THE CHANGE The Sale of the Seaboard Generally Discussed. MR. WILLIAMS PRESIDENT Tlia Other Officer* it Matter or ?'oiijoc lure ? Mr. Anderson's Frieutls Wonlcl I.llco to Nee llliu Hack uritli Itio ??*w Management-l<nteat Do< K'[?|)inniii in tl?o..?>cnl ? I? lite Koulltern In It ? The sale of the Seaboard Air L/ine to the Williams syndicate, as an? nounced In the Virginian-Pilot local columns yesterday and confirmed by telegrams and Associated Press dis? patches, was tho principal subject of conversation in the clubs, hotel lobbies, cafes and on the streets. The financial und mercantile people, of course, looked at It purely from a business standpoint, while the citizens generally are_ln.ter tsted In the movement. The result of the deal so far as relates to the officers was largely a matter of speculation, but there seemed to be but one opin? ion as to tho final result, und that was that there would be a number of changes. These changes, however, will not take place for the present, and It Is thought that a majority of the em? ployes will be taken care of, while It seems to be little doubt that some of the higher officials will be retained. THE NEW SYSTEM. While it is asserted that the Seaboard will be run as nn independent road, the fact that the new syndicate is' com? posed of capital that is Interested in the Georgia and Alnbama road and the Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina road, now In course of construction, gives rise to the belief that tho three roads will be consolidated Into one sys? tem. This will hardly. It Is said, be done at once, ilr the Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina railroad is not completed, and a connecting link will have to be bought or built between Atlanta or some other nolnt on the Seaboard to Montgomery or Savannah, on tho Georgia and Alabama MR. WILLIAMS PRESIDENT. There Is a general feeling of pleasure in Norfolk at tho thought that Mr. John Skelton Williams will be made president when the final details of the transfer of the property arc made. He has many friends here who have watched his upward movements on the railroad ladder of prominence with a great deal of interest and satisfaction, and they are highly pleased at his de? served success. Speaking of Mr. Williams, the Balti? more American says: "Mr- John Skel? ton Williams, who is said to be en? gineering the deal, is a young man, not over years of age. He has developed remarkable business capacity and exe? cutive ability. Only three or four years ago he became interested in the Georgia and Alabama railroad, then called the Amerlcus and Montgomery. This was a year or so before it went Into the hands of receivers. When the time came for reorganization Mr. Wil? liams look a strung stand In tho mat? ter. He Had a plan of his own for re? organization, and subsequent events proved that it was by far the best pro- I i">se<i. Bul there was a bitter struggle against it and some people laughed at 'the young man's presumption.' He bad pitted against him some of the oldest heads ami strongest financiers In Baltimore, but he beat them. His plan was adopted- It provided for new capital to be acquired from bondholders equal to the amount of their biddings. Kor this they were to receive, of course, a first mortgage bond equal to the amount of now capital, a certain amount in second mortgage and pre? ferred and common stock. Tito mar? ket value of these issues shows the wis? dom of?ore?plan,?ami?vindicates Tfie" Judgmcnt of the young financier. At that time the old bonds of the Amerl? cus and Montgomery were selling at about $10 per $100 face value. In a short time they passed ninety. The new bonds of the Georgia and Alabama are selling above par, the preferred stock at about forty and the common at about eighteen. Enoch Pratt shortly after tho road had been reorganized and Williams made president of the company, and having inspected the Williams plan, although not himself being interested in the property, said: j 'That young man will be heard from yet.' " MR. THOMAS J. ANDERSON. The fact that Mr. Thomas J. Ander? son, who recently resigned the oftiee .if general passenger agent of the Sea hoard, lias not accepted any other posi? tion, though it is believed he has had several offers, leads his friends hero? and thev are many?to think that ho will be returned to his old office under the new arrangement. Mr. Anderson is an exceptionally fine officer and his long term of office with tho Seaboard makes him thoroughly conversant with every detail of the traffic department. A gentleman in the Atlantic Hotel was heard to suy yesterday that Mr. An? derson was one of the most capuble passenger officials he ever knew. IS THE SOUTHRRX INTERESTED7 The Baltimore American of yesterday says: "Notwithstanding the claim put forth that the Seaboard, and With It the Georgia and Alabama,. If consolidated. Is to be operated Independently of any other Southern lines, the Impression ex? ists that it will eventually he operated in conjunction with or in the interest of the Southern railway, and the pre? diction was made yesterday that