Believed to he Certain the H., T.. & G.
VIII Take such Action.

1t Is now practically certain that the
shops Of the Richmond, Petersburg and
Carolina railroad will be located near
this city.
This statement is not Official but Is
regarded as authoritative. Owing TO the
fact that the land upon which il IS pro-
posed to locate the shops has not been
secured. there can be no direct statement
obtained from those in position to speak
with authority.
II is understood that the shops will be
located not far beyond the Manchester
corporation line. IL is a.so stated that
efforts to secure the land by purchase
have been unsuccessful, and that con-
demnation proceedings will probably be
instituted next week.
The establishment of the shops Of the
company here means great deal for the
city, as several hundred hands will be
employed II is not probable that the
shops now located at Portsmouth will be
removed here, though a contrary predic-
ton has been made.
