He canie ip from Glasgow on the afternoon tit. n, and is lookii g [ just as well as when i. madehisfamo is horseback ride through Virginia n the campaign again it .lohn S. Wi&i. General Lee eschew, politics dow. Pe has settled down to bo a practic.il man and all of his nergies are d s votod to the buildii ( up of South we it Virginia in general and Glasgow in particular. He speaks enthusiasti.* ally of the prospects of his town ard the Pittsburg rot d and thinks that it is bound to be a success. Messrs. Louis H. Blair and Willia.n J. Branch, two well known capital? ists of Richmond, ar?- stopping at the Hotel Roanoke. Born of these gen? tlemen are well and personally known in this city, and have been int. mately associated with its marvelous progress. Mr. Blair made a greitj deal of money as a merchant in Rich? mond, and years ajro he invested son; e of his xa mey in Kc noke dirt, an 3 j perh! ps ne looks cl it as the best ii vestment he ever u *d*. It is no v I worth many times in. re than what he paid for it. Mr. Br i ch is also one < f Richmond's solid la iness men, an.l| has large interests h> re. It is not often that one meets base ball player with side whiskers, j but Dunlap of the New Yorks has, j and he paespd Sunday in Roanoke. Ever heard of Dunlap? If you are i\ base ball crank of course you have, but if you can't lay claim to that tith you haven't. Dunlap is known to the base ball loving public as the ''Kin r of Second Basemen,'' and he deserves the title for there is no one in any league who can guard the bag so we 1 j as he. His side wbiskers are blac ;| and he is-on his way South on busi? ness ^* A lithe youDg fellow, with a black moustache curled upward at the end;-, arrived in the city So oday and with a quick nervous movement wrote hh name on the register of Hotel Roan? oke. His name is Herbert J. Brown and for half a dozen years he has been the hotel gossiper of the Washington Post. Mr. Brown has probably me; as many public men as any man in the country. He is a bright clever writer, and his years of experience in I the newspaper business has given him | an insight in public affairs possessed by but few. He is delighted with Roanoke, and 6ays there is more vim and push in it than in any place o* its size be has ever visited. He will] write some entertaining letters from) here. RAILROAD NOTES. Vice-President U. L. Boyce, of the Bhenandoah Valley railroad, passei through the city yesterday en route to Christiansburg. The rails and ties are being distrib? uted for the double traek from Roa? noke, west. The work is progressing! favorably. Messrs. Cod wise & Allen' are the contractors, Shifting engines No s 1-14 and 148 j were put to work on the Norfolk and j Western yards yesterday. The\ were made North, and are doing the | work satisfactorily. Shifter No. 133, of foe Norfolk anc Western yard,?has /ast come out o : the machine works, a ol is looking a;, bright as a new pin, having beer, thoroughly repaired .nd lepainted. The machine shop - t the WestEnc roundhouse is neiiri-ig completion The machinery has ail arrived and h being put in position. Everything will be ready for op. ration by th* first of next week pro-ably. ? A freight wreck <. rcurred on the Norfolk and Westen railroad Sun? day morning tu-b< Shawsville Several cars of the train were derailed and badly 6mas?ed. The wreck de tained the morning trains till noon. A small army of laborers are al work in the WeBt End on the new yard of the Norfolk and Western Rail road Company. Captain J. F. Terrj has charge of the work and it is being pushed rapidly. The ties are beinf. distributed and the rails are also being laid. The new yard is badly needed, aB the present facilities art entirely inadequate to accommodate the great rush of freight of the Tires' ent week. The Staunton Vi-idicator, in c recent reference to the Norfolk and Western railroad, says it is "known as-Mahone's road." There certainly never was a greater misnomer, and it it is now known to anyone as such the party is, in this day of progress, to be pitied for his lack of better knowledge. Mahone did have con trol at one time of a railroad) in Virginia, but that .railroad was wrecked and ruined anc! run into the ground several years | ago. The Norfolk and Western which has won for itBelf a name at one of the most progressive and use? ful throughfares, which'has contrib? uted so much to the development oi the splendid country which it trav? erses from "Bristol to the Sea," and which is stretching out its brlarian arms westward beyond the Ohio was built upon the ruins of the road that was once?years ago?known as Ma hone's road.

