; The stockholders of the Wilming-s
ton & Weldon Railroad Company met
in Wilmington Wednesday. The old
Officers and old board of directors
were re-elected. We condense from
the Star's account the further pro
ceedings as follows:
: The reports of President Bridgers
and General Manager Walters shows
that the dosing fiscal year has been a
prosperous one, and that both the
freight and passenger business show
a healthy increase. The gross earn
ings of the Wilmington & Weldon
road weae $1,135,532, and the ex
penses $587,102.65; net receipts $548,
129 67.
The report of operations of the
Wilmington, Columbia A Augusta
Uailroad shows' that tne gross earn
ings were $779,988.82, the expenses
$539,340 72, and the net receipts
$240,648 10.
Of the work accomplished the past
year, the following is an epitome :
They hare extended the Scotland
Neck b. anch from Scotland Neck to
Conehoe Creek, a distance of twelre
miles from its present terminus, or
thirty miles from its junction with
the Wilmington A Weldon Railroad,
and the grading is completed to the
Albemarle A Baleigh Railroad, a dis
tance of twelre miler, making twenty
four miles. The rails and cross-ties
hare been secured, and the company
is laying the track from Conehoe to
the Albemarle & Baleigh Railroad,
which will be completed during the
present year, and ready for opera
tion. The. contract has been made
for grading from there to a point
near Greenrille.
They hare .also constructed 297
miles irom the State line towards
I'ayetterille, being part of the Wilson
A Fayetterille branch, completed as
far . as a station called Rowland.
This, with the i Florence railroad,
commencing on the W-, O. A A. near
Pee Dee river, a distance of 24 47
miles, makes complete this part of
the line, from the Pee Dee, on the W.,
a & A R. R. to the station; Rowland.
The remainder of this line to jFay
etterille will be completed whenever
the company wishes the same to be
done.
The Manchester A Augusta rail
road starts from Sumter, 8. C , going
in the direction of Augusta, Ga., and
has been completed to Halfway, or
Pine Log Swamp, a distance of 14
mfles. The remaining four miles
have been, let to contract.
This company has agreed with the
Richmond A Danrille Railroad Com
pany to furnish one-half the money
necessary for building the Chowan A
Southern Railroad from Portsmouth
to Tarboro, with a terminal in Nor
folk, for which large expenditures
hare been made.
i It is gratifying to note that there
has been a considerable increase in
the local freight and passenger busi
ness, the number of local passengers
having increased 24.4 and the reve
nue 13.5 per oent, and this too while
the local passenger rates Were de
creased 12 per cent, and an addi
tional train, both north and south
bound, was run the year round to
serve the local business of the road.
It has given such satisfaction to the
public that the General Manager re
commends that, while its receipts
hare i not equalled its expenses, it
should be continued as a permanency,
i The trucking business dereloped
by the Atlantic Coast Dispatch Line,
for the shipment of early rege tables
and fruits to Northern markets, has
been beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine, and a large increase
in this business is anticipated the
coming year, particularly irom local
points on the Wilmington A Weldon
Railroad..
It is proposed to relay the Clinton
branch road with steels, although the
road has been operated at a loss this
rear as expected.

