THE SEW RilLBOAD!
Jones County Enthusiastic Progress
of the Work The Surveying Party
at rollocksville.
Believing that our readers are deeply
interested in whatever pertains to the
railroad now in process of construction
between Wilmington and New Berne,
ye reporter in company with Mr. 0. E.
Foy, equipped with one of Mr. J. W.
Stewart's serviceable teams, made an
early Btart Thursday morning with the
intention of finding the surveying
party, so that we might furnish our
readers with the latest information on
the subject.
By inquiry, as we noared tho scene of
operations, we learned that the survey
ors the evening before were on the
plantation of Mr. John Simmons, a
prominent and prosperous farmer,
three miles from Pollocksville, which
plantation, by the way, was the birth
place and early home of our companion,
Mr. Foy. The house in whioh Mr. Sim
mons resides is the same that was
owned and occupied by Mr. Foy's
father, and Mr. Simmons keeps the
surroundings in such good order, and
tho dwelling so nicely painted, that in
spite of its age one might well be ex
cufcd for mistaking it for a recently
constructed residence.
Wo found we had missed the party
we wero in eearch or, but the good
folks of the house save us what infor
mation they pOBgessod find made us
heartily welcome, and we remained
with them an hour or two eniovine
their genial hospitality until dinner,
soon after which Mr. F. L. Pittman, the
chiof engineer of tho road, and several
other gentlemen made their appearance
Und we met with nn fnri.hnr
difficulty
in prosecuting our search.
We found that the survey had indeed
been run the previous evening close to
Mr. Simmons' dwelling and a little be -
yend it, but it was discovered that they
w re about to come out a little above
Pollooksville, which was not what was
desired, so their steps were retraced
and the line iun a little more to the
right, through the back part of Mr.
Simmons' place, through two of Mr.
Foy's plantations, through Mr. John
Pearce's between his residence and
gin house, and then down tho eastern-
most atreet of Pollocksville. to the banks
of Trent river, at which spot we left
them about eundown Thursday even -
ing, when wo parted from them and
started on our homeward way.
They expected to continue tho survey
yesterday on this side of the river,
which was doubtless done, and the
close of the day in all likelihood found
them about three miles this side of
Pollocksville, within about ton miles of
New Berne, which is as close as they
intend to run this Burvey at present.
"But," some of our readers may aBk,
why this delay? Why should they
stop? Why not complete the survey at
once, right on to New Berne?"
We will explain the reason, which is
just this: While it is an assured fact
that the road is coming to New Berne,
it is by no means certain that it is going
to Pollocksville; there are other routes
under consideration, and this is only a
preliminary survey to determine which
routo will be taken.
The final survey hat been made, and
the route accurately determined from
Wilmington as far as Jacksonville, and
the road is now built and engines
running on it within eleven miles of
that place, and about the middlo of
next month it is expected to have the
trains running, not into Jacksonville,
but to the opposite side of Now river,
on which it is situated, but it will not
be long before tho bridge across the
river, leading the railroad into tho
town will be constructed. The road is
then coming on to New Berne. The
question arises: How BhallHcome?
. ,
There aro three routes under con
sideration, known as the upper, the

lower route from Jacksonville to Stella
and from Stella to James City. It
passes through no village except Stella.
The middle route is the one now just
surveyed, through Maysville and Pol
locksvllle and a little beyond, and the
r,arhr will now rMnrn to
-j j
Jacksonville and commence on the
- nnn.r r Qd&ker Brtdire route and snr-
in 1 ----- t- - .

