What II Thought OF Roanoke, asTOld
to n Times Reporter.

A party composed Of sixteen New
England capitalists arrived here on q
special car attached to n Norfolk and
Western train, No. 8, last night, and
are stopping at Hotel Roanoke. The
party is made up Of prominent men
from the states OF Maine, New Hamp-
shire, and Vermont, and are on their
way to New England City, new
town that is being built about eight
miles from Chattanooga, on the
Georgia side of the line, These gen.
tlemen have large investments in this
new city and they are going on to
look after them. A TIMES reporter
had an interview with Mr.. A, E.
Snow, of Vermont, in which he asked
that gentleman what he thought of
Roanoke. Said he: II have not had
time to look around me much since l
got here. but l am very much i'm
pressed, and so are our entire party.
This is the only town with any lie in
it that 1 have seen since ! left Nor
folk. We.have been SO much taken
with the thrift and energy of your
city that it is our intention to stop
over several days on our return trip
which will be in few days. 1t is
probable that we will invest here
Following are the gentlemen who
compose the party: Messrs. William
s. Hayes, +. K. Calef, A. B. Locke, j.
R. Drew, Charles w. Hayes, Charles
H. Rowe and e. Page, of New

THE GLADE ADDITION,
A Beautiful Location which is Rap
idly Being Built I'm.

Among all the valuable additions
that have been laid out to Roanoke,
none can offer greater claim to popu-
lar favor than the Glade addition,
which is situated just on the other
side of Glade creek, and is traversed
by the Vinton extension of the Roam
oke Street railway, This section has
been recently laid off into lots which
were placed upon the market, and are
selling rapidly. The demand Tor
them is enormous, and the agents of
the company are kept constantly bnsy
answering inquiries concerning them.
One of the great advantages pos
sessed by the Glade property is that
it is so admirably adapted to a sub
urban residence. While you are re-
city, the cheapness of the fare over
the dummy line, and the number of
trips made daily, makes at possible to
enjoy all the privileges of city life.
BY taking the dummy you can at
tend church, do the marketing or any
thing else that requires quick tran
sit and be back at home by dinner.
The property is beautifully situa-
ted. it being high, rolling ground,
and is also well drained and
BEAUTIFULLY located, the death rate be-
ing lower than that of any other town
in the State, Messrs. William NJ.
wager s Co. are agents for the pro.
perty and they will take pleasure in
showing one over that section. Trans
portation is furnished free over the
dummy line to those DESTROYS of look
ing at it.

THE WEST END
A Section OF the City That is Rapidly
Being Built Up

There is no section of Roanoke that
is building up more rapidly than the
West End.
A TIMES reporter yesterday took a
stroll through that portion of the
city and was met on every hand by
evidences of improvement. New
houses are going up by the score, and
many Of them are of substantial
character, new streets are being OPEN
ed up, several forces being engaged in
this work, and new sewers are being
laid every day along the principal
streets, water and gas pipes are also
being put in, although the high winds
of Friday blew down several houses in
the west end, the enterprising citizens
are already at work rebuilding. This
section Of the city is rapidly coming
to the front as place of residence and
well may it, for they are none that
can offer greater inducements as
such. Excellently located, surrounded
by beautiful scenery, and tie
situation being particularly healthy;
it has everything to make it
as attractive as place of residence.
AT one portion of the property, the
Roanoke river makes a sweeping bend.
forming complete horseshoe that
in beauty the famous
horse-shoe.of the James at ScottsviIle.
A 100 foot boulevard has been laid
off around the edge of the river at
this point, and the drive is delightful.
There is another boulevard the
same size over on the other side of
the addition, which extends over near
ly to theWest End furnace. This also is
a pretty drive, and from it is afforded
u very fine view of the Blue Ridge on
the east, and the Allegheny noun
tains on the west. The
Roanoke Street Railway company.
has extended its line out through |
the property, and now person can
have his residence there and still be at
his place of business without loss of
time. A number of our most promi-
nent citizens have erected handsome
dwellings, in this locality and many
others will do so
Messrs Scott s. Rives, one our most
real estate firms, have
L large amount of this prop
.rty now on hand for sale,
out it is going rapidly, and you will
Miss fine opportunity if you let

natter and call on them if you desire

AN ATTEMPT TO KILL.
BIG HOMER, A NOTORIOUS NE
GRO, SLABS ANOTHER.
A RAILROAD AVENUE ENCOUNTER.
A saturdny Night Row with Perhaps
Fatal Consequences. Big Homer In
Jail. The Wounded Man Doing Well.
Blood on Salem Avenue,

