III: Richmond and Danville Railroai-Reror.ei
Sale, Sc.


Sale, Sc.
The Richmond Dispatch Of yesterday hat
the following in reference to u reported
transfer of the controlling interest in tn,
Richmond and Danvile Railroad:
For Il week or more southern papers have
been publishing rumors and statements tt
the effect that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company had purchased Il controlling
interest in the Richmond and Danvilc ROAD
through the Standard Oil Company.
Whatever may he the future Of the road
and 1t Is uncertain cnough-there is nc
foundation, at present, for such reports.
Mr. Rochalelicr, who is interested in the
Standard Oil Company, has made large pur
chiscs both OF Danville and Terminal stock
but he is not yet known as the holder of q
controlling interest.
Since Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Bryan sold cut
there have been considerable changes in the
stock-list. No large blocks appear in the
name OF any new man. The names on the
books are numerous and not familiar ones
but it is certain that Mr.. Clyde, Mr.. Rocha,
Teller, and General Logan, if acting togeth-
CT, are the masters OF the situation
But Mr.. Rockefeller has probably bought
lor speculative purposes, and it is not known
| that lie Is more intimate with the Baltimore
and Ohio than with the Pennsylvania Cen
/ trail.
1t is suggested that the Chesapeake and
! Ohio railroad may care to become the owner
of the Danvillc. 1t could raise the means if
| it desired. and once in control would make
Newport News instead Of West Point the
deep-water port. Mr.. Clyde, on the other
| hand has large steamboat interests center
IN" ut West Point and would therefore. be
lnlmical to any scheme which would iniure
them.
The Danville Company controls the Ter.
| mnal Company. and the Terminal controls
! the Midland. A sum in the neighborhood
OF - ,ooO, 900 would probably buy majority
OF the stock of the Danville road now-that
is, if large holders are terrorized BY the late
decline
The secret of the last panic in Danviile
stock has not been publicly revealed. if
known. There was rumor that the divi-
dends were not earned, and that that start
ed thejump. The denial made by the friends
OF the company ought to be satisfactory on
that point 1t is now regarded as probable
that there was Il concerted effort to run the
stock down by parties who wanted to buy it
up at a low price. It's present price is phe-
nominally low for dividend paying stock.
while the business prospects of the road
are very bright-in fact, were never 50

lowing in reference to the above: !,
