ABOUT THE HOTELS.
Just at this season of the year, anil
in fact every- season, the hotels of
Roanoke are crowded with guests.
Many of them stop over here a few
days en route to the various moun?
tain resorts of the Southwest. They
have heard of Roanoke, and all of
them have a curiosity to see this
wonderful city which has sprang ap
here so suddenly at the gateway of
I the great mineral country of the
South.

Miss Hertha Von Hillern and Mi;s
Emma Howard Wright are both noi
unknown to the world of literature, i
They have contributed to almost
every field of literature, and their
sketches have, charmed an army of,
magazine readers. For the past few j
weeks they have been living at beau- J
tiful Luray, and c'oing their work i
surrounded[ by the grand scenery of
the historic Shenandoah Valley, and |
doubtless their writings for a long
time will be tinged with the ronianc i
that seems to hovor about the
crooked, silvery river and the cloud
crowned mountain-.. The two ladies
are inseparable com. mions, and wi I
make a t our of theS< ithwest country
together, Then the will j;o to tUo

Lieutenant-Governor J. Hose
Tyler's familiar fi^ti.--- was seen abou.
the corridors of the Hotel Roanokt
last night. He is a frequent visitor
to this city, where he has interests
No man is doing more in his wa\
towards the upbuilding of Southwest
Virginia today than is Governor
Tyler, and he is the master-spirit of .
large number of enterprises in this
section. The office of Lieutenant
Governor doesn't take up a great
deal of ones time, but then th<- salarj
is not large. Then- is more honoi
than money in the position.

has erected a string of commodious
hotels up and down the country now

and under Mr. Foster's management
have arrived at tin excellence ol
cuisine and managerut nt equal to thf

The engineers, undt. Chief Onder
dunk, had located the road to the
h?ad of Town Creek, a point ueat
the foot of Co<ks F-:iob, at Key-',
which it was thought would be the
line of road. It was found, however,
that when {hat point was reached
they were at an al titude of 109 feet
and that they had a v-. ry heavy grade
alltheway from Martinsville. Con?
sidering this fact, together with
the very heavy grade they had
to contend with they were ob?
liged to make an elbow of at
least two miles by this route by
Keys, and the further fact that a
quantity of heavy troweling had to
be done on the route. The engineers,
in casting about for a cheaper ana
better roiite, had the ^ood fortuno to
discover it. This rou'e lies between
the Bitch and Che?*nut mountains
and will throw the direct line of road
by way of Rocky Mou nt on an easy
grade and will, Major Onderdunk
6ays, save the compai'Kthousands of
dollars in cost of cerTsmtci ion ovei
the route by way of K^ys' and in ad?
dition will shorten the route four
miles. 4
This almost insure the road to

An Important Correction.
For a week or more past report
has been in circulation to the cirect
that Mr. 1). W. FHckAvir had resigned
his position as general superintendent
oi tin- Shenandoah \ alley railroad.
This is not a fact. Ou the contrary,
Mr. Flickwir is still the incumbent
of thatoflice, rn consequence of the
great increase in the business of the
road, it became necessary to separate
the management into two divisions,
tlw Qrst section l?t im* from Racers
twn to Milnes. and the second from
Milnes to Roanoke. By this action
flu- following change- were made:
Mr. J.W. Cook, the former train?
master of the road, was made train
master of the firs* division; Mr. T. S.
Bransford, formely auditor of the
road, was made trainmaster of the
second division; Mr. Walter Maedow
?!!. formerely chief clerk to Joseph
\V. Coxe, auditor of toe Norfolk and
Western railroad, was nnuh- acting

A t'(iiirn?rt<>rlstic Sketch at llic lit -
pet?Kicklue Ahoii. C'orueti?.
A Tim ES man took a drive, ye;
terday over ji part of the route of tha
dummy line to Salem with Mr. George
0. Houston, the contractor who is do?
ing the work.
In the last two wet ksgreat progress
has been made, and us soon as th s
rails arrive the work, will be pushed
forward with greatei vigor than ever.
The delay in the arrival <>r the iroji
from Johnstown litis ;>ut the COntrai -
tor to a good deal ol trouble. Fora
distance of two miles from Melros^
Driving Park the ties .are laid, and
for a mile the road is ballasted solidly
with rock. The road has been graded
some distance bey.aid the poiai
where the ties have been placed. Tin
rails are expected her:: tomorrow, and
the work of laying them will be com
menced at once. Carpenters are no>
busy preparing the heavy timbers fo ?
the bridges, and it will not belong
before the people o! Roanoke am
Salem will be able 10 call on each:
q}her any number of times they wish.
The scene of this little farce was ;u
the Union Denot, ate! the period yes?
terday evening just before No. I;
arrived. Officer W ire, tin; depo- j
policeman, was moving in three d:t
ferent directions at once to kee;
loafers of! the platform, and Join
Pack, the ticket aircnc. was so bus}
selling tickets .and answering ques
tions that the perspiration stood out
on bis forehead in great beads.
Presently there entered the recep?
tion room ;i six-foot colored woman
wearing a colored dress and colored
spectacles, and asked in the language
peculiar to a colored person:
"Say, Mr. Ticket Agent, what if
the fare to Salem?'*
"Twenty cents, second-class, am!
twenty-live first class. 1
"Well, den, what d<> it cost to go hi
de niggers car?*1
"Twenty cents.''
"How come datv Sarah Brown, dai
lives on Peach and Honey, sed she
didn't pay but ten cents when sin
went to Salem day "fo" yi-terday."
"Can't help what Sarah Brown
said> The fare is twenty cents."
"Dat's mighty precurious."
"1 guess 1 know more about thai
than you or Sarah Brown either.
The fare is twenty cents, and has
been that all the time."

