A RAILWAY FIGHT.
Yesterdays Great Sensation at Dur
ham-- More Developments Expected.
CHRONICLE BUREAU.

AHRONICLE BUREAU,
DURHAM, n. c., April %, 1890.
The fight between the Richmond &
Danvillo and the Durham l. Northern
railroads bas occupied the attention of
our people to-day. The battle ground,
which is in front of e. l. Lyons fac
tory, has been crowded with spectators
since dawn. Two attempts were made
by the Richmond & Danville party early
this morning to tear up the iron Of the
Durham & Northern. Both times the
leaders were arrested. They were tried
before his Honor, Mayor Christian, at 10
O'Clock. He decided that they could
no1 molest the track which was situated
on Peabody street, because the street
belongs to the town, and the town
granted the right-of-way to the Dur
ham & Northern.
The R. & D. authorities then repaired
to the point where the D. & N. track
comes into Peabody street. This point
was promptly covered by box cars and
flats bV the -. & n. men.
Since then the object of the r. Il D.
parties seems to be to connect with their
opponents line, and by running one of
their engines over, remove the offending
cars. They are now busily engaged in
making false works, over which they in
tend to run their tracks. The end of the
fight will probably come tonight. The
anxiety is evinced as to what will be the
end of the fight.
The meeting in the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms
was called to reorganize the Common
wealth club. The following officers
were elected: J. S. Carr, president; w.
w. Fuller, first vice president; B. l..
Dulse, second vice president; R. E. Lyon,
treasurer; F. L. Fuller, secretary; S. T.
Morgan, corresponding secretary Next

THE F. 1. l.. l.
The Company WithdraWs From the
state Guard.

The Company Withdraws From the
State Guard.
Especial to STATE CHRoNICLE.l
FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., April 22.-The
Fayetteville Light Infantry has with
drawn from the State Guard. The rea
son for so doing Was two-fold
FIRST: To avoid complying with the
executive order that all companies in
the State Guard should adopt the regu-
lation uniform.
second: That the company might have
the advantages and privileges of chapter
IA, of the acts OF 1919, which has special
reference to the company, and which
provides that when certain number of
companies are organized they shall be
formed into corps to be denominated
the Fayetteville Corps of Artillery aud
that the same shall be commanded by
major.
The existing law with reference to
uniforms does not prevent any company
from adopting special uniform of its
own for local purposes, but provides
that all companies that shall go into camp
at the annual State encampment shall be
uniformed alike. The withdrawal OF
the company from the State Guard will
deprive it of the State appropriation
for maintaining and keeping up the
militia.
The company is one of the oldest and
most noted for excellence in the State,
! and during the past century the E [
L. L has, time and again, given North
Carolina reason to be proud of hel
militia.

The Irish Land Purchase Bill.
IBy United Press.

DUBLIN, April 22.-The Freeman's
Journal, commenting on the proceed
ings in the House of Commons, yester-
day, with regard to the Irish land pur-
chase bill, says it is certainly curious to
find Mr.. Parnell proposing a scheme
whereby landlordism may be retained in
ireland.
The Dublin Express says that coming
from such quarter, Mr.. Parnell's pro-
posal is most remarkable one, and as
serts that it is the equivalent of the prin.
ciple for which the landlords vainly con-
tended before the passage of the land
act of 1881.

events of national Importance have
fixed the attention of the people as never
before upon the extent and power of the
secret lodge system. The Cronin mur-
der in Chicago, the investigation CT the
Mormon oaths in Salt Lake City, and
uprising against Jesuite intrigue in Bos-

a new revelation to multitudes Of the
danger lurking in this system.

There is no doubt about it, he is

will be elected. The farmers find
in Mr.. Nesbitt a true friend and CO.

theoretical pretender. His success
as q farmer is known by his neigh
bors. He is in sympathy with their
plans and purposes, and if honored
by election he will do something
that will help them, or he will know
the reason why. His friends
throughout the state are at work
for him. His home people are solid
for him, and he will be elected to a
certainty.
