THE RAILROADS
The Railroads Tired Of the Texas
Rate War and Ready to Quit.
The c. &. AMI Q. Charged With More Crooked
Work-An Accommodating Railroad.
General Notes.

For three weeks past fierce rate war
has been waged between the Morgan and
Mallory steamship companies over the
business between New York and Calves
ton and all other Texas points which the
two lines cover through their railroad
connections. The rate on first class
freight has gone from Sis per 100
rounds as low as forty cents. The steam
shin people say that the whole trouble
was started among the Texas railroad
lines by a wholesale slashing of rates,
md that they were compelled to take
hand in il or see their business diverted
10 the all-rail routes. Railroad men say
that the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad was responsible for the democrat
ization of rates because il billed goods TO
inferior points az "gulf rates, and thus
diverted q great quantity of the freight
business of the steamship lines to the
sII-rail routes Then the Morgan line
came in with n cut in the first-class
freight from New York to Sl.G2 from
81 IS The Texas and Pacific, which
has traffic arrangement with the Corn
wall line to New Orleans, followed SUIT
ly cutting down the figure to 81. 5O Tor
all interior points. Thursday seventy
five cents was the rate which shippers
could command, while freight to Gal
weston was received at the rate OF forty
cents per 100.
"This barely covers the cost Of hand
ling the goods - said Capt. Elihu
Spicer of the Mallory line, "but we can
stand il as long as the railroads can. Ii
Is lust about as cheap as the freight rate
10 New Haven. Coming as 1t does at d
time when business is naturally large
the cutting has given us just US much al
ne can possibly do. -
In order that some arrangement mlgh'
be made that would put an end TO thli
war which has been disastrous one Il

tie Texas lines were i'll session

up TO Saturday were wrestling hare

fully discussed before the meeting by TN
representatives of New Orleans Of
Ioufs and Galveston, and after all argu
ments had been heard a speclal com

in effect formerly.

How savages Poison Their Arrows

Where do these savages get this
atrocious poison and what does it con-
sist Of? They get it from their own
flesh. and blood, and it consists of moth

When they want supply of poisoned
weapons they take number Of corpses
after battle, or they kill num-
Der of prisoners expressly, and, having
left the bodies putrefy in the burn
ing equatorial sun for some days, they
stick them full of spears and arrow
heads, which they leave there for
weeks or months or until the bodies
are entirely dried up. That is the
whole process. When those spears
and arrows are drawn out, they are

GLADE ADDITION.
A Beautiful and Convenient Location
for Buildings,

No city in the South has grown with
greater rapidity than has Roanoke,
and probably not one is on a firmer
foundation considering its age.
Roanoke swells and grows each day.
and unlike most cities, does not grow in
any ore direction more than an other
but is being rapidly built up on every
side, north, east, south and west.
The influx of population since 1885,
has been enormous, and hundreds OF
buildings have gone up to supply the
demand. There has b9en no luil ir
the erection of houses this winter, ex
cept that occasioned by the rain, an(
driyeein what direction, you will heal
the sound of the hammer and evi-
dences of building meet your eye
Hundreds who rented houses few
years. ago pay taxes now. ownine
their dwellings,, and the erection of res
licences is the best index to the growth
ance that the city is here to stay
The homes that have been built
here within the past year are, man,
Of them, as handsome, artistic anC
eXpensive'as can be found anywhere
To'accommodate the ever increasing
population, numerous additions have
been laid off and the lots placed or
the market Among the many valu
able properties hereabouts, none of
fer greater inducements as a place o.
residence than the Glade addition.
This property is situated just cas-;
of Glade creek and is traversed by the
Vinton. extension Of the Roanoke
street railway, which places it in di
rect communication with the centra
portion of the city, person can live
in that section, and if his place o
business is in the upper par
of the city, or even in the
| West End, lie can take the street ca:
and be ready for the days work a.
the usual time. Every benefit of {;
suburban residence is obtained, with
out any of its discomforts.
The property is well drained anc
therefore healthy. 1t has been di
vided into lots by the laying of o
wide streets and avenues. The view
to be obtained from Glade addition Is
beautiful. On the east, TOWERING
hundreds OF feet in the air, are the
Blue Ridge mountains. while on the
south the Roanoke river winds itsel
like silver thread among the hills
forming one of the most beautiful
bits Of scenery anywhere in Southwes
Virginia. One of the principal feat
ures about the Glade property is thu
easy terms upon which the lots can BE-
gotten. The prices have been PLACED
! so low that it is within the power o
every man'to own his home. Messrs
William NJ. wager & Co., are thu
agents for the company and they vii
take pleasure in giving any informa
ton concerning the property. Cal

quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and ha.
