rumors regarding change in the owner
ship These were caused by the recent
sale of several steamers owned by the
steamboat company. The latest rumor
which became current yesterday was to
the effect that Charles A. Lieb, of New
York, one of the largest stockholders in
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. had obtained an option on the
ferry which would probably be operated in
connection with the cars of that line This
report was discredited by the officials of
the traction company. The manager OF
the ferry stated that he knew nothing of
the contemplated change.
When the Washington Steamboat Com
pany recently sold its steamers two of
them were bought by Capt. f. s Randall
AT that time Captain Randall expected 10
