night an important case was argued At chambers
before Judge Counor. It appears that the Glen
dun and Gulf railroad 10 Chatham county has
seized the right Of way Of the Raleigh and West

way, and graded along IL for several miles. The
Raleigh and Western shows deeds TO the right Of
way. and as soou as It gets possession will con-
struct Its own line. The Egypt Coal Company
has just been recognized, Its capital stock IN
creased 10 100000, and improvements costing
sl05,O00 are now in progress at lie mines.

Alliance and elector on the Ihird-party tlchet,
wanted TO issue an address % the Allance-.hls
70 be- signed by him and BY the comnitLeeLou'
the latter swore no such thing should Dc done.
Butler, Of course, wanted TO work this IN his own
interest. There was another sensation AZ tne
meeting. Marion Butler was the only deleghte
10 the National Alliance at hsnphis, uds Oono
Wilson and J. l.. Ramsay, whO Ike butier' are
rabid Populists, went also. and vouchers Tor
their travelling expenses. &c, were presented
70 the Alliance Executive Committee: Iney
were Dromptly dsallOwed. The charge IL made
against the secretary OF the Alliance that he has
used the position TO directly further the lhlru-
party work, and that he used lists OF names OF
members IN this double way.
