Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, bringing
the discussion back to the deficiency
bill, agreed with the statement in the
report Of the Committee on Appropria-
tons that the deficiency estimates
should be carefully scanned. He attri-
buted, however, the constant recurrence
of Deficiencies to the tendency of Con-
gress to use its own Judgment in making
appropriations rather than to rely on
the estimates furnished by the depart
ments. instead of meeting fairly and
squarely the necessary expense of the
Government, the House had adopted a
policy (Which was neither wise nor eco

making up the deficiency thereafter.
This had become the established policy

STANTON, February il, 1888.
Intelligence has been received here OF
the death of Frank Finks, q young man
whose early home was in Waynesboro',
Augusta county. He was instantly killed
at Balhnger, Texas, one day last week.
The particulars of the tragedy are not
known here, but something like the fol-
lowing occurred: Finks was conductor
on the Santa Fe railroad and man
named Bailey was the telegraph operator
at Ballinger, where Finks in his ran came
In contact with Bailey. Some hurried
misunderstanding occurred between
them, and Bailey shot Finks, killing him
instantly. Bailey fed aud was pursued.
The deceased was a son OF the late J.
b. Finks, long a well-known passenger
conductor on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad. Mrs II. G. Eubank, of the

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. II, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
As the best means of reaching por-
ton of my district which is interested in
the construction of the Virginia and
North Carolina railroad, [ ask a short
space in your paper. Knowing that there
was strong feeling there against tine
extension OF the charter asked for by the
company L did all | could in opposition
to it before the Senate Committee on
Roads-that is, TO the extension without
some guarantee of good faith on the part
of the company. This the committee
declined to require of them, and recon-
mended the extension. TWAS never my
purpose or desire TO do anything that
would impede the company, bat simply
to have engTatted upon the extended
charter such a provision as would stimu
late the company toresume its operations
at an early day or else forfeit its charter.
In framing this provision | regarded it
as but justice to the company that it
should have been framed with reference
to and dependent upon the final termi-
nation of suit now pending in the
Chancery Court Of Richmond by the city
of Petersburg against the company.
This / submitted 10 the legal representa-
tives of Petersburg and the company,
and by them accepted.
do Iot hesitate to say to the friends
of the road that in my Judgment the
charter will not be forfeited, but that the
road will be built. s. Z. READ.
