In: in It istnoke wants the Roanoke

back yard/' This was what a proiui
in ;it real estate agent ami a large
subscriber to thenew laiul company
said last night at the nieetiiigof the
Real Estate Exchange, livery inein
!>i )? t here agreed that he was not very
far iv roil if, and t!i n proved i!.
Tin- meeting last ?ighl held at Cray
.V { ?< ? well's office, on Jeff? ison street,
was a rather informal affair. Tin- re
port, of the commit tee appointed on
Monday was read, ami it was found
that sis.?ou had been subscribed to
the proposed land company. This
was all gotten in one day. Yesterday
no one tried to get anything. Mr.
Simmons, the chairman, was nut ol
the city, as was also Mr. Kemp, am!
I.'day .'dr. Rives, the remaining mem?
ber, will !>.? called away.
Everybody admitted" that they had
done a good day's work, but they also
thought that the work should be
pushed forward in the wsiy in which
it bad been commenced, and they
didu'i !; sitate {<? say s ?. From lhe
hegiiiniiig there.seemed to he some
doubt as t" whether the Roanoke
and Southern would get a terminus
here, even it tin- requisite amount
were subscribed. Mr. floekaday
voice i this opinion, ami asked
whether or noi tin- Rxchangehad
better communicate with the eon
struction company before auy further
net M iu w as ta ken.
This brought Mr. Rives to Iiis feet,
aud he assured t he members "f the i
Exchange that there was every rea?
son for knowing that tin' company
would come lu re it they could get
into the city on reasonable terms.
"And it' we don't g?1 it." said Mr.
Rives, "Salem wiii. She wants the
road the worst Kind, and wants jr
l>ad!y. 1 know that at two different
i hues when the directors the com?
pany were iu session here, the ear
riage. was at the door of the h>>t?d to.
lake ; hem to S.d. in. They were held
baclrbycitizens who were confident
that Roanoke would make it all right;
Ttieh the Salem people came down
here."
I'.ur ti.i-did not answer tin* ques?
tion 1? the satisfaction ol tit" ?? pn?
sent. They wanted something more
definite, and .Mr. Rives gave it to
tin in. "Mr. Trout saidtoiuehimself
that if this money was forthcoming,
work would be commenced on this
end of the road at ot.ee. Uiri will be
dying in a couple ol days alter this
rout-- is as: urcd."
Tiii.- seemed to satisfy everyone
"What v..- v..mt is tin- road," said Mr.
Hoeka lay, "and it is certainly the
duty of every citizen of Roanoke to
do all in his power towards, getting il
here, i an: l ot in favor of the. boy
coif, b t I do '-think, t hat; the people
who will ie.it do all that they can to
get if here should not have our sup?
port iu any way."
Mr. R. li. ?imoved that a new
committe he appointe 1 t<> select sub
scriptious t" the stoekof the land
company, and the chair put the
motion which was carried. Seme ol
the member? objected :>:i 1 said
that the "I i commftt e was as
go id as any thai could be appointed,
but Mr. Rives representing it said
that they had all !.u called out of
town on business.
Chairman Yager then appointed
the following gentlemen : A. I).Rice. I
. \V. Gray and W. 1'. Dupuy. He
urged thai every member of theex
change and every citizen d > his ut?
most to assure the success of the plan.
I'lio meeting then adjourned until

