The Baltimore News of yesterday says: i ,v , The publication in the News that an offer had - been made of $100 share for a majority of the stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, which is the controlling company of the Seaboard Air Line system, and that the offer was believed to have been made in the, interest of. the Southern Railway Company,7 has aroused considerable, interest in local financial circles owing to the large holdings, of the seooxities of both companies in Baltimore and in view , of r the fact that both have water terminals here. t ' " - The offer was made by the Mer cantile Trust and - Deposit Company of Baltimore,'' which addressed - a circular letter to tbe stockholders asking for options on the stock and named $100 a share, or par, as the priceL if a controlling interest can be secured. Some stockholders have accepted the proposition, but some have de clined to consider, the terms, claim ing that the price is not high enough. Among the latter Is President R. Curzon Hoffman, bt the Seaboard Air Line, who is one of the largest stock holders. Mr. Hoffman has taken a firm stand and has issued the follow ing circular to stockholders: t . ' Baltimore, Oct 2. To the Stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company: Gentlemen Having seen a circu lar issued by John Gill, as president of the-JMerchantile Trust and De posit Company of Baltimore, asking for options on your holdings of Sea board and Roanoke Railroad Com pany 's stock, I beg leave- to say that this circular', has been issued without the knowledge, consent, au thority jpr apprgyaLof the manage-, mont, and is against, your true in terest. , , i R. C, Hoffman, ," vn - President la regard to the negotiations of the ' Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company to secure control of the common stock Of the Seaboard and Roanoke, it was stated at the office of the former company today that if was making very satisfactory prog ress in securing options on the stock and that it was not its intention to make any public statemont of its actions until its attention was called to the circular issued by Mr, Hoff man. " President Gill has, therefore, i prepared the following circular in reply to Mr. Hoffman's statement: To the Stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Company:;. I have before me the circular ad dressed to you by Mr. R C. Hoff man, president of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, ami while it is true that my circular was issued without the knowledge, consent; or authority- ot Mr, Hoffman, it was known to a great many stockholders of the Seaboard road and approved by them.' . In this connection I would further say that I fail to see why I should be called upon to ask for the f con sent -or "authority of the manage ment." ,.; I have endeavored for some years past to sustain the president of the Seaboard, but like every other man of business or financial experience, I have been compelled to take issue wjth Mr. Hoffman on his present no tion.. I do not know a single gentle man cf any prominence in financial circled in this city or in -any other who approves it ' -' '"'' " :. It is not Mr. Hoffman '- who owns the Seaboard.; This property is owned by the stockholders, of whom I am one of the largest. - It is this management for which Mr, Hoffman in. his circular; claims the "right to speak, which has put your , stock down to $45 per sharo, rendered the securities . of the Seaboard - almost unsalable and affected , the value of securities of; Southern railways generally. . " ' ' For this reason I seek- a change, and to give to the stockholders either an opportunity to sell their stock at a good price or by co-operating with us to secure harmony : and put an end to the war of rates. '-.. -a.- ' I have already secured an option on large blocks of the stock, and re peat what I said in my previous circular, that if a controlling inter est in the stock of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad can bo obtained I am assured it can be sold at $100 ...... p. . per share.. -; ' s :-; If, therefor you desire to give us this option, I shall be pleased to Include your stock in the sale if made, and shall be glad to have you call at the Mercantile Trust and De posit Company for any further -in formation- x I desire to; make .only, one com ment on Mr . Honman s circular re ferred to above, ' He slates it to be against your interests as stock hold ers to sell, I would . like him to ex plain this point- No dividend has been declared'upon the stock of the company for some ' time past and none is in prospect for a considera ble time; the' market' value is from $40 to $45 per share, land 'within 12 months sale's have been made at $38 per share. , My expectation is to ef fect a sale at $100 a share, which ngre can only be procured if a Sufficient number of ; shares can be offered, and submit to the candid judgment of shareholders . to deter mine upon these facts whether I am open to . the - charge of asking the shareholders to" make, any sacrifice of their holdings. - I further beg to advise the stock-; comers oi tne seaooara ana uoanoKe Railroad that a petition has been filed with the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company, signed by numer ous bondholders and the largest financial institutions in this city, demanding of them as trustee to in tervene In the suit how pending in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern Districtof Virginia, the object of which suit is to compel the various railroads "made defendant therein to restore and maintain rates. , John Gill. The relations between General Gill and Mr. Hoffman-have always been of the most, cordial nature. General Gill is a director of the Sea- boad Air Line system; and his com pany, tne Mercantile a rust and De posit Company, is and has been for years financial agent or the road, and as such, placed most if ti e se curities recently issued-, by ' a Sea board Air Line. Mi-; HofT .ian is a director of the Mercantile Trust und Deposit Company, Little of the Seaboard stock is on the ..market,;, and they price J M'rig the past few months has fluctuated around 45, with an occasional sale at that price. The annual" meeting of the stockholders of the Seaboard and Roanoke will - be . held Tuesday at Portsmouth. Va., and a board of directors will be elected to serve during the ensuing yearjAsfajfas known, the' only