wives-by- brevet or relatives before

ensues which results ln court clerks

The Youngsville Tobacco Market.

Especial to News and Observer.)
1oungsville, N. c., August 22-The to-
bacco market is the principal feature OF
this town, and although it is young in
years, it is making marvellous progress
and is fast becoming one Of the best of
the smaller markets. The market this
season is, equipped with two large and
amply commodious warehouses and many
buyers, representing the principal firms
OF this and other States. The Banner
warehouse owned and operated by Cheat
ham Bros, is a very popular warehouse
and its management is attracting great
deal of leaf tobacco. They have built up
large business which they justly merit by
reason of its able management. Meadows
Co., have charge of the Eagle ware
house this year. The proprietors are we'll
known and experienced tobacco men, ac-
tive, honest, clever, and are using
every inducement possible to build up the
market. Both will sell a large amount of
tobacco during the season.
The break last Friday was an unusually
large one and possibly the largest ever
seen on this market in August. The ave.
ages were from s to cents. and gave
entire satisfaction. The grades are con-
sidered very high and the farmers went

PENNSYLVANIA.
(By The Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa. August 22.-The
North American will tomorrow say:
Control of the Norfolk and Western
railway has passed out of the hands of
the Pennsylvania railroad, and is firmly
in the grasp of Gould interests
"This was announced yesterday as q
fact and will probably occasion greater
surprise in financial and railroad circles
than any similar announcement made
this year.
1.-The Gould interests. it is asserted.
now hold an actual majority of the CAPT
tai stock of the Norfolk and Western.
1t is believed that the Pennsylvania in
terest is about SO, 900 out of the 3d.,
0eO, 900 preferred stock and $13, 100000 out
OF the S66, 000, 900 common stock.
1.-THE Gould party began, it is said, by
purchasing the foreign holdings of Nor
folk and Western stock, following this by
quietly picking up the floating shares in
the New York market.
Control of the Norfolk and Western
will be used by George j. Gould to further
the interests of his railroad system. If
the Pennsylvania railroad will withdraw
opposition to the Wabash in Pittsburg and
agree not to thwart Gould in his effort
to get an Atlantic seaboard outlet, the
recently acquired interest in the Norfolk
and Western will be surrendered at a
price which is fair. This is the latest of
a series of strategic moves by the Gould
group to the end of forcing an Eastern
outlet.
cit is believed that President Cassatt,
of the Pennsylvania railroad, will de-
cline to make any compromise with the
Gould party which would be disadvantage
GUS to the Pennsylvania. He will sail
for Europe on August Goth and is ex-
peoted to take the immediate direction of
things on September 9th. 1t is expected
that the Pennsylvania will make no ar
rangement to handle Gould freight from
Pittsburg to the seaboard unless Mr..
Gould will agree to abandon, absolutely,
the project for a new railroad across
Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. In the
meantime arrangements are being per-
fected for a number of feeders which
will draw together at Pttsburg over the
Wabash a heavy freight traffic. The Big
Four has agreed to let Wabash trains use
it's rails between Wellington, Ohio, and
Cleveland under a 800 year agreement.

RAILWAY TAXATION CASE.
To Prevent Collection by Georgia of Taxes on
Stock of Alabama Western
fBy the Associated Press


Atlanta. Ca, August 22.-The Louis
VILE and Nashville Railroad and the At
lantic Coast Line have filed a bill in
equity in the United States court against
w. A. Wright, Comptroller General of
Georgia, and the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, to enjoin the cOllec-
ton of taxes upon the shares of stock of
the Western Railway of Alabama.
The Georgia Company purchased one
half interest in the Western Railway of
Alabama, it is stated, under authority of
a special act of the Legislature. This
one half interest all rights, ownership,
management, control and use, were leased
to William NJ Wadley for 80 years from
April 1st 1851.
The lessee became charged with the
payment OF all taxes upon the one half
interest of the Georgia Company. The
Western Railway became Incorporated
and the shares of stock representing the
interest Of the Georgia went into the pos
session and control of the lessee. Wad-
ley's lease became invested in the Louis
Vile and Nashville, the Central Railroad
and Banking Company being a CO. lessee.
The Louisville and Nashville subsequently
acquired the lease of the Central, thereby
becoming sole lessee.
The Western Railway of Alabama, it is
stated, is organized under the laws of
Alabama, and lies within that State. one

Treasurer Showers was, however, allow
ed credit for due bills, drafts, etc,

The Governor then states:
II INDUCED the hope that the amount
Of said shortage would be replaced if
opportunity and time We're given before
the result of said count was made pub
lie and that the State might thus re-
cover money without further trouble,
explanation or loss. I therefore in the
interest Of the State enjoined secrecy on
those present in the whole proceeding
and agreed with Mr.. Showers that I
would make another count of the money
on Tuesday. August goth. On the date
fixed l made the count. 1t was then
found cash and drafts on hand balanced
with the books which called for $905914..
The Governor closes the statement by
saying: "The condition of the funds in
the Treasury on said count is made as
required of me by section 1877 of the
Constitution and in my opinion the
books of the Treasury show correct
statement of the amounts which should
have been in the Treasury on the said
18th and goth days of August 1901 re-
spectively and before doing or saying
further in the premises, l deem it just
to Mr.. Showers (the Treasurer). that he
be given full opportunity to make such
explanation of the matter as he may
see fit"
The publication of this report created
no end of excitement. Mr.. Showers
declined to make a statement.
