a Suggestion That the Seaboard May
Get the Lenpir Marrow Gauge
Newton ENTERPRISE. J

There seems to be Il considerable stir
am(fng the stockholders and officers of
the narrow gauge railroad. The new
company seeking line from Cranberry
to Wilmington would like to have the
road from Lenoir to Lincolnton, and
Change it to Il broad gauge. But the
narrow gauge people will likely insist
ON selling the whole lime from Chester
up, or not at all. We hope the new
company will get the road. 1t will co
operate with the Seaboard, and would
give this section the advantage of two
great competing lines.

From the New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
Russell Sage returned yesterday from
his home at 500 Fifth avenue, after four
days stay at his place at Trvington-on-
the-Hudson. Mrs. Sage, who returned
with him, found a letter awaiting her.
She read it, and then handed it to her
husband with the remark that she thought
it was very funny. The letter was as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Russell Sage: Dear Madam-I
have some very important information to
give you Immediately. 1t concerns the life
of one of the members of your family and
one of the most important members.
cannot here give you the full details, but
l assure you that the life of that person
hangs on a thread and that | must see
you in person, and in person only, to COM
municate the fun particulars. No time
must he lost. Too much has been wasted
already, and the catastrophe may fan at
any moment. / have called at your house
three times within the past three days
but your survant has stubbornly refused
TO give me any information OF your where
abouts and l was therefore compelled 10
send this letter as a last resort.
ITO show you that | am not a crank or
an eccentric, l enclose my business circu-
lar and also my card. / am a business
man, ana TINS Is purely business com
munication urging you to act and act
quickly when you have received il. You
had better teH Mr.. Sage TO telegraph me
at my address Immediately. Don't lose
any time. Yours sincerely.
"Artemus ]. Smith"
The inclosed circular was an advertise
meut of the Associated Colonies. and
showed that Artemus j. Smith was the
secretary of the concern and that his Of
fees were in the St. Paul building. on
the card were engraved the name of Arte-
mus j. Smith and his Office address. Writ
ten in ink on the card was the address
"19 West Thirty-eighth street"
Mr.. Sage failed 10 see any humor in the
letter. He was advised, 1t was said last
night TO go 10 Yorkville court this morn
ing and get a summons for Artemus j
Smith to appear in court and explain the
meaning of the letter before the consti-
tuted authorities.
Artemus j Smith was found at his
boarding house last night. He said:

barrassng for me | think Mr. Sage has
acted very ungratefullX when 1 took all
