cial to the Courier-Journal, from Jackson
vile. Fla, says: The many runlors con-
cerring the purchase of the Florida East
Coast railway, the Flagier system, by the
Southern railway, were renewed to-day
by the filing of trust deed by the East
coast Railway Company to a trust COM
pany of New York providing for the
issue Of bonds to the amount of SS,741,00o,
to run thirty years, al per cent inter
est, and to be dated January l. 1908. Cop
les of this deed were also filed in all the
counties in which any of the property Of
the system is located. a memorandum
was placed on each deed. requiring the
clerk Of the court to allow no one to see
the paper. The deed says the money is
to be used for purposes Of extension,
building branch lines. and consolidating
with, merging or purchasing other rail-
roads or other railroad properties" This.
on account of the situation. has been
deemed rather significant, as showing that
a purchase by the Southern may be ex-
