r,ent was made today by Edward b.

bankers, that the Choctaw, Oklaho-
ma and Gulf railroad company has
been sold to speyer and Co., bankers,
III New York. The announcement
is as follows:
"By authority of President Gowan

a few, days, and they will be asked to
deposit their stock at the Girard
Trust company, philadelphia"
~
It was not officially announced for
whom Speyer and Co is acting. AS
the April dividend amounts TO ST.
on preferred stock the price named
is equivalent to s61 so. The divi-
dend on the common stock per share
is 81 So Dividends are payable on
April 30 to stockholders as register
ed April 19. Mr.. Smith intimated to-
day that the sale would bring over
$21 900 900 to this city where most
of the stock is held.
Francis l. Gowan president of the
Choctaw. said tonight that he was not
in a position to talk in detail on the
subject He said the transfer would
mean a change in the management of
the road, but in what way he could
not say. When asked If the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company was interest
ed in the sale, Mr. Gowan said:
''You are coming too far east"
Whether the bond issue recently
projected would be forthcomihg he
could not say, though he expected the
new management would see the ad
vantage of the extension that has
been completed. The decision tc
sell was taken after careful deliber
alton and he thought 1t was decidedly
advantageous to the property. The
proposition of Speyer and Co, he
said was the first bona fde Offer
made for the purchase of the road.
The stock issue of the choctaw
amounts to 17e,Oo0 shares of com
mon par value ss,SOO,0O0 and 10000
shares Of preferred, par value So,
100000
The announcement of the sale was
made after the stock exchange hac
closed and little information could
be had as to the prospective purohas
er. During the last six months rum
ors have connected the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railway. the
Missouri Pacific railway, the st
Louis and San Francisco railway anC
the Rock Island railroad There Il
a strong belief that the last named
road is the real purchaser. This be
lief is strengthened by the fact tha
the board of directors of the Roel
Island road are able TO issue $4,000,
600 in new capital stock.

The meeting OF the committee on illu-
minati0u this evening at S O'Clock at
eneampment headquarters, 1905 New
