railroad circles, says the Danvi lie

mmor appears feasible and thorough

1t IS stated that bonds to the value
of s5.0O0.000 which, it is alleged, are
held against the Cairo division, have
passed or about to pass into the con
troll of the Lake Shore e. Michigan

that ]. p. Morgan, with whom the al

Shore a direct line of its own from
Chicago to Cairo through that city.
The fact that President Newman,
of the New York Central lines, On
Tuesday began Il trip OF inspection
over the Cairo division and that an
invoice of all that division S auuprt'
enances has been taken substantiates
the rumor In the minds of local rail-
readers who have followed closely
the inside happenings of these tive
roads.
According to the rumor the transfer
was to have taken place on or about
May 10
Many people will be led to believe
this report true because it affords on
explanation of recent occurrences on
the Cairo division. Preparation fl
such change as that mentioned
would seem to be the only reasonable
excuse for the manner IN which the
shops have been closed down and the
force reduced of late.
If the change takes place. it should
result in the great Improvement OF
the Cairo division.
