Much surprise was occasioned by the fact that the
enterprlsing princes OF Erie made attempt to dis
turb the harmony OF the meeting recently held for
tho purpose OF reorganzing the directory or the
Atlantic and Great Western Railway. The mystery Of
this "mastery inactivity" Is now dispelled. For
some days past active negotiations have been car
ried between Messrs Gould and Fisk and the par.
ties principally interested In the prosperity OF the
Atlantic and Great Western line ana an
arrangement mas been finally concluded be-
tween the :" high contracting powersn by which
the Atlantic ana Great Western Is placed
under the sole control OF the Erie Railway Company.
This arrangement, besides meeting with the hearty
approval OF the prominent parties in either interest,"
IS endorsed BY the direct sanction OF the courts Of
New YORK, Pennsylyapta and Ohio. BY the new
arrangement tho Erie Railway Company pays thirty
per cent OF the grcss earnings rent The lease is
similar 10 that made last spring, with tho exception
thar IT contains the ample guarantees rcqulr ed by
the Eric Railway Company that the thirty per cent
shah bo applied for the benefit OF the bondholders.
Having thus preserved their line unoroken between
Cincinnati, Cleveland and New York. the Erio chiefs
have taken "On TO Chicago" al their next war CRY.
