present. This session was an extraor-
dinarly important one, in that Captain
w. e. Hurgins. commander of the
Virginia Oyster Navy, was tried on the
charge preferred by former members, of
the crew of the gunboat Chesapeake, to
the effect that in feeding the crew he
did not use all of the money allowed
by the State for that purpose, and that
he failed to measure UP to hts duty In
patrollinE the oyster grounds at night.
1t will be recalled that all but two OF
the crew left when the Chesapeake, the
flagship of the fleet, entered upon yell
low fever patrol duty during the pres
ence Of that disease in the Soldiers
Home ut HAMPTON.
FAILED TO AGREE.
The board was in session until /
o'clock this morning. but failed to reach
an agreement. A resolution was Offer
ed by one member favorable to Captain
Hudgins, though censuring him mildly.
This was supported by Two members,
while the other two voted against It,
The first vote was taken early in the
evening. and the deadlock continued
unbroken until the board adjourned
When the board meets again to take
up the case, Senator Petit, the member
absent last night, will settle the mat
ter, he holding the balance OF power.
A MEMBERS STATEMENT.
1t was stated by member of the
board that the evidence showed that
Captain Hudgins had not spent the en-
tire ration money allowed, but the
charges that the men were not given
enough to eat-and proper food, were
not substantiated.

ORDER FOR CARS -wILsoN NOV
LEX ING FOR LINE. *

There is no foundation in the rumor
that the Southern Railway will move
their immense shops from Salisbury to
Charlotte. The Southern officials are
satisfied with the present location,
and they have not the remotest idea of
moving them.
Among orders reported for additions
to the rolling stock OF Southern roads
are LOCO box cars of $4,000 pounds Ca
pacity
4 plan is being discussed whereby
the new Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina Railroad. instead of building
Its link through the city of Richmond
TO the Richmond fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad tracks, may use the
Chesapeake and Ohio tracks from
Richmond to Hanover Junction, and
there tap the Richmond, Fredericks-
ours and Potomac.
We hear it said that the Coast Line
officials mean business strictly in cut
ing the line of the Yadkin division of
the Wilmington and Weldon road into
the Coast Line track at parkton. de-
ticcting from Lumber Bridge, saws the
Lumber Bridge News. 1t Will take

Wilson, y. c.. wants the Raleigh and
Great Eastern Railway to go to that
i've town as n competing line. The VIII
son News says:
The line of road sketched would re-
Quirc the laying OF only rorty-five miles
OF track to connect Wilson with the
seanoard's central line at Raleigh
ana TO ensure to Wilson an outlet to
the world and reduce its freight many
thousands of dollars each year. In fact.
careful computation of the freights
handled at this point shows that MT
the slight reduction of 10 cents on the
ivo pounds, the outlay of building the
ROAD would be saved to the town In a
period OF ten years, while the
composition offered by this road
could be safely calculated To
give us n reduction of ut least - cents
