LouiSburg, n. c., Aug 1S.-A ire

Mrs. Sarah Davis, Of 100 North street
Raleigh, n. c., sWore out a warrant
for his arrest before Richard s. Reid,
Justice of the Peace, of Raleigh The
warrant was sent to Sheriff Kearne 4
for service, and in it Mr.. PinneIl is
charged with the larceny Of various
articles and money, breaking into ma
chine drawers and pilfering from the
house. The many friends OF Mr.. Pin
nell at first were indignant, but these
charges against one of our very best
citizens and a gentleman of the high
est character and standing i'm this
community upon second thought are
SO supremacy ridiculous as to excite
only laughter and the whole matter is
turned into capital joke. Sheriff
Kearney leaves tomorrow for Raleigh
with his prisoner" The only expla-
nation that can be given is that a Ger
tain party has impersonated Mr. Pin
nell and has palmed himself off on
Mrs. Davis as Mr.. PinneIl himself. This
man is now under suspicion.
in fact it Is almost certain who the
rascal is but not being absolutely sure.

1t is announced that the Presbytery

them. It will be cheerfully given, and

Do YOU WANT THIS
WABASH2
Goulds' Mouths Watering
For Seaboard?
The Reason Why These Questions Are
Asked---Mr. Williams Shuts Off
Coast Line.Seakoard
Speculation.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

1lIleS-DlSDdJcll.D
Varied speculation is being INDUCED
III in Baltimore and in this city in the
recent and still continuing movement
in Seaboard Air Line Railway stocks
more paper. that the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway was endeavOring to Sc
cure control of the rival Southern
line. This speculation is effectually
set at rest by the statement Of Mr.
John Shelton Williams. chairman OF
the board of directors, and with his
father and brothers owner of a large
block of the securities of the railway
system. Mr.. Williams states with prac-
teal certainty that the Coast Line is
making no effort to secure control
of the Seaboard.
Yesterday the Baltimore Sun pub
lished speculative article intimatine
that George Gould and the Wabash
interests were endeavoring to secure
sufficient stock to obtain control OF
the Seaboard. The Sun regards the re-
quest for deposit of stocks with the
Fidelity and Deposit Company OF
Maryland as indicating an attempted
pooling arrangement, which may lead
to an ultimate control of the stock.
Mr.. WiIiiams's Statement.
The Norfolk correspondent of The
TimeS-Dispatch yesterday wired the
following statement from Mr.. John
Shelton Williams on the subject of the
alleged effort of the Coast Line to Sc
cure control of the Seaboard stock
1T has been minated" said Mr.
Williams, that the Atlantic Coast
Line, or at least the head of that sys-
tenn, is after the stock of the Seaboard
Air Line. You may state as coming
from me, and L think that l am in q
position to give a definite and some
what accurate estimate of the situa-
ton, that do not believe it.
81 know of no negotiations now in
progress between any of the principals
in either of the lines interested that
would transfer the controlling inter-
ests of the Seaboar or the dictation
of its policy to either the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway Company or the
Southern Railway Company.
That means, then, that railway
competition in the South is to be
maintained, ana that the Seaboard will
remain an independent lme?" asked
the correspondent.
Ii is a Vital Question.
az realize that this is a vital dues-
ton to Southern shippers" said Mr.
Williams. THE Seahoard, under our
management and control, has ever
been an Independent road So far as
the continuance of that control is con
cerned, / can but refer to my state
ment made at New York when the
Blair-Ryan option on the stock ex-
pired, to the effect that Mr.. hidden
dorf and my banking house own $15,-
100000 worth of Seaboard securities
and that with our associates we con
troll the stock of the system.
Were Mr.. Henry Walters or any
one else after the Seaboard Air Line
am quite sure that | would be one
of the first persons to learn of it,"
At the office of Mr.. Williams in
this city yesterday it was stated that
the annual report of earnings and ex-
penses would be out in a week or ten
days. The report of the president is
not expected to be issued Before the
middle of September.
