The Midway Iron Mill.

The rumor that the plant OF the
Midday Iron Mill, located between this
city and Vinton, would be removed
to Salem or Lynchburg has caused
considerable talk among the business
men of the city. ltseems that large
majority of the stockholders have re-
fused to pay their assessment, upon
the grounds that the mill is not
located in the corporate limits OF the
CITY. Mr.. Davis, the manager, claims
that several other towns have offered
very liberal inducements and unless
the matter is promptly adjusted he
will pull up his plant and leave. The
mill is nearly completed and would be
ready for business by September LIST
and it would not only be expensive to
remove it at but great loss of time to
Mr.. Davis, the manager. 1t is hoped
that, the meeting, which has been
called for Tuesday evening, the
Goth inst, that the matter will
be properly adjusted, and that
the stockholders may come to
some definite understanding SO
that work may be resumed and the
mill be completed.

Correct. mr.. FOrde.

Mr.. John T. Forde, OF Jamaica,
Plains, Boston, writes as follows to
Editor Wardle, of the Radford En-
terprise, says the Clinch Valley News:
"Virginia is destined to be a great
State, and in my opinion you haye
struck into the right quarter. An
impression is rapidly gaining ground
here that the South is destined to be
tine home of thousands of New Eng
land people. There are lots of brains
in Massachusetts that cannot find
e en- the semblance of profitable
employment. 1t must emigrate to
where ability and perseverance are
better appreciated. The South eyi
IDENTIFY seems to be the place OF the
future.

SEW EN TO ONE.
THE ROANOKES DEFEAT THE
ALERTS AGAIN.
THEY COULDN'T SOLVE QUARLES.
Nineteen struck Out-A Beautiful
Running-Fiy Catch by Williamson.
of the visitors, Greatly Applauded.
The score In Detail.

The Alerts are good players, bu1
they were not alert enough yester
day to break even with the Roanoke:
in the two game series that Genera
Greeley kindly allowed to be playec
the past week.
They were hustled around when il
came to fielding; they are in fact
stronger there than the home club
but it did them little good. They
had not the good eye necessary to
locate the drops, shoots and curves
that Quarles sent over the plate.
To that same plate they walked
like lambs to the slaughter, and
when the game was over it was found
that nineteen of them had failed to
connect with the ball. Only one OF
the men from Washington got hit,
and that was on a little scratch tnat
Alex. Brodie came within an ace OF
getting within time to throw him
out.
Roanoke commenced well and
scored her first run in the first inning;
A base on ball, hit, a force-out, and
an error tells the story in a few words.
The AIerts din't score. Then the
home boys went at it again, but did
not score,
In the third Roanoke got two more
runs. Wigmore's beautiful fly was
muffed by q. Kelly, and Sproul was
hit nv the pitcher. Rosenthals sacrI-
flee brought Wigmore home, and u.
Kelly's high throw to the plate gave
Sproul a chance to score ana ne
didn't neglect the opportunity.
Two innings were passed over anu
both clubs drew goose eggs. In the
sixth two tallys were made by the
home club on hits by Widgins and
Quarles, wild pitch by Fuller and
Refers sacrifice. The eighth also
saw a brace of runners cross the plate
Hits by Quarles, Keeter and Wlgmore,
a wild pitch by Fuller and a base on
balls cooked the goose OF the Alerts
and it began TO be evident that they
had lost the game.
In the seventh the visitors got thelr
one solitary run across the plate.
With two men out, Fuller swung
back the stick and sent a red hot
bounder to Widgin, who picked IL
up clearly enough but threw it nigh
to Rosenthal.
The big first basemen leaped into
the air, got his hands on the ball.
but it slipped through, and Fuller
flew like a deer around to third.
Then moment afterward Sproul
mufred Wiliamson's easy fly and
Fuller scored. w. Kelly celebrated
the event by striking out.
The game had few unusual features
and ali of them were on the fly catch
order. Williamson made the great
play of the day and immortalized
himself by making a great running
catch of Wigmore's fly to centre while
the crowd yelled itself hoarse' When
the little center fielder came IN the
good natured audience gave him an
other send off. G.. Kelly made long
run and catch of a right field fly IN
the eight and Wigmore got a round
of applause for a pretty catch IN
centre in the same inning.

