Mr. Tamplin Identifies Him as Ogden The Itcnl OkiIi'h'k Mother anil Krothor Not Certain?Hilft", the Brother of <>b<Ipii's Victim Asserts That Wingo Ik Not Ogden. Yesterday afternoon the coroner's jury in the ease of .lohn Ogden, other? wise Richard Wingo, found dead last Saturday morning, rendered a verdict that the deceased cam:.' to his death from causes unknown to the jury. This case has been surrounded with mystery and pregnant with surprises sineo tho body of the young English? man was found crouched upon the porch attached to the dwelling or F. H. Yard ley, Fourth avenue n. w., at 5:2"i Satur? day morning', at which place he had been loft by William Danfelt and I). II. Keller at !i o'clock the night before, ap? parently in a drunken condition. It was suspected at first that, he had been murdered, and the coroner was summoned Saturday morning to inqulro into the death, at which it was devel? oped that the man was known as Rich? ard Wingo: that he had been hired by the American Ilridge Works to go to work the day before, but instead of re? porting for duty, had gone upon a spree. Tho first sensation was followed by a greater one when tho points of resem? blance! between the dead stranger and the description of the man .lohn Ogden, who had killed Samuel llulfin Flipping, Wednesday evening. 'This necessitated the adjournment, of the inquest until Monday, and in the meantime the au? thorities of I Irani well were communi? cated with, and they telegraphed for Oliver Tamplin, who had known .lohn Ogden, to view tlx* corpse. This Mr. Tamplin did yesterday, and he immedi? ately identified Richard Wingo as Og? den. When tho coroner's jury met yester? day morning it was for the purpose of rendering- a verdict on the testimony therein, but a statement by .lohn Ar- ? nott created another sensation and, resulted in a hasty recalling of some of the witnesses of Saturday and the sum- I moning of a few others. Arnotl said in substance that he was compelled to state that William Danfelt, tho witness who so abruptly departed Saturday night after giving the evi? dence accredited to him in Sunday's edition, had confessed to having struck j Wingo and knocked him down on Sat? urday night. Ho was thereupon recalled, and tesli fled in substance as follows: About 10 o'clock Danfelt came to his (Arnott's) room and said to A., in the prosence of Albert Mae fee and Jerry Casey: " What in h?1 do you think I have done.' Do you know the Englishman who got the | running of my machine at the Ilridge Works? Well, I filled him with whisky this evening, anil I hit him a slap in the neck and he fell down on the bar- I room (loor, and wo had to carry him home. On the way there he fell dow n, and 1 pouredoa pint of whisky on 'iis ! head and then carried him to Vardley's. ; where he said he boarded." Ar nott also said that Danfelt had told him t he Englishman said he had a pis- j tol on him, and would shoot any man . who insulted him. and. further, that he | (Danfelt) was afraid of him (Wingo). Arnott, In answer to a question by the coroner as to why he had not made this statement to the jury <>n Saturday, said that he did not know the case was going to be so serious, it possibly not oc? curring to him that, the case as far as | this mundane sphere was concerned, j was as serious for the subject of the in? quest its it could well be. I). II. Keller was recalled, but said he did not see Danfelt strike Wingo. but that the latter couple was behind him on Railroad avenue, on the way to llern don & Robert's store: Keller did not be? lieve Danfelt struck him. although he did see tho Englishman's head bathed by Danfelt. which bathing be located at the store. A number Of other witnesses corro? borated the statements of Keller and Arnot t, and then Dr. Ruckner was re? called, who testified that as opium was the only poison which could produce the symptoms indicated by the testimony to havo been Wingo's condition