NORFOLK AND WESTERN.

Judge Golf, of the U. s. Circuit
Court, in Richmond yesterday appoint
ed F. J. Kimball and Henry Fink as
receivers of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company. A bond of $780,
600 each was given, and the receiver
ship is now in effect. This action was
taken upon application of the Fidelity
Trust and Safe Deposit Company, Of
Philadelphia, and in answer state
ment is filed by the officers of the com
pany admitting al! the facts, and join
lug in the petition for the receiver. Ii
is stated in the answer that the com.
pany's business was greatly depressed
by the panic, and that it had to borrow
large sums of money to make necessary
repairs; that the company now has a
floating debt of more than a million
dollars, represented by bills payable OF
the railroad company and the Roanoke
Machine Works. The company also
owes its employees about S35O,000.
The answer goes on 20 say that as
soon as the company should default in
its obligations, reditors would become
alarmed and numerous suits would be
brought. To protect the interests of all,
therefore, it joined in the prayer for o
receiver.
This railroads reverses will cause
great regret throughout southwest Vir-
giDia, which it has been largely instru-
mental in building up. 1t has been the
policy of the road to build up towns all
along its lines, and has given encour-
agement to settlers in the new places.
That it has been one of the greatest
benefactors to the industrial interests
Virginia ever had is conceded. The
road was formerly known as the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio, and Ger
eral William Malone was the Presi-
dent. The foreign hondholders pc
titioned for a receiver, and the road
was 50 placed, Upon its reorganiza-
lion it was called the Norfolk and IVES
tern. Dispatches from London pre-
dicted the receivership more than
month ago.
A dispatch from Roanoke, Va, says
"The people Of Roanoke were not in
the least surprised at the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company going into
the hands Of a receiver. Such a move
had been anticipated here for some
time, andit was looked forward to as a
change for the best interests of this city
and this section"

and an agreement was made that no
amendments should be offered until
the important provisions OF the meas
ure should have been disposed OF. The
proposition for the United States to lay
cable to the Hawaiian Islands was
discussed by Messrs. Hale, Gray, Per
kins, Teller, Plat and other Senators
No action was taken. Mr.. Hale, Of
Maine, presented estimates showing
the prospective cost Of the cable to be
about g, 100000. Mr.. Plat, OF Con
necticut, upheld the cable project, and
read early presidential messages of Mr..

for the cable. Mr.. Plat also maintain
ed that Great Britain would build this
cable if the United States did not, thus
linking England and Hawaii by COM

voting on amendments to this bill.
Most Of the amendments were defeated
as rapidly as offered, The committee
on banking and currency sustained two
defeats, two of the amendments pro-
posed By the committee being voted
down. They were the amendment pro-
posing to strike out the section provid-
ing for the payment of customs in gold,
which was allowed to stand amended
so as to make them payable in gold and
silver, and that compelling national
banks to carry their reserve in gold and

Gus knocking at the door, and, on look
ing, found that there were men at the
front door demanding admittance.
We refused to let them in. They
threatened 70 knock the door down
if we did not comply with their
commands. One of the girls went into
an adjoining room and awakened
her brother, young Maynard Petit
grew, who rushed out of his room, and
Selling an old loaded gun, went to the
window of the second story. He rails
ed the window aud peered below, bu,
he could not distinguish how many or
who the parties were. The men, he
said, seemed determined to get in the
house. He reached the gun out of the
window and fired. The gun was load
ed with bird-shot. He heard some one
cry murder and then all was silent.
The young women were screaming in
the house, and Officers Shaner and
Harris. hearing the disturbance, came
around to investigate. By that time
the men had disappeared. Fallwell
managed in some way to get home and

INTERESTING DEclsfoNs-Two very IN

INTERESTING DEcIsfoNs.-rwo very in
teresting decisions were rendered in the
United States Circuit Court in Richmond on
Tuesday They grew out Of the destruction
OF bridges across the Ashley river al Charle5-
c,n during the terrible cyclonic storm of Au
gust. 1898 There was q provision in the
policies that the companies would not be lsble
for damages occ ,sioned by high waters, but
from cyclones and tornadoes In this case the
water rose to great hcightand the wind swept
vessels from their mootings down upon the
bridges and they were destroyed. The 4ues-
ton nj issue was whether the cyclone or the
nigh water did the damage. The lower court
decided that the cyclone did it and tho opin-
ion was affirmed. SO tho insurance will have
to be paid.
