Important Railroad Purchase.
CONTROL OF TIE PHILADELPHIA, WILMINGTON AND
BALTIMORE RAILWAY.

CONTROL OF TIE PHILADELPHIA. WILMINGTON AND
BALTIMORE RAILWAY.
An Associated Press dispatch from Baltimore,
dated last night says: ut is stated here to-
nigh on the authority OF a high official OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad that a syndicate
composed OF friends or the Central railroad of
New Jersey, the Philadelphia and Reading road
and the Baltimore and Ohio have purchased
mlDgton and Baltimore railroad. The purchase.
II Is stated. was completed to-day. The terms
have not yet been made public. President
Hinckley, OF the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad. upon being questioned to-
night concerning the reported sale or his road
said THAT controlling interest In his road had
been purchased by Robert Garrett, third ytct,
president OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
and Mr. Haven, OF the New Jersey Central
The stock purchased is that OF Mr.. Thayer. OF
Boston, with stock Of other persons, makingup
the controlling interest. The price paid to Sc
cure majority OF the stock will be paid to the
minority stockholders should they tender their
shares. The agreement, therefore, is such as
to protect the minority. The effect of this pur-
chase Will be TO kill the bill now before the
legislature Of Delaware for a charter for new
line between Philadelphia and Baltimore, as
Mr. Garrett, who was interested In the bill, will
no doubt retire frOm any connection with It. A
prominent official of the Pennsylvania railroad
company said tonight In Philadelphia that the
sale would not affect his company, as they
could doubtless make all the necessary ar.
rangements with the new management In case
they could not, It would only require the build
ing OF 60 miles OF road to have complete route
OF their owD."
