Mr. f has. E Johasoa -Received News i
D it pat b Fran Prealdent John Skel
to WIllUnt-StockROldert
Meetina U b Feb. 28tb.
The last prop has been knocked from
under the protesting form of Thomas 8.
Ryan, of New York.
This news came this afternoon to
Sir. Charles E. Johnson in a 1 dispatch
from President John, Skolton Williams,
of the Seaboard Air Line, stating that
J in! so Waddill of the Circuit Court
at Richmond, had today handed down
his derision denying the application of
Ryan for injunction restraining the
stockholders of tho Seaboard and Roan
oke Railroad from consolidating with
other roads to perfect the Greater Sea
board Air Line.
Upon this decision has been resting
the fate of the. Soalioard's scheme, and
the fact that the ease was pending was
maintained by the Ryan attorneys at the
meeling here as reason, for the illegality
of any action that might be taken at that
time.
It was stated last week that the cause
of postponement of the meetings of the
stockholders of the Raleigh and Uaston
Railroad from Wednesday two weeks
Ago and from Wednesday of this week
lay in the failure of Judge Widdill to
render his decision.
Now it is Mated that the meeting to
be held on the 2Sth inst. win be most
important and will be the beginning of
the end of the .work of consolidation.

Da.to Fierce Competloa From South
American and Det ay ed Transport
ation, ' ' New York. Feb. 10. There has been
it'dtfeidcd falling off in the cxportntioiis
of grain from this lort for the past sPx
months. Less grain is moving over the
seaports than in many years. T'iie
fame condition exists at Philadelphia.
Bnlliiuore, B.ston, Norfolk and .Now
Orleans.
(hie reason is that there is but little
grain on hand mid in the second place
the demand from foreigu sources is
abnomiall low.
Tbisi unusual condition- is explained
by - the tierce competition from the
South American trade and the fact that
most grain in this country is held up in
Chicago or Ituffnlo an ailing shipments
to Huston, New York, Philadelphia and
ofheT grain iKirt.-, also there is no ton
nage to cany it.

RAIN" SUNDAY.
FVr Unleigh ainl vicinity: Rain to
night an. I Sunday.
A storm lias suddenly developed in
the central (!nlf region which has robbed
the cold wave completely of its force:
there has been a rapid rise in lemjiera
ttire nearly everywhere. The temper,
tare is now only a few degrees below
freezing in the central valley, and a
few degrees below zer.v at only two
stations i Bismarck and Marquette.)
The rapidity with which the cold wave
disappeared -eenis to indicate that it was
the last serious effort on tin- part of
nature in that line this winter. Cloudy
wearhir with rain prevails throughout
the Southern States: the weather is tair
west ol the Missis.-ippi river.

It is currently reported this aiternoon
that he made a statement a few days
!go that he was innocent of this crime,
t ut was guilty of anothi r for which
.mother man had been hanged. Your
col-respondent investigated the report as
much as possible ami found that the
Mateiiiont had 'been made to a colored
man. and that Ross Mlid he committed
the crime for which John (Evans
