(Special to Vlrglnlan-Pllot.) Richmond, Va., July 5.?It Is believed that negotiations looking to the con? solidation of the Bier four and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads into one | system are now pending with prospect of a successful termination. The New York papers have frequent? ly of late spoken of the probability of the two,roads being united and taken Into the big; New York Central System, which has greatly branched out of late, taking: In about everything in sight There is said to be no likelihood what? ever of the Chesuiieake and Ohio and Big Four belnff placed In any euch combination. But It Is believed that the union of the Chesapenke and Ohio and Big Four Is now not only possible, but probable. The Vanderbllts are said to have ac? quired a controlling1 interest In the Big Four within tho past year. J. P. Mor? gan & Co. own a majority of the stock of the Chesaneake and Ohio- The ob? ject of the negotiations Is. of course, to lessen operating expenses. Whether there would be a great reduction In the force In the general offices of tho com? pany is not known, of course, but It is not believed thero would be. It has long been known that the force In the Chesapeake and Ohio general ofilces have been Just as small as possible. It is not believed It could well be reduced. CLOSELY ALLIED. The two roads are now very closely allied. Mr. M. E. Ingalls Is president of both. Tralllc arrangements are very close. It is said to be the intention in ease the deal goes through to operate the system as two divisions. It is pro? bable that the location of the general offices of each division would remain unchanged. Economy in operation could be the only object In consolidation, for, as slated, th? two roads are now very closely allied. ADVANTAGE OF CONSOLIDATION. The Chesapeake and Ohio would gain an entrance into Toledo by the consoli? dation, as Morgan has recently acquired the Toledo and Ohio Central. The Kan awha and Michigan, a part of the Tol? edo and Ohio Central System, connects with the Chesapeake and Ohle, at Oran ley Bridge, W. Vo., forty miles east of Charleston. The construction of a few miles of road would connect tho Hock? ing Vulley and the Big Four. The mileage of the Chesapeake and i Ohio Is 1,300 miles; that of the Big Four Is 2,345 miles, thus making the mileage of the consolidated lines about 3,600 miles. LEAD AND SILVER FOUND. A man in Frederick county seems to have discovered on his farm a vein of lead and silver ore that bids fair to prove as valuable as a gold mine. A few days ago the gentleman sent to Mr. Korner, commissioner of agri? culture, a specimen of the ore with the request that he have it assayed. Mr. Komer took it to one of the best known chemists In Richmond, who went to work upon it. The result was announced. The ore was ver.y rich in lead. It was almost as rich?In silver, and?there was a fair quantity of gold, about .09 per cent. There is said to be a large quantity of ore as rich as this on the land from which the specimen was taken. CAPITOL NOTES. The examinations for the Peabody scholarship will be held on Julv 20th and 21st, nt Pulaskl, Roanoke, Freder Icksburg, Richmond and Petersburg. Seven vacancies arc to be filled. Two farmer boys have written to the Governor from Harmony Grove, Jack? son county. On., saying they have heard he wants fourteen companies of infnnt ry. They are anxious to enlist and nre ready to come whenever transportation is furnished them. Chief W. T. Bradby, of the Patnunkey Indians, says a committee of his peo? ple will shortly call on the Governor to tell of their grievances. The In? dians want to he represented nt the Paris Exposition and with State aid they will send over a troupe to produce a play representing the saving of John Smith's life by Pocahontas. The Huntsville, Ala., Chamber of Commerce has notified the Governor that It has called a convention to meet In that city September 4th to consider the industrial development of the South. He is Invited to offer sugges? tions as to what should be done looking to the upbuilding of his State. THE CASE OF MKS. ELLIS. Captain Norman L. Shaw, Grand Dic? tator of the Knights of Honor of North Carolina, is quoted as saying he was in the hotel when Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Ellle were married, the