run as the candidate Of the Peoples party
for Governor. Mann Page, as a staff officer
Of old Jubal during the war, wouldn't have
hesitated to lead a "forlorn hope" dis

Persons interested in the Norfolk aud
Western h. r. were much surprised few
days ago by the announcement that Judge
Jackson Of the L. 5 Court at Charleston
had placed that road in the hands Of tenn
porary receiver. President Kimball says;
Regarding legal proceedings against the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Company at
Charleston w Va, brought by the assignee
of Thompson Bros, contractors, against our
company: We have had no notice whatso-
ever Of any suit having been brought
against our company. Thompson Bros.
had contracted upon our Ohio extension
and at the completion of their work our
company owed them about S29, 00O but be-
fore settlement could be made Thomson
Bros. failed and made an assignment, when
some 20 of their creditors attached the
amount due them in our hands, thus prevent
ing our company from making settlement
with Thompson Bros. Our company has
no knowledge whatever of the proceedings
taken at Charleston, except as appeared IN
the newspaper reports.
"Our company is prepared at any time to
/ deposit the amount in dispute with the
court for distribution. As a matter of fact,
out Of a total expenditure of $1,000 900
upon the Ohio extension. the amount still
due contractors is but $4,000, which in
cludes the $4,000 due Thompson Bros"
The claim has since been settled and the
order for a temporary receiver vacated.
