Col. Paramore has not only shown St. Louis how to be a great cotton market, but he has also exerted himself to make it the centre of a system of railroad transportation which now seems destined to revolu- tionize the railroad system of the South and South- west, and work incalculable benefits to the industries of those regions.
Col. Paramore is still in the full vigor of manhood, when judgment is at its best, and although he has already done more for St. Louis than often falls to the lot of one man to accomplish for a community, his fellow-citizens are encouraged to hope that what he has already performed is only a promise of a yet more brilliant and useful future.
Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad and the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad .- The Terre Haute and Alton Railroad was chartered Jan. 28, 1851. In 1852 the Belleville and Illinoistown Railroad Company was incorporated by the Illinois Legislature to construct a railroad from Illinoistown (now East St. Louis) to Belleville. In 1854 an aet was passed by the Illinois Legislature authorizing the consolidation of both of the above railroads under the style of the Terre Haute, Alton and St. Louis Rail- road Company. The consolidation was not effeeted until 1856, when the whole line from East St. Louis to Terre Haute and from East St. Louis to Belleville was completed and opened to traffic. Financial embar- rassments overtaking the new company it was placed in the hands of a receiver, and on the 18th of February, 1861, reorganized under the style of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad Company, which took possession in 1862.
The Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad was char- tered Aug. 31, 1867, and opened July 11, 1870, having been built in the interest of and leased to the
Pennsylvania Company (Pennsylvania Railroad). In 1867 it leased the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Railroad for ninety-nine years ; the Cleveland, Colum- bus, Cineinnati and Indianapolis, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, the Indianapolis, Cineinnati and Lafayette, and the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Companies being guarantors of the lease. The Indianapolis, Cineinnati and Lafayette Railroad having passed into the hands of a receiver, the other companies were left to guarantee the provisions of the lcase, which they did until April 1, 1878, when the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad Company refused to pay the monthly rental unless the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute consented to a reduction of the rental to three hundred thousand dollars. Litigation ensued to compel a performance of the lease.
The Cairo Short Line, as the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute is generally called, is the connecting link between St. Louis and New Orleans. It is also elosely allied with the Illinois Central, and the latter now controls the Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans, or Great Jackson route, which with the Cairo Short Line forms the through line between St. Louis and New Orleans, the entire distance being six hundred and ninety-eight miles. The distance between St. Louis and Cairo by the Short Line is one hundred and fifty miles. The traffie agreement with the Texas and St. Louis, it is confidently believed, will result in a large exchange of business between the two roads. The narrow-gauge has opened up an entirely new see- tion of country, and one, too, that is rich in resources, and rapidly filling up with a good elass of settlers. At Cairo adequate transfer facilities have been provided, and very little time will be lost in changing the cars from the trueks of the two lines, which is to be done in order not to break bulk. The Cario Short Line not only has a large through business, but its loeal business is exceptionally fine. It is one of the heaviest of the coal-carrying roads.
The Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad is a part of the " Bee-Line System," the other lines in the sys- tem being the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railroad and the Dayton and Union, all of which are practically under one management. The Bee Line has been in operation more than twenty years. The mileage of the system is as follows :

The president and receiver of the company is J. HI. Devereux, of Cleveland, Ohio. The president of the St. Louis, Alton and Terre Haute Company is W. Bayard Cutting, of New York; Vice-President, Treasurer, and General Manager, George W. Parker, St. Louis ; Secretary, E. F. Leonard, St. Louis.
Louisville and Nashville Railroad .- The St. Louis and Southeastern Railway (Louisville and Nashville Railroad, St. Louis Division) was the outcome of railroads chartered by the States of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The St. Louis and Southeastern and the Evansville and Southern Illinois were chartered by the State of Illinois in 1869 .. The Evansville, Carmi and Paducah Railroad Company was chartered by In- diana in the same year. Under these three charters the main line from St. Louis to Evansville, Ind., and the Shawneetown Branch were constructed. The road from Mount Vernon to Ashley and from Ashley to St. Louis was put under contraet immediately, and trains were running to Mount Vernon in 1870, and to East St. Louis in 1871. The Illinois companies were eon- solidated in 1870 under the name of the St. Louis and Southeastern Railway Company of Illinois and Indiana.
