Senator Hill, who hopes to be the
Democratic Presidential candidate,
thought bo little of the honor of the
country, that he went to New York to
do a little political wire-pulling in

"peanut" politician.

TOWN PEOPLE INVESTIGATING,
Other Doings in the Borough,
Some of the Eleotrlo Oars
Arrive and Attract Con
siderable Attention.
Yesterday several of our prominent
townsmen received postal cards with th
following printed on the back :
"Shenandoah. Feb. 1st. 1892.
Dear Sir: You are rcuDcctfullv Invited to
attend a meeting of personal Interest to your-
sen mis, xucsauy, evening, ui o u uiuck, m mu
panor 01 me Ferguson uouso.
"l". J. r jsiiuuHun,
Per C. P, It.
In response to the request five mystified
townsmen and a IIkkald reporter seated
ihemsolves in the parlor of tho Ferguson
House alter groellngs by ' O. F. a," or
0. P llower, lorinerly af liryn Alawr,
"AVhat aro we here for ?" was answered by
Mr. llower, who staled that the meeting
had boon called in tbo interest of the Nur
folk, Wilmington and Charleston Killroad
Ojtnpany.
Air. llower is a gentloman of plain, but
well-to-do appearance, suuvo in manner,
clean, cut, bueinisj-like countenance and a
head of hair that is fast turning vhito.
After a few preliminary remarks he spread
upon a labia two maps showing the route
of tho Atlantic Coast Line and the pro
posed route of the Norfolk, Wilmington
and Charleston Railway. Tbo road, Mr.
Hjwer showed by pamphlets and other
documents bo held in hand, was chartered
by the Legislature of North Carolina on
March 3d, 1891, with a capital stock of
?G, 000,000. The general offices of the com
pany aro at 212 South Third street, l'hila
delphla, Fa. The road has the chartered
right, according to tbo documents, to build
its road through tbo state of Virginia, and
has secured in North Carolina "ono of the
most liberal charters ever granted." Also,
''it will form the inside Atlantic Coast
route, and shorten tho distance between
Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York, Boston
and all other northern points, and Charles-
ton, oavanoan, and monda, over one
hundred mlle3 over the distanco traversed
by tho existing lines. At Norfolk it will
connect with the Pennsylvania Railroad
system." The prospnctus also Btates that
the road "will run through the richest and
best trucking region of the United Statos,
traverse the largest tlmbor district in the
South, and opon up a great rice, cotton
and naval stores producing country. It
will also open to immediato sett'oment
hundreds of thousands of acres of laud
and establish numerous towns,"
Mr. llower stated that the company now
has thirty-live men at work securing right
of way, and that tho townships along thn
line are oxp 'Ctod to contribute ?1.'200.0jO.
The townships will issue their bonds in re-
turn lor stock (if the company. One place,
h said, with a populxtion of but 16 000, has
a-ready pledged ?100 000. Mr. Howe
said that the subscription business -as in
good hands and, as in all like projects,
politics wore playing an important part in
the interest of the pn Ject. The people will
make tho subscriptions' by publjo election
and the county chairmen, both Democrat
ic and Republican, are urging tho poop
to vote for the subscript, on with 815 per
week and oipnnses, (a to;al estimated cost
of $7,000 to the railway company) as an
incentive. Tho Governors of the North
and South Oirolioas. ha said, aro also
right in it." Continuing Mr. llower
said, "AVe havo tho Quays, Wallaces and
llarrltys of North and South Carolina
with us." The company's competitor
is
the Atlantic Coast Line peoplo, and if th
company will stop operations to-day they
will willingly pay f3 C5 for evory dollar
invested.
Tho road has been lurveyod, but is not
staked, because, Mr. llower, said,'tbe com
pany wants to keep tho people in ignorance
of the exact line of tho road until after
they vote their subscriptions. Tho engi
neers have made two parallel surveys, and
the peoplo aro not sure which will be fol-
lowed. The adoption will depend upon
the highest bidder, After Mr. llower bad
figured up how the Atlantic Coast line
paying 15 percent, on its bonds, bo said
he will call upon his listoners within two
or three days and talk more on the subject.
Tho meeting adjournod.
Mr. P. J. Ferguson was present as a di
rector of tho company, ho having taken
$5,000 block of stock. Mr. llower says li
only has about $14,000 worth of stock left
and that the company is willing to give
Shenandoah soven directorships if her
pooplo will take tho stock that is soven
directorships in tbo railway, construction
and Und boards, Mr, Franoy, who was
the meeting, said last night that he did not
exactly understand the matter, that
looked to him like a wheel within a wheel
arrangement, but it was understood to-day
that bo hud decided to join Mr, Forguso
as a Southern railroad magnate.

From the Pacific.
Judge A. P. Ovorton, of tho Sup-em
Court, of California, President of Santa
Rosa Savings Bank, and Director of the
Homo for Feeble Minded Children, is one
f tho most prominent men on tbo Pacific
coast. As a man ho has the confidence of
every ono, and as a judge hn is held in
niversal esteem. A short timo ago bis
Honor wrote that he had been Induced to
purchaso Dr. Miles' Restorallvo Nervine
for a lady who had been subject to spasms
for 21 years. It gave the best of satisfac
tion and did "moro good in threo months
than other romedies bad dono in tbre
years I" The patient i3 greatly improved
hough it was evidently a desperate cafo
Dr. Miles' Nervine and also his New Heart
Cure are excellent remedies. Tboy may
be bad of our enterprising druggists.
"The Corner Grooer."
Squire A. J. Gallagher, who has, within
a short time, built a lucrative Justice of
tbo Pcaco, real estate end insurance bus!
ness, has made a new departure by pur
chasing tho grocery (torn at tho corner of
Centre and West streets, heretofore con
ducted by the Muldoons. The 'squire is a
young man but bo has mora push and en-
torprising spirit in him than can be found
in half a dozen ordinary men and he will
certainly make his new venture a success,
He has arranged matters so that the gro
cery business will be kept abreast with the
best in the town, in stock and prices, and
yet give all matters pertaining to bis
office as Justice of the Peace and his real
estate and fire insurance business tho usual
prompt and careful attention.

Disgraceful Exhibition.
Tboro was a Polish wedding on &mi
Centre street yestordy. Tho party drove
from the church in an exceedingly lively
frame of mind and drove along Bowers
street so recklossly that the lives of child-
ren wore endangered. The drivers ap-
peared to be racing with each othor and
those who know bow horses that can't raco
travel under the whip can readily judge
the exhibition that was made, It was too
bad the parties were not arreslod.
Both Companies Censured.
