A group of southern representatives
talked national politics in animated tones
in the rotunda Of the Metropolitan Hotel

Abbott, Of the Fort Worth (Iex.> district,

men IN the country, and made the, finest
record OF any official connected with

q superb nomination.

APECULlAR RAILROAD CASE.
The Branches of the Wilmington Wei
don X. X. Co. Liable to Taxation.
rcraci,i foIa0raua IN the nisDetch.

y
RALEIGH, n. c., January 23.-There was
argued at Chambers last month before
Judge Conner q case Of peculiar interest,
The Wilmington and Weldon railway
claims under its original charter entire ex-
emption from taxation, both of the main
line and branches. The Railway Commis;-
sion did not believe tax could be secured
on the nam line. but held to the Wow
that the branches were liable 10 taxation.
Judge Conner has announced his deci-
SION in the case, which make the branches
liable to taxation. The assessed value OF
the branches approximates two millions
of dollars, on which the State and county
taxes will be about twenty thousand dol,
lars. OF course the railway company will
appeal, and will carry the case to the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The Railway Commissioners feel very Sc
cure in their position as to their liability.
