Demands for Relief.

Clicked sewers, due to the collection Of
drainage water below the city and between
Y and R streets, have flooded many yards
and easements on the old grade as far
north as M street, and the demands yester-

were renewed and very emphatic.
From Eighth street down along and
south of NJ street the water has backed up
into the yards and easements. and as re-
suit there is great deal of complaining.
The people are confident that the pumps
can afford relief, and are urgent that the
machinery be set in operation again.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--Postmastcr Cen
eral " namaker aud President y. B..
Chandler of the Postal Telegraph company,
were interrogated by the members OF the
house committee on postofiices and post
roads today on tho subject of establishing n
limited post and telegraph service.
Dir. Wannmaker continued the statement
begun by him before the committee last
week. He said that his relations with the
telegraph companies were exceedingly pleas
ant He hal never had any difficulty of a
personal character with the Western Union.
In regard to the postand telegraph scheme,
Mr.. Wnnamakcr said that some people would
say:
as there amy personal feeling behind
this.n
He wanted it distinctly understood that
there was nothing of the kind. In regard
to the bill submitted by him, Mr. Wanna
maker said that he offered it only as a
study. He had 10 changes to offer, except
to suggest that section {, which fixes the
rates for messages, might be eliminated and
the power Of fixing rates vested in the post
master general.
He said civil service would control the
new establishment and recommended that
some penalty be provided to prevent the
Use of the wires for political purposes by
officers and employees of the governmentand
others. The difficulty Of making contract
with some Aexibility in it, he said, was not
so great as it might seem.
Mr. Wanamaker, in answer to questions
by members Of the committee, said he
thought ths scheme would work to the bene-
fit Of the telegraph companies by giving
them additional work, but the companies
differed with him. He had believed all
along that it would be greatly to the inter
est of the Western Union to contract With
the government.

GATHERED BY OUR REPORTERS
4 Local Reporter Assaulted by AN
Unknown Marrow Escape
From Death. The Asseilnnt Es
capcS.

MFR. Harry Gilmore, local reporter
for the Evening World, was assaulted
last night by an unknown man about
9.3O o'clock, and narrowly escaped
being killed. he was on his way
home and had reached point just
beyond the Felix hotel on Jefferson
street, when Il man sprang out from
behind real estate sign and struck
him over the head with n heavy
railing, His assallant struck mt HIM
again, but as the weapon descended
Mir. Gilmore caught 1t and wrenched
it from him, when lie took to his heels
audescuped. AS the man struck the
first blow he exclaimed, "D-n you, you
belong to clique that | have been
looking for.
Mr.. Gilmore SAYS he hasn't an enemy
i'm the world that he knows OF, ana
has no idea who his assaliant can oe'
rhc party who made the attack upon
his life was white man with a heavy
mustache, and about five feet si1
inches tall. A..
A TIMES reporter was shown the
stick with which the assault was
made. 1t was OF heavy heart pine,
about four feet long, and if tho blow
had struck Mr. Gilmore as the would
be assassin evidently intended, 1t
would have killed him. but fortunate,
Ivos the stick descended he ducked
his head down and thus was not
struck souarely on the head. Near
the end OF the paling was tenpenny
nail This nail struck Mr.. Gilmore S
hat and knocked it off when the
attacking party made the assault. II
Mr.. q had not lodged the blow the
nail would in all probability nave
pierced his temple and caused death
AS Mr.. Gilmore was going nome
Tuesday night he saw Il man lean
ing against the fence around Hotel
Roanoke grounds, and as he ap
proached he hear: the click, click
of n revolver as he supposed. AS he
had passed he saw that the man hau
4 pistol IN his hand.
he did not think much OF the oc-
currencp at the time, but since the as
sault last night, he is inclined TO tnlnk
that the man he SAW Tuesday night
intended to shoot him but was de-
tered from so doing by some cause.
This is the third attempt that mas
been made upon the lives of our cltl-
zens within the past ten days, and It
should stimulate the police TO SUN
greater vigilance Every effort pos"
sibie should be made TO detect thr
T"n of these outrages and
brin. them to justice. 1t is evident
that our city is infested by q lot OF
thugs. and if stringent measures are
not taken TO suppress them the city
will be in their possession in few
months.
Mr.. Gilmore, who always looks upon
the comical side of everything when
relating his adventure to a reporter
said that in taking the paling away
from bis ass;tilant he fell into a lnuu
hole in the street. "Ifthe streets had
been properly attended to-" said he,

which are Melting Rapidly.

Now that the additional approprin-
ton of 100000 has been voted Tor
the construction of the Roanoke and
Southern railroad, all classes of our
citizens are confident as to the future
growth of this city and section. a
visit to any portion of the city Will
show astonishing improvements IN
the past six weeks, but while wonder
fnl changes have taken place all over
the city, in the matter Of house build
ing it is in the eastern and northern
portions of Roanoke that the most
remarkable transformations have been
accomplished.
Not only have large additions been
made to the resident part OF the city
in those localities, but the completion
of the street railway line between
Roanoke and Vinton has given an
impetus to house-building between
the eastern suburbs and the last
named city which promises to accom-
plish the most important results.
The fare over the railroad is such a
small item that many people are
selecting sites for homes near Vlnton
with view of enjoying all the advan-
tages OF a residence in the city with
out its discomforts.
The Glade Land company, which
was organized some months
ago to sell lots on the property near
Glade Creek, is receiving most
literal patronage from reai-estate IN.
vestors because of the eligibility OF
the location and the reasonable
charges for lots The lands OF this
company are we'll drained and are OF
provprbial healthfulness. Those who
purchase lots of the company are GER
tain to get the full worth OF their
money, and as the property IS con-
tiuuaily increasing in value they are
sure to reap a rich percentage on their
investments without any effort at all
on their part. While the advantages
OF ehese lands are unsurpassed SIMPLY
from a standpoint of investment, IL Is
as homes for workingmen anu those
who like 10 breathe the fresh air OF
the suburbs that its attractions shine
forth especially.
Much OF the property in the cen,
tire of the city has been placed bevond
the reach of those who have to labor
for their daily bread. Other proper
ties, while especially desirable to
some, are not suitable as homes for
workingmen because they lack the
advantages of a street railway. and
are too far removed from the business
centre to meet their special REQUIRE
ments. This is not he case with the
lands OF the Glade Land company.
In addition to their general health
fulness, they are r,versed by the
Roanoke Street railway, and are sui
ticiently near to Roanoke and Vinton
for residents there to make purchases
or sell produce in either place.
Alread, there has been great rush
for lots in that locality, and many
choice locations have been disposed
of. but Messrs Yager s. Co: agents
for the company. have still large
number of valuable lots to dispose OF,
and seekers for homes and investors
in real estate would do well to call on
them.

one Of the principal actors in the terrible

The man who is under arrest, however, is
not Cooney, "the Fox, as was reported, and
he was not arrested i'll Michigan. The man,
who is said to have played more important
part than Cooney in tho bloody drama OF
the Cronin conspiracy and butchery, was ar
rested in st. Louis by Officer Thomas, of the
Central station.
The man has been sought long and vainly,
aud the authorities had almost given up all
hopes of being able to capture him.
Chief Marsh was very reticent and refused

however, that an important arrest has been
