in a fight at Woodland Park on
Wednesday last.
'in i hat day a party of nogroescol
lected there and Lindsay got into a
dispute with another negro whom hi
did not know and a fight ensued, dnr
ing which Lindsay was struck on tin
head with, either a rock or a piece of
iron and received a severe scalp
wound. He called on Dr. Lei
Buckuer who dressed the wound, and
the man at once began to improvi
and did not go to bod on account ol
it On Saturday afternoon lie wat
seized withconvulsionsandln a few
minutes became unconscious and
never rallied. Coroner Gray was sum
moued and Sunday evening t lie fo!
lowing jury was summoned :
T. 'I'. Powell, foreman; P. H. Petz
old, W. R Hell. G. W. Sisler, John H
Peyton and Walter H. Teenier. After
the examination of several witnesses,
the jury adjourned until 11 o'clock
yesterday morning to meet at the of?
fice of Dr. Gray, nothing having been
accomplished The adjournment was
made in ordei that a post mortem ex?
amination might lie held. Dre. Stone
and Fiery conducted i he autopsy and
at 11 o'clock gave the result to the
jury. They found a few clots ol
blood in the frontal sinuses and
some inflammation of the mem?
branes of the brain in the
lower portion of the head. They did
not think that this was sufficient to
cause death, hut gave it as their opin?
ion that the spinal accesory hail been
injured and also that the pharyngeal
and pneuinogastic ii"rves had received
a shock. This was what they
thought produced death.
After a short conference the jury
brought in the verdict that "the de?
ceased came to hi.-death from injur?
ies inflicted by n Munt instrument in
the bauds of an unknown person."

The latest and most promiHi'ng
scheme for bringing the natural and
industrial resources of this section to
t he attention of thejeountry is a propo?
sition to hold, in one of the great
northern cities,an exposition made up
of southern exhibits.
This scheme, as wo understand it,
has been suggested and will be set on
foot by progressive southern manu?
facturers. One of the projectors in
quoted as saying that the people of
the south propose to make anorthem
pilgrimage, carrying the products of
the soil, mines, factories and forests
to show what the south in doing.
Such an exposition, well organized
so as to cover the industrial south in
all departments, and fairly well man?
aged, would do a great deal of good.
If it is organized at all, it should be
on a scale proportioned to its impor?
tance. By thus invading tin.- north
with an exhibition of its products and
resources, the south would attract the
at tent ion of thousands of capitalists
and investors who have neither tIn?
time nor the inclination to visit the
various local exhibit ions t hatare held
annually in t he south.
The exposit ion proposed by Vice
President Eddy to be held in this city
in ls!)2 would be a sort of forerunner
of this. |It would be a nucleus around
which the other might be formed, und
thus Virginia would already be pre
pared with an exhibit that could Bur
pass any that might bo gotten up
hurriedly. The exposit inn could be
loaned for a short time and thus two
ends arrived at?two birds killed with
ime stone.

Long before the hour appointed for
the parade the streets through whii
it was to pass were thronged witl
hildren and their mothers, not les
inxious t hau the little ones, probably
to see the show. They stood on th

limbed upon the tree boxes, and seat

It was a called meeting of the City
Council, and the following members
were present: Messrs. Buckner,
Graves, Hanthorn, Moomaw, McCon

Trout.
The Object for which the meeting
was called was the consideration of
the overhead bridge question. A com
tuuuication from Genera! Manager

Mr. Sands said that Assistant Kngi

the work, which estimate accompan
the communication. Th
possessed orders not to allow anyone
to ride on his train, was accosted by
one of them not long ago and asked
that he be allowed to ride to a
certain station. The conductor
refused, but the man told such
a pitiful tab; of woe that
the conductor was touched. He told
him that he had a mother lying at the
point of death and he told how she
had begged to see him once more and
that his only wish was tobe by her
bedside before she passed away. He
allowed tin' moneyless man to ride on
his train and his surprise can be
imagined when a few days afterwards
he was summoned to appear before

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Midway Iron Company, which has
for its purpose the manufacture of
railroad spikes and small iron, met at
the office of Tavenner i: Airheart la
night and organized with the follow?
ing officers:
President, Con. O'Leary; vice-pre
ident. J. F. Christian; secretary and
treasurer, E. A. Cole; directors, K
W. Davis, of Pittsburg. Pa.; W. M
Chatham, W.W. Dunlop.J. V. Taven?
ner, and M. M. Rogers.
This company will commence the
erection of their works at once on the
site donated to them by the Midway
Land Company in the eastern suburb
of the city, and will employ from
to 100 skiiled workmen whose average
wages will be $2 .50 per day.
This will be of incalculable benefit
to Roanoke and give quite a boom
to property in the eastern part of the
city. The" Midway Land Company
has shown a commendable policy in
offering inducements to this plant
and securing it on its property.

It is worth remembering that no
newspaper is printed especially for
one person. People who become
greatly displeased with something
they find in a newspaper should re?
member that the very thing that dis?
pleases them is exactly the thing that
will most please somehody that has
just as much interest in the paper as
they have. It takes all kinds of peo?
ple to make a world, we are told, and
the patrons of a newspaper are made
up of the elements of the world. A
man may have a dislike for tabacco,
but he is not foolish enough to com?
plain of his groceryman because he
keeps it for sale.

washington, May 19.-Today in
the supreme court an opinion on the
famous Virginia coupon case? was
rendered by Justice Bradley.
The opinion-was against the State
in the suits'brought by Messrs.Cooper,
Bryan, McGabey, Ellett, Brown
and Cuthbert. Two other c*ses were
decided in favor of the State as against
the coupon holders, but these were on
special grounds.

law passed with the idea of prevent?
ing coupon hoiders from compelling
the State to accept coupons in pay?
ment of taxes.
Carlisle'* East Appearance.
By United Press.
WASHINGTON, May 19.?Senator
elect Carlisle, appeared in the House
today for the first time since he left
Washington to attend the funeral of
the late Senator Beck.
Mr. Carlisle is expected to make his
last effort in the House on Wednes?
day, closing the tariff debate for the
Democrats. He will have but five
minutes under the rules, but if he ar?
rives in time, unanimous consent will
be asked that he be allowed to speak
without limit. It is hardly possible
that any member will object to this,
in view of the uniform courtesy shown
to every one by Speaker Carlisle when
presiding over the House, and the
lact that his remarks will be a sort of
valedictory. Mr. Carlisle is already
prepared.
