I have traveled over the Alps when we started on wheels in Italy, were put on runners at the monas-teries of St. Bernard, and the next day came tumbling down into the wheat fields of Switzerland and the Rhone. Then I have jinrikishad through Japan, and wheelbarrowed in China. But the most exciting trip of my life was taken in our own country, out in Iowa. It was one of the coldest nights of a cold winter. I lectured for the college at Usage City, northeast from Cedar Rapids, one night, and the Di \i niglu I was to be at Grinnell College, near Des Moincs. I had to ride down through the central part of Iowa, on the old Iowa Cen-tral road. To do this I was com-pelled to drive thirty miles across the prairie from Usage City to Mason City, in order to strike a 5 o'clock morning train for Grinnell. Thirty miles over the prarie in a northwest storm, with the ther-mometer IS degrees below zero, was a test of strength, nerve, and bodily caloric; but we made the trip. Gnce our sleigh tipped over, and our blankets and robes blew away. It was a hurricane, and even our hot soapstone took to the wind. Unce wo got to circling around on that thirty-mile prairie, and the driver threw up his frozen hands and screamed: "We'i lost!" But the stars came out, and we whirled around toward the north star and struggled on. In the gray of the morning with what Joy we saw the struggling lights of the little station of MaBon City, now a place of S.000 people! I remember well how I rolled out of the sleigh and tottered up to the station door. It was all dark within. I knew the morning train hadn't gone. We had won, but oh, with what cost! Knocking on the door, then pounding louder, the agent finally opened It. "lias the 5 o'clock train gone th to Grinnell?" I asked, with tremulous voice. "What?" "lias the train gone south?" He looked at me in amazement, and said: "Gone, man! Gone? Why, she went last September. She is n summer train. But," and he look-id kindly at me, "she will go again in June. If you must go on her, you can't sit around here in the depot and wait." What did I do? Why. 1 went right over to a log hotel ami went to bed, and sleep ■mothered my sorrows. Sleep! Sleep! At 10 o'clock I crawled over to the depot, and opened the wires on ; President J. B. Grinnell of the Iowa Central. This, by the way, was the original man whom Greely told to "Co West." Grinnell went West, and it was lie who founded the city of Grinnell, where I was to lecture, lie built the college there, the railroad, the town, the college, and the lecture course were all his. And I threw myself into iiU arms with this telegram: "Please give me mi engine. Gc Grinnell to-night!" .M room bottoa i.l l.n- • I Inn.I. *l Ii.- mi- 1» "• nj ' ngine n< eaing r, pairs at ■ ■iwuienUy on* n," can Grin mil. if • over end !'• rliins the wire from Well, we got to Grinnell, and struck the audience on the stroke of 8. President Grinnell hadn't told them about the ride. The audience thought I came on a reg-ular train or drove over from the next station. When 1 tried to tell them about my trip they only laughed. They didn't believe me. Alas! -hat was the day—that was the night—that I lost my reputa-tion for veracity, and all these years I have struggled to get it back. I am a vestryman now and a member of the Young Men's Christian Association, but nothing will get back my lost veracity, ex-cept, perhaps, this open confes-sion— now for the first time made. When I asked the venerable President Grinnell, years after-ward, how he came to telegraph, "Get Perkins to Grinnell or kill him," he said: "Well, my son, you see I was running for Congress then, and I didn't have any record to run on. All I had cone was to condemn land for right of way and kill im-migrants on our trains. I was dying for a record to run on—one that would bring mc the sympathy of the people, and it occurred— mind me," he said ii slowly, "it simply occurred to me as a busi-ness man—I beg pardon for saying it," and the tears came to his eyes, "but it occurred to me if you could be killed on our train then, and the people should find it out, why I would be nominated and unani-mously elected." Then he added with a long sigh : "Your coming and the lecture you delivered settled me with the peo-ple— I was d-c-f-e-a t-e-d!"—Maga-zine of Travel. to say that the AN IMPORTANT ACT As to Education Passod by the Last Legislature. RAUIOB, N. C, April 17.—No mention has as yet been made of the fact that the last Legislature passed an important act relative to the public schools, requiring the question of local taxation for pub-lic education to be voted upon at the next election for members of the Legislature and biennially thereafter, by each township, city and town not already levying a special tax for schools. This spe-cial levy to bo voted on is 20 cents on the $100 of property and CO cents on each poll. The original bill, which applied to every county, was amended so that fifty-six coun-ties were excepted, this leaving the act in force in the counties of Alexander,Beaufort,Bladen, Burke, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Cherokee, Clay, Dare, Davidson, Davie. Duplin, Gastonia, Graham, Guilford, Ilarnctt, Hay