The Senboard and Roanoke Railroad, which is the parent company of this system, terminates at the city of Ports mouth, Va., upon a series of extensive wharves and docks, and enjoys so large and profitable a traffic that, after rav ing for many years 10 jier cent, per an- uuni in dividends to its stockholders, it 1ms accumulated a surplus property J*f over $1,270,000. This is represented in part by the ownership of a majority of ■"■.he shares in the “Raleigh and Gaston Railroad,” which in iis turn controls, by stock ownership, the Raleigh and .A ugusta Air Line Railroad. The Sea board and Roanoke and Raleigh anil Gaston Railroads together own, control by stock and bond ownership, the Car olina Central Railroad. The Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad holds also large interests in the Old Dominion Steam ship Company and in the Baltimore Steam packet company. The Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad operates its own line,83 miles in length, and, by lease, the Roanoke and Tar Riv er Railroad, 34 miles in length. The Raleigh and Gaston Railroad op erates its own line, 98 miles in length, and bv lease, the Louislmrg Railroad, 10 miles in length. It also controls by the ownership of a majority of the stock the Durham and Northern Rail road, 421A miles in length. 1 • The Raleigh and Augusta Air- Line Railroad operates its own line, 107 miles in length, and the Pittsboro Railroad, 12 miles, and the Carthage Railroad, 10 miles in length. The Carolina Central Railroad oper ate its own line, 287 miles in length. The following figures tak en from th* annual re ports of the companies, clearly show that for a number of years past the net earnings of the Seaboard and Roanoke and Raleigh and Gaston Railroads have been largely in excess of the amount required to meet the entire interest charge on the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railway Company’s bond.

The Brown Brothers are the wealth iest and most infiuential bankers in America, and when they undertake an enterprise there is no such word as fail. These capitalists took hold of the Cov ington and Macon road when one end of it was fastened in Macon and the other Hopping in the air, and built it At once to Athens. They can eom- siranil unlimited money, and it is only a question of time when the trains will be running into Athens over this • new road. It Is said that by the first of - August contracts to grade the road will the Jet out all along the line, from Ath ens to Chester, and with unlimited money, it does not take long these days to finish a railroad. We would not be surprised to see the trains running into Athens over the G., C&N., by this time next year.

Dr. Henry Jackson, a colored indi vidual who says he is from the wilds of Texas, arrived in the city this week. The Doctor has with him what he calls *‘an educated rattle snake” which lie says ean do many strange things and will obey him the same as a child, and can even pull a wagon. He attracted considerable attention in Mr.Mark Dan iel’s store, and after a small amount had been collected from the crowd,took the snake (which is an unusually small one) out of the box and puts him back again. This was the extent of the ex hibition, and the crowd disappeared terribly sold. Dr. Jackson says he travels for medi cine, which he guarantees will cure anything in the world except consump tion, and one well directed lick from the snake will do that. The doctor says he has followed the Indians for many years, and is now willing for a norminal sum to give mankind the benefit of his learning. He is anxious fyr the public to under stand that he is no believer in “voodoo- ism,” but is a prominent medicine man, who is doubtless without glory abroad as well as iu his own country. His presence has attracted the attention of all the negroes, who look upon him with wonder. He will remain in the city as long as his snake will take with the crowd, after which he will seek greener fields. Tha Rash Deed of an Insane Woman—A Wifa and Mother Kills Herselfr-A Mourning Husband and Two • Motherless Children— To Be Buried To-day. “For whom do you want the coffin ?” “For Mrs. McLqeklin, who lives near Barber's creek.” This was part of a dialogue which was being carried on in .O’l* aryell & Jan- kower’s store yesterday afternoon. A kind neighbor had come in town to procure a casket for the wife of J»?» McLocklin, -who lives near Barber s Creek in Jackson county. The dead woman bad committed sui cide a : few hours before. The cause of her rash act was insanity. The story of McLocklin and his wife is, as far as can be learned, about as follows: • Six yeiirs ago James MeLoeklin, a farmer living near Barber’s Creek, in Jackson, married the daughter of John Harris. They had two children,ofie about three years old, the other seven months. "It was a happy family until a short time ago. Not long ago Mrs. Harris, the mother of Mrs. McLocklin, died. The daugh ter, who was devoted to her Inother, earned .as though shn could not stand the blow caused by her death, and soon after that event she began to show signs of insanity. Yesterday morning McLocklin ate his breakfast anil ^farted, according to his custom, to the field. The two children and the mother remained in the house. About 6 o’clock McLocklin heard a pis# tol shot, lie rushed toward the house and was joined on his way by Mrs. -W. D. G rifle th, one of his neighbors, who had also heard tlie shot. Dashing into the yard, they saw' a most heart 1 rending sight. On the ground lay the poor woman gasping for breath, a 38 calibre pistol in her hand, and a round iVgly hole in her forehead, from which the blood was gushing in angry spurts. Her child stood over her weeping pit eously, only knowing- that something dreadful bad happened, but not know ing what it was. The poor husband was almost beside himself with grief, but quiekly stoop ing he lifted his jioor wife in his arms, and with the assistance of Mrs. Griffetli got her into the house and laid her on the bed. They soon saw that there was no earthly aid for her, and that their only office was to make her last moments on earth as comfortable as possible. The poor woman lay gasping ft>r about an hour, and then she died, leav ing her heart-broken hnsbaSid com pletely overcome with grief. It is one of the saddest affairs that ever occurred in Jackson county, and is made all the more pitiable by the fact Mrs. McLocklin was a very young wo man, being only twenty years old, and that she leaves two helpless children without tlie care of a mother. She had behaved in a strange manner for some three or four months, the death of her mother having completely un settled her, but she was not considered in any way dangerous until day before yesterday, when she got hold of a pistol and Hired it. Even then, however, it w’as not believed that she was trying to kill herself, but the sad sequel which took place yesterday makes everyone believe that she had attempted to take her own life the day before, and had only been prevented from doing so' by her lack of skill in managing firearm. Yesterday, howevor, she become fa tally skillful, and placing thfi muzzle of the revolver to her head she blew out her life. Her father, Mr, John Harris, is still living, and is deeply grieved at his daughter’s fatal act; She was a member of the Methodist church, and will be buried to-day at Bethlehem church. A host of sympathizing friends are mourning with the bereaved husband. From later accounts we learn that Mrs. McLocklin’s deed, though the act of an insane woman, was evidently well thought out, for just before committing the deed she went into the house, made up the bed, put everything nicely to rights, and in fact left nothing for her friends to do but to take charge of her dead body. Having straightened everything she took the pistol, went into the yard and killed herself. mmi mm but little, the charter being the only try throughout its entire length, and . . , , , will have connections at several points thing of much value, borne gentleman o n j t8 j| ne ^ ^ we jJ a8 a t Atlanta, with or company with means shonld pur-1 independent railroads and systems, . v .. .. . .