when he was left on Mr. Yardley's porch, and as opium and alcoholic, poisoning were so similar on the human system, an auto? psy would reveal nothing definite as be? tween the two, he would not state posi? tively which of the two causes produced death, but that it was Iiis opinion that death was due to alcoholic poisoning or apoplexy. The jury were then given the case and rendered the following verdict: ??That deceased, known here as Rich? ard Wingo, came to his deat h from some cause unknown to the jury, and that, from the testimony before us. wc iden? tify the said Wingo as John Ogden." This somewhat unsatisfactory verdict brought the case up to last night, when three persons came down to Roanoko from Flipping. These were Mrs. Martha Ogden. Thomas Ogden. moi..er and brother of the murderer of Samuel lluir. and .las. 11. Huff, brother of the latter. The trio repaired to the undertaking establishment of Oakcy & Woolwinc, on tho second floor of which lay strethed tho form of the dead man, an uncanny sight, in the dim light. Mot her and brother viewed the form in silence for a moment and without agitation. Their identification was an unsatisfactory one. the mother, who had not. seen her boy for ten months, saying that it, looked like her son. but she w as not prepared to swear to it. the son veering between two opposite opinions, uncertain and unwilling to adhere to either. .lames II. MulT. on the other hand. >KE, VA., TUESDAY JV was emphatic in his declaration that the deceased was not the slayer of his brother, and avowed his willingness to swear to that fact. Tho general concensus of opinion, however, is that tho identification by Oliver Tainplin was conclusive, in that it was made before the corpse had changed much from his natural looks, while it was admitted on all sides that a considerable change had boon effected in the last twenty-four hours. Mrs. Ogden signified her intention of remaining in the city and attending the burial of the remains, which will take place in the morning at the City Come tery, she having no means with which to perform tho last rites herself. Huffs positive opinion that the de dec eased Englishman leads to one query which tho authorities should make, as follows: There is a dead stranger who gave his name as Richard YVingo, and was indifferently identified as John Og? den; if tho dead man was not John Og? den, who was Richard Wingo, and where aro his friends? dr. p arsons home. After n Week of Pleasure In Several Cities. Dr. K. A. Parsons, who had been to Alexandria, Washington and Baltimore on a pleasure trip of a week, returned Saturday night. ^ A Tim ks reporter approached him with eagerness yesterday, hoping to get a long interview, and to hear of many new industries that were come ti> Roa? noko by reason of the doctor's visit. ??I have been away to have a good time," said he," and cannot tell you much, but you can say if you want to, that everywhere 1 have been the people express the most utmost confidence in the future growth of Roanoko. They are always anxious to meet a Roanoker, and eagerly ask questions about our wonderful city." While the doctor was away for pleas? ure he lost no opportunity to put in a good word for Roanokc. 11c carried with him a lot of the Commercial Club pamphlets on Roanokc, gotten up by Mr. Iliiuon Helper, the former secre? tary of tho club, and left them in many places where they will help Roanoko. The doctor witnessed the launching of Freyor's new cigar shaped boat at Hal t im ore Thiirsilay.whieb.it is claimed, will cross the Atlantic in four days. The boats looks more like a 1'ullman Sleeper than a steam ship. The advan? tages claimed for it. are greater speed on account of its narrowness, and more safety, it being constructed so that its center of gravity is several inches below the water. It. carries only passengers and baggage. Till'. It. A s. DEPOTS. Work on ttic Fouddntlong Reiruii Yester? day.

