BE GONE THREE DA.
DIDN'T GET THEIR MAN.
Marshal Peasants Seeks the Alleged
Moonshiner Anthony.

Deputy Marshal Janney Peasants, with
Mr.. James b. Sowell, of the Richmond
Police Department. returned from Louisa
county yesterday, after vain attempt
to arrest one OF the Anthony family, who
is alleged to be an incorrlgible moon
sinner. For several days the Internal
Revenue Department have limited at the
possibility of a development in this case.
and the suggestion was evidently based
upon the knowledge that Deputy Plea
SAINTS. who has a fine record as a detec-
tive. was 10 bend his energies towards
the capture of Oby Anthony, against
whom is registered the charge of de-
frauding the government of duty on
whiskey distilled.
Messrs. Peasants and Sowell had
kept their proposed raid a profound Sc
cret and confidently expected to sur
prise their man; but the men from Rich
mond were the more astonished. The
two gentlemen were met on their road
to the Anthony home by one OF the
Younger members of the family, and In
vited. with a great show Of cordiality, TO
partake Of such hospitality as they hao
to offer.
"Oby" had gone away, they said. and
all efforts on the part Of the Marshal and
his assistant to discover any trace OF
him at his home or i'm the neighborhood
were fruitless. The search for him was
reluctantly relinquished, and it is uncer-
tain what the Revenue Department will
do IN view Of this second defiance.
Mr. Peasants says ne believes that
people i'm the neighborhood are in league
with the Anthonys, and when any Of
ficer appears the family is warned in
ample time for the alleged guilty ones 10
make good their escape.

NORTH CAROLINA PIE-HUNTERs.
Gudger, PurneII, and Bailey-Rus-
sell DIscredited-That Judgeship.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., March lO.-tSpe-
cial. )-Among the prominent North Caro-
lima Republicans who arrived here to-day
are IL. A. Gudger applicant for the Bra
lillian mission; Mr.. Thomas r. Purnell, OF
Raleigh, applicant for the judgeship Of the
Eastern District, and State-Senator Bal
ley, applicant for the marshalship Of the
Western District. The term OF the incum-
bent expires March Both. and the appoint
ment OF his successor, 1t is said, will be
made in a few days. The leading candi-
date is Mr.. Bailey, and the other three
candidates, 1t Is believed. will combine TO
defeat his appointment.
Gossip among North Carolina Republi-
cans about the judgeship indicates the ap-
polntment OF Mr.. Purnell, but he has
formidable rival in Judge Robinson. Gov
ernor Russell, II is understood, Is entirely
out OF the race. He wants the appoint
ment. and wants 1t badly, but his coali-
ton with the Butler Populists has alien
ated the Republican,. and they protest
against his appointment. The matter has
been submitted TO the President, and there
IL no longer a probs ability OF his appoint
ment. Leading Republicans here say that
the Governor is thoroughly discredited by
the great majority OF Republicans In the
state and out OF the present conditions
they expect there will grow new party
slignments. which will identify the dover
nor with the Butler faction OF the Populist
party.

NORFOLK, VA, March i0.-(Special.)-
The beginning OF the end Of the famous
litigation growing out OF the cut-rate
made by the Seaboard Airline, and met
by all other southern lines. last fall. was
commenced before Judge Hughes. in the
United States Court, to-day, when a mo-
ton was made to dissolve his injunction.
The style Of the suit is the Safe-Deposit
and Trust Company, Of Baltimore,
against the Seaboard Airline. Norfolk
and Carolina Railroad Company, Will
mington and Weldon Railroad Company,
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road Company, Florence Railway Com
pany, Northeastern Railway Company
Manchester and Augusta Railroad Com
pany, Southern Railway Company. and
II. S. Halnes, commissioner of the South
ern States Freight Association.
This suit was instituted by holders Of
the securities of these lines, who feared
that a continued rate-war would affect
the stability OF their holdings.
IF CONFIRMED.
Several other injunctions have been set
aside, and Judge Hughes's mandate is
the only thing which prevents the roads
from again slashing rates. Eminent
counsel is i'm attendance. If the injunc-
ton is confirmed, IT means a stop TO all
future rate-wars i'm the South; but II II
is set aside. transportation men are fear
full of further slashing.
After brief argument this morning
the case went over until tomorrow.

this morning that the monitor was steam

captain signalled that her machinery was
disabled and that she could not make
sufficient steam. The life-savers remain

tertained lest the Columbia and her con-
sort may be in danger along the treach-
