AN EXPERTS VIEWS.
The Future of This Section In Iron
Producing Assured.


Producing Assured.
Mr.. Henry h ne, of Pennsylvania,
who has charge of the construction Of
the Roanoke Iron Furnace in the
western part of the city, and who has
made something of study of the
mineral resources of Southwest Vir-
ginia, said:
II do not know very much about
the manufacture Of steel, as my atten-
ton has been turned in the opposite
direction, and consequently | cannot
say whether plant for the manufac-
ture of steel rails here would be prof.
table or not. Since the discovery
of the ore in the Carroll district. how
ever. l have felt confident that the
future OF this section as an iron-pro-
ducing and manufacturing country
was assured
How many furnaces do you know
OF in this locality either being erected
or in contemplation
"In addition to the one here there
is to be one at Salem, one at Radford,
one at Max Meadows. and one at Ora
ham, on the Norfolk and Western
Railroad, and one also at Buena Vista,
on the Shenandoah Valley road"
"How are you progressing on the
furnace here?"
Very well; we expect to have it
ompleted by May or June, and when
the weather is good we have quite a
large force of men grading and laying
the foundation.
What do you think Of Roanoke's
prospects for future GROWTH
THAT it is good. There will be a
road here soon, take it, from the
South, connecting Roanoke with the
towns of North Carolina. This road,
TOO. it is believed, will open rich de-
posts of ore of various kinds, lying in
the counties to the south, which have
never been developed, all Of which
will aid Roanoke very materially"

widest horse completely tractable in
six hours, and claimed especial powers
over horses afraid of the cars. The
Kansas man listened to him in mute
admiration for awhile and finally
said:
II am on my way to Kansas, and if
you can do all you claim with horses,
1 promise you dead loads of money if
you will give me CALI The Bedford
man declared his READINGS to go any
where if horses were to be tanned and
he could get money enough for his

powers over horses claimed by the
gentlemen from Bedford is too valu-
able to be lost to Virginia.

this kind. Experiments had been
made on a process for overcoming
this objection to the ore in this local
ity, but there was some litigation
about it just now which kept it from
being available. In Craig County
there was an extensive deposit of
manganese, which sooner or later
would be developed. AS manganese is
an important element in the manu-
facture of steel this deposit would
become very valuable if plant for
steel making was established here.

A horse attached to a buggy in

took fright at dead cow yesterday
morning on Gilmer-street and ran as
far as Captain Moorman's, where it was
stopped by Mr.. William Walden for
tunately before any damage was done.
AS the streets had been newly graded
and were very rough in some places,
and the animal ran very rapidly, it is
a great wonder the vehicle was not
overturned.

She fs Brought Back Home by Her
Mother.
About six months ago the attention of
the public was called to the conduct of
an alleged doctor, named S. L. Churchill
who deserted his wife and three small
children, taking with him his step.
daughter Lizzie, a remarkably pretty
girl about sixteen years of age. He was
several times locked up in the
City Jail for drunkenness, and
was finally allowed twenty-four hours
in which to leave the city. He
disappeared from his old haunts alto
gether, and Lizzie returned to her
neither, who after while succeeded in
obtaining home for her three younger
children, and situations as domestics for
herself and daughter. Everything went
along peaceably and quietly until six
weeks ago when Lizzie, in response to q
letter from her stepfather, left her en-
ployer and went to Riverside. On hear
ing of this, her mother notified Humane
Officer Wright, and a telegram was dis
patched to the girl imploring her to return
and leave Churchill. Lizzie paid
no attention whatever to the mes-
odSot dhu bu0 WIS III QOuD6
as to the best course to pursue, when
Churchill himself came to Los Angeles
for his step-daughter's trunks, which
had been left at her former employers
house. After obtaining possession of
this property he proceeded to get drunk,
and in this condition called on his wife.
Her employers, however, called in
Officer Wright, and Churchill WAS
once more locked up in the
City Jail. While he was in Jail
his wife took the opportunity of going
down to Riverside and brought her
daughter Lizzie back with her, but the
girl declares her intention of returning to
live with him. Churchill claims that
she is his own daughter, and that their
relations towards each other are such as
as they should be. Lizzie will be given
one more chance to carr an honest living
before going to the Reform School.

