ABOUT THE HOTELS.
The portly form ??" General Fitz

last night. 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

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

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

arrived in the city So oday and with
a quick nervous movement wrote hh
name on the register of Hotel Roan?

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

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

bright as a new pin, having beer,
thoroughly repaired .nd lepainted.

The machinery has ail arrived and h

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

one of the most progressive and use?

erses from "Bristol to the Sea," and
which is stretching out its brlarian

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.

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

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 <vill have to suf
fer the consequences. But we believ
there are enough pubiic-spirited busi?
ness men iu this city to furnish th*
money to carry on our improvements

Aside from the merits of the casi

representative in the Bouse of Dele
gates, of whfch merii- we know uoth
ing, or, at most, very lit*le, on
neighbor makes s< ne statement
which are startling!}" frank and whicl*
cannot fail to be very interesting to
coustituents of Mr. Wood: in thi
coutity. It will be re s-dily recalled h\
those who are familiar at all with tlu>
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.

DAY MORNING, JUL
CUTTING / IT AI St.
John HnrrlH MtaW? Stove Sins*-.
Colored.
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;<i attempts to cut
parties in Wilmeth'ts barroom befoie
Muse was slabbed. The man had a
<V>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?<? o cut Mr. WiJ
ineth in the face. The centlema i
jumped back, barely escaping, and
struck hint on tue head wita
a be.-r bottle, inflicting a painful
wound. Harris hen took to
his b-.-elp, but procec ^ed only a 6hor:
distance when he ra:' into the arms of
policeman James Vest and Flagg.
He was taken to jail, and will doubt?
less have to answer to the charge of
murder.
BASE BALL NOTES.

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

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.

j _
Poeahontfls is in a fever of excite?
ment and a dispatch from there says
that a battle took place in the stree*s
on Sunday.
A large party of men rode into the
place in the afternoon from McDoweh,
W. Va.. They were armed with guis
and revolvers and immediately bega 1
firing prbniiscuou sly. Merchant s
closed their st?ren, j .oplo sought re?
fuge in tlieir hoim-. and the to'v 1
sergeant collected ? posse and at?
tempted to arrest th ? gang.
The invaders resis ed and fired int >
the posse slightly ? >unding several
of them. The batri was sharp an 1
decisive. The po" ? charged th s
mob, captured two of them and drov i
the others out of town. The precious
pair were landed in jail, and in th ?
meantimo the remainder of the me.i
escaped over the Staie line.
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. Th >
guard about the jail was also rein?
forced
The information from Pocahonta t
does not say whether or not any of
the mob were injured or not. A-;
last accounts all was quiet, but it is
not known at what time an attack
may be made.

ber will draw for a lot at the regular
weekly drawing, and one lot will be
drawn every week until 100 lots are
drawn. The two members drawing
the last two lots will get two lots each
instead of one.

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

club. No interest is charged on these
payments whatever.
The land has beer, surveyed, laid
out in streets and the lots numbered.
The laid lies partially in the rear of
the Rounoke College and half a mile
from the center o'i the town. Water
mains run through ;he land, side?
walks are also cou emplated, and
pleasant homes, close to business,
could be erected at small cost, either
as a home for the owner or to rent
out, as houses are in < reat demand in
Salem.
As a safe investment this is beyond
precedent, and enables one of small
means to secure pfoj erty constantly
on the increase in value.
Remember, one lo.; is drawn by
some one each week. Then you can
pay up on your lot after you have
drawn, by paying one-third cash,
balance in one and two years, or as a
whole, at any time you may elect
within IS months from the time you
joined the club, and secure the re?
ductions named abo\e.
Every member must pay his weekly
dues before he will bo allowed to par?
ticipate in anv drawng. If absent,
?ome one will draw for him, provided
his dues are paid.

call on Mr. H. G. Bro .' n, president of
the company, who will show you over
the property.
The size of these lots are mostly 50x
150, some few are 50xl3G. The lots are
well situated, and our plan of dispos?
ing of them renders h/ easy for the
men of small means to secure a home,
or make a paying investment, by the
expenditure of $1.50 per week. Salem
is a healthy, busy pliice, growing rap?
idly and presents more advantages for
investment than any new town in the
State.
Every working man, be his means
large or small, can gc into this enter?
prise and secure a lot that will con?
tinue to increase in value.
All who wish to secure lots in the
Baltimore & Ohio Land Company

oke City, who will fully explain the
manner of conducting the sale, and

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.