HE WAS A DEMOCRAT And lie Told Any Number of Fnnnj Stories. A rather seedy looking individual I of medium size amused a number of I people at the depot Sunday morn? ing by telling nobody in particular a number of peculiar things. He spoke gravely as if telling nothing but stub? born facts, and his fluency of speech and many gestures centered a great i deal of interest. He was very par? ticular to emphatic* ily express the fact that he was a Democrat. He said he was from Peaj-isburg, Gilee county, and then reiterated that he was aDemocrat. Again informing his hearers that he j was a Democrat, he said in onej breath that he weighed T-oo pounds, had been to the unveiiiu^ in Rich? mond, marched in Stewart's cavalry, shod horses, and didn't care a darn who knew it. He was in Roanoke to buy tin enough to roof the , mountains in Giles to protect their mineral wealth. He was a painter and a preacher, and preached two funerals the day before. He had painted a sh"w scene so na? tural that you had to put on an over? coat to look at it. It had been rented ! to the county to keep the weather cool. He had painted a man's house on the western prairies years ago air color, and the man hasn't been able | to find it yet. The conductor yelled "all aboard," and the train pulled out with this ntejfe?ting lion on it. KE, VIRGINIA, TUE? THEY WiNT IT. THE COUNTY WniJLD LIKE TO HAVE THE DELEGATE; MR-WOODS ?ND ? MmM What the Editor ??; rlic frMnennt:*: Ilvi-alil Think* ol It?Ho Become* RemlnlMCMt?An? Haiyn Look Out for \<>xt 'Mim1. We reprint this morning an edi? torial from the Tim as of some days ago, and also a coiimieut frum the pen of the accomplished editor of the Piocastle Herald. To a certain extent the article is reminiscent, but, in the light of events, it. will be fou^.d mighty inter? esting reading. Fo? this reason we J print it. The city of Roam :e is in need < f money, and it ir< wa.t. od badly. This is the lime for its public spirited citizens to >-ep forward an I olb*r help. First t,t all bond? for $200.000 have to be i.-.*ued on accounc of the Roanoke and .Southern roat'. Then the overhead bridges across th i railroad will have to be built, anil next will come the expenses of thj city government. To meet all this money is required, ind there is no money in the city treasury. The last session of th > Legislature dealt a blow to Roanok a that will not soon be forgotten. Th i representative from this district, i3 alone to blamo. He was sent to Rich? mond to watcb over the interests of Roanokc, and he fnihd to do so. Men representingo!hergrowingcit io.s protested and bad their district, excepted. Mr. Woors should hava known that the increase in Roanc-k-: real estate woidd be very great, am h? should have explained the matter It would havH bepti a very easy taRl to have had this city excepted, outi* was not done and we political histor* of thin dis-tri'-t durin; the last few years that the del* gation from Craig to the convention which nominated -lr. Wood.-. di< uot favor the nomination of t'na gentleman. This wa* not because o. any personal or other objection to Mr Woods, but because it recoguizec others as having cI urns upon tin party which it could not. well affotr ?o ignore. They wert willing to give Roanoke the Senator but considered that a gentleman in this eouuty ban claims upon the par v for the posi tion in the House of Delegates What these claims w; re, it i.-. ne? dies. to state her". Most of our reader) are familiar with th circumstance! to which we allude. To come to the point and m: ke ^ long story short, lit :ioi\e had the numbers in the conv? ation ami prac tically dictated then? minat'cns. Site had her heart set c i Woods, and nominated him. It gives us pleasure to acknowledge iha both of tin men nominated at that convention were and still a,^ good men We recognized this fact cordially at the time, submitted gracefully to the will of the raajoi ity of the con? vention and gave the the candidates a cordial support. They were elected and we have had no reason to com? plain of them; but c n the contrary have been entirely satisfied. * It sur? prises us beyond meat .ire to read this censure of Mr. Woods in tbe editorial columns of one of his home papers. It startles us eomewtat to be told that Mr. Woods "was sent to Richmond to watch over the in? terests of Roanoke and he failed I to do so." Are we to construe this as an explanation oi the vigorous effort made by the Roanoke dele gation in beha1! of Mr. Woods in the convention which nominated him? Was he to be the representative exclusively of Roano'ie? If so, it it not surprising that h" has failed to give satisfaction, seeing that he has been faithful to the interest of his constituents in other parts of the dis? trict. If it was impossible for an honest representative to give satis faction in this district at a time when there was less rivalry between great corportions operating iu the same district-and in the immediate vicinity of each other than there is likelw to be hereafter, how will it be possible for any man who may chance to represent the same .-onstitueney in future to satisfy the oaims of all the varied and opposing interests of the district? We have presented here a situation which it is t'me for the peo pie of Craig to look squarely in the face as well as those o. Roanoke. We must make up our mb-ds to give and take, otherwise old p&vty lines will be smashed into smithereens in Rva noke and Craig.?Fincastle Herald. Police Court.

