The Lake Erie & western.

Concerning report, Frederick w. Whit
ridge, chairman of the board, said: Mrs.
Brice has not sold her Lake Erie & West
ern stock, and, as far as 1 know, she
doeds not intend to sell it. 1 do not know
of any large blocks of the stock having
changed hands or about to be transferred.
If any such deal as is rumored were under
way 1 should probably know of it,
Two of the other directors of the Lake
Erie & Western said that they knew moth
ing of any movement for transfer control
of the road, although the activity in the
stock might indicate that an attempt by
certain interests was being made to pur-
chase the controlling interest Only one
meeting of the directors had been held since
the death of President Brice, and at that
meeting the subject of a sale of the road
was not discussed or even mentioned.
1t was said by some persons that the Big
-Four (the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &
St. Louis had bought or was planning to
buy the Lake Erie & Western. This story
could not be verified, nor could others
previously referred to connecting the Van
derbiits and the Pennsylvania with the al
legged effort to secure control of the Lake
Erie q Western. 1t has been understood
for several days, says the New York Trib-
une, that the Big Four is now fully con-
trOlled by the Vanderbilts.

eral DAYS of very active trade. business was a
little quiet in some lines. Tickle weather might

important changes. frmness, as for some days

Says a Mistake Has Been Made.

William Wallace, the man with many
aliases. wanted in Cleveland on the charge of
defraudlng a life insurance company out
of 5000 and arrested here on a charge of
attempted swinding. was taken back to
Cleveland by Detective Stanton of that city
yesterday morning. Stanton also took with
him Joseph Ganko, a man wanted for stab
bing a Hebrew peddler at the same place
Ganko set up the claim that there was
another man employed at the Malleable iron
works in Haughvllle. where he was arrested
whose name is the same and who quit work
some time ago and removed from the city
This man, he declares, is the one the Cleve-
land officials want.

RAILWAY DEAL RUMORS
THE REPORTED SALE OF THE LAKE

Report Of the Weighing and Inspec-
ton Bureau-Fast Run ON the Buff
faIO Division of the Wabash.

Wall street is full of deals and rumors of
deals in many of the great railway systems
of the country, nearly all of which can be
traced to some brokers' Office which makes
a speciality of the line of stocks mentioned
in the rumor. Many of the stories are alb
solutely groundless, while others have some
basis of fact. Among the latter is the story
widely circulated in New. York yesterday
that the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania inter-
ests had purchased the Lake Erie & West
ern Railroad diligent inquiry by re-
porters failed to confirm the statement that
such a purchase had been made, though
evidences of an important deal in the stock
were discovered 1t is positively stated
and as positively denied that the stock of
Calvin S. Brce has been practically dis
posed of to interests allied with the Van
derbilt and Pennsylvania railroad systems,
and that the details are now being arranged
through the Chase National Bank and Cory
& Whitridge, counsel for the road at 80

Lake Erie & Western are as follows:
