Baldwin, Describes tlio Fijflil to ti
Time* Reporter?A Number injured.
One of Whom v. in Probably Die.
William <L Baldwin, the famous de?
tective of the coal fields, was in the
city yesterday and told tin; story of
I the terrible fight which took place
among the miners at Blue Sio'i"
Junction on the Fourth of July.
The miners were given a holiday on
the Fourth and illicit whisky ilowdd
as freely as water. At Blue Stone
nearly three hundred negroes had
gathered. They wont up On the
train over the Norfolk and Western
road. The train, besides the negroes,
carried up a Dumber of Hungarian
miners, and the two parties engaged
in a free Qght. An Hungarian bad
his throat cut, and this serious result
quieted tin-1110 bfora time. The man
mav die.
When the train reached Bramwell,
the trouble broke out afresh, and one
of the hi HXlest lights ever seen in West
Virginia, to< k place. Mr. Baldwin's
detectives were called to the rescue
by Conductor Burger, and they re?
sponded nobly. They attempted to
arrest the two ringleaders of the
rioters, and the mob charged them.
Then a hand to hand encounter be?
tween and negroes detectives com?
menced.
Baldwin and his men used their
stout clubs freely and knocked down
nine or ten of the mob. Soon lire?
arm.-? began to be used. Detective
Baldwin was en! through the coat
and vest. He thereupon drew his re?
volver and shot Ins assailant twice,
both balls taking effect in the right
arm. Detective Campbell was hit in
the side by a pistol hall, Jbut not se?
riously wounded. Robertson, another
officer, had his hand broken.
A number of citizens of Bramwell
came to the rescue, and thus rein?
forced the squad of officers, and suc?
ceeded in (illing the jail with the
most dangerous of negroes. The mob
was then dispersed.

A syndicate, composed of Messrs. J.
H. Sands. James S. Simmons, C.
O'Leary, M. M. Rogers and A. S. As
berry, of Roanoke,have taken *700,t>00
worth of stock in the RiVermont Com?
pany. This amount was all the stock
not already alloted to various places
and in the hands of agents and others
who held short options therefor. This
virtually secures th? placing of every
dollar of stock. All stock was with?
drawn absolutely from Lynchburg,
and any one here desiring stock maj?
or may not secure it from agents else?
where". The gentlemen who compose
the syndicate are well known as
among the shrewdest and best busi?
ness men of Roanoke, and their tak?
ing so much stock gives assurance that
the 6tock is not only very desirable,
but that with such enterprise, capital
and foresight that these gentlemen
are noted for, Ri Vermont will at once
take a front rank among the greatest
and hest enterprises of Virginia.

Virginia's Freak of Xntnrc.
Saxdidgkb, Va., July 5;?Colonel
Thomas d. Woods, who lives in Ani
herst county, Va.., has in his poultry
yard a hen that is truly a freak of na?
ture. The hen is now about live years
old. She grew up to be perfectly
black. When two years old, however,
white feathers began to make their
appearance. They continued to in?
crease until she became perfectly
white. She remained white nearly
two years when black feathers again
began to appear. They have increased
in number, and there is now no doubt
that she will again be perfectly black.
This seems to be a remarkable case,
and is, perhaps, without a precedent.
