PENNSYLVANIA CONTROL
SPECULATION AS TO OUTCOME OF

Eastern Observation-Disclosures of
Women Station Agents.

The coming meeting of Pennsylvania
stockholders is attracting more attention
than is ordinarily the case on account of
rumors 10 the effect that other parties
may possibly control proxies enough to
bring about change in management. A
Philadelphia paper says: ut is thought
in railroad circles that at this meeting
the battle of the financial giants for su-
premacy in the Pennsylvania which has
been raging for some time will be brought
to a finish and the winners will announce
the victory with a public demonstration.
1t is stated that the contestants for con-
troll of the Pennsylvania are the Gould in
terests and Rockefeller on one side and
President Cassatt and his followers on
the other, and in case the opponents of
Cassatt should win ii is thought the road
will be placed in charge of entirely different
administrators and will no longer be the
dominant power in Eastern railroad cir
cles, as it now is. The fight originated with
the Gould interests when they made an at
tempt several months ago to extend the
Wabash into Pittsburg, the stronghold of
the Pennsylvania, and secure Atlantic
outlet to the Wabash, which would give it
chance to successfully compete with the
pennsylvania in territory upon which the
latter had learned to look as all it's own.
The Gould interests failed to heed the
warning to keep out of its territory, and
then the fight began