the Richmond. Petersburg and Carolina road, now under construction from Petersburg lo the South, and by which the Seaboard system will reach Rich? mond, will be abandoned. The con? struction of this road and the building up of a system of lines in the South, it was argued, will prove a serious menace to the Southern railway. It was argued that it would be much cheaper for the Southern road to buy the Seaboard lines now "than later, and that the two would be eventually obliged to unite, is pointed out as a necessity If the statement is true, as railroad men claim, that tho territory supplied by the Southern and Seaboard system will not support two roads. | "Farther color Is given to the sup? position of ultimate amalgamation or' close trafllc agreements between the two rival systems, Is Riven by the fact that the Seaboard stock pooled and con? trolled by Mr. Thomas F. Hyan Is In? cluded In the offer of $200 i^er share. The statement has been made time and time again that Mr. llyan was en? couraged In his efforts to secure con? trol of the Seaboard system by the Sonthcrn railway." COURT? ?>F JUNTICE. ONE DAY'S RECORD TN THE TEM? PLES OF EQUITY. In the Law and Chancery Court yes? terday suit was brought by Nathan McCoy, an infant, by Phillip Bowman, his next friend, through Mr- C. J. Col? lins, counsel, against the Norfolk and Carolina Railroad Company for $5,000' damages. On trie 17th of last January plaintiff, who was a brakeman on Nor? folk and Carolina road, received in? juries which caused the loss of one arm. He states that he is without money and prays the court to bo allowed to prosecute his case without cost. TRANSFERS OF REALTY.

During the summer of ISflS a Gipsy Carnival was held In Huntersvllle for the benefit of Grace Baptist church, which was numerously attended night? ly during its continuance. The matter of finances In connection with this en? tertainment, which has recently brought about a friction in the church, caused the lvastor, Rev. L. R. Wright, to determine to resign the spiritual care of the church, to Like effect April 1st, proximo. The interest centered In this ques? tion attracted a congregation to the church Wednesday night, that filled the building to its utmust capacity. After an able and impressive dis? course. In which Mr. Wr'.ght reviewed the work lie had performed for the church during the thrcv years now drawing to a close, ho presented his realghation in writing. Immediately a motion was made to accept it, which was adopted by a unanimous vote, but on its acceptance he was at once re nominated for the position, and upon a vi/te being taken, fifty-eight of those present voted In the alilrmatlve and 6 in the negath e. Mr. WrishL on the face of the al most unanimous action ot the church, declined the call. He was subsequently waited upon by a committee of the church and urged to reconsider his decision. His reply was that the only terms upon which he would again accept a call to tho church wan first, that they must get rid ot the disturbing element; and, sec- I ond. agree to build a new and better edifice in a more desirable location. This last proposition left the matter ot acceptance In abeyance with the com? mittee. It has since been learned that It Is now- doubtful whether Mr. Wright will again accept the pastorate of the church under the> conditions, as he thinks it is best for all parties con? cerned that there should be a separa? tion of pastor and people. THE BNOKIMH SIOODT. REV. HENRY VARLEY TO PREACH IN NORFOLK. Rev. Henry Varley, whose fame as a revivalist has won for him the title of I the "English Moody," will begin a se | ries of revival meetings at Park Ave 1 nue Er.ptist church. Brambleton Ward, to-night. This distinguished minister | deserves more than a notice that he is to preach among us, and Rev. Dr. Hall, at whose earnest solicitation he comes, is to be congratulated on securing his services. Evangelist Varley is a magnificent type of the hearty, cultured English? man, and startles one with his close I i jae.'iilJiuuo'te to England's greatest Btateman of the nineteenth century, the late Rt. Hon. Wm. E. Gladstone. This resemblance Is so marked that wore Mr. Gladstone alive Rev. Varley might easily be taken for him. Several years ago, Mr. Varley start? ed on an evangelistic tour of the world, and is now working slowly his way back to i..infirm. Wherever he has preached there has been a markedt out? pouring of the spirit of conviction and conversion. He reached San Francisco from Australia about one year ago, since when he has prenched to im? mense audiences in many of the larger eltict? of our country. He came to New York about ten dnys ago from Boston, where for four months he ad? dressed dally the most remarkable Gos? pel meetings lit that city. Mr. Varley has preacher! in Europe, ?