Fine Facilities nnd Grout Demand for Their Products -Tim Time?' Suggestion WoU Taken, and Will Hoar Fruit. Uoanoake will add at least two more classes of industry to her present num? ber if the expressed determination of I her enterprising merchants and other citizens can be carried into effect. TllE Timks yesterday sent out a re? porter to ascertain the views of a few of Ronnoke's representative men on the proposition to establish a cotton mill and stove works. From the few short talks below it will be gathered that there is but one opinion upon the sub? ject, and that is that both industries would make money and add much to tho < commercial standing of the city, at the j same time increasing the labor market, j In the case of a cotton mill, there was a general expression of opinion that it j would provide employment for females. ? something much to be desired, as there is at present hut few Holds open to this class of labor.' Mr. Chalmers, of the firm of Evans & Chalmers, dealers in hardware, was em? phatically of the opinion that the pro? jects would he of great advantage and gain to the city. The stovo works particularly would Im profitable from the start. "Wo have almost daily calls I from various parts of Southwest Vir- i ginla for stoves and kitchen utensils," ; said he. -'vast quantities of which arc daily sent here from Richmond. Tho 1 citizens should take immediate steps to , induce the starting of the stove works. I "Cotton mills would also he a gain to Roanoke. in that it would provide em? ployment for (eranlesand young persons ' generally for whom there is no present | employment. There tire now two mills ' in Danville, each returning a liberal j interest on the capital invested.*' .1. R. ITockaday said that it is most important to start stove works at, once. Nothing, in his judgment, would return a larger prellt on the amount invested. Two car-loads of stoves come weekly to Roanoko, and the demand for them has j just begun. Tin- cotton factory idea is ! also a good one. Mr. Illcronlmus, of the Rrm of Hie- | ronimus & llrugh, dry goods and no- j lions, thought the merchants of the ? city should interest themselves in the matter of cotton mills and should be i willing to attest their faith in its suc? cess by * subscribing to its stock: they should appoi.. eommittess to confer, with capitalists on the subject. Mr. Johns tone, of the firm of Rrown, I ?lohnstono & Co.. hardware and ugri- | cultural implements, thought both pro? jects would pay, and should be striven for. lie. also, wished to see female labor provided with employment. "In the North." he said, "women sometime are half the money producers through mill work." Mr. Snyder, of the firm of Kassier, , Snydor & MacRaln, dry goods, held the same general views as the others. He thought the merchants would take stick. He urged action and Indorsed the stand of The Times. Mr. l'.aker. of Raker & Markloy, real estate, thought the merchants, rather than ibi' real estate men. should agitate the matter, but was willing himself to j co-operate to the extent of his ability. I Hofh enterprises were good ones, and be had no doubt they would prove paying invest mcnts. Rosenbaum P.rothers were heartily in favor of anything which would bring ' more people to Roanoke. and provide a 1 diversity of employment, be it large or small, and particularly were they im- | pressed with the necessity of urging ; the establishment of a cotton factory here. Six years ago this firm subscribed | to the stock of a projected cotton mill. | and stand ready to do so again. Mr. P. R. Kempsaid: ''Roanoke does not feel jealous of the smaller towns, and wishes to see them get along, as all of them near her increase Roanoke's im? portance, but, our city needs to be more vigilant, or it will allow tho energetic smaller towns to absorb much that should come here. No doubt exists j in my mind that both enterprises would ; pay. and they should be striven for. Roanoko is the best point, in the South to-day and is still growing, but no offort should be rolaxed in Booking to diversi? fy and increase her industries." Races at Elizabeth.

PI IMPOKTANT CASK DKCIDKD. Messrs. Pntterson ami Ilunlap Get a ?IhtmI sonic Marble Property. An important case in which Roanoke parties are Interested was decided in the Court of Appeals at Richmond last week, giving the defendant possession of a largo tract of fine marble land near Pincastle. Several years ago Mr. Samuel F. Pa> terson. of this city, purchased the prop' city at an auction sale, it being sold for i debt. Mr. W. II. Figgort, a prominent ; lawyer of Pincastle, had a claim against the estate, from which the property was sold. Ho raised the bid of Mr. Pat? terson after the court, which had de? creed the sale, had also confirmed it. Suit was instituted by Mr. Figgort. and the same court set aside the sale. The defendant appealed, the final de? cision being in his favor. There are '.'00 acres in the tract, and it contains large quantities of lino black marble and lithographing stone, which has been thoroughly tested and proven to be of the finest quality. City Engi? neer Dunlap owns an interest in the property, which he purchased from Mr. : Patterson, but the suit was conducted in the lattor's name. Ho was represented i by Messrs. Penn & Cocke, of this city. At the time the original sale was made the vast quantities of valuable stone had not been discovered, and it was obtained at so low a price that the j gentlemen interested have a bonanza if a railroad A over built to Pincastle. They are interested in the valley ex- ? extention of the Baltimore and Ohio road along the proposed Pincastle route. A GKORGIA TKAflKOV. Five Men Arrested ?>n the Charge <?i Con? spiracy.

