TUE SYNDICATE ONCE KOBE.
Humor of in SoJe of the VlrarialsY
midland to tbe Richmond 6c Dan
ville Syndicate.
We publish in another part of this
paper this morning, an article clipped
from the Richmond Dispatch giving
curency to the rumorthat the Richmond
& Danville syndicate has purchased a
controlling interest in the Virginia
Midland Railroad, which for some time
has been regarded as the most import
ant appendage of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad south of the Potomac.
In addition to the Dispatch article,
the following dispatch from the Charles
ton News and Courier, on the same
subject will be read with interest:
Richmond, Sept. 1. Intelligence has
been received here that the sale of the
Virginia Midland was to-day effected
in New York, the purchasers being the
Richmond & Danville Railroad. Nego
tiations for this sale have been pending
for two weeks and were conducted with
great secrecy. To-day at 1 o'clock a
private telegram was received from
New York stating that the sale had
just been made. Gen. T. M; Logan, vice
president of the Richmond and Dan
ville Railroad, and the leading mem
bers of the syndicate are .now m New
York. Col. T. M. R. Talcott, the gener
al manager of the Richmond and Dan
ville Railroad here, makes the follow
ing statement of the matter:
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, which owns a controlling in
terest in the Virginia Midland stock to
a syndicate at tbe head Of which is Mr.
John S. Barbour, the president of the
road. Mr. Barbour's associates are par
ties who are largely interested in the
Richmond and Danville Syndicate, arid
it is believed that by reason of this
common ownership in the two proper
ties more harmonious relations be
tween them will hereafter exist, and
that the interests of both will be pro
moted. About three years ago the Penn
sylvania Company gave up its interest
south of the Potomac by selling its
stock in the Richmond and Danville to
a party of gentlemen interested in the
welfare of Richmond, and now comes
the Baltimore and Ohio giving up its
interest south of the Potomac It is
understood that the road is an inde
pendent property, and for the present
no material changes will be made.
Commenting editorially on the news
contained in. this dispatch the News
and Courier says:
"The acquisition of the Virginia
Midland Railroad by the Richmond &
Danville Syndicate will work some
change in Railroad affairs in South
Carolina. It is not asserted positive
ly that the road has been bought, but
it is believed that the Danville people
will get it.
The Danville Syndicate is generally
regarded as friendly to the Pennsylva
nia Central Railroad, and the Pennsyl
vania Central had succeeded in getting
control of lines west of Bristol. Out
of this came the determination of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to secure
Southern connections of its own.
First, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
bought the Virginia Midland Railroad,
which runs from Alexandria to Lynch
burg, it was then determined to ex
tend that line via Spartanburg, S. C to
meet the Augusta & Knoxville Rail
road, and so obtain an independent
line to Augusta. A new line to Atlan
ta was also talked of.
If the Danville Syndicate buy or
Ieaso the Virginia Midland Railroad,
the Midland extension will probably be
abandoned. There would apparently
be no object in building a line to com
pete with the Air Line Railroad and its
connections, but the Richmond & Dan
ville Syndicate, with its roads in Vir
ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia, and
its Pacific Railroad, is becoming so gi
gantic a concern that it is hard to tell
what it will and what it will not do."
Our wide-awake contemporary might
have gone further and stated that this'
sale perfected wil cause the abandon
ment of tbe scheme to build the con
necting link between Danville and
Spartanburg, or any of the points sug
gested along the proposed liner as well
as unsettle me pian',oi uuuuing hub
road between Greenwood and Spartan
burg in South Carolina.
Besides this it will work irreparable
injury iff the Kennesaw route between
Atlanta Ga., and Washington and the
Northern cities, and thus their through
travel over the roads controlled by the
Syndicate via Charlotte, because
through tickets can not be sold on that

The Farrington trial was resumed In
the Superior Court vARtprHav onH
during the day . the crowded ' court
rOOm te8tlfied to the dftfin nnrl ranoal
interest felt in It throughout the city
and county.
The case for the State was resumed,
AUU
POLICEMAN JOSEPH OUR,
was called to the stand. He substantial
ly affirmed the statement of the con
versation between the accused and
Michael Healy and himself as related
by Healy. Parrington had said to them
that he intended no whip that man."
