THE NORFOLK RAILWAY AND LAND DEAL. IT WAS CONSUMMATED LAST NIGHT Schuylkill Enorgy and, Enterprise) Beginning to Show Itself in tho Famous Southorn Olty. The Incorporators. N Important railway j and land deal affecting tho commercial and other Interests of Nor folk, Virginia, was con summatcd at tho offices of tho Homo Friendly Society Id town last night. Tho deal resulted in the organization of tho Norfolk & Ocean View Railroad Com pany, particulars of which aro given more fnlly bolow. This organization has the following govern ment by an election held last evening after tho arrangements consummlating tho deal wero in shape: President, P. J. Ferguson; Secretary, D. D. Phillips; Treasurer. J. J. Franey; Incorior.ittri, P. J, Ferguson, J. J. Franey, John F. Finnoy, M. Mcllot, II, C. Iioyer, M. Malonc. John Grant, of Shenan doah; D. D. Phillips, Gordon; C. Eberlo and Peter Griffith, Girardvillo; John J. Coylo aud David Graham, Mahanoy City. Simultaneously with tho consummation of this railway deal tho organization of tho Wiiloughby Hotel & Cottage Company, whoso relation with tho Norfolk & Ocean View Eallway Company is also more fully oxplaincd below, was effected and the follow ing officers elected : President, P. J. Fergu son ; Secretary, D. I). Phillips ; Treasurer, J. J. Franey; Incorporators, P.-J. Ferguson, J. J. Franey, John F. Finney, M. Jlcllet, II. C. Boycr, II. Malono and John Grant, of Shenandoah; D. D. Phillips, if Gordon; 0. Eberlo and Peter Griffith, Girardville; John J. Coyle and David Graham, Mahanoy City. Tho consummation of this undertaking Is in no small measure duo to tho foresight, enterprise and uutirlng energy of our towns man, Mr. John F. Finney, who first conceived tho Idea when visiting Norfolk early last summer. Sinco that timo ho has worked unceasingly to bring tho project to its present status. Mr. P. J. Ferguson Is well-known In rail way circles throughout the country and his election to the presidencies of tho organiza tions is looked upon as ono of the wisest steps that led to tho deal. Mr. Franey is too well known to the peo ple of this section of Pennsylvania to need any introduction. His business Interests In this town aud elsewhere aro extensive and ho is certainly ono of tho most-and energetic business men of this stite. j Mr. Phillips, tho secretary, is favorably known throughout Pennsylvania in business and political circles and no Introduction is necessary. Tho rest of tho incorporators are also known as progressive business men of un mistakable ability and energy and their connection witli tho project will result in speedily placing the organizations ou a firm and profitable basis. Mr. Franey left for Norfolk to-day. The promotion of these railway and land projects will entail an outlay of about half a million dollars. An outline'of tho project, together with a reflection of the sentiments of Norfolk peo ple regarding It, is best given In tho following article clipped from tho Korfolk Virginian of tho 14th inst. : For several months Northern capitalists have been negotiating for the purchase of the Ocean View railroad and hotel property. Yesterday a sale was consummated, which transfers to Mr, Franey, of Pennsylvania, and his associates, not only the railroad aud hotel property, but the Wiiloughby Spit tract of laud, stveral hundred acres, on the Chesapeake Day and Hampton Roads, for $200,000. This purchase means great things for Nor folk. Mr. Franey will at once put this road in good condition and thoroughly equip It. He will also extend the.line to Wiiloughby Spit whero a town will bo laid out. An ele gant and commodious hotel will be erected and cottages built for the accommodation of those who desire to spend tho summer at this delightful resort. A bteam furry will be established from the termluus of the road at Wiiloughby Spit to Old Point, aud large and modern ferry steam ers will bo purchased for tho service. The company will reduce tho rates from Norfolk to Ocean VIow and Wiiloughby Spit from accents, tho present price, to 10 cents. If the olty will grunt the franchises tho lino will lie extended down Chapel street to some point In the heart of the city. Mr. Franoy stutoi that the work will bo couimwiced at once, so that the hotel will bo ready by early spring for the accommodation of tho thousands who will desire to visit Norfolk during tho naval review, no thinks this an ideal place for a scasldo resort, and believes that the hotel will bo not ablo to ac commodate one-fifth of those who would sock this resort while the navies of the world aro In Hampton Roads. Ho believes that Norfolk has advantages superior to any point In tho South; that Nor folk will rccclvo great benefits from tho re view If tho business men of this city make the necessary efforts to present appropriately Norfolk's natural advantages and entertain properly tho strangers who may be attracted hero. Tho original owners of the property aro to bo congratulated that they have niado a good sale, and Mr. Franey and his friends have so cured property which, developed, will line their pockets with gold.

