A. I.ATMA5. Local railroad circles were agog yesterday over a report that emanated from New to the effect that the Harrl-roan interests are preparing to absorb the Erie and thereby create an ocean-to-ocean system. The report in question originated in a remark imputed to a high official of the Harriman system, who is quoted as having said that within a year from this time the Erie will have teen, added to the Harriman string and constituted' the outlet to the East for the traffic of the entire system. "1 have personal knowledge which enables me to say," the official in question Is reported to have remarked, "that had Mr.

Harriman lived six months longer this arrangement would have been in effect and the traffic world would have (had 'to face a new condition one that would have rsvoiuthmized relations of many years' duration. It had all been planned by Mr. Harriman and lie would Vsiro 1iat abl to effect It. And even though he be dead, no doubt whatever exists that his plans will be executed exactly as made. am nriflipatin? nredlctlon In the premises upon the completion of the double-tracking of the Erie within the fMrv, onorifl.

-which, really. Is all that interposes to prevent the consummation the project now. Itence, no surprise need be experienced when the actual taking over of the Erie by the Union-Southern Pacific shall occur, for it will be only a natural and logical rounding out of the great Harriman system." "While the Erie does not enter Pitts-burgh with its own rails, it originates much tra'flc, both freight aril pasjeng-ir, here and operates trains Into and out of the city over those of the P. L. E.

and hence Is accounted an Initial Hue. It maintains both freight and ticket offices in the business center of the city, as do other initial lines and while represented I f.re by a general agent, Colonel D. L. "Wells, he Is Invested with many of the function. and much of the authority of a general official.

No advices relative to the potential absorption had biin -eeivel by him yesterday, nor yet by General Agent G. G. Herring, the Harriman lines repre33 jtati re here, both of whom maintained a discreet reticent when approached in the premises, but considerable credence Is given the report by well-informed railroad men here. Opinion Is divided, however, regarding the effect such a coalition would have upon Pittsburgh. 1 Y.

Apartment house property continues to be a favorite form of investment in Pittsburgh, another one having changed owners yesterday, when, through the offices of the John J. MeKenna Company and Edward McCarroll, Mabelle Phillips transferred the three-story brick building at Tioga and Dunfermline streets in the Homewood district, containing two storerooms and 11 flats, to Robert W. Tenor for $15,000. The ground upon which the building stands consists of a piece fronting 59 feet in Tioga street and extending back along- Dunfermline street to a depth of 100 feet, together with an abutting lot fronting in Dunfermline street and measuring 20x100. The building is exceptionally well constructed and the rentals from it aggregate approximately i $4,000 per year, when it is fully tenanted, In part payment for the Homewood property, Mr.

Tener deeded to Mrs. Phillips the property at 1123 Fayette street, Northside, known as the Groetzinger place, which was accepted by her at a valuation of $25,000. This Northside property includes a 1-j-room brick house and brick garage, having living rooms on the second floor, both built on a lot 60x132 arid was acquired by Mr. Tener only recently through the McCarroll agency, which figures in the present transaction. Mrs.

Phillips has announced her purpose to reconstruct and arrange the interior of her Fayette street acquisition and convert it into an apartment house. The only other transaction during the day the consideration in which exceeded $10,000, was the sale by Annie B. (Mrs. Frank) Wilcox to George W.
