Rail traffic crisis and western railroads facing collapse
The piece discusses widespread default by western and southern rail lines led by Chicago and St Louis, with nearly 80 lines troubled, most built ahead of demand. It notes losses, declining bond markets, and long-term emigration as a path to stabilize the system. It covers the Atlantic and Great Western lease to Erie Railway at 30 percent of gross receipts and a military bounty bill modified by the House committee. It also mentions Wood's Household Magazine and various unrelated anecdotes.
