NOT SOLD.

Mr. Barlow Denies that EEis Road has
been Bought by Syndicate.
ST. ALBANs, VT, Aug. 10-Quits a sensa-
tion was created in st. Albans this morning on
the arrival of the news of the sale of the South
eastern railway to syndicate representing
George D. Chapman OF the National Construc-
tion Company of New Jersey, Ashly Hubbard
and Walter Stanley of Montreal and James
Mitchell of London, for S3,800,000 cash. But
little credence was placed in the rumor, and
the alleged sale was more of surprise to Mr..
Barlow than any one else. In conversation
Mr. Barlow said there was not word of truth
in the reported sale. He knows nothing more
about the matter than that the parties named
are inspecting the Southeastern with view of
buying, providing they consider the property
good investment at the price named. Mr..
Barlow hopes to sell his road to these parties
as intimated in a previous dispatch, but the
balance of the rumor is a fabrication.
The Montreal story.
The Montreal Gazette of to-day has the fol-
lowing regarding the Southeastern Railway:
"The result of Hon. Bradley BarloW's visit
to New York was made apparent by the
rival in town yesterday of Mr.. George B.
Chapman of New York. accompanied by his
legal adviser, Mr.. D. III. Richardson, with
view TO purchasing the Southeastern railway.
probably backed by the National Construction
Company of New Jersey, very wealthy Car
trnst They leave this morning in company
with MIR. L. A. Mackinnon, assistant manager
of the Southeastern railway, for tour OF in-
spection of the road, which will probably occu-
py two days. III their report be favorable the
sale will probably be completed. and mean
| time the creditors and public will have TO wait
| patiently. Already some OF the creditors have
| taken steps to secure themselves by seizng the
| bonds of the road, and any sale will probably
| have to be effected with them. A Gazette re-
| porter intergied Mr.. Mackinnon last evening
and elected tho information that any sale
would be made wholly in the interests of the
Canadian creditors, without any regard for the
Vermont National Bank. Failing sale the
Canadian Pacific, being the largest creditor,
will have control of the road, the Passumpsic
and Boston and Concord roads being the next
on the list"
The above facts effectually settle all rumors
and conjectures about the matter in point, and
few days time will decide the ownership of
the road, which meanwhile will continue to
run as usual
The Vermont National Banh.
Receiver Hendee issued circulor to-day
stating where settlemen OF the liabilities of
the Vermont National Bank may be made, land
announcing that dividends will be paid de-
positors as soon as he realizes on the assets of
The bank. He expects to be able TO pay a
| dividend Of 25 per cent. within e month TO de-
| positors.
| NEWPORT, VT, Aug 10-A spesial train
| this evening brought Geo. ID. Chapman and r.
! NJ. Patterson, representing the railroad inter
| ests, TO inspect the Southeastern railroad.
| They were accompanied by T. A. Mackinnon,
assistant manager, and G. s. Sharks, road
master of the South Eastern. The party will
