An iiitercsMiijr Interview with Col.:
Crank II. Frie?, rrohiUenl of the
I
Virginia ami Xorlh Carolin? Con-I
?truciion Company.
Colonel Frank H. Pries, president
of the Virginia and North Carolina
Construction Company, wan in thecity
yesterday for the purpose of confer?
ring with the director^ of the Roanoke
and Southern railroad.
He is stopping at the Hotel Roanoke (
and a reporter of the fiaiKS had an
interesting interview vith him. The |
road nas been rapidb surveyed north
of Martin?vi de, and i renty-five miles ,
of it has been graded rom that town i
towards this citj . A arge i umher of
convicts, hired from the Stare, are 1
now at work on the line pushing it
with the utmost speed possible.
It is thouglit that within a day or 1
two work will be commenced near i
Roanoke but this has not b*en deft- <
nitely decided. The surveying party
is at work, however, SO as 10 be in 1
readiness should the company decide
to commence work on this end of the
road. ;
"Do you think the road will bu <
completed as tar as Winston by .June
1st. '02'.'" asked the Times man. '
"Yea I do," was the reply. "At the
present rate of progress 1 think we
will have no difficult; in finishing the
line between the two cities by th t
time."
Notwithstanding the published "
statements to that effect, Colonel
Fries denies emphatically that a site
for the station has been selected ixi ,
Roanoke. None has yet been pur- j
chased, andjthe reports put in circula?
tion have been but the flimsy fabric (
of thereal estate agents imagination.
The citizens of Rocky Mount re ;
cently subscribed $20,UC0 to the road, J
but i* is doubtful whether or not it ,
will avail them anything. They wani
the road to pass their iron mines and
their enterprising Hide town, but ,
Colonel Fries says that this (
has not yet been decided. The ,
road is built as far as j
Franklin at this time and the Rocky
Mount people are sure that it will |
come to them, it is to be hoped that ,
it will, but the matter ?vill have to go ?
before the board of directors before a '
decision is reached.
It is thought that the road will not '
lind its final rerminus at Winston. A
number of enterprising towns in both
North and South Cor.- ina ai >? bidding .
for the road and several enthusiastic ?
me ting have been held in these place- (
All ot these towns are south of
Winston. Charlotte ^antsthe ten..,
nus. go dues Spart&usburg, S. C
Wadesboro wants it by one of two
routes, and willing to issue bonds.
The citizens of this enterprising
town think that the. road will read
t hem either by way of High Point, o. ;
Lexington. Monroe, N. C, has also
put in a bid and is working hard.
The routes to these various towns
are being studied by the promoters of
the road, and as yet no action has
been taken. The information con?
tained in this article may bo depended
upon as the very latest news of the <
Roanoke and Southern. !
An { alia??>:>> Lpittop?-. <
Yesterday evening, a horse belong?
ing to Mr. Junias Fisliburrfc, of Tin
Citizens1 Bank, which w:is tied tc> a
post near the corner of JeiTc-rsor
street aud Salem avenue, go*
his hind leg tangled up with a
passing dray wagon propelled by
a mule. A hind wheel of the dray
came off, a shaft was broken, and tin
horse's leg considerably hurt. The
driver, a rural youth of tender years,
became overwhelmed with pathos
and shed tears profusely, and did not
cease to weep until a compassionate
colored man mended the vehicle with
wires aim leather strings sufficiently
for it to resume its journey. Th"
mule and yellow dog, <-bich followed
the wagon, seem to be the on!/ disin
terested parties about the scene.
Rcculnr Serenade*.
The Roanoke Machine Works band
has concluded to give serenades once
a week for practice, and iustead of
playing at the stand as herefore at
Hotel Roanoke they will give a sere?
nade once a week in one or the other
of the wards This scheme promises
to be much more popular than con?
fining themselves exclusively to one
locality. According to the' present
arrangement nearly every one will be
able to hear some of the music, which
as everybody knov. s, is good when it
comes from the Macbino Works band
i Base Ball.
One of the most uninteresting
games of base ball of the season prom?
ises to be that this afternoon at Vin
ton between a picked nine of printers
from Hammond's, the Times and the
World, vs. a picked nine from the
Herald and the Bell Printing offices.
The winners will probably receive a
ball, bat and mask (if either win) and
bids for the burial of ~he umpire will
be duly advertised for. Three kegs of
beer have been ordere J, and four ex?
tra policeinao sworn in for the occas?
ion.
A Tf eero Suspected.
Mr. J. D. Bachman, of Pulaski, was
in the city laet night in conference
with Chief of Police Morris and sev?
eral local detectives with regard to
finding one or more negroes who are
suspected of burning the store of the
Orozer Iron Company, near that
place, last Tuesday night,and who are
thought to be here. The fire is thought
to have been of incendiary origin in
revenge for discharging several coi
pred employes there recently.

In the tare ul the commonwealth

The court overruled the motion and
sentenced the prisoner to the peni?

