GRAND TRUNK TO PITTSBURG.
Reported That Canadian Road May Take
Could Terminal system.

PITTsBURo, May 3l.-The Grand Trunk
Railroad is considering the idea Of taking
over the Wabash -Pittsburg Terminal Rail-
way as soon as it can be taken from the
receivers.
It develops that forty eight hours before
the public announcement Of the receiver
ship officials Of the Grand Trunk made a
thorough inspection of this property in a
special train furnished by orders Of George
j. Gould.
It is understood that one Of the party
which made the inspection will go direct
to London with his report. It is also
said that the Grand Trunk will not touch
the property unless access can be gained
to the Atlantic seaboard from Pittsburg,
something that the Goulds failed to attain.
Some idea Of the Importance Of the Grand
Trunk inspection Of the local Gould road
can be had from the names Of those who
came to Pittsburg and made the trip,
They were Charles M. Hays, second vice.
president and general manager; h. III.
Fitzhugh, third vice-president; w. @.
Brownies, general transportation manager;
j. w. Loud, frei ght traffic manager; Howard
G. Kelley. chief engineer; w. d. Robb,
superintendent of motive power; M. s.
Blaiklock, engineer of maintenance Of
way, and d. E. Galloway, w. F. Kirkham,
A. s. Louoks and John Lee, secretaries
to officers OF the Grand Trunk.
In addition these officers were attended
on the trip by local officers OF a railroad
which is controlled by the Grand Trunk
and with which IL In expected that the Grand
Trunk win use to get into Pittsburg.
