Company was held In this city, on Friday last
and on Saturday meeting OF the stockholders
was held. These meetings were held with closed

nished for publication II has. however, transpred
tass the directors declared the contract OF Criss-
ven, Patterson & 90. 70 be forfeited and elected
Vim. McEinlay, oolored, and Judge James l. Orr
20 % she vacancies caused by the resignation OF
Hf. Geo. s. Cameron and the withdrawal OF Mr..
,. II. Holmes. The Board OF Directors is now as
follows: J. w. Harrison, president; T. J. Robert
son, HpnrJ Gourdin, William Gurney, G. A. Tren-
holm, James l.. Orr, william NcKinlay, J. II.
Jenks, and James ID. Allen Governor Scott and
Mayor Pillsoury are directors er oNcto, and as
they represent lne-tenths OF the stock. they con-
sroi tho company absolutely aud entirely. No
more need be said on that point The company,
! 1t is understood, win ask for NO appropriation
shis session, unless the price OF State bonds can
be run Ip to the neighborhood OF par.
Ono thing must not be forgotten. The State
and city haye an interest OF over two million dol
sars In the Blue Ridge Railroad. ana every tex
payer has right to know the state OF its afairs.
Yet tho meetings are held in holes and corners,
tha reporters arc lodged, aud all the information
tho pnsllc has. comes from eavesiroppes and
iebby members. No more significant fact than
this is found In the history OF the undertaking.
Fortunately the Blue Ridge Railroad Company
! has NO dbficulty in obtaining quorum. Pillsoury
and Scott are the company, and I both would
etye their proxies to the same individual, meet