RAILROAD NOTES.
While i: isclainied_thatthe Western
railw ay situat ion is larirely responsi
bl.-for the indifference of investors to
the in irk"! tor railway securities, still
the chances are that the market
would b.- iu about the same condition
that i" i- i! the relations of the WYsr
eru roads were lie.- from friction.
Tnisisir.t the season lor ma king ex?
tensive investments, nor is there any
reason why the operators who are
equal to tic task of stimulating the
market should <i'> -o at a season of
the year w hen other localities than
Wall street present greater attrac
; ions.
. Two hundred and fifty or three
hundred-men are now employed on
the extensive improvements of the
Norfolk and Western road at Lam?
bert's Point. One of the new piers
lor warehouses is compkft^d, and the
other nearly so, and w ork has com?
menced actively on the big iron pier
for handling and shipping coal, and
when completed there will be four
largo piers for the business of the
Point.
The Baltimore and Ohio is likely to
soon ha v.- a very troublesome com?
petitor for its coal-carrying trade in
connection with the aspirations of
the Washington and Cumberland
Railroad Company. That organiza?
tion was formed last winter by a
number of Maryland capitalists. The
purpose is to build a railroad from
Cumberland to Washington, utilizing
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as a
roadbed. The road is to be operated
in connection with the West Virginia
Central.
The apnronch of fall business is now
? i ? i ;. ? various trunk lines,
and large demand for ears, especi?
ally those used for the transporta?
tion of eoal, has been developed.
The coal trade is just entering upon
its active period.
The visit of President Mayer.of the
Baltimore and Ohio, and Mr. E. R.
Bacon, of New York, to Loudou is in?
dicative of some foreign negotiations.
Mr. Bacon's successful handling of the
Cincinnati, Washington and Balti?
more reorganization has placed him
in close accord with some of the most
prominent bankers of London, and
the restored credit and the improved
condition of the Baltimore and Ohio
render it possible to obtain substan?
tial assistance in the London market.
Developments at Chicago also show a
close relationship between the Balti?
more aud Ohio and Northern Pacific
system.

Pittsburgh Pa., July 30.?The
National Tube Works, at MeKees

mill without the Amalgamated Asso

b<* on hand this morning, but o! the
1,000 employed only fifty went to
work. This excited the strikers, ami

were interfered with; James Jack
son. a brother of the superintendent,
was badly beaten at tue Baltimore!
ami Ohio depot, while two other
workmen only escaped by drawing
rev. ilvers.
At one time the excitement was so
greal it approached a riot, and Sheriff
McCandlcss, of tbis city, was culled
upon ro be in readiness!. Other men
were chased over the hills by the
'crowd, and tonight u workman named
I Hacker was leaving the work-., 'when
he was attacked by another mob. He
fired into the gang, and was knocked
down by a shower of bricks, lb- was
taken to the station-house, where hi-?
injuries were found to he serious.

the Norfolk Landmark. Snch a
scene occurred there yesterday, how?
ever, and it touched the heart- of

10 years of age. reached Norfolk yes

fouud hi- ?"grandpa * in the < ity prison.
When they met it was a sad. sol
sight. The little fello.v cried as
though his heart would break, ami
the grandparent was grieved indeed
at the situation. The man is not an
old offender, hut this i- bis
first imprisonment and riot for
ja very serious offense. The

the orde al for the boy was that he

what be was to do. Sergeant Dornin j

"i i sterda) 's game ar Riverside Park
was the prettiest the base ball cranks
have seen this season.
From stud to finish it was exciting
and interesting, and the enthusiasts
were never h sfore so demonstrative.
C4ettig- the twirler of the Bright
Stars, gave the lloanokrabbys tlie
razzle-dazzle, and i; was not before
the fifth inn-h.g that the}>eatight on
at nil. Bui wiicn they did once catch
mi it was with the greatest vigor,
and they pounded "lit runs in a way
thai made the Bright Stars see stars.
The visitors commenced well.
Tingling reached first on A. Brodie's
fumble, and stole second cleverly.
Liettig struck out, and then Bless
nailer hit safely t?. the left, and Ving
ling tried to score, but was throw u out
at die-very plate. Hessnauer went
to third on his play, and w hen the
hall passed Kirby he scored. The
Roanokes drew a goose egg, and until
the third inning was reached neither
side made a run.
In tin- liitii the Roanokes solved
Gettig. Iveefer scored on a throw to
G. Smith, the hall going into the
blackberries back ot the first base.
Then the side was retired and King
hit a -afe one, stole second, assisted
by Wigmore's error, went to third on
C Smith's sacrifice and came in Ik ?nie
like tudeer on the single of Jenkins.
in the sixth Roanokesagaiu -cored
Wigmore hit the ball safely, stoli
second and third with his usual clev
erness, assisted by a muffed thrown
bail to Miclielinau, and then score?
on a passed ball. Quartes reached
lir.-t on I Mike's mull' of a throw n ball,
and i.ulied win ii Michelman threw
Rosenthal's hard hit ground ball be?
yond the bleaching boards. I.
Brodi.nt a lly to Jeukins and Ro
seuthal tiled hard to make a sacrifice
of it by running home on a lly out.
but was neatly thrown out at the
plate.
In the seventh the Blight Stars
tied the score for the second
dine during the game. J. Smith got
there this dine on a missed third
strike, stole hi- second and theu
scored on ? i. Smith's single. During
this inning the prettiest catch of the|
game, and of t he season, was made by
Ford in the centre-, and the crowd
gave him cheer after cheer.
in the eighth Wigmore got his base
on baits, and Ford reached first on G.
Smiths error. Quartes hii to <;.
Smith, who threw to Hessuaiier in
time to force Ford. Hessnauer here
tried, to complete :! double play, and
threw over Duke into dm crowd.
Then Wigmore tallje I and the game