Reports of Riots There Untrue and
Exaggerated.

PocAHANTAs, July 26, 1890.
To the Editor Roanoke Times.
At the request of numerous citizens
of this place / beg to submit for the
information of your readers a protest
against the great injustice done to
our people by frequent publications
appearing in Virginia papers, repre-
senting rioting and general lawless-
ness in this section, when there has
been no foundation whatever for the
wild statements made. We fully ap-
preciatea live, progressive newspaper,
and will utter no complaint when the
truth is told in regard to any trouble
we may have, but we very naturally
feel Disguised over the action OF pup
fishers who, instead OF lending help-
highland in upholding the fair name OF
their State in every proper way,
always seem to be ready to besmirch
and defame simply to cater to the de-
PRAYED appetites of a certain class OF
readers who are ever ready to feed on
excitement, regardless Of results. In
the past wear we have quietly sub
mitted to gross Misrepresentation
regarding riots, bloodshed, etc, in
our midst, while the best of good
order prevailed amongst us. We ask
now that you will kindly let us say to
your numerous readers that the ac-
count published in Lynchburg, Rich
mond, and even Philadelphia papers
of this week of bloody riots" in this
community on Sunday last, In con-
nection with which several peple were
shot. ETC., was pure fabrication from
beginning to end. Today the writer
in detecting a son OF
Ham in an effort to forward
for publication Munchausen
story in which the blood-th1rsty Hat
fields and McCoys were wildly pic
tured in combined attack upon our
town. This literary genius, who is
likely the author of former absurd
items, purportinS to he
special dispatches from here, will
likely change his address to the
county seat in the near future, as his
last effort, which failed to reach the
publishers, savors sufficiently OF libel
70 warrant one of our citizens in en-
deavoring to secure free boarding for
him for a while. Should you OF any
publisher desire to be kept
90 ted in the events of this section,
truthful people can readily be found
TO serve YOU without rejecting unfav-
Drably on what we claim to be one of
the most orderly and law-abiding
mining districts in this or any other
AS whatever Injuries the
reputation of our people in this busy
section of the State will surely tell
against the Commonwealth OF the
odd Dominion" am sure that you
will not hesitate to do US justice IN
publishing this item. Yours truly,
P. P. DILLON,
MaYor of PocahOntas.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The House

cause the latter endorsed a money
note for him and also that the COM
missioner had promoted employees
who took stock in the refrigerating

A Big Deal.

We state upon good authority that
the Arminius Mines have been sold to
an English syndicate for $500, OOQ
five hundred thousand dollars-and
the same to is be stocked at twelve
hundred thousand dollars. The new
syndicate are to put up large sulphuric
acid and phosphate works to cost
from $3.50, 900 to 100000 on Mineral
City property. And it is understood
that reduction works are soon to fol-
low. Several of tile old gold mines
will be reopened and worked, and
many desert places be made to bios
som like the rose. We sincerely hope
that what is here on paper may soon
he on the ground; and that we may
realize all that we hope, and that its
realization will be but the dawn OF a
bright day for this County and State.

Oh, No. England wouldn'r Fight.

BY United Press.
LONDON, July 27.-Exclusive in
formation, given three weeks ago, re-
garding the protest by Great Britain
against the seizures by American
cruisers in Behring Sea, has been fully
confirmed by official correspondence
on the subject. The attitude of the
English government is that any far.
ther seizures will provoke armed hos
tilities. Whether these hostilities
would be followed by war would be
for America to decide, as England's
fleet in the north Pacific would I'M
doubtedly sweep Behring Sea clean
OF American cruisers, and thereby re-
move immediate occasion of British,
or rather Canadian, complaints. The
situation in London is that whatever
