TO SELL TOTHE n. & ".
A Committee OF Conference Named by
the Richmond Terminal Directors.

The New York Tribune OF Yesterday saws ::
The proposed sale 10 the Norfolk and Vest
ern railroad Of the control OF the East Ten
nessee. Virginia and Georgia. which has
been held by the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Company, may be completed IN a
few DAYS. At q meeting Yesterday the d.
reciors OF the TeTmnal Company appointed
"A committee OF three. consisting OF George
;. Scott, Gen raj Samuel Thom1s. and VIII
liam s. Chisholm, 10 confer with similar
committee on the part OF the Norfolk and
Western. A preliminary conference was
held aierward with President kimball, who
Will call meeting Of bis board to-day. II Is
understood that an adjustment OF details IS
the only obstacle TO the completion OF the
bargain. A prominent officer Of the Rich
mond Terminal Company said:
There was no vote taken IN the board,
but from the discussion preceding the selec-
ton Of The committee judged that the d.
rectOrs would sell the East Tennessee stock
at 10. There has been no definite offer by
the Norfolk and Western, hut am informed
that the company will pay that price for our
stock. II may be that the bargain will fsll
through, hut al present am OF the opposite
opinion
The new alliance Il considered n natural
one on geographical principles, and It is
suspected IN Wall street that the amiabilly
Of the Redmond Terminal and East 1ennes-
see companies is parsly the result OF threats
by the Norfolk sud Western TO build cXten.
sions that would make virtually a parallel
noe 10 the East Tennessee. Other important
considerations have influenced the East Ten
ressee Interests In the board. The earnings
have been sufficient to pay per cent diyl-
bends on the controlling stock, but Last wear
only per cent was declared, Tor the evident
purpose OF extending tie control another
year. It has been held by the courts that
Ibis was merely an evasion OF the re0rgsniza-
ton provisions, and there is good reason for
the belief that the East Tennessee does not
wish 10 defend similar action on the part OF
It's Junior securities. 1t is considered pro-
bable, therefore, that the sale will he accom-
plished The meeting Of the directors OF
the East Tennessee Company to declare a
dividend was further postponed on account
Of the negotiations concerning the control
OF their pooperiy.

Mrs. Clcrelana,. s1oaestr.

A Washington special says: A fresh Hts
tration OF Mrs. Cleycl2nd's tact aud m0desty
is the latest subject OF gossip In society cir
cles here. On Monday evening OF last week
a concert was given by a numrer OF local
amateurs for the benefit OF Miss Hallowel, a
crippled young woman residing 10 the Dis
trict. The concert was given in an unpre-
tentious little hall connected with WIZARDS
Hotel. 1t was not in any sense q society af-
fair.
There was no long list OF lady patroresses
socially prominent in the gay world, nor was
the audience anything more than rlaiu,
respectable. everyday crowd, who had paid
their money and we're there to get the benefit
OF it. In some way Miss Hslloweli bad
secured PROMISE from Mrs. Cleveland that
she would attend the performance. Re-
quests oi this nature are declined by her q
score OF times week. In this case, how
ever, her sympalhies were enlisted. and she
gave the required promise, although to do
50 necesststed a buried drive In from Oak
view after an unusually late dinner.
She entered the hall quietly aud took aseat
close 10 the door. That she was not recsg-
nized even by those nearest her was in part
due to their limited knowledge Of her ap-
peaTance, and in part to the p'ainness and
modesty OF her attire. When the perform
ance concluded she quietly left the ball. and
entering her carriage drove back to her
country home without soul beyond the
ushers and the beneficiary OF the concert
being aware OF her presence.
