably for local business,
and the stockholders are looking for a
purchaser. a study of the map indicates
that it would be of more value TO the
Pennsylvania than TO any other system.
as it could be used as a connecting link
between the Grand Rapids d Indiana and
The rerre Haute q ~Logansport. both of
which are owned by the Pennsylvania.
The effect of this link would be to give
The Grand Rapids az Indiana a Shorter line
to St. Louis than II now has. and the Van
6alia system a good line to Northern Mich
igan points.
