The stockholders of the -Atlantic &
North Carolina B; &-vereV in session
last Tuesday. A majority of the stock
was .represented. Mr. F. M. Simmons
was the froxy for the State, The prin
cipal question for consideration was the
lease of the road. Hon. B. B. Bridgers
and Capt Jno. F. Divine were present
and submitted a proposition for a lease.
Mr. W. J. Best was also present and
likewise submitted a proposition for a
lease. The yotes taken rhowed very
plainly that the private stockholders
were in favor of leasing the road to Col.
Bridgers and Capt. Divine, representing
the WOmiDgto.A vjTeldqn B. R. It
being ascertained that such was the will
of the private , stockholders, and
that the question would be brought
to a decision at the afternoon session,
Mr. Simmons, the State proxy, absented
himself, and hence there was no quorum,
and the meeting was compelled to ad
journ. finbsermentlv. a nrivate meeting: of
- y F i "
the stockholders was held, and the propo
sition; to lease to the Wilmington &
Weldon B. B. was endorsed as follows :
The following was offered by Major
John Hughes: t ,
Resolved. That with the lights now
before us; we desire to express preference Go where you will you will find peo
for the proposition for a lease of the ple using Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and
road to B. B. Bridgets and J. F. Di- unanimous in their testimony concern-
vine for the sum of thirty-three tnousana
dollars per annum, provided that the

Morehead. who voted in the negative,
explained his vote bv saying that he was
not willing at present to commit himself
to any one, as otner propositions migut
be made before final action.
These ttre the facts as we find them in
the formal report in the Newbern Nut
Shell. The call of shares, we should
have stated, .showed 12,666 belonging to
the State, and 4,071 to corporations and
individuals, represented at the meeting.
The proposition to lease to the vv.

Been, by the action of Mr. Simmons, the
Rfn-tft nmTT. who. it will be but fair to
presume, was acting under instructions
from Gov. Jarvis. The'question which
natnrallv rtisps in this connection is,
1 j -
would Mr. Simmons have withdrawn
from the meeting had it appeared prob-1
afoflrboldera favor -
MV nim w f- "
ed a lease to Mr. Best, otherwise the
Bichmond & Danville B. B.? This is a
very important question and one which
Gov. Jarvis will be expected to answer.
iW the present, therefore, we make no
trictureson his conduct.
There is also a very disagreeable
charge made asrainst Gov. Jams which
it will also behoove him to respond to.
a ; w
The Kinston Journal says that Gov
Jarvis stated openly on the stump, during
thf rftfieiit campaisrn. that "the will of
the puivate stockholders should be allow
- , in tlie matter" and that he
oge(j anow them to lease when-
ever they desired and to whom iney pre -
(erred." And yet the Journal tells us
that "before a vote was taken the State's
proxy stated that he had a letter from
the Governor which would require him
to withhold his vote if he saw that the
lease was about to be adopted, and re -
quested the meeting to adjourn to the
evening in order that he might telegrapn
to the Governor. The meeting adjourn
al tmA nn rpjissemblincr. the State's
WUU v (J '
proxy, in obedience to the Governor's tel
eirram. refused to vote on the question
and thus defeated the lease.

name of Henry Crews, who was indict"
ed and convicted at the last April term
of the Criminal Court of this county for
arson, having set fire to a building on
the very plantation in which he was then
attempting to conceal himself. For this
crime Crews was sentenced by Judge
Meares to a term of 20 years at hard
labor in the penitentiary, where he
was duly carried and delivered by the
proper officers from this county. The
other members of this little hiding party
were supposed to be George
Hill, colored, sentenced at the
same term to 6 years for larceny;
Shade Bannerman, for the same crime as
Hill and the same term of imprisonment
o years; uowara v alter, anas iawara

office, was sent from Jones county for
stealing a bag of cotton.
With the knowledge that there was
certainly one convict, and probably more, I
Mr. Harriss hastened at once to town
and lodged information with the proper
authorities. A party was immediately
made up, consisting of Dan Howard, C.
H. Strode, J. W. Whitney and Toney
Ashe who together, we believe, effected
the capture, on Mr. Sanders' place, of
Edward Walker, the tobacco factory rob

by a servant employed as cook on the

efforts in that direction. The two cap -

A Serious Strait.
The people ot this city, of all classes
and of all conditions, are placed in
serious strait just now because of the ex
treme scarcity of wood. There is al
most literally none in market. The arri-
w
vals during the past two weeks have been
very light and the little that has come in
has been taken uo at once on arrival at
very high prices. In moderate weather
this would not matter so much but du
rinsr the present cold and wet weather it
Tna Wnrr.P vP.rv serious
uiNkj mv vv w ef
affiiir. It i3 an emergency for
which our people are totally
unprepared and the natural result has
been much of suffering and actual dis
tress. .Taking all these facts into con
sideration the suggestion has been made
to us and we think it one that is wor
thy of consideration that the railroad
authorities here be requested to come to
the assistance of our entire people by
placing temporary low rates on wood
from such points where it may readily be
obtained and letting it be known among
the country people, so thati these
rates may be taken advantage of.
By thi3 mean3 the entire community
will be benefited and no one can possibly
be the loser. Perhaps the wood-dealers
here, whose stocks, we understand, are
almost entirely exhausted, might them-
selves make the necessary arrangements
with the railroad authorities and get in a
supply at once.
We throw out these suggestions, hop
in that they may meet with attention
during the extremity that is now apofl
n ww v
our people.'
