BUFFALO, December lion the 22d Of
November a dispatch assumed TO give the
facts concerning the organization Of last
freight line, but 1t was all wrong. What
is referred to in the dispatch ss the An
drews road Is the Pittsburgh, Cleveland e
Toledo, which has just been completed
and opened. II has positively been leased
by the Baltimore & Ohio. This may be
put down as fixed fact, no matter how
often or by whom II may be hereafter con-
tradicted.
The new road runs from New, Castle
Junction to Akron, o., via Youngstown.
Arrangements are TO be made'to run trains
from Pittsburgh 70 Clevelsnd, using in adj
dition toithis line the Pittsburgh & Western

Akron to Cleveland the Valley road. A
company has been formed In Akron 10
run q line from there 10 Chicago Junction.
The srrangement or plan has two branches.
The first OF these is fast freight line,
which will begin with the Pennsylyania
where that great road taps the valuable ter
ritory at the north OF which Is Chicago, on
the south the Ohio river and on the west
the Mississippi river. Connection will be
made at New Castle with the Buffalo, New
York & Philadelphia. This system will be
used to Olean, thence over Its Rochester
division to Belfast, and from that point
over the Lackawanna & Pittsburgh to
Porkinsville, where connection will be had
with the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
for the seaboard.
The agreements for the line have bean
signed by the different roads named and
all that now remains to be done is to get
ready and compete for business. The
second branch Is for new trunk line
which will. begin with the Baltimore &
Ohio out Of Chicago; the Wheeling & Lake
Erie TO Akron; the Pittsburgh, Cleveland
& Toledo to New Castle; the Buffalo, New
