Is 1t the SeabOard2

The Lincoln Journal of last
week has the following with ref
erence to the future of the Car
olina and North Western railroad,
that is of more than ordinary
interest just at this time:
"The Journal is in a position
to say with absolute certainty
that the new owners of the Mar
row Gauge are Gen. r. F. Hoke
and his associates, and that it will
become standard guage road
and part of the great Seaboard
Air Line system.
The road will be extended as
fast as money can build it on to
tennessee via Cranberry. 1t is
understood that the new owners
either have already acquired or
have options on the lumber road
from Lenoir to Wilson's creek.
From this point to Pinola, which
is the present terminus of the
road from Johnston City, Tenn,
via Cranberry, there Is a gap of
only a few miles.
"It will save the S. A. l.. the
cost of hauling it's coal supply
400 miles and at the same time
save the expense of distributing
the coal from Portsmouth, by
making Hamlet, Monroe or Ches
ter the distributing point.-York-
vile Enquirer.

There are thirty cases of what is

thing about the existence of the
yellow fever until today it is said
that the disease made its appear,
ance three days ago. The most
rigid quarantine regulations will
be enforced to prevent the spread
of the malady.
The news has created great ex
element in Newport News, Old

There are 1000 old veterans al

INGERSOL'S BODY
CREMATED.
No Services of Any Kind ut the
.CrematOry-Even the Organ
was Silent.

New York, July 27.-The body
of Col. Robert q. IngersolI was
cremated at Fresh Pond, l.. l., to-
day. The body was placed in
the retort at 1850 and at 2
o'clock all that remained was
ashes. There was no services al
the crematory. Even the organ
which is usually played while a
cremation is going on was silent
This was at the request of the
family.
The body was removed from
WalstOn soon after 9 o'clock and
taken to the Dobbs Ferry Station,
where a funeral car was waiting.
The body was placed in the car
and the members of the family
also entered it. The body was
inclosed in block coffin, which
was unrelieved by handles or
plate. The party reached the
Fresh Pond crematory at 11:30
o'clock. The coffin was not
opened in the Columbarium.
Those present stood around it for
few moments and them it was
carried to the incinerating room.
Mrs. Ingersoll bore up better
than it was expected she would.
When the retort had sufficiently
cooled, the cradle was drawn out
and the alumsoaked sheet was
opened.
The ashes were then placed in
the usual canister and then in
the urn. Both were sealed and
the urn taken in charge by the
Ingersoll party.
The funeral urn is a beautiful
one, wound with laurel leaves
I and berries in bass relief and set
with cypress leaves fashioned OF
green bronze. 1t is oval and set
on red porphyry base that rests
on breast plate. On one side
is the simple inscription "Robt.
q. Ingersoll. On the other, in
French, are these words: "This
urn holds the dust, the heart, the
memory"

of "trust" against the manufac

consolidation can be arranged on

are willing to take it up if it can
be put upon an attractive basis.
"We desire to call your atten
ton to the fact that in order to
meet the competition that has
arisen from the round bale svs.
tenn, it will be necessary for the
congresses referred to to consol-
ldate under one general manage
ment, fully able and capable to
reduce expenses by. improved
methods, more uniform systems
of compressing (aided by the
adoption of the standard box1, to
obtain lower rates of insurance
and secure lower rates of freight

both to you and to us of utilizing
your personal influence in the

plant, but at the same time we
feel confident that unless a con.
solidation can be arranged on an
obviously economical basis, we
may not be able in the long run
to successfully compete with the
round bale systems or with other
new congresses which may come
into the field.

ties 10 make an attempt to do it,
they start at the wrong end. We
endorse every step the Marshal may
take in Kidding the town OF those
who are vsgrants 10 the eyes OF the
laws; but he should carefully study
the intention OF the law before TAX
ing steps which may cause him q
great deal of annoyance and grief
and indignation to the other party.
A few days ago an old citizen, OF GA
years of age, was arrested as "vag,"
by Marshal Brown. The mau has
resided in the island during the past
thirty years and has been promi-
nent mechanic. Now in his old days
he works at his trade whenever call
ed upon, and he lives with friend,
who is in lucrative circumstances and
who wants the old man around his
premises. The alleged "vag" has
never committed any act Of va
grancy. He may or may not draw a
regular salary and may be unable to
prove STEADY employ" But II any
old kamaaina in the same position
is to be called "vsg" by the Mar.
shal why not begin the scoopiug in
OF the class OF men in the Central
Union Church or lock up poor old
blind "dandy" who sits as a beggar
every day next to the police station.
1t is serious matter for an old
man to be charged with vagrancy
and locked up, and in this Instance
we think the temper of the Marshal
got the best Of good judgment.
