ANOTHER RAILROAD SHAKE-UP. A Number of Subordinate Officers Transferred In Order to Cnrtaii mt- nenace Y. M. C. A. to Be Organ ized at Hamlet at OnceNews In Brief Form. . . , Special to Th Observer. Hamlet. May lS.There wa quite a ahake-un in railroad circle yester dav. a number of changea In the per sonnel of the subordinate officer tak ing effect. Mr. Zartman. who ha been superintendent of terminals In Jacksonville. Fla., waa transferred to the first division and made trainmas ter, hj former position having been abolished. Mr. Lane, formerly train master of the first division, ha been 'given that place on the second division with his neaaquarter nre. air. xua- le. who has been assistant train master here, has been made yard master, vice Mr. McOawrwho ha been transferred to Savannah's yaraa' Mr, Brooks, -recently trainmaster or th second division, I no longer connect ed with the Seaboard. It is said that he will return to the west and go with the Canadian Pacific. These change were made. It Is understood, not be cause of the Incompetency of the men affected, but because of the necessity of curtailment of expenses, and It Is believed that ther will be no further change or curtailment at thia time. It Is said that buslnesa Is picking up a great deal on the railroad at this time.- Cross-tie and lumber ar be ginning to move as they have not since th beginning or the panic, and there ar4 usually from two to four sections of .vegetable traina a day. - A ' mas meeting waa held at th Methodist church last night inlhe In terest .of the Young Men's Christian Association - movement, and waa at tended by a large number of railroad men and others, and all were very en thusiastle over the proposed organi sation. - A feature that was loudly ap plauded was that Mr. E. A. Lackey of fered to f arnlsh quarter for the as sociation for twelve . tnontha free of charge. It was unanimously decided to organise at once, and there was a committee appointed to draft a con stitution and by-law, and report to a, subsequent meeting, which will be held in the Baptist church next Tues day night- It 1 hoped that th . or ganisation can be effected and that by th first of July everything will be ,ln shape to .open the doors of the asso ciation to the men who have felt th ned of such an Institution so long.' Alepsra Gibbon & Stone have be gun the erection ef a large storeroom next to the town hall, which they will occupy as a bottling works and also a brokerage business. The, room will b 10x100 feet.- . - . The graded school here will close on th 89th. It Is understood that Professor Crtdlebaugh will depart from his usual custom and not have an entertainment thia year.,. Thia will be somewhat a disappointment to the people they have alwaya looked forward to the closing of the, graded school with a great deal of pleasure for they were fumUhed with some thing that- was worth while.

The men are aeen constantly at worV on the' hill and the residents or tne section are con stantly on th lookout for something to happen. . It is- believed that the aeronauts are making preparationa to launch the ship in the air and that it will fly successfully,. . - Th New Tork . American naa sent corresDondcnt to th scene. Mr. William Hoster, traveling correspond ent of the Daper: having passed through thl city on hi way ' there. , A. drink Hed v VRed Buck" has been retailed her for quit awhile by Mv J. T. . Lamb, , a Poindexter treat grocer, who has built up quite a handsome Httl trad on th drink. In fact, tha demand' for the cooling beverage la evidently, great. Judging from th number of customer con stantly gathered at the counter. The United States officers wer recently In formed that a drink by that name waa being-retailed in the city and that it waa --thought to contain more alcohol than the law allows in soft drink. Accordingly the officers made investigation wlth th result that the drink waa found to contain more al cohol than Kft drinks wer permitted to contain and in order to sell same liquor license was necessary. Mr. Lamb , was consequently ar raigned before the United State com missioners, but he asked for a contin uance of hia case and it was granted. ' It 1 said that if Mr. Lamb secures government liquor licence it would squelch the case before the commis sioners, out as soon aa he should do this tha State and city officers would be down behind him. . So the posi tion of Mr. lamb 1 somewhat em barrassing and the outcome of - the case will be watched with interest.' The Ave young . men arrested by Marshal finance at Hatteraa several days ago were released Saturday af ternoon by the marahaL upon Instruc tion from the iNevy Department. The reason assigned ror releasing tne young men was that the ship upon which they had enlisted had left the New Tork port and they wer not needed. -. -. . -, . RECEIVERSHIP DISSOLVED.' .
