 New York, Oct. 13.-There was a rather remarkable demonstration of speculative interest in industrials and speeialt1es to-day, which was of doubt market. The market had an appearance of breadth and animation during the greater part of the day, but the falling off in the aggregate transactions shows that an active market for the indus trials does not yield as large market results as the usual operations in the more important railroad stocks. This was made more marked by the fact that the more important industrials were also late in coming into to-day's

Discovery of One Near
Gaffney. Capitalists
Buying Land.
Especial to News and observcr.)

Asheville, n. c.. March 16.-From all
has been discovered near Gaffney, S. c.,
on the land of a poor farmer. Asheville
gentlemen who returned few davs ago
from an inspection of this property are
very enthusiastic over the future pros
poets of the mine. They give out some cold
facts and figures, the most important of
which is that tin ore is there, in great
chunks and any one can go and see it
for himself. The owner of the property
has refused more than fifty offers for it.
He has sold one car load of twenty tons
for 1000 cash. Tin ore is scarce and
this lot had to be shipped to Liverpool
and to be sent thence to Cornwall, there
being no smelter in the United States.
Options are being taken on land all
around this property by a syndicate of
AsheVille capitalists and others from Mich
iean. In fact these parties are making
bids for mining lease on all the land
between Gaffney and Kings Mountain.
Judge Henry B. Stevens and w. 7.
Mason are among the Ashevile men who
nave recently inspected the property,
Judge Stevens was asked whether or not
he was interested IN syndicate which
proposes to purchase and operate prop
erty in the vicinity Of this mine, but re-
fused to make any statement on the su0-
iect.
With the $4,000 made out. of the mine
the owner is putting in machinery and
employing men to get out the ore. One
boulder recently excavated weighs more
than 1000 pounds and this is to be sent
TO- the St Louis worlds fair. The ore is
found in a vein that is encased in
kaolin deposit Outside the vein. ore ap-
pears in small particles over an area half
mile wide mixed with the clay soil
For long while the mining has been
carried on in crude way, and the big
strike was made about a month ago, but
every effort has been made to keep the
matter out of the newspapers.

so SAYS THE TEMPS
The Concentration of Russians at
Mukden and Harbin May Block
Japanese Landing in North
ern Part of Bay of
Korea.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris, March 16-The Temps CORE
spondent at st. Petersburg asserts that
a Russian army corps is descending from
Vladivostock toward Korea. He adds that
Port Arthur has a garrison of 10000 men
and is provisioned for year.
The Russian Ministry of Marine, the
Temps correspondent further asserts,
claims that Japan's losses since the open
ing of the war are four cruisers and five
torpedo boat destroyers and the machin-
cry OF a 1900 ten battleship seriously
injured
The correspondent concludes his dis
patch with asserting that the concentra-
ton of Russian troops at Mukden and
Harbin is considered as terminating the
danger from a Japanese landing in the
northern part of the Bay of Korea.
Yin Kow, March 16.-The only reliable
reports at the present moment from the
main Manchurian cities show quiet
movement along the railway and such
cities as Mukden, which arc off the main
line are undsturbed. The people here arc
not in possession of definite news of out
side events.
The chief movement on the Fong Huang
Cheng military road is the dispatch of
riders to and from the Russian advance
forces.
A creditable native arrived here today
bringing a report as late as March u
from Fong Huang Cheng to the effect
that the main body of the cOnccntrat ted
forces had crossed the Yalu, leaving
small bodies of troops "a Antung and
other points to guard the river.
A fortnight ago few spies visited
Antung, but since then no Japanese have
been seen west of the Yalu.
The continued attacks of the Japanese
have compelled the steady occupation of
the Liao Tung peninsula. The last bonn
barGment Of Port Arthur rendered every
Fart of the fortress of Port Arthur un-
safe. Residents assert that fragments OF
Japanese shells fell everywhere, and that
some railway coaches and buildings were
destroyed. though most Of the damage
on the shore was unimportant.
Foreigners choosing to remain in the
interior must now sign an agreement re-
stricting their movements and stipulatng
that a special pass is necessary when
leaving their bounds.

