The old rumor that the Pittspurg and

BY the sale Of the American Midland road

following special from Findlay, O., last

knocked down to him.
Mr. Lynch said the purchase was for W. c.

in the Pittsburg, Akron and Western it is suS-
pected the purchase of the Midland was in the
interest of the owners of that line, which
Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburg iron million
aire is in.
The object of the purchase is to construct a
grand trunk line between Pirtsburg and Chica-
90, which will be at least go miles shorter than
any other route. The company will have to
build connections from Akron to Findlay, and
work on this is already in progress.
From Findlay, the Midland will be used to
FIT Wayne and from that city q new line is to
be built into Chicago. This will make one Of
the best lines ever built across Ohio and this
place will be on great east and west trunk
line. The trials and tribulations which the
New York, Mahoning and Western and the
Midland have undergone Tor thetwo years past
are now at an end.

War Is Possible.
The Chicago lines to 81. Paul have asked
the Eastern roads to give them the same diff
ferentials on freight from this territory that
the lake people now secure. A differential
of 10 cents on the first two classes and cents
on the other three per 100 pounds is the adyan-
tage that the navigators now hold over the rail-
roads. For example, the iron rate from Pitts
burg to St. Paul by rail Is 25 cents; by lake it is
20 cents. The result is that during the sum-
mer all the freight from this territory
to the Northwest goes by way of the
lakes, and the lines west of Chicago
are left out in the cold. The Lake Shore road.
land, is not getting any of the business and
this line is one Of the heavy kickers against the
discrimination.
Last Monday the local freight agents
wrestled with the problem at Mr. Means office
of the Panhandle, but they couldn't come to
the Youngstown and Buffalo committees on
June at Niagara to confer about it, The
agents of the Western lines say they do not
ask for the lake differentials, but they would
like toto see them reduced to a minimum
The Northwestern road has its own line from
lake points to St. Paul, and this road is not par

In answer to questions he said he had gone to

His wife had him confined in Chicago hospit-

ably with the Pittsburg resort and he made
his escape some time ago, working his way by
