The Proposed Consolidation of Various
Branches of the Seaboard Air Line
in This State.
Dreyfus' Case Hopeless and Con
demnation Certain If He Will
Not Intervene.
ANXIETY IS VERY GREAT.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star
Raleigh, N. C, September 6. A
general meeting of the stockholders
of the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad
Company was held here this afternoon
in the office of the company. It was
decided to accept the amendments to
the charter granted by the last Legis
lature authorizing consolidation of the
various branches of the Seaboard Air
Line in this State.
The consolidation of these roads is
preliminary to the formation of the
Seaboard Railway Company, which
will include the Seaboard Air Line
'system, the Georgia and Alabama
Railroad Company, the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsula Railway Company.
Consideration of other matters re
ferred to in the call, terms and condi
tions of the consolidation and increase
of the capital stocks together with all
nnpQt.irtne trmxtrincr mit nf tha wncnl-
dation, was postponed till September
27th, when another meeting will be
held here.
A resolution was passed ratifying a
subscription of about $250,000 which
had been previously made to the
Chesterfield and Kershaw railroad,
and authorizing further subscriptions
to the stock of this road, not to
exceed 1,000,000.
The financial plan was not discussed,
and it is understood that it has not yet
been definitely determined. The
amount of stock and bonds to be issued
it is certain will be smaller than any
railroad system in the South. This is
a detail that will be fixed at another
meeting, to be held here on September
27th, as will also the scale of values of
stock in the various roads to be con
solidated: Each stockholder in any
road now owned by the Seaboard will
be given in exchange for his stock,
stock in the consolidated road, the
amount to be fixed by a scale of values
yet to be adopted.
Among the stockholders present at
the meeting were President John
Skelton Williams, Richmond; Vice
President St. John, Portsmouth; J.
William Middendorf, Baltimore; John
M. Sherwood, Portsmouth; Legh R.
Watts, Norfolk; Messrs. McGill and
Leavenworth, Petersburg.
The visitors came in on a special
train, arriving here at 3.45. They left
at 6 o'clock for Atlanta, where a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Georgia,
Carolina and North prn T?a 1 1 i-na ri will
be held to-morrow. From there they
will go to Augusta and thence to
Charleston.
A TRADES UNION MAN.
President McKialey Elected a Member of
the Bricklayers and Stone Masons'
International Union of Chicago.
Bt Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Chicago, September 6. President
McKinley is now a trades union man.
He was to-day elected a member of the
Brick-layers and Stone Mason's Inter
national Union, No. 21, of Chicago.
President Gubbins, of the union
said that since the chief executive was
ia.y me corner-stone of the new
postoffice, it was necessary that the
i1iesident Join tno uni0n before he is
allowed to handle a trowel in Coke
county. A card of honorary member
ship was made out for the President
to day, but it will not be forwarded to
him until the matter has been further
discussed.
"We will have to take the card
away from him," said Secretary Stamm
to day, "if Mr. McKinley sets a stone
prepared by non-union labor, which
the stone intended for the corner of
the new postoffice is. He will be de
prived of all thn ViAnAfita nf ,
, j lug uiuuil
and we, as a national organization,
will strike on any building in any part
of the United States at which he lays
a corner-stone or does any construc
tion work."

Startling Incident.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Rennes. September 6. The salva
tion of Captain Dreyfus hangs on a
word from Emperor William. This is
the general opinion here to-night. If
the Kaiser consents to allow Colonel
Schwartskoppen, the German mili
tary attache in Paris in 1894, to testify
before the court martial or to send a
deposition ; or, what is considered still

then Drevfus is saved.
If the Emperor, however, decides

Germany for Colonel Schwartz koppen
to intervene, then Dreyfus' case is

It can be safely asserted that tbe
admission of Cernuschi as a witness
for the prosecution came as a veritable
God-send to the defence, giving them
almost at the last moment a more or

application to summon the German

Roanoke, Va , Sept. 6. One of the
most serious accidents in the history
of the Norfolk and Western railroad
occurred this morning near Narrows,
a station on the Radford division. Two
coaches of an east bound passenger
train jumped the track and rolled
down a thirty-foot embankment. Two
persons were killed And twnti.A;hi
more or less injured. The dead are
A. B. Luck, a contractor, of Roanoke,
and an infant, name unknown, of
Bluefield, W. Va.
All the injured will recover. Their
wounds are mostly cuts and bruises.
They were able to be moved, and
some continued on their journey. A
party or eight were brought to Roan
oke to-night and received the neces
sary medical attention.
It is said the spreading of a rail
.caused the accident. A wrecking.train
with physicians from Roanoke was
sent to the scene of the wreck this
evening. Traffic was delayed only a
few hours on account of the wreck.
Another Fatal Disaster.
Williamson-, W. Va., September 6.
Seven persons were killed by a
freight train wrecked to-day in Din

