that A per cent. on the common stock for

Rumor About the Ii. a. o.

1t was reported yesterday that the Penn
s~ylvania Company had secured control OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Railway. When
William A. Patton, assistant to President
Cassatt. was asked whether the story was
true. he replied: There is nothing to be
said. / nave seen publications of this sort
before connecting the Pennsylvania Com
pany with various deals. They all turned
out the same way"
At the general offices OF the b. d o. In
Baltimore IL was said nothing was known
concerning the alleged deal. President
John x. Cowen was in New York and First
Vice President Murray in Pittsburg. No
other person about the building was au-
thorized to discuss matters OF this nature,
but a well-informed official said that no
one at that point would be likely to be in
formed as to the truth of the story. because
all transactions in the stock took place in
New York and not in Baltimore; Our
business he added, rs to run the road.
Thus far all of our orders have emanated
from Mr.. Cowen and Mr.. Murray. If the
road has changed hands. or If 1t is about to
do SO. we would know nothing about it un-
til the general public also knew it."
Chauncey NJ. Depew, chairman Of the
board of directors OF the New York Central.

with the holdings of j. j. Hill, places the
