CONTEMPLATED ADDITIONS TO
HOTEL ROANOKE.
TEE NORFOLK & VEST I'm OFFICES
AT Least $1,000 10 be Expended ora
Hotel Roanoke and the Railroad
Offices 80 be Enlarged to q Greater
Extent Tiinn AT First Anticipated.

1t is estimated that the additions to
Hotel Roanoke for the completion, OF
which Mr. j. p. Pettyjohn is the con-
tractor, will amount to at least $780,
600 or more. The additions to the
Norfolk and Western offices will be
considerably larger than were at first
supposed, the constant increase in the
business of the company rendering
such enlargement necessary. This Is
II good sign Of the growing prosperity
of the road and splendid showing
for the Magic City. Everybody
reioices in the growing Importance OF
the Norfolk and Western railroad,
which has done and is doing so much
for this city Other railroads may
centre here, and other lines may help
to carry the freight and travel to and
from Roanoke, but it goes without
saying that the Norfolk and Western
is the best friend the city has ever
had, and that to this line our growth
and prosperity SO far is largely due.

rhe Increase Of Immigration.

During 1889 we received 430, 900 i'm
migrants, exclusive of those coming
from Canada and Mexico. During the
last ten years. according to the stats
tics of the treasury department., the
foreign IMMIGRATION amounts to 5,
973,959, not including the Canadian
and Mexican, of which no record is
kept The Mexican is very small, but
there has been a great rush from Can
ada, computed by many to amount
to one million persons. At any rate,
the number is enough to swell the
total to six millions.
The immigration more than doubles
that received by the United States
during any other decade, and exceeds
the populations OF many Important
countries. 1t is more people than
Holland has. or Norway, or Sweden,
or Belgium, or Greece, or Switzerland,
or the Argentine Republic, or Canada.
The number is great enough lone TO
form Il considerable nation.-Norfo!k

Anlmmcn.e slcnrn Engine.

A Chester Pa firm has started to
build for Carnegie, Phipps 4 Co., the
great steel manufacturers, the largest
Corliss engine in the world. The
cylinder will be 81 by p inches, and
will weigh forty thousand pounds.
The bed plate will weigh one hundred
thousand pounds. The fly wheel will
be made in ten segmants and will
weigh two hundred thousand pounds.
The crank pin will be made of the best
forged steel, and will weigh seventeen
hundred pounds. The shaft will be
made of standard steel, and will
weigh forty thousand pounds. The
casing will be made Of iron. The total
weight of the engine will be something
over five hundred thousand pounds.
and will furnish three thousand five
hundred horse power. 1t will be q
horizontal engine. These large and
powerful engines have been found n
necessity in making steel plate, as it
requires twice as much horse-p power
as iron requ:res.-Baltinore Sun.

Tho Weather.

Yesterday was one of the most ia "
and disagreeahle DAYS that has been
experienced this winter, and those
having business outdoors transacted
it as quickly as possible and returned
to the fire, The high wind which
prevailed for time is also having the
effect of drying up the mud and our
streets will present a much clearer
appearance this morning than they
did yesterday if the prevailing
weather continues.
Mr.. Greedy, of the weather bureau,
has favored Roanoke with another
cold waye which arrived here this
morning on schedule time, and in
consequence, linen busters have been
dotted and ovarcoats and mnfliers
donned This within of Mr.. Greedy
will probably result in the killing of
the peach blossoms and violets that
have been f1ourishing in the spring
like weather of the past few weeks.

LEXINGTON. Va, February G.-The
trial of the Miller boys and Reese, the
surviving principals of the Browns
burg homicide, will be called in the
county court in the morning. A
general interest is shown in this case,
and the crowd expected here tomor-
row from the county and from other
parts of the state will far exceed the
capacity of the large auditorium of
the court house, and many will be
disappointed in not gaining admit
lance. Messrs. Pendleton. Glasgow
and Williams, of Lynchburg,
representing the defense, are
ready for the fight, and the same can
be said of Observation-Disclosures,
David L. Moore. who will be assisted
in the prosecution either by Hon.
Thomas Whitehead or w. A. elias
gov, of Fincastle, or both. The
original venire of {orty-eight has been
increased to sixty or more men from
all sections Of the county; and the
opinion is now expressed shat a jury
will be secured yet. Others hold to
the view that it will be impossible to

the opening chapter of the case pro-
misses to be a long and tiresome
hunt for jury from the list
summoned. The securing Of IL
jury, prominent jurists think
will consume day or two, it
it is secured then. Very likely u
jury will have to be drawn from
another section Of the state. The
counsel on both sides, except Colonel
Edmund Pendleton, of the defence,
are in fine khealth. The Colonel is
not at his best, having slight attack
of the grippe. David Miller, the
daring young fellow who disarmed
DR.. Walker in 1he opening OF that
awful fight. and was wounded so
badly in the spine, was brought here
today to stand his trial. He is per
fectly helpless in his hips, and can't
stand or walk, and has to be carried.
He has noble, intelligent face,
marked with the lines of long suffer-
ing and trouble that have changed
the man. He will appear in court
tomorrow 1t will be remembered
that James Miller, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Walker, has elected o
stand trial in the circuit court, hence
he will not be before the court in the

of the month are iengthened by just
about one hour.

evening, and should the night be
clear the sight will be we'll worth
seeing, as the moon is high in the
Northern declination, and will be
visible throughout the night. On the
9th there will be conjunction with
Saturn: on the 10th with Uranus.
On the 18th the moons phase
will be that of last quarter,
on which date there will be a con-
junction with Mars. On the 18th
there is the new moon, which is in
conjunction with Jupiter and Mer-
curry. On the 10Th our satellite com

Work Oh the West End furnace is
progrt ssing very satisfactorily, and 1t
is ascertained from good authority
that as soon as the furnace is com
pleted, one and possibly more, will be
erected in the same locality. The
abundance Of iron ore of first class
quality in this section will warrant
the building of several furnaces, and
the gentlemen interested being men OF
means, will make the most OF their
opportunities. This is good news for
Roanoke, and shows, while her
citizens are making all proper efforts
to increase her railroad facilities, they
are still alive to the most important
feature in her future prosperity, the
increasing of her industries.