two distinot sections the forward one'
under the oharge of Mr. R. P. Hinton,
who is known as the transit-man, as
certains the direction and keeps ac
count of the distances the hinder seo
tion, under the charge of Mr. J. W.
Hinton, who is known as the level-man,
ascertains and keeps account of the
elevations and depressions of the land ;
this is done exactly at the end of every
hundred feet throughout the whole
route.
The party hews out a way right
through (he forest; if they come to
water, mud, noisome swamp or marsh,
through it they plunge; if a sapling or
a monarch of the forest is in the line of
the surveys' instruments down it comes,
no passing around it but straight on
they march, thus a narrow path is
opened up and the route can be traced
thereby, as well as by their stakes driven
in the ground.
After the surveys of the different
routes are concluded, three things will
enter principally into the calculation
to determine wbich one shall be used,
namely: The cost of construction of
each route and the probable amount of
traffio that would probably be secured
over it, and the readiness with which
people along the different lines grant
the right of way.
Some circumstances, but little re
garded as momentous by the people
generally, might be the very thing that
would decide the railroad managers to
take one route or the other. The right
of way is au important consideration,
and if the people along one of the pro
posed routes should be enterprising
enough to take time by tLe forelock and I
proffer the railroad the rieht of way
without any break or interruption,
through the places it wishes to traverso
that might be the pivot on w hich the
location of the road would turn,
I especially if there were any objections
raised to giving rights of way over the
1 other routes.
Many of the people with whom we
conversed seem keenly alive to this
faot. Some have already given the
right of way, and others signified their
readiness to do so. Mr. II. C. Foscue
and Mr. Calvin DeBruhl have not only
given their own right but are busying
themselves induoing their neighbors to
do likewise. The people generally are
anxious for the road, enthusiasts for
it, and teem ready to exert themselves
to secure it, and they are to be com
1 mended for their progressive and public
spirit. The ladies with whom we con-
versed seemed equally as interested as
the men and as much in favor of it.
All the people are aroused on the
I railroad question. Go where you will-
Ion the farm, in the stores, in other
I nlaces of business or in residences and
1 you will find it the topio of conversa-
tion. and vou will find the nartiea ad-
vocating the road. The ladies with
whom we conversed seemed equally as
interested as the men and as much in
favor of it.
We were surprised to see such a fine
I section as there is in the vioinity of
I Polloksville and Maysville. A railroad
I through such a garden spot of North
Carolina would indeed make it bloom
and blossom like a rose. We were clad
I to soe the enterprising citizens so much
I interested in the road. While we here
in New Berne feel satisfied the road
I will be built to this city, they realize
if they are left out in the route they
have most likely lost their only chanoe
for a railroad ever to be built throuab
I their section, and this is indeed an im-
I portant question to them just now

J. D. Summerlia had tried to hire him
buom uib ouiuuieruu b; more uu lire. I
Mr. bummerlin ii a young man who!
was well thought of in LtiUraDge and
Mr. raris did not believe the uei;ro
The negro told Mr. Paris be would ar
range a meeting with Mr. Summerlin
and that Mr. Paris could overhear the
conversation. One night a few day
afterwards the meeting occurred and
Mr. Paris heard Mr. Hummerlin's prop
osition to tne negro to burn his etoro
telling him that he was in debt en 1 the
fire must occur on Wednesday night
after the 2d Sunday in October, as he
must have the insurance beforo a cer
tain date or his creditors would close
him up.
Mr. Pans at once notified the police
and a watch was kept on the store. It
was observed that Mr. Summerlin was
moving the most valuable goods into a
little store across the street. Mr. Sum
merlin had recently insured his stock
for $800. The building he did business
in belongs to Mr. J. E. B. Whitfield
The negro told Mr. Paris, the police
and others who were in the secret, of
soveral other conversations afterwards,
in which Mr. Summerlin tried to hire
him to fire the store. The negro would
not consent to do it, so he said.
On Wednesday week the negro savs
Mr. bummerlin tried to hire him to fire
it that night, but he refused to do it.
The negro was told to agree with Mr.
summerlin to nre tno building on
Thursday night if Summerlin would
pnt oil on it. This Summerlin at first
refused to do, so says the negro. The
negro positively refused to fire the
building unless Summerlin would put
oil on it, which Summerlin finally
agreed to do.
That night Summerlin told the negro
that he had poured on the oil and for
him to do his part.
The authorities told the negro to go
on and fire the building but not to let
it burn. The negro set the fire which
slightly charred the building but was
at once put out.
ihe building hred was a small ware
house between Summerlin's and D. M,
Stanton's, and a fire there would have
burned the entire block and possibly
all the business part of the town.
Summerlin was arrested and held
until Friday afternoon when he was
brought before Justice Sutton for a
hearing. Messrs. N. J. Rouse and H
E. Shaw represented the town. Sum
merlin said he was not ready for trial
and asked time to get counsel from
Qoldsboro. The case was postponed
until Saturday morning.
On Friday night the prisoner escaped
from the town lock-up, and we under
stand the indications are that the lock
up was broken open from the outside
and the prisoner released.
The town of LaOrange has offered a
reward of $50 for the apprehension of
Summerlin. Kinston Free Press.