Durham Tobacco Plant.
At a regular meeting of the mayor
and comm'BPioners of the town of
Durham, hy November 20th, 1888.
it was r8olved that a statement be
prepared of certain recent occur
rences in the town, respectirg one
G. Jordan, in order to satufy numer
ous inquiries.. and thereupon the fol
lowing wa. prepared and adopteJ
and is believed to bo a statement of
matters connected therewith :
In 1885 one E G Jordan appeared
in Durham.; He c'aimel to be a
blacksmith by trade, and called him
self "Professor Jordan." He waa re
ported to have been run away from
two towns in this State, before com
ing here. He was here but a short
time before he was arrested as a com
mon nuisance, being a loud and
boisterous profane swearer on the
public streets. He was also arrested
as a disturber ox the peace. He was
convicted of both and required ti
gire bond for good beharior. At
that time rery few, if any, persons
knew his politics.
Soon afterwards he became noisy
and disposed to be turbulent. He
was evidently a man of a bad heart
and given to jBOwing disoord and dis
content in the community. He was
notoriously regarded as an anarchist,
who boldly and defiantly declared his
principles, and who sought to instil
those notions; in the negroes.
He proclaimed the social! equality
of the blacks with the whites and set
himself up as the special champion of
the negroes, by whom he was nomi
nated for the;! office of constable of
this township, in this year. A few
weeks before the election he declared,
in a speeoh made in the publio hall
of the town, to a convention of ne
groes, that he had lived in twenty
eight Stales of the Union, and a few
days before the election he boasted
that "after the election we negroes
will control this county."
During the; week preceding the
election be was reported as holding
secret meetings at night with the ne
groes,! he being the only white
man present. On the night of the
election, the county haying reversed
its political completion and gone
democratic, ! wiping : out its small
republican majority of two years ago,
the negroes; were riolent in manner
and inoendiary in languapp. , A rail
road camp waa raided and: one hun
dred dynamite cartridges and a keg
of blasting powder stolen by the ne
groes, and Mr.,C. B. Green, chairman
of the democratic county executive
committee was- notified, by a negro,
on election night, that there was a
plan on foot1 to injure him that night.
Che people were very much excited
and all believed Jordan to be the in
citer of all the; disturbance and the
leader of the negroes.
At 2 o'clock that night, while Mr.
Green was absent, his house was sat
urated with kerosene oil and set on
fire and his wife and children barely
escaped with their lives. The senti
ment of the community was almost
unanimous r that Jordan, baring
threatened that there erould be trou
ble, was either the actual incendiary
or the instigator of the burning
It became the Opinion, of the citizens
generally, that . if he did not leave
much bloodshed would ensue, for the
rwmle were then wrOucht up to the
highest pitch of exogement, not
knowing what would next be attempt
ed. In this state oi anairs some young
men, carrying out the demand of the
best citizens oi tne sown, iook it on
themselves to notify him to leave.
Fher did so. and be not Boing, they
took him out in a carriaere to make
him tro. Other citizens, fearing they
mieht do him bodily harm, offered to
im that he left' on the next train if
released. He was then readily re
leased and tie citizens contributed
the monev to pay the fare of his f am
ily and bdmself-it is not believed that
it was intended by the young men to
kill or injure him.
After Jordan left the excitement
abated, quiet was easily restored and
there has been so further outbreak or
violence of any kind, and it is the gen
eral feeling of the community, with
out resrard to poRtica or color, that
his departure was a happy riddance.
We will simply add, as to Jordan's
character and the weight to be at
tached to his statements, that there
i. atronff suspicion and current ru
I mor in the community that he has
I. . ft- Tift - .
i been IOC some time guusy oi incesiu
1 0us intercourse with his daughter.
Durham is and will be a safe and
happy home for good men of any lat
itude or! politics, but not for men of
the Jordan class. . we pity any com
munity Where lie would be welcome
if his true character was known
We beliere the above to be a true
and fair! statement of the incidents
connected with Jordan's departure.

