Arl. 5.on;; lo Sic Keinem? bcred. A Qrenl occasion. The Roanoke Light Infantry are rapidly making the necessary pre? parations for their trip to Richmond, where they will participate in the ceremonies incident to the unveiling of the l.ee statue. With new uniforms, which Will soon be ready, new guns now on their way ant! a good de?! of easn in their in? side pockets, tin- boys expect to hare a most eujoyublo trip. They will be drilled regnlarly for some time before tin y leave for Richmond and confid? ent Iy expect to make t he finest appear? ance of uny troops present. There is a rumor to the effect that the Jell Davis Rifles, of Salem, a Lynchburg company and the Infantry will join forces ninl go together, but it L-auuoi be authenticated. If they decide on t his, the corps will be bound to cam off t lie honors of the day. The statue is now in Richmond and a correspondent thus writes of its ar? rival: Richmond nevt r witnessed or par? ticipated in such a scene as tire cere? monies incident to the removal of the fcr cks containing the equestrian statue of Gen. lioja-rt K. Lee from the railway station lo Allen plat, where the statue is tobe erected. Shortly ifter 5 o'clock Wednesday evening tin- procession was formed with a hquad of policemen in front, followed by t 'Im i Marshal Thomas A. Branner, and assistants, mounted. Then came the Lee Camp ol Confederate Veter an*, under whose auspices the re? moval was made, followed by the old veterans' organizations. Immediately behind them came the four t rucks in siugle tile, with men, women and childen tugging at the mpes. The route of the procession, which was about one and a half miles in length, was down Broad street to First, through First to Franklin, out Franklin to the point of destination. The line ol march was literally [?acked witli people from starting point to finish, while the cheering and waving of liar's was continuous. Here and there grown people would drop out of tlie line ami a rush would la- made to till their places. The boys and some of the girls, however, kept their places on the ropes to the end. At Mouroe Park, which was the best vantage ground along the route of the procession, the ropes were <?<? crowded with people that they wer? .istautly trending ou each other's !;. i !.-. As they passed the park there were five hundred grown ladies and girls whose fair hands held the mpr< Little tots were carried out into the streets in their mot hers' arms|and their small hands placed upon the ropes. When the destination whs reached there was a scramble by relic hunters for the ropes with which the trucks had been drawn, and despite the efforts of the police they succeeded in cutting them all to pieces. But for a guard of old veterans, th- boxes con? taining the statue would have shared the same fat- All the trucks were bandsomelv decorated with pictures r?f General Lee,and flags of th? South? ern States, while here and there a Confederate battle flag floated to the breeze. A Si i s<; A 1.1. A VI no its K. He Throws Ills Mistress lo i lie Itoitcl ami Mm- Has a Severe Shock. Mi-s Louise Chapman met. with a painful, but not very serious accident, yesterday afternoon. Accompanied by a lady friend, she went out for a horseback ride. The two ladies rode down Jefferson into Campbell and then crossed the railroad, going up the steep incline past the Roanoke Rolling .Mill. .Just at this point a couple of dogs ran from the yard of a house in the vicinity and jumping up at the heels of the horse, barked furiously. The animals became frightened and start? ed off on a run Bliss Chapman's horse reared, and though she is a line horsewoman, she was unseated and fell heavily to the ground. A buggy in which was seated Cap? tain J. iL Wingateand Mr. J. F. Christian chanced to pass just at. this time and the gentlemen hastened to the young ladies assistance. She was astisted in the vehicle and carried to her home. Dr. St John was called in. Be said that Miss Chapman was not badly hurt, but was much shaken up by her fall. They Look Ut'forc Leaping. At no time in the history of Vir? ginia, says the New York Times, lias there been such promise of the in vest? ment of an immense amount of foreign and other outside capital in develop? ing the State's mineral resources as now. An English syndicate 's at this moment sending geologists to examine certain mineral properties in South? western Virginia for the purchase of which they have secured an option with a view to the investment of $1,-100,000, should the report of the ex? perts be favorable. Trnc V.'orUs f rom John. "To discontinue an advertise? ment, " says John Wanamaker, ''is like taking down your sign. If you want to do business you must let, the | public know it. Standing advertise? ments are better and cheaper than reading notices. They look more sub? stantial and business like, and inspire confidence. I would as soon think of doin-r business without clerks as with? out advertising." ABOUT THE HOTELS. I It. is seldom that Roanoke has so !distinguished a visitor as Admiral Franklin. We have plenty of capi? talist financiers and promoters, but not often a great soldier or sailor. Admiral Franklin is at the Hotel Roa'noko. lb-is a tall distinguished I looking man, and he has interests in the Norfolk and Western. One of these days he will perhaps be the head of the United States navy, for he is in the direct line of promotion and is one of its most popular and valuable officers. He lives in the fashionable West End of Washington, when he is not "sailing the bright blue sea" and his family are promi? nent in social circles. ()f course, the Admiral likes the Southwest, and thinks it has a irrcat future before it. Kveryhodv seems to be agreed upon that. * * J< hn Iloyt is tin? name of a young man with bright bine eyes and a blonde moustache. And his eyes are no: thr only bright thing about him. He is perhaps the youngest manager of a theatre in Virginia or the South, haying charge ol the opera bouse of Danville, one of the best appointed pluces of amusement in the State, lie is fully abreast of the times and is looking at the Southwest section for outside parties who are thinking of investing. ?? # Col.

Colonel Smith was, under President Cleveland, a United I States Jndge in New Mexico. He hat a bl own beard slightly sprinkled with gray, and wears a silk hat. A Virginia gentleman of tin- old scbool is William A. Glasgow, who was in the city a couple of days ago. lie now lives in Lexington, which dis? trict he long represented in the Vir? ginia Senate He lived at one time mar Roanoke and knew tin- place when it was nothing more than a meadow, and cattle browsed where busy Salem avenue now is. Mr. Glasgow spent tin- day in walking about the city with' bis friend Mr. Callahan. "lean hardly grasp the fact that this city stands on the spot where I once hunted ducks." he said. "It seems like a dream to. me ami ??very moment 1 think that 1 will wake up to And the woods ami mead? ows here again. The story of Roan? oke. when it is written, will read like a romance.

In the afternoon Smith ami Jones became involved in a difficulty with the two witnesses who appeared against them in the morning. With? out any preliminaries the attacked party proceeded to "do 'em up," to use the language of the street. An extra session of fhe police court was held at 4 o'clock to accommodate the b'hoys, who plead guilty and the voice of Acting Mayor Evans ran out in stentorian tones: "Three dollars and co;-ts.
