This rumor does not find oJScial ap proval in Baltimore, either among Balti more & Ohio or Western Maryland in- tercets, althouzh generally at is ex pected that a settlement of some kind will soon be reached. The concessions to be given the Goulds Include. It is raid, a traffic -agreement to use tha Baltimore & Ohio between Cumberland and - Cherry Run, thus rendering un necessary the proposed paralleling of that line to cut the West Virginia Cen tral with the Western Maryland. It is even said that the traffic .arrange ments will be ultimately extended o as to give the Western Maryland tha use of the Baltimore & Ohio ' between Pittsburg and Cherry Run, and that the present line between these places will hn Bhrn-tened and double-tracked to ac- icommodate the increased business. This would stop anotner- projectea paTauejing of the Baltimore & Ohio. The Reading is also drawn into this scheme of harmony and the reports ny that this system will grant the Golds' traffic rights to Philadelphia and New York. 1 The Telephone Strike r New Orleans, Sept. 11.