A very serious curting scrape tor k place in frout cf Th<-Star samon on Railroad avenue lest night about ti.Jj?.? o'clock. A white man named John HArris claiming to be from Danville, stabbed a colored nmn named Steve Muse in the right side with an uMy-louki: g pocket knif;. The wound is about m ineh long and sever-d deep, and the doctors think that ills -/nances fm ccovery are very slight. It i? alleged that Harris was drunk Hud made s"-\er;w -words with Muse in the barroon-, and then both went out to the street. They had been out only a fe\v moments wh?n Muse came back into the saloon and said he was cut to the heart. He was taken to the room over the | snloon and T?r. Fiery summoned. Dr. Stone was also called in and they did all that could be dor. > to relieve the suffering man, but at this time he is very low. and will j robably not live till morning. It is e'uarged th*.t ??? fter Hnrris had stabbed Muse, he ? arted baek into the e&ioou end tii? Players. Widgins pays he has been in con start practice all th?* season, and be in in good condition. The former weak spot is now thr- strong one. The diamond need., scraping badly, end it should be dorn, too, before the Alert series is begun. It would be a good idea to have those weeds back of third base cut down. It is also safe to say that Ford, Dolin and Sproul, in the ouaield. arc play? ing their positions ahmst faultlessly. Their positions could not be strength? ened by any local material. Now that Rosey and Widgins h&.-e been encaged, it will enable tho bat? teries to have an off day. This Is as it should be for the men cannot do themselves justice when playing out of position. W. h".

LET US HAVE IT. Ronnokr Is In Gren* Need of ? Fire Alarm Syitom. The Timks some time ago called at? tention to the fact thai; Roanoke is sadly in need of a fire alarm system. The need of one is becoming more and more apparent e* ery day. In a city of 20.000 inhabitants it is impos? sible to locate a fire it1 any thing like a reasonable length of "time. The other day some one crime into the en tine Louse ar.d ?-'t?d there was a tire in Bii'-k How. The fire - ompanies went over into z.n?r Lloanr>l'e wiien the fire was in that low of tenement* in the Edgewood addition. There are two brick rows, and just such mistakes as these are being made every time a fire occurs. So it will be readily Been that we must have a fire alarm sys? tem. Messrs. Engleby & Bro. were at work yesterday putting up wires to place on exhibition th" Gaynor fire alarm system, of Loninville, Ky. A bos, No. 23, will be placed on First avenue, just in front of Engleby'e store and aiter all connect ;ons are made a thorough test v*il< be made of tho system, in this couaection it may not be out of place to say that the tower bell will probably be struck a number of times during the day while the apparatus is being adjusted, but in case of fire the usual alarm will be turned In. There are several other other sys? tems that have been mentioned, in addition to the Gaynor. A test should be made and some one decided upon, for the need of it is apparent. His Last Beat. An unknown colored man jumped from an extra eastbound freight train early yesterday morning, ju6t this side of Salem, and fell back under the wheels, which passed over him, com? pletely eevering the head and both legs from the body. The remains were taken back to Salem by the trainmen and interred there. The man was about, 95 years of age and wae beating fri? way last It was not known why he left the train. Y 2-J, 1*90.

All sorts of rumors were current about the streets. One was to th j effect that the party would retur 1 and attempt to rese'te their friends, and for a time the most intense excite? ment prevailed. Scouts brought th-V information that the men were found in a mountain pass r oar the town an I intended to form and rescue their friends. The mayor informed the military that they must be ready at an ; moment to resist an\ such attempt, and pickets were stationed just out? side the limits of rhe town.
