He then admitted his wife and commenced a desper- ate effort to eject Howe and another man whom the latter had enlisted. Rhodes was severely cut about the head, face and arms. Large pieces of flesh were torn from his arms and face from coming in contact with the window glass while he was being forced out. Chief of Police Mitchell and Deputy Kelly were sent for, and after witnessing the struggle for some time Mitchell assisted Rhodes in putting Howe and the other man out. The chief acted he did, he says, simply to preserve the peace. At present Rhodes has possession of the house.

 Arrears Of Rent-The Act Attacked by

 LONDON, Nov. 23.-In the House of Com mons MT. Gladstone, replying to Mir. Par nell, said that it was not the intention of the government to amend the arrears of rent act extending the period for the payment of the 1881 rent and it could not make any provi- sion for the payment to the landlords of the cost of ejectment to the church fund. Mir. Parnell moved an adjournment The Speaker put the question under the new rule, when nearly hundred members rose in favor of MT. Parnell being heard.
 Mir. Parnell attacked the arrears of rent act as giving tenants too limited a period ir which to make application for the benefit ot the act. He dilated upon the distress now impending in Ireland MT. Trevelyan ex. plained that tenants could reply under the act until the end of the year and said the gov ernment was watching the situation and pre- pairing means to meet the distress. MT. Par nell said that he was satisfied that he sue ceeded in directing attention to the state o the country and withdrew his motion to ad | journ. The House then resumed the pro cedure debate.

The Sanitary Condition of Newport
 NEWPORT, Nov. 23.-The report of the Ma tional Board of Health on the sanitary con- dition of Newport was read at Q special meet ing of the sanitary protection society this af- ternoon. The report was not made public, but it may be said that it strongly condemns the public water supply, the wells and gener- al sanitary arrangements of the city and de- clares that the more thickly settled wasds are not desirable for residences and but few of the villas are pronounced satisfactory. The report concludes with the belief that the Newport city authorities will adopt no meas ures of relief until an epidemic occurs, which it is said would be exceedingly disastrous. An investigation was made at the request and expense of the society to influence the city authorities to establish separate health board and it was offered to suppress the re- port if such board was established. This proposition was refused and it is probable that the full report will be soon given the public. It should be stated that the general health of the city is and has been good and that mo zymotic disease at all is prevalent The citizens feel that Newport will compare favorably with other cities and resorts despite this unfavorable report.

JENNIE CRANE
q Poor Moth Who Died in the Flame
Sketch of the Girl.

When the body Of Jennie Cramer was discovered
by Uncle Asa Curtis the clam digger, carly on the
morning of August last, In tho waters of Long
Island Sound that skirt Savin Rock 1t was en-
cascd in clothes quite Characteristic of tho girl.
The dress was Of pure white, trimmed tastefully,
md cut low at the neck. Her hat was Of the
Gainsboro' STYLE turned back from the forehead
and embellished with feathers and flowers to add
to its atttactveness. Her stockings were of fash
ion0ble hue, md her shoes were new and Of the
best make. Around her neck was Il double row of
silver beads and OH her fingers were several rings
Which II was engraved her H Initials As seem few
days before her death, in this costume, Jennie
LOOKED VERY ATTRACTIVE,
but did not give one the impression that she was
possessed of an overnbundance of modesty. II
could be seen Mt glance that she was fond OF ad-
miration, and If not approached too boldly by
young man of prep ssessing appearance, though
stranger, an acquaintance could be formed. The
girl was of a striking type of beauty. Her eyes
were black large and lustrous, with dropping dark
cyclashes. Her features were regular, the mouth
irihing inclination to pout. Her teeth were regu-
lar and white, aud her skin of a remarkable white
ness and purity. This gave credence 10 the report
that she was all habitual arsenic eater, but those
who knew her in early childhood say that her
skin was always white and clear.
HER FORM WAS WELL ROUNDED
and her carriage graceful 1t is no wonder that
such n girl had hosts of admirers and that she at
trnced the attention of young men above her in
social SluuOn, lnOuRn not possessing more tDan
an ordinary education, and having 10 gift of con-
vesaion, she was fond OF gayety, and at times
viyacious., Her mother allowed her wide lat
tude, much to her regret now, doubtless. She was
taken from school Mt an early age, and for five
years before her death, her age then being 81,
she had little to do but nurse her beauty and re-
ceive the ilattery OF. young men. She attended
her fathers cigar store sufficiently TO enable her to
form an extensive acquaintance with the youth of
the city. Her facilities in this regard were en-
larged through the indulgence OF her mother and
the socabiity which prevails

FROM ROANOKE.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
Your issue of 18th contains an article favoring
an appropriation of 100000 for the erection of
public buildings" in this town in preference to
Lynchburg, as proposed in the bill now before the
Senate. For this change of place the writer as.
signed FIVE reasons-four of them embOdy facts
and we believe are correct; the fifth is of per-
sonal nature, and from our personal knowledge
does less than justice to the views and feelings of
u large majority Of the citizens ofLynchburg. The
people Of this whole section would welcome TO
their midst all law abiding citizens, without refer
euce to their political aflnities, and certainly no
section Of the State affords greater advantages of
climate than this lovely valley. We do not think
that any claim can be made for Lynchburg which
will not apply with equal force In favor of Roa.
nokc. Roanoke was lately only pleasant village
now II Is town, and soon will be II city, rvallng

and almost certainly eSce!ling IL in manuiactur-

next to Atlnntn) the largest inland manufacturing
town In the South bids iair,to be n complete sue
cess. Arrangements have already been made for
the employment Of upward OftwO th0rsad onera-
tives. The shenandoah Railroad with different
gauge from the Norfolk and Westerly has its ter
minal point here and these reads have under
contract, within the corporate limits of the town,
permanent improvements to cost upward Of two
million dollars probably not less than three mil
lion. The town is located in the midst of fertile
| valley, and has large aren OF productive lands,
| extending from North Carolina TO West Virginia,
tributary TO It, and which find here their natural
! outlet TO the markets Of the world. The town af-
| iords nearly equal facilities for reaching Norfolk,
| Richmond, Washington, Baltimore, or Philadcl-
| phia aud is in daily communication with New
| orleans. 1t will surely be the shipping market
for the cattle of Southwest Virginia and East Ten
nessee.
It's population will continuously represent an
increasing portion of the labor, enterprise, and
wealth Of the Eastern, southern. and Western
States, so that the proposed appropriation would
be moi only a sectional but also national bene-
faction. Facilities for the construction of the pro-
posed buildings will be afforded by the proper
authority equal to those rendered by any other
locality, Roanoke Is also the most GENITAL point,
aud Is almost actually central point, and will
afford means of easier access and less necessary
expenditure, to a much hrcer number OF PERSONS
than IL the prOpo,ed buildings were erected in

| these, among many reasons which might be
assigned, we trust thut the proposition to erect
these public building ut Roanoke, may be favor.
