and Trust' Company of ; Jfew York,
in which C. Adolph Lane, Wm. X.
Strong and George F. Baker applied
for. the appointment of ; a receiver
with Gen. Gill for the Cape Fear &
Yadkin Valley property, came up
before Judge Simontoo; of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court, in chambers
today, and was argued by Mr. Chas.
Steel, of New York, attorney for the
applicants. Judge E. J. Cross, of
Baltimore; JudgeHudsonn, of South
Carolina; R. O. Burton, of Raleigh
Mr. Geo. Rountree, of Wilmington,'
and Mr, H. Turner, of New York.
argued against , the appointment of
another receiver, and when they
had . finished Judge Simonton said
that he would -dismiss -the petition
and an order to ; that effect was en
tered. .-';--. --. .
.The petition was .resisted on the
ground that the charge that the re
ceiver had been partial to the Balti
more committee was Unfounded. As
the receivership is within a 'few
months of settlement it is contended
that a coreceiver is unnecessary.
-DuringGeneral Gili'sreceivershlp
extensive Improvements have been
made in - the physical condition of
the road and, according- to a recent
report made by the chief engineer,
the condition of the property is fifty

t Advortieeri Will Please Note.
We would like to again remind
our advertisers of the importance of
sending in tnelr copy for changes of
advertisements as early in ; the day
as possible, as it is necessary 'that
they bo. put in type In the forenoon
in order that the paper may make -
its appearance on time in the after
noon. There is a large -volume of
matter set in the office of the Pbkss
Vkitob every day and the advertise
ments must be set in the morning in
order that our force may - work on
the news columns in the afternoon.'
We wish to request in addition that
our edvertising -patrons "will avoid
giving jus their changes of advertise
ment on the same day of the , week.
Yesterday for instancfrJiearly every
advertiser came in for a change and
this threw the paper unavoidably
quite late into the. evening in mak
ing its appearance. If some would
send their advertisements on Tues
day, some on Wednesday,' some on
Thursday and so on. through the
week it would be a great accommo
dation to us and facilitate us in get
ting the' paper out on time. ; The
pressure on our force to do the heavy
volume of work, yesterday caused
by numerous changes of advertise"
meets was so great that, two extra
men had to be put on for ' the day
and even then the paper was nearly
an hour late, We hope'that our pa
trons will aid us in this matter all
they-can, ',

WIIERE IS III3 MONEY?,
Several Baltimore Police are Seoreblns
- for II. Keweomb'i Money In Valn Ke
ported It was Bailed In Richmond.
The Richmond7 State has the fol
lowing about the young man White
who was in Raleigh last summer:
' While Edward Guy-White. Ian
guishes in the Baltimore jail, the pc
Jice of thatcity are doing. their ut
most to ascertain what the prisoner
did with the $6,000 that he is alledg
ed ,to have taken from H, Dallam
Newcomb.';:As yet they have not
succeeded in- locating .the money.
White is mute on the subject.
V "The Monumental Cify Polios had
a theory that the money was left in
or near this city, and heir search
for it here gave rise to $ very sensa
tion al story to the effeot,that White,
when hereafew.days before his ar
rest in NorfblkvisitodiMr.' Fprnanr
dini, who lives afew miles in the
country, and had buried the morey
on the farm of the latter ,The story
ran that White, while visiting Mr.
Fernandini, had made what seemed
at that time an unusual request. It
rwas to take a walk about the farm.
The request was' granted, and, it
was said, White spent several hours
roaming over the fields, jit was sup
posed that he had hidden his treas
ure on this oocasloD.
."The detectives from Baltimore
traced White to Atlee 's on bis trip
here just before his arrest. There
he left the train and went fo Mri ,
Fernandini's and stayed there until
a mend or ms, was coming to tne
city, a few hours latter, and the
yonng man came along. His move
ments while: in the city were traced,
but nowhere that he had been was
any money found or anyone who was
aware of the fact that White had any
large amount witi him.
"It was discoveaed by the detec
tives that White spent only $2 while
here. It Is not belloveJ that he dis
posed of the money in Norfolk or on
his way there. The detectives now
hold to the opinion that lie did not
have any large' amount of money
When he left Washington.
VThey are at '.work in Baltimore
and Washington at this time, hoping
to discover some friend of White's
who has received the money. When
arrested Wiuta-diA. not dony soei--
lng the money, but said that it Was
obtained through a business transaction,-
There were others connect
ed with him in the 'transaction' and
they undoubtedly know where it Is.
"The presence of Mr. Louis P.
Somanni, formerly of this city, but
now connected withtheEutawHou.se,
Baltimore, here yesterday is believ
ed to have been for the purpose of
making some inquiriesabout White's
movements while in the city in the
hope, of locating the money.'-Mr,'
Stokes, the proprietor of the Eutaw,
House is very anxious for the re
covery of the money, as it left Newf
comb's hands in his house.
"White is held under $8,000 bail.
The charge agaiust him is. larceny.
White interested Newcomb in a
book-making scheme and, It is sJiid,
secured the money from, him and
failed to put it in the hotel safe as he
promised to do, disappearing with
it" s r.
