d. AND II. SALE DENIED.

The report from Scranton that the Delaware and
Hudson company had been sold to the New-York
Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
which would divide the property. emphatically
denied yesterday by President ELEPHANT and direc-
tors of the Delaware and Hudson. A representa-
tive of President Newman of the New-York Central
said:
II know nothing OF the reported purchase. It is
the same old story which comes out about four
times a year. I don't know what started it this
time"
special dispatch from Philadelphia said that
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
characterized the report too absurd for contra
diction'
The report that the New-York Central the dom
inant interests in which have large holdings in the
Delaware and Hudson would take over the latter
property has been heard from time time during
the last few years, variant being the occasional
rumor that the New-YOrk Central would take over
the main line, from Albany TO Rouse's Point near
Montreal, and the Erie or the Lackawanna would
acquire the coal properties and the coal lines of the
Delaware and Hudson. The unexpected action Of
the directors in January. 1901 in increasing the
annual dividend rate from 5 to per cent has
always been believed by Wall Street to have been
counter move designed. and successfully to in
duee the scattered stockholders 10 decline an offer
by the Vanderbilt interests for their holdings the
acquisition of which would have been necessary
for securing control of the road.
