Durham, n. c., April 15.-There seors
to be a hitch in the negotiations between
the Durham peace committee and the
two railroads regarding Peabody street
and the Union depot. When the local
peace committee and the representatives
of the three roads had a meeting at
Hotel Carolina sometime ago it was
stated that the railroad men would get
together in short while and that
second meeting would be held here within
two weeks. Notwithstanding that tho
committee has sent appeals to the rep

be here this week. It. seems however,
that there is little or 10 hope of getting
the roads together.
gentleman who is in position to
know something of what is going on
told me that the roads were afraid of
each other. and feared to make a move
in the matter. One member of te com
mittee said that the SeaboarG road had
not lived up TO what it said would be
done, and another member of the same
committee told me that Colonel Andrews
nau never fCceded a single men from MS
original proposition. He said that the
Southern would do nothing to conf
promise, but demanded the entire street
before anything would be considered. If
the efforts of the committee come to
naught, a statement of everything that
took place. showing all the roads up in
their true colors, Will be given out for
publication.
In the meantime the Peabody street
suit is no nearer a settlement than in
days gone by. An appeal to the Court
of Appeals has been taken, and this VIII

Another suit is to be started. The Sea-
board road will ask the courts to con-
denim a right of way up the street. The
non-suit taken in the condemnation pro-
cecdings a short while ago was nothing
more than to get rid of an old case and
start enc on a different basis

must do something by the latter part of
