Norfolk and Western Railroad.

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Especial telegram to the D,spatch.I
NORFOLK, VA, January 1.-THE first
annual meeting OF stockholders OF the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company
was held at the company's office in this city
to-day. The meeting was called to order
by President George W. Tyler, and Colo
mel William Lamb was chosen chairman.
The report Of the president showed the
operation Of the road since it has been con-
trolled by the present stockholders, also
the Improvements now being made and
those completed. The action OF the direc-
tors in the matter OF the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia, Shenandoah Valley,
and Ncw-Riycr railroads was confirmed.
\ resolution was adopted recommending
that the directors adopt such measures rs
will in their judgment increase and inn
prove the internal facilities at Norfolk, as
sist in the establishment OF steamship lines
between this and other ports in this coun-
try and Europe, as well as tend to develop
tlle IRON, HlntIdl, anu Ollcl ItSOuCtS VI
this State, and enable them to obtain the
increase Of roling-stock required by the
growing business OF the company.
The directors were instructed to issue
additional shares Of the preferred and COM
mon stock Of the company, for the purpose
OF effecting consolidation, or construct
ing, acquiring, or aiding or controlling
| lines; and a further resolution was adopt
ed authorizing the directors to construct
branch railroads not exceeding twenty
miles each.
The old Board OF Directors was re-
elected by reclamation, and the meeting
adjourned.
In respect to dividends the presidents
report stated that the policy OF the manage
ment had been conservative. 1t has been
felt that it would be unwiSe to commence
the declaration OF dividends until their
regular payment could be assured. The
net earnings OF the company have been al
lowed to accumulate, and they now consti-
tute a reserve fund ample to guarantee that
dividends hereafter can be regularly paid.

RAILWAY BURNED.


BRIDGE on THE CBEsAPEAKE AND OHIO
RAILWAY BURNED.
Especial telegram to the Dispatch.J
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, January 11.--At
1880 O'Clock last night the bridge watch
man at Moore's creek bridge, near the
Charlottesville woollen mills, in passing
over the bridge after the passage Of the
express train going west discovered fire
issuing from the third story Of the fac
tory building OF the Charlottesville WOOL
len mills, and before he could give the
alarm lAe fire burst forth, and in
a few moments had spread itself to every
part Of the building. Seeing that any at
tempt TO save the building was hopeless, he
set about saving the splendid railroad
bridge, which was only about twenty feet
distant. His efforts were futile and the
bridge caught, and both factory and bridge
were entirely consumed. The loss OH the
factory is about $40, O00-insured for the
whole amount. The stock OF goods made
up was not injured, ii bang on
the opposite side OF the railroad
and high bank between. The loss OF the
railroad is about $4,000 or $4,000. About
two hundred people are rendered almost
destitute by the fire. The constructive
losses occasioned will largely increase the
amount named. 1t is not known definitely
whether the company will rebuild. The
railroad company are repairing their dam
age with promptness. The transfer OF pas
sengers will take place as the burnt
bridge, but freight will have to go around
by Orange Courthouse. There is deep
feeling Of sadness peryading the commu-
nifty at the helpless condition Of the opera
tives, many of whom are women without
resources other than their daily labor.
Many Of our businessmen will be seriously
affected by the interruption OF operations.