VVasuinotoS) I). C. Sow 10.?fiSpe? I olal]?Tho Supremo Court-of the UaitedL States, in an oninion rendered by Jus? f tioo Field to-day, in thw case of l*. Crowley. ehief of police of San Fr"*n cisco, Cal., appellant, vs. Feury Christ ! tensen, reversed an order of. the United States Circuit Court for ti e Northern district of California discharging Chris tensen on a writ of habeas corpus. This is a liquor license ease, and ir*its opin? ion the court broadly lays down certain fundamental principles affecting tho relation, in which this business mad laws of the country stand to each other. Christenson for several years con? ducted a retail liqlior store, but in 188!? his application for a renewal of his license was refused by the police com? missioners of San Francisco, in whom a municipal ordinance vested discretion to grant or refuse licenses for saloons, the refusal being based on the ground of the bad repute in which his place stood. Thereupon Christemsen did busi? ness without, a license and was arrested, lie sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and the United States Circuit Cowrtor dered his discharge from custody on tho ground that tho ordinance made Chris tenson'S business depend upon the arbi tray will of others, and in that respect denied him equal protection of law. In its opinion, by Justice Field, tho court says: "It is undoubtedly true that it is the right of every citizen to pursue any lawful business, subject only to such restrictions as are imposed upon all per? sons of the same age, sex or condition. Hut the possession and enjoyment of this right, and indeed of all rights, aro subject to such restrictions as may bo deemed by the governing authority of. the country essential to safety, health, peace ami good order and morals of a. community. liven liberty itself is not. an unrestricted lice use to act according; toone's own w ill, h is only freedom from restraint under conditions essen? tial to the eqmil enjoyment of the. saino right by others. It is then liberty re? gulated by the law." Tin1 position is- oCton taken, says the court, that there is something wrong in the principle of applying restrictions to tln> business of selling by retail intoxi? cating liquors. It is agreed that, as liquors are used as a beverage and that injury following '.hem if taken in ex? cess, is voluntarily inflicted and is con lined to the party offending, then their sale should be without restrictions, it being contended that, what man shall drink ? equally w ith what, he shall eat? is not. properly a matter for legislation. There is in this position an assumption of fact which does not, exist: That when liquors are taken in excess injuries aro conlined to tho party,offending. 'I he injury, n is true, first falls upon him in his health, which the habit un? dermines: in his morals, which It weakens, und In self-abasement, which it creates. Hut their use leads to ne? glect, of business and waste of property an I g? nernl demoralization; it affects those who are immediately connected w ith and dependent upon him. Ily a general uoncurrenco of opinion of every civilized and Christian commu? nity, there are few sources of crime and misery to society equal to tho dram shop where intoxicating liquors in small qantities to bo drunk at. the time aro sold indiscriminately to all parties ap? plying. Statistics of every Statt? show that, there is a greater amount of crime at t ributable lo this than any other source. The sah- of such liquors in this way has therefore, been at all times consid? ered a proper subject of legislative re? gulation. Cor that matter, their sale by the glassmaj be prohibited. It is a, question of public expedience and public morality, and not of Federal law: tin ?v is no inherent right of a citizen to sell intoxicating liquors by retail: it is not a privilege of the citizens of a State, or of the citizens of tho United States. In Hie prohibition or regulation of this tralllo, discretion may lie vested in an officer to decide to Whom to grant and to whom refuse, liquor liceu-.es. Otttcors may not always exercise the power conferred upon them with wisdom or justice to the parties atTooted, but this is a matter which does not affect tho authority of a State, or one which can bo brought under the* cognizance of the United States courts The court says; that it does not per? ceive that the ordinance under which the prisoner was arrested violates any provision of tho Federal Constitution or laws, and that as to the state constitu? tion and laws, it is bound by tho decis? ion of the State supremo court that the* ordiuanee does not violate them. The order discharging the prisoner from custody is therefore reversed, and the case remanded, with directions Us take further proceedings in conformity with this opinion of the court.