wood, Hen-derson, Jackson, Macon. Madison, Mitchell, Montgomery, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Polk, Rutherford, Stanly, Stokes, Sorry, Swain, Tyr-rell, Washington. Watauga, Wayne, Yudkin and Yancey. Wherever this special tax will be voted it will greatly increase the elliciency of the public schools and it is prob-able that the people will vote the tax in a number of the counties named. There was already a law allowing the county commissioners, upon petition of one-third of the free holders, to order an election to levy a special tax of 10 cents on property and :!0 cents on polls, but the new law requires the election, without petition and for twice the amount of special tax. During the next two years the University will receive $20,000 a year from th" State, and the Normal and Industrial school $17,500 a year, and the Agricultural and Mechanical college here $25,000 a year. The last also gels $7,500 a year from the United States Gov-ernment. In an interview to-day with Mr. Scarborough, State superintendent of public instruction, he tells me that the county boards of education and county superintendents all go out of oltice the first Monday of June. Their powers cease that day, and on it they can do nothing save turn over their offices to the county commissioners. The latter wiil the same day appoint the new school committees under the new law. Irritant Drugs. The use of tea and coffee, says an authority who includes tobacco as well, is injurious and ought not to be indulged in by those who seek to place themselves in the best condition to resist disease, be-cause they belong in the category of irritant drugs. These, by rous-ing the vital forces to get rid of the poison, provoke the action which is mistakenly be an adeled force, action is only one waited on you and the persons who attached their names to the peti-tion, did not represent a majority of the business men and citizens of this city who take a deep interest in the welfare of this republic. They represented the class that owns money and securities payable in money-fixed incomes. We re-spectfully submit that your letter does not present the true merits of this controversy. You call the at-tention of farmers and wage earn-ers to the fact that the rising prices, while enabling them to sell their products and labor at a higher price, will also cause them to pay equally nioro for what they may purchase, but you neglect to say that your statement is not applica-ble to debts. With prices coming down regularly and steadily since the demonetization of silver, our merchants, manufacturers, and people generally have been doing buttness on a falling market, EO that the time intervening between the purchase of their merchandise or raw material and placing it months after on the market has removed the margin they would have otherwise made. This shrink-age in values, added to the ordi-nary risk and expense of business, has led to an ever-increasing vol-ume of debt, to a money lending period, until it has increased all told, public and private, to about $10,000,000,000, or about two-thirds e,f the total value of all the property in the United States. We have constantly pointed the people to the ever-increasing in-terchangeable valuo of the cred-itor's dollar, and to the reason why it was increasing, but the influence of these creditors have dominated your administation and you insist on such a currency as they have established as a sound currency. It means the confiscation of the property of the people by the sale of property under mortgages, judg-ments and executions. It means that fixed incomes will wipe out the interest of hundreds in our railroad - and corporations. If it is an injustice to restore prices so that people can exchange their property for a sullicient num-ber of dollars to pay their debts and bring happiness and prosperity to our land again, it was a greater injustice to destroy the value of property and enhance the value of money by the demonetization of silver and the establishment of a single gold standard. The gontle-men who invited you and who pe-titioned you, only represent one class of our people. We respect-fully submit that it was safer that all the people should do the think-ing for it. than that any class should do it for them. The selfish interests predominate to promote sellish interest when one class does the thinking for all. Broad views to justly promote the common wel-fare of the people can be best se-cured by a census of the views of all the people. We agree with you that it is time for the people to reason together and to that end we respectfully ask that you make it possible for them to get printed copies of the ace of 1792 on which our forefathers based our financial system and subsequent acts, to-gether with the act of 1S73 that reversed the former policy and acts subsequent thereto, as well as all statistical and other information of an official nature at Washington that bears thereon. We but ex-press our own opinion to the Pres-ident of the people when we say that all the people should have the opportunity to investigate and in-telligently pas* upon this question. Respectfully, W. II. HARVEY, Ch'mn Bi-metallic Committee.