In 1872 negotiations were finally completed by which the franchises of the Evansville, Henderson and Nashville Railroad, incorporated by Kentucky in 1867 to build a railroad from Henderson to the State line of Tennessee, were transferred to the St. Louis and Southeastern. The length of the road proper is 208 miles, divided into the St. Louis Division, from East St. Louis to Evansville, 160.8 miles ; the Shaw- neetown Branch, 41.5 miles ; and the O'Fallon Branch, 5.9 miles. The Kentucky Division, from Henderson to Guthrie, is 98 miles in length, and the Tennessee Division, from Guthrie to Nashville, is 47 miles in length.
In 1880 the road passed under the control of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and now forms a part of that great system.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad connects St. Louis with Nashville, Tenn., it being three hundred and sixty-one miles to the latter point, and there joins the system which extends through the Southeast, penetrating with its leased lines and allied roads the States of Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. The Louisville and Nashville system proper, without ineluding the leased lines, is two thousand three hundred and twenty miles in length. The headquarters are at Louisville, and it is regarded as one of the most valuable of the lines classed as Southern roads.
In conjunction with the Chesapeake and Ohio Road, with which it eonneets at Louisville, a through route to points in West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, Balti- more, and Georgia is formed. During the past year the Louisville and Nashville opened up a line be- tween St. Louis and the city of Louisville, the route being formed over the Louisville Air Line, which meets the Louisville and Nashville at Mount Vernon, Ill. The line passes the county-seat of every county on the route in Illinois, and traverses one of the best wheat-growing seetions of that State. There is a large milling interest on the road, and it is one of the heaviest coal-carrying roads that enters the city of St. Louis.
St. Louis and Cairo Railroad .- The Cairo and St. Louis Railroad Company was chartered Feb. 16, 1865, to construct a railroad from East St. Louis, via Columbia and Waterloo, Red Bud and Sparta, Murphysboro' and Jonesboro', to Cairo. Ground was broken Aug. 30, 1871, and the road was completed and opened on the 1st of March, 1875. On July 14, 1881, the road was sold, under foreclosure of the first mortgage bonds, and a new company organized, under the name of the St. Louis and Cairo Railroad Com- pany, which took possession of the road on Feb. 1, 1882. The line of the road extends from East St. Louis to Cairo, Ill., a distance of 146.5 miles. The St. Louis and Cairo Railroad is a narrow-gauge line, and was the first of its kind built near St. Louis. Its business has been chiefly of a local nature, and prin- eipally between the points from which the name is derived. It passes through some of the most pros- perous counties of Illinois, and has built up a business which, while not being regarded as large, is fairly satisfactory. One of the drawbacks has been the gauge, on account of which the exchange of business with the standard gauge roads has been comparatively light. About a year ago it was generally supposed that the St. Louis and Cairo would make connee- tion with the Texas and St. Louis (the Paramore system), and thus form the connecting link between that chain of narrow-gauge lines and the Toledo, Cin- einnati and St. Louis, the latter now practically com- pleted to East St. Louis. The arrangement, however, was not carried out, as the Texas and St. Louis some time sinee made a traffic arrangement with the Cairo Short Line and the Illinois Central.
The directors of the company in 1882 were S. Corning Judd, H. B. Whitehouse, Chicago; J. A. Horsey, E. Norton, New York ; J. B. Livingston, East St. Louis; F. Bross, Cairo. President, W. F. Whitehouse, Chicago ; General Superintendent, Charles Hamilton, St. Louis.

HISTORY OF SAINT LOUIS.
The Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad is the longest narrow-gauge road east of the Missis- sippi River, and is now practically finished to East St. Louis, where track-yards, freight-houscs, and de- pots are being provided. The original name of the road was the Toledo, Delphos and Bloomington, but it was subsequently changed to the style given above. The system now embraces a milcage of about nine hundred miles, and the necessary amount of money has been secured to put in order and equip the St. Louis end. At Delphos, Ohio, the line branches to St. Louis, making nearly a direct route from St. Louis to Toledo, Ohio. This will be a most important road to St. Louis, as it runs through the upper Ohio val- ley, and thus opens up to trade a territory not here- tofore directly tributary to this market.
The West End Narrow-Gauge Railway extends from Grand Avenue, St. Louis, to Florissant, Mo., a distance of sixteen miles. It was opened Oct. 1, 1878, and sold under foreclosure in March, 1879. The president of the company is Erastus Wells ; Superintendent, Rolla Wells ; Secretary and Treasurer, William D. Henry.
