new YORK TOWN SC0RCHED
Failure Of Water Supply Gives Flames
Full Swav

Troy, N. Y, Jan. 4.-The business
section of Granville, N. Y, a village
of 5000 Inhabitants, was swept by fire
with a loss of $250,0OO. The absolute
failure of the water supply at the crit
ical moment, owing to a stoppage of
the intake pipe at the reservoir which
supplies the village, gave the flames
full sway. The local fremen, assisted
by volunteers from several nearby
towns, finally strung long lines of hose
to the bank of the Pawlet river and
then pumped feeble stream up to
the scene of the. blaze, but their ef-
forts were of little avail.
A sudden shift of the wind saved
the residential section of the village,
driving the flames back over the al
ready charred business section to COM
plete their work there.
There was no loss of life and no in

WABASH MAY
CHANGE HANDS
Wall.St. Hears Canadian Pacific Is
Likely To Get Line Between
Chicago and Detroit.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--A new trans.
continental railroad, with through
train service between New York and
San Francisco and the entire middle
west, especially that section between
the great lakes and the Gulf OF Mex
! leo is planned. This, Wallst. heard
today is what has been behind the
fight for control OF the Missouri Pa
cific that has agitated financial circles
for many days. The shifting OF control
OF the Gould properties, II was as
serted. today will make possible the
trans-coltinentaleroute which has been
the ambition OF George Gould's life
and which will be realized with the
properties he controlled but under an
| other management.
Singularly enough the line OF road
which brought Jay Gould, founder of
the Gould fortune, into the limelight
will probably be the inlet" into New
York--the Erie system, the fight for
whose control the management
brought about BLACK Friday and a
financial panic.
Through the acquisition OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway Co, Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., John ID. Rockefeller, Blair a
Co, and the Duetsche bank control
will be able to dictate the policies OF
the Denver q Rio Grande, the West
ern Pacific, and probably also those
OF the Wabash and Texas Pacific. This
leaves only the Erie to complete the
coast TO coast route, and Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., already have substantial line
into the Erie through the Hartman
estates holdings of Erie bonds. AS
the Morgan interests are entrenched
In Erie, II Is believed that banking
firm will be given a finger In the
pie" thus adding to the Morgan mil.
lions without an unnecessary exertion
by the head OF the house.
In connection with the new road,
Wall-st. hears, that to keep the inter
state commerce commission from
"meddling' with its contamination a
deal will be made whereby the Wabash
lines between Chicago and Detroit
will be turned over TO the Canadian
Pacific "for a proper compensation"
which might take the form OF gen
tlemens trade agreement" Then the
commission could not interfere on the
ground that the Wabash and Cana
dian Pacific under one management
paralalled between the two cities.
The Canadian Pacific now enters Chi
cago from the northwest over the Wis
consin Central, and with control of
that portion OF the Wabash between
Chicago and Detroit, II would have a
n q In HE eastern outlet
The new trans-continental road
would then be routed from New York
to Huntington, Indiana, via the Erie;
from Huntington to Kansas City, via
the Wabash: From Kansas City to
Pueblo, Colo, via the Missouri Pa
cific; Pueblo to Ogden. via the Den
YER & Rio Grande, and from Ogden
to San Francisco via the Western Pa
cific. With the connections made pos
sble by this arrangement, the new
road would have an outlet into every
big city in this country and the traffic
possibilities would be enormous.

The judges considered only the

can be annexed TO Detroit without

that there must be revision OF the

proposition while the judges were out

DEPARTMENT of Enqlish.

In the department of English there
will be five new men, but the positions
are not all new ones. One Of the IN
structors in English has been trans
ferred to the department of history
and economics, and another instructor
will take charge of the course IN pup

have left the work at the college, re-
turning to the East. In place OF these
four vacancies five men will be en-

number of students to be taught Eng
lish.
Earl C. Ross of Wisconsin is one OF
the new men in the English depart

Another instructor in English is
William Whitfield Woods, who is a
Mississippian but received his early
preparation in English at the Univer-
sity Military School of Mobile. Ala,
under Prof. julius Tutweiler Wright,
one of the best known in the South.
From there he went to the University
of Virginia for advanced work, and
