ROCK ISLAND ABSORBS FRISCO.
Morgan Negotiates Deal By Which
Rock Island Becomes Second
Largest System of Rail
roads In This
Country.
New York, Feb. 25.—By a deal com
pleted in this city to-day through the
banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Company, the Rock Island Railway
takes over control of the St. Louis
and San Francisco Railway, and the
mystery as to what was to become of
tbs Frisco is at last solved.
The price at which Frisco control!
was turned over to Rock Island is
said to be on the basis of §90 a share,
to be paid for partly in cash and
partly in the new collateral bonds.
By the merging of these two prop
erties there is brought into existence
an immense and powerful system
which completely changes the rail
road map of the United States, and by
one stroke places the great Rock
Island second among the transconti
nental transportation lines.
