OOOyOOO Loss all Fiction Some In teresting Items About an Immense Estate. The Coxe family being well and favor ably known' in Charlotte and through out the State, the recently published Statement that they had been compelled to surrender deeds to coal lands valued at S2.000.000, excited a good deal of in terest among our people Anxious to get at the facts in the case, the reporter last night had an interview with Col. Frank Coxe, who explained that the re port as published was a grossly inaccu rate statement. It was published, no doubt, by Derringer, pr some tjf,-bis friends, and' was in iSftbsttfaofe 2$pjK lows: In the Common Pleas Court at Wilkesbarre, on last Monday, Eckley B. Coxe, State Senator from Wilkesbarre county, surrendered the deed to coal lands valued at about $2,000,000, which he had obtained by one of the sharpest pieces of legal practice ever known in this country. For the last twenty years the Coxe family have been striving to gain possession of very valuable, coal lands in Sugar Loaf and Black Creek townships, Wilkesbarre county, the property of the Derringer family. The lands at present belong to five members of the family, one of whom is Colonel C. M. Derringer, now of Washington, D. C. The case has repeatedly come before the courts of Wilkesbarre coun ty, and has twice been decided against the Coxes. In the fall of 1880 J. Jones Clark, a nephew of Colonel Derringer, residing in Philadelphia, commenced proceedings against his uncle for money due, and obtained a judgment of $230. This ' judgment was forwarded to Wilkesbarre county and entered in the prothonotary's office. Mr. Clark states that this was done merely to obtain a. lien upon Colonel Derringer's property, and not for the purpose of procuring any execution. Shortly after, without any instructions from Mr. Clark.and.it is supposed, acting in the interest of Mr. Coxe, the Philadelphia lawyers sent on and without any notice to Colonel Derringer had anexecution issued, on which the lands were sold by the sheriff and bought by Coxe's agent here for $300. When Colonel Derringer heard of this he immediately threatened legal proceedings unless Coxe surrendered the deeds. The latter at first refused, but finally was compelled to isubmit, and yesterday a decree was entered set ting aside the sheriff's sale, and the deeds were returned to Colonel Der ringer. The straight of the matter is this: Col. Coxe's grandfather, Tench Cox, who was a member of the First Con gress, Assistant Secretary of the' Treasury and Commissioner of tLe Rev enue, owned 200,000 acres of land in the wilds of Pennsylvania, which was in the hands of agents. The agents some times failed to pay the tax, and small tracts " were consequently sold. The Derringer family bought one tract of 1,000 acres on tax title, and the Coxe ; family "fought them;on it in the courts from that time up to four years ago. The case was first tried in the Superior court, and was decided against the Coxes,who;took it to the Supreme court, where they won it. This operation was: repeated .lwiee;j when the Derringer family, consisting of nine heirs.accepted terms offered by the Coxes. One of the Derringers, who refused to accept, r8 taiaed his ninth interest. This ninth interest was afterwards sold at auction at Wilkesbarre, and was bought in by the Coxe hairs The Derringers and Coxes have rented out the land to coal companies and divide the royalty. The $2,000,000 deed claimed to have been re covered by Derringer is simply the deed to his ninth interest, the same that was old at auction and bought in by the Coxes. There's no $2,000,000 about it, and it is an exceedingly small fraction of the Coxe estate. The Derringer in question is the orig inal inventor of he Derringer pistol. Hon. It. . Withers. Ex-Senator R. E. Withers, the Grand Commander of the Grand Lodge Knights Templar of the United States, who spent Tuesday with the conclave in this city, left yesterday morning for Danville, Va., to attend a meeting of the Knights at -that place. He left Danville. : yesterday evening for Philadelphia, to resume- his, attendance upon the Episcopal Convention, having left that body to make a flying trip to Charlotte. Mr. Withers says that the EDiscoDalians will be in session at Philadelphia for a week yet to come, During his stay in Charlotte he was en tertained by the Knights at the Central Hotel, where, to be sure, Mr. Eccles made it pleasant for him. Mr. Withers expressed himself as having been most favorably impressed with our people anel our city. i i Another Charlotte Boy in Lack. Yesterdai evening, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs Elizabeth Conrad, Bear Lewisville, in Forsyth county, Mr David H Jenkins, of Char lotte, was united in marriage to Miss Bettie M Conrad.

