 Will Be Promptly Completed.
 PITTsBURG, Jan 22.-The Ohronfcle-Tele- graph publishes positive statement to the effect that the trouble caused by the Pitts burg stockholders of the South Penn rail way who hitherto rah1sed to sign no longer exists, as they have all signed the Carnegie agreement except H. c. Prick, and he has declared that he will sign when the Wander bilts do the same, which will be done early next week.
 D. Herbert Hostetter, who has just re- turned from the east, said: "The South Ponp matter is at last settled Messrs w. ". Watson, B. F. Jones, Sellers Mckee and all the other Pittsburgers except H. C.. Prick and E. M. Ferguson have signed the new agreement. Messrs. Prick and Fergu- son have agreed to sign early next week, when the Vanderbilts do. This removes all the friction, and means that the road will be completed. There will be a meeting soon of the South Penn people, when all details will be settled and programme agreed upon."
 Other Pittsburg members of the South Penn syndicate fully corroborated all that MT. Hostetter said, and expressed the same hopes he did.

It will undoubtedly be accepted.
