Railroads in North Carolira. Pineyille, N. C., March 14.?'Twas promised in a foregoing letter to tell your readers something of the taking and tearing up of a railroad iu this State Several years ago." -Well as the legend goes, a little town wanted to connect itself with a trunk line lfi miles away, procured a charter and floated bonds to get the road \n shape for rolling stock, etc. A Baltimore syndicate bought the entire lot of bonds, but there was something lacking. So far there had not any provision been made for cars, sidetracks, and depots, and the short road appealed m thp hip- road to add all appurtenances "~_o - . . . . and operate the road itself, -which was accordingly 49ne- Matter went on smoothly for several thorites when the ! townspeople concluded the main line was I making too much money out of the little "feeder" and asked control of it, which had been stipulated in the charter, and the trunk line quietly yielded. fn a short while the little road people found out they had a huge elephant ou hand, and again applied to tb? big rpad operators to take charge of the road. But in a little time the "spur" people again thought there was "millions in it" and a second time demanded control of the road. Being chagrined with dealing With such a wishy-washy people, the wilyguily managers of the big system one night a little after midnight drilled a long train of platform cars, put aboard 200 or 300 able-bodied hands and quietly slipped down to the little hutulet whose citizens were sleeping and mayhap dreaming, tore up the side track, loaded the rails, appropriated the depot and office fixtures, when au ex-judge being aroused and ascertaining what was up sent a messenger post haste to the railroad bridge five miles away to fire it apd bold the train which was being laden with rails until he could get an injunction. The bridge burner arrived in time and fired the structure, but when the marauding train came up there were timbers ^ 1 n fnmnAfQrrr KriHorfl enouga itit iu a ivui^viu** over which the long train passed safely and in less than one hour* was on the switch of the trunk line and in a few hours more all was side-trackpfj ftp yirginia soil. The nest day another Baltimore man, who had made advances to the spur line, hearing of the coup, hastened down and saved part of his claims by seizing the residue of the rails. There was no injunction and in fact the case nevpi reached the courts. Tradition hath it that until this day the little town of M? is completely isolated from the busy world around so far as being connected with bands of steel is concerned, but nonethe less is perfectly satisfied with the fint macadam roads intersecting the county This State is far ahead of her eisfcej State of South Carolina in rock roads. Ir this county of Mecklenburg alone then are 110 miles of macadamized roadway." and 45 of {.hcip ip tpe little township o: Charlotte.

Croft, a white man about 55 years old, who resided in Fairfax, was shot from ambush about a mile from his home at a late hour Monday night and instantly killed. Circumstances point very strongly to Frank Strong, a young negro, as the assassin. Strong and his wife, Ella, had separated and the latter had obtained shelter and employment from Mr. Croft and his wife in Fairfax. The evidence shows that Mr. Croft and Ella Strong left Fairfax about 8 o'clock last night to go to Frank Strong's house, a mile and a half distant, to get some furniture that Ella claimed. Mr. Croft stopped at his son's house, which is about 200 yards from Strong's, Ella going on by herself. After a stormy encounter with Frank she returned to the place where she had left Mr. Croft where the two remained until after midnight when they left on foot together for Fairfax. When they had proceeded a few hundred yards in a road that skirts around a branch and at a spot where stands a cluster of pine trees, a loud report of a gun rang out in the stillness of the night and a few minutes later Ella Strong was back at Mr. Lee Croft's and reported that some one had shot Mr. W. L. Croft and that he was dying. The younger Croft hastened to the spot and found his father in the throes of death, having almost breathed his last breath. TbP weapon used was a shot gun, probably an old army musket as Strong had such a gup, and was loaded with large buckshot, some of which took effect Vii-ooof onH Qnmp (Jit? Ut?UCt(5CU 9 IIQUO uaV(fov wu\4 u>"^ *in h|s rigbt bond. Ella Strong declares that she does not know who committed the deed, but she has told conflicting stories and it is believed that she does know. A posse has been hunting for Frank Strong since early this morning, but he has not yet been apprehended. Ris running away suggested his guilt. As might be supposed from the above narrative the deceased's character was morally bad but he was not of a turbulent or combative disposition. Magistrate Googe of Allendale is holding the inquest at this writing. The deceased leaves a wife and two grown sons, and a brother. Confederate yeterans' Reunion.