Tho column of tho newspapers there are filled with correspondence for and against the project. "I observe that Allentown Is taking vigorous action for tho preservation of its Inhabitants and for tho benefit of our borough authorities I have taken tho liberty of republishing tho subsuinco of some of its recent legislation. One of tho ordinances provides that there shall not bo a public or church funeral of any person who has died of Asiatic cholera, small pox, typhus fever, diphtheria, yellow fever, scarlet fever or mcaslos, und tho family of tho deceased shall in all such cases limit tho at tendance to as few as possible, and take all precautions possible to prevent tho exposure of other persons to contagion orinfection; and tho person authorizing tho public uotico of death bf such person shall have tho namo of disease which caused tho death appear In such public notices. The Councils also pro poso establishing a crematory for tho destruc tion of garbage. Mahanoy City people aro enthusiastic over tho coming opening of the line to Mahanoy Piano, as they expect to capture all the trado in tho Mahanoy Valley which heretofore went to Shenandoah. At the same time thoy aro vigorously protesting against any suggestion to extend the railway from Shen andoah to St. Nicholas. A Mahanoy City gentleman said to mo yesterday; "Wo aro glad that wo have tho clcctrio railway aud any ill-feeling we may havo had against tho peo ple who engineered tllo railway schemo has passed off, for wo are now convinced that neither Mahanoy City or Shenandoah capital could havo built It. The people had no idea of what tho cost would bo and they aro glad now that they did not attempt it." A gentleman who stood by added : " When the? road is In full operation it will bo ono of the best paying in the stato outside tho large cities and I bclievo that tho Btock of the road will soon bo abovo par and hard to secure." Ono thing I havo accepted as a certainty is that the heaviest expense- is now over and the traffic on tho road next summer will bo great and will put the company in good shape. OflB.

CRITICISMS ARE OBJECTIONABLE Thoroforo Our Illustrious Borough Fathers Declare That tho "Herald" Roporters Shall Not Attend Council. OUNOIL met last even ing to transact business perlalnlng to tho inter ests of tho borough This they did and be fore adjourning, and acted on a little picre for Individual Interest. The Councllmcn pres ent were Messrs. Coaklcy, Stout, Holman, Lamb, McGuIrc, Gablo, Scheifly, Gallagher and Iicttcridgc. Dr. Williams, who has been in town a month past, introducing Ko-Da, mildly protested that ho thought the local license rato was a Httlo high; that he had paid $15 for tho past month. Mr. Lamb promised Mr. Wil liams that tho matter would receivo attention under the prorcr order of business and the Chief Iiargcs3 would let him know tho deci sion. Council did not touch uion tho subject after. McHcnry Wllhclm, Esq,, of Asliland, was present and asked as counsel for tho M C, S., G, & A. Street Railway Conipary and tho Schuylkill Traction Company, tin t tho ordinance granting tho right of way to tho former company tho lessor of tho latter, bo amended by moving tho words "its suet ess rs and assigns" after tho words "Mahanoy Ci y, Shcnamlooh, Girardvillo and Ashland Street Railway Company." After some discussion Council' adopted a resolution to that effect presented by Mr. Mc Wllhclm, with tho proviso that the law committee consult tho borough's counsol before publishing tho ordinance, to ascertain what bearing tho ordinance will havo on tho oxlsting relation! of tho borough with tho Traction company. Mr. T. J. Mullahcy appeared as one of tho Soldiers' Monument Commltteo and asked permission to uso a spaco 1G feet square at tho intersection of Main and Centre streets as a site for the monument. Tho request was granted with the under standing that tho Monument Committee se cure fiom tho electric railway company an Instrumont in writing exonerating Council from any liability by reason of Council hav ing granted tho railway company tho right of way at tho placo stated. At its lost regular meeting the Borough Council granted each of tho flrcmon who did scrvlco In tearing down tho ruins at the Lamb property in tho First ward $1 oacb. Last night Council decided to award each of tho men $1.50. A report was made on the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge matter, tho settlement of the coso being stated exactly as tho Herald ro- ported it yestorday-that the company had agreed to put a 25-foot span and havo it 13 feet clear of the highway, A letter handed, to Councilman Bctteridgo yestorday by George J, Wadliuger, Esq., counsel