The new Raleigh and Norfolk Road
is not making much blow" but few
roads can make a better show. 1t was
built between Norfolk and Elizabeth
City inside of six months, and Is now
running twelve miles westward from
the latter city in the direction ofRaleigh.
The builders say the track will be open
from Norfolk to E1enton by the end of
October. Edenton is just across the
river from WILLIAMSON and the track is
graded from that point to Tarboro
and Rocky Mount. Ii is not unlike
ly that this new road will damage Raj
eigh as a cotton market, for the greater
facilities that are offered to reach ship
ping, the more certainly the staple will
improve them: but it will be u good
thing if it increases the general trade,
aud forces the establishment of manu-
factories, whish are the true talismen
of Raleigh's future prosperity.
Mr.. Cicero w. Harris writes from
Washington to the Goldsboro Messenger
as follows:-''Ihe North Carolina col
ony has been somewhat excited over the
Associated Press dispatch from Greens
boro which left the impression that
young Dave Vance had started "On
to Washington" with bloody intent
against Capt. j. B. Husscy. The news
was made known in yesterdays after
noon papers. This morning diligent
search was made for David by friends
of the Senator who would have saved
his son from possible danger. He could
not be found in any quarter. The CLERK
at the Metropolitan Hotel said that ex-
actiy one hundred people had called last
night and this morning, but that up to
that moment the young man had not
put in his appearance. Capt. Hussey
had left the city Sunday morning. IN
company with Gov. Jarvis who went to
Cleveland to attend the funeral of Presi-
dent Garfield"
Capt. Samuel S. Kirkland, of
Hillsboro, is seriously damaged by the
recent accident neal Rutherfordton.
The Banner says:-'We regret to note
that Maj. Kirkland's condition became
such that his physicians, upon consul
tanburg, decided it to be necessary to
amputate his leg, which was done on
Saturday last, being taken off above the
knee. A splintered portion Of the bone
was found to have lodged crosS-wise be-
tween the broken bone, which prevent
ed it from knitting together. The Ma
jor's brother, Capt. Jno. Kirkland, of
New York, is with him, and his daugh
ter, Miss Lola, is wei at his side.
Capt. w. T. McEntire, who has been
with him day and night since the acci
dent, is faithfully watching over him.
With the constant attention and care
bestowed by his attending physicians,
Drs. Rucker, Grafton, Harris and Hicks.
it is hoped he may recover sufficiently
to direct u railroad matters, his great
interest in which has caused him the
loss of a limb, and untold suffering"
