Has Leased the L. & N.

New York, April 26.-It is report
ed that preliminary papers have been
signed leasing the LOUISVILLE and
Nashville railroad to the Atlantic
Coast. Line on guarantee of per
cent. on the Louisville and Nashville
stock. The report has not been con-
firmed.
officials of the Atlantic Coast Line
declined to talk concerning the re-
ported guarantee on Louisville and
Nashville stock.
The Louisville now pays ct The rate
OF s per cent. per annum against 5
in the years 1904 inclusive, in
1900, 3 1-2 in 1899 and nothing in the
five preceding years. TIE Atlantic
Coast Line purchased s30,S9o,oo0 Of
the Louisville's ssO,0oO,OO0 stock from
]. P. Morgan & Co., in 1862.
The purpose OF guaranteeing a {
per Cent. dividend has been reported
in Wall Street ever since Lousville's
advance this season from 134 1-2 to
$50. The stock sold up S4 to
1864 today, but broke sharply

Washington, April 2S.-The cen
sus bureau today issued the final re-

was that Of 1898, which, according to
the commercial returns, was 1895

TEE NEW RAILROAD.
The Only obstacle is the Price De
manded for Rights-of-Way.

The RishopvilIe vindicator, refer
ring to the party Of railroad men who
made tour Of inspection Of the route
Of the proposed railroad from this
city % Bsthune and the seaboard Air
Line, has this to say:
.The party consisting of Major
Bushnell and Captain Davis of Flor
ida, Mr.. w. II. Ingram and Major
Lor;ng Lee. reached here last Thurs
day evening and spent the night. Next
morning, accompanied by Hon. I. e..
Mcleod, they resumed their journey
over the proposed route to Bethune
and were very much impressed with
the section of country through which
they passed.
The scheme for the new road is
by no means dead if the right of way
and terminals can be secured on rea-
sonable terms. The people living be-
tween here and Rethune are very
anxious for the road and will do all
theY can for It. Between here are
Manville and the eastern limit Of
town seems to be the hardest set from
whom to get reasonable terms.
.It is sound business judgment to
ask a fair remunerative price for
right-of-way, but an unreasonable de-
mand sows poor business tact and a
want of public spirit. Major Bushnell
and Captain Davis took the train at
Rethune and we may hear from them
again soon.''

SOLICITORS BAD BREAK.
OF KERSAW sfEN FOR
LYNCHING UNWARRANTED.
His Detectiye Has Skipped the Coun'
try and There is no Evidence
Against the Men.

Columbia, April 29.-It seems that
Solicitor Henry made a bad break
in employing Henry Dowie to work
up the evidence against the lynchers
of John Morrison at Kershaw last Oc-
tober, and which eliminated the 9TH
er day in the sensational arrest Of
such prominent men socially and in a
business way as Stewart w. Heath
John L. Stevens, W. E. Belk, Dick
Belk, Burwell Truesdale, ]. S. Holden,
S. F. Gardner, Jr., II. j. Gardner, S.
w. Welsh, Frank Hough, along with
negro named Tom Shot Jones. AT
the preliminary hearing before Mag
istrate Caskey at Lancaster yesterday
Howie, who had skipped out, was put
on the gridiron by the lawyers for the
defense, who denounced him as a
fraud who had spent the states mon
ey in joints in Charlotte, Atlanta,
Chester and elsewhere and had caus-
ed the arrests for nothing.
The solicitor admitted that he had
no witnesses and he shouldered the
entire responsibility for employing
HOWE, but he urged the magistrate
to continue the case until Wednesday,
as HOWE had promised to produce the
evidence by then. He admitted the ar
rest OF the men was surprise to him,
but said he had been given to under
stand that it had been done to pre-
vent the defendants from DETECTING a
certain important States witness
whom they were after at the time Of
the arrests. The case was dismissed
and the case against others for whom
warrants were out were mol pressed
by the solicitor.
..I was too busy to take the matter
up said Solicitor Henry, when the
lawyers on the other side got to press
ing him har0 on account Of the turn
the case had taken. @1 had no time to
confer will. witnesses Why, your
honor. knew that this would be al
honor, kno., that this would be an
unpopular case. I have lifelong
friends in Lancaster county, who, I
knew, would become estranged. Ny
God, have got to make enemies to
do rny duty2''
Solicitor Hel,y wants to occupy his
tine right noe forgetting al about
this affair so zar as what the people
of Lancaster or anywhere else will
think of his conduct. He evidently
made a mistake of the head, which
the best of su do at times,
but it is impossible for as
fundamentally true and as nat
uraiiy fearless and honorable q.
man as J. K. Henry to
mistake of the heart. The
splendid personality of l1r. Hen
ry is too we'll impressed upon
the hearts Of those who know him for
a thing Of this kind to be of any last
ing Importance against him.
