ADJOURNED JUST IN TIME.
An Amusing Little Incident in the Grim
inal Court.

an amusing Little Incident In the Grim
inal Court.
There is but one Judge DuBose in all
this broad realm, and he makes existence
wearisome to all evil doors in this neck Of
the woods, or at least those of them who
appear before the bar OF the Criminal
Court OF Shelby County.
II not unfrequently occurs that his hon
or's most earnest remarks from the bench
are productive OF soul refreshing laughter
from the court attaches and spectators. So
often is this frue that some OF the Judges
enemies are accusing him of harboring
jealous twangs over Judge Hadden's i'm
mense success as a humorist, and that he
is slyly trying to get in on that line him
self. The accused good naturally but
firmly repudlates this charge, and vows he
means business from the shoulder in what
ever word or act emanates from him while
on the bench.
The January term Of the court began on
Monday. This entailed the introduction
OF new grand and petit jures, and each
is composed of gentlemen who were rather
awkward in their knowledge OF how bust
ness was regulated in the tribunal. How
ever, they will both be initiated before
many days.
Yesterday the new Petit Jury received
its first lesson. The case OF William Madi-
son, for forgery, was on trial. The proof
was clear, positive, and but poorly con-
tested. 1t went 10 the Jury with little
thought from any one that il would require
more than few minutes deliberation for
that bodyto return with verdict OF guilty,
and fixing his punishment at long term.
For one hour or more the jury strove to
reach the necessary conclusion. When il
returned tho verdict was: equity rs
charged and we fix his punishment at
five years in the Penitentary."
This return was all right with the court
and District Attorney, but His Honor
couldn't stand such dilatory proceedings.
Carefully laying aside the piece of cord
wood on which il il his wont, when i'm
patient, to white, and deposting his knife
in the lower right-hand corner of his
trousers pocket, he planted his elbows
upon and leaned over the bench, peered
searchingly into the eyes OF each anxious
juryman, and said in his most original
tone:
Gentlemen, II is strange TO me that you
have consumed so much time in reaching
q verdict in this case. II might be well
for you TO understand that when case is
turned over 10 you there is little to doubt
on the character OF the verdict you may
properly return. II | am convinced the
defendant is innocent I'll discharge him
myself; you'll not get a chance at him."
Stopping for breath, one OF the jurymen
fastened TO get in and explain. Said he:
"lt Your Honor please, there were
eleven on one side and one on the other,
and that one detained us. In future we'll
probably work together more harmonious
Iy."
This was enough, and the court was adj
journcd for the day. II was well that il
did adjourn, for II il had not some one in
the crowd would have exploded from sup
pressed laughter.

will open up a wonderfully rich coun-
Try and add largely to the business
section tributary to Roanoke.
The road to Ironton will run through
West Virginia very much as the Ches-
apeake and Ohio does, although it will
90 separated from it by good many
miles, and will give tie Norfolk and
Western western and southern connsc-
tons other than that Of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia. The
section the new road will traverse IS
one Of the widest and most rugged IN
the United States. Nature, however,
seems 10 have locked her greatest
treasures in such places, and the Gu
tire contiguous country is said to
abound in minerals of almost every
kind.
The civil engineers who have pene-
trated the section, making surveys for
the extension, report bears and other
game as being exceedingly plentiful, and
say that the Inhabitants Of the noun
taius there still live in the most print
tive state.
In few years, however. the whistle
of the locomotive, the opening up OF
mines and the construction of furnaces
and factories will change all that,
and the wild region Of West Virginia,
under the influence Of modern inven-
tons, will be made to minister further
to the wants of man.
Every day almost new discoveries
to enrich the section are being dis
covered, ard enterprises started to
open them up and develop them.
With all that has been said about
Roanoke and the wonderful country
around i, its future prospects have
never been adequately presented. Iht
Northern mines have been worked
for years aud are now either playing
out in many instances or costing sc
much money to operate them that O
necessity new regions must be sought.
Northern capitalists in consequence
are continually exploring the mountain
region south of PENNSYLVANIA.

Washington was tEe litst Guy |" e''i
the movement, but has been hand
cappsd all along with inability to raise
money to compete with its large CON-
mercial rivals.
Patriotism. it must be ad-
mitted, has not formed as
large an element in the contest
90; 10 tie present as the object and
purpose of the exposition would seem
10 warrant. The money, which each
city has put up, is regarded more in
the light of business investment than
anything elss. The shrewd men OF
New York, Chicago and st. Louis, and
Washington, too, for that matter,
rightly believe that the exposition will
prove great drawing card. and know
that if they can secure it for their re-
spsctive city business will be largely
increased. and rea! estate and other
property greatly enhanced IN valuo.
Patriotic as well as selfish motives
actua,e the people of Virginia anG o.
the South, however, to favor Washing
ton. and should cause them to use
every legitimate means possible to
have it held thers. In that city the
exposition would DE national in It's
character as nowhere else. 1t would
he an exposition under the auspices OF
the United States and could give rise
to no local .jealouses.
Washington has ample grounds in
the Mall. or in the eastern part OF the
city for the location Of buildings, and
the Smithsonian institute and the Ma
tional museum, together with the diff
ferent branches of the government loca-
ted there, in themselves, would form q
valuable and interesting addition to
whatever other attractions might be
devised.
AS far as hotel accommoda-
tions are concerned no city
could conveniently feed and lodge so
large an increase of its travelling pub
lie without q p'oportionate increase OF
lo.el buildings, aud Washington can
make addition in this line as well as
any other place. To residents OF the
United States there is no more inter-
esting place to visit than the national
capital, and foreigners who come will
not be satisfied with seeing only one
city in country about which they
have heard so much end know so
little.
Then as far as selfish motives are
concerned, being situated nearer to
the South than any of the other cities
in the contest, if the exposition Is held
there. hundreds of people would come
to the South and pass through and
stop over in Southwest Virhinia, who
otherwise would not be so easily at
ttacted here.
II money is to buy the exposition ar
rangements are also being made by
the people Of Washington to raise
$4,000, 900 in bonds, based upon city
security, to insure the holding of the
exposition there.
Washington is the proper place.

a BLACK TRAMP.
He Attempts to Wreck
Train Near Wad swortln.

WADswoRTH, Oct "a negro
| tramp was arrested here Yesterday
for attempting to wreck the East
bound mail train at side track a
few miles East of town by misplace
ing a switch. Fortunately Engin-
eer Yergen saw the danger in time
TO stop the train. The man, who
gave the name OF John Henry
Smith, and said he had come from
Denver, Col. where he had worked
as second cook in a hotel, had q
preliminary examination before
Justice Taylor and was bound over
in the sum OF $500 to appear before
the Grand jury.
The evidence, although wholly
circumstantial, is very strong. Con-
ductor Mcclure put him off the
West-bound special in the vicinity
of the switch, and he had gone but
a short distance when captured. A
broken coupling pin was used in
breaking the lock, but the lock
could not be found. Being the
only individual seen by the train
men for a long distance East or
West OF the switch, coupled with
the circumstance of his being put
off there, makes very strong case
against him He is now confined
In the lookup, awaiting transporta-
ton TO Reno.
