Under the head Wanted Back in
Richmond q local article appeared in
Yesterday. mornings National RePHdh-
Can. IL is as follows: 1t was cur
rently reported in Richmond on SatGr-
day last that General I. NJ. Logan's
Richmond and Dansille railroad syndi-
cate now own over %. 600 shares OF the
stock of that road, which is 4,OOO less
than a controlling interest. Mr.. Rock
afeller. the millionaire Of Standard-Oll
fame, is said to be largely interested
on Logan's side. The General and
his friends at one time owned
more than controlling interest in the
road. but several years ago they sold
out. The next annual meeting oil the
stockholders will be held at Richmond
in December when, il sreported, pro-
position will be made TO increase the
number Of shares Of stock from $4,000
70 1000. The impression now is
that, whether the Logan interest obtains
a controlling interest in the road OF not,
An effort will be made 20 have the Offices
recently removed TO this city carried
back TO Richmond again.

So YOU see there are two distinct lines

this fire property and removed It's Of

a terminal point, AMI there arc adj

The road has not moved many Of its
EMPLOYEES from Richmond, where it
has made large investments, and has
important interests"
Major Randolph concurred IN what
was said, and added some observations
OF his own. Finslly they said that
December would tell whether there was
any truth in the reports. 1t was not
probable that any accurate information
would be obtained sooner.
The various offices Of the road ara
being placed in condition for business.
Most Of the important ones, such as the
presidents, the general MANAGERS,
snd the telegraph office, are already oc-
cupied. There is still the clatter OF
workmen ard the smell Of paint about
the handsome building.

discreditable as the one reported. lie