Western railway. The dead are:
Frank R.Archer, brake man; Charles
Booth, brakeman; John Chaffin, fire
man; iour tramps, names unknown.
TROUBLE IN VENEZUELA.
By Cable to the Mornlna Star.
London, September 6. To-day's
news sheds no light upon the Trans
vaal crisis. The signs which the
English are accustomed to see just
previous to a war continue, aad from
these any number of sensational de -ductions
may be drawn.
General opinion tends to the belief
that the cabinet council will result in
an ultimatum, followed by an imme
diate back-down of the Boers or the
commencement of hostilities by Great
Britain.
Pretoria, September 6. The latest
reply of the Transvaal republic to the
British demands has been published.
In this reply regret is expressed that the
proposals of Great Britain are unac
ceptable. The Transvaal government
admits Great Britain's rights under
the convention of international law to
protect her subjects, but denies a claim
of suzerainty. The reply agrees to a
further conference regarding the fran
chise and representation.
Johannesburg, September 6. At a
meeting of the war commission held at

provisioning the town in the event of
hostilities.
Commander Viljoen, of the Trans
vaal forces, says that martial law will
be proclaimed immediately on the re
ceipt of aa ultimatum from Great
Britain.
Regarded as an Insult.
London, September 7. The Stan
dard, referring to an abstract of the
reply of the Transvaal government to
Mr. Chambertain as given out by the
xransvaai agent in .Brussels, says:
"The dispatch is a positive insult to
the British government. Clearly . we
are within measurable distance of an
ultimatum."
London, September 7. 4 A. M. The
Colonial Office officials were busy

Dispatches have baen passing by
special messenger between the Queen
and Lord Salisbury for the last few
days.
The Ti tnes advises the government
to convoke Parliament immediately,
if necessary, to vote the needed sup
plies, adding that a further loss of
time may be dangerous and humiliat
ing. Earlv this mnrnincr th of
fice began to receive the reply of the
Transvaal government direct. Mr.
Chamberlain, on being requested to
make a statement, declined to do so
until after the cabinet council to
morrow (Friday).
The Times prints a dispatch from its
Johannesburg correspondent, describ
ing the steps which led to his flight.
Commenting on the general situation
he remarks: "Further negotiation
will only make Great Britain ridicu
lous and will be fatal. The only way
to avoid war and to settle the affair is
to demand disarm amont an1 m&lra o

To-day's public proceedings were
marked by three important episodes.
The first was General Zurlinden's ad
mission that the erasure and restitu
tion of Esterhazy's name in the petit
Weu could not have been perpetrated
by Colonel Picquart, and consequent
ly must be attributed to some one in
side the general staff.
The second was the declaration by
M. Paloleogue that the secret dossier
contained a document which showed
that CoL Schwartzkoppen admitted
his relations with Esterhazy, and that

Paloleoeiie. sAnt tn siukn.. iu.

entical petit bleu for which Colonel
Picquart was detained ten months on
a charge of forgery.
The third was General Billot's in
sinuation that Esterhazy and Captain
Dreyfus were accomplices, which led
to an impassioned protestation on the
part of the aocused and to a thrilling
scene between M. Labori and Colonel
Jouaust's treatment of him, a denun
ciation tantamount to an accusation of
open partiality.
A Startling Incident.
General Zurlinden's admission that
Oolonel Picquart could have not per
petrated the erasure in the petit bleu
was a startling incident Then the
Statement h nf PaliniA..i..i n.i.
nel Schwartzkoppen had admitted that
it was almost certain that the petit
bleu was sent by him or caused to be
sent by him to Esterhazy caused a sen
sation, as being the first official testi
mony to the treason nf F.cto !, a j
it was certainly a strong point in favor
of Dreyfus, the importance of which
was immediately seen by the prosecu
, shown subsequently in Gen
eral Billot's broad insinuation of com
plicity between Dreyfus and Esterhazy.
From a spectacular point of view,
however, the great event of the sitting
was the battle royal between M. La
bon and Colonel Jouaust over certain
questions which the advocate wished

fluence of his deep feeling of indigna
tion and his belief that Colonel Jou
aust was deliberately gagging him in
the interest of the military clique. His
voice, which at first resounded through
the court room, became choked with
emotion. The spectators held their
breath as he retorted, ' defiantly, to
lolonel Jouaust's refusal to put the
questions, his words drowning Jou
aust s voice in an irresistible torrent,
whose force was heightened by his
passionate gestures.

Washington. September 6. After
an unusually long period of peace,
trouble. has again appeared in Vene
zeula and a revolutionary movement
is now in progress. The information
has come to the State Department
from an unofficial source, but one be
lieved to be trustworthy. The extent
of the movement is' not known here
but as there have been for some time
past rumors of serious discontent, it

manifestation should prove to be of
large proportions.
The Navy Department to-day sent
orders to the Detroit, which has just
arnvcu at -rnuaaeipma from New
York, to proceed at once to La Gua
yara, Venezuela. She will coal and
start on the voyage in the course of
two or three days. The Detroit should
make the run to La Guayara inside
of ten days. The presence of an Amer
ican warship may have a good effect
in maintaining th nnfifon. u
resident Americans and other for
eigners in their safety. The extent of
the disaffection is not known here,
though it is said that ever since the
last election there have been mutter

Connellsville, Pa., September 6.
Probably fifty persons were injured
in a rear-end collision on the Balti
more and Ohio railroad to-niirht at
Connellsville station. The presence
of mind of Engineer John Haggerty
saved the lives of many. Many of the
injured continued on their journey
and their names could not be learned.
The first section of train No. 5 and
an emigrant special of eight Wagner
sleepers ran into the rear end of the
Cumberland accommodation. Both
trains were west bound. Engineer

passengers. Engineer Haggerty. who
was oiling his engine, threw
tne inrottie wide open upon seeing
the runaway train coming. The ac
commodation train lurched forward
but not quite quick enough to escape
a collision. The crash was terrific.
Two coaches of the accommodation
were wrecked, the rear end of the
last one being crushed as though it
bad been an egg-shell.
None of the passengers on the
through train was severely injured.
