THE NEW LONDON TOWER
CONTRACT.
WHERE IT WILL Be LOCATED.
American Engineers 10, Compete for
the Contract-It Will BE the Highest
Building Of Ancient or Modern
Times...Good Results ofshort Hours

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The new iron tower Of
London, which is to rise further into the
heavens than any building Of ancient or
modern times, will not reach its first stage
Of progress-that Of design-until the mid.
die Of March. The promoters have, at the
request Of American engineers who desire
to enter into competition in which pre-
MUM of $500 is involved, postponed any de-
cision until then. and probably they will
not think it imprudent to defer obtaining es
Inmates till the metal markets are somewhat
more favorable.
When 1t Will Be7
AS to the site of the London tower, the
only point which is practically Determined
is that it shall be within reach OF the Metr
politan railway, of which Sir E. Watkin
chairman. This is necessary for It's success, /
and would also be Of great value to the rail-
way. The underground railways thrive
upon shows Mr.. Barnum turned the de-
creasing traffic of the District line into an
average increase Of about g5O0 weekly. On
the other hand, without these railways it Is
not possible to obtain constant crowds. The
promoters will naturally choose the highest
ground, and are casting longing eyes upon
the upper part of Regents park, and may
even aspire to Primrose Hill
Good Results from Short Hours.
An illustration of the pecuniary result
from the eight hour system in a particular
industry was given in speech by Mr. Mark
Beaufoy to his constituents at Remington.
He stated that since he began the eight hour
limit in his factory, in July last, he had
saved Is per cent. in overtime and main.
tanned the same output, because the men
had thrown more heart into their work. II
lie could impress that upon every employer
in England, he felt he would have done
great thing There were, he believed, diff
culties in the way of legislation on the SUBJ
ject at present, but he saw no reason why
the ball should not be set rolling. Mr.. Beau
foy is as was his father, a large manufac-
turer Of vinegar and British wines.

which the Glens Falls Insurance conf

pany:
1.-The city of Roanoke, Va, lis on the
Shenandoah Valley railroad, and lies
southwesterly OF Lynchburg. 1t is a
beautiful city, delightful for situa-

BILE growth and is still growing. So

THEFREE STATE OF CRAIG.
Coming out the Wilderness In
Mnrry,

Coming out the Wilderness In n
Hurry.
A correspondent of the Richmond
Dispatch, writing from New Castle
Craig county, has the following inter
esting items:
The old Craig company was last
night reorganized here under the
name of the Craig company, and the
following gentlemen elected officers:
Decatur Axtell, president; Judge
James w. Marshall, vice-president
and counsel, and T. B.. Dinner, secre-
tary, with the following as additional
directors. Henry Wickham, A. L.
Boulware, Charles Workman, c. q.
Wexford, p. o. Barbour, L. F. Sulli-
van, D. F. Cornell, of Portsmouth,
Ohio, and ". w. Balloud, of Salem.
This reorganization, including the
selection OF prominent railroad-men
among its officers, is construed to
mean the rapid construction of the
railroad now building from Eagle
Mount, on the Richmond and Alles-
hany railroad, to this place.
The abutments for the iron bridge
across LILO u dluco fho Hoe3iS AAOoAet 49,
merly Eagle Rock, have been complet-
ed and some other heavy work done
along the route, and it is expected
that with large force shortly to be
put to work along the line that the
twenty-five miles of road to this
place will be in running order by
fall.
ment companies here backed by en-
terprising capitalists with ample cap
itai, who have secured all the availa-
BILE building sites around the place,
and property has risen rapidly IL
value. The iron ore in the mountain:
around is of the richest quality, and
there are solid mountains of it in in
e1haustible quantities.
New residents are moving in daily,
and the possibilities, we may say the
probabilities, of the place are great
assuring at no distant day a large anc
thrifty manufacturing town in this
hitherto isolated and almost inacces-
sible section of Virginia.