The East St. Louis and Carondelet Railway was chartered on the 18th of February, 1857, and opened Sept. 26, 1872. It is used chiefly as a con- nccting road for all lines terminating at East St. Louis. It extends from East St. Louis to Falling Springs, Ill., a distance of 9.25 miles, with a branch to East Carondelet, a distance of 2.25 milcs. At East Ca- rondelet, by means of the Missouri Pacific steam ferry, cars are transferred to and fro between the Missouri Pacific and San Francisco and Iron Mountain Roads and thic roads on the east bank of the river. The officers of the company arc Thomas D. Messler, presi- dent, Pittsburgh ; John B. Bowman, secretary, East St. Louis; W. H. Barnes, treasurer, Pittsburgh ; Joseph Hill, general superintendent, St. Louis.
The East St. Louis Connecting Railway ex- tends along the levec in East St. Louis a distance of 1.25 miles. The company was chartered Dec. 26, 1877, and the road was opened Oct. 28, 1879. The officers arc S. C. Clubb, president, St. Louis ; S. A. Chouteau, secretary, St. Louis; Gordon Willis, gen- cral freight agent, East St. Louis; H. L. Clark, treasurer, St. Louis ; Robert Henry, road-master, East St. Louis.
The Illinois and St. Louis Railroad and Coal Company was chartered originally as the St. Clair Railroad Company on the 26th of February, 1841, and the name was changed to that of the Pittsburgh Railroad and Coal Company, chartcred Feb. 10, 1859. The corporation was reorganized under its present
title on the 16th of February, 1865. The line cx- tends from Belleville, Ill., to East St. Louis, Ill., a distance of fifteen miles, and has coal-minc branches aggregating three miles in length.
The St. Louis Bridge Railroad was operated until 1881 by the St. Louis Bridge Company, which succeeded (March 17, 1879) the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company, sold out under foreclosure. On the 1st of July, 1881, the bridge was lcased to the Missouri Pacific and Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway Companies. The length of the track on the great bridge across the Mississippi and its approaches is 6439 fect, and the length in St. Louis is 11.19 miles, and in East St. Louis 5.77 miles. The bridge lias two roadways,-the lower one for stcam railway traffic alone, the upper one for horse railways, wagons, and foot-passengers.
The St. Louis Coal Railroad is owned and con- trolled chiefly by capitalists of St. Louis, mostly manufacturers and coal-miners. Its length is now about one hundred miles. It runs to some of the largest coal-mines in Illinois, and there are being started on the line some iron- and stcel-works that promise to be the largest in the State. It reaches St. Louis over the Cairo Short Line track.
The Tunnel Railroad of St. Louis was formerly the St. Louis Tunnel Railroad, which was sold under foreclosure, and a new company formed under the title of the Tunnel Railroad of St. Louis, with a capital of one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, divided into shares of one hundred dollars each. In July, 1881, this company leased its road and property to the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific and the Missouri Pacific Railway Companies, which agreed to pay as rental an annual dividend of six per cent. on the capital stock, to pay two thousand five hundred dollars a year for the expenses of organiza- tion, to provide and maintain offices in New York and St. Louis, and to pay all expenses of advertising, ctc. The president of the company is Julius S. Walsh, of St. Louis. The length of the tunnel is about one mile.

