The case had been IN many ways a
sensational one all the way through.

CHICAGO & EASTERN ILLINOIS
GOES TO THE ILLINOIS
CENTRAL.
LOUISVILLE G. NASHVILLE
KEPT OUT OF CHICAGO
That Road Was After the Property
With View to Obtaining Entrance
to the Windy City-Joint Offer Made
to the Eastern Illinois by Two Other
Roads.

CHICAGO, July so. - The Record
Herald tomorrow will say:
The Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail-
road has been sold and the purchaser
is said to be the Illinois Central. The
latter company has quietly executed a
coup whereby a presumptive dangerous
competitor, the Louisville & Nashville,
will be kept out of Chicago.
That the Eastern Illinois has at last
changed hands little doubt remains, the
information to that effect coming from
one of the large stockholders, who is
also a close friend of H. H. Porter,
chairman of the board. 1t is under
stood that the control was obtained by
paying $3.50 per share for the stock
owned by H. H Porter, the largest in
dividual stakeholder, and the stock
held by certain of his friends. Several
times before it has been rumored that
the Illinois Central had purchased the
road, but each time the rumOr remain
ed unconfiTmed.
Several months ago it became known
that the Louisville & Nashville was af-
ter the property with view to getting
an entrance into Chicago. At that
time John w. Gates purchased the
Louisville & Nashville and turned the
property over to J. P. Morgan. The
Louisville & Nashville and Southern
are said to have made a joint offer Of
SZtO lOE d Interest IN the
property. Mr.. Porter, however, insist
ed upon $3.50 and the deal fell through.
1t was at that time thought the project
was to combine the Louisville & Nash
vile and the Monon and the Southern
and the Eastern Illinois, giving each of
the big Southern roads a Chicago ter
minus.
Earlier Rumor
NEW YORK, July 30.-Reports from
San Francisco received here this after
noon stated that the st. Louis & San
Francisco has acquired control of the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois. None Of the
officials will confirm or deny the report
The San Francisco dispatches stated also
that control of the st. Louis & San
Francisco road now rested with the
Southern railway. A representative of j.
2. Morgan & Co. denied this last report.
The terms of the Eastern Illinois lease
according to report are that certificates
OF control will be issued in exchange for
existing Chicago & Eastern Illinois stock
on the basis of approximately two and
one-haf certificates for one share Of
stock. These certificates are to bear per
cent interest and will be a direct obliga-
ton of the Frisco road, the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois stock being the collateral
for such certificates
