The following rery interesting re

Sun, regarding the probable absorp

"The report that the Coast Line
Company will get the Louisville and
iNasbvule waa freely discussed in
financial circles here vesterdav. and
the general impression prevailed that
it is well rounded.
"I think Mr. Morgan has already
practically, turned the road to the
Coast Line, said a member of one of
the leading banking firms.
"Mr. Henry Walters and Mr. Mich
ael Jenklntv who control the affairs of
the Coast Line, are out of the city.
Mr. Walters Is thought to be in New
York and would likely conduct the
negotiations with Mr. Morgan or his
representative. Mr. Jenkins left Bal
timore Thursday with .bis family for the
wnite Mountains, wbere he ex ports
to remain until September. Mr. Wa
ters isorice president of the Coast Line
Bailroad Company- and president of
the parent company. Mr. Jenkins is a
director o f the former and vice-president
of the latter. Mr. Waldo New
comer, another Coast Line official, is

"mat tbe Atlantic Uoast Line may
being the Louisville and Nashville is
considered quite possible by leading
financiers or the city. The two roads
do not parallel anywhere and have a
physical connection at Augusts, Ga.,
through the Georgia railroad which
runs from Atlanta to Augusta and
which is leased jointly by them.
"Such a deal, it is said, would elim
inate that hostility in Tennessee and
Kentucky which has been aroused by
the rumor that the Louisville and
Nashville will be merged with the
Southern Railway. These roads par
allel and are competitors in both
States, and, following the report,
Governor McMillin, of Tennessee,
has threatened to call a special ses
sion of the Legislature to pass a law
that would prevent a merger. It is
not believed here that Mr. Morgan
over contemplated a consolidation of
the two .roads. It is thought, how
ever, tnat wnen ne pare nas ea tne
Louisville and Naabviiie ne naa in
view its transfer to the Coast Line.
"Messrs. Morgan & Co. manage the
Southern Railway and have been
working in complete harmony with
the Coast Line. When the latter
absorbed the Plant system it gave the
Southern valuable trackage privileges.
The purchase and division of the Cape
Fear and Yadkin valley railroad Dy
the Coast Line and Southern and
Messrs. Morgan & Co. s acquisition of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad and its subsequent delivery
to the Coast Line are cited as the best
evidence of the most friendly relations
between the two interests. The ab
sorption of the Louisville and Nash
ville would give the uoast Line con
trol of the railroad situation in the
southeast of the Mississippi river. The
system would be operated In such bsr
monv with the Southern Railway, it is
said that it would be practically equiv
alent to a merger.
The outstanding stock or tbe
Louisville and Nashville amounts to
$50,000,000, and if the plan of Morgan
& Co. to pay $150 a share for it is car
ried, $90,000,000 will be required to
complete tbe deal.
"In round numbers the combined
mileage of the Coast Line system and
the Louisville and Nashville is 9,400."

caught between the moving train and
the platform of the sound station and
severely bruised about the limbs and
body. His knee struck one of the
wheels of the moving train and was
laid open.
Private Lester and a number of
soldier companions boarded the train
on the beach, thinking a stop would
be made at the sound. When the
sound was reached and there was no
sign of a halt, the soldiers jumped,
Private Lester having attempted to
get on the station platform. He saved
himself from being crushed under the
wheels by hanging on to the train and
being dragged some distance. The in
jured man was taken on a stretcher to
the "Hammocks," where his wounds
were dressed by the camp physicians.
He was gived a berth on a Pullman

nority in the House in 1895 and 1897,
as member of the State Platform Com
mittee in the last three State convention-,
as solicitor, as campaigner, Mr.
Duffy has shown ability of a high or

He is a Democrats of Democrats
and his devotion to the principles
of the party, in which he is thor
oughly indoctrinated, is as pro

