Henry Watterson, of the Louis ville Courier-Journal, was in Mem phis a day or two ago he lost $1,900 in a sociable game of draw in a fash ionable club. Murray Keller, a well known horse owner of Louisville, was also in the game. The other players were local men of good standing. The game was started to while away the time, each player taking out $5 worth of chips, valued at ten, twenty-five and fifty Cents each. Mr. Watterson suggested that the bridle be removed, and the game was made table stakes. Henry ran in tough luck. After losing about S3OO he made a “dog” with the five next to the seven and caught a six and seven. The editor played his hand for what he thought it was worth, and forced his opponent to call a bet of SSOO. The game broke up about 2 a. m., and when the banks opened Mr. Watterson dfew for expenses. Keller lost about SBOO in the game. The winnings were pretty evenly di vided by the Memphisans. The story was kept Be%et until to-day, when Keller told l to a coterie of friends at the race track. The shoe manufacturers of Massa chusetts are not only stirred up over the proposed duty on hides, but also about the advance of 100 per cent in the duty on thread, which will be brought about by the new duty on flax. . t j : (TURMOIL AT DURHAM. AN EXCITING RAILROAD WAR BEING WAGED. Oxford and Clarksville Men Ar rested While Trying To Tear Up The Durham & Northern Track— One of the Men Arrested and Brought to Raleigh for Trial— Great Excitement. It was learned here yesterday after noon that some lively scenes were being enacted in Durham in conse quence of the Richmond and Dan ville people attempting to tear up the Durham and Northern track along Peabody street on the strength of Judge Annfield’s decision refusing to grant a restraining order. The News and Observer at once tele graphed to Durham for particulars. From the Durham papers received from Durham last night, an l from information gained from other sources the particulars were learned. The Durham Hun says: Durham is today stirred from centre to cir cumference. There is a-strong feel ing here for the D. & N. road, and very nautrally, too, for the town lias subscribed SIOO,OOO to this road, and a great many of our people wish to see it on an equal footing with other roads. About dark yesterday afternoon, the D. &N. began to fill up their track from the electric light house to Duke’s factory with box cars and fiats. This was noted by our citizens and they began to congregate in squads and discuss the matter. Pre vious to that time the R. & 1). and O. & C., had bad their tracks blocked up with cars at every point, until the side tracks and switches around the depot presented a perfect sea of box, cars. Most of these were moved out and the ways cleared by yesterday, except the track on Peabody street from the R. & D., ticket otlice to near Duke’s factory It was learned yesterday aiternooi that the case argued at chambers be fore Judge Armfield, at Raleigh, aim concluded yesterday, bad been de cided against the D. & N., and g rapidly spread through town that tin defendants would tear up the track of the D. & N. A material train came rolling in .with a large squad of hands, who were stationed where they could not be readily seen, and the Hying rumors seemed to do wen lounueu. At iwght citizens congregated on the streets and on the railroad track talking the matter over and looking to see what was to be done. Mayor Christian, with a strong de termination to protect the road and the interest of the town, until the final hearing of he matter now pend ing in court, and which will come up at Pittsboro, appointed guards who watched the D. & N., road last night to see that no injury was done to it. The night passed quietly and there was no *at tempt made to disturb a single spike or rail. About seven o’clock this morning however, some of the colored hands, with crow-bars, let into the D. & N., near the market house like a hawtt upon a chicken, but two or three were arrested before tney cou-d gel down to work. This drew forth anxious crowds, who desired to see the result, and the railroads were lined with an immense outpouring of all classes of our people. The arrested people were taken to the Mayor’s office. About 8 o’clock another squad of hands, headed by two of the white managers, let into the track near the electric light house, like they would tear up the entire neighboroood in that vicinity, making bolts and spikes fly. They worked vigorously for a few minutes. Policeman Faucett, was along the line, some distance off, and made a run, blew his whistle, and reached the scene before any rails had been torn up. He arrested both of the head men, catching hold of the ham mers they swung in breaking off the bolts. The feeling by this time, in the majority of that vast throng of people was one of great indignation towards the roads that sought to tear up the D. &N. track. The arrested parties were taken to the court house. A hearing of the case will be had Friday. The Mayor decided he had no right to interfere with that portion of the track which turns just at the coal shute and winds around the electric light house a distance of several hun dred feet. He holds, however, that this side of the coal shute the track strikes into Peabody street, and he will protect that street. In view of this turn in the matter, the D. & N. filled up that part of the track with cars, and about eleven o’clock the 11. & 1) cut one of their switches to swing it around to connect with that portion of the D. & N. road which bends away from Peabody street to run around the electric light house. Two large posts were sunk in the ground, just behind the ears, and where tlie track runs out into Pea body street. This being done the D. & N. track teas'then torn up just behind the post so that a connection could not be ‘made with the track running along that street. A oase is now pending, to be heard at Chatham court, involving the grant of right of way to railroads on Peabody street. Before the It. & D., or any of its connections, tear up any railroad, or even what they claim, they should patiently await a hearing and decision of this case. The town of Durham has an interest, and is a party to the action now pending, and therefore it is nothing more than is to be expected the town will defend her interests until the case is legally decided. The Mayor will defend Peabody street in the interests of this town, until the courts decide wo have no Peabody street. In this matter lie will be sustained by a large ma jority of this community, if put to a popular vote. In addition to the above the Globe says: “Just here Mr. \V. L. Moring, one of the force of the O. & C. road, under the direction of the attorney for the O. & G\, attempted to cut down the upright timber that the town authorities had placed on the track, and he was promptly arrested. This put the matter in a shape to be heard on habeas corpus proceed ings.” The 6.18 train from Durham yes terday evening brought Chief of Police J. A. Woodall, of Durham, who had with him Mr. W. L. Moring who was brought to Raleigh under a habeas corpus. Mr. Moring will be arraigned here before Judge Armfield this morning at 9.30 o’clock on a charge of trespass. Chief of Police W oodall was seen j by a News and Observer reporter at the Yarboro House last night and said that considerable excitement prevailed at Durham all day yester day in consequence of the railroad trouble. All the pol.-ce force of the town were on duty at the scene and people flocked there by hundreds The town authorities having planted the post tn Peabody street tin police stationed themselves there to prevent the O. & C. fovc( from proceeding fur.her. Tin m-i were ordered to rem ne the post and to proceed with aying the trade aim the first man to strike a li-k was Moring, who was at once arr ted It is under*too l tint the leg.i y o lie arrest and tlip question t> whether the O. has a ri-_ t< car up the D.
