Ohio, Nov. 15.—The Leader today says: "The Erie railroad has closed a deal for the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and ■ the Clover Leaf railroads subject to a physical and financial inspection of tae two lines. This news came out yesterday as the first definite information which has been abroad ! regarding the transactions on which ranch has been said during the last i few days. The Erie, it has been known, has wanted a more vital connection with the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. Th* fact that the Clever Leaf and the Erie ha ve been looking to one another for future relations is also known and understood in railroad circles. Now that the Erie has got into a ' place where expansion must be made or the road be lost sight of 'in the formation of bigger companies. the C., H & D. has made itself oonspicious by a consolidation. Tbe two roads have drifted natural Jy together." This deal if actui ally closed, will not effect the division deal here, but only make it the more in p.rtant. The county commissioners will meet Thursday and order an election for the >28,000 subsidy, to be held Tuesday, De- , cember 20th. DO IT TODAY.
