WILL ENTER PITTSBURG
PROMOTERS OF THE WABASH En-
TENSION ACTIVELY AT WORK.
Details OF a Deal Negotiated Between
the Carnegie Company and
the Gould Syndicate.

PITTSBURG, Pa Feb. 26-The Dispatch
tomorrow will say: 1.-THE promoters of
the Wabash extension into Pittsburg have
been working actively during the past few
days perfecting the details for the COM
plete location of all lines and terminals,
and 1t is believed that an early start VIII
be made this spring on the construction
The Pittsburg underwriters say the con-
summation OF the Carnegie deal will not
affect them in the least. The underwriting
syndicate, consisting of George J. Gould,
Myron T. Herrick. Mr.. Ramsey, Francis
l.. Robbins and others, has now only Ave
months within which to comply with the
agreement signed by Mr.. Carnegie and
themselves. This agreement is more far
reaching than most suppose. 1t not only
provides that the Gould syndicate, in con-
sideration of its building line from Pitts
burg to the Wheeling & Lake Erie, at the
Ohio river shall receive one-fourth OF the
residue tonnage of the Carnegie Company
going west out of Pfttsburg after the
Pittsburg, Bessemer & Lake Erie has had
its share, but that it shall receive one
fourth of the heavy tonnage coming IN
iron ore from the Mesaba and Lake Su-
perior regions, and coal and limestone. !.
1.-The estimated annual consumption o.
6,00O,0O0 to 100000 tons, and of this the
Pittsburg, Bessemer & Lake Erie receives
at its docks at Conneaut harbor from 1000
coo TO 100000 tons each year The Pitts
burg & Lake Erie and the Pennsylvania
lines now haul the remainder of this heavy
tonnage to the Carnegie furnaces. This
tonnage will now have to be divided by the
railroad combination with the new Gould
syndicate, virtually the Wabash. 1t is ex-
pected that this tonnage alone Will amount
to from 100000 TO 1900 900 tons each year
This is insured and the greater increase in
the Carnegie consumption and production
will add so much to the tonnage of the
new Gould road.
1.-The Pittsburg promoters of the scheme
are not yet prepared to make public their
plans. All admit that the publication in
the Dispatch, on Monday, while complete
as to it's facts, details and statements, and,
while premature, has done no harm to the
project. Vice President Ramsey, in pri-
vate telegram to the Dispatch, last night,
| from ST. Louis, virtually admitted the cor
rectness of the Dispatches statement.
1.-The activity in local railroad circles
| seems to have become epidemic since the
announcement of the Gould plans. John S.

The appointment of Devery is a vindica :
