The Atlantic and North Carolina railway matter has taken a now phase. Today a local pa per published the statement that Judge Purnell of the Federal Court had ap pointed Capt Y E McBee receiver tor the road, upon petition and complaint of E 8 Finch, formerly of Charlotte, now hall ing from New York, who owna 45 shares of stock an! whose petition sets forth that It Is In behalf of the private stock holders. The news of the receivership was net given o it officially, but it is stated that it was done through the attorneys Messrs Hinsdale and Day. It was a sur prls : t everybody, the Governor know ing nothing of It until he aaw It In tbe paper this morning and thla being also the oate -with Carl Duncan, who Is a large private stockholder atsd also a dl rector. Governor Aycock declined to say anything about the ease today, be yond the fact that he knew nothing of the receivership until he read it today. Day before yesterday Capt. McBee who had the day prevloua made another hid for the lease of the Atlantlo and North Carolina railway withdrew that bid in a letter which he wiote the Governor. Capt McBee's attorneya were Shepherd and Shepherd, and with the withdrawal Ot this proposition their connection with the matter ended. . v ' ' "Director Duncan when asked hla view of the matter said: "I have Just read the account of the appointment of the receiver. I have . my ,vlewB about this matter, but cannot how give them or suggest what action we will take until have a conference with my friends among the private stockholders with whom I have been associating for sev eral years." It is quite probable that a motion will he made before Judge Slmonton of the (7 B Circuit court at Charleston to set aside the receivership. One of. the most prominent lawyers here, speaking today about the appointment of Capt.- McBee as receiver, said: "Thla of course, I take It, ends Mr McBee's chances of acquir ing possession of the road," Mr Finch, who figures in the case, for several j ears held the option on the lands in the eastern part of the State known as the ''swamp landa". It Is learned that Finch was not a stockholder of record last September It is also lesaned that very few private stockholders will be with MoBee in his new move and that the largest ' stock holders have expressed themselves tc day, sa as to show they will ' stand with the Btate in fighting the receiver ship. ' Thla Is also . the attitude of the directors holding stock The State will take immediate iteps to protect its In terests. It la said McBee will leave here tomorrow morning for New' Bern to take ct arge of the road. It is understood that hla term will be short lived. : It was said tonight very positively "no lease of the road will be. effected through the Federal codit." n " v' ' telegram td Preddent Jaa A, Bryan yesterday afternoon; gave the first no tice of the Receivership here. The tel egram asked that President Bryan, come to Raleigh at once but as hewai not In tbe city. His conduct could not be known the officiate of the road, here were aatonished, and say they cannot understand why a Receiver ahould be appointed' aa the road was perfectly solvent. There waa general exoltement over the oity last night, and the opinion was expressed that the action taken Was' to force the Btate on the lease question, v - '".''
