therefore they are prepared to
stand by him for second term. The

ROANOKE CITY.
An Important Meeting OF Citizens
The hOtIfna-wtIt Scheme.


Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
ROANOKE, VA, January 81, 1883.
A large meeting of citizens was held at
ROrer Hall last night to discuss the pro-
Jet for erecting a rolling mill here. l..
IL. Cooke, Esq, was elected chairman
and 5. VI. Brophy secretary. The rolling
mil committee appointed at the citizens
meeting on the 18th instant reported
that S41 800 had been subscribed TO
the capital stock, and the books,
on motion, having been declared
open for further subscriptions by
the citizens present, S2,2j0 We're sub
scribed in twenty minutes. Soliciting
committees will continue their labOrs
and are confident that the subscription
to the stock will reach 500, 600 or S6O,0
by Saturday night next, although il only
requires $4,000 for organization and
work on the mill. Interesting addresses
we're made by Vice President Charles G.
Eddy, Colonel }. l.. Penn, and Colonel
ID. +. Houston on the subjects of the
rOlliug-mill and the Roanoke ana South
ern railroad. Colonel Houston gave an
outline of the history of the Roanoke
and Southern Railroad Company and
said he believed the prospects for the
early construction of the road are de-
cidedly better now than at any time
since the organization of the company,
lie said the construction of the road
would begin at Winston, \. c.. because
the appropriations at that end of the
line were made without any conditions.
Il. II. WOrdrum, Esq, offered IA resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted.
to the effect that the City
Council take such action without
delay ms may be necessary to render
ineffective and void the 100000 appro-
priation voted by the city for the So
called Roanoke and Craig Railroad Com
pany. All the speakers referred to the
Craig railroad as a dead issue, and were
unanimous in recommending that the
necessary steps be taken to annul the
appropriation for that road. 1t was re-
solved inst before adjournment to hold
regular meetings on the fourth Thursday
of each month for the discussion of mat
ters of general interest to the city.
Colonel u. L. Houston has received
copy of the specifications of Major
Ellis in his contest for the seat in the
State Senate now occupied 10y hun and

Crockett an employee OF the machine

serious accident this afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock. He was at work on the planning
mill using an angle boring machine
when, by some means, the augur turned
and struck him on the right knee, tearing
open the joint. Surgical assistance was
summoned, but the nature of the wound
is such that the loss of the limb may be
the result.
