B0ndsmen and trustees Talk.

The school board and the bonds.
men OF Contractor Sheridan held a
meeting Saturday evening last and
attempted to reach settlement upon
the matter of tie new school house,
but were unsuccessful. As noted some
time ago the amount demanded OF
the bondsmen by the board ia So
BOG. 26-$SA of which is for salary paid
Trustee Jackson as superintendent.
This charge the bondsmen positively
refused to pay, holding that it was a
matter outside of the contract and
unauthorized by the contractor or
themselves. They inquired of the
board whether they would settle
upon a basis OF S2,062.26 1.-THE alleged
access paid. less Jackson's bill OF
$S44l but the board did not accept it.
Since the meeting Contractor Sheri-
dan has prepared and presented a
bill against the board and refuses to
agree to any settlement until this bill
is met. The prospect is not promis-
ing for the use OF the new building
this winter. nor until several hundred
dollars of the taxpayers money has
been covered into the hands OF at
torneys, and in the meantime Trustee
Jackson is receiving rent for q build
ing not fit for a stable and which is
also used as an adjunct to a saloon.
Just how long the taxpayers and
parents OF children in this district
will tolerate such management is
doubtful.

WEATHERS OUT OF MARKET.
Partner Notified Him That He Must
Namoose the Ranch.

The people of Raleigh declined to
deal with man who dealt in spoiled
meats, and business got slack with
John W. Weathers, who now stands
twice indicted in Wake Superior court
So Weathers yesterday did what he
ought To have done long ago-relieved the
market house of his presence 1t was
discovered yesterday morning that
Neathers held no lease on the stall he
occupied but that the lease was made
out in the name of NJ. NJ Perry. a
respectable and well-to-do farmer living
near this city. Perry rented the STALL
principally. he says. to dispose of the
products of his own farm, and put
Weathers in charge, as a partner, to
manage the business.
The investigation before the mayor
Thursday revealed such state of af-
fairs that Perry at once notified Wealth
ers that the partnership was at an end
and he must vacate. Yesterday was
spent closing up the business and today
the stall opens under the management
OF Perry alone.
The lease of stalls in the market being
made out by the month, the city au-
thorities had given notice that the lease
under which Weathers held would not
be renewed

WRECK NEAR METHOD.
a Number of Freight Cars Deraied and
the Tracks Blocked. 400

Yesterday near noon, at siding about
mile beyond Method. there was an
ugly freight train wreck on the South
ern.
Several cars were derailed, some of
them thrown ON the Seaboard rack,
but no one was seriously injured. One
of the train hands, a white man, had
his ankle sprained. No one else was
hurt. 1t seems that where the tracks
of the Southern divulge into a cross siie
track about mile from Method "a
freight train was running on the main
track when two box cars on he other
track broke loose and plunged swiftly
down the track into the passing train
striking it squarely in the side. About
eight or ten cars were derailgd and
piled ND on the truck aaa
The first news received here was the
ordering of the Seaboard Air Line
wrecking train to Method to clear their
track. This train with Il wrecking train
left shortly after O'clock. The wreck
was cleared away in time for the after
noon passenger trains to pass after a
short delay.