THE CON TRACT
FOR BUILDING THE IRONTON
EXTENSION.
MANY CONTRACTORS IN TEE CITY.
The Bids 10 be Closed This Morning
Operations to Begin as Soon AN the
Contracts are Awarded-Intervicw
With Mr. Hose.

There are over 400 contractors, rep
resenting uttwenty states, now in
the city. The occasion of1this great
crowd is the awarding of the contract
for building the Ironton extension of
the Norfolk and, Western railroad,
which will begin at some point on the
Clinch Valley division and extend to
Irontou, Ohio, distance OF 105 miles
The bids will be closed this morning
and sent on to Philadelphia, and it
will be about six or eight days before
it will be known to whom the con-
tracts have been awarded. No con-
tract will be let for less than ten
miles, and the whole line may be con-
tracted for by one firm.
The heaviest work on the route Of
the proposed line is the 3, 100 foot tun-
mel, which is in about the central por-
tion of the line. The rest of the work
will be comparatively light, though
difficult of access. Operations are to
begin on the line as soon as the con-
tracts are awarded and the road will
probably be completed in about
eighteen months.
Bids have been made for all
classes of the work from grading to
bridge building. There are a large
number of men here bidding on the
iron bridge to be built across the Ohio
river at Ironton, prominent among
them being Mr.. Kelly, of Ironton,
who is among the largest contractors
in Ohio.
A TIMES reporter had a pleasant
chat with Mr.. Charles +. Hoge, Of
Frankfort, Ky, of the firm Of Mason,
Hoge s. Co. He has just completed
the Cumberland gap tunnel, which
will connect Big Stone gap with the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
when that extension is finished, which
will be in August next.
Mr.. Hoee is much impressed with
Roanoke and showed his faith in it by
investing in real estate largely. He
says he has never seen city grow
with such rapidity as ours has, sand he
says Roanoke richly deserves the title
of Magic City,"

The Roanoke and Southern.

of the Lynchburg News has the fol,
lowing concerning the connection OF
Franklin county with the Roanoke
and Southern railroad
Franklin county will vote next
month on proposition whether that
county will subscribe $4,000 to the
Roanoke and Southern railway com.
pany, and if it is done the road
will be let to contract between here
and Roanoke at once. The grading
on the road is already about com
pleted from here to the North Carolina
line, a distance of fourteen miles
leaving a gap OF twelve miles light
grading from Madison to the Virginia
line to be done, which will take foul

Ignorance No Excuse.

OF all the excuses alleged in e1tenu-
alton of law breakers, none is advanced
more frequently than II didn't know
that was the law and what right has
the state to expest people to know
what the law is when it makes no
effort to acquaint them with the varl-
GUS enact of the legislature. The state
code is q sealed book to most people
and an unintelligible jargon TO most
and new laws are being added to the
nile at every session OF the legislature
without the public even hearing q
word about. The evil of haying'law
which are unknown to most people
would be remedied in part by the
state using the means in its possession
and publish them in the newspapers
of the state, just as city ordinances
are published in the local papers.

his friends, who made insulting remarks.
Harrison handed the ladies into a car
riage, and, rs he turned, was struck in the
neck by Cook. Brinker then drew knife
and slashed Harrison on the left breast, cut

Should Have Sidewalks.

Church street, If properly improv.
ed, would be one of the handsoinest
thoroughfares in the city,, and in
view of the fact that new and substan-
tial residences have been erected on
nearly every lot from Roanoke
to Park streets, it seems urgent
ly necessary that sidewalks
should be laid on both sides OF
the thoroughfare between these two
points. improvements have been
made in other parts of the city where
they were not needed nearly as much,
and in Justice to the patient residents
of Church street, sidewalks should be
laid there without delay.

extravagant expenses, insufficient

fast and visibly going down hill, and
attempting to ward off imminent RUIN
by every sort of desperate and shady
expedient; and the public should take
