negotiation for months. 1T was done so
quietly that nothing was learned of 1t
until after the final acceptance Of the
proposition offered by the allied inter

Disidand to be Declared.

SUNDAYS Richmond Dispatch said:
1T was stated last night upon exec
lent authority that at the meeting Of
f1e directors Of the Chesapeake & Ohio
tu'jiroal in August a dividend upon tho
capital stock would be declared.
AT the directors meeting last wear
there was a strong senuiment in favor
of declaring dividend. but this was
t,verruIc.l. 1t was thought likely that
g. dividend could not be maintained.
AIT the close of the fiscal year. June
80. 1898. there was a surplus on hand
Of about $Ga0.OO0. or per cent. of the
capital stock. The business OF the road
during the past twelve months has had
some ups and downs so far as receipts
are concerned, but on the whole, the
year has been a fine one. 1t is believed
the, surplus from The tiscai year Just
ended Will be shown 10 be much larger,
proportionately. than that or last year.
Railroad men are betting that when
ffls Chesapeake & Ohio directors meet
next month the news Of the consolida-
zion OF the Chesapeake &: Ohio and Big
-Four will be announced.

MARINE MATTERS.
Settlement of the Essex Holt Case. Estab
lfAhed a. Precedent

1fAhed Precedent.
AT last the fluch-talked OF suit Of
Essex IlolEz. colored, against the In
d,7lni Steamship Company, Of England,
mas been settled and according to the
declslnn OF the court the Newport News
lonGshortnnan will get $1,000
. The suit. 1T will be remembered was
brought last November in the United
States Court al Norfolk. before Judge
Waddili. the plaintiff asking for $40. 0O9
damages for injuries received While at
work ON the steamer of the company
that was loading at the piers in this
city on the 18th Of January 1898.
Holtz received his injuries by the
breaking of 4 ladder which threw him
into the hold of the big vessel, breaking
his left leg and dislocating several
ribs. For a long time he was unfit
for work and upon advice from attor-
neys Burruss & Bro. Of Norfolk. and
w. H. Arlington. colored attorney OF
this city, he brought the suit.
The case was one of the most inter
es'ting that had been entered in the
court at Norfolk for a long time ana
the eyes OF many of the attorneys in
this section of the country we're turn
ed toward the settlement.
Y Under the circumstances in the casa
1T was possible for the plaintiff To suo
the steamship company and the steve
dore. who had charge Of the aiding of
the vessel. and accordingly a suit for
lo.0o0 damages was also instituted
against w. ]. Donnell This suit is mi,
pending. but will probably be dismiss
ed. since the settlement of the other
suit in favor Of the plaintifr.
LMessrs. Hughes and Little. of Nor
iolk. represented the English componx,
IN the suit and at evenly Doint tyhev
1ought the attorneys for Holtz. The ar
guments advanced by the LAWYERS on
the two sides Of the case were strone
and the final decision of the court in
the matter was watched with tbe
greatest interest.
IT 1s understood that the plaintiff ia
entirely satisfied with the decision and