They suggested if he did the man
might shoot him, and Parrington said
he would kill him if he did.
W. L. HAND
Testified substantially that on the day i
pf the shooting, Farringtou had come
into the drug store of L. R. Wriston, j
wuwbub witness; was employed.
About half an honr after Parrinortm
left, witness saw a whip on the floor of
the office in which office it was proved
Farrington had been while in the store.
He had seen the whip lying round the
more ior some weeks afterward.
JAMES JOINER,
A clerk in the same store, also saw the
whip after those who followed Par
rington into the room had left.
f A discussion now occurred on the
admission of a question as to what
had become of the whip, or whether
any one had called for it. The ques
tion was ruled out.
POLICEMAN HEALY
Made a correction in his testimony as to
the conversation with Farrington ; Far
rington had said he was going "to whip
that man."
WILLIAM MCDONALD,
Biggage-masteron the Air-Line Rail
road, knew Harper as a train hand on
the same road. Harper had come in
on Tuesday morning of the day of the
shooting at 3.15 or thereabouts, and
was to leave at 12 o'clock that night.
It was the habit of train hands to go
to the depot sometime during the day
to draw supplies.
L. R. WRISTON.
Had seen an ordinary cowhide on his
counter shelf en the day of the shoot
ing, or the next day. He had seen Far
rington come in accompanied bv his
brother George. He did not remember
any one else with him as they entered
the office but a colored man named
Keid.
Several witnesses testified to the good
cnaracter or jonas nudism, and the
state rested.
THE CASK FOR THE DEFENSE
Mr. W. H. Bailey for the defense
stated that thev nrouosed' to Drove that
tbe threats made Dy Farrington against
narper had been abandoned; that he
was absent from his work on the day
of the shooting on account of indispo
sition ; that his presence at the depot j
was an accidental visit as he went
home, to his friend Wm. Horah, the
cigar stand keeper; that he approached
Harper with nothing in his attitude to
indicate a hostile purpose; that be in
tended a friendly expostulation of inju
ries nis ramiiy nad received from Har
per; that Harper had received these ad
vances with an oath and a shot; that
Farrington begged him not to shoot, and i
that Farrington had not attempted to
draw nis pistol until lie was snot and
half blinded. In proof of this they
would snow the marks or bloody ang
ers on the scabbard of Farrington's pis
tol which were made, they would at
tempt to show, by the accused as he re
moved it from the scabbard, after being
shot and putting his hand to the wound.
Thev would also attempt to show that
Harper had fired the second shot a lit
tle before or simultaneously with Far
rington's first shot and that he had
fired once or twice again before Far
rington's second shot. They would
show that four chambers of Harper's
pistol were empty when found and two
of amngton s.
D. M. MILLER,
Of Davie county, had been in Char
lotte on the 22d (of February. He was
coming from the Air-Line depot when
he heard a pistol shot behind him. He
saw two men in front of the depot
about 80 or 40 yards away racing each
other. The one facing up street (Far
rington) fired as he turned. The ether
(Harper) fell and Farrington stepped
off the pavement, and started across
the street. His head was held to one
side. He had crone a few steps when
the fallen man fired. Farrington stop
ped and attempted to tarn the cham
ber of his revolver and Harper again
fired. Then Farrington fired again at
thA fallen man who had stru&reled to
bis elbow with difficulty to shot. Wit
ness could distinguish between sounds
of pistols, Harper's being light and the
other heavy. He thought the two shots
the one he heard before he turned. The
first two shots folio wed in quick succes
sion.
T. C. ROBERTS
TAstiRed t.hnt his attention was attract
ed by a pistol shot and be looked through
the door of Wilkes's foundry in which
Via wn nr work. Haroers Distol was
presented and Farrington's hand at his
aide. Parrington raised his hand and
both pistols were fired almost at the
same time. He thought, but was not
willinor to swear that the lighter pistol
went off first. He saw two distinct
flaahpa I Turner fired once again as
wrrincrton crossed the street and Far-
rinorton reulied. He heard five shots
but saw only four.

