4 LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Mr.t,Grabricl. Duvul Succeeds in Outrum-
ming Horse.
Quite an exciting chase after runaway
horse occurred on Duck Alley or Second
avenue n. g.. yesterday afternoon about
3 o'clock. The animal, which is owned
by Mr.. &. w. Wright, was attached to ii
light carriage. and had been standing
just across tho Norfolk and Western
railroad at the west end of the freight
building, in which Mr.. Wright was
transacting some business, when ii sud
denly took into its head to go west
down the avenue.
The farther it went the more its speed
was accelerated, until it passed the
planning mill of the Roanoke Manufac-
turing Company. No one who saw the
horse and carriage expected to see any
thing but smash-upof the latter Sud-
denly Mr.. Grabricl Duval started after
the fast rcccding vehicle. and. although
the horse was thirty feet ahead of
him. after running about scycnty-iivc
yards, he caught hold of the bride, and
brought the runaway to halt 1t was
the fastest running seen in this city
since the races. and nothing but Mr..
ID. $ SwiftncSs of foot saved the vehicle
from destruction

The registration books, which were
closed Saturday, show tho total number
of registered voters to DO arse, an in
crease of lao over the registration of
1888, and of POI over that of May, 1890.
The figures gives Il general idea of the
growth of the population of Roanoke,
when it is considered that this includes
only part of those who have been here
at least three months, many of those
who have come here during the last
year having come from other States.
There is but little interest in politics,
and Il large number who are entitled to
register have neglected to do so.
Everybody is absorbed in business and
i'll the rush to make money. The indi-
cations are that tho vote will be light.
No one could learn by mingling with the
people. that there is to be Il Congress
sional election on the 4th Of November.
The incrcase Of POI in registration
since the May elections is IL better
showing for the growth OF the city than
for policitical enthusiasm 1t is not a
bad showing for the Democratic party,
rs only seven of this number ar
negroes.

The Field Marshall Disposcs of Part of
His Cincinnati Interest.
CINCINNATI, Oct 27.-I Special 1t is
announced upon reliable authority that
Murat llalstcad, who owned II large in
tcrcst in the stock of the Commercial
Gazette Company, has sold to 4 broker Il
portion of his holding. Whether the sale
is coupled with Il contract to give the
purchasers control by proxy of his re-
naming shares so rs to give them unrc-
restricted control of the paper. is not
known but it is probable that this sal
settles the fact that lIalstcad will not
return TO Cincinnati, but will remain
in the East.
Until the names of the purchasers
from the brokers are made known, there
is much speculation on that point. Gen
cral Algcr. and cX-Assistant Postmas-
tcr-Gcncral Clarkson have been guessed
by some as the men. Tho transfer of
stock and reorganization. il any is ac-
complishcd, will be done within thirty
days.
NEW YORK, Oct.:1.- Special -Murat
llalstcad was seen this afternoon by an
Associated Press reporter in regard 10
the statement. llalstcad commented
upon the dispatch rs follows: II do moi
see why one cannot sell newspaper stock
as we'll as railroad stock without public
connection. have agreed to sell Il por-
ton of my stock in the Commcrcial-t;a-
zcttc, of Cincinnati. have contcm-
plated doing this during the six months
have been engaged here. and that is
all there is about it.
There is no deep political scheme
behind this matter: nothing revolution
airy or III any sense remarkable. IT i,
strictly business affair, and in view of
what am about and propose to do, it
seems to me to be u transaction that |
will find advantageous. The rumor
that connects with this transaction, the
names of two distinguished politicians
Is without foundation. Since the mat
ter is mentioned, this would seem to
confirm the statement that did not cX-
pcct to return to Cincinnati in haste.
would also add that shall still remain
large stakeholder in the Commercial

The trade unions are not designed to

protect themselves against incompetent
and unreliable workmen who care moth

Work in Roanoke.
For Il long time the necessity of some
organized effort to find for young men
comfortable and we'll managed boarding
places where they will be surrounded
by moral inflcnccs, have been felt in
Roanoke. This need, to great extent,
will be met by plan which has Just
been adopted by the Young Mems
Christian Association. Mr.. johnson,
the general secretary, desires that all
Christian householders who are willing
to take young men for table board or
lodging or for both, to apply to him
either in person or by mail. and be sup
piled with blank forms to be filled and
returned to the Office of the association.
where they will be kept on file as
changes may occur.
This will not only be great convcn-
iencc to young men who are daily com
ing to Roanoke, but will also help those
who desire boarders.
Cooperation in this matter will Sc :
cure good results.
