Major c. s. Gadsden, President Of
the Northeastern Railroad.

The announcement was MADE yester-
day that Major C. S. Gadsden, of Charles
ton, had been elected to the presidency
Of the Northeastern Railroad, which has
recently been left vacant by the death of
Mr. A. F. Ravenel. Capt. II. Walters.
of the Atlantic Coast Line system, who
gave the information, said that Maj.
Gadsden's election was made last Mou-
day. he also said that Maj. Gadsden
would still hold his present position
as superindent of the Charleston and Savan-
nah railway Company.
1t is but a simple statement of facts to
say that no appointment that could have
been made would have given greater
satisfaction No man in South Carolina
enjoys a greater share of the esteem and
respect of his fellow citizens than does
Mai. C. S. Gadsden. He has wide ex-
perience as railroad man, he possesses
recognized executive ability and he will
discharge the duties of his new Office
with the ability which has characterized
his administration of all other duties
which have heretofore been imposed on
him.
Major Gadsden has been connected
with the Charleston and Savannah Rail-
way company ever since its formation.
Before the war, when the road was first
projected, Major Gsdsden was the engi-
neer in charge of the survey and con-
struction of the line. He held this po-
sition with the company when it was the
Charleston and Savannah Railroad and
subsequently, when i: was the Savannah
and Charleston Road. In 1877 or 1878
Maj Gadsden returned to the roads
emp ploy and became its engineer of mo-
tive power, and then in sbert time he
was made superintendent, position which be
has held ever since.
The officials and employees of both the
Northeastern and the Charleston and
Savannah companies are delighted with
the choice, the former because OF the
happy selection which has been made,
and the latter because an additional
honor has been conferred upon Maj.
Gadsden without removing him from
their road The people of Charleston
will learn of the election of Maj. Gadsden TO
to the presidency of the Northeastern with
unqualified approval.-News and Courier,

Hound over.

The Curby examination was called in Justice Duncan's court this after noon.
 Mrs. Curby, the divorced wife of de- iendant, arrived from San Francisco on the noon coach and was present with her daughter. Curby did not glance at her, although she did at him. He was disconcsrtsd at her presence, and asked that she be ex- cluded from the room.
 District Attorney Staehle was not agreeable to the notion and asked the court that she be allowed to assist him in his official capacity. The court granted the request. G. w. Swain appeared for the de ieudant.
 The affidavit of Miss Curby was read by the defendant and to the court. The complaining witness was then called, and testified that she had been approached by Sam Wsshburn since tue arrest of Curby who brought message from her father to the effect that he would give her all the money she wanted ii she would go away and not appear against him. Wsshburn was called and corrobor- atsd her testimony.
 The justice asked the defendant il he had any testimony to offer, to which negative an-wer was given. Judge Duncan thereupon dwelt upon the enormity of the crime, and bound Curby over to appear before the grand jury with bonds fixed at 5000.
 Mrs. Curby is very much incsnsed against her former husband and will prosecute him unrelentingly for the heinous crime against her daughter While she was married 10 him she was most brutally treated and today carries a broken nose from the effects of one of his beatings.

A Suggestion.

Ii the Democratic central commit tee to meet with the statehood com mittee on March 10t at Phenix will assess each Democratic territorial ot- fee holder in the territory ten per cent of his yearly salary, a sufficient amount could be raised 10 send re- spectacle delegation to Washington, beside proving the sincerity of the party in its desire for statehood.
 This can be done quietly. The sub scriptions will be voluntary, not forced. < simple hint dropped in the postofiice in the shsp, of an envelope addressed to each official containing prepaid envelope addressed to the secretary Of the statehood committee would be sufficient.
 Then let the Republican central committee meet and put through a similar bit of heroic treatment, send in these reminders to would-be office holders under statehood, and the amount will b swelled to G eum sui- ficient to buy half of the wine in Washington.
