The first death in lioanoke of the
Russian infiuenza occurred at Hotel
Felix yesterday afternoon at 12 30
o'clock, and Mr. A. W Dillingham,the
resident manager of the New Home
Sewing Machine -.company, was the
victim. He had been suffering with
the grip for some weeks past, but
thought that he had recovered suffi?
ciently to resume his duties at'the
office a few days ago. As a result of
his imprudence he suffered a relapse
and grew rapidly worse, dying yester?
day as stated Mr.Dillingham was for?
merly a resident of Baltimore, where
he has a wife and son now living. He
was abont 60 years of age. His family
have been telegraphed to, and if they
are not heard from the remains will
be interred in the oity cemetery at 3
o'c'ock this afternoon.
Fir* Last Mihi.
A slight fire occurred last night
about 11:30 o'clock in the dining
room of Hotel Felix,, but fortunately
very little damage was done, owing to
its prompt discovery. The fire was
caused by the explosion of a gasoline
lamp used for the purpose of beating
coffee. The door leading from the
dining room into the kitchen, and aj
portion of the wainscoating was very
much burned, but beyond this and i
the breaking of a few dishes, no
damage was done. The fire companies
were on hand promptly, but their
services were not needed as the blaze
had been extinguished ere they
arrived on the scene.
Extension of the Water Mains.
City Engineer Dunlap was busily
engaged yesterday in taking levels on
Park street, near the railroad track
and other points north of this, for the
location of water mains leading to
Alleghany institute, and that part of
the city. The north side of Roanoke
is building up with surprising rapid?
ity, and this is not to be wondered at
when it is remembered that some of
the best locations for residences'to be
found anywhere are included in that
part of the city.
Mineral Deposit* in Montgomery.
Captain T. W. Spindle, of Chris?
tiansburg, owns property near that
place on which there is a fine deposit
of zinc and brown hematite ore. Some
of his ores show on analysis from
sixty to seventy per cent- of iron,
which is remarkably free from phos?
phorous, just the ore needed for the
manufacture of steel. All the indica?
tions are that this section is rich in
zine, and in time it will be eo?al to
iron as a leading mineral of this sec?
tion.

finest in the cemetery.

THE BILL TO BE ENGROSSED,

VIclor.T for tbe Meastir*.
Special to the Tistes.
Richmond, January 30?The fe?
male lawyers' bill was discussed in the
senate today. The chamber was
crowded, many ladies being present.-'
Senator Heaton, president of the
"Bachelors' Club"," advocated the j
measure as did also Senator Yorrell. j
Senator Woods, of Charlotte,;. a I
former lawyer, made the speech of j
the day in opposition to the bill. Be
abounded in wit and humor and was
loudly applauded. His speech was a
great hit. The bill wa? ordered to
its engrossment by a vote of 18 yeas
to 14 nays.
This is a big victory for the meas?
ure. It will probably come-up tomor?
row on its passage.
American Missionaries lu itrns.il.
Our readers ?will read with pleasure
any word from Dr. Botler, who was
once a physician in our city, and who
was here about this time "last year,
but is now a missionary under the
care of the Presbyterian church in
Maranhao, Brazil. The whole coun?
try of Bra'/il has lately been in more
or less confusion owing to the revolu?
tion, resulting in the overthrow of the
empire and the establishment of a re?
public
Dr. Butler writes from Maranhao,
that on the Sunday night following
the political change, the noise in the
streets was so great that worship in
the mission church was broken up.
The republican troops shot down the
leaders of the monarchist party,
killing five and wounding thirty
others.
The families of the two chiefs of
the republican movement inMaranhao
belong to his mission church. One or
the results of the revolution favorable
to the missionaries has been the
proclamation of religious liberty. On
the Sunday mentioned Dr. Butler
baptized one adult, and at this time
has a number of candidates under in?
struction for baptism.
It is not anticipated that mission
aries will encounter any trouble, and
especially those from this country, a*
the leaders of the republic are very |
careful to stand well in the eyes of
this government.
Tbe Washington Zinc Company.
Mr. J H. Bartlett, manager of the
Washington Zinc company, of West
Lynchburg. was in thecity yesterday,
and in conversation with" a Times
reporter, stated that the prospects fr>r
making metallic zinc were very
bright The crushing plant was
started to work Monday, and is a
complete snccess, as also is the Boyd
brick press, which was put in opera?
tion at the same time. Roasting' will
begin today, and in about ten days
leaching can be done. He pays the
next day after leaching is begun,
metal bars will be produced. Twenty
live houses are being built by the
Lynchburg Land company for the
use of employees of his com-"
pany. The stock of the
corporation is rising in value, and
yesterday sohl for" $3 and $0 a
share. The management has had
some delays, but the works will soon
be in successful operation, and every?
thing points to ultimate success.
Pluck and Energy.
Mr. J. Bayliss, who is n >w building
the Continental]hotel,furnishesv most
encouraging example of what pluck
and determination can do in Roanoke.
He came here with his family from
Canada in 1882 and for a time, such
was the scarcity of houses, they had
to live in a tent. Judicious invest?
ments in real estate and the successful
prosecution of the baker's business
added yearly to his means until now
he is able to build a hotel whTcTf win
be a credit to the city, and besides to
make other substantial investments
in Roanoke real estate. Mr. Bayliss
owns a farm between this city and
Salem, which he has*turned into a
vineyard and under his painstaking
cultivation, it has been plainly de?
monstrated that no section of the
sta'e is superior to it for the cultiva-.
tion of the grape. Men like Mr. Bay?
liss help to build up communities and
it is earnestly wished that we had
more like him in this city and county.
Xceded Improvement.
The blacksmith shop at the city
stablee on Rorer avenue will prove-a
great addition to that place. Officer
Markham has a good forge in opera?
tion there.and a nice little office for the
transaction of business, both of which
have long been needed.

