ViIliams,s store at Gravel Hill, as re-
nor,cd a few weeks since, was caught near
Manchester n few days ago and brought
hact IN tbis county, and Is now lodged In
tbe iaiJ He has implicated another negro,
Wvstt BelI "a his associate, or rather prin-
cinal. In the robbery. Bell concealed HIM
sejf behind box of corn In the store before
n was closed for the night, and while the
clcrk was out at supper let Ayres in, and
thcv went on with their work. An axe was
nrovjded. with which they intended to kill
the storekeeper il he came upon them. 1t Is
found since that more goods were lost than
was supposed at first. Ayres was heard in
tbc woods next morning practicing with a
njstoI. which he had stolen, by a colored
man named Sears, who went to him. He
found him with boots and other goods,
and the rogue proposed TO share the plum
der with him II he would keep his secret.
The pistol was empty, and they loaded it
nm. after which Sears took it in hand and
ordered him to surrender. Ayres ran and
was fred upon several times, but made his
escape and went to Manchester, where he
was caught. 1t is hoped that the thieves
will get their dues and the neighbordood
will be relieved OF their depredations.
The pink-eye has broken out among the
horses in some places. All OF T. s. Halls
horses, at Gold Hill, have had it. He lost
one. and the rest are recovering. Several
head Of cattle have died in that neighbor-
hood with murrian.
There is getting to be a great scarcity OF
bread in many sections Of our county.
Very few have any corn to spare, and those
who are buyers have but little to pay with.
1t is fered that there will be much suffer-

Railroad Racket.

Chicago, 2.-Commissioner Midsley
and general freight agents of western
roads left last night for New York, &C.
companled by representatives Of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific. To-
morrow western freight agents will meet
IN joint executive committee for the pur-
pose OF considering the present contract
system OF California business, and also
fixing through rates and divisions on the
same for the ensuing year.
New York, 12-Many conflicting
statements were made in the lobby of the
Windsor this morning. Milibank and
Mitchell assert that peace will reign from
to- day, and it is more than likely the
war will terminate at the meeting. Por-
ter Is not so sanguine. Other railroad
men are very reticent. A crisis is near
at hand. Porter disbelieves that Van
derbllt has bought the road.
1t was stated at Commissioner Finks
office that owing to the non-arrival of
prominent California railroad men, the
meeting announced for to-day regarding
California freight will be held to-mor-
row.
W. q. Vanderbilt denies that he lie
interested in the scheme to direct traffic
from New York to Philadelphia over his
line to unite the New YORK Central,
Pennsylvania and Ohio and Reading.
The Impression conveyed was that the
project was new one. About q year
ago Vanderbilt undertook to build q
short lax Of road from Antrim to Will
Transport, Pa, SO as to connect the
Reading road with several lateral
branches running south from the New
FORK Central ard controlled by it, to
Antrim. a contract was made between
this road. known as the Jersey Shore,
Pine Creek and Buffalo road, and the
Central and the Reading, by which the
traffic between the two last named roads
was to be exclusively interchanged
Vanderbilt said, tonight: " is true l
am building the Pine Creek road to con-
meet with the Reading. 1t gives the
Central line to the Pennsylvania coal
fields, where we want to get coal. We
had TO build it because that business was
taken away from US by the Lakswsnna
extension TO Buffalo. It had to be done
to protect our coal interests. As TO the
talk about my wanting to divert business
from New York to Philadelphia, it is too
ridiculous to talk about. Reading peo-
pie were not party to the contract at all.

and passenger agents of all the western