Six of the nine fusionist direc-tors, whom the Legislature or rather the fusion part of it elected, went out to the penitentiary at noon and demanded admission. They were accompanied by two of their law-yers, W. II. Day and Spier Whitaker and 'also by W. H. Kitchin. The guards at the gate, according to orders, refused to admit them. It is said considerable swearing was done by the would-be directors When they could not enter. They returned to the city. This after-noon another of them arrived, but two, Cheek and Herbert, did not come, so the seven met this evening and organized. They elected Kitch-in ageut and will to-morrow serve summons on Superintendent Leazar and the Democratic board.

After hearing the story, readers may be disposed to think that his antipathy! was not without reason. It was at a children's day exer-ciso of the Sunday school the ar-rangements were for the whole school, headed by the superinten dent, to make a triumphal entry into the church, in which the audi-ence were already seated. Accord-ingly, a hundred or more boys and girls formed in line, each class headed by its teacher, and carrying banners, marched in at one of the side entrances. As they marched, they sang "Hold the Fort." The superintendent, smiling and per-haps a little pompous, led the way. At the moment of entering the church they were beginning the second stanza, which runs: See Ihe mighty li-vt.iivancins*. BatUI liU'hnK' nil. The audience was quick to ap-preciate the ludicrousness of the situation, and a ripple of amuse-ment went through the church. Several in the procession stopped singing and smiled. The awk-wardness of his position dawned on the superintendent, and ho turn-ed very red. Some of the children, seeing their elders smiling, laughed ourtright. A ~omplete breakdown was im-minent, when one of the teachers began to sing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." This was immediately taken up by the whole school, and a fairly successful entry was made. "Hold the Fort" has never since been a favorite with that Sunday school.—Youth's Companion. How Japanese Princes are Taught Writing. One of the most remarkable oc-currences one meets in Japan is the instruction in chirograph}-given to a daimio, a member of the Japanese military nobility. The writing teacher, who is call-ed a professor there as well as here, prepares the copies in secret, so they can be used only for tho little prince is question. A swarm of maids are busy waiting on the daimio, fetching and preparing what pupil and teacher need. At the appointed hour the professor makes his appearance. Without saying a word and with the most fu-nereal countenance be approaches his pupil. A white napkin covers his mouth, so that his breath can-not oll'end the little prince The The Straight of the Much Talked of C. F. & T. V. Muddle. Last evening a reporter called on Mr. R. U. Burton and from him obtained a clear statement of the rather muddled case of the C. F. & V V. railroad mortgage bond suits, in which evidence was taken a few days ago before Special Master Martin, at Wilmington. "In March, 1884, an action wa» begun by the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, of New York, against the C. F. & Y. V. railroad and the Merchants' Trust and De-posit Company, of Baltimore, to foreclose the first mortgago on the railroad, in which the complainant is trustee. The company repre-sents $3,000,000 of bonds. The Baltimore Trust Company, to which Dr. W. A. Lash was afterwards appointed successor, was trustee in the second mortgage, or consoli-dated mortgage, which secured $180,000 of bonds. "Gen. John Gill, of Baltimore, was appointed Receiver by Judge Simonton in March, 1S0I, and has since been managing the all'airs of the railroad. "The North Carolina Improve-ment Company intervened in the action and set up diverse claims. Eugene S. Martin, of AVilmington, was appointed Special Master bv Judge Simonton and has just con-cluded the taking of evidence as to the different claims upon the