St. Louis, although advantageously situated, with sixteen railroads and three great rivers, has labored under many disadvantages in respeet to freight rates, and an attempt is now being made through the or- ganization of a Freight Bureau to obtain her just rights in the premises. The amount of business in the past year, as indicated by the tonnage handled, shows a steady increase, as will be seen by the fol- lowing table :

Union Depot, on the south side of Poplar Street, between Ninth and Twelfth, is the central point at which converge the railroads entering St. Louis. It is a large building of briek and stone, and was ereeted by a company organized on the 10th of June, 1871. At the preliminary meeting held for the purpose of completing the organization " for the establishment of a union passenger depot and tunnel in St. Louis" the following persons were present :
Daniel Torrance, president O. and M. R. R. Co .; A. N. Christie, vice-president O. and M. R. R. Co .; Gen. L. B. Par- sons, director O. and M. and North Mo. R. R .; W. R. McKeen, president St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute Railroad; W. G. Broughton, superintendent St. L. and St. J .; E. W. Wood- ward, president Indianapolis and St. Louis R. R. ; Osear Town- send, president C. C. C. and I. R. R. Co .; J. J. Mitchell, di- rector C. and A. R. R. ; J. C. MeMullen, general superintendent C. and A. R. R. ; Gen. E. F. Winslow, president St. L. and S. E. R. R .; A. Carnegie, director U. P. R. R .; Capt. James B. Eads, chief engineer Bridgo Company; Dr. William Taussig, chairman executive committee Bridge Co .; William P. Shinn, gonoral agent Penn. Central R. R. Co .; James Smith, of Jami- son, Smith & Cotting, bankers, New York; Col. T. A. Scott, president Penn. Central R. R. Co .; J. A. Mccullough, general manager Penn. Central ; J. N. Drummond, assistant president T. W. and W. R. W. Co .; Gen. A. Anderson, vice-president T. W. and W. R. W. Co .; Hon. W. M. Mel'herson, director in Bridge Company and N. M. R. R. Co .; Col. George E. Leighton and B. M. Chambers, directors in Mo. Pacific R. R. Co .; Thomas Allen, president Iron Mountain R. R.
On motion of Col. Thomas A. Seott, the following plan of organization was adopted :
"1. The company to be organized on a basis of five millions of dollars, as follows :
" First mortgage seven per cent. gold bonds, free of tax
Three millions capital stock. 3,000,000
$5,000,000
" Fron which it is expected to realize-
Two millions of bonds, at say 85. $1,700,000
Three millions capital (assuming that only one-third will be called). 1,000,000
$2,700,000
. " Which will cover the following estimated cost :
Real estate ..
$750,000 615,000
Tunnel (according to engineer's estimates) .. ... Depot building (according to engineer's esti- mates).
1,000,000
Interest on bonds during construction. 100,000 235,000
Contingencies
$2,700,000
"2. The amount necessary to pay the annual interest on the bonds and the premium thereon (say $155,000), also eight per cent. interest on the paid-up capital ($80,000), also the costs and expenses of maintenance (say $50,000), and a sufficient amount to provido a sinking fund of not less than $50,000 per annum, which shall be used by the trustees, first, to reduce by lot annually the bonded indebtedness until it is paid off, and thereafter to return ratably to each shareholder ninety per eent. of his stock investment, and when this is accomplished, the depot and its business shall ever thereafter be subject only to such assessment as will be required to pay its maintenance. Taxes and working expenses with eight per cent. per annum on the remaining ten per cent. of stoek, which shall be pre- served for tho purpose of holding intact the corporate organi- zation and franchises of the company, shall be assessed pro rata against all the roads using the depot and tunnel.
" 3. Contracting roads pay only the net amount of such as- sessment ; non-contracting roads or future lines shall pay thirty (30) per cent. in addition to their pro rated assessment, of which additional percentage one-half is to be returned to the contraet- ing roads according to their pro rata, and the other half, to- gether with all the rents obtained from the building proper, such as offices, eating-houses, restaurants, ete., goes to stock.
" 4. With tho consent of the depot company and two-thirds of the contraeting lines, the additional percentage of the as- sessment against non-contracting lines may be reduced to not less than ten (10) per cent.
"5. The pro rating shall be made on the tonnage of freight passing through tho tunnel or going to the depot, whether through tho tunnel or otherwise, and also on each passenger-, baggage-, and express-car entering the depot or tunnel (an account of which shall be kept by the depot company), and each passenger-, baggage-, and express-ear shall be assessed the samo as ten tons of freight. But the board of directors shall, by the assent of two-thirds of its entire body, have authority to mako and establish from time to time such tariff of rates and charges, both as regards the through and local business that may be done in said tunnel and depot, as they may deem just and equitable, it being, however, provided that tho rates so es- tablished shall produce tho amount required as stated in Sec- tion 2.
" 6. No charge shall be made to contracting roads for loco- motives or empty cars.
" 7. The privileges of the depot consist in the use of tracks in the depot proper and sidings for empty trains, waiting-rooms, baggage- and conductors' rooms, ticket- and telegraph-offices.
" 8. The choice of tracks and other depot facilities shall be at the option of contracting roads. In case of disagreement it shall be determined by lot.
