enjoyment i'll it, That they will want
to see David. Aunt Polly, Deacon
Perkins and the other characters who
move through the story on the stage
seems but natural. The New York
run of the play was record breaker
in the matter of receipts and it claim
ed attention there for sixteen weeks.
For six weeks it run in Chicago and
for two months in Boston. The adap-

asid to have taken very few liberties
with it, adhering very closely to the
story woven so skilfully bv Wescott
All the scenes are laid in bonneville.
N. y, and the play is divided into
three acts. From appearances it is
not unlikely that the play will meet
with warm reception here and its
presentation be largely attended.

New Bern. n. c., Aug. 31.-A con-

portance. Carl Duncan, who is here

Dan Patrick. George Green, j. S.

to put out a mongrel ticket against

would be put up against Dave Ward,

no definite step had been taken and

OLD THIEF RUN TO EARTH.
Duncan Matthews, Suspected OF Many
Robberies, Caught by Police.

Duncan Matthews, implicated years
ago in what was the famous Temple
robbery, from the consequences OF
which he escaped by turning States
evidence, was arrested yesterday by
Policemen Thompson and Banks in
Rhamkatte near Raleigh, and is held
with some of his plumber on various
charges of larceny.
Among the articles which have been
recovered and which now line the
walls of the station house are the fol-
lowing: Five rocking chairs, blcy-
cles, l double-barrel shot gun, l eX-
press wagon, / set of harness and
bride, / hammer 80 articles of wear
ing apparel, hats, 1 cOunterpane,
cushions.
During the past few months there
have been several burglaries ana
many cases of theft from dwellings
and porches on the city, particularly
in the suburbs west of Raleigh.
The police believe that in Matthews
they have found the responsible man.
Those who have been robbed are in
vited to call at the station house and
identify their property. When TINS is
done it is believed that there Will be
evidence sufficient TO convict, not only
of numerous thefts, but of burglary
as we'll.
Matthews, who goes under several
aliases, is a coffee-colOred negro Of
some sixty years of age. He admits
his criminal record.
The arrest was made as the result
of long and persistent search and
investigation by the officers, for which
they deserve credit. For some time
they have been shadoWing Matthews,
but he was an elusive quantity. Yes
terday, however, a phone message
was received which resulted in the To-
cation of the man at the home of a
country darkey, and the officers went
out and succeeded in making the ar
rest without trouble.
The property recovered was collect
ed from various parties, with some Of
whom the articles had been stored

will expire by limitation in 1851, or
forty-seven years from date.
The question raised has a big look
but is said to involve little difficulty,
While the life of a corporation is linn
tied either in the charter to a GER
tain number of years or by law, when
no limit is fixed, to 60 years it's life
may be prolonged by extending tho
charter. While the question is said
not to have arisen for decision IL
this State, the law is quoted as hold
ing that a mere conveyance of great
er rights or powers than are actually
possessed by grantor is not ultra
wires to the extent of affecting tho
conveyance of such rights as tho
grantor does possess.
Reduced to more simple language,
the lease by the railroad company
while its charter expires in forty-seven
years, if made for a longer period than
forty-seven years would not be invalid
for that reason as far as the remain
ing years contemplated by the charter.
In other words a lease made by the
road for a longer period than forty
seven years would be taken by the
lessee subject to the right of the Leg.
islature at the end of that term to re-
fuse an extension of the charter-a
scarcely possible contingency.
When seen last night, Governor Ay-
cock said that he expected no trouble
or hitch from the matter set forth
in the telegram, but that the attention,
of the attorneys for the various bid
ders would be called to the matteJ
specifically, although they are sup.
posed to have notice of the condi-.
ton from the provisions of the char.
ter itself.
Coming as it does from New Bern
Z I,e .~f A u
are opposed to the lease the question
is a suggestive one. and it may yet
figure as the grounds of further liti~
cation as to the road.
Prices Going Up.
On the eve of the day on which tho
future of the road is likely to be de
cided, the business effect of the
lease was evident in tho
price of the stock which rose rapidly
from $50 to So per share.
Sales of several shares We're, made
at the latter figure and the CONNER
cial and Farmers Bank had instruc-
tons to buy all stock of the road OBJ,
tainable at that price.
Who Will Get the Plum?
Although the opinion and forecast
here is that the Rowland syndicate viii,
be in control, it is recognized that the
has always been an uncertain
one-a condition which has beeI
made more marked by the amendment
OF the Kennedy syndicates'' bid.
OFF for New Bern.
Among those who left for New Ber,l
from Raleigh yesterday were Messrs
Beckwith and Ballard Hon. r. 3. Wo-
mack, representing Mrs. f. z. Tucker

cock will leave this morning and Mr.
