THE ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN.

The proposition of a number of the
members of the real estate exchange
to organize stock company Of $50, 0O0
and purchase the right Of way and ter
minal facilities for the Roanoke and
Southern; and offer them 10 the Con-
struction Company on reasonable
terms is good one.
There ought 20 be no further delay
in the roads beginning work here.
According to statements made by
gentlemen who had talked with officers
and directors of the Company, tho Oh
stacles in the way are not large.
The railroad should not be made to
pay large or unreasonable amount to
enter the city.
The road is going to be a great bene-
fit to Roanoke, and property ownels
ought TO appreciated this.
The proposition to secure facilities
and meet the Construction Company
half way, offering them the property
reasonably is commendah!e-
ROANOKE must have the Roanoke
and Southern. and the city owes it 10
its own interest 10 see that tie COM
pany is rot charged an cXorbilant price
for entrance an! 'ermlnus here.

among others and WAS believed to be
the only feasible one. He related an
incident which occurred when the
Shenandoah Valley road was being
built. Salem was sure Of getting the
road. They would do nothing. The
road was obliged to come to them
and when they had promised to meet
IL party Of the promoters She Salem
ties left negro in the Office to meet
the gentlemen and the Salcmites
who were most int rested went bird
hunting, And the road didn't come
there.
Mr. Asberry said he didn't want to
be misunderstood He was not fight
ing the road He had subscribed
largely to it; and wanted it here. He
believed the road was coming here,
but he also believed that Roanoke
had done all that it should.
This brought Mr.. Simmons to his
feet again He reiterated the state
mcnt that the plan suggested was the
only feasible one before the meeting.
The Virginia and North Carolina
Construction Company had no inter
ests in Roanoke. They were build
ing the road for lust what it was
worth to them, and if Salem, or any
oth0r place offered greater induce
ments. the road would not coE4e here.
Mr.. HockadaY asked the question,
"Do YOU believe that an additional
subscription Of $4,000 would bring
the road here

Simmons, but | do not believe it

end, cost the stockholders dollar
Mr.. Baker said that if he WAS not
very much mistaken Il route had been
offered along Commerce street with Il
terminus Just acrass the railroad tor
$775, 900. The proposition, however, to
the best of his knowledge had not
been entertained.
Mr.. Simmons said that he under
stood that this proposition had been
exceedingly indefinite and this might
have been the reason il had not been
cntertained. Is for himself one site
suited him as we'll as the other.
Mr.. F.. b. Kemp moved that three
gentlemen be appointed 10 see how
much stock would be subscribed to
the idea supported by Mcssrs, SIM
mons, Rice and Rives.
Mr.. HockGday asked whether or
not the other route would be con-
sidered, and also whether people sub
Scribing To the land company would
have Il guarantee that the road would
come here. The answer WAS that the
additional subscription would insure
the road The rival route would also
be looked into, but the general i'm
preston was that the road would not
cross the tracks Of the Norfolk and
Western.
Mr.. Kemp wa requested 10 put his
motion in writing 1t reads; ! move
that the chair appoint three members
of the exchange to wait on the real
estate agents and other citizens of
Roanoke with subscription list to
raise Il $50, Geo stock company for the
purpose of purchasing land and
securing the route OF the Roanoke

The following committee WAS then

A PIPE BREAKS.
The City's wafer Supply Cut Short
Temporarily.

Early yesterday morning the pipe
through which the water supply of
the city passes, broke just where it
crosses the Roanoke river and last
night the town was without water.
The pipe rests on the bed of the
stream and when it burst great Jet
of clear water gushed out and mingled
with the water Of the Roanoke. The
water shot out with much greater
force than the current of the river so
none of the muddy fluid got into
the pipe.
A colfer-dam was at once began.
and by s o'clock last night it had
been completed and the work of
pumping out the water was com
nenced. 1t was very slow work, how
eyer, as the dam leaked considerable
and should it not be completed by
this morning Roanoke will be treated
to small water famine, and the
work in all the shops of the town will
come to q standstill.
This morning early all of the shops
were sent notices to use the water as
sparingly as possible and to watch
the boilers closely. In the meantime
the city was supplied with water
the force pump at the reservoir
this did not last long. A little after
night fall not a hydrant in the citv
was in working order.

A Decision on Assigned Contract to
Deliver Fruit.

A Decision on an Assigned Contract to
Deliver Fruit.
A decision was rendered yesterday by the
Supreme Court on the appeal of the defend
ant in the complicated suit of the Cutting
Packing Company vs.. The Packers Ex-
change of California. On September II,
1881, contract was entered into between
w. c. Blackwood and the Cutting Packing
Company for the delivery of crop of april
cots at Haywards for the seasons of 1882,
seventy-five tons and not more than 200 tons
per year, and at the agreed price of cents
per pound. On March 10, 1882, the contract
was assigned to the Packers Exchange of
California by the Cutting Packing Com
pany, but Blackwood refused to deliver the
fruit 10 the substituted firm.
During the month of July and August
1884, and in accordance with his contract,
BlackWood made delivery of 235 ,693 pounds
of apricots to the Cutting Packing Company,
Which III turn rendered it to the firm to
whom 1t had transferred its-the contract;
but the fruit was refused. Ii was then
placed on sale by the plaintiff and brought
S4I10 80, or $500 % less tn, amount it was
compelled to pay Blackwood, who then
brought suit and recovered judgment. The
packing company then entered suit to re-
cover from the exchange the whole amount
in accordance with the contract signed over
10 it.
The trial court held-and in its judgment
the Supreme Court has coincided-that,
while the plaintiff vas not released from the
burden of the contract by its assignment,
yet when the defendant took the right to
purchase the fruit it also assumed the bur-
den OF paying for it. The court held the
contract to be n0n-neg0tiable instrument.

them and made seizure of the entire out

share is S537 90, Gray Sl7l Al, Figuera and