road. "Before the close of the evidence the Farmers' Loan and Trust Com-pany abandoned its claims to the four branch lines, aggregating thirty three miles and a fraction, and they are now conceded to be covered by the second mortgage bonds. The complainant also con-ceded that the North Carolina Im-provement Company, represented by J. W. Fries, of Winston, receiver, is the owner of a large amount of rolling stock, now in the possession of General Gill, as receiver. This stock is valued at about $86,000. It was also conceded that the said Fries is entitled to rental for twelve months ($12,000). Mr. Fries also claims $0,000, rental for six months prior to the beginning of the action and $45,000, work done on the line between Mt. Airy and the Virginia line (Norfolk and Western exten-sion) and which was, as he con-tends, provided for under tho terms of the fir6t. mortgage. "He also claims $11,000, unpaid coupons on the bonds of the South Carolina Pacific road, which were endorsed by the C. F. A; Y. V. road. "Murchison A; Company, of New I York, were virtually conceded to be the owners of $-.10,000 of cou-pons from the first mortgage bonds, which matured December 1, 1893, and which they purchased. These coupons, under the conditions of the mortgage, are a preferred debt." There aro various other points in dispute between tho parties, but the above are the most important. The case has not yet been argued before the Master. His report, by special agreement, will be heard by Judge Simonton about the middle of June, when a decree of sale will be asked for by the complainant. The counsel in the case is composed of a number of brilliant lawyers from this and other States, who will make a learned and eloquent argument.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
How Eli Perkins Lost Hi» Reputa-tion
for Veracity.
I have traveled over the Alps
when we started on wheels in Italy,
were put on runners at the monas-teries
of St. Bernard, and the next
day came tumbling down into the
wheat fields of Switzerland and the
Rhone. Then I have jinrikishad
through Japan, and wheelbarrowed
in China. But the most exciting
trip of my life was taken in our
own country, out in Iowa. It was
one of the coldest nights of a cold
winter. I lectured for the college
at Usage City, northeast from
Cedar Rapids, one night, and the
Di \i niglu I was to be at Grinnell
College, near Des Moincs. I had
to ride down through the central
part of Iowa, on the old Iowa Cen-tral
road. To do this I was com-pelled
to drive thirty miles across
the prairie from Usage City to
Mason City, in order to strike a 5
o'clock morning train for Grinnell.
Thirty miles over the prarie in a
northwest storm, with the ther-mometer
IS degrees below zero,
was a test of strength, nerve, and
bodily caloric; but we made the
trip. Gnce our sleigh tipped over,
and our blankets and robes blew
away. It was a hurricane, and
even our hot soapstone took to the
wind. Unce wo got to circling
around on that thirty-mile prairie,
and the driver threw up his frozen
hands and screamed:
"We'i lost!"
But the stars came out, and we
whirled around toward the north
star and struggled on.
In the gray of the morning with
what Joy we saw the struggling
lights of the little station of MaBon
City, now a place of S.000 people!
I remember well how I rolled out
of the sleigh and tottered up to
the station door. It was all dark
within. I knew the morning train
hadn't gone. We had won, but oh,
with what cost!
Knocking on the door, then
pounding louder, the agent finally
opened It.
"lias the 5 o'clock train gone
th to Grinnell?" I asked, with
tremulous voice.
"What?"
"lias the train gone south?"
He looked at me in amazement,
and said:
"Gone, man! Gone? Why, she
went last September. She is n
summer train. But," and he look-id
kindly at me, "she will go again
in June. If you must go on her,
you can't sit around here in the
depot and wait."
What did I do?
Why. 1 went right over to a log
hotel ami went to bed, and sleep
■mothered my sorrows.
Sleep! Sleep!