effort to' secure proxies has been made by the pres ent management, and it is believed that it will be returned 1 ( It is possible, however, : that -the meeting may develop surprises. That there has been opposition to the conduct of the rate war is admit ted by some of the stockholders, but the dissatisfaction appears to be directed against Vice-President St John rather than President Hoffman. Mr. St. John is regarded as the real director of the company, so far as the operation of the property is con cerned, and it is suggested that if he had .been more diplomatic the rate war could have been' avoided. If fie opposition crystallizes it could make things warm for Mr. St. John .There has been no disparage ment .of that . gentleman's railroad ability. That is admitted, but it is claimed that he has shown bad judg ment in forcing the issue which re sulted in the rate war. J 1 " The 'offer of the Mercantile i.Trust company Is announced to include the stock of the Bay line, or Baltimore Steam Packet company, at ; a fair price. The steamers of this com pany are run in connection with the Seaboard and Roanoke, forming ,a part of the Seaboard Air-Line. ? v i-In addition to the" above the Bal timore News of yesterday ''contains the following rj .The directors of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad,1 which is the par ent company of- the. Seaboard Air Line' system, held lengthy meeting today, in if resident R Curaon . Hoff man's office in. the Equitable Build ing to discuss the affairs of the com pany, and examine the annuil report preparatory . to its presentation at the stockholders'., meeting to be held at PortsmouthrVa. . tomorrow , .: The directors present at the meet ing were Messrs. S Curzon Hoffman, who presided; Louis McLane and Charles ; D; Fisher of BaltdmoreW W Fuller of North' Carolina; Leigh R Watts of Portsmouth, Va.; and Mohcure Robinson of Philadelphia. Vice-President andGeneral Mauager Jst John was also present by invita tion of the board. , '-. - ? . , j ' The meeting was . held behind closed doors, and if reports "be true it was not marked by the same har mony that in -times past has char acterized the directors' conferences. Various rumors were afloat as to what transpired at the meeting, but these could not be confirmed They referred to the retirement of Presi dent Hoffman at the annual meeting tomorrow, if his course in the rate' war -was not approved by the stocJr V4 holders. (c It was also reported that he wi-d not acceptre election except be Unanimous vote of the stockholders. Another report was to theeffect that Vice-President St John would re ticc.. In regard to ihis last rumor, however, it may be stated that Mr. St. John has a contract with the Seaboard Air-Line which still has several years to run, and he is not likely to voluntarily surrender- position that pays him $15,000 unless he has something better in sight. . The directors were still in session at 3 0 clock, .and it was given out that the meeting Would probably last until a late hour this afternoon. The ,' directors and some of the largest stockholders' will", leave on the Bay Line thisevening for Ports mouth to participate jn the' meeting. At 5 0 clock this afternoon a tele gram was received here -from Ports mouth stating that the old board of directors was re-elected today. TODAY'S MARKETS. Nbw Yokk, Oct. 6.

Deputy-collector Gibsoifwho di rected the attack on Buruum 'Jones, -the celebrated outlaw of Bladen county when he was killed last Wednesday while resisting the revenue officers in a pitched battle, arrived here today. He la accom panied by Deputy-Marshall J C Parrisb, who was in the thickest of the fight and subsequently received a scalp wound from the discharge of the desperado's gun, ' Mr. Gibson in talking today said it was his opinion that the Jones - . gang had been completely broken up. Six of the outlaw's pals were arrested several days before Bar num Was killed and they are in jail -'- ' in Columbus county, v - 1 , - ":'N6 one will ever know who killed Jones outside of two men who saw him fall when the fatal shot struck him. The revenue men laid their plans to capture the desperado alive and had he not opened fire on them with out so much as a warning be might be living today. The blood hounds were not used as reported in trail ing Jones, The officers ascertained Jones was at his store after having been on his track for 12 hours, They approached the place from a swamp in three parties. Deputy Parrish, the chief of police of Florence, S C, and two other officers were detailed to an proach the entrance door. Their ' plan was to creep up on the outlaw and sieze him by force. While the revenue men were in thirty feet of the store, Jones caught sight of the four officers with fire arms in their hands. Instantly he raised his gun and let go at the Revenue men twice. The officers returned the fire and made it so hot that the defiant des perado was forced to retreat. He took to the rear of his store, climbed a fence and entered a corn ' field. As soon as he had discharged the shells in his gun, he would fall to the ground as if he had been shot, . . butthiswas only a ruse employed by the outlaw to reload his gun. lie did this four times, while retreating -' in the corn lield and each timo he would come again and make a more vicious charge ou the officers. The terrorized and desperate man little knew that he was slowly and' surely eutering the trap which had been set for him, as he retreated ' through the corn. Two men had ? been stationed near the cornfield in anticipation of Barnum's retreat by that direction. One of those men discharged the volley that sent Bar num Jones reeling to the ground. Death was almost instantaneous. At least forty volleys were dis charged in the fusilade. The Out law's first shot grazed the top of Deputy Parrish 's head and the sec ond one entered the arm of the chief of police of Florence, S. C; after that the officers succeeded very well , in keeping out of the way of his ; volleys. Barnum never spoke a word dur ing the exciting battle. His twelve year old son was in the store and witnessed the tragedy from the start. Two of the outlaw's daughters heard the first shots and they ar-' rived just before their father fell. The , dead outlaw has an estate valued at 115,000. He leaves five children and an aged mother and father, who are highly respectable people in Bladen county. M'Ue Rhea Next Week.