\sln, Alrica, Australia and America; and is a great scholar, a profound, and cony Inc. ng speaker, and has the happy [ faculty of securing the rapt attention of his audiences with the opening sen? tences of his discourses. One of his favorite methods ot reaching the hearts and minds of the people is in tho form known as epigrammatic. The follow? ing extracts from a sermon preached to business men In New York will give readers of the Virginian-Pilot an idea of his style: "So many of our men In this city are thirsting after money, are thirsting after political success, are thirsting af? ter the pleasures of life. Oh, that some of them would thirst for the tru<_ spirit of our Lord!" "Rid us of Hint selfishness so apty described in those quaint old lines, "Of all my mother's children I love myself the best." " "War is popular; there Is no peace; the end of the nineteenth century seen Europe armed." "Was ever capital and labor in such hostile camps ns to-day?" H'nier lli>ur<l Mecrtntr, Several days ngo.' through tho city papers, the Water Hoard requested bids for tho construction at Moore's Bridges, of flumes, drains and the foundation for I the proposed inter plant. The com mis - I Bionera yesterday, at 12 o'clock, met and oiipiied bids from seven Norfolk firms, non-residents being debarred by ordinance. Tho commissioners decided not to award the contract till next Monday night. The New York Filter Manufac? turing Company has submitted a pro? position to do this work, but according to the published notice which secured the bids, that wore opened yesterday th.-ir proposal will have to be reject? ed. Preparatory fcervleea. Services preparatory to the Quarter? ly Communion to bo administered next Sunday will he held at the Second Presbyterian Church to-ni^-l^ nt S o cJock. The sermon will be prenched by Rev. Edward Mack, of the First Presbyterian Church. A session of the church will be held In tho pastor's study ait 4:.10 o'clock Saturday afternoon for tho reception of new members. Rev. Dr. G. B. Strlek ler. of the Union Theological Seminary. Richmond, will preach Sunday morning i anil night. Dr. Strickler Is one .if the ablest divines In the Southern Presby? terian church and on eloquent pulpit orator. Rumor? u Ilhorn Fonudntlou. Occasionally rumors that hava abso? lutely r.o other foundation than fertile Imaginations obtain circulation and work injury to innocent parties. A fair sample was found yesterday. It Is to the effect that cases of sickness had boon removed from business houses for treatment. Investigation revealed that nothing of the kind had occurred and that no salesmen or saleslady of any Bb re In the city has been found suffer? ing with any complaint other than cold, or, ns some call It, "la grippe." All re? ports to the contrary are groundless. WeilH a Delawnro I.aiiy. Mr. Wright C. Wilson, of this city, ! a clerk In the Norfolk navy-yard, was | married to Miss M. Lee Fhillirs. or; Seaford, Del., at S o'clock last night. The nuptials were celebrated at the: home of tho bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lee Phillips. The omcla-; ting minister was Rev. R. K. Steven? son, pastor of St. John's M. E. church, \ of that city. The bride is one of Sea- j ford's most charming young ladies, while the groom is a popular y.>u:ig Norfolk m:in.

A Grent Industry Kmploylng Tbon ?itntia of Ilmifl? mid I'roOnctna; from Four to Six .Minion Dollars Annually. Tho steamship lines to New York, Boston and Providence are handling thousands of barrels of green truck dally. The market Is active just now for spinach, at f J to $2.25 a barrel, and the demand will be good for Norfolk truck of this character till April or May. /' The trucking business of this port is valued at about $4,000,000 to $0,000,000 annuully. It is practically a new indus? try, started not over fifteen years ago. At first one steamer was sufficient to handle all of tho truck shipped from this port North. Now, in a busy sea? son, it requires all of ll?o ships of all the Hues to keep the wharves clear of these products, consigned to merchants North. The United Slhtes census reports are authority for the statement that the most productive lands in the known world, making more dollars per acre, are the truck farmer of Norfolk's trucking, seetlom There are truckers in tills vicinity who have grown rich by the returns of a single year. It Is said that the business requires untiring en? ergy", thorough knowledge of character of soil and crop, as well ;!S reliable sell? ing agents North. A representative of the Virginian Pilot talked U> one of'the leading truck? ers of Tanner's Creek District, who says that the prospect tor good oropa this season I? excellent. He said, how? ever, not'hing is certain in truck farm? ing except fertilizing bills. "Frequently we lose thousands of dol Ir.tts In a night by a cold snap or an early frost." "When your crop is heavy it is nine to one than your neighbor has a crop equality as good: In fact, that ail of the crops of the section are good) Buyers North know the condition of the fields and down prices go." "There Is Interest and excitement In truck farming." said he. "It Is a beau? tiful business for the man who has money. The poor man may r.>ot be able to grow rich quickly: but if he Is in? dustrious he can make more than a good living.' .11EE I1 .\ 43 SCHOOL (O.II MISSION H Its BUILDING COMMITTEE APPOINT?
