is THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE
DOOMED?

Men who ought to know say that in the
next ten years every steam locomotive
will disappear completely. and electric
motors will supplant them. They also
say that with the new motive power
trains will rush along at a minimum
speed of 100 miles an hour. This will
prove great blessing to those who wish
to go quickly from one point to another
but no more than Hostetter's Stomach

A. AND n. G. HEARING.
Matter Postponed to Allow of Further
Investigation.

The Senate Committee on Corpora
tons had before it yesterday afternoon
the bill to authorize the sale of the
States interest in the A. and n. G. Rail-
road for 100000. Messrs. w. j. Ed
wards, w. G. Maxwell and c. NJ. Bus
bee appeared to urge favorable report
on the bill.
Mr.. Busbee said the State had always
been anxious to sell. He did not think
the road should be sold for a mere
monetary consideration. The interests
of private stockholders were to be pro-
tected. There was no other company
behind the bid.
Dividends had been declared that
should have gone to improve the physical
condition of the road. The proposition
to extend the road would be of meal
culable benefit to the Western part of
the State. The bid was all the road
was worth apart from the agreement
to extend the road.
The valuation of the road was only
$4,000 a mile while the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley was valued at $1,000 a
mile. The gross earnings were $4,000
a year: the dividend was 2 per cent
Mr.. w. J. Edwards said after many
failures he had succeeded in getting S3,-
100000 for the extensaa of the road.
The 100 miles of new road would in a
few years give the State $5,000,000 more
of taxable property which would he
equivalent to paying 100000 for the
road.
As to private stockholders the COM
pany was prepared to give guarantee
backed by United States bonds that
they would be protected
As TO the extension of the road it
would be guaranteed by 100000 extra,
and that the road should not be CON
solidated with any competing lines or op-
Grated in connection with them. Ar
engagements were already made to build
40 miles of extension. Bids were in
vited from other companies under the
conditions prescribed.
Senator Daniels said he thought the
other side of the proposition should be
heard He felt that further information
was needed.
The matter was postponed to permit
of the examination of witnesses ac-
ouainted with the condition of the road
A hearing will be had to-day if the
necessary information can be secured
otherwise on Monday.
