DIED or HIS WOUND.
To Build New County Home. Captain
Powell Resigns.
Especial to News and Observer


Charlotte, N. c.. Feb. 25.-Loc}Ie Davis,
whc was shot by Jno. Solomons, at the
Louise Mills, several weeks ago, died this
afternoon at 2.3 o'clock at the Presby
teIian Hospital. Mr.. Davis was carried
to the hospital Monday and on Tuesday
an operation was performed and the
bullet extracted. Later complications set
in, resulting from the wound, and this
morning as early as eight O'Clock the
chances OF Davis were regarded as being
extremely slim. He died this afternoon
in his room at the hospital. Solomons
this morning was ordered locked UP in
Jail by the recorder, his bond being with
drawn. The physicians state that it was
impossible to perform an operation sooner
on account of the nature of the wound,
the bone having been pierced just an inch
and half below the thigh. This is prob
ably the cause of the fatal termination
of the wound.

Nest Rilemen, has resigned his captaincy
in that company and the resignation has
been accepted. Colonel 7. r. Robertson,
of the First North Carolina regiment. has

END OF NORTHERN
SECURITIES

NEW YORK, March 22.-Following
a day Of great excitement in the stock
market and numerous conferences
among the leading financial interests,
the new plan of the Northern Securi-
ties Company was made public this
evening in a circular letter to North
ern Securities stockholders signed by
President Hill. The letter says in
part:
THE stock of the Northern Securi-
ties Company was issued solely for the
shares of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railway companies
and other properties purchased by it.
The cOmpanys acquisition of North
ern Pacific and Great Northern shares
was made in the full belief that such
purchases were in no wise obnoxious
to any law of the United States-an
opinion which has received the APP
prevail of four Justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States, namely,
Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Jus
tees Edward White, Rufus w. Peck
ham and Oliver Wendell Holmes in
the suit brought by the United States
against the right of the company to
hold and vote the shares. However,
the majority of the court, disregarding
as irrevelant any beneficial increase of
commerce. was of the opinion that as
a matter of law your company's hold
ings of the stock of the two railway
companies in itself constituted a re-
straint of interstate commerce, pro-
hibited by the so-called Sherman act
Of 1890. Accordingly, the railway COM
| panies have been forbidden to permit
your company to vote or collect divi-
dends on the shares held by you.
Therefore your directors at a meet
ing held this day have, under the ad-
vice of counsel, decided that in order
to fully and promptly comply with the
decree in this suit It is necessary tc
reduce the capital stock of the company
and to distribute to it's shareholders the
shares of stock of said railway COM
| panies now held by you.
ITO this end they have adopted reso-
lutions recommending to the stock
holders:
'First-That the capital stock of this
company be reduced from 1854 OO(
shares, now outstanding, to 39.54O be.
ing a reduction of SO per cent
'Second-That said SO per cent Of
the present outstanding shares be
called in for surrender and cancella.

'Third-That against each share OF
the stock of this company to be sur.
rendered there will be delivered 1892