?The rotary plow which has been
making 'a big fight in ; the Sierra
mountains toward raising the block?
ade on the Central Pacifiobrokedown
yesterday afternoon in the final drift
remaining near Cascade. I The plow
had been working for fifteen days
continually, and it was thought tbe
big machine would hold together
until the road was clear, but the
strain was too much, and it was com?
pletely disabled when only two hun?
dred yards of snow bank remained.
It was sent back to Sacramento, and
an army of shovelers remained at
work all night under double pay to
clear away tbe remaining snow ob?
structing five cars of delayed mail,
which was sent west from Reno last
night, and which will be the first
train through.
John Coughlin, telegraph operator
at Cisco, died at his lonely station in
the mountains four days ago, of pneu?
monia. Three men, including a doc?
tor" went to his aid on snowshoes, but
arrived too late to save his life, and
he was buried in a snowdrift. Hie
body was removed from its white
sepulchre" -yesterday and taken to
Sacramento,on? special train.

not been heard from since the com?

In two or three places the people

A gentlemanly-appearing young man
arrived here a few days since on a
"prospeetinar, tour *' He went to
Middlesborough. Ky., the new indus?
trial town, and was so pleased that
he bought real estate on a large
[scale, payhgsome money down. He
came here list Thursday and opened
an account ri ith the Knoxville Savings
Bank. He deposited ?2,000 in money
and some checks. He was of pleasing
address and had letters of introduc?
tion from Middlesborough banks. It
now turns out that he was an expert
crook. He was credited by the
Knoxville Savings Bank with
cash and checks. One check
was certified, and was ] for $1,700
on a New York bank. A telegram
from New York ( pronounces the
certification a forgery. He took cer?
tified checks from the bank here,
made small purchases and got the
I balance in cash. He went to the bank
to draw out his money, but fortu?
nately some of the checks had come
in. The bank loses $1,000. The Peo?
ple's Bank of Middlesborough loses
$0,000 by a similar scheme, another
bank there $2.000 and a citizen $5,000
on an indorsement. Other parties
hero lost various 6ums.
The total stealings thus far discov?
ered amount to $15,900 or $'20,000. He
disappeared from here suddenly on
Friday night. His rascality was* not
made* public until* Wednesday and
Thursday. A reward of $750 is offered
for-Iiis arrest. He is about 28'years
old, and evidently an ex-bank clerk.
He gave his name as-C L, Paton.

The scene at this moment on "the
floor was one of tumult and riot.
Mr. Crisp.of Georgia, appealed trom
the decision of the chair, and quoted
: from Speaker Elaine's decision oh the
I Force bill, to the effect that ? the
I speaker had not the power to '?ount a
[Ciuornm, and declared that Speaker
Reed's decision just made' would be
the foundation for the greatest legis- -
lative fraud ever committed. He
quoted from remarks of Mr Reed in
former years, while on the floor of the
house, in which he used these words:
"The constitutional idea of a quorum
is not the physical presence of a ma?
jority of the members of the house,
but a majority of the members pres?
ent and participating in the business
of the house." "I appeal," Mr. Crisp ';
exclaimed, "from 'Philip drunk to
Philip sober.'"
After further debate the matter
went over.
Railroad Injunction Refused.
By Associated Press.
Cincinnati, January :'A? Judge
Evans, of the Common Pleas Court,
yesterday declined to enjoin the pay?
ment of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railroad company's dividend
recently declared on common stock.
The application was made by C. H.
Potter, of Cleveland, holder of some of
the preferred stock issued by Henry
S. Ives. There is a suit pending t?
declare this preferred 6tock illegal and
void. Judge Evans said there was no
ground for an injunction, as the pay?
ment of the dividend required only
$70,000, and this did not constitute
an irreparable injury.