At 10 o'clock I crawled over to
the depot, and opened the wires on
; President J. B. Grinnell of the
Iowa Central. This, by the way,
was the original man whom Greely
told to "Co West." Grinnell went
West, and it was lie who founded
the city of Grinnell, where I was
to lecture, lie built the college
there, the railroad, the town, the
college, and the lecture course were
all his. And I threw myself into
iiU arms with this telegram:
"Please give me mi engine. Gc
Grinnell to-night!"

Well, we got to Grinnell, and
struck the audience on the stroke
of 8. President Grinnell hadn't
told them about the ride. The
audience thought I came on a reg-ular
train or drove over from the
next station. When 1 tried to tell
them about my trip they only
laughed. They didn't believe me.
Alas! -hat was the day—that was
the night—that I lost my reputa-tion
for veracity, and all these
years I have struggled to get it
back. I am a vestryman now and
a member of the Young Men's
Christian Association, but nothing
will get back my lost veracity, ex-cept,
perhaps, this open confes-sion—
now for the first time made.
When I asked the venerable
President Grinnell, years after-ward,
how he came to telegraph,
"Get Perkins to Grinnell or kill
him," he said:
"Well, my son, you see I was
running for Congress then, and I
didn't have any record to run on.
All I had cone was to condemn
land for right of way and kill im-migrants
on our trains. I was
dying for a record to run on—one
that would bring mc the sympathy
of the people, and it occurred—
mind me," he said ii slowly, "it
simply occurred to me as a busi-ness
man—I beg pardon for saying
it," and the tears came to his eyes,
"but it occurred to me if you could
be killed on our train then, and
the people should find it out, why
I would be nominated and unani-mously
elected."
Then he added with a long sigh :
"Your coming and the lecture you
delivered settled me with the peo-ple—
I was d-c-f-e-a t-e-d!"—Maga-zine

AN IMPORTANT ACT
As to Education Passod by the Last
Legislature.
RAUIOB, N. C, April 17.—No
mention has as yet been made of
the fact that the last Legislature
passed an important act relative
to the public schools, requiring the
question of local taxation for pub-lic
education to be voted upon at
the next election for members of
the Legislature and biennially
thereafter, by each township, city
and town not already levying a
special tax for schools. This spe-cial
levy to bo voted on is 20 cents
on the $100 of property and CO
cents on each poll. The original
bill, which applied to every county,
was amended so that fifty-six coun-ties
were excepted, this leaving the
act in force in the counties of
Alexander,Beaufort,Bladen, Burke,
Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret,
Cherokee, Clay, Dare, Davidson,
Davie. Duplin, Gastonia, Graham,
Guilford, Ilarnctt, Hay wood, Hen-derson,
Jackson, Macon. Madison,
Mitchell, Montgomery, Orange,
Pamlico, Pender, Polk, Rutherford,
Stanly, Stokes, Sorry, Swain, Tyr-rell,
Washington. Watauga, Wayne,
Yudkin and Yancey. Wherever
this special tax will be voted it will
greatly increase the elliciency of
the public schools and it is prob-able
that the people will vote the
tax in a number of the counties
named. There was already a law
allowing the county commissioners,
upon petition of one-third of the
free holders, to order an election to
levy a special tax of 10 cents on
property and :!0 cents on polls, but
the new law requires the election,
without petition and for twice the
amount of special tax.
During the next two years the
University will receive $20,000 a
year from th" State, and the Normal
and Industrial school $17,500 a
year, and the Agricultural and
Mechanical college here $25,000 a
year. The last also gels $7,500 a
year from the United States Gov-ernment.
In an interview to-day with Mr.
Scarborough, State superintendent
of public instruction, he tells me
that the county boards of education
and county superintendents all go
out of oltice the first Monday of
June. Their powers cease that
day, and on it they can do nothing
save turn over their offices to the
county commissioners. The latter
wiil the same day appoint the new
school committees under the new
law.
Irritant Drugs.
