THE CRYSTAL LAND COMPANY.
The humorous improvements Con.
femplntcd by That Company.

tSDEsAtsi@4 w 0AuG SuhApthJ.
Thu Crystal Spring Land company,
which has purchased tho magnificent
tract Of land in South Roanoke, adjoin-
ing the city's water works, will hold
meeting today at II O'Clock in the
office of the Pocahontas Coal company
and perfect their organization.
This tract includes over 800 acres of
beautiful land, admirably situated on
the South bank of the Roanoke, and
the company will make improvements
on their property that will render it
among the most valuable in the city.
Many of the leading citizens of Roam
okc are interested in the company, aud
their connection with it, together with
its natural advantages, is sufficient
earnest of its success.
Roanoke is stretching out in every
direction, and it is quite evident even
to the most conservative now, that the
city will soon have population Of
$4,000.
Jefferson street, the leading business
and resident street in the city, running
north aud south, BY which the COM
pany's property iG reached, is TO be
macadamized from the Union depot to
the Roanoke river, and that thorough
fare will then be one of the hands Omest
drives in Roanoke.
The iron bridge, which is TO span The
Roanoke from Jefferson street extend.
cd TO the company's property, will 10
an exceedingly handsome structure
md an ornament TO the city.
This building OF line ofroad by the
Norfolk and Western from tue West
Eud furnace along the south bank Of
the Roanoke up to and through The
company's property, together with the
location of the freight dspot of the
Roanoke and Southern railroad, these
are the two things which arc to contri-
butte principally to converting thu land
into silica for residences and business
houses and making South Roanoke"
a part of the city Of Roanoke.
The improvements contemplated arc
among the most important yet 10 be
made III the city and will add largely
to its solidity.
The entire property Is composed Of
beautiful rolling land in short distance
from the McClanahau spring, which
furnishes enough water to supply city
of 100, 600 inhabitants. The property
is also within easy reach OF the centre
of the city, being not more than seven
eishths of mile from the Union depot.
This short distance is also 10 be
made still less by the extension Of the
street car line there. All the improve
ments contemplated are to be made ii
the earliest date practicable. Jeil'er-
son street is to be macadamizcd, the
bridge TO be built, the company, land
to be graded ana laid oil into streets
and the street and steam railroad lines
built there.
4 year hence South Roanoke will
show 4 most remarkable transtolma-
ton.

GROWTH OF THE WEST END,
a section of The City thnt 81 Rapidly
Rcing Built UP.

\ TIMES reporter a few days ago
took q drive through the West Eud
for the purpose OF seeing what progress
was being made IL the matter of build
ing up that section OF the city. On
every side was to be seen abundant
evidence CT Improvement, and the music
Of the saw and hammer was constantly
ringing in his ears. Houses are going
up by the score everywhere, and the 5
are ell OF subs tantial character. The
West End offers every inducement as 3
place OF residence, and it is being rapid
~ built up. The location is beautiful.
the greater portion of the property
being high, rolling ground.
Wide streets have been laid Of
throughout the entire property and
several forces are at work now grading
new ones. Two 100 foot boulayards
run through the property, these being
lined on either side with shade trees,
af1ording an excellent drive. One Of
these boulayards runs down by the
river in the shape Ola crescent, and the
view of Roanoke Valley that is to be
obtained from the summit of the bill
Just before the descent is made to the
river, is beautiful in the extreme. New
sewers are being laid throughout the
property that are entirely adequate to
drain it, and therefore it is one OF the
healthiest sections of the city.
1t is safe to say that no portion oftho
city is coming into general favor faster
than is the West End, and property
there is selling with amazing rapidly.

Own steam.
 QUEENSTOWN, April 2.-It has been asccr- taincd by the divers employed in examining the hull of the steamer City of Paris that the broken machinery pounded hole through the bottom of the vessel, and this accounts for the rapidity with which the engine rooms and other sections filled with water. The divers have stopped the ingrcss of water to a great extent, and the extra steam pumps which were put at work yesterday have succeeded in cleaning the enginc-rooms and the other flooded sec tions of the steamer water As the water is now up to her usual draught. It has been decided to tow her to Liverpool, and tho voyage will begin to night
 UNDER HER OWN STEAM
 LONDON, April a--The agents of the In man Line telegraph from Queenstown as follows: 'sThe flooded compartments of the City of Paris have all been pumped dry. Close examination shows that the bottom of the vessel Is uninjured and that all the bulkheads are sound except those fin the engine room, which were somewhat damaged from the pounding of the broken machinery. The port engines are in work ing condition and the steamer will leave Queenstown for Liverpool tonight under her own steam In our judgment the vessel was throughout perfectly safe, and every. thing indicates that she would have con. tinucd to float indefinitely as she was with out further risk to herr

The city or Paris.

QUEENSTOWN. March sl.-The stern of the steamer City of Paris is deeply sunk and her bows are high out of the water. It Is believed that tho bottom of the steamer is not injured. and that the water which covered both engines probably rushed through the ordinary inlet and outlet pipes leading through the engine rooms These pipes, with their valves and all their at tachments, were destroyed by the breaking of the machinery, and frcc rush of water into the steamer was thus afforded. Divcrs are making thorough examination of the steamers hull.
 X dispatch just received from Queens town states that the water flowing into the City of Paris is gaining on the steam pumps. It ix probable that tho number of pumps will be increased. and fl it h then found that they can not hold their own against tue water the steamer will Dc reached to prevent her from sinking. Her cargo will Do transferred to other vessels. Tugs are in constant attendance to tow the City of Paris to Liverpool in the event of tho divers succecding In iesscning the leak.