caee attracting especial attention at the time on ac? count of the youth of the bride. He also said that Ellis had some trouble with the clerk of the hotel the same night. Mrs. Ellis fr'aid this morning she had no knowledge of any difficulty in securing a marriage license, nor ot Bills having a quarrel with the clerk of the hotel. It might easily have oc? curred without her knowledge.however. ELLIS LOCATED. Reporte from the Sonthside are to the effect that within the past few days Ellis has been at his mother's home, near Templeton, Prince George county, and that he went from there to visit hlo sister at Ilomevllle, In Sussex coun? ty. Mrs. E. H. Rawllnga told a reporter this morning that the man Ellle. who came to see her husband, Rev. E. H. Bawlinga, and made and broke two an polntments, looked very much like the picture of the man printed In the Lead? er a few days ago. She was especially struck with the hollow appearance of his chest. Mrs. Allen and Mrs. 13111a both said this morning that Ellis had the appearance of being hollow-chest? ed, and that he could be recognized by the picture. Ellis never left a word at Mr. ttaiwllng'fj home as to the nature of his business with that gentleman. Mrs. Allen told me this morning that imme? diately after the first announcement of the trouble she had received a letter from Jarrad Ellis' brother, Walter E. Ellis, In Norfolk;naklng for Information a? to the former's whereabouts. Sev? eral other things point to the fact that the family of Ellis did not know he had deserted his wife up to the past few weeks. / LIFE IN JAIL,. Mrs. Allen spends her entire time at the Jail with her daughter and Is allow? ing the need ot our-ot-door exercise. Mrs. Ellis it; also much paler and was very unwell yesterday and to-day. Sirs. Allen was telling this morning ot tho high esteem she had for Mr. Hogers, and that she had regarded him almost In the light ot being one of her own children. A, few minutes later Mr. Hogers came In and the greeting was as affecting as if they bad been mother I and son. A telegram from Farmvllle says: "Mia. Cleamonts, sister ot Mrs. Ellis, I was taken to Uurkevlllc yesterday morning with the hope that a chang* of scene would assist her In recovering from nervous prostration occasioned by her sister's desperate act." THE SHOOTING OF FLANAGAN. Mr. W. (5. Pllklnton, who shot and killed Mr. William M. Flanagan at Powhatan courthouse Monday, has cm plolycd no counsel other than Colonel Wlckham. Some other lawyer will be associated with Colonel Wlckham be? fore the trial comes off. Mr. Pllklntou's family was once quite well off, but be Is what might bo called a poor man now. and is unable to spend very much money on counsel. It is said fi lends of Mr. Flanacen will raise a fund to employ some law? yer to assist Judge Asa I>. Watklns In the prosecution of Mr. Pilklnlon. Mr. Edgar Allan will probably be asked to aid Judge Watklns. MB. FLANAGAN'S FUNERAL. Mr. Flanapan's funeral took place at 2 p. m. to-day from Peterville Church, four miles from Powhatan courthouse. It was nttended by people from all parts of Powhatan and Cumberland. Mr. Flnnnpnn was nn ardent Methodist, and often made Sunday school add re se 8. The next term of Powhatan County Court will convene on the llrst Monday in August. A grand Jury will be sum? moned for that (late to Investigate the Pllklnton ense. The trial will probably come off at the same term, it Is be? lieved that It will be difficult to get a jury In Powhatan to try the case, as most of the people have formed and expressed on opinion. It may he that a rhnnitc of venire to Richmond'will be asked. THE WITNESSES. There will be no material conflict In "the testimony. The four witnesses to ihe shooting who testified at the In? quest are Messrs. Robert R. Lee. J. TInsklns Hobson. W. S. Goods, nnd R. Wr. Wlnfree. They all soy Mr. Flanagan came up and made nn attack upon Mr. Pllklnton. The Into senator was pound? ing Mr. Pllklnton with his right fist and had him by the throat with his left hand when tho shooting occurred. Mr. Wlnfree caught hold of Mr. Pllklnton nnd was trying to wrench the pistol from his hand when the weapon explod? ed. Mr. Ooode had hold of Mr. Flana? gan's coat tall, and wss Irving to pull him away from Mr. Pllklnton. BRIEF NOTES. The City Democratic.
