Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company which
consists OF the Smlth-st.. Franklin-ave. and De
Kalb-ave trolley car lines, the only lines now In
Kings County which are independent OF the Brook

OF the latter company told Tribune reporter last
night that ne believed tho rumors were absolutely
baseess. as. in the regular order OF business. the
matter would have to be laid before the Board Oh
Directors
This has not been done" continued the director.
"Of course It is just possible that Anthony n
Brady. John D. Rockefeller and the Nanderoilts
who are heavy stockholders in our company may
have the purchase OF the Coney Island and Brook
lyn Railroad in view, and indeed, 1t Is remotely
probable that an understanding for It's absorption
may have been reached within the last few days
II So l. personally. do not know anything ABOUT IT,
and believe that the rumors have not the slightest
foundation in fact.
Prior to the death OF Ex-Governor Roswell P.

Lieutenant Governor William F. Sheehan. acquired

once became part OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
