RICHMOND AND DANvILLE Il. R.-The
affairs of the Richmond and Danville sys-
tenn continue to command attention in
Wall street, New York. A statement made
public in behalf Of the Richmond and Dan
Vile claims that the contract with the West
Point Terminal, instead of being hard bar
gain, was perfectly just and equitable. 1t
was stated that the Terminal Company
became so seriously involved on account CT
the heavy advances which it was compelled
to make to the Virginia Midland, the AL
lanta and Charlotte and the Charlotte, Col
umbia and Augusta, in order to enable
them to repair their roads and increase
their equipment, that the capitalists most
interested in these properties were obliged
to come to its assistance in their individual
capacity. After careful consideration the
leases of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au-
gusta, Columbia and Greenvile. Western
North Carolina and Virginia Midland to
the Danville Company were decided upon,
and the latter agreed to take up the secur-
tiles of these companies held in the treasury
of the Terminal, ard thus relieve it OF all
its pressing obligations. IF these securities
had been sold they would necessarily have
been sacrificed, and the Richmond and Dan.
vile system disintegrated.

known as Whit Sunday or Whiisuntide, one
of the most important feasts on the church
calendar. 1t commentaries the day when,
rs related in Acts ii, the Holy Ghost de-
soended upon the apostles and bestowed on
them the gift Of tongues. The festival was,
in the early ages, one of the favorite seasons
for administering baptism and a. those
who received it were clothed in white to
symbolic the spiritual purity which bap-
tism confsrs, the day acquired the name
of Whitsuntide. The feast of PentecosJ is

dition of Barney Richards the boy who was
shot by David Tennesson yesterday, remains
unchanged. DR.. Powell probed the wound
in his head yesterday and endravor
ed to locate the position of the
ball, but his efforts proved fruitless.

with bis mind Eighty, though at times, to
all appearances, he becomes conscious, dur.
ing which intervals he discourses nationally.
While in one of his lucid moments yesterday,
the mother of the unfortunate child asked
how Tennesson came to shoot him, to which
query he replied by saying that when he
entered the room where Tenneson was seat
ed the latter pointed the pistol playfully at

EVER TRUEl

Joyous at heart as a summer day
A lassle stands by the meadow way,
And looks at a face that Is very dear,
And wonders IN words that know nothing Of
fear
"Will you be true, love will you be true;
VIII you love me as l love gOHF
VIII love grow stronger az years roll on,
And be truest when youth and beauty have
gomez
VIII you be true, love will you be :true'"
Joyous at heart on their wedding-morn
Husband and wife walk home through the
corn,
And each seems 10 hear the oldtlme song
AS hand In hand, they wander along;
"Will you be true, love! will you be trueY
VIII you love ne ms love y0uF
" Ill love grow stronger as years roll on,
And be truest when youth and beauty have
gomez
VIII you be true, love will you betruei"
Joyous at heart when their hair Is gray
Husband and wife together stray,
And hand clasps hand as thoy pass along
And the heart OF each Is glad with song:
You have been true love! you have been
truel
Loving me well as have loved you
ana Time and change, and good and Ill
Have linked ms closer and closer still
Hearts ever true, love hearts ever true "