The Knights marched through the streets by threes to the banquet cham ber, where they sat down to an elegant, not to say sumptuous, entertainment. There was no programme agreed up on and no set speech as is usual on such occasions, but everybody made a speech during the evening and all literally went as "merry as a marriage bell.' The entertainment was all that could be desired, and met in the fullest de gree the fondest expectations of its pro jectors as well as the guestr. The remnants of the feast, which were quite considerable, were voted to be donated to the Charlotte Home and Hospital, a noble and worthy charity of the city. Sayage Murder atReidsyitle. ' From parties who arrived in the city yesterday on the north train, we learn ed the particulars of a" savage murder committed in that town Tuesday even ing about dark. The parties to the af fair were two colored men and they had been gambling in a house on the out skirts of town. In the course of their game they became involved in a quar rel, when one of them drew a pistol and shot at the other, missing his mark how ever. This broke up the game, and the negro that was shot at, went off and borrowed a shot gun paying fifty cents for the loan of it. He loaded it heavily with squirrel shot and then hunted up hispartner in the'game and was not loug in finding him. On finding the man for whom he was searching, the negro raised his gun and fired lodging the en tire contents of the gun in his opponents body, killing him almost instantly. The slayer was arrested and lodged in. jail Our informant could not get the names of the parties Thieves Afford Railroad Passengers a Rest for Ono Trip.

' The Richmond & Danville Railroad Raits. We mentioned yesterday something about two suits against the Richmond & Danville Railroad brought up in New York, and the following additional terns from the New York Tribune are interesting : In the complaint, after re citing the history of the Richmond and Danville, and its auxiliary organization the Richmond and West Point Ter minal, and the Richmond and Danville Extension companies the plaintiff al- eges that Clyde, Logan and Bryan in 1881 constituted the executive and finan cial committees of the three companies, and that they conspired together to sell their large holdings of the stocks of these companies by advancing the prices of them far beyoud their real value. Iu consequence of this conspir acy it is saidthe stocks were advanced between October, 1881, and March,1882, to $250 and $262 a share, but the sales at the Stock Exchangejwere fictitious and not actual transactions. It is aver red that in furtherance of the conspira cy the defendants conducted specula tions in the stocks in the nameand with he assets of the Terminal Company in excess of the corporate power of the company and in violation of the duties of the defendants as officers and direc tors of the company. It was the custom of the defendants when the speculations resulted profita bly to treat the accounts as their per sonal transactions, and to appropriate the profits to their own use, but when the speculations were unprofitable to charge the losses to the company. Money and securities belonging to the company to the amount of over $1,000, 000 were thus diverted by the defend ants to their own use.and at the present time over $500,000 has been unaccount ed for. The books of the company were kept so as to make it appear that the earnings of the road were large, when in fact they were less than the opera ting expenses. The plaintiff further alleges that in January, 1882, the defendants induced him by repeated representations of the enormou3 value of the stocks to buy some of them; that he acquired 600 shares on which he lost the.sum which he now seeks to recover by the present suit. Three other actions of a similar character have been begun by other persons. M Lawrence, of Lawrence & Wachfier, attorneys for the plaintiff, said yesterday that the Richmond and Danville railroad company would be made a party defendant in some of the suits unless complete recovery could be had from the present defendants.

Short Crops in York County, with a Tight Money Prospect, hot Plenty to Eat Temperance, Educational and. Other Motes. Ctrrespondenee Joornal-Obseirer. Yorkvtlle, S. C, October 10, 1883. From inquiries made of persons resid ing in every section of this county, it is ascertained that the erop of corn is about onerhalf the average yield. The bottoms were injured by a heavy rain which fell on the evening of the 26th of June. The cotton crop is not so good as the corn. It will scarcely reach one third the average crop. Fully three fourths of the cotton crop is gathered and a very large amount of it sold. The result of the short crop will be that money will be tight for another year. Provisions will be plenty.' There is still some old corn in the county and an abundance of wheat. It will take nearly all the cotton crop to pay for fertilizers and baconi The class of persons who will suffer most by the short crop is the merchants. There is not in York county a single grop shop" and the ; consequence is that there is comparatively, very little drunk enness.. It is strange that some people can be found who clamor for whiskey shops. They claim that by closing the whiskey shops they are deprived 6f thei? rights. These persons forget that by keeping grog shops open the best men and women and all the -boys and girls are deprived of their rights. The schools of York county are in a good coriditlbn. Teachers are paid promptly at the end of every month and the public schools are kept open in nearly every section of the county is long as parents will send their children to, school; The greatest drawback on the public school syBtem of the State is the want o&mooey. The 2-miil tax and poll tax are. . not sufficient to meet the, iu)nMt.innil naAonnit.infl ftf t.hft fVinntxV. jli tue property wj." w woo ooi- mated at its real value the,; amount of money -.raised would be. fully double, and would work no detriment to the taxpayers, -"t ' ' , i Never within the memory of any one Irving did York county enjoy greater peace.
