A BIG RAIL RUMOR , Rnuiors FlYiutt that the C , B , & Q , Has Gobbled Up the U. p , Some Crctlenro Olvcn the Itonnrt Kroiti tlio Knot of the < J'n ltt\cnt > liifj Largely In Union 1'Aclllo Hlmrcs. C. 11. (51obo , May 2" . it was rumored on llio streets of this ity this morning that the great Hurling- on route hnd gobbled , or w.is nbout to ako under its protecting wing , the Union 'acific road. An investigation of the umor by n Glebe reporter , who tackled ororal oflicials , resulted in the usual way n such cases "Wo know nothing about t here. " Ouo ollicial , however , said that "in n recent conversation with one of our > rotninont 0. D. t Q. ollicials ho Raid , liat it would bo cheaper to buy the U 1 * . entire than to build the various western extensions and branches contemplated by , ho Burlington , and alao the local mag- late said Unit there might bo moro in , ho report than merely n May bree/.o , jecauso the 0. U. , t Q liaa of late been nvosting largely in U. P. stock , and it would not be probable that it would do this if it did not desire to control the ro.id sooner or Inter. The recent strike on the 17. P. ntlcclod ts stocks considerably , which was taken id vantage of by the watchful Burlington. If the Burlington docs secure the U. P. , .ho roads in the western association will lave to dnnco to a lively racket , and it will probably result in the early disaolu- ion of the pooling arrangements. A BAD BILL , Ho Tries To llrcuk .lull , nml Aim > Helm Cell-Mute. Comanche Bill , who was locked up in ho city jail on the charge of assaulting some women , evidently fears that there will bo something moro serious for him to ace , and may not bo far out of the way , as ho has not the best of records , al- hough it has boon ditHcult to got proof against him. Do concluded ho would tiy nnd es cape , and getting the broken half of a stove cover ho used it in trying to dig hrough tha wall. After removing some of the mortar , ho evidently concluded .ho wall to bo too thick and so ho crawl ed up on top of the iron cells , between : ho top and the flooring and there lay liddoii. Davy Mottaz on opening the door nnd not cooing Camnncho Bill any vliero in the corridor , felt his nerves .winging and seeing the attempt made rO dig through the wall concluded that Bill had flown. Mottaz looked about , however , and inally found him thus secreted , llo was nmdo to coino down from his roost , and was locked up in the steel cell frith anoth er prisoner. When supper was served lone was given Bill , the jailor conclud- ng if ho could not make him pray ho : ould make him fast in a double sense. Supper was served , however , to Bill's cell-mate. As noon as the jailor had gene out Bill uaid to the follow , "You dirty jou haven't boon hero long enough to eat. I'll eat your supper for you and if you squeal I'll knock the whole top of your head off. " When the jailer chanced to open the door there ho saw Bill getting away with he meal in good shape , while his fellow > risouor was crowded timidly in onn : ornor. Bill was then given the cell all o himself , and the rest of the supper alien away from him. It seems to have ) eon his intention to have kept hidden on top of the cells , and to have there at- empted to break through the floor above , ind thus make good his escape. Cclcphono l Service.
