Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 14. A develop ment of interest in connection with the receivership of the Norfolk and South era Fal'road Company is that a blanket injunezlon from "the ' United States courts' of eastern Virginia and eastern Carolina has been issued restraining any and all parties having claims against that railroad to bring suit dur ing tha term of the receivership. The above information came to this paper this morning from .our -Raleigh correspondent, and is thought by many to be the result of yesterday's meeting of rJhe"; Atlantic and North Carolina railroad stockholders which was held at Morehead City. ' The' item, was shown to a few men interested In the welfare of New Bern, and who look upon the old A. and N Interest with grateful hearts for the good it has done for the people of New Bern, and many of then took oc casion express themselves as glad to see the steps taken, but regretted to learn that it was necessary to adopt such a means. The. direct cause leading up to the Injunction proceedings could not be learned, but jptaOTg for somo time have Deen going tne rannos mat conaiuons were 1 not altogether- satisfactory. From reading the cbove it would look like things are getting in rather a bad way, as was the statement of a prominent business man this morn ing. In fact he asked "how does the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad lease stand in the hands of an. insol vent corporation." . We understand-that it has leaked out that the stockholders at their meet ing yesterday .were very mucn inter ested in thMubject of the-rolling stock and other personal property. A point made in argument, and one which will bear the test is, there does not seem to be any visible rolling stock belong ing to the old Atlantic and North Car olina Railroad;- It was there when the road was turned over under lease, but there are no marks today to indicate it and question was asked, "Does the lease allow the disappearance of this property." Certainly there must have been some agreement to replace prop erty destroyed by wreck or other acci dents. The new cars furnished by tuo aui- folk and Southern, belcng to them, and it is understood that they are covered by. general mortgage. In case of serious loss or suits , for damages brought against the old Atlantic and North Carolina Corporation, the deposit of $100,000 to secure all of this, valuable property would not be a drop in the bucket If this rolling stock gets away from them, as would seem to an out sider. Suppose the property should revert back to its former owners. If this supposition is-correct, is there not room for the belief that the stock holders would have to begin anew to build cars and engines, if all wo see on the road now belong to the Norfolk and Southern. : : Just what is hid behind the scene is not known and could rot bo learned today. : No reply came to the question, "Does not the lease protect old road; does it not, require ..that this prop erty should be kept together and re pairs made to. keep it In just as good condition aswhen it. was when turned over to the Norfolk -and Southern or even better. , 'y :!y';-':.'" v.-, . Is It a . fact that this condition is the result of tho careless trading, of this valuable property belonging to the nople on the part of some one. Just who is responsible was not intimated, but expression was given to the feeling that some one must have been In too much of a hurix or they have dis played their Inability to conduct such affairs. ' This opinion of coarse, was based on the supposition that the prop erty of the old A. & N. C, would not be handled ad it is if there was any clause in the lease to keep from it ROANOKE DENTIST ON TRIAL. Dr. W. S. Gregory Denies Miss Theo dora Inin's Charges. Roanoke, Va., Aug. 14. W. S. Greg ory, a leading dentist, charged with an attempted assault on Miss Theodora Irvln and released immediately after arrest on $1,000 bail last Sunday, was today put on trial in the Police Court Gregory's alleged victim and a wo man friend of the latter testified be hind closed doors. When the doors were opened Gregory made a general denial of the allegations, saying he had not mistrated the patient and that her story was all an hallucination, the result of chloroform administered by him while working on a tooth. His story was substantiated by a negro boy employed In his office. Physicians testified as to the effects of chloro form. Miss Elsie Patterson, the hertofore 'mysterious young woman" in the case, was put on the witness stand by the state. She said she went to Greg ory's office at the time his alleged vic tim was in the operating room and that she found the door between the reception room and the operating room locked. She knocked but got so re sponse. Later she tried the knob and shortly after that Gregory partly open ed the door and told her to return later. She swore she saw the patient in the chair and that she looked like a corpse. Miss Patterson testified that Gregory told her when she returned to have work done on her teeth not to bring her sister with her.. The case will be continued tomorrow. When Miss Irvin told E. M. Coulter and Lee Keedlck of her treatment at Gregory's hands on the day of the alleged assault they went to Gregory's office and gave him a terrible beating All of the principals are prominent GOOD TIMES AHEA1)Uooi hnimng Commeraal Traveler Are Now In Session Delegates Present From Every State In the Union Will Make lightning r.... n,.4 w.w special to The Sun.

That no In dians except Croatans can attend the Croatan State Normal, at Pate, Robe- son county, is a ruling just made by State Superintendent , John Duckett of the colored normal and Indian schools. The issue came through a fight by the local management against the children of J. A. Evans attending the school. He and his family had moved there from Johnston county and claimed to be cf Indian descent The children were attending the state normal when some drummer started a report that in Johnston county the Evans were con sidered "free negroes." Forthwith the Croatans set about to have them de barred from school and Evans present ed papers duly authenticated that the Evans color was due to Indian ances try, but there is nothing to show that it was Croatan. So the act creat ing the state normal specifying par ticularly "Croatans" it is held that the Evans children are still debarred from the school.