The use of tea and coffee, says
an authority who includes tobacco
as well, is injurious and ought not
to be indulged in by those who
seek to place themselves in the
best condition to resist disease, be-cause
they belong in the category
of irritant drugs. These, by rous-ing
the vital forces to get rid of
the poison, provoke the action
which is mistakenly
be an adeled force,
action is only one
waited on you and the persons who
attached their names to the peti-tion,
did not represent a majority
of the business men and citizens of
this city who take a deep interest
in the welfare of this republic.
They represented the class that
owns money and securities payable
in money-fixed incomes. We re-spectfully
submit that your letter
does not present the true merits of
this controversy. You call the at-tention
of farmers and wage earn-ers
to the fact that the rising
prices, while enabling them to sell
their products and labor at a higher
price, will also cause them to pay
equally nioro for what they may
purchase, but you neglect to say
that your statement is not applica-ble
to debts. With prices coming
down regularly and steadily since
the demonetization of silver, our
merchants, manufacturers, and
people generally have been doing
buttness on a falling market, EO
that the time intervening between
the purchase of their merchandise
or raw material and placing it
months after on the market has
removed the margin they would
have otherwise made. This shrink-age
in values, added to the ordi-nary
risk and expense of business,
has led to an ever-increasing vol-ume
of debt, to a money lending
period, until it has increased all
told, public and private, to about
$10,000,000,000, or about two-thirds
e,f the total value of all the
property in the United States.
We have constantly pointed the
people to the ever-increasing in-terchangeable
valuo of the cred-itor's
dollar, and to the reason why
it was increasing, but the influence
of these creditors have dominated
your administation and you insist
on such a currency as they have
established as a sound currency.
It means the confiscation of the
property of the people by the sale
of property under mortgages, judg-ments
and executions. It means
that fixed incomes will wipe out
the interest of hundreds in our
railroad - and corporations.
If it is an injustice to restore
prices so that people can exchange
their property for a sullicient num-ber
of dollars to pay their debts
and bring happiness and prosperity
to our land again, it was a greater
injustice to destroy the value of
property and enhance the value of
money by the demonetization of
silver and the establishment of a
single gold standard. The gontle-men
who invited you and who pe-titioned
you, only represent one
class of our people. We respect-fully
submit that it was safer that
all the people should do the think-ing
for it. than that any class
should do it for them. The selfish
interests predominate to promote
sellish interest when one class does
the thinking for all. Broad views
to justly promote the common wel-fare
of the people can be best se-cured
by a census of the views of
all the people. We agree with you
that it is time for the people to
reason together and to that end we
respectfully ask that you make it
possible for them to get printed
copies of the ace of 1792 on which
our forefathers based our financial
system and subsequent acts, to-gether
with the act of 1S73 that
reversed the former policy and acts
subsequent thereto, as well as all
statistical and other information
of an official nature at Washington
that bears thereon. We but ex-press
our own opinion to the Pres-ident
of the people when we say
that all the people should have the
opportunity to investigate and in-telligently
pas* upon this question.

A few years ago, when "Hold the
Fort-' was one of the new and pop-ular
hymns, tho superintendent of
a Sunday school in a Connecticut
town took a great dislike to the
song. After hearing the story,
readers may be disposed to think
that his antipathy! was not without
reason.
It was at a children's day exer-ciso
of the Sunday school the ar-rangements
were for the whole
school, headed by the superinten
dent, to make a triumphal entry
into the church, in which the audi-ence
were already seated. Accord-ingly,
a hundred or more boys and
girls formed in line, each class
headed by its teacher, and carrying
banners, marched in at one of the
side entrances. As they marched,
they sang "Hold the Fort." The
superintendent, smiling and per-haps
a little pompous, led the way.
At the moment of entering the
church they were beginning the
second stanza, which runs:
See Ihe mighty li-vt.iivancins*.
BatUI liU'hnK' nil.
The audience was quick to ap-preciate
the ludicrousness of the
situation, and a ripple of amuse-ment
went through the church.
