Gould's attitude toward the Western Trafllc association , of which the Missouri 1'aclllc is ono of the component roads , has excited much interest in Wall street. Some believe the true reason for his reported action lies In the fact that Jlr. Gould has boon working for years to de velop the Missouri Paclllo into a homo genous and independent system , and before another your is out that end will have been accomplished. With the completion of the road which .Mr. Gould last summer an nounced his intention of building ho will have a now and almost straight line between St. Louis and Now Orleans. The Missouri Pacillo lines will then extend from Denver to New Orleans via St. Loilis and will in their course tap all of tno tralllc points of the west 'and can uraw upon the mining , grain and cntilo industries by giving them ono line to tidewater. The larcer part of Mr. Gould's new line from St. Louis to Now Orleans is practically finished. The southern half of the line extends from Alexandria , La. , whore it connects with the Texas Pacitic into New Orleans , duo north to u point on the Iron Mountain. It is proposed to inako the line even more direct by building a cut-off of about 150 miles through eastern Arkansas. This road will make the only direct line from St. Louis to Now Orleans nnd will traverse a rich country in addition to the tidmvatcr extension ol the Missouri Paollio system. With the completion of this road , Mr. Gould can niako a new export route for grain. rtorlc iHliiiul \ \ " < PII u Victory. CHICAGO , ill. , Jan. 1(1.

Mrs. Siddals says that the minister en caged her in conversation after they had ridaeti some distance together , and after a time ho attempted liberties which she repulsed. Ilo was miulo very angry by being foiled in his designs and grasped her by the throat , preventing her Irom making an outcry. Uo then forc&d her down on the seat and attemr/tud to outrage her. bho struggled desperately to prevent dishonor ana Dually the preacher , whether simply to escape detection or to catibo her death is. not known , pushed her out of the compartment. Fortunately she caught upon the footboard as she was falling and regained her footing.
