held by the Cleveland Plain Dealer aud
the News DEMOCRAT,
This opinion was hold 10 sleadfaally,
Notwithstanding the fact that INSIDE
information" WAS claimed by the Can
ton boomerang OF the Cleveland Loader,
as the PLAIN Dealer puts II, and that
the paper for q few dhya gave extended
double loaded articles on the deal 10
the exclusion OF everything else,
Mr.. \. A, Everett, the man who
gave his personal check 10 stock
holders who sold out, IN authority for
tho assertion and this mornings

way, lle said that his visit 70 New
York had completed all details for the
transfer OF tile stock, but lao stlll do.
rlnrea that the circumstances surround
ing tho sale will not permit OF the
names OF the purehaaerR OF the stock
being known here lie admitted, how
ever, that tho Wheeling a Lake Erie
railway IN interested IN the purchase
"Will Andrew Carnhgl6 have any
thing % do with the re0rganl20d dlreo'
tory 2" was again asked OF Mr., Everett
"Aa / have said before" he answered,
III have never known Mr., Carnagle In

and have no reason TO believe that he
has had any thing 20 do with IL"
Are Sidney Dillon and Russell sage
the purchasers"
"Now you are going too far" he an

secrecy until The purchasers are through
with other arrangements, The sale OF
the stock will, however give Cleveland
another trunk hne connection"
| II Ia about evident from the iorego'
Ing interview that the control OF the
Valley railway goes 10 some powerful
syndicate now engaged In perfectlng q
| big railway system and IL IN reasonable
20 suppose that the Wall street railway
men, Dillon and Sage, who contemplate
taking up the plans cut short by
the arrest Of Ives and Stay
ner, are the purchasers. The silly
Leader and It's Canton boomerang has
drawn on the patience of It's readers
with n claim from "lnBlde sources
that Andrew Carnegie, OF iron and
steel fame, had obtained control OF the
road when II was evident from the llrst
lutlmatIon Of the sale that important
/ connections Ia central Ohio were con
templated IL may bO that definite In
formation regarding the deal will not
be given out until the annual meeting
OF the Valley stockholders In May.
