The Necessity Of Protecting seacoas'
Cities Urged.

The Necessity Of Protecting SencOas'
Cities Urged.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, December 16.-HoUsE
MIR. Mckinley, of Ohio, from the
committee on ways and means, re-
ported resolution for the distribution
Of the presidents message among ap.
propriate committees. The House
went into a committee Of the whole
burrows of Michigan being selected
to preside) for consideration Of the
resolution.
Mr. Spinola, of New York, objected
to that clause of the resolution WI ich
provides that all matters pertain ing
to Notifications and coast defences be
referred to the committee on appro-
priations. The proper committee to
have jurisdiction over such matters
was the committee on military affairs.
He urged upon the house the necess-
ity of taking steps to protect the sea-
cost cities Of the country. War oc-
curing suddenly with q second or
third, or even fourth rate power,
would jeopardize the interests of all
the great cities on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. He said the subject
was an important one, and could be
more intelligently acted upon by the
military committee than by the COM
mittee on appropriations.
Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, who
has served upon the committee ON
military affairs for six years past, took
the same view and protested against
that committee being deprived of the
jurisdiction which rightfully belonged
TO II.

BY Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 15,-The
pay-car of the Ohio, Indiana and
Western railway, with General Super
intendent j. H. Wilson, and J. NJ.
Cummins, train master, on board,
was wrecked near Covington, Ind,
early this morning. Both Wilson and
Cummins were killed. 1t is impossi-
BILE at this hour to gather the details,
but it is believed the paymaster and
engineer were both killed,
CHICAGO, December 15.-Of the re-
port just received here to the, effect
that an accident had happened to q
train on the line of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad near Engle-
wood in the southern part of the city,
the particulars thus far received are
very meagre. They are to the effect
that four people have been killef and
that the wrecked train is on fire.
LATBR-The city fire department
has been notified that the accident is
near Oakdale-four persons killed
and many injured. The train is said
to have caught fire and many persons
injured in the flames, one or two per-
sons are said to have roasted to death.
Fire engines from Englewood and
South Englewood have been called
for. An order was sent to Englewood
to have every physician in that sub
urb sent to the scene of the wreck to
care for the suffering. Oakdale is a
small suburb about three miles from
South Englewood and about nine
miles from Chicago. The train
wrecked is said to have been one in
suburban services. Inquiry at the
office of the Chicago and Eastern Hill
nois railroad elected the statement
that several people had been injured
but that no one had been killed.

BuiIding ana Loan Associations.


The people of this city are always
ready to engage in any legitimate
enterprise which promises to help
them individually or promote the
material interests of the city. AS q
class they are us shrewd and calcu.
lating as the people of any city; but
careful and conservative as they may
be, it is we'll enough for them to keep
their eyes always open, and with no
intention of rejecting on their Judg-
ment, or in any sense condemninB
any worthy enterprise, it would be
we'll for all parties interested to care
fully peruse the following from the
Manufacturers Record of December,
IA, 1889: A.. ,
turers' Record sounded a warning,
cautio1ing small investors and home
seekerA against irresponsible and
Iforeign-managed building and loan
associations. When such an associa-
ton is in the hands OF local business
men, and run on business principles,
il is one of the most comme"dable
institutions, for it is one of the best
aids to workingman OF lin
tied income to build himself a home
on the principle of the install
ment plan. But when such an asso-
citation is managed by men thousand
miles away, who in some cases practl-
cally guarantee profits of 20 per cent.
or so year, the working man is
nearly sure to lose whatever money
he NAV invest in such an institution
unless the association is managed
under the supervision of the state and
only lawful interest paid, and we be-
lieve in no case is this supervision had
in the South.
War has been opened upon some OF
these institutions in the cities III
which they are managed, and when
the local press feels called upon to
condemn local Institution, there
must be something decidedly wrong
in that institution.
We urge now, as we have always
urged in these columns, establish a
building and loan association wher-
ever and whenever subscribers enough
can be had to guarantee its success.
But manage your own funds.
Don't pay some concern with
high sounding name that has
headquarters in distant part OF the
country for the privilege of investing
the money that you earn with your
own hands, but put your money into
the hands of your neighbors and
friends who are building homes to
build up and improve your own town.
Then you not only have your savings
where you can see and watch them,
but you aid to beautify and make
more home-like your own town.
These seductive institutions will be
bitter lesson to many worklngnen
in the South, who will see their hard
earned savings disappear. But the
lesson will be good one, and we hope
will result in the legislature of every
Southern state passing laws to either
shut out or to hold under close super,
vision these deceptive schemes. Let
the newspapers and the Alliances take
up the fight to protect people from
such sharks, and the various leglsla-
lures will soon pass the necessary
laws.

Ats o'clock on next Thursday, at
the Roanoke opera house will be
heard one of the most distinguished
musical organizations in existence. 1t
is decided compliment to Roanoke
that so famous an attraction as Gill
more's band and one that customarily
takes in the larger cities, should pay a
visit to this city.
While the name and fame of Gill
more have been worldwide for a
quarter of century, it is only of re-
cent years that he has ventured on
general concert tours through the
country with his great band. He
found everywhere the kindest greet
ings and liberal patronage, while the
appreciation was so thorough that no
part of the country seemed to be out
of his field, and every section visited
was emphatic in its demands for early
and frequent returns. Moreover, his
succeeding visits to every place have
been marked by increasing patronage
and success, while the people haye
shown the most pronounced evil
dences of delight, and have undoubt-
edly received Il large amount of music

One of the treats of the season will
be presented at the Opera House to-
night in Carl Gardner's new play,
Fatherland = The Birmingham
Age Herald says: "Those who did
not see Karl Gardner last night
at O'Briens missed the treat of the
season. Gardeners play, 'Fatherland,
is perfect gem in itself, and the
beautiful songs which he throws into
it make it indeed a charming play"
And Mr. f. Tennyson, manager
of the Lynchburg opert house, last
night after the performance tele-
graphed Manager Beckner of this city,
You can not say too much about
'Fatherland.' the people here were
delighted" A big house will greet
the great German impersonator here
to night.
P. S. Gilmore will be GO years old
next Christmas day, and his band will
present him with handsome testi-
monial on that occasion. Gilmore is
a sunny-tempered man and grows
younger with his advancing years.

1t is suggested that the western

which case when Salem is added, it
will be Jeru- Salem, and as the great

popular prejudice against skinned
milk is unfounded, provided the article
is unadulterated. 1t is known that the
proportion of fatty matter in unskimmed
milk is not more than A per cent, and
while1his ingredient may be very neees-
sarv TO make tie mill suitable for the
use Of children and anNmic persons,
there are large classes Of milk consum-
ers who can do us well or better with
out it. The great difficulty with
skinned milk i that of getting it pure
and undiluted. But the same may be
said of unskimmed milk.
Ii, however, the city authorities took
proper precautions TO prevent the sale
of both when diluted and a~dulterated,
the cheaper article might be safely EN-
ployed on a large scale for purposes for
which the unskimmed article is now
used. Were this done, and creamless
milk more generally used, a very con-
siderable economy could be effected by
consumers. the amount Of cream left
for the creameries would be so much
increased that we might hope for
cheaper butter, and with the reduced
demand in cities for unskimmed milk
the public would not have to pay 10
cents a quart for it, New York
