A SILLY REPORT HAS SPREAD WEST

The idea that some part of the Vanderbilt interest
has disposed of its equity in the South Pennsylvania
enterprise has filtered into Western Pennsylvania.
A Wall Street news agency yesterday printed the fol
lowing Pttsburg special:
Learned good authority to-day that Andrew
Carnegie is the purchaser of the Vanderbilt holdings
of South Pennsylvania and that he has also pur-
chased Meyers stock. giving him nine of the fifteen
millions AS to Carnege's intentions IL is impossible
to get any accurate intmatIon. holding that he
intends TO build the road and Others that he will
sell out to the Pennsylvania Railroad for big con-
sderation.'
There is no truth IN the above given dispatch and,
as stated In Sundays Tribune the position OF the
South pcnnsy lvapla Railroad Is unchanged ard the
Vanderbilt interest Is held intact