for Qulnn & Kerns, the contractors for tho proposed public water works, was In-1 teresting. It was a formal notice from Qulnn & Kerns that tho firm with which thoy had contracted for the supply of pipe for Mr. Scheifly Bald that ho, as ono of tho mem tho works had notified them that unless the here of Council, was not ashamed to havo any order for the pipe would be placed within ten thing ho did or said in Couucil go before the days It would not bo furnished at tho price contracted for. Tho letter went on to state that Messrs Qulnn & Kerns would hold the borough responsible for tho difference In the cost of pipe. Accompanying tho letter was a bill for "Fouracrosof cleaning scrnb $250 $1,000. The communication was " received." Then came the red letter event of tho evening. The secretary read a resolution that charged tho Shenandoah Herald and W. J, Watkins with not reporting tho Coun ell proceedings correctly and numerous other offences, (an absence of the document or a . , , copy of it, making a correct report of the Bpeciflo charges an Impossibility) and declar ing that the said W. J, Watkins, or any other reporter of the Shenandoah Herald, bo excluded from the meetings of the Borough Couucil. Mr. Gable promptly moved tho adoption of the resolutlou aud Mr. Stout seconded the motion. Mr. Holman thought that Council meetings were publlo and any citlzon had a right to attend them. Mr. Scheifly said he would not support any motion of tho kind. Ho did not bclievo in excluding anybody from the room-reportcr, 1 or no reporter. Mr. (lablo said it was wrong to criticl acts of Council without authority. Mr. Lamb thought "thoy" had a right U criticizo but not to dollbcrately lie, or Micu (rue. Mr. Coakloy, ono of tho signers of tho resolution, then delivered himself of this : "80 far as the meetings are concerned, siuct tho lost trouble, he (presumably Watkins) liu reported pretty correct." Mr. Lamb said "It doesn't make any difference whether here, or elsewhere, If they misrepresent tho facta wo have rcasoa to exclude them from hero," Finally the motion to adopt the rceolatlon was carried. Mr. Coaklcy did not think that Mr Watkins should bo made a martyr in the matter. Ho did not believe, he said, that Mr. Watkins was responsible for all that had been said in the paper about Council and he would like Mr. Watkins to say whether ir not he was so responsible. Mr. Watkins did not answer. Mr. Coakley was desirous of having an answer. Temporary Chairman Lamb said Mr. Watkins could answer If he saw fit. Mr. Watkins said that ho would treat the Interrogation as he would any request for tho namo of a correspondent to the paper he represented, Mr, Watkins then asked for a copy of th resolution containing tho charges. Mr. Lamb said tho granting of tho request rosted with Council. A motion to grant it was lost, Messrs. Scheifly and Holman, who voted against the adoptiou of the resolution, voting In tho affirmative. Mr. Scheifly asked that a certain part of the adopted resolution bo re-read. T. R. Ileddall, Esq., who occupied a seat In tho rear cud of tho chamber, asked, as a citizen, that the whole resolution bo read. Mr. Lamb proccoded to read as follows : WiiEitEAS, Tho Shenandoah ;Hkiai.d bas, for the last year, or more, misrepresented the work done by tho Uorough Council of Shenan doah and, through Its reporter, Intentionally failed to correctly report Its proceedings; and, whereas, wo believe" Just hero Mr, Gablo jumped to his feet "I rise to a point of order. I thought you wore not going to give tho reporter a copy of that resolution," ho said, addressing Temporary Chairman Lamb. " I am not." " But," exclaimed Mr. Gable, pointing to tho reporter, "don't you see hois taking It down (shorthand) as fast as you are reading It." Mr. Lamb tried to say something like " Well, if ho can take it, let him havo it," but a wink or something must have changed his mind, for ho skipped down to a part of tho resolution that was so well adapted to tho taste of the ruling members that tho reporter concluded not to report it In tho nbsenco of tho document as a whole. Mr. Holman took occasion to remark that it was tho criticlsmsf the acts of the Couu cilmen, and not the reports of the proceed ings that were nipping, and criticisms lie J thought, oven thougli he had been included lu thcln wcr0 excusable on the grounds that tho opinions of all Peonle are not alike. T. It. Beddall, Esq., asked, "And has this Council adopted such a resolution?" A voice: "Khan," "Well, I Wouldn't bo guilty of such a thing." Mr. Coakloy again stated that so far as tho J meetings wero concerned tho proceedings had boon reported pretty well. 1. public.
