MANY BASELESS RUMORS
THOSE RELATING TO THE G., IL. a ID.
HAVE No FOUNDATION.
The yanderbiIts VIII Dictate the Pol
icy of the Union Paciic-General
and Personal Mention.

NJ. D. Woodford. president. c. G. Waldo.
general manager. and Chief Engineer
Wilson. OF the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Day
ton. arrived in the city at moor yesterday
and spent the greater part of the day look
ing over the terminals at this point. In an
interview President Woodford said that
rumors were so numerous now and so
varied in character as to almost give a
man the vertigo in case he tried TO keep
track Of them. So far as the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & Dayton is concerned none of
the rumors that has been in circulation has
the least basis. The present owners are
we'll satisfied with the property as an in
vestment, and as yet there has been no
inducement offered which has received the
least attention on their part. Regarding
the extension of the Indiana, Decatur q
Western, owned and operated by the same
parties, he said the matter had been up
for consideration, but as yet no definite ac-
ton had been taken; in all probability the
road would sooner or later be extended to
some important railroad center west of
Decatur. The Ohio river division was prov
ing a more valuable property than was an
ticipated. and he thought had a better flu
ture than many have predicted. He said
That although the Cincinnati, Hamilton q
Dayton and the Cincinnati, Hamilton d
indianapolis division were in very good
condition. considerable money would be
expended on these divisions this season i'm
the way of laying new steel. 5000 tons al
ready having been purchased, and in re-
placing wooden structures and ~trestles
with steel. In fact, every trestle on the
two divisions would be so improved could
the steel works furnish the bridges. Six
bridges are wanted on the indianapolis
division, but it is very difficult to get an
order filled; in fact. orders placed last fall
for delivery or early spring have
have not yet been filled. In equipment, but
little will be added. aside from the five
heavy freight engines and two switching
engines ordered last month fISm the Pitts
burg locomotive works, and the two new
trains 10 be run between Cincinnati and
Detroit. which are TO be delivered within
the next two weeks.

was transacted at the meeting. The an
nouncement that only the regular dividend
of % per cent. was declared was a dis
appointment TO those who had expected
that the increase of y per cent. allowed
10 stockholders six months ago would
again be allotted yesterday. 1t was ex-
planned by an official of the company that il

ira dividends only when the accounts for
