Mr.. LANCASTER DENIES IT.
Did Not Make Statements Sent Out REGARDING
the Railroad Deal.

The Bangor Commercial in a dispatch
from Pittsfield. dated July y, says A
meeting of the stockholders of the S. &
NJ railroad was held at the Office of the
company Monday, and resulted in the
transaction of little business of a public
character. The meeting was adjourned
for one week.
representative of the Commercial
called upon Il. ID. Lancaster. president of
me road, Tuesday and called his atten-
ion 10 dispatch that appeared in the
morning papers citing him as authority
lor the statement that the meeting had
adjourned for one week because of the
transfer of bonds, that two bridges had
been purchased of the Maine Central
railroad Co, and that the Wiscasset &
quebec and the S. & NJ. were to be com
pieIed by an expenditure of $500, 600
These statements" said Mr. Lancas-
ter, are absolutely false and were never
authorized by me. There has been no
reorganization yet. no consolidation. no
plans perfected. or any bonds transferred.
The dispatch was no doubt sent out
on the authority of a Watervile man
Whom l informed. Monday. that | had
nothing to give out for publication and
VINO stated that he should write some
thing anyway. He has evidently done so
and there is hardly a scintlla Of truth
in it,