house. No. 103 Mast. Twenty-eighth
street, is in the pest bouse on North

the "anasthetic" variety. It is char
aeterized chiefly by numbness ol the
parts affected. His hands, a large
spot on his breast, and one foot are
practically dead. In these part-!;,

On July 18\ young Garratus wen I

what action the government won;.:
take in the matter, and the reply re
cMved from him yesterday stated that
the government, only attempted t<
prevent the importation of tin.- dis?
ease, and that where it actually oc
curred if was for the local authorities
to deal with it. He was t hen remove i
to North Brothers Island until his
family, win* are wealthy,can provide
lor him until his death.
Garratus came here from Yucatan
some time ago to" learn English. Hiis
father, mother and sister joined him
here. There is no trace of t la
disease in any of them. The young
man must have had it for nearly tv.
year-, but he ran give no history ol
it. or even suggest where or how i:
was contracted. A year ago when
playing ball he struck the end of one
of his lingers against tie- end of the
ball,and the.joint cniue.off without
pain. The wound healed and there
wa- no hemorrhage.

ABOUT THE HOTELS.
Mr. W. C. Callahan, an extensive
wool buyer and cloth manufacturer
ot Wytheville, is at Marshall's Cafe.
.Mr. Callahan think- that Southern
Virginia offers greater inducements to
the wool grower than any other part
of the country, with the possible ex
ception of the up-couuties of Ohio,
where the finest wool in the country
is grown. "It is about the only thing
that the farmers are making a great
deal of money on today." he said to a
TIMES reporter, "and they should
pay more attention to it. In the near
future 1 believe that this will he a
famous wool-growing country. I am
a Democrat, but there is one clause
in the McKinley bill of w hich I decid?
edly approve, and that is the item
[?.Utting a tariff of (53 per cent on
wool. It is now admitted almost free
of duty. 1 believe that if it w en- pro
tected the wool growers of the Stati
would be greatly henifited."

Mr. <ieorge Canby was in the city
yesterday. He has a number of
friends and relatives here who are al?
ways glad to feel the era.-]) of his

down on the James river below Rich?
mond. He is an extensive sumac
buyer ami has a large mill by which
the dye-stuffs in which he deal- is
ground. He is amazed at the prog
which Roanoke has made in the pasl
two years. He was visiting here then,
and he says he hardly recognized the
place. He will leave for home this
morning.
Colonel Jacob Haas, of the West
End furnace, has returned from a long
trip through the Southwest, lie is a
mineralogist of distinction and be
has the greatest confidence in the
future of the Southwest, and thinks
that its mineral resources are greater
titan any other section of the coun?
try. "'Hut. my boy, let me tell you.
The country down there is rich in
minerals, but the people away back
in the interior don't know- bow to
live. 1 went on horseback twenty
miles from the railroad and it was
corn-bread and bacon ami with
buttermilk to wash if, down, three
tiuies a day, and I was glad to Lit
that. But its a great country ni ver
theless." __
