The mysterious death Of Thomas Is. Neal
nj Rincgold continues TO greatly excite that
usually quiet community. II is now generally
believed that Mr. Neal, who was seventy years
Of age. was murdered and robbed. On Tues
day last he was at Ringgcld station. ana was
drinking heavily He claimed that he had
inst sold his farm in Stokes county. n. G.. md
received a cash payment Of $500. and had a
mortgage for the deferred payments. which
cash and which mortgage he said he had with
him. He left kincgold late in the afternoon To-
90 10 his sons aud that was the last seen OF
him until his dead body was found on Thurs
day under the Sandy Creek railroad bridge.
His coat was of, and was found ON the en-
bapknent, as were also his saddle-bags. his
spectacles. his pocket-book. which WIS
simply, and also numerous papers scattered
about the brow of the bill. One theory Is
that Neal. while intoxicated. fell of the bridge.
and being stunned dragged himself under Ihe
bridge. where he died from exposure. The
other is that he was knocked on the bridge.
then robbed and his body dragged under the
bridge for concealment. There is strong CIR
cumstaptal evidence to support the lattcr
theory. 49,,
The absence of the money. which he claimed
20 have. and the fact that his neck and throat
were black and had finger marks on them Is
strange Suspicion points to no particular
person. and the whole matter is shrouded IN
mystery. There were also bruises on The mouth
as though the deceased had received severe
blow. and there were splOtcbes of blood ON
the empty pocket-book.l

There was an immense crowd in the lobbies

voted down. except the amendment
disqualifying any member Of the Legis-
lature from being member OF the
commission, It having been intimated
that tho chairman Of the committee
was candidate for the position. Some bitter
personal feeling soon became apparent. and .
spirited debate was the result. The bill

THE PETERSBURG RAILROAD.
In the House to-day the question Of rechar-
tering the Petersburg railroad. whose charter
has expired by limitation. was the cause of
considerable discussion. 1t seems that a ma
jority of the stock is owned by
the Wilmington and Weldon rail
road. who have most liberal charter.
The latter road has made some proposition
TO the State. looking TO some concessions, if the
road is rechartered. This has made kind OF
sensation, aud the Legislature. which looks
with suspicion on all such matters, being de
cidedly a farmers Legislature has ordered the
matter TO be investigated. The friends Of the
railroad tried to get the matter reconsidered,
but the motion was voted down. and Joint
committee was appointed to look into 1t.