C, SUNDAY, JULY 27,
GEORGIANSRETURNED
Hftb Regiment Broke Camp
Yesterday Afternoon at
"The Hammocks."
OUTINQ A GREAT SUCCESS.
Troops Msde a Most Favorable Impres
sion Here News and Notes from
the Now Deserted Tented City.
On Two Special Trains.
After a delightful encampment of
eight days, during which every condi
tion was especially favorable to camp
life, the men of the Fifth Regiment,
Georgia State Troops, "olded their
tenta and silently stole away" from
the "Hammocks" at Wrightsville
Beach' yesterday afternoon.
With the passing of the soldier boys,
Camp Terrell became a thing of the
past, but In the minds of the Georgia
militia will linger many pleasant
memories of.the place and the people
by whom they were entertained.
Lieut. Col. Anderson, commanding
the regiment, and Capt. Burton Smith,
adjutant, ask to be quoted as fully ap
preciative of the courtesies shown
them and their men, with the assur
ance that all have enjoyed their stay
at tne oeacn and win want to eome
again.
The troops moved in two sections of
a special over the Seaboard Air Line
railroad, the first section of 13 coaches
with the companies on board, having
departed at 3:30 P. M. The second
section was made up entirely of Pull
mans and carried the officers of the
regiment, their families and friends.
It started a few minutes after the first
section and both are expected to reach
Atlanta by 10 o'clock this morning.
The evacuation of the camp was the
work of only a short time. The usual
camp exercises, with the exception of
guard mount, were strictly observed
up to the hour of the regiment's de
parture, when the men were ordered
out in dress parade formation, passing
in review and then to the cars in
waiting, by companies.
The people of Wilmington, the
beach and the sound have received a
most favorable impression of the Geor
gia militia and all will welcome them
again. The regiment has an unusually
excellent Btaff of officers and the men
are well-behaved, under thorough dis
cipline and are soldiers to the manner
bora.
Adjutant General Boyster, Col. F.
A Macon and Maj. Wm. Landif, who
reviewed the troops on Friday after
noon, speak in the highest terms of
the men and their officers. The party
remained in camp Friday night aa
guests of the Georgia regiment's offi
cers and left yesterday afternoon for
their homes.
The reception at the Atlantic Yacht
Club Friday night was a fitting finale
to the festivities of the encampment
and the clever club officials and Capt
Adrian, of the Wilmington Light In
fantry, and his staff of officers did all
in their power to make their guests
enjoy themselves.
BOYS' BRIQADE ENCAMPMENT.
It Came to a Close at Sootbport Early
Yesterday Moroiat The Outing.
The fifth annual encampment of the
First Battalion,Boys' Brigade of Amer
ica, came to a close at Southport at 4
I o'clock yesterday morning, and the
well disciplined and popular young
soldiers reached the city on the early
boat, fully enthusiastic over the out
ing and appreciative of the many
courtesies shown them by the hospit
able people of Southport. The boys
also feel very grateful to Cape John
W. Harper, of the steamer Wilming
ton, who furnished them transporta
tion free of cost and showed them
many other courtesies.
The encampment this year was th
most successful in the history of the
Brigade. The boys behaved them
selves well and the weather was all
that could be desired. There was
plenty of good fishing and numer
ous other forms of entertainment.
The social feature of camp life was
not disregarded by any means, as
many of the young people of South-
port and Wilmington can testify.
A. C. L. Auditing Department.
A telegram from New York last
night announced the receipt in that
city of circulars issued several days
ago from the general offices here an
nouncing Coast Line appointments as
follows: Geo. S. LeGrand, auditor of
passenger receipts; B. S. Mclver, aud
itor of freight receipts; Spencer Le
Grand, assistant auditor of freight re
ceipts; H. H. McKee, auditor of dis-
bursementslmd B. A. Williamr, assis
tant auditor of disbursements. All with
headquarters in Wilmington.
The Canteen Dlda't Pay.
The canteen established by the Fifth
Georgia Regiment at Camp Terrell,
where beer, cigars, cigarettes and soft
drinks were dispensed to the soldiers
in the late encampment, was not a
financial success, so it is said. This
fact shows the sobriety of the Georgia
troops. Usually when drinks are . not
so convenient there is much drunken
ness and disorder on the part of some
of the militiamen, but Camp- Terrell
was an exception. The canteen didn't
pay expenses. -

COMES FOR PHILLIPS TO-DAY.
Petersburg Chief of Police Will Arrive
This Morniog Farther Particulars.
Chief of Police Bagland, of Peters
burg, Vs., is expected in the city this
morning for the young man, Geo. W.
Phillips, whose arrest in Wilmington
Friday midnight was noted in the Stab
yesterday.
The Petersburg correspondent of the
Bichmond Dispatch writing to that
paper before" the arrest, says:
"The young man. George W. Phil-
I lips, wbo, it is alleged, robbed Mrs.
Jessie P. Lambert of $50 in money and
$75 worth of jewelry and then fled
rrom tbe city on Wednesday, has not
yet neen apprebended. it was thought
tnat ne went rrom nere to Hicbmond,
nut it is now believed tbat he bought a
ticket through to Chicago, and that he
is now beyond the jurisdiction of this
utate.
It is now asserted by Mr. E. H.
Plummer, a furniture instalment mer
chant, by whom Phillips had been
employed as salesman for several
months, that in the matter of collec
tions and secret saleF, Phillips has vic
timized him to the amount of $100 or
more. Strenuous efforts will be made
to locate the young man and bring
mm to justice
Beach Arrivals and Departures.
Among yesterday's arrivals to and
from the beach were Messrs. J. D.

The FiBhlng at Southport.
The fishing just now at Southport is
said to be exceptionally fine. Col.
Walker Taylor, who returned' to the
city yesterday from the encampment
of his brigade there the past ten days,
caught 101 fine trout in three days and
he doesn't profess to be an experienced
"piscatorialist," .either. Mr. Jas. S.
Williams, of this city, who is now at
Southport, last night sent, up to a
friend in Wilmingtoa a very large
one of the "finny tribe" which must
have weighed at least 12 or 15 pounds.
Throngs at the Be.cb.
Despite the departure of the Georgia
troops and many of their friends yes
terday, Wrightsville beach was again
thronged last night and It doesn't take
a prophet or the son of a . prophet to
foretell that thereSwill be hundreds at

Seventy-VIrat Town hi p.

Editor Stab: In reply to Major
Hale's article in a recent issue of the
Fayetteville Observer, in regard to the
primary of Bay's precinct, 71st town
ship, Cumberland county, I desire to
say that I was one of three Brown men
that participated in that primary. The
vote of the primary was Brown 3,
Bellamy 6, Hale 8. - Major uaie s
friends worked hard to bring out tneir
vote, with the result stated. There were
fully 50 men within a radius of 3 miles
of the voting precinct tnat wouia nave
voted for Bellamy naa tney oeen
there, and If necessary, their names
can be produced. Had there been a
motion to endorse a canuiuato iur
rvinomuui at our primary, the three
who voted for Brown would have
voted for Bellamy in order to give
him a majority, xnere is no aoupt
hnt what Bellamy would have re
ceived the endorsement of our town
ship, had any enaorsement been
made. Being an old school mate of
Maior Hale, and an old fellow soldier.
J am sorry that his political course
hasjmade it impossible for me to sup
port him for the nomination for Con
gress, tnougn lr nominated, x wiu
vote for him. D. B. Gillis.
