Senator Stephen B. Elkins called at
Broad Street Station yesterday, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, and was
closeted for some time with officials Of
the Pennsylvania. After his visit
Senator Ellins was seen by an In
quirer representative, who questioned
him regarding the report that he, rep
resenting syndicate, had purchased
control Of the Ohio s. Little KsnaWhs
railroad, between Marietta and Zanes-
vile, and the West Virginia railway,
and that they would be used by the
Wabash in making up q trunk line
from the Great Lakes TO the seaboard.
Regarding this report the Senator said
it was mere talk and he had made no
such deal with the Wabash.
As to his business with the Pennsyl.
3pnia oniclals he had nothing to say.
&c Is understood that he Is putting
Through some deal, however, In con-
necti0n with the Pennsylvania, and
shat It will be one not to the liking 6f

cuts quite q figure in railroad affairs
in West Virginia, and 1t Is believed
that, although the Senator might not
have purchased the roads he has re-
ported to have bought, he had obtain
ed options and that 10 was in regard
70 these properties he was comforting
with the Pennsylvania officials.