A HORBIBLK MURDER.
A Farmer In Cleveland 1'eantjr Shot Dow
l Ula own Door.
Special to the News and Observer.
Shixbt, N. C, Nor. 22 The most
horrible and cold-blooded murder in
the annals of Cleveland connty was
committed last night shortly after
dark. James Phil beck, a thrifty and
industrious farmer, 60 years old, who
lives four miles west of Shelby, was
called to h's back door by a man who
said he had a note fronva friend and
was shot down in the most cold
blooded way, one ball entering hia
right nostril and the other the roof
of the mouth. Hia wife, who had
followed him to the door, was com
pelled to surrender all the money she
had a ten dollar bill and about three
dollars in silver. The burglar then
cursed her and said she had more, as
her husband had just sold eeren
bales of cotton. She offered him
the keys and said he could
search the house and that she would
strike a light, the wind coming from
the open door having extinguished
the lamp. ' As she struck a match the
burglar put a pistol to her face and
shot her under the left eye, the ball
ranging downward, and then he made
his escape. Mrs. Philbeck was un
conscious for about half an hour,
when with a great effort ehe made
her way to the house of Perry Love- j
lace, her brother-in-law, about fifty
yards away. The latter heard the
shots, but thought Philbeck was urv
loading lumber. He at once sum
moned assistance, but the murderer
had made his escape, leaving no track
behind him. Mrs. Philbeck could
not identify the man, but says she
thinks he is either a white I
man or a bright mulatto. He
was evidently acquainted with the
premises. I'hilbeck and wife lived
alone, their children having married
or being at school. Sheriff Hamrick,
with a posse, is in search of the mur
derer but has no clue. . The people of
Shelby are greatly excited orer the
tragedy and if the man were caught
tonight he would be lynched. The
burglar was alone.

About 5 a m. on Wednesday morn

man named Henry Lowe who, ordi

occasionally had paryaoxms of riolent
On Tuesday ox election, as
we learn it, he applied to rote-but
was rejected because he had not reg
istered, which greatly afiecUd him.
He was living with Mr. Matt. Wood,
of Perquimans county, and on
Wednesday morning last, just before
day he knocked at the door of the
bedroom of Mr. Wood, and being re
fused admittance, he fired through
the door, striking Mr. Wood on the
face. He then burst in the door
and fired another shot at Wood in
flicting a fatal wound in the breast
from which Wood died immediately.
He then turned upon his own brother
Who had come in and fired at him,
striking and breaking his arm.
He then sought Mrs. wood, who es
caped from the window with her
children. Two of the neighbors came
in, aroused by the commotion, and
met Lowe in the yard with his pistol,
which was emptied. When he saw
them he commenced to run, but upon
being halted and warned of his dan
ger, and a rifle presented, he stopped
and was arrested, lie was then taxen
to jail, where he is now confined.
This case presents a question of re

casuists. IX conscious or the crime
which he was committing when the
act was done, the act was murder; if
unconscious of homicidal intent, then
it was the act of an irresponsible man.

The New York Times of Tuesday
says : Mr. Jay Gould is credited with
owning over 50,000 shares of Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe stock in one
Boston brokerage office. The same,
brokers were big buyers of Riehmocd i
Terminal yesterday, and the Street'
surmised it was for Mr. Gould, too.
The relations of the Terminal (by uso
of the , Memphis A Charleston) at
Memphis with Mr. Gould's system
are to be peculiarly close, as plans to
be made pnblio soon will show. Per
haps there is truth after all in the
Wall street gossip that Mr. Gould's
sons are to become Terminal direc
tors. The Terminal directors yester
day accepted an invitation to visit the
big Exposition at Augusta, Ga. Not
only the Exposition managers, but
the Mayor of Augusta and a special
citizens' committee, joined in the in
vitation, which was presented through -Mr.
Marion J. Verdery of this city, a
former resident of the thrifty Georgia
town. President J H. Inman, Col. Cal
vin S- Brice, Capt.i John C. Calhoun,
Gen. T. M. Logans and other direc
tors will probably make up the visit
ing party, whose trip will begin the
latter part of this week. Mr. Verdery
will go as the guest of the directors.
This visit of the Terminal Board to
Augusta ought to ibe productire of
?reat good to the Terminal interests,
here has been a feeling, but thinly
disguised, of opposition in the South
to the recent mores of the Terminal
Company in gaining control of so
great a portion of the Southern rail
way system. This visit and the good
fellowship.it will be sure to develop
between Southern citizens and North
ern financiers, ought to go far toward
removing much of the existing op
position. !
