A Big RAILROAD SENSATION.
The Common People Are Guessing 40

A New York special says: One Of

IS believed in the most conservative
banking circles here to be on the
eve of completion.
The absorption of the Louisville and
Nashville railway, which in the stock
manipulations of the past few days
has passed from the control of the Bel
mont interests to either the Southern
railway or the Rock Island road, and.
then a vast community of interests
is the outlook.
It was an acknowledged fact at the.
close of business in Wall street Satur-
day that the control of the Louisville.
and Nashville had already passed, or
is in process of passing, to some other
large railway system or group Of bank.
ers. The most solid indications are
that either the Southern railway or
Rock Island will ultimately prove to be-
the power in control. In either event,
it is as firmly understood that all OK.
these roads will be finally operated
for mutual benefit.
Another disyatch says: Despite de-.
malls from J. P. Morgan & Co, the
financial agents, and Samuel Spencer.
the president, of the Southern railway.
and from August Belmont, the chair
man of the board Of directors OF the.
Louisville and Nashville railroad, fn-:

MYSTERY sHRoUDs DISASTER.
First Reports of Fatalities on Burned
Steamer Remain Verified.

A special of Monday from Cairo, Ills,

pie on the boat when it burned about
half are still missing and at present no
further hope for them is expressed.
The books and valuables OF the boat,
crew and passengers are still in the
ruins. The wreck is above water and
was still smoldering Monday night.
Owing to the heated condition Of the
hull search for those cremated in il
has not been begun and very few Of
the bodies of those who are drowned
have been recovered, owing to the
swift current at the scene of the dis
aster.
At the court of inquiry nothing was
developed as to the origin, cause or re-
sponsibility for the disaster. Captain
Phillips testified that ecould not &C.
count for the origin of the fire unless
an electric wire had started it. He
stated that so far as lie knew there
were ffty-six lives lost. The coroner
was advised Of other bodies being re-
covered at distances from the city, but
identity was unknown.

The retailers have raised the price
also, so that the consumer is now

quoted by most of the retailers. Some
still maintain that they are selling at

soon be forced up. The majority admit
hat the price is up 1-2 to cents.
Even those retailers who allege that
hey have not gone up, quote the high
prices and admit they have had to quit
