State News.

RALEIGH. n. c., April 24-LSpecial. Tho
Railroad Commission to-day announced a
most important action that it has taken since
its labors begun. This was the fixing of pas
senger and freight rates upon all railroads
operating in the State.
The commission has for several days been
examining the tariff tables of the various
roads in operation in the State, and Chair
man Wilson said this evening that it had been
found that North Carolina had suffered very
little harm from the eXOrbitant freight rates,
and that they were as q rule lower than
those of Georgia, where the Railroad Commits
sion has been in existence for twelve years.
A reduction in passenger fare was. however,
deemed advisable. and the commission to-
day decided to place a rate for passenger
traffic on all the roads in the State AZ three
and quarter cents per mile for the first-class
passage. and two and three-quarters for sec
ond class.
CHANGES N FREIGHT TRAFFIC.
Some slight changes were also made in
freight traffic where II was thought to be too
high The new rates will 60 into effect June
lst, and the railroad companies will be noti-
fed 10 make the changes as directed. Any
objections they may wish TO make will be
heard between now and May the 20th and
ger rates in this State have here
tofore been three and half cents
for hr.t-cla.s and three cents for second.
A member Of tho commission said this even
ing that this regulation would probably be
modified In es.es Of small local roads of light
patronage which arc struggling 10 build
themselves up. 1t i. not proposed 10 cause
hardship 10 any road.
The commission TO-DAY also formulated rules
and regulations for the government Of its
action The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion rules were adopted as far rs applicable.
and also those of the railroad Commission of
Georgn.
Mr.. KARyEGkY HLrCrrD PRECEDENT.
The directors OF the North Carolina railroad
met here in the executive Office this after
noon to-elect--a president Of the road Gen
eral r. +. Hoke, who was elected to succeed
Governor Holt, having declined to accept, ",
I. Karnegay. Of Goldsboro, was unanimously
elected president. He is one Of ithe most
prominent business men Of Goldsboro, and
has long been director Of the road.
Governor Holt returned 10 the city to-day
from Graham. where he had been for several
days at the bedside Of his mother, who has
been very i'll. Her condition is reported as
much improved to-day.

wealthy WIDOW Green's suit pismi.sed.

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Mrs. Hettie II. r. Green,
the wealthy New York woman, was again de-
feated today in a case of protracted litigation
which she brought to set aside the sale of sec
ton 81, township of Cicero, Cook county, TO the
Grant Locomotive Works, OF New Jersey, for
something over $4,000. When, under former
decision, she failed TO have this sale set aside,
the present suit was brought on behalf
of her children, she setting forth that they
were not parties TO the former suit they had
not had their say In court. Judge Tuley, of the
circuit court, in the decision rendered today
holds that the children were not properly par
ties TO the suit, and that they could only estab-
lish a claim after their mothers death, and
that they might die before her, 50 that their
claims might never mature The bill was ac-
cordingly dismissed.