The gaine yesterday between the
Itn-ipoke? und the Aiex.-mdnas was
pitnessd by only a small crowd. The
Alexnudrias engaged the Roanoke
uattery for the occasion, Fitzhugh
pitch and Turner catch, to save, as
;hey alleged, their best battery for
rhis af'crnooij'c game. Roanoke,
ifter yesterday's exhibition, put in
.?heir weakest battery, und didn't use
my particular exertions to beat the
visitor , although they won-byaseore
)M7tol. Thy Alexandria boys say
they are going to put in a strong
battery today and giv? the Roanokes
l good game, which they will proba?
bly do. The features of the game
yesterday were nothiagiu particular,
ilthough the Roanokes did some
mighty good fielding when they had
a.nopportunity Thereason why the
contests haven't been closer this year
than last is because the Roanoke club
is unusually strong," and nothing

Deitlh of Dr. John S. Deyerle.
This well known cit izen of Roanoke
county, died at his late residence
about five inile6 west of Salem on Sat?
urday last, aged about 54 years
When in his prime, Dr. Deyerle was
a man of unusually ttrong and vigor?
ous mind, and was one of the most
popul.tr men in the county. When a
young man he graduated in his pro?
fession at both the Universities of Vir?
ginia and New York, but never prac?
ticed his profession with a view to
gain. After the war, he relinquished
it entirely save as a matter of
accommodation to his poor neigh?
bors, for which he made no charge.
Dr. Deyevle was for eight years
the treasurer of Roanoke county and
was l egarded as one oi the best in the
commonwealth. About two years
ago, he was stricken with paralysis or
softening of the brain, and was for a
season an inmate of the asylum, but
was sent home as beyond the reach of
human skill. For th^ past year be
has been at his home vhere he died as
stated. Dr. Deyerle was a man of
many fine impnhes, among which
chanty held a prominent place. In
the language of one of his old friends
in Salem, "he would give away any
thing he had." His checkered life is
ended, and he rests at last quietly in
the old family burial grounds, sur?
rounded by those who had preceeded
him to "that unknown country from
which no traveler returns."?TimeB

The Cool Wave.
A m^?t delightful cool wavo struck
Roanoke Thursday, and Thursday
night blankets were torced into re?
quisition. It was pn meditated a ad
announced by the weather bureau in
Washington, and was consequently a
great as well as a most delightful sur?
prise to every one. If it will only con
tinue we may expect an immediate
return of the business men who are
summering at the summer resorts.

Only Black Sbecp In the Family.
Tue People Indignant.
The notorious soap vender,who has
been plying Iiis vocation in this city
with unconstitutional cheek and vi?
vacity for some time, goes by the
name of either Haas or Harris, and
lias at last gotten into serious trou?
ble.
H" has been arourd Roanoke for
several weeks, offering to sell soap
which would clean the dirtiest of
clothes, and extract paint to perfec?
tion. He got a well known Lynch
burg jail bird to go in partnership
with him, and whenever business
was dull he would >vrap pieces of
money in packages of the soaps,
which the alleged disinterested party
would invariably draw, thus beguil?
ing the public.
Harris boarded at a house on Third
avenue, N. E., where a man named
Stanley also boarded, and Thursday
night the former, concluding that
Roanoke was tired of iiim, left on the
r> o'clock train going west, Stanley's
wife, by some miraculous code of pro?
priety, weht with him. When he
reached Christiansburg he and Mrs
Stanley left the train, and evidently
having a presentiment that he was
awfully hard up for money, entered
theoillceof the express agent, and
drawing a revolver, demanded the
keys to the safe. The agent accede?
to his wishes, and Harris got eight
dollars. Mrs. Stanley in the mean?
time wasdomiciled in a hotel in the
town. Harris went eight miles in the
country and stopped ever night at a
farm house, where he was
captured by the authorities
about :J o'clock yesterday
mornimr and brought back to Chris?
tiansburg and lodged in jail. The
people in that town hecaine very in
diguant over his conduct and threat?
ened for a time to lynch him.
Mrs. Stanley was weeping inconsol
ably at. the hotel at last accounts.
Harris claims to be of a most reputable
and distinguished family, and says he
is the only black sheep in it. Heat
once telegraphed to hi.i father at At?
lantic City io assist him out of the
scrape. The people of Christiansburg
are very indignant ovcr his presence
there, and the Roanoke citizens are
not sorry to see him leave.
The prisoner had $55 on his person
wh^n capt ured.
A NiiiKulnr Accident.
Train No. 4 was delayed several
hours yesterday by a singular acci
dent which occurred between this
city aud Salem. A venerable bovine
was viewing the surronnding coun
try from the summit of a tall and
^teep embankment, when the train
came rushing past, which so com
pletely upset her ner.ous system or
her somethingelse that the lost her
equilibrium and fell to the track.
Unfortunately for the railroad coiu
panv, tne cow and passengers, she
fell between the tend.,. cl the engim
ami the baggage car and was in
stantly killed. When the train wa*
Drought to a stand-still it was found
that the cow was so tightly wedged
in that she had to be chopped out in
pieecB by axes in the hauds of the
railroaders. Other cows in a field
near by, it is alleged, smelt blood, and
began to bellow with a vigor unpreee
dented in the history of Roanoke
county, and frightened the lady pas?
sengers very much.
Tho Paper Bac Factory.
An engine has been ordered for the
paper bag factory, frcm Wilmington,
Del., and is expected daily. The bag
machine was recently tested and gave
entire satisfaction, and the manufa-r
ture of paper bags, b, the Old Do?
minion Paper Bag factory of this city
will be commenced as soon as the
above-mentioned engine arrives. Tin
old Price tobacco factory has been
purchased for the site, and this is a
new industry which promises to give
employment to at least 100 women.
At the recent test the machine gave
such entire satisfaction that another
machine was ordered to be built at
once, and is now being erected at a
factory in Wilmington, Del., and
when this is put in operation the
capacity of the factory will be
doubled, with prospects of a stili
greater increase.
Homo for the Fatherless.
Two little children were placed at
the South View Orphan Home yester?
day by direction of Pastor Bushneil,
who is secretary of the board. Four
children from our city are now at the
home and the door is open wide for
others who may need such benevolent
care. This excellent home is a few
miles north of the city. Rev. W. S.
McClanahan, a Christian gentleman,
ie in charge and the orphans enjoy all
the healthful associations of his
cultured family. Information and
contributions fr?m the friends of this
good work may be given to the of?
ficers of the institution any time.

