uary while in session, the plan was
turned down.
Eut visions of railroads filled
many a Wilmingtonisn's head and
the refusal on the Part of the state
legislature did little to dampen the
enthusiasm.
The good folks here finally settl-
ed upon a plan which would have
seen a railroad running from Will
mington to Raleigh.
Once again the state legislature
received an appeal from the Port
City. This time however it was for
ia charter for a company to build
the railroad and the request was
granted in January 1884.
COLD FEET - Just why we do
not know, but the good people of
Raleigh who wanted a railroad did
not want to subscribe the money
necessary. to construct the line.
That fact altered the plans here
The projected construction was
changed at Goshen to. head toward
Weldon instead of Raleigh.
An amendment to the charter
to provide from the change route
was made in December 1885.

R0BS STORE HERE
Downtown Drug Firm Hit
By Robber Sunday
Afternoon

An armed and bare-faced bandit
yesterday afternoon entered the
Standard Pharmacy here, forced
Proprietor William T. Glass to
hand over nearly $50 grains OF
morphine, and disappeared into a
late Sunday afternoon Front Street
crowd.
The intruder, probably a narcotic
addict, made his daring daylight
raid after entering the closed store
at 5 p. m. yesterday on the pretext
OF having a prescription filled,
Glass told Wilmington police.
1t was the city's third narcotics
robbery in two months. The Stand
ard Pharmacy was burgled anc
SIS worth of dope stolen late ir
October, and two weeks ago a gang
of expert cracksmen broke into the
Bellamy Drug company and made
off with 5000 in narcotics. Neither
burglary has been solved SO far.
The gunman was reported to bt
a nervous, but soft-spoken man
weighing around 165 pounds, dres
sed in a brown coat, brown hat,
and grey suit, who held a small,
nickel-plated pistol in front of him
and told Glass, IT don't want tt
do this but I've got to have It"
The stolen narcotics, wo@r&rt
roughly $25 at retail but Of in
estimatable value IN the morphine
market, were in half-grain pills, II
a, 500-tablet bottle that had been
barely used, Glass said.
Glass was working alone in his
stores balcony office when the
burglar entered. After the request
