C. I. & E. TO AID THE STEEL TRUST.

Residents Along the Proposed Route Say United States Steel Corporation la Backing New Road.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Is the United States Steel Corporation back of the building of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Evansville road? This question is being asked by residents along the line of the proposed route. Persons living near Petersburg say they feel reasonably sure that the big steel company is greatly interested in the new road owing to the unlimited advantage it would receive in the way of getting coal to its plant at Tolleston, Ind. The United States Steel Corporation, should the road be built, would undoubtedly obtain cheaper fuel. The roach, will tap the coal deposits of southern Indiana at its southern terminus, Evansville. Coal from western Pennsylvania can easily be taken from the barges and transferred to the trains and hauled north. The steel company can be benefited in the hauling of its ore which will be taken down Lake Michigan and transferred at Indiana Harbor and then taken to the company’s plant. The projectors of the road have gone into the courts at Evansville to secure a river frontage of 1,800 feet on which is to be erected freight elevators. I. N. Ritchie, one of the directors of the new road, Monday refused to discuss the building of the road and said that all information regarding it would have to come from John B. Carter, who is interested in the construction company which is building the road. Mr. Carter is out of the city.

ANOTHER “RAILROAD” GONE GLIMMERING.

Brook Reporter: The Momence papers say that the proposed extention of the I. I. & M. from Morocco to Rensselaer, as published in the Courier and other papers, is all a pipe dream, as the head officials of the road say they know nothing about it or have no intention of building such a road.

SIXTY-CENT GAS A CERTAINTY

Indianapolis to Have a New Deal in Fluid Fuel Since the Chicago Decision. Indianapolis. Feb. 9.—Sixty-cent gas Is now regarded as a certainty under the decision of the United States circuit court of appeals at Chicago. The Citizens’ company which wa sorganized with a view to getting the Consumers’ Gas company mains.and which contracted with the city for its option on the plant, is receiving subscriptions to the stock hourly, and is confident of being able to manufacture a fuel gas at the ordinance price of 60 cents per 1,000 cubic feet. As a result of the adverse decision to the Consumers’ Gas company was seen on the local exchange, when Indianapolis gas stock fell from 73, at which it has been quoted for weeks, to 40. Local investors seem to think that a competing company, such as now seems assured, will make a great difference in the earnings of the Indianapolis Gas company, Harrison Monument Design. Indianapolis, Feb. 9.—A design for a monument to the late President Harrison, submitted by Charles Niehaus, of New York, to the Benjamin Harrison monument commission, has been selected, and will occupy a position in University park, near the point where Harrison addressed so many people during the campaign of 1888.
