Right of Way is Secured.

A special to the Bristol Herald from
Gate City, Va, November %, says ex-
Judge S. II. Bond aud Messrs. W. $.
Cox and A. X. Morrison, attorneys who
have been engaged in securing the
right of way for the South & Western
Railway from Clinchport to the coal
fields of Wise county, have returned to
town and give most favorable report
of their work The difficulties in the
way Of Mr.. George l.. Garter and his
company in respect to the right of way
have been removed, the attorneys hav-
ing made satisfactory arrangements
with the land owners all along theline.
These gentlemen went about the task
in methodical, painstaking way, and
in way to avoid legal complications
They are highly encouraged with The
outlook for the early completion of the
road, and express the utmost conf
dence both in Mr.. Carter's Intention
and in his ability to carry his grea
enterprise to a successful issue.
1t seems that the people here, anC
especially those who have interests o
Importance along the route, take th
view that Mr.. Carter and his compan
have every incentive to build the road
They own vast property in the PARTIAL
constructed road which can never b
valuable without the completion of til
q road. The road would pay well. TIL
company owns vast timber and mine
raj lands for which the road will Civ
an outlet and render valuable. Thes
are the lines along which the peopl
are reasoning. And besides, Mr.. Can
q ter has always held high place in tn
esteem Of the people Of this section.

Nixon.s shipyard Closed.

The building OF torpedo boats and
all other vessels apparently came to an
end at Nixon's shipyard at Perth Am-
boy the other day. No work was done
there except by half a dozen men who
were performing odd jobs incidental
to the shipment of nine torpedo boats
that have been taken apart and placed
aboard fat decked barge. The rest
of the men have been laid off, and have
not received notice that their services
win be required again. Nixon's lease
of the shipyard runs till May. 1t is
believed that the nine torpedo boats
on the barge will be transferred TO
some other vessel before starting on
the trip across the Atlantic. The cor
responding sections Of each boat fit
into one another neatly, and the whole
lot could be slowed away conveniently
in the hold of a steamship. AS they
are at present they could hardly be
trusted to the mercies Of the Atlantic.
