Ptais Mttsrlnr for Cossolidatlor With Tariff Asseclitloa Special Meetlax Oa March 18th Favorable Be, ports Proa Commltteej. ; j The seeminj: delay of the Seaboard Air Line officials in the matter of that extra passenger and mail train between Wilmington and Hamlet was the sub ject of some rather caustie remarks at the regular meeting yesterday after noon of the Board of Managers or the Produce Exchange. The matter was introduced by the submission of a report from the com mittee, appointed some time ago, and the discussion was general. All the correspondence in the case was read and the sentiment seemed to prevail that there was unnecessary delay on the part of the S. A. L. officials in in vestigating the conditions here as they had been invited to do several weeks ago. President Pearsall was instructed to write a personal letter to General Manager, Barr to the effect that his letters thus far had been un satisfactory and if there was continued delay the question would be taken up for further consideration at a meet ing of the Board on Mrch 18th. ; Mr. J. A. Taylor was in attendance upon the meeting of the Managers by nvitation, and addressed the Board on the matter of consolidating the Pro duce Exchange and the Tariff Asso ciation. The matter waa crone thor oughly over and on motion a commit tee, composed of President Pearsall and Messrs. Gt.' J. Boney, L. B. Rogers and J. A. Taylor, was appointed to nquire into the matter and report at the special meeting to be held at S P. M. on the 18th inst., as to the advi sability, machinery and cost of a freight bureau to be established in con nection with the Exchange. The committee on faster freight ser vice over the S. A. L. reported prompt action and compliance with the re quest of the Exchange by Superin tendent Barger and the committee waa discharged with thanks. There was also a favorable report from the committee to invite a promi nent speaker to address the business men of the city, and the same was ac cepted with thanks. The result of the committee's effort is that President George T. Winston, of the A. & M. College, will speak on Friday night in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, as pre- vioualy noted. Mr. D. L. Gore will introduce him. It is the committee's purpose to also have Mr. D. A. Tomp kins, of Charlotte, to address the busi ness men of the city in the near future. The other proceedings of the Board yesterday were principally routine and of an unimportant character. LOCAL DOTS. New York steamship will ar rive this morning.