got within sight, Parrington was in the
street. He saw Harper fire. Farring
ton replied and Harper fired again.
On cross-examination he said he had
never in previous examinations used
the expression "doable shot" in describ
ing the second report.
L. L. SMITH.
At the time of the ehooting was
agent at the Air-Line depot. From in
side tbe depot he heard two shots, one
after the other, and two others, suc
ceeding the one the other not so
rapidly. He went to Harper at once
and found him dead. There were four
empty shells in Harper's pistol. He
died as the witness reached him and the
pistol was lying a few inches from the
open hand of the deceased. Smith tes
tified to having seen a dent of a pistol
ball in the wall of the freight depot,
which had not been seen Defore the
firing.
WM. COITE, COLORED,
Was a drayman at the time of the
shooting, and was at the freight depot
across from the passenger denoL The
order of shots, according to this witness
was, uarper nrst. ifarrmerton second.
Harper third, as he fell, and Farrington
fourth, from the middle of the street.
He said Farrineton did not aterj nn on
the pavement at all. He claimed to
have seen the print of a ball on a post
under the "flatform" of the freight de
pot and to have picked up a ball a few
feet away.
T.T.SMITH
Was at work by a window in the office
of the Mecklenburg Iron Works, nearly
opposite me passenger depot, lie heard
a snot, turned his head, and saw the
two men facing each other. He saw
the flash of a pistol and Harper fell.
He ran to the door of the office and saw
Harper straggle to his elbow and fire
at Farrington about the middle of the
street. Farrington turned and fired al
most Immediately and he (the witness)
could see a slight dust rise from where
Harper lay and his body relax and
spread out as though Farrington's sec
ond shot had hit. Harper attempted to
raise his head and did fire twice again
and seemed to struggle to fire still an
other Shot but unsuccessfully, and his
pistol dropped from his hand.
FRED KTJESTER

several witnesses testified to the
good character of G. K. Stevens, Jonas
Kudisill, D. M. Miller and T. C. Rob
erts.
THE PRISONER'S STATEMENT.
The defence now introduced the
prisoner, under the provisions of the
recent statute allowing defendants in
capital cases to be put upon the wit
ness stand. He was asked why he was
at Horah's cigar stand.
"1 went," he said, "as I was in the
habit of doing when I wasn't on duty, !
to see my irienas among tne mechan
ics, l went that way going borne.
Why did you cross over to meet
Harper?"
".Because he bad seduced my sister
under promise of marriage and I was
mad," replied the prisoner with anima
tion and some vindictiveness.
"Did you go with a hostile pur
pose r
".No; l went over in a inendly man
ner to ask him to keep his promise. I
didn't have my hand on my pistol. My
left band was in my overcoat pocket.
I stepped up on the pavement and
said,
'Mr. Harper, 1 want to talk to you.'
"His hands were both in the pockets
of a blue sack coat he wore and the
tails were somewhat spread out I
heard him cock his pistol in his pocket
and he threw it up in my race saying,
JSot a ix d d n word out or you r
"I threw up my left hand and said,
Don't fire : I want to speak to you as
a mend.'
"He said, TU kill you,' and fired.
"The ball went in at my chin and I
recoiled, stunned and half blinded. I
reached for my pistol. It came out of
my pocket scabbard and all. I clamped
the scabbard witn mf left hand and Dull
ed it off. 1 levelled my pistol at him.
He looked to me, blinded as I was, a
blurred object. He fired again as I did
so and I fired also. He was a Little in
the lead of me. When he fell I thought
the encounter was over and stepped off
the Davement. He fired again as 1
walked away. I tried to turn the cham
ber of my pistol, which caught, and I
while I did so Harper fired again. I
heard this ball whistle. I then fired my
second shot and continued across the
street, where I met Mr. Stevens, gave
him my pistol and surrendered myseir
to him r
The prisoner further stated that 16
Eieces of bone and a quarter of the .ball
ad worked out of bis chin from the
effects of the wound, and that it would
be necessary to open the chin again to
remove a piece of bone which still
tronhled him.

ing house and had had irequent oppor
tunities of assaulting him. He ac