Sn[Ii Jones od I'ablic "den.
Rev. Sam Jones addressed an im?
mense audience at the prohibition
camp grounds at Moundsville, W.
Va., Sunday, touching up quite a
number of national characters in the
course of his remarks. Of United
States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quav, of Pennsy:,ania, he said:
"Talk about wi dcelness. Look at
Matt. Quay. There you iind it per?
sonified. Unless he repents he'd go
where the fire dieth not."
Turning his attention to President
Harrison, Mr. Jones said: "He's
small. I 6aw a pi stnre of him under
his grandfather's hat a few days ago.
They might have put the whole Har?
rison family under the hat and still
have had lots of room."
The Rev. Mr. Jones eulogized ex
President Clevelaud in picturesque
language, saying at one time:
"There's a man with a backbone as
big as that pillar there. If he hadn't
so much spine he might have been
President still."
In the Magic City.
S. Walter Harrell is in Roanoke,
where he is interested in the real es?
tate business. The Berald is glad to

Tlie Baltimore and Ohio Land Com?
pany, of Sulcni.
Offer 1,300 building lots for $150
each. Weekly payments of $1.50.
The Baltimore and Ohio Land Com?
pany, of Salem, Va., owning 227 acres
of land within half a mile of Salem,
Va., admirably lo.~a*ed for building
lots, have determined to offer 1.300
lots for sale at $150 each, including
corner lots, in the following manne.:
Lot clubs of 100 members each will
be formed. Each member thereoi
paying $1.50 per week or $6 per
month until $150 is paid. Each mem?
ber will draw for a lot at the regular
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until 100 lots arc
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots will get two lots each
instead of one.
The one drawing a, lot can at any
time pay up on his lot and get a deed
to it, as the company own their land
in fee simple; or he can pay one-third
cash, balauce in one and two years,
and the company will allow sucfijfcur
chaser 10 per cent, discount given on
his purchase.
A purchaser building, within six
months, a house costing not less than
$500, on his lot, will have a reduction
of 25 per cent, on his purchase, mak?
ing his lot cost 1112.50.
Several clubs will be organized in
this c'.ty, so that a member can join
one or more clubs, and draw in each
club weekly by the payment of one
dollar ami ($1.50) li'ty cents in each
club. No interest is charged on these
payments whatever.
The land has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially in the rear of
the Roanoke College, and half a mile
from the center of the town. Water
mains run through the land, *ide
walks are also contemplated, and
pleasant homes, clo^e to business,
could be erected at small cost, eithei
as a home for the owner or to rent
out, as houses are in great demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of smah
means to secure property constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
pay up on your lot after you have
drawn, by paying one-third cpsh.
balance in one and two years, or i-sh
whole, at any time you may elect
within US months, froj* the time you
joined the club, a:ju secure the re
dactions named above.
Every member most pay hi8*epklj
?lues before he will be allowed to par?
ticipate in any drawing. If absent, i
some one will draw for him, provided
his dues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, Put
go to Salem and see it tor yourself:
call on Mr. H. G. Brown, president of
the company, who wiil show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150. some few are 5 ).xl30. The lots are
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders it easy for the
men of small means to 6ecnre a home,
or make a paying im > stment, by the
expenditure of $1.50 per week. Salem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap
idly and presents more advantages foi
investment than any new town in the
State.
j Every working man, be his means
I large or 6mall, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who wish to secure lots in th<
j Baltimore & Ohio Land Company
should call on Messrs. Oscar D. Derr
& Co., the authorized agents for Roan
oke City, who will fudy explain the
manner of conducting the sale, ana j
can be found at their office from 8 a.
m. to 19 p. m.
There is no investment on which
one can realize so handsomely and at
so small a cost as to become a mem?
ber of the Baltimore & Ohio Lot
Clubs, unless it is to be a stockholder
in the Baltimore & Ohio Land Com?
pany. We cheerfully recommend
these lots to the public.
