MYSTERY IN ERIE DEAL.
Rock Island and Northern Securitie
Said to Be Jointly Interested.


New York, Jan. 16.-Erie continues to
be mystery, but the flood of rumors
of possible deals has not diminished to
any appreciable extent. Most of yes
terday's rumors were mere variations
of those heretofore published, with one
exception. 1t is suggested that all the
Erie gossip has had no foundation in
truth, and that the story of the passing
of control has been started by big stock
operators for manipulative purposes.
That yarn is generally discredited,
and 1t is pointed out that certain bank
ing interests identified with the proper
sty would nip any such scheme as that
in the bud. The probable deal that
finds most favor in the street, and
which is considered logical, is the one
talked about on Monday. that the Rock
Island and the Northern Securities
Company would turn up in joint con-
troll.
1t has been known for two weeks that
Rock Island interests control a large
block of Erie, and, despite denials, it is
perfectly safe to assume that these in
terests will have voice in the DISPOSE
ton of that property.

The usual scramble for the va rious positions in the general as- sembly was evident from the activ- ity of the numerous candidates about the hotel Hobbies at Little Rock at least week before the date of converting the legislature. At each session of the general assem- ply hundreds of worthy and deserv- ing people enter into the scramble for the few positions to be filled, and during the first few days of the sessions the members are relentless ly pursued by the place hunters. Many of them spend almost as much as the position sought would pay, in expenses of making the fight, only to meet final defeat.

The fact that number of gov ernment and state officials who have practical knowledge of road build ing will be in attendance at the good roads convention to be held in Little Rock on the 21st and 22d of January, has aroused general in- terest in the movement throughout the state.

Evidence of Prosperity.

As an evidence of the growth and prosperity of Arkansas, nothing bears greater weight than the re- port of the postmaster, w. s. Holt, of the Little Rock office. During the past six years the total receipts were just double the former figures. This is indeed gratifying and should be appreciated by every citizen of the state.

Confederates Will Appeal to Legislature

Gen. B. w. Green, commander of Arkansas division, U. c. ", says the ex-Confederates will ask the general assembly for an appropria- ton of $5,000 to aid in the crec- tion of the proposed monument to the Confederate dead. An increase in the levy for pensions will not be asked. On this point Gen. Green says: ''The question has been quite thoroughly discussed by the camps and the more prominent members of the organization, and the conclu- sion has been reached that the pres ent rate is enough, but we shall in- sist that restrictions be thrown around the pension commissions to protect those who are entitled to pensions as against those who are not and get upon the book by fraud. One of the strongest suggestions we hall have to make is that no com missioner, state or county, shall be appointed unless he be an eX-Con- federate."