A fight occurred on Railroad avenue
yesterday afternoon about 5:45 o'clock,
between Leonard Hackney, a kalso-
miner, who lives on Ninth avenue N.
W., and Homer Clements, otherwise
known as "Big Homer" both colored.
After fighting for several minutes
with their fists, Hackney picked up
rock and attempted TO hit his adver-
sary, but before he could accomplish
his purpose, Clements drew a large
pocket knife and stabbed Hackney
twice, once between the shoulders and
again on the thigh. The cuts are
about an inch long and several deep.
The wounded negro walked over TO
DR.. Harrison's office, who sewed up
the cuts, after which he was driven to
his home. The doctor says the negro
will be all rightin few days, unless
some complications arise.
Chief of Police NJ G. Morris arrested
Clements and locked him up in jail.
He does not deny his guilt and mad e
no effort to escape.

A Compliment 20 Roanoke Man

Prof. VIM. NJ. Graybill of the First
Ward High School has been elected
President OF Synodical College, Roger
vile, Tenn. This college has $50
students and is in a flourishing con
dition. We congratulate Prof. Gray
bill upon the compliment paid him,
and regret exceedingly that our
schools are to lose his services. His
school here has grown from 200 to
about 700 in four years and is in a
flourishing condition. The discipline
of the school is excellent; the pupils
are enthusiastic in pursuit of their
studies, and the city is justly proud
of the school.
Mr.. Graybill is prominent in the
educational work of the State, as a
conductor OF Normal Institutes. For
five years he has conducted from one
to three institutes each year, and in
this work has done much for the
cause OF education in Virginia. AS a
teacher Mr.. Graybill is conseccrated
to his profession and has resisted
many temptations to leave it for other
business. 1t is especially to be re-
GREETED that he is called from the city
at this time when the Y. NJ. G. A., OF
which he has been president for three
years. is laying plans for N
of a handsome Y. NJ. G. a. burning.
Roanake has SO many attractions
for a business man that it seldom
happens that one leaves this city. We
feel sure that nothing but the attrac-
tions of wider field of usefulness
would induce Mr.. Graybill to give up
his work here. OF course lie will
complete he present session OF his
school. and will enter upon his work
about the first of june.

Story Of the Storm Told by The Courier

LOUISVILLE, March a9.-The mighty
stroke of the tornado fell with sud.
denness that scarcely gave time for
uuickencd heartbeats before those hearts
were stilled in death. Twice before the
wrenching asunder of life and homes
and castles of trade the impulse of the
gale fought impatiently to accomplish
the work reserved for the whirling tiger
of the air, whose avant couriers they
were. Twice, for five furious minutes
each, they strove and passed on screech-
ing their baflled rage Then came a
lull, but only for little space. and
then the tornado Numbered over the
doomed territory with terrible lightning
constantly ablaze.
The Track of the Tornado.
From Eighteenth and Maple streets,
diagonally across the city, crushing
dwellin~s and business blocgs like egg
shells, topping down church steepleS,
and wrenching warehouses to frag-.'
ments, the dread visitant passed to the
river front, leaving to mark the boun.
diaries of ruin broad swath of wreck
age and dead and mangled humanity
impaled and weighted down, or burn
ing in the ignited debris.
This belt of destruction extended from
the west side Of Sixth street as far as
Ninth and DIain, and an equal width
across to tho point where the city was
first touched. The loss yof life and
property is at,present incalc ulable,
1t will require long days Of painful
search and computat ion to reach 9
