RAILROAD SOLD.
The Great Eastern Was Sold at the
Court House Door to-Day.
The Great Eastern Railway was
e Ad at public auction Monday at the
Court House door in this city by Mr.
W. T. Dortch, who had been ap
pointed commissioner for that pur
pose. There was only one bid made
and that was for $1,000 made, by
Mr. F. A. Daniels, for the first lien
creditors, who wished to get pos
session of the property so they could
dispose of it , and get their money
they have invested. It is very prob
able thaff the first lien creditors will
now sell the property to some one
who will complete the road. The
sale Monday was simply to comply
with a form of law and the bid of
$1000 did not even represent the value
of the franchise, much less the value
of the material and the amount of j from the over head joist to the comb

that such right of way had not been

Eastern Railway calls for a railroad
to be built from Raleigh to Hyde
county, and it is said that it was the
intention of the promoters of the
scheme to build a railroad of that
length. Work was begun in the
center of the nronosed survev and
center oi tne proposed survej and
would have been carried each way if
tne road nad not gone into the hands
of a receiver. The sudden suspension
of work on the road just as it was
getting in sight of Snow Hill was a
great disappointment to the people
of that town and Greene county, who
have been trying to get a railroad
for a number of years and who it is
reported subscribed liberally toward
building the road. There is little
doubt but that the road will be com
pleted later on. It runs through one
of the most prosperous farming see
tions of the State and would no doubt
prove a paying investment when
completed, as it will be some day.
BROKE JAIL.
Wesley Sutton Makes His Escape
at Njght.
From Daily Argus of Thursday. " . .
John Wesley Sutton, the negro
who was shot and captured last week
by Constable Troy Smith, an ac
count of which was made in these
columns at the time, broke jail last
night and gained his freedom. He
had, at the suggestion of the phy
sician, been placed in the 'corridor
where he could take a little exercise.
Yesterday the physician told Sutton
that it would be necessary to probe
for the pistol ball. During the night
Sutton made a hole through the jail
wall with a'fire poker and left for
parts unknown. In his crippled con
dition he cannot get very tar and the
officers may hear from him soon.
He was sent to jail for stealing.

Goldsboro, N. C.
Dear Sir: I beg to report that
in compliance with your request, I
examined on Saturday,the 26th inst.
the two school buildings being erect
ed by the City of Goldsboro, and af
ter a reasonably thorough investiga
tion, I have ko hesitation in stating
that they are, in my opinion, abso
lutely safe in their construction.
I do not believe that they can or
will be subject to any possible weight
or strain which would render them
otherwise.
In regard to the construction of the
roofs, if the roof on the south build-
j mo- had an
additional centre brace
condition, but they would be no de-
triment to the roof, and would only
serve to make it stronger.
As to the partition which rests on
the inch boards on the brick founda
tion, this is the usual construction
according to all architects, and is, in
my opinion, as safe as any wooden
construction can be.
I found these buildings to be re-
arkably well ventilated,and in point
ot sti engtl1 ana durability, 1 do not
well gee hovy the character of their
construction can be improved upon.
i Yours very truly,
J. D. ELLIOTT.

In a letter written from 401 Sixty-
Seventh street, W., Chicago, 111., Mrs.
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna, :
"Having lived a very active life as wife
and working partner jaf a busy minister,
my health failed me a few years ago. I
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually I sesmed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is a confirmed
Invalid, and we both felt great need of
an invigorator. w
"One of my neighbors advised me to
try Peruna. A bottle was immediate
ly secured and a great change took
place in my daughter's, as well as in
my own health. Our appetites Im
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and restful sleep
soon improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.

ten times its cost." MRS. ANNA B.
