President John Skolton Williams Denies lliu "Mutual Ownorslilp" Story?Humor? ed O. & ?>. Acquisition - AI. Ac SI. T. Co's. Now Line North Carolina Railroads. A New York special in yesterday's Richmond Dispatch says: "An important meeting of the Sea? board Air Line interests was held hero to-day, but the Officers attending de? clined tu make public the proceedings. It was hinted, however, that the sub? ject of discussion was the purchase of the st ock of Thomas F. Ryan, who has been suing the company as a stock? holder of the Seaboard and Honnoko and Raleigh and (lustem railroads. Rep? resentatives of the different lines con? stituted by the Seaboard Air Dine were in town, as were sonn; of the officers of that company, who are usually lo? cated in the south. "It is understood that the purchase of Air. Ryan's holdings of stock is to be made by .lohn I.. Williams & Sons, of Richmond; .Middendorf. Oliver it Co., of Baltimore, und William F. Cochrnn and C. Sidney Shepard, of this city. These gentlemen are to turn the stock over lo the managing company upon the same terms and conditions imposed In the original contract for tin; eve hange of their Blocks for Seaboard Ail Line SCCUrll ies. "The reluctance of the oUlcers of the Seaboard Air Dine to discuss the mut? ter was due to the fact that the Penn? sylvania railroad ami Baltimore nnd Ohio railroad influences at'e back of the transaction. Mr. Ryan is equally averse to giving any information re? garding the subject." "MUTUALITY" STORY DISCREDIT? ED. In regard to the reported plan for mutual ownership of various competi? tive railroad Interests in the south. President John Skolton Williams, of the Seabonrd Air Dine, is reported us stat? ing emphatically that he denies the ru? mor so far as it relates to the Seaboard Air Dine; but, so far as it may refer to the Southern or the Atlantic coast Dine, he has no information. The ru? mor of w hieb we speak included these three systems. From Baltimore comes the statement of a prominent financier that he dis? credits the report in part nt this time, but believes tin- control of the pro? perties will eventually be in the hands of the same interests, and that the Pennsylvania-New York Centra I-Balti? more and Ohio-Chosapehke and Ohio Norfolk and Western controlling Inter? ests will be identical with those of the:;., three systems leading into the far south. The report from Atlanta that Vlce Presidenl St. John has confirmed or even discussed the alleged big short? age of tlx- agent at Fernandlna is un? founded. A CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RE? PORT. A report is current that the Chesa? peake and Ohio Railway Company has secured n controlling interest in the Potomac, Frederlcksburg and Piedmont railroad. The Piedmont road Is a nar? row-gauge line extending from Fred? erlcksburg to Orange, Va.. a distance of thirty-eight miles. At Orange a con? nection is made with the Chesapeake nnd Ohio. By changing the lino to Standard gauge and extending it a dis? tance of twelve miles the Chesapeake and Ohio would reach navigable water on the Potomac river, and In connec? tion It is stilted that the Chesapeake and Ohio may utilize this to transport cotil to the Potomac, where i: Will be loaded on vessels. NO RTH CAROLINA MID LA N D RAILROAD. The stockholders of the North Caro? lina Midland railroad held their annunl meeting at Winston-Salem Wednes? day. Colonel A. R. Andrews president of the road, was represented by hirj private secretary, Mr. 11. W. Miller. The old board of directors, with one exception, was re-elected. The name of tlie man dropped was not given out. These officers were elected: President, A. D. Andrews; Vice-President. W. W. Finiey; Secretary, H. W. Miller: Treas? urer, 11. c. Xlnsley; Auditor, J. H. Platt. Executive committee, A. D. An? drews, A. Leaser nnd O. W. Hlnshaw. The financial report was entirely sat? isfactory and encouraging. It showed that the business the past year was the best In the history of the road. Every year heretofore there has been a deficit, but the report for the past twelve months shows a surplus after paying expenses and interest on bonds. THE GREAT BASTEN. Of tliis new North Carolina road Mr. J. H. Maeieary, one of its directors, ] writes as follows: "C. E. Coon, the contractor, is now working his entire force of 1T>0 mules and 2U0 men between Snow Hill and Fremont. The engineers started sur? vey on the lsth instant from Fremont to Raleigh, N. C. As soon as the line is located Mr. Coon will put a large force at work at one grading between Frcmoat and Raleigh. Tl\e completion of same will be vigorously pushed. Tracklaylng will start at Fremont In thirty days and be continued to Snow Hill; thence from Fremont and follow the grade to Raleigh. At the same time the construction will continue from Snow Hill to Pantogo, where connec? tion will be made with the Norfolk and Southern railroad. The road will then continue to Englehard, on Pamllco sound, where deep water connection Is made with all eastern points. North? ern points nre reached via Norfolk and Southern and New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk, all Southern nnd Western points via Seaboard Air .line at Ra? leigh. The route traverses a very fer? tile country. The entire length of line Is about 100 miles. It Is expected to complete the road In two years." At the annual meeting of the stock? holders of the Charleston and Western Carolina division of the Atlantic Coast line tin: prescht officers were re-elected. James 11. Cleveland Is president and Harry Walters vice president. The Merchants' and Farmers' Steam? boat company, of Wilmington, N. C., bus given a contract for an additional steamer, which will be 111 feet In length and used upon the rivers of North Carolina. It is being construct? ed in Wilmington. A dispatch from Savannah, Ga., Is to the effect that the Philadelphia and Savannah line, recently Inaugurated by the Merchants' and Miners' Transpor? tation company, will in future com? prise three vessels, which will give a schedule of two sailings a week from each city. At present a weekly sched? ule is enforced. President Francis I. Gowen, of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad company, in a recent interview, stnted that the proposed extension from Hnrtshornc to Ardmore, 1. T., will pro? bably be bullt. It will be llf> miles In length. This is the rond with which the Southern is reported to be negoti? ating an alllnacc. LAMBERT'S POINT. NEWSY ITEMS GATHERED BY OUR REPORTER YESTERDAY. It is learned that two more carloads of looms are en route here for the Nor? folk silk mill. When these looms are placed in position, which will be done Immediately after their arrival, the mill will be able to give employment to a full force of hands. The new machin? ery which was received by the compa? ny several weeks ago Is oil up and in full operation. When the entire out tit Is in position it will necessitate the con? stant employment of three or four hun? dred hands, thereby enabling the com? pany to turn out the largest amount of material. The walls of the new hosiery factory have already been completed and the building is about ready to receive the roofing. The starting up of this new enterprise, which will be early in next year, will give employment to several hundred females, and will thus he an? other help to the business interests of this section. Rev. C. U. MeGhee. who was appoint? ed pastor of the Methodist church here at the recent session of the Virginia conference, will preach his Initial ser? mons for his new congregation next Sunday.
