Knows of No Negotiations With Parties Named, the Gould Syndicate. # REPORT AN UNMITIGATED FAKE Special to The Evening Citizen. Pittsburg, Pa., March 3.-I know of no negotiations with parties you mention. We expect to complete the lines under con- struction. F. J. TORRANCE. Thus is another fake sidetracked. When The Citizen read this morning the Journal's rehash of its old and often exploded fabrications concern- ing the connection of the Santa Fe Central with the defunct Exchange bank, of Allegheny, Pa., it was con- vinced that the remainder of the arti- cle was equally without foundation. At once General Torrance was tele- graphed, and the foregoing reply was received. It is plain that the Exchange bank, or its receiver, or its funds, has noth- ing whatever to do with any possible sale of the Santa Fe Central; that there has not been any negotiations for a sale with the Gould or any other syndicate; that the owners of the Central have neither necessity nor desire to sell; and that the company will itself complete the Hagan branch and the Albuquerque Eastern railway. These are all matters of congratula- tion to the people of this city, and it is useless for any by-fake stories to try to injure the Santa Fe Central or to shake the confidence of Albuquer- queans in its solvency and in the speedy building of the Eastern.
