4 RAILROAD RUMoP
That Disturbs the People Of Tnzo-
well and Vicinity

IAHEWELL, VA, March 2G.-(Spe-
eial.)-Yesterday morning brought ru-
NOR that disturbs the people Of this
section very much. 1t Is said that the
authorities Of the Norfolk and Western
railway viii withdraw from the Clinch-
valley Division the little accommodation
IN the way Of passenger traffic which
we have enjoyed since it's construction:
ana II is also rumored that they will
Withdraw two passenger trains from the
New-River and Kenova Division
We now have only one passenger train
each way daily. and the change would
relegate us, | presume. to the old mode
OF travel. If this rumor IS true, the
road IS not acting fairly and justly to-
ward this people. and to this section of
country where these lines penetrate. l
venture the assertion that three-fOurths
OF the freight traffic OF the Norfolk and
Western passes over these two lines. and
that two-thirds Of their freight orgi-
mates along the Clinch-Valley Division
and the New-River and KenOva Division.
The coal-helds at the western rermi-
nus and along the line Of the Clinch-
Valley Division are simply inexhausti-
bic as a source Of freight. Every depot
and siding along the Clinch-Valley has
Der, which are simply surprising as TO
quantity and quality.
Tazewell and Russell counties alone
ship annually over its road more ex-
port cattle for the Liverpool market
than any ten adjacent counties on the
main line of the Norfolk and Western
railroad, and the shipment Of lambs and
baled hay are items Of no small interest.
The Clinch-Valley Division beginning
at Graham, traverses one of the richest
valleys in the State for a distance or
about 100 miles, connecting at Norton
with the Louisville and Nashville sys-
TEN. and the freight shipment from TINS
valley in quantity and variety Is GER
tainly not surpassed by any other terri
tory on the same extent in the South.
unless il be on the other division toward
Kenova. where IT Is also rumored the
company intend Withdrawing two pas
senger trains.
If the trains are cut off. there Will
be widespread dissatisfaction among the
patrons Of this road all over this sec
ton II might be answered by the Nor
folk and Western authorities that they
are managing the railroad for the In
terests of the corporation. and not to
please the public; but corporations are
creatures of the public through their
representatives; and II strikes me II TINS
rumor be true, and any future legisla-
ton Is desired by this corporation, our
public representatives in the legislative
hall ought to call for reciprocal relations
between this corporation and the public.

NEW YORK, March 26.-There was
renewed depression at the Stock Ex-
change to-day, speculation having been
dominated by the decision recently rem
dered by the Supreme Court in the
Transmissouri Freight Association case,
and the summary disruption of various
western railway pools since. Many
holders of stocks were disheartened by
this condition of affairs, and sold out,
with the result Of bringing about de-
cline of IL to per cent. The railways
and industrials suffered alike, the heavi-
est declines having been in the Changers,
Kansas and Texas preferred, New York
Central, Big Four, Sugar, Tobacco, Gene
raj Electric, and Omaha. The down.
ward movement was accelerated by the
execution OF stop-orders. In the case
of Sugar, which dropped / IL, 10 ITO 81,
the pressure to sell was due mainly TO
the definite announcement that Claus
Doscher, the wealthy sugar rehner, had
decided to build another refinery with
capacity of $500 TO 500 barrels per day.
At the same time ii was clearly init
mated by those interested that the rela-
lions existing between them and the
American Sugar Refining Company are,
to say the least, somewhat strained.
During the afternoon supporting orders
appeared, and rally Of Ia to l SO per
cent. ensued, the Improvement being
aided by more favorable traffic returns
for the third week of March. Toward
the close Tobacco broke suddenly TO