Several in the procession stopped
singing and smiled. The awk-wardness
of his position dawned
on the superintendent, and ho turn-ed
very red. Some of the children,
seeing their elders smiling, laughed
ourtright.
A ~omplete breakdown was im-minent,
when one of the teachers
began to sing "Onward, Christian
Soldiers." This was immediately
taken up by the whole school, and
a fairly successful entry was made.
"Hold the Fort" has never since
been a favorite with that Sunday
school.—Youth's Companion.
How Japanese Princes are Taught
Writing.
One of the most remarkable oc-currences
one meets in Japan is the
instruction in chirograph}-given to
a daimio, a member of the Japanese
military nobility.
The writing teacher, who is call-ed
a professor there as well as here,
prepares the copies in secret, so
they can be used only for tho little
prince is question. A swarm of
maids are busy waiting on the
daimio, fetching and preparing
what pupil and teacher need. At
the appointed hour the professor
makes his appearance. Without
saying a word and with the most fu-nereal
countenance be approaches
his pupil. A white napkin covers
his mouth, so that his breath can-not

The Straight of the Much Talked of
C. F. & T. V. Muddle.
Last evening a reporter called
on Mr. R. U. Burton and from him
obtained a clear statement of the
rather muddled case of the C. F.
& V V. railroad mortgage bond
suits, in which evidence was taken
a few days ago before Special
Master Martin, at Wilmington.
"In March, 1884, an action wa»
begun by the Farmers' Loan and
Trust Company, of New York,
against the C. F. & Y. V. railroad
and the Merchants' Trust and De-posit
Company, of Baltimore, to
foreclose the first mortgago on the
railroad, in which the complainant
is trustee. The company repre-sents
$3,000,000 of bonds. The
Baltimore Trust Company, to which
Dr. W. A. Lash was afterwards
appointed successor, was trustee in
the second mortgage, or consoli-dated
mortgage, which secured
$180,000 of bonds.
"Gen. John Gill, of Baltimore,
was appointed Receiver by Judge
Simonton in March, 1S0I, and has
since been managing the all'airs of
the railroad.
"The North Carolina Improve-ment
Company intervened in the
action and set up diverse claims.
Eugene S. Martin, of AVilmington,
was appointed Special Master bv
Judge Simonton and has just con-cluded
the taking of evidence as to
the different claims upon the road.
"Before the close of the evidence
the Farmers' Loan and Trust Com-pany
abandoned its claims to the
four branch lines, aggregating
thirty three miles and a fraction,
and they are now conceded to be
covered by the second mortgage
bonds. The complainant also con-ceded
that the North Carolina Im-provement
Company, represented
by J. W. Fries, of Winston, receiver,
is the owner of a large amount of
rolling stock, now in the possession
of General Gill, as receiver. This
stock is valued at about $86,000.
It was also conceded that the said
Fries is entitled to rental for twelve
months ($12,000). Mr. Fries also
claims $0,000, rental for six months
prior to the beginning of the action
and $45,000, work done on the line
between Mt. Airy and the Virginia
line (Norfolk and Western exten-sion)
and which was, as he con-tends,
provided for under tho terms
of the fir6t. mortgage.
"He also claims $11,000, unpaid
coupons on the bonds of the South
Carolina Pacific road, which were
endorsed by the C. F. A; Y. V. road.
"Murchison A; Company, of New I
York, were virtually conceded to
be the owners of $-.10,000 of cou-pons
from the first mortgage bonds,
which matured December 1, 1893,
and which they purchased. These
coupons, under the conditions of
the mortgage, are a preferred debt."
There aro various other points
in dispute between tho parties, but
the above are the most important.
The case has not yet been argued
before the Master. His report, by
special agreement, will be heard by
Judge Simonton about the middle
of June, when a decree of sale will
be asked for by the complainant.
The counsel in the case is composed
of a number of brilliant lawyers
from this and other States, who
will make a learned and eloquent
argument. The Farmers'Loan and
Trust ( ompany is represented by
II. B. Turner, of New York; Cow-and
