The End In Sight.
From the Concord Standard

From the Concord Standard
DIR. r. S. Young, on his return from
a trip to Northern cities, met up with
Secretary Hoke Smith, of the Interior
Department. Mr.. Smith, in speaking
OF public matters. etc, gave out that
in his opinion the present panic is
nearing an END. Thai In thirty days
it will have disappeared. The reason
for this is that the foreign credit of
this country Is such that our bonds
are sought, and whenever forces in
this country see that they cannot die
tate and get control OF the issue OF
bonds that the necessity for such will
cease

N. s w. REoEIvERsHIP.
The Benefits Will be Greater Than the
Disadvantages.

The appointment of receivers for
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
promises to work no serious change in
the business of the road or the sections
trayersed by the main line and its
branches, says the Roanoke Times.
On the other hand, the general opin-
ion seems to be that the benefits to be
derived from the change will be great
er than the dis advantages. The road
will now be operated without the bur-
dens of past obligations and solely for
the purpose OF meeting expenses while
the affairs of the company are being
adjusted. The newly appointed re-
ceivers have issued circular an
nouncing that ne changes will be
made In the officers, agents and en-
ployes of the road, and that w. @.
Mcdowell has been retained to collect
and receive all moneys due the COM
pany, settle all traffic balance and pay
all claims fer wages, materials and
supplies incurred by the company.

Superintendent Handy, Of the Win
ston-Salem division of the Norfolk 81
! Western Railroad, received telegram
last week that Judge Gotf, sitting
in the United States Circuit Court, at
Richmond appointed +. j. Kim ball
and Henry Fink, receivers Of the road.
The suit was instituted by several
creditors and stockholders OF the Com
pany.
The bill sets forth that the complain
ant Philadelphia corporation are
trustees under the mortgage deeds Of
trust of the defendant, company, as
follows: General mortgage, New
River division, first mortgage, i'm
lrovement and extension mortgage,
adjustment mortgage. and Cllnch
Valley division mortgage. Also, that,
under these mortgages, bonds TO the
amount Of SIS, ,503. 600 have been issued.
INTEREST IN OTHER PROPERTIES.
Aside from the value OF the main
system. the railroad company are
large stockholders in the Old DOmin-
lou steamship Company, the Roanoke
Machine Works, the Columbus Con-
nection Company, the POcahontas
Company, the Virginia Company, the
Lynchburg s. Durham Railroad Com
pany, and the Roanoke and Southern
Railway Company.
The suit for the receivership was in
stituted in view of anticipated de-
fault of interest upon about Sl7, ,O0O,-
COO Of bonds, and of the fact that cur
rent expenses amount to about half a
million dollars, and there is floating
debt on the road OF over one million
dollars.
The company owes its employees
about $3.50, 600.
THE COMPANY's STATEMENT.
In the statement sent out last night
from the COmpany'S office at Phila-
delpbie, in reference to the receiver
ship proceedings, appears the follow
ing:
THE property OF the company is in
excellent condition, but owing to the
great depression in the coal and iron
industries, and the unprecedentedly
low rates prevailing, the net earnings
II the company for the past two years
have been insufficient to meet its fixed
charges, and this has so seriously af-
fected the credit of the company that
il was thought impossible for it to
continue its operations without some
readjustment of its liabilities.
"A full statement of the affairs of
the company VIII be issued In the
course Of few days

A telegram from Roanoke, Va,
says:
The Norfolk s. Western Railroad
officials at the general offices in this
city were notified this afternoon OF
the appointment of receivers at Rich
mond and that the road had been
turned over TO the receivers. Theywere
instructed to proceed with the opera
tion as heretofore and while it is not
known what will be done, the opinion
prevails among the officials in this
city that no great changes will be
made in the operating force.
AS this city is the ctnter Of the
system and the location of the general
offices and shops of the road, 1t is
largely dependent upon the Norfolk &
Western road and there was much in
terest in the receivership manifested
by the people here. The result is by
no means a surprise and there Is a
general disposition to accept it cneer-
fully. 1t Is not believed that any
Roanoke interest will be seriously
affected and that the result will ulti-
mately be beneficial, as 1t was well
known that the road would have to go
through the usual process of re-organi.
Zation.
