In commenting on the present ownership
OF the Illinois Central President Fish said
that when he entered the service of the
road there were but 1888 stockholders in
America, holding less than one-Seventh of
the stock At present there in this
county $50 stockholders, owning 3-16 per
cent. of the capital stock, which is now
S79 200 600. Hundreds of employees are among
the stockholders and there are at home and
abroad 1864 persons who hold less than
$4,000 each.
The Illinois Central will soon be a double
track road from Chicago to New Orleans
Construction is practically completed be-
tween Effingham and Odin, ILL.,, forty
two miles, and between Irvington and
Carbondale, fOrty-nine miles, which gives
the road a double track from Chicago to
Fulton, distance of 400 miles, and next
week the second track will be completed
between Jackson and Crystal Springs. The
contract is let for continuing the second
track to Brookhaven, which will give the
road a double track from Jackson to New
Orleans, with the exception of lightweight
miles.

years. will not be abrogated The c.. H. 4
