RAILROAD WAR.
The It. & D. Attempts to Dlsposest the
D. &N. at Durham Lively Fit;ht.
The railroad war of a year ago was re- :
newed at Durham yesterday, and1 1 here .(
was great excitement among the peo
ple. Durham claims jurisdiction over'
Peabody street, on which; the
greater portion of the disputed righVof
way lays, ana refuses to allow the D.
& N. track on that street to be torn up
until a case involving its claims to the
street is heard and decided at next
term of Chatham court. We get the
following account of yesterday's
troubles from the Globe
This morning a force of the O. &: C.
hands were put to tearing up the
D. & N. track, and Mr. W'ilson, the
section master, Mr. Lipps, the civil
engineer and master of maintenance
of way, and two colored men were ar
rested. They were carried before
M?yor Christian, and Messrs. Wilson
and Lipps were discharged and the two
colored men were bound over to ap
pear Friday at 10 o'clock. It was
agreed on all sides that the track
should not be disturbed anywhere
on Peabody street. This left a space
lying between said street and the R.
& D. R. R. of 346 feet on one rail,
and 123 feet on the other, beginning
at the first cross tie at the western end
of the coal shoot. The force then
went to tear up the track occupying
this space, but found it filled with D.
& N. freight cars with heavy brakes
on. Thus the D. & N." held posses
sion. The forces then proceeded to
move the track ot the O. & C. R. R.
so as to connect it with the track of
the D. & N. at a point on the disput-
ed portion of the track. At this
juncture the town authorities caused a
portion of the D. & N. track to be
torn up where it intersected Peabodv
sreet, and planted a hugh upright
timber in the middle of the right of
way. This seemed to say "thus far
shalt thou go and no further."
Then it was surmised that the D. &'
N. would run a line from some plate V
beyond the disputed eastern point
down Peabody street and connect
with the road where it will alj be with
in the street limit, leaving" .out" "the
electric light house. Just here Mr, W.
L. Moring, one of the force of the O.
& C. road, under the direction of the
attorney for the O. & C, attempted
to cut down the upright, timber that
the town authorities had' placed on
the track, and he .was promptly arrest
ed. This put the matter in a shape to
be heard on habeas corpus proceedings,
and this no doubt will be "done. Ap
plication will be made, to some judge
in Raleigh, it is thought, and the le-
gality of the arrest, and the question
whether the O. & C. has the right to
tear up the track on
will be determined.
Peabody street,
The Person Moonshiners Commit An
other Bold Outrage.
A Roxboro corresdondent of the
Raleigh Chronicle, under dale of April
21, writes: This morning, before day,
the store of J. D. Jones, of Hurdles'
Mills, Person county, was forcibly
entered by a party of disguised men.
They were after a still worm, supposed
to be worth about $25, which had been
depo.-ited with Mr. Jones a few days
before for safe keeping by the revenue
officers. They were fully armed and
were sufficient to overcome Mr. Par
rot, a young man who was sleeping in
the store. They seized the worm and
made their way off through the dark
ness amid a volley of shots exchanged .
between Parrot and the moonshiners.