day. On being informed subse-
quently by Captain Harris OF this
occurrence, Chief Burns addressed the
day and night watches before going out
on duty at noon and s o'clock last night,
and informed every man on the force
that unless he intended to obey his
orders as long as he was at the head of
affairs, he would be discharged. He
said that up to the present time he
had not received any intimation
that he had been legally discharged
and until he did he intended to hold his
position; and in the meantime no one
whatsoever had any right or authority to
give any orders that did not emanate
from his office. The Sergeants and men,
without a single exception, listened to
his speech respectfully, and at its close
promised to obey his orders and none
other as long as he remained at their
head.

Mrs. Patterson,s story.

Yesterday afternoon woman named
Mrs. Patterson called at the police station
and requested Humane Officer Wright to
accompany her to her residence at the
corner of Manhattan and Sutton streets
for the purpose of arresting woman for
cruelty to child. She stated that her
little girl, who is about six years old, was
playing close to the house when a neigh
Dor picked up hatchet, and, without
any provocation, struck the child in the
mouth with it, knocking out three
of it's front teeth. Officer Wright found
that the person alleged to have commit
ted this crime was respectable married
lady named Rieder, who lived close by,
but on taxing her with it she informed
the officer that she saw a little boy quar-
reling with the child, and after they had
thrown rocks at each other for a short
time he flung broken saucer at her and
struck her in the mouth with it. AS sew
eral other people also saw the occurrence
the officer determined to see the child,
who was kept out of sight by the mother,
and on gaining access to her she corrob-
grated Mrs. RiedeT's story in every de-

A Dangerous Sport for Boys.

The Southern Pacific people complain
of practice the small boys of the town
have of riding on the trains of the COM
pany between the depots in this city.
Naturally men do not like to proceed to
extremities against small boys, and they
often enjoy immunity from well-deserved
punishment, because grown men are in
dulgent to them. But their bad habit
will have to be stopped. AS many as
half hundred of those foolish urchins
at time will crowd on the platforms
and steps of train to ride from
Commercial street to the Arcade
depot. 1t is very dangerous pastime,
and before many days some of their
parents may suffer a severe shock on
seeing the lifeless or mutilated form of
their boy brought home after he has
fallen beneath the cars and been run
over. 1t ought to be crime punishable
by severe penalties for parent to allow
a boy to do foolhardy thing like this.
The company will be applauded if it dis
misses all sentiment and good nature,
and will lock up batch of these little
culprits who thus interfere with their
business. 1t may save some of the
boys lives.

A Cool Burglar.

In response to to telephonic message
received at police headquarters at half
past 8 O'Clock on Saturday night,
Detective Wallin was detailed to arrest q
burglar who was said to be locked up in
one of the rooms at the Ramona House.
The detective was informed that a few
minutes before he appeared, DIR. Parker,
dentist, entered his room, which was
unlighted, and was surprised to find
someone already there. Before the
dentist could recover his equanimity, the
stranger, in deep, bass voice, said 81
am sorry that was unable to keep my
appointment this morning, Doctor, but 1.
thought would drop in and apologise."
DIR. Parker intimated that no apology
was necessary, and, turning his back
upon his unknown guest, hunted round
for match with which to light the gas.
When this was eventually accomplished
he turned round to greet the stranger,
but to his surprise found that he had
left, and an investigation revealed the
fact that about $35 worth of gold used in
filling teeth was missing. AS the doctor
was utterly without any clue or possi-
bility Of identifying this nocturnal visitor,
the services of the detective were called
into requisition to recover the gold, but
the chances of the detectives success in
this direction are somewhat slim.
