THE STREET RAILROAD DEAL.
Reported That Ii Has Been Pr"cu-
caIIy Contaminated.

It is believed here that the sale Of the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany's lines has probably been practically
consummated though there is lack OF
all details as to the deal.
1t is believed, however, that the Ameri-
can Railway Company, with headquar-
ters in Philadelphia, has about purchased
the line. 1t is known that this company,
which owns the street railway lines In
a number of cities, has been negotiating
for that of the Richmond Railway and
Electric Company.
1t is reported that Richmond syndi-
cate il also negotiating for the property
This may or may not be true. 1t Is GER
tain that the syndicate formed some
time ago for the purchase of the fran
chise of the company when II expires
at the end of this year, is making no
effort TO obtain the property.
II was stated, however that THIS synul-
cate will make strong effort 10 secure
the franchises. 1t was also authorita-
lively stated that the Richmond Iractiop
Company would secure the franchise, IL
such a thing were possible
Owing TO the fact that the headquar-
ters OF the company are in New YORK,
where the negotiations are being con-
Quoted. and that all parties connected
herewith are extremely reticent, 1t is
impos sible TO learn accurately OF the
character or status of the deal.
