.,,<,,. .Dprs,nrvr KING SAYS ABOUT THE
- ,,prr MIGHT FIND II DEsIRABLE-TRUSI-
,,,x, INFORMATION THAT AN ARRANGEMENT
- CONTEMPLATED BUT NOT AGREED UPON
p,Irn,oRr. Nov. 24-The prospect OF an arrange
mt beinc entered into between the Baltimore anu
Ohio and Erie Railroads, whereby the Erle shouiu
transport its freight trains between Cmcago anu
Mansfield. a distance Of about go miles over Vho
newly opened Chicago division of tho BALTIMORE
and Ohio Road was the principal topic Oh discussion
in railway circles here to-day. 1t was reported tn1
,,o,otiotions TO this end are now pending between
president Jewett of the Erie and Vice-Presldehl
Yin, If tLa baltimore and Ohio, and the opinion
,nerally concurred in that these negotiations
xVoull speedily terminate in an understanding De-
tween these officials. Inquiry was maze at tne
office of the Baltimore and Ohio Company SE'
King was inclined to be very reticent on the SUBJECT
When asked if he thought it possible that an ar
,oneement such as the one suggested would DO en-
,ored into. he replied that the Erie might find 1t
aosirobls TO withdraw its freight trains from
The Lake Shore Road and use the new line OF the
p,1tmore and Ohio for two reasons: In the first
Ioo bv 60 doing Erie would run over its own line,
'na tle Atlantic and Great Western controlled by
:, +Lo entire distance from New York to Mansfield.
In oddition TO this the Erie line. having no route to
p,I+;r,ora and the Baltimore and Ohio having com
,,o-.t;,elv small stake in the trade OF New-lork
tboro wonld be nothing to cause conflict OF ln-
torot between the contracting companies or to dis
tnrb the harmony of the proposed arrangement.
Rnt with regard to tho negotiations said to be IN
nrogre,s he expressed his unwlingness to give any
thing for publication in their present unsettled
condition.
From other trustworthy sources it is learned that
the plan proposed has been IN contemplation lor
several months. 1t was talked over as far back as
last Summer by representatives Of the respective
roads. and a new impetus has been given to the
movement lately by the completion of the Baltimore
and Ohio Chicago Division. Within the last i've
DAYS Messrs King and Jewett have been correspond
ing BY Telegraph on the subject 1t is believed, how
ever. that basis for an arrangement OF this KIDD
will not be reached until the officers OF the two
roads have an opportunity to confer in person. such
a conference may take place in q few days now as
Mr. Garrett is expected TO return to Baltimore from
his Western tour tonight, and his presence here
will enable Mr. King to visit New-YOrk for this pur-
pose for short time if he so desires There is very
little doubt that the Erie and Baltimore and ONO
Roads will come to an agreement on this point,
though it is absolutely certain that no arrangement
has been concluded yet Even alter the details are
settled it is probable that several months will eapse
before the Erie transfers its trains from the Lake
Shore to the Baltimore and Ohio,
