rUutioH, April 8. The newly ap

prorements met In the Governor's office
today. The Governor presided as ex
offlclo chairman. The members of the
board are B. C. Beckwith of Ralelgb and
B. W. Ballard of Frankllngton. The
board has to do with tbe Atlantic and
North Carolina and North Carolina rail
ways, in which the State has an Interest
It did nothing today but organize, elect
ing P. M. Pearsall secretary. Its first
work will be an Inspection of the At
lantio and North Carolina railway.
The murder trial of a deputy sheriff
here has drawn considerable crowds, but
the real event of the week will be the
trial of Haj W. H. Martin, the default
ing ex-clerk at the state treasury, whose
thefts are fonnd this far to aggregate
$15,0000 from the penitentiary fund
alone. Martin was in the office four
years. When, after the discovery of his
stealing, ex-treasurer Worth asked him
if he had been stealing the entire four
years, he replied that he did not remem
ber. He declared with great posillve
ness, however, that bo had stolen
only the fun'l. Ex-Gov. Russell a
few days ago told your correspondent
that two years ago be had said to treas
urer Worth that he suspected Martin
and would not to have him in his oltlce.
Martin's reputation for clerical skill and
honesty was high however. His rcla
ttons with women were (he true cause of
bis crime and rain.
Much rain Is fulling' but not too much.
The water drought and that in March
was very strange. Wells aud streams
and springs were very low, Nearly all
are now at their usual stage.

Washington, April 1. Officials ex
pert that the capture of Aguinaldo, and
the surrender of other Filipino officers
and men will make it unnecessary to
keep as large an army In the Philippines
as was planned for when Congress pass
ed the Army bill, and If reports from
Oen. MacArlhur and the Philippine
Commission, bear out those expecta
tions, orders are likely to be issued
limiting the number of men to be re
cruited under that aw, which provides
for a regular army 100,000. What the
limit will be, will, of course, depend
upon future reports.

of near 600 souls, with reveral progres
sive enterprises, and more in view.
