Governors. there are nine other

VIRGINIA
ANTHRACITE
ROAD FROM NSBUHC
TO BLACKSBURG MAY BE PUR-
CHASED BY TIE VIRGINIAN.

Roanoke, Va, Aug. S.-An inter-
csting report has been received here
TO the effect that the owners of the
Virginian Railway are negotiating
for the purchase of the Virginia An
thracite road which runs from Chris
tiansburg to Blacksburg and which
transports to Norfolk and Western
connections the coal which is known
as Virginia anthracite.
A gentleman who lives in Roa-
noke and who is in close touch with
the interests of the Virginian (Mr
Rogers enterprise) declares tina. he
has heard nothing of any such ne
gotiations and does not believe that
there can be any foundation for such
report
For some months past, the Viz
g.nian and the Anthracite Railroad
have been engaged in dispute over
the right OF way near Christians
burg, and this matter, it is said, has
not yet been settled until the courts
finally pass upon IT,
IL is pointed out that the Viz
nian might want the Anthracite
road for the sake Of the coal which
10 would throw into the hands Of
the Virginian and which would give
it p considerable amount Of freight.
The report states that the nego-
tiations have been conducted by Mr..
Rogers and Mr. McGuffey and that
they nave been successfully consum-
mated. Nothing can be learned here
TO verify such a report, and so fra
as II positively known here, it may
or may not be true