The Washington correspondent ol

paper as follows: "Congressman Ed?

generally known as the ??farmer." if
in a peck of trouble today. He i.
short of stature, bt:. wide of girth,
and has great trouble in baying ;.:

only leg covering he wears in his pri?
vate room during the warm weather
that will lit him. Last week lie sent
out to his rural home an order to an
old seamstress there, who has hereto?
fore made his drawer.-, and who lias
pattern thereof, tor a supply. This
morning he was delighted at the re
ceipt of a bundle containing the de?
sired Jarticles; but when 1 e
opened it Ids jo*- was immed
lately turned to sorrow, for the old
woman referred to had made the u
out of the stamped n ninants of cot?

The streets yesterdt1 v presented an
unusually animated eppearance, due,
in pan to the usual :;alf holiday on
Saturday at the Roanoke machine|
works and in part to the number ol
country people in the city shopping
and laying iu domestic necessaries
The streets were thronged with people
all day. and the prettv women turned
out in full force to examine and in
vast in the latest ago:ies in the mil?
linery bazaars, and w. nt far toward
making Roanokes very unprepossess
ing thoroughfares pretty and attract
lye- to the masculine eye. It seemed
that all the wagons in the city wert
forced into requisition, and the baby
carriages also, and the rattle of wheels
over the macadam made one thick
about a metropolis like New York oi
Chicago. All the merchants seemed
to be doing a good bu; iness. andjndg
ing by appearances, yesterday was it
regular gala day iu trade circles.
Now and again a wail comes to this
offlce from some sufferer who has
been robbed of his rest by the cornet
fiend. There is no doubt but thai
there is justice in the claim of the
sufferer, and he should have relief.
Here is the latest:
Editor Times,
Lear Sir:?Would you kindly grant
space in your valuabie paper for tht
following:
Is tnere no redress for nuisances in
Roanoke? Are we poor mortals to br
tortured to death without a chance
to be saved? Wontth? proper author?
ities look after the individual who is
continually blowing on some interna1
instrument from mor-dng until night
and sometimes all n?ght, disturbing
the peace and quiet of Salem avenue
near the market.
"The individual referred to is located i
near an undertakers, and I am in?
clined to think it a scheme to increase
the business of that establishment.
If there waB any music in the instru?
ment it would be different, but he
sends forth such blood curdling
sounds that a person would gladlj
leave town to escape them.

bo^in yesterday to ply his vocation

started off with them- Booker rea died
Railroad avenue and ran to Wilnieth's
saloon, and turning down an-Hley,
came on throughl'oteet's bar toSalem
avenue. The officer was hot after
him. Deputy Constable Scott in the
meantime joined the officer in the
chase, and when Booker saw that he
was about to be overtaken, stopped
and tried to bluff somebody by pull?
ing a revolver. Sir. Scott then drew
a revolver aud tired into the crowd,
which h*d the effect of frightening
Booker so that he threw his shooting
iron to one side and started off again.
He was quickly captured and taken
to jail and will be given a trial 10

Offer 1,300 building lots for $150
each. Weekly payments of $1.50.
The Baltimore ami Ohio Land Com?
pany, of Salem, Va., owning 2*27 acres
of land within half a mile of Saiem,
Va., admirably located for building
lots, have determined to offer 1.300
lots for sale at $150 each, including
corner lots, in the following manner: I
Lot clubs of lOO in--.nbers eac h willl
I"- formed. Each a ember thereof!
payir* $1.50 per week or .fG per
mc.' until $150 is paid. Each mem- j
her t draw for a lot at the regular;
weekij. drawing, and one lor will bet
drawn every week until 100 lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
I he 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, balance in one and two ye irs.
and the company will allow such pur?
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 20 per cent, on hi.- purchase, mak?
ing his lot cost si 12.5 )
Several clubs will be organized in
this city, so that a member can join
one or more clubs, and draw in each
club weekly by the payment of one
dollar and ($1.50) fifty cents in eacli
club. No interest i- charged on these
pa yments whatever.
The laud has been surveyed, laid
out in streets and the iots 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 laud, tide
walks are also coniemplated, and
pleasant homes, close to business,
could be erected at .-mall cost, either
as a home for the owner or to rent
out, as house:; are in great demand in
Salem.
A- a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, ami enabl s one of small
means to secure property constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lot is drawn by
someone each week. Then you can
pay up on your lot tfter you have
drawn, by paying one-third cash,
balance in cue and two years, or as a
whole, at an}' time you may elect
within 18 months from the time you
joined the club, and secure the re?
ductions named above. {0
Every member must/ -iv his weekly
dues before he will be allowed to par?
ticipate in any drawing. If absent,
some one wili draw for him, provided
Ins ?lues are paid.
Do not be misled by any misrepre?
sentations made about this land, but
go to Salem and see it for yourself':
call on Mr. H. G. Brown, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150, some few are 50x15 >). The lotsaie
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders P easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying invistment, by the
expenditure of $1.50 p< r week. Saiem
is a healthy, busy place, growing rap?
idly and presents more ad vantagefffoi
investment than any new town in the
State.
Every working man, be bis means
large or smah, can go into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who w ish to secure lots in the
Baltimore k Ohio Land Company
should call on Messr.-. Oscar 1). Derr
& Co.,the authorized agents for Roan?
oke.City, who will fully explain the
manner of conducting t he sale, and
con be found at their office from a.
m. to 10 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.
