It is rumored here to-day that the

have sold out . to : the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. . The price paid
for this controlling interest cannot be
learned, but it must belarge. . t -
"While this report cannot be corro

know are reticent or prof ess ignor
ance, still there Is probably consider
able truth in it,' for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company made an offer
some years ago of $100 per share for
the controlling interest in the ' Wil
mington and Weldon .railroad, which
is the parent road of the Atlantic Coast
Line and the main link in the whole
system. :
The Coast Line comprises oyer
3.600 miles of road in Virginia, North
and South Carolina, and connecting
with the Plant system of Georgia,
forma -a short main line .between
Florida and the Northeastern States.
The Atlantic Coast Line Is in excellent
condition," the market value of Its
stock is far above par, and it has paid
its owners handsome dividends for
years."

A large: amount of atesk in the At
lantic Coast Line is owned in Balti

company are Messrs. Harry Walters,
aiieaaei . Jenkins ana waido Mew-
comer, of this city. Mr. Walters,
president of the road, could not be
reached last night. Mr. Waldo New
comer, treasurer of the company,
after he read the dispatch from Wil

"Will you confirm or deny the re
port!" waa asked.
"1 am not answering any Ques

"1 have nothing to say about It

There has been a sudden rise in At
lantic Coaat Line stock in the past
few daya, the common gaining 14
points and selling up to 104, and the
Atlantic Coast Line of Connecticut
stock selling to 180, which is a rise
of 30 points. Three possible reasons
were given for this sudden rise tne
purchase of the system by the Penn
sylvania, the absorption of the Plant
system by the Coast Line or an in
crease in the dividend.

Under the present schedule of the
Carolina Central railway the Char-;
otle morning: daily travels over about
184 miles of rati, through nine
counties, and reaches here about three
hours before the Wilmington papery
are permitted to start on their west-;
ward journey. And thus we are eomM
polled to serve our patrons on that
line and ita connections with cold
"vitties;N which, paradoxical as It
may seem, makes those patrons " hot."
The Charlotte paper for Newborn,
probably goes on the same train with;
the Wilmington papers, but it is poaet
bie for it to take the route over "the en
tire i length of the North Carolina
and the Atlantic and North Carolina!
railroads and shake handa with the
Wilmington papers in Newbern at
5:40 P.M. I
Charlotte papers can likewise, through
the connections at Hamlet and Max
ton, reach Raleigh five hours and Fay
etteville more than one hour ahead of
the Wilmington papers.
It will thus be seen tint ibe Wil
mington papers are practically cut off;
from a very large territory, at least
one-half of which, j under , an early
morning schedule would be legiti
mately their own. : !
While we make no contention that
railroad company ahould subordi
nate its interests to those of the daily

conviction that no si agio business
interest suffers so much pecuniary
loss, under existing conditions, as do
the newspapers of Wilmington. j
In referring to the newspapers
