THURSDAY, JANUARY
ROAyOKg.s INTEREST.

In less than three weeks, on the 18th
of February, the freeholders of Roam
oke will be called upon 10 decide,
among other matters, the important
question of whether or not the city will
SE~snbscribe an additional 100000 to
ensure the completion of the Roanoke
and Southern railroad
Whatever doubt may have existed
some time ago, there is every reason.
s now to think that the question will be
decided in the affirmative.
And it ought to be. Within ninety
Mays after the passage of,he act, not Ia
ser than the. 18th OF May, the company
y Agree to commerce work within one
|>Asnle OF The city limits. Within six
Sssmonths after this, and not later than
ae 18th of November next, the COM
any also agree to have this point con.
ected with ite terminus within the
! city limits. This is fair.
d The advantages OF this road to Roa-
sknoke has been mentioned so often that
50 to refer to them again is simply For the
impose Of keeping them fresh in the

The ordinance ought to pass without

Flys brother. In the War.

A story was printed i'm several news
papers recently about eleven brothers
who enlisted in the late war. One OF
them was killed. another was made
prisoner, and one was In the hospital a
good share OF his time. The follow
ing story Is even more remarkable
than the one about the eleven
brothers:
There were five brothers-William,
Franklin. Monroe. John and Thomas
Dolan. They were born In the same
house in Cass County. Missouri. They
enlisted in "A Confederate company
that was made up in their own town
ship. They were with Price In Mis-
souri,, with Polk and Beauregard IN
the South. and with Joe johnson in
the final wind-up OF the war. Their
original company was decimated by
disease and death. leaving them al
most the sole survivors. They were to-
gethcr in every engagement In which
their regiment was called upon Tor
duty. One OF them was taken pris-
oner In Arkansas and brought 10
Adihp DouHldNs WhtItf thitI o'NtA'i
months, he was exchanged. He went
back 20 his post. where he found the
four brothers. each well and uninjured
by any accident of war. They re-
manned together from that time until
the close OF the war. Not one was
ever wounded not one was ever in the
hospital. After the war they returned
home togethcr-to the old homestead,
which during the war had been man
aged by their aged mother and sister.
Two of them married sisters. They
are all still living. within n few miles

Fading the War.

As we lay facing the rebel lines
around Petersburg that last winter Of
the war, says correspondent, the
men in the rine-pits refrained from
firing at each other, except when or
dered TO do so 10 cover some new
movement. One night | was in pit
about mile from what Is known ms
the crater and soon found that
there was "a johnny in pit facing
me. and only stones throw away,
Everything was quiet in that neigh
borhood, and had been in the pit
about an hour when he called out:

Fatal Accident.

Two hundred people were hurled from a
broken foot bridge In Beyerle's Park In
Cleveland, o., aud piled IN struggling
mass on the sloping sides Of gully or pre-
cipitatcd into the bed OF the stream sixty
feet below. Forty persons received more
or less severe cuts and contusions.
Men. women and children struggled TO free
themselves from the wrthng pile under
the bridge The panic-stricken victims
fought theis way ont OF the heap rs best
they could, trampling on those below and
pushing down those who impcdcd their
progress. FollowingiS "A list OF the serious

known man. two women whose names were
not learned.
The crowd had been drawn 10 the park by
the announcement that man named Bellar
would jump from cable stretched from the
cliffs 10 the artificial lake. nearly one humid
red feet below. An hour before the leap
was 10 be made great crowds assembled Ia
the vicinity. one OF the best points OF OBJ
servation was from foot bridge across
gully, G0 feet high. This frall structure.
some seventy feet IN length, was packed
with men. women aud children until IL
sagged IN the middle, aud many predicted
that IL would break. When the jumper
made the descent he struck the water near
the shore, the people on the bridge made q
rush for the place. and the structure fell,
going down In the middle. The footpaths
under the bridge were crowded with people.
and upon these the tmbers fell. while those
OF the bridge were thrown In a heap into
the center OF the span.

The women WHO Dre.. pecolle,e.

Women who wear decollete gowns
compromise three classes, but one OF
which is justified and wears IL with
propriety The woman Ito the man
ner born" educated 10 II. taught the
propriety OF such exposure along with
her catechism. wears this dress as IA
soldier does his uniform, as n matter
OF form. OF duty, OF necessity, and
OF habit. Such women wear this
exposeful garment with no more no
ton or indelicacy than is entertained
By the dusky belle Of the Sandwich
Islands. when she makes her debut in
string OF beads, cotton apron and
blinking anklets. The second class,
not so we'll warranted in following the
fashion are the women not educated
10 IL: ladies whose early life and train
ing were not in decolletc circles, but
who. iustead have imbibcd much Of
the stern puritanism. or prudishness,
or provincialism, II you will, OF ortho-
dox teaching OF modest example, and
OF rural simplicity. The woman whose
sudden rise of position tempts her in
TO an unaccustomed bearing OF neck
and arms. against her conscience. cons
mits an improperly The third class
are the vain women; the silly and
coquettish women; the women who
have perfect figures and malformed in
tellects These are the women who
have. in the eagcrness for admiration,
disgraced the social regalia and made
IL a reproach. The important thing is
not how the body but how the mind
Is clothed. When high-cut mind
goes ont in company with "A low-cut
dress the world does not concern itself
with the robe. But decollete spirit
will permeate nm assembly, though its
nechband tickles It's ears and its wrist
frills mask the hand.
