The New York S tells of an inci dent which occurred on the Petersburg K. R., which must have been some what annoying to the Presidential par ty on their recent trip to the South. The disDatch Is dated troni Weldbn : " A stern and cray-bearded conductor wtnt into the.

"Have you tick ets. They had no tickets. "Then you will have to pay fare from Peters burg to Weldon." This conversation was carried on with Private Secretary Phillips, but the President heard it, and looked on with an amused smile; but when the conductor said that he should have to charge them $47, that is for the full capacity of the private car, which is blu!t tor eighteen persons, there was sic disposition to argue the point Uh the conductor, but he stood firm. must either have the money, tickets or passes, but he left the car for a J'ade lor Mr. Phillips to decide.

General M. P. Taylor is an applicant for the position of Superintendent and Engineer-in-Chief made vacant on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad by the resignation of Col. L. C. Jones. Gen. Taylor has had a srallroad expe rience extending - through a period of 20 years and was highly) recommended by General Walter Gwynn, Edward Lorraine, E. II. Gill, Col. Talcott and other distinguished engineers under whom he had served, for . the superin tendency of the Wilmington. & Man Chester Raihtlad at the time! General Wm. McRae was elected to the posi tion. General Taylor commenced his career as a ciyil engineer in 1848 on the Richmond & Danville. R. R., on the first survey of the same, and continued on that road until ;its completion to Danville, when he came to Nrth Caro lina, and jwas resident engineer on the Wilmington & Manchester Rail road and had charge of the Great Pee Dee Bridge, where the first cast-iron cylinders were sunk by atmospheric pressure, being the same process used at the bridging of the North East and West Cape Fear. He was on the first survey of the North Carolina Railroad and there remained until the road was completedj serving afterward as Road Master on the Eastern Division from Goldsboro to Company Shops. He was employed as resident engineer on the Rabun Gap Railroad, in South Caroli na, and had charge of what was known as Stump House Tunnel Division, which had a tunnel three-quarters of a mile long. He also served on the James River and Kanawha Canal un der Edward Ixjrraine as Chief Engi neer, who endorsed him as one of the best engineers he ever had under him. Gen. Taylor served with Gen. Wal tier Gwynn at the time the Legislature of North Carolina appointed General G, to examine into the cost and practica bility of completing the Cape Fear and Deep Rit er locks and dams, and re ceived a most complimentary notice at the hands of the General Assembly as the assistant of Gen . G wynn. ' Gen. Taylor's letters of commenda tion from the engineers already ("men tioned are of the most complimentary character and endorse him as a civil engineer of ability, and of them he may justly feel proud. Sudden Death. An old colored woman by the name ot Katie McAUister, well-known to many of our people, died very suddenly last night. She had been to church during the "day, and at night appeared unusually well and in excellent health and spirits, and yet, within a short hall-hour of her return from church last night, she was a dead woman from a disease ot the heart. Aunt Katie was a good old soul, an d was highly esteemed. For a number of years past she has prepared tripe for sale, and of late had a stand in Mr. Melton's store. She was, perhaps, nearly 75 years of asre. To Builders and othersGo to J acq bi's for Sash, Blinds and Doors, Glass &c. You can get all sizes j and at the i i lowest prices. i NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
