.@e STRANGE INDEED" 1t a@zi
Mr.. PATTERSON thought it very strange
that these overtures in regard to the Nor
folk and Great Western railroad had been
received so late in the day. twas an after
thought, and there was no reason In the
world to believe that these great promises
would be fulfilled, though it was very easy
to make them to get vote or two. He re-
peated what he had said on yesterday that
he was opposed to an overgrown foreign
corporation coming into Virginia and taking
possession of the Oldest railroad in Virginia
without shadow of excuse. s. .a.g !.

THE LATEST DODGE OF THE NoNoPoLIsTs.
The following are the amendments by
which the adherents of the Pennsylvania
Central Company hope to catch few weak
kneed opponents Of the bill: ..
"SEcTIoN 10. Before the company here
by incorporated shall have and exercise
any of the powers conferred by this act, i
shall procure the Pennsylvania Contra
Railroad Company to guarantee the bonds
Company, if required by it to do so, at any
time within five years from the passage o
this act, to an amount sufficient to built
and equip said Norfolk and Great Western
railroad from Danvjle to its western ter
minus; the bonds so guaranteed to be ap
piled exclusively to the portion of salt
road west of Danville Provided, Tha
before such guarantee can be required b.
said Norfolk and Great Western Railroad
Company it shall have received solvent sub
scriptions to its capital stock of ut least tw'
millions five hundred thousand dollars; AM
/ Provided, further, That the Norfolk ant
Great Western Railroad Company shall q

aforesaid execute n mortgage upon all it
property and franchises west Of Danville
including all subscriptions made to sait
western end of its line, to indemnify !ant
save harmless the endorser and guaranto
of said bonds"
ANOTHER ARTFUL DODGER.
And here is the scheme that Mr.. RoLLEl
has devised to decoy the friends Of Virgins
from the path OF duty:
"12. Before said Washington and Rich
mond Railroad Company shall have ant
exercise the privileges conferred by this &C
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany shall, by resolution of its directors, t.
be fled with the Board of Public Works O
Virginia, agree and obligate itself to guar
antee the first mortgage bonds of the Pied
mont and Potomac Railroad Company to al
amount necessary to place tirst-claSs super
structure and equipment on said road. an
said guarantee shall be for at least fiftee
thousand dollars per mile of said road. Th
bonds so guaranteed shall be applied solel
to superstructure and equipment on. sal
road, and said company shall have the righ
to require said guarantee to be given at an
time within five years"