TO BE EAKICK OUT
OR RACRAWL0 OUT
Judge PurneII Indignantly Denounces McBee-
Finch Conspiracy as an imposition on
the Federal Court

which will be presented to Judge Simon
ton is substantially as follows:
'That on motion of counsel for the COM
plainant it is ordered and adjudged that
the orders of February "a and rs, appoint
ing a receiver for the A. and N. c. Rail
road Company be vacated, and that the
bill of complaint filed in this cause be
dismissed, and that the property described
in the bill of complaint be returned to
the possession of the President and the
Board of Directors of the A. and n. c.
Railroad Company, and that no compen-
sation shall be allowed to the receiver Or
to his counsel, and that the defendant re-
cover of the complainant and his sureties
on his bond the costs of the action"
That is the order without the legal trim
mings upon which Judge Simonton and
Judge Purnell will confer, and it is that
which it is expected will be signed this
morning, the parties having agreed.
The only amount to be recovered by the
State is that which they can get from
K. S. Finch, the complainant, or his
surety This surety is "The United States
Surety and Guaranty Company, of Bal
timore, and the sum of the bond is only
5000. The bond of Capt. McBee as receiv-
er is $4,000. but that is only for his ac
ton as receiver. ALI the expenses McBee
and colleagues have incurred they must
meet.
The agreement of the McBee counsel to
the order dismissing the receivership has
been made upon no conditions granted by
the State. 1t was sought by the McBee
counsel. who opened up the negotiations
and with it is coupled no conditions con-
corning the charge of conspiracy made by
the State against McBee and Finch.
In that case the matter is one which in
regular time will come before the grand
jury ef aWke county, to whom the papers
in the case will be sent by Chief Justice
Walter Clark. 1t is now a matter to be
looked after by Solicitor Armstead Jones.

CARD HOUSE CRASHES
McBee and Finch's Edifice TumbIes
Ere the Full Force of the
Hurricane is Felt.
Especial to News and Observer


Kinston, N. c., March 16.-The next is
sue of the Free Press will say:
I'm the complaint of K. s. Finch before
Judge Purnell when he and his mignight
co-cOnspirators were making their effort
to sureptiously get control of the Allan
tic and North Carolina Railroad property,
great stress was laid upon the fact that
the States proxy withdrew from the
stockholders meeting last September, and
the affidavit alleged that this was done to
thwart the will of the private stockhold-
ers, who it was alleged in the complaint,
desired a lease Of the road. This allega-
ton is learned to be untrue, as are
great many of the other charges in the
complaint, and the liquid air operator
house of cards built up before Judge PUr-
nell in Norfolk is not to stand a slight
flaw of wind, much less the hurricane of
disapproval from the public which has
struck it.
The facts in the case concerning the
Governors position and the action Of the
States proxy in withdrawing from the
stockholders meeting as testified from the
States proxy, Mr.. j. w. Granger, are as
follows After the regular business of the
ed and the question of the lease was men
toned, the States proxy withdrew from
the meeting to let the private stockhold-
ers discuss the lease question among
themselves. There was no formulated
proposition to lease the road before the
stockholders at that time, as the only bid
that had been made, which was for one
and one-half per cent, had been refused
outright by the State prior to the meet
ing of the stockholders. 1t was the Gov
ernor's wish to learn the views of the pri-
vatc stockholders concerning a lease of
the road, but at no time was it considered
to lease at the low bid of one and .one
half per cent. and the wisdom OF the ac-
ton of the State in refusing that propO-
sition has been fully demonstrated by
later events. Governor Aycock having in
his possession bids to lease for 4, 5, and
per cent
The State has never said that it would
not lease the road, but has held out con
.sistently for a fair and reasonable return
for the lease of the property and the bet
Ter propositions now in hand are com
pIete justification of the Governors ac-
ton in refusing to fall over himself to ac-
cept the cheap offers made him. Finch
ct ais, in their great anxiety to get con
troll of the property have halted at moth
ing. but through their gross misrcpresen-
tation of fact may serve to obtain tenn
norarv receivership without notice from
Federal Court it will not bear the light |
Of a full investigation and when the facts |
are odduced it s confidently expected that |

A CAR OVERTURNED.
A Mysterious Accident in Which Two
Passengers We're Hurt.
Special to News and observer)


Washington N c.. March 16.-Therc
came near being a serious railroad accl-
dent on the Washington and Plymouth
branch of the Norfolk and Southern rail
road yesterday afternoon near PlnetoWn.
One of the passenger coaches was derall-
cd and several of the passengers hurt,
none seriously. The train was bound
from Plymouth to Washington. The only
reason why the accident was not more
serious was due to the fact that the tram
had slowed down for the station at Pine
town. Just before she entered the station
there was humping sensation and with
out a moments warning the passenger
coach was overturned. Several of the
passengers were bruised. cut and consid-
rrably shaken up. Mrs Harry Lindlay,
of the Lindlay Dramatic Company, who
opened an engagement here this evening
was one of those hurt. She was cut bad
ly in the breast by glass and also on the
face.
When she was rescued she was found
lying through one of the windows of the
car next to the ground.
One gentleman passenger was cut bad
ly on the leg. All the rest of the pas
sengers escap ped. The wounded were talk
en- to Pinetown, where they received med
lcal aid. The passengers were brought to
this city on the baggage car. Why the
car should have been derailed is not known
and the wonder is none of the passengers
were not killed There were about fif-
teen passengers on the train at the time.
