Railroad Matters.
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

WESTEKN NORTH CAROLINA.
New YORK, July 10-The western division
of the Western North Carolina railroad compa-
ny bring suit in the supreme court against Sid
ney W. Hopkins & Co., to recover $500 900 on
an accepted order. The suit grew out of issu-
ing four millions of bonds of the state of North
Carolina to the plaintiff, George WI Swepson,
president of the company at the time, and Mil
ton s. Littleield, it is alleged sold the bonds in
this city; with somewhat over a million dol
lars Of the proceeds they bought bonds of some
Florida railroad companies which were after
wards consolidated, and to which the Florida
legislature offered state bonds in exchange for
mortgage bonds of the consolidated company.
These Florida bonds were sent TO this city TO
Hopkins & Co., for the state.
The state OF North Carolina, however, ap-
pointed commissioners to examine into what
had been done with the bonds of the North Car
DINA railroad company, and it is alleged that,
under threats of criminal prosecutions, Sweep
son & Littlefield gave an order for SS00,000 in
favor of the North Carolina railroad, and offered
to furnish iron for fiftythree miles of that road
This order Hopkins & Co. accepted but after
ward declined TO pay, on the ground that they
had not received money for all the bonds :
whereupon Sidney Hopkins was arrested and
placed under 100000 bail to-day. A motion
was made TO vacate the order of arrest. 1t was
argued by the defence that Swepson & Little.
field had no right TO pay their own private debts
to the North Carolina road with the proceeds of
the sales OF bonds issued to the the Florida rail-
way company for special purpose The plain
tiffs argue that by accepting the order the de-
PENDANTS were not in position to question the
plaintiffs right TO the road. Decision reserved
on motion.
CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Jadge Drummond, in the
United States circuit court, has rendered de-
eison in the patent case of Thomas Sayles
against the Chicago and Northwestern railroad,
for infringement Of Tanners double-actipg car
brake, in favor of the Tanner patent upon all
points of controversy. The case has been in
the courts nearly ten years. Nearly all railroads
in the United States, including horse railroads,
by this decision are infringing Tanners patent
and the result involves millions of dollars.

UUMFLAINTb AIAINST VICTORIA.
BERLIN, July 10.-The press of this city have
for the past four days been commenting severe
ly upon the fact that the crown prince Of Prus-
STA, in his present visit to England, has thus far
been compelled to accept the inequalities of
Count Bernsdorff, the Prussian ambassador, in
stead of being the guest of the royal family of
England. The attention of the people has also
been directed to the matter, and there is a deep
and growing feeling of popular disgust against
the English government for what is regarded
here as royal shabbiness, in not rendering TO
Prince Frederick William every hospitality con-
sistent with his exalted station.

robbed of $500 at the supper table, Friday night,
while conversing with a deputy U. S. marshal
named Mester. The latter took up the lamp for
the purpose of looking for the money, but pur-
