v A meeting of the Home Mission
Society willvbHiehHrt--Uie- Second
Presbyterian church tomorrow night,
and it will be meeting of some ir
poitaoce, - One of the interesting
subjects to be discussed and acted
upon will be the proposition to estab
lish the Synodical Orphanage in
Charlotte. This fact sloue should
attract a lull attendance. Other
places In the Sute arc pulling for
the Orphanage, and if .Charlotte de
sires to secure It, work must be done
and that without delay. Fayetteville
is making an especially strong eflort
to secure the Orphanage, and a citi
sen of that town has offered to donate
land upon which to erect the build-bigs.
It Is generally conceded that Char
lotte is the most available and most
convenient location for the Orphan
age in the Sute and that this is the
proper location for it, but unless our
citizens take hold of the matter in the
proper spirit, the Orphanage will be
likely to go somewhere else. Tbiai
is a matter that should engage the
attention of every public spirited
dtisen, and it is to be hoped that the
meeting tomorrow flight will result
In' good. The Home Mission should
be encouraged in this movement in
every wsy possible.
The meeting will discuss other in
teresting matters, and will adjourn to
convene at It o clock mursday
morning at the First Presbyterian
church, to discuss the subfect of se
curing a general evangelist to fill
vacant churches.
The call for the meeting tomorrow
night is signed by the following com
mittee : Wm. E. Mcllwain, C D.
Parks, A G. Buckner, J. L. Wil

Oive up its Charter.
A number of Philadelphia capital
urts, represented by Mr. Samuel
Dickson, have brought suit against
the Richmond Terminal Company
to make it give up its charter. Mr.
Dickson declares that he will win the
suit The Richmond Terminal has
threatened to destroy the Norfolk
and Western, and the recent suit of
the minority stockholders of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia 10
prevent the company from ratifying
the lease to the Richmond Terminal
was the outcome of the contention.
The minority stockholders won, and
the Richmond Terminal ia now ef
fectually enjoined from diverting the
traffic of the East Tennessee road.
The Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railway and Warehouse
Company, which may lose its charter,
was incorporated by the Virginia
legislature in 1880, with authority to
acquire stocks and bonds of railroad
companies in the states- of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and other states. It was or-
' ganized in the interest of the Rich
mond and Danville railroad by capi
talists concerned in the latter for the
purpose of scquiring control of rail
roads not directly connected with the
Richmond and Danville, which was
prevented by charter from acquiring
any such. Subsequent amendments
atborued it to increase its capital
stock indefinitely.
It at present control 4,697 miles
of railroad and water lines ; has a
capital stock of 145,000,000 and s
large amount of fuoded debt Among
the more important lines coo trolled
are the Richmond and Danville, the
Virginia Midland, the Charlotte,
Columbia and Augusta, the Colum
bia and Greenville, the Western
North Carolina, the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, and the Geor
gia Pacific railroads.
Since the brokers refused to pur
chase the bonds of the Georgia Cen
tral railroad, the Richmond Termi
nal has used every effort to raise
money to pay for the road. It
now rumored that the directors coo
template increasing the capital stock
$10,000,000, snd in that way paying
for the property.
